Chapter 606 The Sixth Will

As the ancient tortoise carrying Mount Crimson Sun descended upon the Bitter Realm, in the nearest Temple of Light, an ancient being sitting on a throne slowly opened his eyes.

Its body was human-like, dressed in black clothes that had a decaying feel to them. Its skin was like a metal plate covered with scratches, dark silver in color, with rust marks. Below its eyes, there was no mouth or nose, only two rows of 22 small, dark holes.

"There is an intruder."

The ancient being spoke in a deep voice, his fingers emerging from his loose black robe, as if pieced together from tiny diamonds, from which a streak of silver light flew.

The silver light flew into a bronze mirror, and the surface of the mirror rippled like water. Then, a four-armed giant with a pair of metal wings, seemingly made of brass, walked out from it.

The giant knelt on one knee beneath the black-robed man and said, "Great Lord Chenjin, what are your orders?"

"The invaders have attacked. Go and awaken the twelve gilded angels and the twenty-four mithril angels to intercept them outside the temple."

The man in black robes spoke in a deep voice, with a mysterious metallic tremor.

The bronze angel beneath him nodded in agreement, and then rose.

At that moment, atop Mount Chiyang, Zhou Nan sensed that the Emperor Sword had received some information from the void. He imprinted this information into a flying sword message card, then used the card, transforming it into a small sword that flew into the void.

Soon, the small sword tore through the void and appeared in front of Jian Jiujiu and the Duke of Zhenguo, who had already emerged from the body of the ancient god tortoise.

"Inside the hall is the sixth will of the second layer of deep space, named Lord Chenjin, a metallic life form at level 999. He commands one bronze angel at level 800, 12 gilded angels at level 700, and 24 mithril angels at level 600. All of them are metallic life forms. Please be careful."

Zhou Nan's voice came from the small sword.

"The Lord of Chenjin? Level 999!"

Zhenguo Gong Badas rolled his eyes and laughed, "The Ten Venerables are indeed like fish in water in this deep space. They already know the information about the enemy in the palace and even reported their level."

Jian Jiujiu bowed to the messenger sword and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Ten Venerable Ones."

After saying this, he continued to the Duke of Zhenguo and the others, saying, "The methods of the Ten Venerables are increasingly reminiscent of supreme divinity, and they are beginning to be unfathomable. The level he reported should be accurate. It seems this battle will be quite a fight!"

The Duke of Zhenguo said, "I possess a secret imperial treasure, which should be more than enough to deal with the Lord of Chenjin. As for his angels, I'll leave that to you all!"

"That's only right!"

Jian Jiujiu cupped his hands in greeting, then raised his arm and shouted, "Sword Immortals of Yunluo Mountain, heed my command! Soar through the air on your swords, form a sword formation, and charge with me!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

The group of sword immortals agreed and immediately unleashed their abilities, riding on their immortal swords into the air, and took the lead in flying towards the radiant temple.

Another level 700 expert, dressed as a monk, raised one hand to his chest and shouted, "May Buddha have mercy and occasionally save sentient beings. Please, Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, grant me physical salvation!"

A group of monks stepped out from the crowd and quickly assembled various metal structures into a golden statue of a bodhisattva holding a Gatling gun.

This group of monks came from the Great Thunder Temple of the Dragon Slayer Empire. The golden Bodhisattva they assembled was a defensive tower called "Namo Gatling Bodhisattva," with fierce firepower, specializing in physical salvation.

Another group of monks released towering steel mechs. They were skilled in mech piloting and were mech monks under the command of Venerable Zida of the Great Thunderclap Temple. Their mechs were extremely powerful and capable of fighting against giant beasts in the starry sky.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaonan, the Black Card Angel, and twelve Abyss Angels flew into the air. The divine creature [Snake Dog] mingled among them, its chest scales fully unfurled, revealing countless eyes.

"Kill! Send all the enemies into the abyss!"

This [Snake Dog] is extremely eager to fight.

There were also experts from the Qilin Academy who released Qilin mounts, and rode on them like immortals and gods!

The experts from the Demon Mountain region took out their treasure gourds, swords, and tridents, and raised their demon banners, immediately attracting clusters of dark clouds...

Soon, the battle broke out, and the two sides were overwhelmed as soon as they made contact.

Zhou Nan did not participate in the battle. He sat cross-legged on the top of Chiyang Mountain, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, allowing him to observe everything with ease.

He saw three level 600 mithril angels being shredded by the sword formation of the Yunluo Mountain Sword Immortal; he saw the Abyss Angel summon the Abyss Black Hole, banishing two level 700 gilded angels and three level 600 mithril angels; he saw the Gatling Bodhisattva of the Great Thunderclap Temple riddle a level 700 gilded angel with bullets…

He also witnessed the power of the Bronze Angels, the Gilded Angels, and the Mithril Angels.

These metallic lifeforms have extremely sturdy bodies and immense strength. Their hands and feet can transform at will into various weapons such as longswords, spears, and swords, all of which are like divine weapons. Once attacked by them, even the mechs of the Great Thunder Temple will leave marks on their metal decks.

In the end, the battle lasted for about thirty minutes. All the gilded angels and mithril angels were annihilated. In front of the Temple of Light, only the bronze angel with metal wings and four arms remained. This bronze angel was a level 800 being with extremely powerful strength. His body seemed indestructible. Previously, twelve level 700 abyss angels had thrown him into the black hole of the abyss, but he had actually flown back.

But at this moment, he was surrounded and under attack, and there was no way to escape.

"Damn you, you invaders! Do you dare fight me one-on-one!"

The bronze angel roared, his four arms transforming into four steel whips that whipped out a myriad of phantoms around him.

The experts of the Dragon Slayer Empire were powerful but not rigid; they fought in groups and no one paid any attention to the bronze angel, nor did anyone step in to fight it one-on-one.

With a clang, a beam of light fell, and the bronze angel roared in pain as one of his arms was severed at the shoulder.

The one who controlled the sword light was Jian Jiujiu, but the light was not due to his own power, but rather the power of the sword formation.

"Quickly kill this bastard and seize the temple so we can issue the proclamation for the third layer of deep space!"

As soon as Jian Jiujiu’s voice rang out, someone responded immediately. A Taoist priest dressed in a magnificent robe and riding a golden Qilin beast threw out a bronze hammer. The hammer struck the bronze angel directly on the forehead with a clang, creating a visible dent and causing the bronze angel to stiffen abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, a chief driller from the Demon Mountain region summoned a green demon lightning bolt with a demon banner, which struck the bronze angel, causing him to stagger backward.

The Gatling Bodhisattva of the Great Thunder Temple also began to concentrate fire on the Bronze Angel. The dense bullets made his body sparkle, and sword light fell, as magical weapons were unleashed...

In a short while, the bronze angel's body was beaten beyond recognition, and he let out a roar that dared not utter a sound: "Great Lord of Chenjin, protect me..."

Before he could finish shouting, his body was blown apart. No one came to his rescue, and the Lord of Chenjin never appeared from beginning to end.

Next, the large group rushed into the temple, and after a moment, they all flew out backwards.

The Lord of Chenjin appeared. He strode out of the hall, surrounded by countless sharp metal spikes. With a tearing sound, he ripped his black robe, revealing a body that seemed to be pieced together from countless tiny diamond fragments.

"I am the Lord of Chenjin, the Sixth Will of the Second Layer of Deep Space. You have trespassed into the temple and killed my servants; you shall become my new servants!"

This Lord of Chenjin was quite powerful, and beams of light immediately emanated from his body. Each beam was as destructive as a machine gun, and many of the powerful figures of the Dragon Slaying Empire were immediately injured by those beams.

But at that moment, the Duke Badas, who was watching from the edge of the battlefield, made a move. He flicked his wrist and threw something into the sky. The object seemed to be a square seal. It swelled and grew rapidly in the wind, becoming as big as a small car in the blink of an eye, and then smashed straight toward the Lord of Chenjin.

Strangely, the Lord of Immersion seemed to want to dodge, but his two legs were out of control, rooted to the spot, and he could not move an inch.

"It's the Great Emperor's divine weapon, the Seal of Heaven-Turning!"

"The Duke of Zhenguo actually brought this item!"

"Legend has it that this object weighs as much as a star, possesses the power to shatter divinity, and carries the pressure of an emperor. Once it locks onto you, there is no way to avoid it or dodge it; you will inevitably be struck and shattered!"

"The Great Emperor's Divine Weapon possesses boundless power, like a full-force attack from a level-a thousand expert, capable of annihilating stars and destroying the sun. That Lord of Chenjin is finished..."

The powerful figures of the Dragon Slayer Empire stopped fighting and retreated, while simultaneously discussing the matter.

With a loud bang, the seal slammed into the body of the Lord of Chenjin, slamming him into the ground, causing the ground to crack and cave in.

After a few breaths, Duke Badas shouted, "Stop!"

The precious seal then flew up, shrank, and quickly flew back to the hands of Duke Badas, who carefully put it away.

Looking again at the Temple of Light, in the crater created by the treasure seal, the body of the Lord of Chenjin had been reduced to fine powder.

"We won!"

"As expected, the Emperor's divine weapon is incredibly powerful!"

"Nonsense! The weight of a star, condensed into such a small form, could be crushed by anyone. Besides, the Seal of Heaven-Turning possesses the power to shatter divinity!"

"Now we can take over this Temple of Light, right...?"

A group of powerful figures from the Dragon Slayer Empire cheered with joy. Duke Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and others also stopped using their abilities and flew to the Temple of Light, ready to enter.

But then, a small sword carrying a message flew over. The sword trembled slightly, and Zhou Nan's voice came from it: "The Lord of Chenjin has not been destroyed. He must have used some kind of disintegration method to escape. There are still some traps and mechanisms he set up in this hall. After entering the hall, destroy all the bronze mirrors in the hall first."

Zhou Nan sat cross-legged atop Chiyang Mountain, feeling quite emotional.

The people of the Dragon Slayer Empire are very strong. Compared to them, our card warriors are simply no match. Even Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong are significantly weaker than Jian Jiujiu and the others.

As for the square seal used by Badas, it also made Zhou Nan feel alarmed.

Without a doubt, it was an extremely powerful treasure, possessing far more than just physical destructive power. Let alone a level 999 Chenjin Lord, even a true level 1000 being would likely be severely injured if struck head-on.

Zhou Nan could hear the discussions among the people of the Dragon Slayer Empire, and thus learned that the seal was the Great Emperor's Divine Weapon Seal that turned the world upside down.

He had a clear understanding that the term "Great Emperor's Divine Weapon" was a general term for a certain type of super treasure, probably a weapon of a thousand-level expert. As for the treasure seal, named "Heaven-Turning," it might even be connected to the Heavenly Dao.

In short, with the Seal of Heaven-Turning now in his possession, even ordinary level-100 beings would be no match for Lord Badas and his ilk.

However, the information that Zhou Nan transmitted to the Duke of Zhenguo and others via flying sword was indeed true. The Emperor Sword automatically received the information from deep space. There were some bronze mirrors in the Guang'ang Temple, which were condensations of the power of the Chenjin Lord and a part of his will. They could influence the minds of those around them without them realizing it, causing them to enter the mirrors and become metallic life forms, becoming loyal servants and puppets to the Lord of Immersion, just like the bronze angels and gilded angels.

Zhou Nan used his flying sword to send a message to Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and the others. After entering the temple, they immediately destroyed all the bronze mirrors in the temple and occupied the Temple of Light without any surprises.

"Compared to the masters of the Dragon Slayer Empire, my card warriors still have a long way to go."

Zhou Nan stood up with a sigh. He was about to leave the mountain. There was no doubt that the Temple of Light was one of the nine data hubs in the second layer of deep space. He would definitely have to integrate the large amount of data stored inside and then study how to use it to open a passage to the third layer of deep space.

When they arrived at the mountain gate, Jia Debiao suddenly appeared timidly, looking awe-inspiring.

"What do you need?"

Zhou Nan stopped and asked softly.

"I...I..."

Jia Debiao stammered, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Zhou Nan's face darkened, and he said, "Spit it out!"

Jia Debiao trembled with fright, then solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Zhou Nan, saying, "Ancestor, Great King, Master, Great Hero..."

Zhou Nan grew impatient and said, "Speak properly, hurry up and tell me, or I'm leaving!"

"That!" Jia Debiao gritted his teeth and said, "I want to control that temple and become the new will of deep space. Is that possible?"

"You want to become the will of deep space!" Zhou Nan was quite surprised and frowned. "Why would you have such an idea?"

"I just want to experience it..."

Actually, this guy wanted to leave Chiyang Mountain. He was under too much mental pressure here, and he couldn't help but worry that Zhou Nan would dislike him and punish him. He had wanted to leave for a long time.

In addition, although Zhou Nan made him a card warrior and gave him a path to cultivation, his path and his card-making methods were completely different from Zhou Nan's. He did not want to be bound by Zhou Nan, so after thinking it over, he decided to leave Zhou Nan. Suddenly, the idea of ​​occupying a Temple of Light and becoming the will of the deep space popped into his mind.

"You want to become the will of the deep space, but it also depends on your talent. Your level is so low now, you may not be able to control that Temple of Light... Never mind, come with me first. Becoming the will of the deep space is not a very good thing. If you are willing, I will let you try."

So Jia Debiao followed Zhou Nan into the Temple of Light. To Zhou Nan's surprise, three days later, Jia Debiao actually gained the Temple of Light's approval and control, becoming the new sixth will within the second level of the profound depth.
