Chapter 5442 of the Dragon Emperor’s Order: Strength is Everything
“As I thought… strength is everything,”
David muttered to himself.
The warship slowly entered the passageway, followed by three hundred golden-armored guards, advancing majestically towards the Sixth Heaven.
The golden warship glided steadily through the void passageway, its chaotic currents on both sides cushioned by the divine aura radiating from the warship, making it impervious to the slightest tremor.
David leaned against the railing, his gaze sweeping over the golden-armored guards standing in a row on the deck, finally settling on the four figures flanking Ling Xi at the bow.
They were all clad in dark golden armor, their golden helmets covering most of their faces, revealing only a pair of calm and sharp eyes.
Unlike the other golden-armored guards, whose divine aura radiated from them, these four possessed a restrained aura, like four silent mountains. Although they seemed close, they conveyed a sense of oppression from thousands of miles away.
David repeatedly channeled his divine sense to investigate, but only found their auras unfathomable, as if a single touch would unleash a devastating wave.
“Miss Yunxiu, the four guards beside the Fourth Palace Master seem different from the other golden-armored guards?”
David finally couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked Yunxiu, who was standing beside him.
Yunxiu followed his gaze and said with a hint of admiration, “They are the Fourth Palace Master’s personal guards, called the ‘Divine Guards of the Four Directions.’ They are not ordinary golden-armored guards, they are guards personally selected by the Divine King for the Fourth Palace Master. Each of them has a cultivation level of the fifth level of the Human Immortal Realm and is proficient in the art of combined attacks. The four of them can even match those of the sixth level of the Human Immortal Realm.”
David was shocked. Fifth level of the Human Immortal Realm?
Such strength was already legendary in Sixth Heaven. You know, Wu Hao is only at the second level of the Human Immortal Realm now. I didn’t expect him to be just Lingxi’s personal guard.
He increasingly understood Lingxi’s sincerity in sending troops, and he also increasingly realized the gap in strength between the Eighth Heaven and the Sixth Heaven.
At that moment, a dense demonic aura suddenly radiated from the passageway in front of the warship, accompanied by a loud roar: “How dare you, you bastard, enter the Sixth Heaven! By the orders of the Master, anyone who enters this area will be killed without mercy!”
A dark figure broke through the dim light at the exit of the passageway, wielding a giant axe and shrouded in swirling demonic aura. He was one of the Soul Devouring demon generals.
He had just broken free from the seal and was ordered to guard the Void Corridor. Seeing the golden warship approaching, he attacked indiscriminately.
David was about to draw his sword, but Lingxi didn’t even lift an eyelid, still staring at the scene at the bow, as if the demon general before her was nothing but an ant.
“How dare you!”
a cold voice rang out from one of the four divine guards. Before he could finish his words, the guard disappeared from his spot.
Everyone felt a flash of golden light. In the next instant, before the demon general’s axe could strike, his head flew into the air, black blood splattering into the void, instantly purified by the spiritual light of the passageway.
The entire process took an instant, and the demon general, a first-rank immortal, didn’t even have the strength
to resist. The golden-armored guards on the deck remained expressionless, as if they had just stepped on a mosquito. Only David’s pupils shrank slightly, feeling the shock of absolute power.
The divine guards returned to their positions, motionless, as if they had never attacked.
Ling Xi then said softly, “Silence!”
The warship passed through the passageway’s exit, revealing the dim sky of Sixth Heaven. A dense demonic aura filled the air, a stark contrast to the divine aura of the warship.
Under Ling Xi’s guidance, the warship sped toward the snowy mountains, soon arriving at a hidden cave.
Outside the cave, Wu Hao, Ling Yue, Zi Yuan, and the others waited anxiously. From a distance, they saw the golden warship streaking through the sky, all with expressions of shock and suspicion.
When they saw David standing at the bow waving at them, they were happy at first, but then they were stunned by the power of the battleship and the guards in golden armor on the deck, leaving them speechless.
