From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 561: Chapter 513 National Effort (4K)

“Apocalypse, that was a colossal watershed; any legend who reached the Heavenly Enlightenment Level in the tales possessed enough power to single-handedly destroy a small country.”

“In fact, it was not just a legend but also the grim reality, an experience of despair many people had personally gone through.”

“They were called demi-gods by the common folk, capable of crumbling mountains, churning oceans, collapsing the ground, and controlling thunderstorms at will, and despite still bearing the appearance of mortals, they held power almost divine in the eyes of most.”

Darren paused at this point, then continued.

“Even though those at the Monarch Level were revered, compared to them, whether in terms of strength or knowledge, others were but ignorant children. In fact, the ones who truly left their names in history were those of the Heavenly Enlightenment.”

“At this very moment, nine of the Heavenly Enlightenment have entered our nation, heading straight for the Seven Suns Empire’s Imperial City.”

“Hehehe… Perhaps we will all end up joining the Seven Suns Empire people in death,” he said, revealing a somewhat manic and excited smile.

“Or perhaps it’s those legendary fellows who will end up dying here.”

Inside the palace, Darren narrowed his eyes, silently discussing the current situation with the Fischer family. Before long, they would face the unprecedented war of the Apocalypse.

This war would prematurely decide the entire world’s future course.

Once the Military God of the Seven Suns Empire successfully broke through to the unprecedented Apocalypse Upper Rank, it was feared that even if the nine legendary ones of the Heavenly Enlightenment joined forces, they might not be able to suppress him.

Those of the Heavenly Enlightenment greatly feared his existence; hence, they chose this moment, attacking the Seven Suns Empire’s capital while the Military God was unable to fight, wishing to eliminate him earlier.

Theoretically speaking, now was indeed the best time!

Many people in the Imperial City had been evacuated in advance, and even all those Extraordinary Exponents below the Monarch Level had been reassigned to other tasks and were not considered combat forces.

Even though the official number of Monarch powerful experts in the Seven Suns Empire was significantly lower than that in Lorne, nearly a hundred of these experts were still ready in the Imperial City at this moment.

But how could they withstand the nine Heavenly Enlightenments?

Hecate from the Fischer family pondered in silence.

Nearly a hundred Monarch powerful experts, without the aid of powerful Forbidden rare artifacts, could be annihilated by even one of the Heavenly Enlightenment, though the process would be somewhat strenuous.@@novelbin@@

And even if they had a multitude of strange and numerous Forbidden rare artifacts at their disposal, they were still at a definitive disadvantage…

In fact, there were only two among the Heavenly Enlightenment eligible to fight in the Imperial City.

One was Chris Fischer and the other “person” was a mile-high Deep Green Tree Man.

It was a Tree Man as tall as a mile, its essence as profound as the Spirit of an ancient forest, silently guarding its homeland in another world for thousands of years with its incomparable stature.

The Tree Man’s body was interwoven from millennium-old trees, each inch of its “skin” seemed to contain the mysteries and power of nature; its trunk was thick, its foliage lush, forming a curtain of green that cast a cool, mysterious shadow over the square before the palace.

Its eyes were two clear pools, shimmering with wisdom and serenity, the only among all Extraordinary Exponents possessing a harmony and tranquility that transcended nature.

Its bark was engraved with the scars of time; each crack was a record of past storms and the passage of eras; its limbs were as robust as towering ancient trees, its roots penetrating deeply into the Earth’s crust, not only solidifying its form but also establishing an indivisible connection with this land, allowing it to sense movements in the distance beyond the Imperial City and preempt any potential threats.

During the day, sunlight filtered through its dense canopy, and the dappled light added solemnity to the palace; by night, the Tree Man’s body would emit a soft luminescence, like an eternal lighthouse, bringing profound comfort to everyone’s heart.

The mid-level Tree Man of the Heavenly Enlightenment did not belong to this world but was a supreme Guardian of another realm.

It was once not only a Guardian but also considered the God of Nature by many in that land, a figure equatable to Claud World’s “false god” Sea God.

The giant Tree Man was seen as the embodiment of nature, revered and also cherished by the people.

During festivals, the people from that world would lay flowers and prayers at the foot of the Tree Man, thankful for its protection over the years, and it would respond to this reverence and gratitude by gently swaying its branches, purifying illnesses and soothing pains.

A century ago, it fought side by side with the Military God of the Seven Suns Empire, cleansing its world from pollution and widespread Curse, thus becoming close friends.

It came to Claud World as a token of gratitude, repaying the Military God of the Seven Suns Empire’s kindness.

At this moment, this mile-high, Deep Green Tree Man, with its immortal life force and endless wisdom, has become the most solid barrier before the palace, safeguarding the peace of this land.

At this moment, the people from the Fischer family listened to Felix’s analysis; he raised his hand and pointed to the sky, saying,

“Not even the most supreme barrier can weaken the power of the Apocalypse that much, so the approach was reversed. The Imperial Barrier of the Seven Suns Empire could greatly amplify the strength of their own and their allies.”

As an Extraordinary Exponent on the Path of Forging, Felix had the highest understanding of barriers within the family.
