Chapter 577: 306: Rune Seed Part - Enlightenment, Enhancing the Foundation
After pursuing the Demon Race for a hundred thousand miles, numerous members of the Monster Extermination Army cheered joyously, their eyes brimming with tears.
“This time, we have not only turned defeat into victory, but also severely wounded the Demon Race and reclaimed a hundred thousand mountains and rivers.”
Excitement and exhilaration were beyond words. They vented through their loud cheers, echoing over the vast battlefield.
“Morigin is invincible, the Human Race is invincible!”
This battle was not only about the security of the Demon Suppressing Pass, but it was also tied to the subsequent wars. Hence, every member of the Monster Extermination Army was fighting with their all.
However, with the arrival of the Heavenly Prizes of the Demon Race, there was always the chance of annihilation of the entire army.
Luckily, someone arrived just in time at the critical moment. With his individual strength, he killed the Heavenly Pride of the Demon Race and slew the Ninth Rank Demon King.
Just by himself, he reversed the tide of battle.
That man was Lu Yun, the Army Commander of the Celestial Strategy Army.
Starting from that moment, everyone deeply engraved his silhouette in their hearts.
“Hey, how much Luck Value have you accumulated on your tokens?”
One of the Heavenly Prides asked Qin Feng. Qin Feng glanced at his token, which had turned green, and sighed helplessly, “I only have over five hundred Luck Value right now. To turn the token into the gold color, it’s a long way to go.”
“You’re doing well. I only have over eight hundred right now,” a Heavenly Pride at the peak of the Rune Seed Realm said.
“Hey, how much Luck Value do we need to accumulate for the token to turn gold?” a Heavenly Pride asked with curiosity.
“I don’t know that. Anyway, I’ve already accumulated three thousand five hundred Luck Value now, but my token is still blue.”
“From what I observe, different people need different amounts of Luck Value for their tokens to change color. Those with Skip-Two Combat Power need at least double our Luck Value to change the color of their tokens.”
As they discussed, a young man wearing red armor and carrying a fire-infant long spear on his back approached them.
“Heavenly Pride Xiao.”
Upon seeing Xiao Yun, all the Heavenly Prides showed a look of admiration. He had single-handedly slain an Eighth Stage late-term Demon Beast while pursuing the defeated armies of the Demon Race. His power was incredibly formidable and unrivaled.
“Brother Xiao, how was the harvest of this battle?” a Heavenly Pride asked.
“I barely broke ten thousand.” Xiao Yun toyed with the blue token in his hand and said with a wry smile, “After killing an Eighth Stage late-term Demon Beast, several Eighth Stage and a dozen Seventh Rank Demon Beasts, my token has barely turned blue.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed slightly when they looked at Xiao Yun. Ten thousand Luck Value and the token had only just turned blue, which especially shocked the Heavenly Prides in the Rune Seed Realm.
To accumulate ten thousand Luck Value, they had to slay at least a hundred Seventh Rank peak Demon Beasts.
“If I could have slain a few Heavenly Prizes of the Demon Race, that would have been great. Lu Yun slew so many Heavenly Prizes of the Demon Race and even a Ninth Rank Demon King in the end. His token must have already turned gold.”
Xiao Yun said regretfully.
Upon mention of Lu Yun, the Heavenly Prides present were all cheered up.
They had arrived late and didn’t get to witness Lu Yun slaying the numerous Heavenly Prides of the Demon Race. However, they actually saw a Demon King fall under Lu Yun’s blade.
A Ninth Rank Demon King, that was unimaginable.
In the Human Race, a Ninth Rank Demon King was equivalent to a Celestial Human – the absolute top fighters, incredibly powerful, capable of deciding the outcome of a battlefield, yet was slain by a peak fighter in the Rune Seed Realm.
He had virtually fought against enemies five realms above him….
They exchanged glances, knowing in their hearts that they were destined to only gaze up at him from a distance.
“If we want to return to Morigin, we must accumulate enough Luck Value to turn our tokens gold. Follow me to the next battlefield.”
“Alright.”
…
At the Demon Suppressing Pass, when Lu Yun and the severely injured members of the Monster Extermination Army returned, they received an exceedingly warm welcome.
“Congratulations to the Unparalleled Venerable on your triumphant return.”
The numerous Monster Extermination Army soldiers were cheering excitedly, their expressions filled with extreme emotion.
Since the Demon Beasts’ riot half a year ago, this was the first time that the Monster Extermination Army had won a head-on battle and achieved victory over the Demon Race.
“Brother Unparalleled, you have done a great deed this time, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Demon Suppressing Pass,” sighed Huang Tianhua.
The Unparalleled Venerable shook his head and laughed, “I don’t have such a big capability. If it weren’t for Army Commander Lu Yun arriving in time and pulling us back from the brink, I might not have even made it back.”
“Oh, is that what happened?” Huang Tianhua looked doubtful.
The Unparalleled Venerable then recounted the appearance of the Heavenly Prizes of the Demon Race, the defeat of the Monster Extermination Army, the timely arrival of Lu Yun, and how he, single-handedly, slew over thirty Heavenly Prizes of the Demon Race and killed the most powerful Ninth Rank Demon King – the Purple-eyed Cloud-winged Tiger.
Hearing this, Huang Tianhua fell silent for a long moment.
Although he hadn’t witnessed the scene with his own eyes, he could imagine how tough the situation was.
The Demon Race’s Heavenly Pride, who had Suzaku’s bloodline, almost had Celestial Human level of power, enough to decide the victory or defeat of a battlefield.
People and also, more than thirty terrifying Heavenly Prides of the Demon Race…
Huang Tianhua went up to Lu Yun, giving a deep bow, “On behalf of the Demon Suppressing Pass and all the Monster Extermination Army in battle, I thank Army Commander Lu.”
“We express our gratitude to Army Commander Lu!”
At the same time, many members of the Monster Extermination Army, including the Unparalleled Venerable, knelt before Lu Yun.
“Everyone, there’s no need for this. Assisting the Monster Extermination Army in driving out the Demon Race is both the responsibility and obligation of my Celestial Strategy Army.”
Lu Yun raised his hand slightly, a wave of invisible force released, making those who wanted to continue bowing toward him unable to move.
