Book 07 Chapter 083: War God Marquis

Divine Farmer City’s entrance:

The army from the nether realm broke Divine Farmer City’s defensive barrier in mere moments.

Countless monks rushed forward, and many Divine Farmer City soldiers took up defensive postures. They all looked in shock at the distant hundred-phoenix carriage escorted by the army of humans, ghosts, and hanba zombies.

Many of the Divine Farmer City officials from the previous regime soon goggled.

“That’s Princess Jingwei! There’s no mistake! It’s Princess Jingwei! His Holy Eminence assigned the princess to reign in his place, but the crown prince returned and snatched the throne!” A sharp-eyed official immediately recognized the hateful Jingwei.

“I heard that the Phoenix Prime, the Flame Monarch, was already dead. To think those one hundred phoenixes are pulling the carriage. Who is in the carriage?”

“Why does Princess Jingwei dare to return? Isn’t she afraid…”

As the officials were overcome with shock, an official suddenly opened his eyes wide in wild joy.

“It’s the first princess! The first princess has returned! The first princess has returned!” that official suddenly shouted excitedly.

Some of the old officials rushed out of the city impatiently.

“First Princess, this old official has finally waited until you returned! First Princess!” some officials called out incredibly excitedly.

“First princess?” Countless officials raised their eyebrows, as this jogged their memory.

“Yan? I recall now. I think my great-grandfather mentioned it before. The first princess established her own nation, becoming a female sovereign. The name of her nation was Yan, the Yan with one fire character more than the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s Yan. The first princess added one more fire than the Yan Heavenly Dynasty in a fit of pique with His Holy Eminence. That’s right. It’s the Yan Imperial Dynasty. The first princess, Jiang Ba!” someone recalled.

“The first princess? Logically speaking, His Highness the Crown Prince is the first princess’s younger brother, so…”

Countless officials appeared shocked.

In joy, horror, shock, and ignorance, the soldiers that rushed out to defend the city immediately split into different factions.

“Respectfully welcoming back Your Highness the First Princess!”

“Fire the arrows if they dare take another step forward!”

The defense of Divine Farmer City turned chaotic.

In the city, the Future Buddha, Di Shitian, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva appeared tense.

“What should we do? The Lord Buddha still has not responded!” Di Shitian looked at the Future Buddha anxiously.

The Future Buddha showed a sullen expression. “No matter what, we cannot lose Divine Farmer City. It has the boundless blessings the Lord Buddha needs. Nothing must go wrong!”

“That’s right. We need to deter her from entering the city!” Di Shitian said with a sullen expression.

Far away, the three-million-strong army respectfully saluted the hundred-phoenix carriage. Then, the carriage flew slowly to the front of the three-million-strong army.

Coo! Coo!

The hundred phoenixes cried out, evincing no distress at being enslaved. Instead, they looked proud, as though pulling this carriage was an extremely glorious deed.

The hundred-phoenix carriage arrived at the very front.

“General, should we fire the arrows?” a defending soldier asked.

One of the generals frowned.

“Protect the first princess. Old Zhang, if you dare shoot at the first princess, don’t blame us for what we do!” another general shouted.

The defending army turned messy.

The hundred-phoenix carriage continued flying. On the carriage, Jingwei glared.

“Elder Sister, it’s them! The Future Buddha, Di Shitian, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, they are all there! Hahahaha! They are Jiang Gautama’s left and right arms!” Jingwei said with hatred on her face.

Far away, the faces of the group in Divine Farmer City sank.

Although they felt anxious at Ba’s return, they did not fear her.

This group had never seen Ba before. After all, she had been sealed for three thousand years. Jiang Gautama had ruled the Spirit Mountain Holy Land for only a thousand years or so.

Hence, everyone only thought of her as an imperial emperor.

No matter how strong an imperial emperor was, so what? Furthermore, she had been sealed for three thousand years.

“We cannot let her enter the city. Jingwei has a certain amount of control over the blessings in the city. She has the Nation Overseeing Mandate, which Jiang Lianshan gave her back then!” the Future Buddha said anxiously.

“I’ll test her! Humph!” Di Shitian snorted coldly.

Di Shitian’s figure stepped forward and flashed, flying out of the city.

As Di Shitian flew, he released a powerful aura, pushing it towards the hundred-phoenix carriage. Jingwei’s expression changed when that powerful aura appeared.

“Elder Sister, Di Shitian is coming!” Jingwei said worriedly.

Coo!

The hundred large phoenixes glared as they cried out furiously.

“Jiang Ba, weren’t you going to remain in the nether realm? What are you doing in the land of the living?” Di Shitian shouted as he blocked the carriage.

The sound waves from his shout were powerful, swaying the carriage’s curtains.

“Insignificant wild dragon, to think you care to say such bold words before us?” A heroic but murderous female voice came from behind the curtains.

The voice did not carry any aura, but it made Di Shitian’s heart tremble unconsciously. This voice had an aloof might as if from the heavens.

“Hah! Wild dragon?!” Di Shitian shouted while glaring. “Jiang Ba, you—”

However, the voice from behind the curtain interrupted him. “Get out of Divine Farmer City immediately. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving.”

The female voice had a determined tone, giving off an aura that looked down on the world.

Di Shitian’s heart sank. He had never felt such a majestic and imposing aura from a woman before. Its irresistible nature compelled one to obey.

However, how could Di Shitian shrink away now?

Di Shitian shouted, “Humph! As a woman, you should seek a husband to marry, remain at home to assist your husband, and raise the children. Yet, you come and usurp the role of the man. I wonder—”

“How audacious!”

Above the large carriage, a bronze-armored general holding a square bronze shield in his left hand and an ax in his right suddenly stepped forward while glaring.

Boom!

When he brandished his ax, a piercing light appeared in the world, so dazzling that it forced everyone to shut their eyes.

“What?” Di Shitian exclaimed as his expression changed.

This ax swung with a ferocious might, instantly overwhelming Di Shitian.

“Oh no!”

Boom!

Di Shitian only managed a startled cry before a loud report rang out, and an azure light exploded in the world. A black hole appeared at his location, and a berserk spatial shock wave sent a violent gust blowing in all directions.

Whoosh!

The black hole vanished, and everyone goggled.

“What?” The expressions of the Future Buddha, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva changed.

Even the distant Gu Hai in Borderless Heavenly Capital narrowed his heavenly eye.

When the black hole vanished outside Divine Farmer City, it revealed that the bronze-armored general had vertically bisected Di Shitian, the leader of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Tribes, who had insulted Jingwei’s elder sister, with his ax.

Di Shitian’s internal organs spilled out, and blood sprayed all around as his body fell. One half exploded, splattering a vast amount of blood.

Just one ax strike? Di Shitian got split in half with only one ax strike?

The head of the other half showed disbelief. One of Jiang Ba’s officials chopped me down like that? Furthermore, I could not resist at all?

This…this is impossible!

“Save me!” Di Shitian cried for help with much difficulty.

“Oh no!” The expressions of Brahma and the others changed, and they wanted to rush over.

“Not dead yet? Humph!” That bronze-armored general thrust his shield forward.

“Stop!” Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva quickly made their moves, feeling shocked and furious. However, it was already too late.

The shield moved too quickly. Just like the earlier ax, it smashed that remaining half.

Boom!

The other half of the dragon’s body instantly exploded into powder.

“How dare you?!” The three attacked simultaneously, launching powerful strikes.

Clang!

The bronze-armored general pushed his shield forward.

Boom!

The shield knocked the three back, shocking them as they looked at the bronze-armored general.

“No! No! That’s impossible!” Brahma exclaimed.

“Who are you?!” Shiva yelled in horror.

A few maidservants opened the curtains of that carriage. Then, a woman wearing fiery-red imperial robes and a crown stepped out slowly. Although she looked gorgeous, her beauty had a domineering flavor that declared herself supreme.

It was as if everyone in the world was shorter than her as she stood there.

“Your Reverence!” The bronze-armored general showed a solemn expression when he saw Ba step out.

It was not just the bronze-armored general. Some other generals and officials standing above the carriage bowed extremely respectfully. “Your Reverence!”

Ba ignored them. Instead, she looked coldly at the distant Future Buddha, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

“We gave you a chance earlier. Since you don’t want it, then never mind!” Ba said coldly.

Gave us a chance? What chance?

Suddenly, everyone recalled what Ba had said.

Get out of Divine Farmer City immediately. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving.

Ba had said that earlier. She told them to get lost, but Di Shitian charged forward recklessly?

Had it been earlier, everyone would have doubted Ba’s words. However, just one of Ba’s subordinates destroyed Di Shitian in an instant. Thus, everyone’s heart shuddered.

The Future Buddha’s entire body trembled as a sense of impending doom overwhelmed him.

“Lord Future Buddha, what should we do?” the bodhisattvas and arhats asked anxiously.

Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva looked at the Future Buddha too.

The Future Buddha felt anxious. Before he could speak, the distant Ba suddenly spoke.

“Xingtian!” Ba said indifferently.

[TL Note: Xingtian is based on a figure in Chinese mythology. Here is a Wikipedia entry on him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xingtian.]

“This official is present!” the bronze-armored general holding a shield and ax shouted in response.

“Clear them out! Spare no one!” Ba’s expression appeared extremely indifferent, as though she spoke of something unworthy of her attention.

“Yes!” Xingtian shouted.

Boom!

Xingtian immediately soared into the sky and charged at Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

“Xingtian? He is Lord Xingtian?!” a Divine Farmer City official exclaimed.

“Lord Xingtian? My great-grandfather had mentioned him before. He was the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s War God Marquis. Later on, he served the first princess. Didn’t the Huang Heavenly Emperor, the Yellow Emperor back then, decapitate him? That’s not right! That’s not right! Lord Xingtian is still alive?” an official exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

In the distant Borderless Heavenly Capital, Gu Hai also narrowed his eyes. “Xingtian? Xingtian’s dance of ax and shield? The Yellow Emperor chopped off his head. He uses his nipples as eyes and his bellybutton as a mouth, a god of war?”

Gu Hai also knew the name of this war god. This war god existed not only on the Divine Continent but also on Earth. This person had a counterpart in the other immortal firmament?

“Hah!”

The war godXingtian swung his ax at Brahma, sending out an ax light. When the ax swung, it seemed like countless souls of soldiers appeared, charging at Brahma with the ax strike.

“Oh no! Help me!” Brahma’s expression changed.
