Castle of Black Iron
Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1973: Overwhelming Strikes (III)

All the stationary targets on the earth’s surface or above the earth’s surface were targets of the fatal strike Embrace of Twilight Goddess. Its power couldn’t be matched by any bloodline. Even though Zhang Tie activated his battle god bloodline to the utmost after promoting to an immortal emperor, he couldn’t accomplish such a terrifying effect with one movement either.

Despite being the creator of this movement, Zhang Tie also held it in great awe facing the ruins within thousands of square miles after using this movement.

It was really a heavenly power. It couldn’t be purely made artificially.

When he stayed with Tang Mei in Motian Realm, Zhang Tie once discussed the two marvelous energies in the sky with Tang Mei. At that time, Zhang Tie thought that Tang Mei might know the two energies given her power. Unexpectedly, even Tang Mei didn’t know them. Tang Mei couldn’t even sense the two energies in the sky with his spiritual energy. Actually, nobody else in Motian Realm could sense the two energies in the sky, even superb powerhouses like immortal emperors, except Zhang Tie himself.

Zhang Tie thought it was because of the small tree. However, Heller denied him. According to Heller, this capacity had nothing to do with the small tree. Through the close relationship between Zhang Tie and the small tree, Zhang Tie gradually acquired a leakless body; meanwhile, his cells stopped aging. All the special abilities that Zhang Tie owned must be related to the fruits that he got from the small tree.

After getting this point, Zhang Tie suddenly understood why nobody else could sense the two energies spiritually besides himself. After excluding the reason of the small tree, he realized that it might be related to the fact that he cultivated Infinite King Roc Sutra and he advanced to a divine dominator.

Only Zhang Tie met the following three conditions in Motian Realm and the main world: cultivate an emperor-level secret method; advance to a divine dominator; materialize his spiritual energy.

Emperor Xuanyuan cultivated an emperor-level secret method; however, he didn’t advance to a divine dominator. Lord Fairysea was a divine dominator; however, he didn’t cultivate an emperor-level secret method. As for those immortal emperors in Motian Realm, their spiritual energies had been materialized; however, they didn’t cultivate emperor-level secret methods. Neither did they advance to divine dominators…

Therefore, only Zhang Tie could make the Embrace of Twilight Goddess.

What on earth were the two special energies in the sky then?

Zhang Tie didn’t get the answer from either Tang Mei or Heller. However, during the five years when he stayed in the Golden Crown, Zhang Tie discovered a possible answer from the scientific literature and research materials of humans before the Catastrophe in the library of his trouble-reappearance situation——The two energies might be electron and positron or antielectron in the material world. Naturally, electron and the antielectron would not collide with each other. However, once being bound and collided with each other by an external force, they would be devastated with a powerful, destructive energy and strong light. It was similar to the Embrace of Twilight Goddess.

Of course, Zhang Tie also introduced wind elements and fire elements in the Embrace of Twilight Goddess, making it more destructive; meanwhile, it caused high temperature and flames.

On the battlefield, principles and truths were not that important any longer. Fighters would use them as long as they were helpful to them. Take sabers and swords in the hands of fighters as an instance, fighters only minded whether their sabers and swords were sharp or not. They didn’t care how ores were made into sabers and swords. No matter whether the two energies were electron and antielectron, they didn’t weaken the power of Zhang Tie’s strike and the great shock to demons. Zhang Tie held the Embrace of Twilight Goddess in great awe. However, he would never be hesitant about using it.

After destroying demons’ encampment in Force Province, Zhang Tie only took a glance at the huge pit before turning around and flying towards demons’ encampment in Liangzhou Province as fast as he could.

…

When the hot-white light beam appeared in the sky of the demons’ encampment in Force Province, Zuoqiu Mingyue was standing in a high airborne battle fortress at Tongguan Pass with many fierce generals of top four armies of Taixia Country and knights who guarded Tongguan Pass and watching the west in the distance.

In the dark, the white-hot light beam was too glaring. Even though it was tens of thousands of miles away, it was also spotted by Zuoqiu Mingyue and the other generals and knights at Tongguan Pass. In the dark, the light beam in Force Province became a white, shiny, fine needle in the center of their pupils.

“It’s the direction where demons’ encampment in Force Province is in. Is there…” One of those knights behind Zuoqiu Mingyue instantly thought that demons had got a new trump card or a capability to hide themselves at the sight of that white beam. Therefore, he uttered with fear.

Facing demons’ evident advantages in force and the population of knights, it was impossible for those people on the spot to not fear the demons’ method. When Zuoqiu Mingyue suddenly ordered the all the forces to be ready for attack a few hours ago, many people became anxious and fearful as they all guessed that Military God had discovered some special actions or trump card of demons’. Therefore, he prepared to launch a strike towards demons tonight so as to disrupt the attacking rhythm of demons’.

Before that person finished his words and many people had just got more questions, the light beam suddenly turned into a white light and made the entire air zone over Force Province such white as if the sun was rising from the earth surface of Force Province.

In the next two minutes, the white light slowly descended, leaving crimson clouds in the sky in the far.

‘What the hell are demons doing?’

Many generals and knights changed their faces. Even sage-level knights could barely make it.

However, nobody realized that Zuoqiu Mingyue looked different than all the others at this moment.

Actually, Zuoqiu Mingyue was also greatly shocked inside at this moment. They just wanted to watch response of demons’ encampment in Liangzhou Province and Anzhou Province here and what Zhang Tie could make for them on the earth. Unexpectedly, it was demons’ encampment in Force Province which met an abnormal situation first.

If Zhang Tie launched an attack towards demons’ encampment in Force Province, it would be utterly different than attacking demons’ encampments in Liangzhou Province and Anzhou Province on the military. Meanwhile, it indicated that Zuoqiu Mingyue had a false judgment about Zhang Tie’s battle force. Previously, Zuoqiu Mingyue thought that Zhang Tie would attack demons’ encampment in Liangzhou Province and Anzhou Province. If Zhang Tie could really kill one or two demon abyss monarchs on the battlefield of Liangzhou Province or Anzhou Province, he would weaken the defense of demons’ encampments. Then, Zuoqiu Mingyue would seize the opportunity and order human armies to launch a holistic attack towards demons’ encampment. With the coordination of Zhang Tie, they would reduce demons’ morale in Liangzhou Province or Anzhou Province; occupy the communications hubs of the two provinces at most and forced demons’ vanguards to return to the west. Then, they would extract one or two of the demons’ four fangs that were around Lingzhou Province, Lizhou Province and Tongzhou Province. In that way, the overall situation facing Taixia Country would be improved. Taixia Country would not fight enemies such hard.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie directly launched a sudden attack towards demons’ encampment in Force Province. When Zuoqiu Mingyue calculated the shortest time that Zhang Tie spent from Youzhou Province to Force Province and compared it to that he himself would take from Youzhou Province to Force Province, he even doubted that it was not done by Zhang Tie as it was too fast.

…

When those powers in the high tower were in temporary shock and silence, they suddenly heard a voice from behind.

“News…” Zuoqiu Mingyue’s assistant rushed as fast as he could and shouted aloud in a quivering tone before seeing Zuoqiu Mingyue, “Lord, emergency intelligence from No. 1 scout in Force Province…”

The No. 1 scout that Zuoqiu Mingyue dispatched to Force Province was not special. He was an earth knight who was proficient in hiding and assassination. The task of No. 1 scout was to lurk somewhere nearby the encampment of demons’ in Force Province and monitored the actions of the demon army over there.

After hearing his words, all the generals and knights beside Zuoqiu Mingyue instantly fixated onto Zuoqiu Mingyue’s assistant.

“Read it…” As they had already seen the abnormal phenomenon over Force Province just now, Zuoqiu Mingyue couldn’t cover any intelligence about Force Province from the others anymore. Therefore, he directly sent an order and asked his assistant to read it aloud.

“Demons’ encampment in Force Province has just been destroyed by a light beam falling from the heavens just now. At this moment, it was absolutely destroyed within 600 square miles over there. Not a single demon could be discovered. According to my initial estimation, all the 70,000-odd demon knights, the two abyss monarchs and over 500 demon corps nearby the demons’ encampment in Force Province have already been devastated…”

‘What?’

Hearing his report, everyone else on the spot was in a daze.

‘Did the heaven punish demons or No. 1 scout is making such a dull joke with them at the risk of his life?’

Zuoqiu Mingyue looked calm; however, he clenched his hands and sent an order calmly, hands slightly quivering. “Ask No. 2 scout to check it!”

“I didn’t receive the response from No. 2 scout…”

“Continue to contact him. From now on, pay special heed to demons’ encampments in Liangzhou Province and Anzhou Province. Report me every minute!”

“Yes, Lord!”

Zuoqiu Mingyue’s assistant trotted out of there. All the other generals and knights in the high tower were gazing at Zuoqiu Mingyue with a dumbfounded look as many people were still confused about all these at this moment.

“Lord…” A commander of Black Armor Army took one step forward as he wanted to say something…

“Wait…” Zuoqiu Mingyue squeezed a word out his mouth. Closely after that, he turned around and continually stared at the sky in the far. Meanwhile, a streak of shrewd light appeared in his pupils…
