Apotheosis

Sebert and Satchel had higher cultivation bases compared to the weapon refiners from Su Clan and Oneness Sky Palace.

The weapon refiners were as strong as a one-star or two-star Oneness Guard, while their enemy was a powerful nonhuman creature that came from the Divine Lair of the Sun Crow race, and she was more powerful than a five-star Oneness Guard!

It was apparent that none of Cailen's group was a match for the woman. It would be like a bunch of babies fighting against a full-grown woman.

The woman's body was enveloped with golden flames that burned all in their path but left her unharmed. Her wings quivered behind her and touched a weapon refiner, and almost immediately, the man burst into flames.

Puff!

The weapon refiner's shrill screams of pain dissolved into groans until there was nothing left of him but ashes.

The other members of the Su Clan were terrified and helpless, but Sebert and Satchel were entangled in other battles. How were they going to fight against this powerful woman by themselves?

The woman sneered at their pitiful looks and said, "You are just weak weapon refiners. Do you want to run away from me? Dream on!"

She watched them shiver in terror and grinned wider.

"Hand the Shade Stone over, and I might still spare your lives.

Otherwise, you will die a miserable death."

Her voice sounded like the ringing of tiny bells, haunting and beautiful. "Gather around me! Form the array!"

shouted Cailen with urgency, and his companions hurried to do as he said.

He knew well that they wouldn't be able to escape, so he gave up that option quickly.

Every member of the Su Clan was a weapon refiner. Besides the Nine Edges Weapon Refining Array, they had also mastered another array — the Nine Edges Heaven Slaughtering Array.

This array could maximize the power of the weapons, similar to the Imperial Sword Seal in some way. The power of the array depended on the weapons used by the people who were forming the array, and it was well-known that every weapon refiner possessed excellent weapons themselves, so the power of their array was nothing to be trifled with.

Whoosh!

Cailen turned his hand over, and an array plate emerged in his palm out of nowhere.

He threw it into the air, and nine huge beams of light charged into the sky where countless densely arranged runes began to appear among the beams of light.

"Take your positions! Draw your swords!"

Cailen's orders resounded on the battlefield like a beacon for his clanmates, who rallied around him.

The weapon refiners of the Oneness Sky Palace had been in charge of the Nine Edges Weapon Refining Array before, which was similar to the Nine Edges Heaven Slaughtering Array. Each of them quickly entered a beam of light too and pulled out their swords. The beams of light immediately shone brilliantly, as they responded to the power of the swords, and the power of the array increased gre

His reputation in the Su Clan was ruined, but he could still help now if he could just fill the gap for them. Unfortunately, they had lost track of him after they went out of Blue Cloud City.

Cailen chose not to answer his men. Instead, he focused on the shield and abruptly flipped the array plate when they had defended for a while. As the green shield turned, numerous green swords emerged and shot towards the woman.

But the great array they formed lacked one person, and thus, both its defenses and attacks were weaker.

The woman seemed to know this as well, as she waited calmly for the attack that she didn't even bother to dodge. She just wrapped her golden wings around her body, which were strong enough to block the green swords with ease.

When the attack was over, she shook off her wings as if the attack just tickled her, and not even a single scratch graced her skin. Her wings were barely damaged as well.

Zen and Gant had been hiding in a bush some distance away because the divine flames had burned almost all stones and trees that were near the place. A large area of black earth was left, and only the small patch of bush survived from the catastrophe.

"The Nine Edges Heaven Slaughtering Array should be formed by nine people, but they are one person short. Its power is greatly weakened. Let me go and help them!"

Gant pleaded.

He knew that he was as weak as an ant in front of the powerful woman, but he was still a member of the Su Clan. He was familiar with this array, and he would be able to fill in the gap.

If he could join them, the power of the array would be doubled!

He knew Eira was still unconscious somewhere under the array, and his father and his uncles were also there.

He and his father Cailen might be at odds at the moment, but they were still family. It was impossible for Gant not to worry about him, especially now, when his help could make the difference between life and death.
