Chapter 3790: Insufficient Luck

"Perhaps it requires a sudden enlightenment?" the Clone Puppet guessed.

Ye Liuyun also thought this was possible.

"Then we won't know how long we have to wait!"

Sudden enlightenment isn't something he can achieve at will; it depends on opportunity. Moreover, attaining it during battle is dangerous for him. Yet if it's not dangerous, the chance for enlightenment won't arise.

He shook his head, sheathed his sword, and stayed by the Magic Vine to act as Protector for the Monster Beasts.

The painter and Poison Soul at the rear also blocked many fleeing Imperial Guard, and Gu Changhong and the others all reaped abundant gains.

In this battle, the Imperial Guard suffered a crushing defeat; fewer than fifty thousand managed to retreat, and many of the remaining soldiers were captured. The central dynasty now has no troops left to dispatch.

After Wang Tianqi fled back, his face was sullen, he said not a word, and no one dared to touch his bad luck.

He had lost an arm; without asking, everyone knew he had taken a heavy loss. Moreover, everyone could see that the Golden Light on Wang Tianqi had dimmed considerably.

His current luck now only suffices to keep his strength at Dòngtiān Bājiǔchóng, and he cannot even unleash the power of Hédào Jìngjiè, so he is not far from becoming obsolete.

He ripped off the time aura from his body, drew a long sword, and in a few strokes shattered it.

This time he used the time aura twice, yet it failed both times. The first was when Zhan Kong's slash struck him; he felt danger, but the time aura only flashed, did not halt time, causing him to receive a cut.

The second time, Ye Liuyun shot a Technique at him, and the result was the same: the time aura failed again.

In truth, he knew inside that Zhan Kong's Divine Soul Power was stronger than his, causing the time aura to fail. Yet he still blamed his failure on the time aura.

"You useless thing, you never activate! What good are you!" he cursed while hacking.

In fact, when he fled, Ye Liuyun had considered using Time Power, but seeing that Wang Tianqi still had plenty of luck and Golden Light, he thought it wasn't yet time to kill him. Even if used, it might not guarantee a killing blow, so he let him go.

In truth, he hadn't even realized Wang Tianqi possessed a time aura; it was Zhan Kong's presence that happened to break Wang Tianqi's time aura.

After Wang Tianqi shattered the time aura, his inner anger eased a bit, and he summoned the Imperial Physician to see if the broken arm could be treated, and also required detoxification.

The poison from Poison Soul, though not lethal, still needed to be suppressed by his luck.

"Damn Ye Liuyun, why is he so hard to kill!"

He cursed Ye Liuyun in his heart, and also had Bai Yunmu summoned.

"How are the monster world passages in the other regions?" he asked, wanting to see how much damage those passages would cause while Ye Liuyun focused his main effort on the battlefield.

"Reporting to the God King, we have received news that within the Western Region, Southern Region, and Northern Region passages, no monsters have emerged. Eastern monsters have already surged out in three waves, causing panic among the populace.

Currently, Eastern Martial Cultivators are organizing to kill the monsters, but already over a hundred demons have broken out of the passage..."

Wang Tianqi abruptly cut him off. He didn't care about the Eastern situation; he only wanted to know why the other regions were fine.

"Why didn't monsters surge out of the other regions?" he roared, asking Bai Yunmu.

Bai Yunmu could only explain helplessly: "We haven't identified the cause yet. All those passage entrances are guarded by soldiers; our people can't get close..."

"A bunch of useless! Let them investigate quickly; if they can't find anything, just finish them off themselves. What's the point of keeping these useless!" Wang Tianqi, with a pent‑up fury, felt everything went wrong because his subordinates were so incompetent.

"Yes!" Bai Yunmu, knowing he was in a rage, dared not retort, replied affirmatively and hurried away, not daring to get too close to him at this moment.

At this moment, the Imperial Physician also rushed over. Detoxification was relatively simple, but to regenerate the arm, they needed to cut away another layer of Wang Tianqi's arm, removing the part eroded by the Technique, so Wang Tianqi could use his luck to let the arm grow again.

the power of his luck, allowing the arm to regrow.

"Hurry up!"

Wang Tianqi urged with a single word, silently endured the pain, and watched the Imperial Physician act...

He opened a passage to the monster world, dispatched five hundred thousand Imperial Guard, and even risked acting personally; if this still couldn't defeat Ye Liuyun, he would have no Trump Card left.

Especially now that his luck is so weak, even a desperate defense of the Royal Palace is already untenable.

The Imperial Guard's defeat was certain; he had already spotted the omen, and the Southern border was sure to fall. At this moment he was already contemplating how to leave himself an escape route after a total collapse.

"Report: the Imperial Guard has been completely annihilated, the Western border has fallen..."

At that moment, a guard entered to report the frontline situation.

"Get out!" Wang Tianqi roared. The guard, before finishing his sentence, was immediately shouted away.

The rest of his sentence was that the Southern border had also fallen; the five hundred thousand troops transferred from the Eastern side were immediately met with a frontal assault by the Demon Race army, and now they have largely become the Demon Race's food and cultivation resources.

Moreover, on the Western battlefield, Yu Xiaofeng personally led two hundred thousand troops, already advancing directly toward the next Xingqiu. The Iron Army, with three hundred thousand troops in the fight, is resting.

"Report: the Eastern Royal City has been seized by demons, and the Eastern Heavenly King is calling for aid."

"Report: the Northern region has dispatched two hundred thousand troops to my border..."

"Get out, all of you!"

Wang Tianqi could no longer contain himself; he waved his hand and slapped a palm at the two reporting guards, blasting them out of the Grand Hall. One was killed on the spot, the other severely wounded.

The guards all wore helpless expressions; if they didn't report, they'd fear his future blame for concealing critical military information. If they reported, with Wang Tianqi in a rage, anyone who went would be courting death.

Wang Tianqi's luck was still steadily slipping. It wasn't just the consumption from healing; his authority was also continuously eroding.

The Eastern region's loss of control and the three border lines' collapse all signify that his royal authority has further weakened.

On Ye Liuyun's side, the Demon Race army has been halted in place, prevented from further slaughter.

He also assigned a task to Hei Shan: "You have gathered ample resources; return to the Royal City to garrison, guard the monster world passage entrance, use the resources promptly, strengthen your strength, and prepare to battle those monsters."

At the Northern border, Wang Wenli personally led Ye Ying to act, assassinating the defending army's Leader; then Pei Yong led the Death Legion reserves in a surprise attack, easily repelling the defenders and breaking through the Northern border.

Afterwards, Pei Yong led his troops to rendezvous with Yu Xiaofeng, assisting Yu Xiaofeng with post‑siege cleanup.

Meanwhile, at the moment the borders were breached, all the central dynasty's merchant guilds evacuated urgently. This was Ye Liuyun's method of informing the Li Family to avoid losses.

Wang Tianqi had gone mad, even daring to release monsters; there's no guarantee he won't attack the merchant guilds and seize all the resources.

Thus, Ye Liuyun's actions were also preemptive. Moreover, cutting off the central dynasty's material supply can make it collapse even faster. Recently the transcoding has been severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates; please take a moment to exit reading mode. Thank you.
