Chapter 797: Chapter 617 Divine Firmament Thunder + Chapter 618 Yang Guan Triple Layers_2
If not for killing General Mingyu and learning the Ten Thousand Transformation Profound Skill, gaining the ability to imitate Xue Mingyue by transforming into an unyielding and unbreakable tortoise shell, enduring a thunderbolt like this would have left half his body charred. Even if he avoided severe injuries, the pain would still be unbearable.
But now?
It’s merely a drizzle.
After taking two successive thunderbolts, his subcutaneous tissues suffered burns. Although the injuries were minor and hardly affected his movements, Zhou Ping’an was furious at being struck by lightning.
The pain was excruciating.
In that moment, with his wings slightly spread, he advanced instead of retreating.
If you’re going to act, act boldly.
Facing the overwhelming torrent of thunderous light.
He took another direct hit from a purple thunderbolt. His body ignited, flames boiling up, and with a sudden blade strike, he soared into the sky.
"Urgh..."
The Wind Thunder General pursued closely, trailing right behind him. Just as he caught up with Zhou Ping’an, he was met head-on with a dazzling blade light.
He barely had time to raise his sword to block.
But his defense hit nothing but air.
Before his sword light could even swing into motion, that blade strike, which fused into the wind and tore through the void, had already sliced upward from between his legs to the top of his head.
"Such a fast blade."
Splash...
A fountain of blood sprayed forth.
The Wind Thunder General, Lei Dong, paused briefly in mid-air before his body split into two halves and fell to the ground.
Another martial skill transformed into a stream of light and surged into Zhou Ping’an’s mind.
"Good."
His heart surged with joy.
Previously, when he had killed Qi Yunzi and others, he gained nothing—not even a strand of hair. Zhou Ping’an had assumed that within this trial, a person could only kill one general and inherit one of their secret martial arts techniques.
That killing additional individuals would be pointless.
But it turned out it wasn’t about killing too many; it was about not killing the right people...
Qi Yunzi, the five other generals, and even King Liang’s princely heir—none of their abilities were worthy enough to activate the trial’s inheritance mechanism.
Utter disappointment.
Zhou Ping’an burst into hearty laughter.
He didn’t even bother to examine what kind of secret technique he had inherited from the Wind Thunder General.
Spreading his massive wings rapidly, he soared across several hundred meters.
A prickling sense of danger loomed over him.
He knew that if he didn’t quickly leave and rush into the Hidden Dragon Formation, disaster would soon befall him.

"Ooooh..."
As he fled.
Seeing Hidden Dragon Pass growing closer and closer, in the next moment, he would dart into the garrison city.
Before Zhou Ping’an could even let a trace of joy surface in his heart, he suddenly heard a mournful and plaintive sound of a xiao flute.
The flute music pierced his ears and seeped into his heart.
Instantly, he was swept into the bleak and desolate imagery of a boundless desert, shrouded in the haunting cold of a battlefield where corpses lay wrapped in horse hides.
Before his eyes, the city vanished.
The night sky and the scattered stars disappeared.
All he could see was the sight of countless bodies strewn across the ground, vultures soaring and diving, devouring flesh...
Tattered banners flapped wildly in the western wind, seemingly revealing hints of the brutal battle that occurred not long ago.
At this moment, Zhou Ping’an seemed to have forgotten that he was still at the trial’s gates in front of Hidden Dragon Pass.
He had forgotten his identity and his purpose.
Now he only felt that he, too, should be among the corpses lying in the sand dunes that stretched on for miles. That he had no right to be alive...
Looking back.
His homeland remained unchanged.
But alas, he no longer had the face to see his loved ones.
"An illusory realm. Such a powerful xiao flute sound—what law is this?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Zhou Ping’an was not unprepared during these past days.
According to what he learned from Princess Shen Bi, the Beiliang Camp was suspected to have two Divine Martial Realm Venerables as protectors.
These two Divine Martial figures had only watched from afar, not making a move. But from covert information extracted from spies before they died, it could be deduced that these two were likely Taoist Chong Guang of the Three Mountains Seal and Venerable Jiyuan of the Jade Cloud Flute.
Based on Shen Bi’s description.
Even though the opposing side had such senior experts protecting them, they were unlikely to intervene.
In battles between two armies, soldiers fought soldiers, generals fought generals, and it was almost unheard of for someone to step outside these boundaries and engage in unequal duels.
Nor was it possible for them to intervene so early during the assault on the sixth gate, Hidden Dragon Pass.
Zhou Ping’an didn’t fully agree with this view.
The so-called "unnecessary intervention" meant there was no reason for them to get involved.
With victory on their side and the upper hand in the overall situation, they could naturally remain spectators, delighting in watching from afar without needing to act directly.
But when heavy casualties accumulate and the tides shift against them, let’s see if they remain uninvolved then.
With this in mind.
Zhou Ping’an had already anticipated that his return journey to the Hidden Dragon Formation might be fraught with danger.
But he still believed that this assassination attempt was highly necessary.
Killing General Mingyu might already count as a significantly rewarding achievement.
However, when compared to the trial’s reward—the Heavenly Wisdom Divine Light—as well as subsequent body-refining techniques and the Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices Enlightenment Method, Mingyu General’s inheritance wasn’t weighty enough.
At this point, having reached the crux of the battle.
To stop hoping for the ultimate victory would be excessively timid.
With the strength to stand at the pinnacle of his peers, bolstered by the newly mastered Ten Thousand Transformation Profound Skill’s Undefeatable Golden Body, Zhou Ping’an was confident that even if faced with a Divine Martial Realm Venerable, his survival wouldn’t be so easily dismissed.
This was the perfect opportunity.
The instant the xiao flute’s melody rang out.
As the illusion appeared before Zhou Ping’an’s eyes, his heightened vigilance kicked in, and within his Sea of Consciousness, his Lotus Shadow Substitute had already transformed into a phantom, enveloping him.
Pop...
Like piercing through a delicate sheet of paper.
The Substitute Lotus Shadow disseminated into powder-like fragments under the flute’s melody.
Zhou Ping’an’s body, as if lifted by a tempest, soared and resumed its flight, heading toward the city gates.
Only twenty meters left.
In just the blink of an eye, he could enter the formation.
Boom...
The sky abruptly dimmed, devoid of stars or moonlight.
Three towering peaks descended from above.
It was Taoist Chong Guang, waiting outside the city gates, who had already unleashed the Three Mountains Seal, hammering down from the heavens.
"There’s no time."
A sharp gleam flashed in Zhou Ping’an’s eyes as he ceased his forward flight; the path ahead was completely sealed off, and the Three Mountains Seal was already pressing down on him.
