Chapter 762 - Spy! Crisis! Willpower Descends!

The dazzling light gradually dissipated.

The green figure was revealed.

However, there was clearly a hint of disbelief in the eyes of the current Spirit King.

He looked at the defense barrier that was still as smooth as new, and then at the spiritual sword in his hand that had dimmed a lot.

He could not help but be surprised.

“How can the defense of this energy shield be so powerful?”

“My full-strength attack can’t even shake it?”

“This is impossible!!”

The Spirit King was in disbelief.

To be able to do this, it meant that the level of this energy shield was at least at the peak of the Divine Lord Realm!

How was this possible?!

If the Great Emperor’s City had such terrifying means, would it still be afraid of him?

It just had to activate the energy shield every time and wait for the enemy to exhaust themselves!

That fierce battle millions of years ago could’ve been completely avoided.

Why fight to the death with him and cause more than half of the soldiers in the Great Emperor’s City to die?

The Spirit King was puzzled.

Logic told him that it was impossible for such a heaven-defying method to have no restrictions.

His cold eyes swept across everyone, but in the end, they suddenly fixed on the towering flames inside the Great Emperor’s City.

“Burning… the power of the Great Emperor…”

Suddenly, the Spirit King came to a realization.

He looked around at the golden-armored commanders and sneered.

“You guys are really getting worse!”

“If Huang Quan finds out that you actually burned his nest, will he kill you directly?”

The Second Commander’s expression did not change as he said indifferently, “There’s no need for you to worry, Spirit King.”

“We swore to protect the Heavenly Tree to the death and punish the evil. We had no choice but to do this. I don’t think the Great Emperor will blame us.”

“As for you, Spirit King, even if the Great Emperor’s City loses today, so what if you unify the River of the Netherworld? When the Great Emperor returns, do you think you can survive?”

“Why don’t you turn over a new leaf as soon as possible? The Great Emperor might spare your life on account of your identity as an Ancient Spirit Body!”

Hearing this, the Spirit King merely sneered.

“A bunch of foolishly loyal fellows. It’s still unknown if the Netherworld Emperor can return! Back then, the Starlight God Dynasty’s riot involved countless top-notch experts. The Spirit King was not invincible. Why couldn’t he die?”

“Otherwise, after hundreds of millions of years, why haven’t I heard any more news about him?”

“I’m afraid only you idiots firmly believe that he can return!”

Obviously, the Spirit King felt that the Netherworld Emperor would not be able to return, so he dared to act so wantonly.

Furthermore, if he could obtain the body of the Heavenly Tree, he might be able to break through to the Master God Realm. At that time, even if he was still not a match for the Netherworld Emperor, where in the vast world could he not go to as a Master God?

The Second Commander slowly shook his head, too proud to say anything else.

The Spirit King did not mind. After a faint smile, he began to bombard the energy barrier of the Great Emperor’s City crazily.

Even though it seemed to be useless, the Spirit King seemed to enjoy it and attacked with all his might again and again.

The Great Emperor’s City was still stable. Under the protection of the energy shield, not even a trace of vibration could be transmitted in.

But seeing the Spirit King’s actions, the four golden-armored commanders panicked at the same time.

“Oh no!”

Chu Feng asked through voice transmission in confusion, “What’s wrong? If this Spirit King wants to blast it, let him. Anyway, it can’t be blasted through.”

The Second Commander shook his head with a solemn expression.

“It’s not that simple.”

“As I said before, the total amount of imperial power contained in the Great Emperor’s City is actually fixed. In order to maintain this barrier, we are slowly burning some buildings in the city. However, under the crazy bombardment of the Spirit King, in order to continue maintaining the defensive effect of the barrier, the speed of burning buildings will definitely increase!”

“In other words, if the Great Emperor’s City could have lasted for twenty-four hours, it might only last for twenty hours or even less now.”

“Energy is not produced out of thin air…”

After listening to the Second Commander’s explanation, Chu Feng frowned.

“Doesn’t that mean that there’s much less time for the Heavenly Tree to recover?”

The Second Commander nodded heavily.

Clearly, the Spirit King in the outside world had seen through the mystery, so he attacked crazily.

On the city wall, everyone had solemn expressions.

This way, the uncertainty was even greater.

Just as everyone was panicking, suddenly, the voice of the main control system sounded in everyone’s ears.

[Hint: The Heavenly Tree’s consciousness has completely awakened. Commanders, please head to the City Lord Residence immediately.]

Hearing this voice, everyone’s eyes were filled with ecstasy.

Since his consciousness had already awakened, it meant that his combat strength was not far from recovery.

There should be time!

“Silence! Everyone, stay calm! We must not let the Spirit King see through us!”

Immediately, the Second Commander hurriedly shouted in the internal communication system.

If the Spirit King found out about this, he might cause some trouble.

At the critical moment, it was best to reduce trouble!

Now that they were inside the energy barrier, the Spirit King should not be able to eavesdrop on them!

Then, the five commanders, including Chu Feng, left at the same time.
