Poison God's Heritage Chapter 549 Invasion

Chapter 549 Invasion

"But why did they have us move away from the Heavenly Academy?" Liang Yu asked.
"Because of her," Dao Shen said as he looked at Yuyu.
Yuyu was flustered from having all eyes look at her but could only sigh as she realized they were right.
"With Dao Shen's ability to hide soul imprint, we're able to hide the imprint of Yuyu and the fact that she's holding one of the keys. And since the Fire Lord is adamant about getting rid of the Heavenly Academy first, he'll send in all his forces there first. So, we're safe for as long as the Heavenly Academy stands,"
We could have been there to help," she said.
"And do what? Most of the heavyweights are leagues above us in cultivation rank, if we go there we'll be nothing but extras who need to be coddled and protected Liang Yu said.
"It's fine, I trust the Heavenly Academy's power, during my reign of terror they were among the forces I didn't want to deal with," Dao Shen said.
"I heard you were pretty… evil," said Meng Hao
"Evil is a strong word, I was free rather. I didn't belong to any force and didn't really like to be told what to do, and occasionally ate a planet or two, so…"
Meng Hao's brows rose and fell down then he sighed, "I feel like I'm making the least progress of us all…"
"Are you insane?" said Dao Shen
"Why?"
"Of all of us, who do you think is the youngest?" he added.
"…"
"Exactly, you're barely thirty of age, and you're already at the peak of the Saint Realm. Do you think it's reasonable to think that you're slow? I'm at least three hundred years of age, and for the two over there," said Dao Shen, and the moment his eyes locked on to their angry eyes he knew better not to speak the age of a woman..
"Let's just say they can be your older sisters… so why do you think you're slow and weak?" he asked.
"Because…"
"Because of Shen Bao? He is far older than you in case you didn't realize," said Dao Shen.
"I'm sure of it, I've known him since he was a Qi condensation cultivator, at that time he was almost at his first century of age, but still he managed to surpass me in cultivation in no time and reach far ahead, he's at the Emperor Rank now, I just felt it," said Meng Hao.
"So? Currently, he's at the beginning of his third century. So why are you comparing yourself to someone who has lived for ten times your age? Just cultivate diligently you're already doing great," Dao Shen said.
Meng Hao swallowed his pride and nodded, "I was too complacent I apologize. I'll need to cultivate more diligently,"
"How goes the resurrection?" asked Yuyu.
"The Queen said it shouldn't be too difficult. Since Yan Er's soul wasn't damaged in the incense Burner, the queen was able to extract her, she's trying to find a body for her that can host the soul and will be able to bring her back."
"Good then, now that you achieved your goal, you must work toward not having to repeat the same tragedy again, Reviving the dead is against the Heavens so it will take a toll on the queen, We must do our best to repay her favor," said Dao Shen.
"I'll keep your words in mind," Meng Hao nodded.

Back at the Heavenly Academy, the Grand Elder and leader of the Heavenly Academy was sighing every now and then.
"What?" Master Rain frowned he was getting more and more annoyed by the occasional sighs of the Grand Elder.
"It's those brats, They really think that just because they got some power, they get to do whatever they want to the peace of the Vast Expanse, I'm really getting more and more annoyed by the second from having to deal with all of their quibblings."
"I'm still surprised you still call him a brat, he's already stronger than you," said Master Rain.
"Just because he's stronger doesn't mean he's wiser, I mean, look at this," said the Grand Elder as he was looking ahead from the main floating island of the heavenly academy.
They were on the top of the main tower gazing upon the starfield in front of them beyond the thick protective barrier of the meteorites surrounding the heavenly academy.
A massive armada of hundreds of thousands of ships surrounded the Heavenly Academy.
"Any other day, anyone would think that the mere thought of going against the Heavenly is suicide, now This brat really is going all out.
"Well, he's in for a rude awakening," said Master Rain, "After all the last time I fought, we fought under his territory and under his term, he had home advantage, now," Master Rain opened his arms wide.
"It's my playground!"
The massive belt of meteorite seemed to stop for a second, and then hundreds of the massive rocks flew out and moved toward the flying ships at incredible speeds.
The Ships realizing that they were in for impact prepared their cannons and began blasting the incoming rocks.
Several ships blew up in the crossfire as the boulders were shattered creating even more debris.
As for the shots that managed to go past and beyond the belt of meteors, they fell helplessly against the thick barrier of remaining meteors protecting the Heavenly Academy disappearing harmlessly into the massive sea of rocks.
The frustration of the Fire Lord could be felt from all the way to the Heavenly Academy, since it's been days that he's been trying to bore through the defenses of the Heavenly Academy to no avail.
The students of the Heavenly Academy were worried in the first couple of days, but seeing the invaders not even progressing a single inch forward caused them to have a more relaxed attitude, now All they saw during the day was the occasional spark of a ship blowing up and during the night the skies lit up as if it was blowing fireworks. As more Ships were destroyed in the process.
"Where is Tsu?" asked the Grand Elder.
"My retainer's been busy lately, I sent him on a mission, you don't have to worry about it," said Master Rain.
"It's a wonder that he's not with you, no matter. At this rate it looks like a frontal confrontation is unavoidable," he added.
"We have the manpower to handle the Fire Lord, most of his Fire Spears are barely at the King Level, besides his top three, and those we can handle between me you, the Queen, and the second Elder," Said Master Rain.
"We should have the upper hand you're right, but something isn't right," said the Grand Elder.
"What is it?" asked Master Rain.
"I don't quite know, since the Fire Lord knows for a fact that he can't take us on with his current power, especially since we outnumber him when it comes to Emperor cultivators, not even Madam Zha or the King of the Galactic societies is joining him right now, so he's in a pinch, and he can't afford to move the Water King since it's currently being pinned by the Wind King. So call it the hunch of an old man, but something isn't right, I feel it," he said.
"MOVE!" the voice of the queen echoed loud enough for all the Heavenly Academy to hear. The voice was pointed at the two of them.
Master Rain and the Grand Elder both had their eyes lit up for a second as if thunder struck through them, Without even speaking they both pivoted toward each other and raised their legs forward then kicked, using both their feet as a point of pressure, and shot aside crossing a dozen mile in a fraction of a second before a ray of concentrated power shot through the top of the Heavenly Academy's tower, completely evaporating it from existence. Leaving the tower with nothing but half of it standing.
The power of the ray was strong enough that it cut and dug into the island ripping a massive gap in it.
Both Master Rain and the Grand Elder looked up and frowned, what was that?
***
"It missed…" The Fire Lord said, "I think I'm missing power, How did that brat manage to get so much power in that thing…" the Fire Lord thought as he was gazing at his finger that was releasing smoke.
"Your Lordship, I congratulate you on creating a new Emperor Level Spell," said the General.
"Create? Hmm, I'm not that arrogant to claim this as mine, it's a replica of something I saw… and it's weak, looking at the distance, this will dissipate in a few hundred of millions of miles, while that brat's metal bullet managed to cross tens of billions of times that distance without losing power, no, it actually was gaining even more momentum…"
"We're still trying to locate him your lordship,"
"Doesn't matter, he'll be coming over soon," the Fire Lord sighed and said, "But I'm really getting bored waiting for him… bring them out, it's time to finish this."
"As your majesty commands."
Soon, three Fire Spears came up to the deck of the ship each carrying a coffin on their backs.
"Go down, and let them loose, you sacrifice will be remembered," the Fire Lord said.
"All for the Fire Lord!" the three of them said and jumped off the ship with the coffins on their backs.
They skillfully dodged the massive boulders and blasted through the remaining ones that blocked their way.
And soon they managed to reach the main protective formation of the heavenly academy.
"We offer our blood to the Fire Lord!" the three of them said and they all drew their spears slashing away at their own necks.
The moment the blood sprayed out of their necks, it stopped mid air and the remaining blood in their body began surging out of their necks, causing the three spears to turn into husks in a second. Then the blood moved as if it was alive and seeped into the coffins.
The three coffins then soon opened up, revealing three corpses.
Two of the corpses were donning the same robe, a red robe with golden dragon symbol.
And both of them had a crown made of pure Red Gold.
As for the last one, who seemed to be of a lower statue, but definitely not any less imposing, he had a distinct mask on his face.
This one had a symbol on his chest that was different from the two.
The corpses then soon began to take note of what was in front of them, their Qi surged and moved then it began rushing out revealing their cultivation ranks.
All three corpses were Emperor Ranks.
And all three of them were Peak Emperors.
