Chapter 655: Total Annihilation

Mo Family Ancestor forged Golden Armored War Puppets, using materials of the highest quality.

The material is insufficient; how could the war puppet possess power comparable to the Divine Realm?

The God-Beating Whip blazed with light; a gold-valued puppet inside its inner small-world space rapidly melted and disintegrated, the whip's essence rose a notch, its power increased somewhat, and more importantly, its weight also increased somewhat.

Without Wu Tie's mana infusion, the oppressive force now released by the God-Beating Whip has increased by about one percent.

In the fierce battle, that mere one percent of pressure caused a thousand Bronze Armored War Puppets to reach their limit instantly. One heard the constant 'crack' of shattering, as one puppet after another cracked open with spiderweb-like fissures.

In the span of a breath, the thousand Bronze Armored War Puppets shattered; the God-Beating Whip's light flickered, and it swallowed all the fragments in one gulp.

Most of the material in these Bronze Armored War Puppets is merely ordinary; otherwise they would not need a thousand of them arrayed in formation to exert power comparable to the Divine Realm.

Even though the material is 'ordinary', it is all top-grade, suitable for forging Ninefold Refined Immortal Weapons or even Heavenly Dao Divine Weapons. The advantage lies in the thousand puppets being numerous enough; after the God-Beating Whip swallowed them, its essence rose another notch, and its weight increased greatly.

Especially, the intricate formation that the Mo Family Ancestor inscribed among these thousand Bronze Armored War Puppets—through which their combined power manifests Divine Realm might—was also swallowed whole by the God-Beating Whip.

Dao patterns flowed within the God-Beating Whip; the connections between each rune became more mysterious and tight. Without Wu Tie needing to spur it further, he has begun his own devouring evolution, gaining many benefits from this formation.

Wu Tie was struck by two Golden Armored War Puppets, his body resounding with loud 'boom-boom' impacts; he laughed loudly and threw a punch straight at one of the Golden Armored War Puppets.

The God-Beating Whip rolled up clouds and mist, soaring into the sky, then heavily smashed down upon the thirty-six Silver Armored War Puppets suppressed by the Five Elements Divine Light.

Just one strike, and the Silver Armored War Puppets, already strained for breath by the Five Elements Divine Light, cracked open with deadly fissures; as the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike collapses from an ant hole—once these fissures appeared, the puppets were on the brink of collapse.

Within the Five Elements Divine Light, the black-and-white yin-yang spiritual light flickered, and Wu Tie gave these Silver Armored War Puppets an extra push.

The thirty-six Silver Armored War Puppets collapsed completely.

The God-Beating Whip gulped down the Silver Armored War Puppets, its aura grew stronger again; the freed Five Elements Divine Light resembled a heavenly river waterfall pouring downward, howling with 'rumble-rumble', shaking the void as it swept toward the small city beneath the Mo Family Ancestor's feet.

The Mo Family Ancestor screamed hysterically.

Around him, the heavy shields—numbering in the hundreds of thousands—were swept clean by the Five Elements Divine Light.

Li Guang, having long stored his power, shot a golden arrow formed from his left little finger; a golden streak flew straight for the Mo Family Ancestor's brow.

Zhao Xiang's lightning in his hand suddenly transformed into four lightning fangs each stretching a thousand miles, accompanied by deafening thunderclaps, tracing four beautiful arcs that descended upon the Mo Family Ancestor at the center.

Wu Tie, with the God-Beating Whip already soaring to high altitude, punched a Golden Armored War Puppet back dozens of steps; he then swung his left hand fiercely downward, instantly evaporating ninety percent of the mana within his Divine Fetus, and, accompanied by three drops of his essence blood from his fingertips, transformed into a blood rainbow that poured into the God-Beating Whip.

The God-Beating Whip's light suddenly retracted; the purple gold radiance that had illuminated thousands of miles vanished in an instant, leaving only a zhang-long God-Beating Whip that fell straight down from the sky, striking the Mo Family Ancestor's head without a glimmer of light or a sound.

The God-Beating Whip is infinitely marvelous; Li Guang's finger-arrow and Zhao Xiang's tooth-lightning both launched before Wu Tie's move, yet each struck the Mo Family Ancestor a beat after the God-Beating Whip.

The Mo Family Ancestor roared in frustration; his expertise lay in mechanical war puppets, and he was actually not skilled in melee combat or various divine arts. The Mo Family Ancestor, and indeed the entire Mo Family, could be called a 'state's heavy weapon', yet they ought not to appear on the battlefield.

Because of the Mo Family Ancestor and the Mo Family's connection, the giant divine warriors manufactured by the Great Wei Divine State are far stronger than those of the former Great Jin Divine State and the present Great Wu Divine State, occasionally producing elite giant divine warriors whose power rivals the Half-Step Divine Realm.

Precisely for this reason, with civilization flourishing, the civil and military courts of the somewhat weak Great Wei are able to stand firm amidst the Three Kingdoms.

The Mo Family Ancestor really ought not to be on the battlefield.

In fact, over these many years, aside from entering the Three Kingdoms battlefield for training in his youth, after attaining the Divine Realm the Mo Family Ancestor has basically never engaged in direct combat with others.

You let a 'refined and cultured' 'Grand Master Artisan' face off against a group of professionals who have slaughtered on the battlefield, drenched in blood, crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

The Great Wei Divine Emperor's brain is addled, the brains of many top clans of the Great Wei are addled, and the Mo Family Ancestor and numerous Mo Family members' brains are addled as well.

But, for the sake of dividing interests among the clans…

The Mo Family Ancestor, incredibly, has actually appeared on the Three Kingdoms battlefield!

The hundreds of thousands of heavy shields protecting him were swept away in an instant; the Mo Family Ancestor stood frozen in place, blankly staring at the God-Beating Whip descending from above, blankly staring at Li Guang's finger-arrow and Zhao Xiang's tooth-lightning.

Even at this life-and-death juncture, if you handed the Mo Family Ancestor a pile of parts, he could still, at top speed, assemble for you an exquisite, extraordinary machine.

Yet at this life-and-death juncture, you ask the Mo Family Ancestor to devise a way to escape, a way to resist the enemy…

This is not his specialty!

The God-Beating Whip fell heavily with a tremendous boom, and myriad sparks of fire erupted from the Mo Family Ancestor's crown.

The Mo Family Ancestor's close-fitting armor, the life-preserving spiritual treasure stored at the bottom of his chest, activated on its own and solidly clashed with the God-Beating Whip.

Just one blow, the life-preserving Innate Spiritual Weapon–level armor shattered, and the twelve self-activated Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon–level defensive secret treasures on his person were shaken to fragments by the whip.

The Mo Family Ancestor's body swayed, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fingertips struck, his skull pierced.

Tooth-lightning fell, his divine body shattered.

A pillar of light shot up into the sky; the divine spirits secretly watching from high above instantly let out a earth-shaking cheer.

The light-retracted God-Beating Whip swept sideways, striking two Golden Armored War Puppets with a single lash; the Mo Family Ancestor fell, and the puppets' movements jerked to a halt, flames spurting from beneath their feet as they prepared, per the Mo Family Ancestor's preset, to flee back to the Mo Family—until the whip utterly interrupted their motion.

The immense binding force transformed into visible Dao-pattern talismans, each palm-sized square seal completely forged by compressing heavenly-earthly primal energy; the heavy binding seals, ringing like bronze bells, were stamped onto the two Golden Armored War Puppets, instantly making their movements agonizingly slow.

Wu Tie's ten fingers trembled violently as he let out a low roar, forcibly tearing open the chest of a Golden Armored War Puppet and destroying its intricate, dazzlingly luminous components inside.

A flood of components spewed out; this Golden Armored War Puppet went completely rigid, and the God-Beating Whip, no longer needing Wu Tie's prompting, swallowed it whole.

Only one war puppet remained; Wu Tie, with the Five Elements Divine Light behind him rolling like a heavenly river, pressed and ground it—before the eyes of the Shangguan Ancestor and the Xu Family Ancestor—he forcibly crushed that Golden Armored War Puppet, possessing a Divine Realm–strong divine body and Divine Realm attack power, into a lump of shattered scrap copper and iron.

Although it was shattered scrap copper and iron, it was also scrap copper and iron flashing with glazed luster and radiant light in all directions.

Throwing the remnants of the Golden Armored War Puppet to the God-Beating Whip for consumption, Wu Tie snatched the Mo Family Ancestor's storage secret treasure, and with a sweep of the whip he also devoured the wonderful mechanical contraption city that the Mo Family Ancestor had flung out.

The God-Beating Whip trembled faintly as threads of spiritual light flowed through it, continually emitting scorching heat.

This was a great tonic feast.

Wu Tie brandished the now zhang-long God-Beating Whip, gazing at the Shangguan Ancestor and then at the Xu Family Ancestor.

The Shangguan Ancestor and Xu Family Ancestor only felt a chill in their backs, wondering how things could have turned out this way; logically, the Mo Family Ancestor should have easily withstood the encirclement of Wu Tie, Zhao Xiang, and Li Guang.

They should have been able to easily dispose of Xiang Feiyu and Xiang Feixie, then cooperate with the Mo Family Ancestor to slay the trio of Wu Tie.

It should have been them slaying Wu Tie and company on the spot… not the Mo Family Ancestor being beaten to death here by Wu Tie and his allies.

But Wu Tie's combat power… that freak's combat power.

The Shangguan Ancestor and Xu Family Ancestor saw clearly that the Five Elements Divine Light could easily strangle a Golden Armored War Puppet, so it could all the more easily strangle them.

After all, the Divine Realm ancestors of the Great Wei are ninety-nine percent those who entered the Way through magical arts and divine abilities; their divine bodies are far inferior to those Golden Armored War Puppets.

If Wu Tie can so easily dispatch a Golden Armored War Puppet, then they, within the Five Elements Divine Light, would certainly not last long.

But, this is not important, not important……

Shangguan Old Ancestor suddenly thought of something that almost made his soul fly out of the heavens——Mo Family Old Ancestor is the Grand Wei Divine Kingdom's Armory Supervisor, the Ancient Armory Bureau Workshop of the Grand Wei Divine Kingdom, the sole production place of the Grand Wei Divine Kingdom's Giant God Soldiers, completely under Mo Family Old Ancestor's control.

Mo Family Old Ancestor has controlled the Giant God Soldier Workshop for tens of thousands of years.

Mo Family Old Ancestor is a technology maniac; over tens of thousands of years, he has added layer upon layer of unknown numbers of formations and restrictions in the Giant God Soldier Workshop.

Throughout the Grand Wei, even if the Divine Emperor Xiahoud Luming wanted to enter the Giant God Soldier Workshop, he would have to obtain Mo Family Old Ancestor's consent.

And the control core of the entire Giant God Soldier Workshop, that life‑or‑death Main Control Talisman, is in Mo Family Old Ancestor's hands.

"Old Xu, old Xu……Primeval War Puppet, the Primeval War Puppet's workshop……" Shangguan Old Ancestor bellowed, his whole body icy cold: "Old Mo, he, he, the sole Main Control Talisman is in Old Mo's hands……"

Wu Tie played with several exquisitely crafted storage rings in his hand.

Shangguan Old Ancestor's loud roar drew his attention; Wu Tie instantly grinned, his vast soul power shattered the soul imprint left in the storage rings, after searching among piles of rare materials, Wu Tie found a palm‑sized token, not large, whose internal space was arranged with tens of thousands of formations and restrictions, its whole body ancient and heavy, faintly shrouded by thousands of layers of net‑like spiritual light.

"Old Master Shangguan, you mean this?" Wu Tie laughed especially brightly.

With this treasure……Wu Tie definitely has to make a trip to the Grand Wei Divine Kingdom's Ancient Armory Bureau Workshop.

"Put down the talisman, or else you will all perish here today." A furious roar came from afar; Xiahoud Zheng hurried over, anxiously bringing the remaining Grand Wei Divine Realm Old Ancestors.

They were merely a step late, just a step late, Mo Family Old Ancestor was actually slain on the spot.

Gazing far off at the pillar of light belonging to Mo Family Old Ancestor, Xiahoud Zheng felt his blood surge, blood seeping from his gums, his mouth full of the taste of blood.

Mo Family Old Ancestor……no description of his importance is excessive; this is a "State Heavy Weapon."

But just under Xiahoud Zheng's leadership, Mo Family Old Ancestor died in battle!

Xiahoud Zheng's vision kept going dark; he didn't know how to explain to Xiahoud Luming, didn't know how to explain to the Mo family, and even less how to explain to the many top clans of the Grand Wei Divine Kingdom.

Cao Clan Old Ancestor, Qin Clan Old Ancestor, Mo Family Old Ancestor……

Having just arrived at the Three Kingdoms Battlefield, the old ancestors brought by Xiahoud Zheng were, in a chaotic mess, three of them taken out.

Is it that the enemy is too ferocious?

Or are our own people too incompetent?

Xiahoud Zheng's eyes blood‑red, he hoarsely pointed fiercely at Wu Tie and the others: "Brother Shangguan, imprison them; today I will surely make them suffer a waning moon that cannot be made whole, make them endure a lifetime of bitter cultivation, and have all their efforts come to nothing."

Xiahoud Zheng, together with another six furious Divine Realm Old Ancestors, charged forward, joining Shangguan Old Ancestor and Xu Clan Old Ancestor; Xiahoud Zheng firmly believed that their nine people still had the ability and could definitely kill Wu Tie and his group.

Wu Tie and company are merely four Divine Realm Great Abilities, and a half‑step Divine Realm child.

Shangguan Old Ancestor let out a long howl, a spray of blood shot from his mouth, continuously pouring into the Grand Void Bracelet.

The Grand Void Bracelet blazed brightly, a clear circle rapidly spreading outward; in the snap of a finger it enveloped the swiftly approaching Xiahoud Zheng and the other seven Divine Realm Great Abilities. Under the Grand Void Bracelet's aid, Xiahoud Zheng and the others merely flickered and arrived beside Shangguan Old Ancestor.

The Grand Void Bracelet emitted a chilling light, originally covering a radius of a hundred li, suddenly expanding to a size of ten thousand li.

The Grand Void Bracelet's binding power suddenly increased severalfold; Wu Tie felt his whole body stiffen, unable to move. At the same time, the cold light emitted by the Grand Void Bracelet also shattered the invisibility divine ability of Linghu Buhuo and others hidden two thousand li away.

More than thirty Divine Realm Great Abilities from the Green Hill Divine Kingdom surrounded them from all sides!

Xiahoud Zheng, Shangguan Old Ancestor, and the others stared as dozens of enemy Divine Realm beings suddenly appeared from all directions, each dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long while.

Xiahoud Zheng suddenly shuddered, he hysterically roared at Shangguan Old Ancestor: "Shangguan……you, you, you, you tricked me!"

Shangguan Old Ancestor blankly stared at the enemy Divine Realm beings appearing from all directions; his body swayed, the spray of blood from his mouth abruptly cut off, and the Grand Void Bracelet gradually, bit by bit, shrank inward.

Linghu Buhuo smiled, then waved his hand forward.

"Kill!"

The cries of killing shook the heavens.

One pillar of light after another shot straight up into the sky.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour; in the end, Xiahoud Zheng was beheaded by Xiang Feiyu with an axe.

The Grand Wei Divine Kingdom entered the Three Kingdoms Battlefield, intending to take revenge on Wu Tie's twelve Divine Realm beings, and thus the entire army was annihilated.
