Book 6: Chapter 019: Bone Saber Mountain
The sky above the Soaring Palace Hallâs plaza turned chaotic.
Chen Tianshan suddenly understood that he could not escape todayâs calamity. Bringing Prime Feng Yue here demonstrated Gu Qinâs determination. Prime Feng Yue was an Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator, while the Han Royal Dynasty had no Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator to defend it. Given that, Chen Tianshan could not flee, even if he wanted to.
If Gu Qin took over the nation, the first person he would kill would be Duke Tianshan, as the Han Royal Dynasty did not need a second voice in command.
Sima Changkong did not come with good intentions. However, based on his conversation with Gu Qin, the two had come to some sort of arrangement.
Long Aotian disregarded Chen Tianshan altogether. He just wanted Mo Yike and Gao Xianzhi. If he captured the two, the confidence of the Han Royal Dynastyâs citizens would soon waver.
That was why Chen Tianshan ordered the five hundred thousand Divine Demon Army soldiers to kill the three at all costs.
Gu Qin, Sima Changkong, and Long Aotian.
If Gu Qin died, he could not take over the Han Royal Dynasty. Prime Feng Yue represented the black tortoise race and could not succeed the throne, so no one cared about them. Sima Changkongâs death would plunge the dragons into chaos. If Long Aotian died, the zombies would scatter.
As long as the three of them died, this calamity would end. Even if Prime Feng Yue or Ao Sheng wanted revenge, everything would end with Chen Tianshanâs death. The Han Royal Dynasty would be protected for now, as long as they died.
As for the rest, Chen Tianshan could not do anything more, only hope that the emperor returned soon.
There were five hundred thousand Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators. Even Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators would not dare take on such a horrifying number. That was a trained army. Their ferocious murderous intent caused the threeâs expressions to change dramatically.
Given this, Prime Feng Yue had to protect Gu Qin quickly.
Ao Sheng also had to protect Sima Changkong.
Likewise, the zombie sovereign had to protect Long Aotian. If the three died, all their efforts would go to waste.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud reports immediately came from the sky. When Prime Feng Yue and the others attacked, they sent the Divine Demon Army soldiers flying one after another. However, Gu Hai had trained the Divine Demon Army, and its soldiers were absolutely loyal. So what if they got sent flying? They just resumed their assault.
The murderous feelings from the Asura Path Secret Realm resurfaced. They did not care about the three experts attacking them. Although they sustained severe injuries, how could they fear the other side when they had five hundred thousand of them?
RumbleâŠ!
The shock waves from the clashes formed three powerful tornadoes. The warriors brandishing weapons did not fear death. With ferocious expressions, they charged into the tornadoes.
The powerful tremors sent chills through the hearts of the experts from the factions below.
âFive hundred thousand Lower Heavenly Palace cultivators, that canât be wrong. How could there be five hundred thousand Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators? How did the Han Royal Dynasty do it?â
âI previously thought that the Han Royal Dynasty was just a weak royal dynasty that got lucky in gaining a connection with Long Zhanguo. Only now do I realize I was completely wrong. Long Zhanguo thought highly of the Han Royal Dynasty because it was strong!â
âHow could it be this strong?â
âWhen we attacked the Han Royal Dynastyâs cities, all the city lords were Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators. I already found it strange then. It turns outâŠit turns out that the Han Royal Dynasty has so many Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators?â
The surrounding experts trembled in fear.
The Heavenly Palace Realm black tortoises, zombies, and dragons roared as they charged at Chen Tianshan.
âFirst Corps! Protect Duke Tianshan!â Gao Xianzhi shouted.
Boom!
Many soldiers immediately charged over from the surroundings.
Gao Xianzhiâs one hundred thousand soldiers were of similar levels to the Divine Demon Army soldiers. As they rushed over, they released their powerful Heavenly Palace Realm auras.
âWhat?â The expressions of the dragon raceâs elders changed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A chain of loud reports rang out. The First Corps blocked most of the dragons, zombies, and black tortoises. They also attacked viciously, killing many.
Countless dragons, zombies, and black tortoises suffered severe injuries or died.
âActivate the cityâs defensive ritual array! Protect the citizens!â Mo Yike waved his hand.
Borderless Heavenly Capital shook from the battle but stabilized slowly after the ritual array activated. Surging fog immediately appeared everywhere, protecting the citizens.
Borderless Heavenly Capitalâs citizens and officials goggled in disbelief at the Han Royal Dynastyâs Divine Demon Army.
âMy Han Royal Dynasty is this strong?â
âLower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators? There are so many of them? There are so many? How can this be?!â
âHis Majesty has laid a great foundation!â
Many officials felt shocked. Amid that, some were pleasantly surprised, and others were horrified; everyone felt different things.
Meng Tai waved his hand. The Embroidered Uniform Guard experts quickly defended Chen Tianshan, watching Gao Xianzhiâs one hundred thousand powerful soldiers kill dragons, zombies, and black tortoises continuously.
Only a portion got killed. Although one hundred thousand soldiers were many, they were all just in the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm.
There were Middle Heavenly Palace Realm experts among the dragons, zombies, and black tortoises. Although they could not do anything about the one hundred thousand powerful soldiers, they still could advance toward Chen Tianshan amid the battle.
RumbleâŠ!
After a stunning impact, the powerful soldiers got knocked away, and ten Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators closed in on Chen Tianshan.
âQin Zibai!â Mo Yike called out.
A bamboo cane immediately appeared in Qin Zibaiâs hand. Then, he swung it at one of the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm black tortoises.
Boom!
That black tortoise suddenly went hurtling backward.
âMiddle Heavenly Palace Realm? Qin Zibai?â The Middle Heavenly Palace cultivators recognized Qin Zibai.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Qin Zibai blocked three Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators and even held at the upper hand.
âQuickly attack! Kill Chen Tianshan, and the Divine Demon Army will be leaderless! We will block Qin Zibai. Continue forward and kill Chen Tianshan! Hurry!â a dragon race elder shouted.
Boom!
Four Middle Heavenly Palace Realm occupied Qin Zibai. Then, the rest of the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators rushed toward Chen Tianshan.
âBlock them!â Meng Tai shouted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators knocked Meng Tai, Gao Xianzhi, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards into the air.
Suddenly, Chen Tianshan no longer had any defenders.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards and Gao Xianzhiâs powerful soldiers could not stop the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators.
A Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator rushed before Chen Tianshan in the blink of an eye.
With no one around Chen Tianshan, no one could save him.
âHahaha! It is myâCui Jinâsâturn to make contributions today! Die!â That black tortoise elder scowled ferociously as he thrust his sword at Chen Tianshan.
[TL Note: Cui Jin (Cui Gold) is likely the brother of a few other black tortoises mentioned earlier in the story. Cui Tie (Cui Iron), Cui Tong (Cui Bronze), and Cui Yin (Cui Silver).]
âDuke Tianshan!â Mo Yike, Gao Xianzhi, and Meng Tai called out.
At this moment, Chen Tianshan did not close his eyes at all. Instead, he guffawed, showing some regrets in his eyes as he did so.
Chen Tianshan reared his head back and roared, âThis official, Chen Tianshan, can no longer serve Your Majesty. I hope my Han Nation lasts for tens of thousands of years. Long live Your Majesty! May Your Majesty live for ten thousand years!â
That roar did not stand out amid the pandemonium. However, this unremarkable cry was like a heavy hammer smashing down on the officialsâ hearts.
Gao Xianzhi, Mo Yike, Meng Tai, and many other officials immediately felt embarrassed.
Duke Tianshanâs intrinsic quality was not something that small tricks could compare to. For the first time, Mo Yike and Gao Xianzhi found themselves incomparable to Chen Tianshan. Previously, they had looked down on Chen Tianshanâs ability. Now, they found themselves laughable.
As everyone showed an anxious expression, Cui Jinâs sword arrived before Chen Tianshanâs face.
It looked like Chen Tianshan would die to Cui Jinâs sword.
Just then, a bone spike suddenly erupted out of the ground below Chen Tianshan.
The spike grew increasingly taller, shooting towards the tip of Cui Jinâs sword.
Ding!
When the bone spike struck the sword tip, Cui Jinâs sword stopped cold; the bone spike was just too hard.
âWhat?â Cui Jinâs expression changed.
The others in the surroundings appeared confused.
A spike? Bone spike? Does Chen Tianshan still have other hidden tricks?
However, when they looked at Chen Tianshan, he seemed at a loss.
âThis isâŠâ Many people appeared confused.
Why did a bone spike block Cui Jinâs sword?
Why did this bone spike save Chen Tianshan?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Tianshanâs mind.
A bone spike? A bone attack? This is⊠This isâŠ!
Chen Tianshan suddenly felt very emotional, and his eyes lit up. Tears of excitement welled up in his eyes as he trembled in excitement.
âHe returned! He returned!â Chen Tianshan started weeping for joy.
âWhat enchanted treasure is this? Humph! Die!â After failing to kill with a sword strike, Cui Jin sent a palm strike toward Chen Tianshan.
Now, Chen Tianshan no longer feared anything. He even showed a jubilant gaze.
Phish!
Just as Cui Jinâs palm was about to strike Chen Tianshanâs face, another bone spike erupted out of the ground and stabbed his palm. The bone spike tore its way out of the wrist and headed for his chest.
âArgh!â Cui Jin screamed miserably in pain.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as the bone spike impaled Cui Jin.
Blargh!
Cui Jin spewed a mouthful of blood.
However, the bone spike did not stop. It continued growing larger and taller, even increasing in number. It soared high into the sky, turning into a massive mountain of bone sabers.
Cui Jin was practically ripped apart. He struggled in the sky, feeling disbelief at the strange scene.
A bone mountain pierced through me?
âWhy?!â
Blargh!
Cui Jin spewed another mouthful of blood and took his last breath in despair.
The sudden change bewildered Chen Tianshanâs attackers.
Why did this happen?
However, it was not over yet.
Boom!
Hundreds of bone spikes erupted all over the Soaring Palace Hallâs surroundings and pierced all the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm attackers. However, the attacks were not as vicious as the one that targeted Cui Jin. These bone spikes only deprived the attackers of their combat prowess, piercing through their bodies and dangling them high in the sky as if displaying the attackers to the public as a warning.
As the bone spikes grew, they formed a terrifying cluster of bone saber mountains. This scared everyone in the surroundings.
When the bone mountains appeared, Gao Xianzhi, Mo Yike, and Meng Tai seemed to have guessed something, joy lighting up their faces.
âBefore the Han Nation flourishes, how can we bear to see our beloved official perish? Chen Tianshan, you have worked hard over the past five years!â A powerful voice came from the cluster of bone mountains.
