Chapter 1693: Chapter 1713: Group of Monsters

The death of the Crown Prince completely drove the palace guards mad. Thousands of palace guards gathered, unleashing a storm of arrows and spears, bombarding Yusuf Zuck with various Divine Skills.

However, Yusuf Zuck forged ahead through the rain of arrows and sea of fire, wielding the Epoch Etching Blade. Possessing the Meritorious Golden Body, he was nearly invincible, a resilient figure that couldn’t be easily killed.

Even Yang Shuai and Ricardo Fuentes were both shocked and awestruck, for despite his unremarkable Cultivation Level, his defense and Magic Treasures were exceedingly strong. Relying on these two, they couldn’t kill him instantly, forcing them to use a strategy of attrition, sacrificing lives to exhaust him!

As for Sir Gould, he was unable to intervene at this point; his condition seemed rather unstable, his eyes turning red, as if in a state of mania, mumbling phrases like “child of destiny” repeatedly.

The palace fell into chaos as Yusuf Zuck charged forward, bodies falling from above, blood splattering, creating an unbearable stench. Yet, the enemy was overwhelming; as soon as he eliminated one group, another swiftly replaced them. Most surprisingly, these people were fearless—they knew standing in his way meant death, yet rushed forward with reckless abandon.

Yusuf Zuck also realized that continuing like this, he would never reach Weiyang Palace. It wouldn’t take many hours before he exhausted his strength, becoming vulnerable prey.

He had already used all his Divine Skills, including the vast domain, but the coverage was limited, preventing him from fully controlling the situation.

His body was soaked with blood and sweat, even covered in flesh fragments, and he was injured. Despite the rain of arrows not penetrating his flesh, the impact could shatter planets, causing his seven orifices to bleed constantly.

The little white creature in his sleeve shivered because it could sense that its master might be trapped in this predicament, unable to help.

But just as Yusuf Zuck was frantically, mechanically slaughtering, suddenly, countless light points flickered behind the layers of encirclement. Then, a transparent blue barrier rapidly formed, enclosing him and thousands of guards within.

For a moment, Yusuf Zuck couldn’t hear any outside sounds; the barrier instantly isolated him from the outside.

Of course, he could see outside, noticing hundreds of men in black and white robes feeding the array flags beneath their feet with Essence Blood!

Palace Array Masters set up the Formation, an isolation array, likely followed by catastrophic attacks inside the formation.

And indeed, as the soldiers inside the enclosure panicked, the barrier suddenly trembled, followed by light beams shining down, dense as needles, thicker than rain, penetrating the space from top to bottom!

“Hoo~ Poof~” In almost an instant, in the blink of an eye, thousands of soldiers completely turned into blood mist, the light needles were too dense, annihilating everything upon penetration.

Yusuf Zuck bore the brunt of the light needle attack and had to desperately protect the little white creature!

Predictably, everything on him, except the small white creature in his palm intact, disintegrated under the light needles, including his clothes, revealing his perfect Golden Body, bare Golden Body entirely.

“Wow~” Yusuf Zuck endured the excruciating pain, rapidly draining his physical strength, when suddenly tens of thousands of guards retreated, and then a dragon emerged, followed by a giant ape, a giant elephant, a giant tiger…

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~” One ancient beast after another roared out, each gigantic, each majestic, and within just a few breaths, the number of these ancient beasts reached over a thousand.

Yusuf Zuck realized these ancient beasts were all at the Lord’s Realm, and they were driven by a single person, a young girl seemingly sixteen or seventeen years old.

She was the last to appear, riding a large green ox.

Yusuf Zuck couldn’t hear outside sounds but could see the girl’s arrogance and the myriad soldiers’ worshipful gaze towards her!

“Hmm? Something’s off!” Suddenly, Yusuf Zuck sensed something wrong and intensely fixed his gaze on the girl’s rear!

Indeed, he looked at the girl’s rear because… because she had a tail like a monkey’s, raised high.

“She’s not human, she’s a demon!” Instantly, Yusuf Zuck confirmed the girl controlling countless Demonic Beasts was also a demon!

At this thought, Yusuf Zuck’s eyes flashed brilliantly because he found a way to break the deadlock.

Clearly, the girl was the beast trainer of this palace, the master of these supreme creatures. If… If he subdued the demon girl, then these thousands of ancient Demonic Beasts could be used by him, making the way forward unobstructed!

“Buzzing~” The girl stood up from her green ox, raising her arms, and all the beasts’ eyes turned red.

Simultaneously, the barrier of the Formation began rotating, likely coordinating with the beasts’ attacks, then a funnel-shaped spiral black hole emerged!

“Roar!” Thousands of beasts roared simultaneously, then poured energy beams from their mouths!

Yusuf Zuck’s scalp tingled, his eyelids twitched; he knew he absolutely couldn’t be hit by this combined attack, or he’d suffer terribly even if not die.

“Little white, we’re going for it.” Yusuf Zuck suddenly bit his teeth, rushing upwards before the beasts’ energy attacks entered the funnel, rapidly swinging his blade!

“Boom~” Under his strike, the barrier of the Formation failed to break!

He knew it was the Palace Array Masters burning their life essence, aiming to trap him inside, therefore its defense was exceptionally strong.

However, he could only fight with all his might, slashing at the same spot repeatedly.

“Crack, crack~” At the fifth strike, the barrier finally cracked, while many formation masters outside vomited blood and collapsed.

Yet at this moment, the thousand beasts’ energy attacks had gathered into the funnel, forming a beam aimed at him!

“More!” Yusuf Zuck continued slashing furiously.

Sixth strike, still no break; seventh strike, the beam was less than ten meters away!

“Meow~” Just at this desperate moment, as Yusuf Zuck roared, the little white creature in his palm suddenly meowed, transforming into a gleam of light, dashing out from his hand, shooting toward the barrier crack!

“Clang” The barrier shattered while the little white creature, devoid of life signs, fell downward!

“Little white…” Yusuf Zuck was terrified, catching the creature swiftly, but he had no time to think further because the energy beam nearly hit him!

He followed the crack that the little white creature broke through, escaping. Simultaneously, a massive explosion erupted behind him.

“Whoosh~” As Yusuf Zuck fed the little white creature Dew of Creation, he recklessly charged towards the demon girl.
