Chapter 600 -381: The Ancestor Is Here! The Ancestor Is Dead!
Three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards.
Like an unstoppable force.
It only took three days.
To see Gu Shengan leading the Divine Martial Imperial Guards to the gates of Xiao Mountain City.
Its terrain is treacherous.
Surrounded by cliffs and precipices on all sides, only the front offers escape, causing Xiao Mountain City to seem as though it stands atop a lonely mountain peak, overlooking the vast earth.
Xiao Mountain City’s geographic position is extremely dangerous, combined with the Xiao Family’s strict defense, no cultivators dare tread within Xiao Mountain City without permission.
Although cultivators of the Divine Transformation Realm can walk on air, the Xiao Family is prepared for this.
The hundred-mile void of Xiao Mountain City is protected by top-tier arrays, rendering it difficult even for Saints who communicate with heaven and earth to truly walk on air.
It’s for these reasons that Xiao Mountain City, as the ancestral land of the Xiao Family, remains standing.
The Xiao Family has repelled countless external foes using Xiao Mountain City, securing much vitality for themselves.
Even when a Quasi Emperor arrived in the past, slaying many ancient Saint Kings of the Xiao Family, the Xiao Family, using their foundation, managed to drive him back with Xiao Mountain City.
Despite such defenses.
The Divine Martial Imperial Guards took only three days to reach the front of Xiao Mountain City.
It was merely one two-hour segment.
The majority of the time, the Divine Martial Imperial Guards were simply traveling, reaching within a hundred-mile radius of Xiao Mountain City just an hour ago.
But one two-hour segment later.
The army had already arrived in front of Xiao Mountain City.
The faces of the Xiao Family’s high-ranking members looked grim, the aura emitted by the three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards below made them secretly nervous.
“This is the Divine Martial Imperial Guard… The weakest cultivation is entering the Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm!!”
Xiao Xuan took a deep breath, his heart also secretly shaken.
The Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm!
In front of the Xiao Family, this naturally means nothing.
As an ancient Noble Family, the Xiao Family’s foundation is exceptionally strong.
Even though the Xiao Family may have declined somewhat, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
Is still not to be underestimated.
Even the Xiao Family.
Cannot possibly muster three million soldiers all at the weakest level of the Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm.
In today’s End of Dharma Era, any cultivator of the Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm can be considered outstanding.
Even within the Xiao Family, cultivators at this level don’t hold low positions.
The Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Is merely the weakest existence among the Divine Martial Forbidden Army.
Within such a Forbidden Army, Xiao Xuan discovered no fewer than five thousand cultivators of the Tiaoist Palace Realm.
It’s difficult to imagine.
Such a power existing in an Imperial Dynasty less than a century old.
The surrounding elders of the Xiao Family are also now deeply shocked.
“Three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards!”
“The weakest cultivation is the Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm… How does the Divine Martial Dynasty have such a foundation!!”
“It’s said that someone from the Gu Family once slew four Demon Emperors, then used the inner cores of the Demon Emperors to aid the cultivation of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s soldiers, which led to the emergence of the three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards!”
As the elders were shocked, someone revealed a secret, causing the elders to gasp.
Demon Emperor Inner Core!
That’s a presence that can rival a Quasi Emperor.
The reason why the Xiao Family persists to this day is because, in ancient times, the Xiao Family once produced a Quasi Emperor.
Even though that Quasi Emperor fell, his blessings and legacy continued to protect the Xiao Family for millions of years.
How terrifying a Quasi Emperor truly is.
Now that the Divine Martial Dynasty uses Demon Emperor Inner Core as an impetus, directly enhancing the strength of their army, the emergence of three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards becomes reasonable.
After all, no matter how strong a Nine Layers cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm may be, before a Quasi Emperor, they are no different from ants.
To suppress and kill them, the latter may only need to use a single glance.
Such a powerful inner core is naturally extraordinary.
Xiao Xuan took a deep breath and sternly said, “No need for panic, everyone. Though the three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards are formidable, my Xiao Family is not made of clay.
Today, even if the Xiao Family must expend all its foundation, we will not allow the Divine Martial Imperial Guards to take a single step into Xiao Mountain City!”
Xiao Xuan’s words were firm and reassuring to the hearts of the Xiao Family members.
Xiao Xuan looked toward the army below, his gaze fixed on the leading Gu Shengan.
“The Xiao Family has never been enemies with the Divine Martial Dynasty. I do not know what Military Commander Gu intends by leading the army here today?”
“Hmph, the Xiao Family has drawn together many forces to establish the Anti-God Alliance. Does this not count as opposing my Divine Martial Dynasty?”
Gu Shengan immediately sneered, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Xiao Xuan.
“Today, I lead this army with only one goal, that is to level Xiao Mountain City!”
Xiao Xuan fiercely retorted.
“The Xiao Family has always claimed not to contend with the outside world, yet now the Divine Martial Dynasty intends to invade the three provinces, suppressing us Noble Family Sects. Can it be that the Xiao Family cannot resist!? ”
“Now, with Evil Spirits causing chaos, Demons invading, the Human Clan is at the brink of survival.”
“As the Imperial Dynasty of the Human Clan, the Divine Martial Dynasty rashly initiates a great calamity, disregarding the survival of the Human Clan. If such actions spread, it may surely lead to the Human Clan’s crusade.
If Military Commander Gu leads the army to retreat now, I shall consider that nothing has happened!”
Xiao Xuan spoke with righteousness and justice, as if the Divine Martial Dynasty moving against the Xiao Family would destroy harmony within the Human Clan, an act that both people and gods will condemn.
Gu Shengan’s expression remained cold from beginning to end.
“Throughout history, victor and vanquished have always been the rule; the Xiao Family should be well aware of this. So-called Human Clan righteousness, is merely the size of one’s fists.
