I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 157 Easily Slaying, Faith Spirit
This...this...this is heavenly soldiers and generals descending?!

Seeing the illusory figures on the ranks of the Salvation Army, Cui Jia and the others were stunned and speechless for a moment before they realized what was happening.

Did our piety finally move the heavenly soldiers and generals, so they descended to save us?
Overwhelmed by both sorrow and joy, everyone felt an urge to burst into tears.

However, they forced themselves to hold back and instead prayed even more devoutly.

As they prayed devoutly, vast amounts of spiritual power and boundless energy from heaven and earth began to surge rapidly toward the phantoms on the pedestal, causing those phantoms to solidify quickly and form their physical bodies in reality.

Finally, the solidity of those celestial soldiers and generals reached a limit, and they could no longer advance further.

They looked at their still somewhat illusory bodies and a look of understanding appeared on their faces.

This is because the divine power of the heavenly soldiers descending is still only a rudimentary form of divine power. Not only can they descend at will, but even their bodies after descending cannot be fully solidified.

I could vaguely sense that my physical strength was about 50% of what it was when I was in the Celestial Realm.

Hmm, that should be enough.

They glanced at the almost transparent, illusory water ghosts outside the main hall and nodded confidently.

With one step, everyone stepped down from the offering table and came to stand behind Cui Jia and the others.

Yes, they do want to descend upon Cui Jia and the others.

However, Cui Jia and the others were too close to the offering table; there was simply no place for them to stand.

Helpless, they could only descend behind Cui Jia and the others.

However, this made it easier for them to deal with the water ghosts outside the door.

Um.
Everyone turned around and glanced at Cui Jia and the others.

What do they want to say?

"."

Everyone opened their mouths, but ultimately remained silent.

Let's forget about it. They're just newly appointed heavenly soldiers. They really don't know how heavenly soldiers should act or what tone they should use to communicate with mortals.

Since that's the case, they won't say anything more and will just focus on completing their mission of descending to the mortal realm.

"Hey, you audacious water ghost, how dare you take a life!"

The celestial soldier closest to the door suddenly shouted and then conjured a standard weapon of the People's Salvation Army with a wave of his hand.

Yes, this is what they had when they died.

Perhaps influenced by their obsessions, after their death, their souls will wear and carry the clothes and weapons they were wearing at the time of their death.

However, this is not entirely unchangeable. They can also gradually transform and change their possessions through their own will or innate status.

Ultimately, the clothes and weapons they wore were merely deep impressions and obsessions from their final moments, manifestations of their own soul power, and thus could be changed at will.

The difficulty lies in suppressing, and even transforming, the obsessive thoughts one holds before death.

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to make any special changes.

Essentially, whether they use weapons or engage in direct physical attacks, it is a confrontation of spiritual power.

However, after becoming a celestial soldier, one needs to use the celestial soldier rank to condense celestial soldier armor and celestial soldier weapons.

Once the Heavenly Soldier Armor and Heavenly Soldier Weapons have truly condensed and evolved, it will not be easy to change them.

This is because it is evolved through the power of the Heavenly Soldier's position, fused with the power of one's own soul, and is no longer a simple manifestation of soul power.

Therefore, if you want to change the form again, you need to change the power of the Heavenly Soldier's position and upgrade the level of the Heavenly Soldier's position.

Of course, none of them have yet condensed the Heavenly Soldier Armor or Heavenly Soldier Weapons.

After all, they are only just beginning to evolve into celestial soldiers and are not yet true celestial soldiers, so they naturally do not have time to condense and evolve celestial soldier armor and celestial soldier weapons.

If they could draw upon even a trace of the power of a Heavenly Soldier, they could also unleash a portion of the power of a Heavenly Soldier weapon.

"kill!"

After conjuring the celestial weapon, the celestial soldier let out a loud shout and slashed directly at a water ghost rushing towards the main hall's gate.

"Om~!"

The long sword sliced ​​through the air silently; its power was spiritual, and without deliberate interference, it naturally wouldn't affect the physical world.

However, when his longsword struck the water ghost, the clash between the different spiritual forces instantly erupted with a buzzing sound.

However, in the next instant, the long sword in the heavenly soldier's hand sliced ​​through the water ghost's body like a hot knife through butter, splitting it in two.

Furthermore, the power carried by the longsword erupted instantly, engulfing the water ghost's body and dissolving it in an instant.

The celestial soldiers' own soul power was naturally insufficient to accomplish these things.

The souls of the heavenly soldiers, after being baptized by the divine status, are stronger than the water ghosts, but there is no fundamental difference between them, and they are absolutely unable to cause an instant kill.

However, the Heavenly Soldier Rank power added to the longsword is essentially an extension of the dynasty's power.

Even if dynasties classified the power of the heavenly beings into different levels, the strength and power of each level would vary.

Heavenly soldiers are essentially just soldiers in rank.

Within the power structure of the dynasties, it was neither the lowest nor the highest.

It is actually no different from a king of soldiers. It is one level lower than a sixth-rank military officer, and is considered to be a seventh-rank official.

However, at this moment, its power level is absolutely among the top.

Don't forget, the King of Soldiers and Heavenly Soldiers are capable of mastering fourth-level divine abilities. If we're really comparing them, that would be the current Longevity Realm of the Dynasty.

Although supernatural powers are merely techniques and are completely different from the fundamental realm of the Dao, if the dynasty only uses its internal true essence, it is actually equivalent to a level four supernatural power.

Therefore, the Heavenly Soldiers themselves are not strong, but the power of their rank is the pinnacle of this world.

Even though the power was diluted, it was still something the water ghost could not withstand, and it was naturally killed and obliterated instantly.

After easily killing the water ghosts, the heavenly soldiers were quite surprised, not expecting these water ghosts to be so weak.

However, they soon realized that it might not be that these water ghosts were weak, but rather that they were too powerful as heavenly soldiers.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they instantly rushed towards the group of water ghosts.

"kill!"

"Kill! Heavenly soldiers, subdue demons, vanquish monsters and annihilate ghosts!"

kill! "

"To relieve calamity and save the people! Kill!"

The blade flashed like water, instantly covering the courtyard, and the countless water ghosts that rushed in were all killed in an instant.

Meanwhile, Cui Jia and the others, who were still kneeling and bowing, turned around to look behind them after hearing the voice.

Then they saw that the water ghosts, who could have easily killed them, were now like lambs to the slaughter, easily killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals who had transformed from the People's Salvation Army.

When they came to their senses, the courtyard was completely empty, leaving them dumbfounded and secretly marveling at the strength of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Just as they were sighing inwardly, the group of heavenly soldiers, sensing their own condition, exchanged glances and sighed helplessly.

In just a short while, their time in the human world had come to an end.

It's impossible for me to see the world again, to see my family members who are still alive, and even my former comrades-in-arms, for the time being.

Since that's the case, there's no need for them to stay any longer. They once again activated their Heavenly Soldiers Descend Divine Power to sense the Heavenly Soldiers' camp.

In an instant, red divine light flashed on everyone's bodies, and they suddenly turned into a point of light, which then exploded with a bang, turning into a shower of crystalline light and dissipating.

The truth is that everyone's souls were swept up by the Heavenly Soldier's position and, using spiritual power as a medium, instantly returned to the Heavenly Soldier Camp within the Dynasty's consciousness space.

The energy of heaven and earth that gathered when they descended dissipated after losing the restraint of their soul power, thus forming those patches of crystalline light rain.

"They're leaving already?"

As everyone gazed at the dazzling, shimmering rain of light, they couldn't help but murmur aloud.

"Yes, they're gone! Those heavenly soldiers and generals have returned to heaven."

"Yes, believer Cui Jia thanks all the heavenly soldiers and generals for saving my life. After I return, I will surely offer incense every day."

Coming to his senses, Cui Jia suddenly turned around, kowtowed heavily to the ground, and murmured a prayer.

From this moment on, he is a celestial soldier and general, a loyal follower of the Heavenly Emperor.

Seeing this, the others also came to the offering table, bowed and thanked the altar, and said that they would continue to offer incense and prayers after returning home.

After a while, everyone got up and found a place to sit down.

Although those water ghosts seemed to have been all killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals.

However, the group showed no intention of leaving the Martyrs' Shrine and heading towards Qinzhou City, for who knew if they might encounter other vengeful ghosts along the way?

They had already made up their minds that they would never walk at night again, and would instead seek out the Martyrs' Shrine to stay overnight.

They now feel that there is no safer place in the world than the Martyrs' Shrine, a place protected by heavenly soldiers and generals.

After glancing at Cui Jia and the others who were slumped in various parts of the main hall, Wang Chao turned his attention to the dead water ghosts.

After the water ghosts died, they transformed into a vast amount of spiritual power, which was gradually eroded and assimilated by the spiritual energy. The Wang Chao read out their consciousness information one by one.

Although it was badly damaged, it still allowed him to figure out the general outline.

These water ghosts were indeed the souls of Ming soldiers who died. After the ascension of heaven and earth, they merged with rich energy from heaven and earth, thus forming these special ghosts.

At this point, they cannot be called water ghosts, but only special kinds of ghosts.

They share similarities with legendary ghosts, but are largely different.

They are merely the remnants of the souls of Ming soldiers after their deaths and the dissipation of their consciousness, aggregates of spiritual power derived from the dissipation of other souls and even the spiritual power of all living beings.

They are less like the ghosts of legend and more like the spiritual beings of faith that are the embodiment of the imagination of all living beings.

If no living beings know about them, they will naturally disappear after a period of time.

After these spirits of faith and special ghosts were formed, they were once again influenced by Cui Jia and others' impressions and imaginations about water ghosts, and began to change again. They became unable to leave the water source of their place of death, which is how the final water ghost was formed.

The time was too short, and the influence exerted by Cui Jia and the others was too small. It only made these newly born water ghosts less willing to go ashore and slowed down their movement speed on the shore.

Otherwise, Cui Jia and the others would have actually escaped when they left the bridge.

After thoroughly investigating the formation of the water ghost, Wang Chao's heart stirred, and his consciousness instantly descended into the Wei River.

Looking at the surging Wei River in front of him, Wang Chao had a thought, and his spiritual consciousness, along with his spiritual power, submerged underwater.

Under normal circumstances, naturally flowing spiritual energy will not enter the interior of the material layer.

Because that would consume extra resources, and the dynasty would not accept it.

However, when actively controlled, it can enter the interior of the material layer, but it will consume energy.

However, at this moment, in order to further investigate those water ghosts, the slight expenditure of power is worthwhile.
