Chapter 744 (Heavens’ Intervention)
“Fire! Fire!” The women in the city rushed to fetch water in wooden buckets, hoping to extinguish the raging flames. But their efforts were in vain; it was only a matter of time before the monsters broke through.
The old men released all their arrows and unsheathed their swords, ready to fight the creatures to the death. They were determined to face their fate alongside the Divine Steppes.
As they confronted the ferocious monsters, despair filled the people on the city walls. They wished for a rescue, someone to eliminate these evils.
Perhaps the prayers of the old men were answered by a higher power. Suddenly, a beam of light pierced through the gloomy sky, and the snowflakes ceased falling.
The monsters halted their attacks, and even the witch priestess was puzzled. She wondered who could have arrived in this small place. The abandoned Valoris was forsaken by the Divine Steppes, and the sects were unlikely to intervene. What was happening?
While the witch priestess questioned the situation, the old men on the city walls, along with the women in the city, dropped to their knees, shouting with joy, “Heavens’ intervention! The heavens have opened their eyes!”
Indeed, the phenomenon resembled heaven opening its eyes.
Of course, it wasn’t heavens’ intervention but rather the moment when Ye Hua felt it was about time to make an appearance. Starting with an overwhelming effect wouldn’t create the desired impact. Instead, he chose to bring hope when people were at their most desperate, ensuring their endless admiration for him.
Don’t ask how he knew; after watching the Calabash Brothers for several years, he had come to understand this principle.
Above the sky, a golden light descended, and Ye Hua, along with his subordinates, appeared for the first time in the Cangluo Continent. Although the audience wasn’t large and their strength wasn’t remarkable, it was the first step they took.
The people on the city walls observed more than twenty figures suddenly appearing. There were men, women, and even children. Everyone was perplexed. Who were these people?
Regardless of their identities, descending from the sky undoubtedly marked them as extraordinary individuals. Perhaps they were disciples sent by powerful sects who had heard of the hardships faced by the people in this region and came to their rescue.
It was said that the disciples of those sects could fly through the sky in the blink of an eye, demonstrating terrifying abilities.
At this moment, even the witch priestess observed Ye Hua and his group. They appeared ordinary and didn’t emit any signs of martial energy, which was quite strange for people descending from the sky.
“Who are you? How dare you ruin my plans!” the witch priestess shouted, her voice filled with vigilance.
Ye Hua ignored her and calmly said, “Li Hun, restore these monsters.”
“Yes!” Lihun gently waved her slender hand, and a pink-red mist enveloped the hundred monsters.
The monsters gradually regained their senses. Initially, they had clearly been under the control of the witch priestess.
As the monsters regained their rationality, they looked around curiously, wondering what they were doing. Among these monsters, Ye Hua noticed the presence of the undead. He remembered being in a similar state in the past. Without effort, they would become tools for others and never achieve their own accomplishments.
As an undead, how could one be subject to fate without striving? Without putting in the effort, one would never know the extent of their potential.
The witch priestess observed Li Hun effortlessly releasing her control and felt a sense of oppression. Judging from this display, this woman’s strength was comparable to her own. If all these individuals possessed such power, she would be in trouble today!
But what if they were bluffing? Simply tricking her into leaving?
“I am a first-ranked fighter. Who are you people?” The witch priestess revealed her own strength, hoping to scare off the opposition.
In the Cangluo Continent, there was a division of strength levels: Fighter, Warrior, Master, Grandmaster, King, Emperor, Order, God, Venerable, and Heavenly Venerable. Each level had ten grades, with the peak being the ultimate achievement.
Of course, there were also those with exceptional talents who reached the level of the Heavenly Dao!
During the promotion to Warrior, every sect would uncover a strong fighter of the Heavenly Dao, becoming a Heavenly Dao Warrior!
Heavenly Dao Warriors were incomparable to ordinary warriors of the same rank and even had the ability to fight beyond their level. Becoming a Heavenly Dao Fighter would undoubtedly make them famous throughout the Cangluo Continent.
Many sects were willing to provide resources to Heavenly Dao Fighters, and the future rewards were immense.
In summary, Heavenly Dao powerhouses were highly sought after in the Cangluo Continent.
Ye Hua had killed many Heavenly Dao powerhouses, but he had yet to encounter a Heavenly Dao Venerable. Attaining such a level required not only time but also an abundance of resources.
It was like playing a game—the experience required to level up in the Heavenly Dao was a hundred times that of ordinary cultivators. Moreover, during the promotion, many materials were needed, and even a higher-level Heavenly Dao Soul was required for breakthroughs. Heavenly Dao individuals were already scarce to begin with.
Thus, in the Cangluo Continent, Heavenly Dao Emperors had never appeared, let alone Heavenly Dao Venerables.
As for Ye Hua’s four children, they were undoubtedly Heavenly Dao powerhouses. At least, Ah Li had reached the strength of a Heavenly Dao Order, while Ye Yan, Ye Shen, and Ye Liu were at the level of Heavenly Dao Kings.
They don’t need any advanced items. With age, their strength will naturally increase. That’s the advantage of being the children of the Supreme Overlord. So, it can be said that children like Ah Li have already won at the starting line, disregarding any reason.
However, this witch priestess is just an ordinary cultivator. She doesn’t have access to the abundant resources of a sect. It’s already good enough for her to cultivate to the level of a fighter.
But her cultivation path is extremely wicked and destined to be a dead end.
Ye Hua casually glanced at the witch priestess. A fighter?
How insignificant.
“Who am I? Hmph! I am someone you can’t afford to provoke!” Ye Hua didn’t refer to himself as his true identity, clearly hiding his intentions.
“Haha! Arrogant child, you look quite good. You’re suitable to be my medicine and all you men here,” the witch priestess looked at Ye Hua’s group, having no interest in women but many thoughts about the men.
“Alright, then I’ll give you one. Cang Konghong! It’s up to you!” Ye Hua said indifferently.
The sole purpose of summoning Cang Konghong was to let out some pent-up emotions. Some things couldn’t be suppressed and needed to be vented.
This witch priestess happened to be a woman who liked to toy with men, making her the perfect target for Cang Konghong’s revenge.
The true self didn’t say that Yue Hua enjoyed playing with men. It was just that Cang Konghong needed an outlet for release.
“Yes!” Cang Konghong responded in a deep voice and stepped forward from the group.
Cang Konghong, standing at two metres tall, appeared like a small mountain, especially with his explosive muscles. For women who liked muscular men, he was a deadly attraction.
The old men standing on the wooden wall looked worried when they saw this burly man. They knew the witch priestess was skilled at seducing men, so they thought it would be better to fight together and defeat her.
