Chapter 558: Chapter 560: Stone Statue


    Monarch Level is certainly Monarch Level Soul Bead, and King Level is definitely King Level; the only possible variation could be in quality!


    The problem is, I clearly killed a Giant Ridge General of King Level, so how did I collect a Monarch Level Soul Bead?


    Could it be that these Giant Ridge Generals are just Monarch Level, possessing immense power to contend with King Level Realm Experts due to some strange divine force?


    Are there such Heavenly God powers in this world?


    “Demon Awakening Fruit.”


    Suddenly, Zhu Minng remembered such a thing, a fruit that, once consumed, could greatly enhance the power of a Mourning Dragon.


    Could it be that these Giant Ridge Generals also consumed something simr, which made them powerful and invincible?


    If the Absolute Ridge Chengbang had possessed such formidable power from the beginning, they could have ttened Li Chuan long ago, and when they bordered the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, they could have plundered at will, with no need to take those major forces and state nations into consideration.


    However, it was after the emergence of the World Dragon Gate that the Absolute Ridge Chengbang became extraordinarily active, even directly challenging the dignity of the Supreme Court Empire. This could mean that the Time Wave of the World Dragon Gate caused a rapid growth of their demonic fruit, and by consuming this fruit, they could transform into these Giant Ridge God wills!


    It turns out it’s not the Power of God and Mortality!<div>


    “If there is a way to destroy the source of this demonic fruit, these Giant Ridge Generals would no longer be a cause for concern,” Zhu Minng thought seriously.


    Of course, Zhu Minng doesn’t yet know what exactly the other party is using; it’s possible that it’s not something consumable simr to the Demon Awakening Fruit, maybe it’s the Summoning Demon Sect’s possession?


    If only I knew how they obtained this strange power of the Ridge Generals, there wouldn’t be much suspense in this battle.


    …


    Zhu Minng walked over to the body of Mo Hu, the Giant Ridge General, and inspected it carefully.


    By now, this Giant Ridge General had reverted to a normal human state, and Zhu Minng noticed that his skin was extremely dry, cracking like porcin y that had been fired in a kiln, devoid of any vitality or sticity. As his corpse began to stiffen after death, Mo Hu turned into a stone statue.


    It’s unclear whether this petrification of the Giant Ridge Generals after death is concealing something, but Zhu Minng didn’t find anything particrly noteworthy on the corpse.


    Dead, petrified, starting to be like a stone statue.


    Zhu Minng returned to the narrow path, looked at the bones of other Giant Ridge Generals, and found that all of these illusory Giant Ridge Generals seemed to end up the same way.


    “Ohhh!!!!”


    The roar of a Dragon Beast echoed through the mist, and the mes of Purgatory turned into a long river.


    Within this river of fire, the Refining Ash ck Dragon, with its lustrous ck scales, charged through the mes, battling among a group of Giant Ridge Generals. Now d in Meltfire Heavy Armor and possessing Predator’s Wild Breath and fierce bravery, its power wasparable to those at Peak Monarch Level, and the weaker Giant Ridge Generals were no match for it.


    Big ck Tooth indeed excels in battlefieldbat; from being initially defeated by the Silver Rock Giant Ridge General until now, being able to challenge a group, the improvement has been quite considerable.


    If Big ck Tooth’s Cultivation Base could be elevated a bit more, reaching the true Peak, then on this battlefield, it could be utterly unstoppable, invincible, unless faced by King Level Realm Experts.


    The more Big ck Tooth fought, the braver it got; the previous setback didn’t affect it at all. Many Divine and Mortal cultivators skilled in long-range attacks also gathered around the Refining Ash ck Dragon, relying on this ck Dragon’s strong and brave physique to confront the Giant Ridge Generals.


    Zhu Minng saw Big ck Tooth mingling seamlessly with other forces’ God and Mortal beings and simply let it y its role freely.


    After walking a certain distance, Zhu Minng caught sight of a familiar figure. She was facing arge group of Silver Rock Giant Ridge Generals who were about to surround her. Suddenly, a Fire Kirin Dragon erupted into the fray!


    The Fire Kirin Dragon was domineering and boundless. It stomped on the decaying ground, and mes rolled like towering waves.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    As it slightly raised its head, one could see a rain of fire descending from the sky, giving those Giant Ridge Generals a scorching baptism.<div>


    “Hmph, nothing but pawns andckeys!” Nan Yuso stood her ground, with a smooth and alluring Chi Dragon by her side. Its slick skin even resembled that of a woman’s.


    The Chi Dragon was beautiful and enchanting. It exhaled pink Dragon Breath, and one could see the approaching Giant Ridge Generals bing utterly infatuated and suddenly turning on each other.


    Their minds werepletely bewildered.


    “Miss Yu So, join me. Let’s not separate,” Zhu Minng approached Nan Yuso.<div>


    These Giant Ridge Generals were much stronger than imagined, especially considering this was just a surprise attack force, not the main army.


    Zhu Minng had promised Li Xinghua to take good care of everyone. If Nan Yuso encountered the likes of Mo Hu, a Golden Giant Ridge General, she might have trouble dealing with him.


    “Where is your dragon?” Nan Yuso looked at Zhu Minng and noticed that there were no dragons by his side.


    “Don’t worry, they’re all nearby.” Zhu Minng could sense them.


    The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, Refining Ash ck Dragon, and Sword Spirit Dragon had all been dispatched by Zhu Minng to eliminate enemies in the vicinity, leaving only the Heavenly ughter Dragon by his side.


    The Heavenly ughter Dragon was Zhu Minng’s trump card, and he would not easily reveal its presence.


    Of course, if they encountered another isted and headstrong Golden Giant Ridge General like Mo Hu, Zhu Minng would not hesitate to execute him.


    For King-level strongmen, taking them down by surprise was paramount. Killing them after they realized his true strength would make the task much more difficult.


    …


    The close-quarter killing did notst long, as there weren’t many on either side, and in this kind of narrow valley space with only front and back, the oue was quickly determined.


    Dead bodies were everywhere, clearly in two distinct states.


    They were either a bloody mess or a pile of scattered stone statues.


    In terms of strength, the team of cultivators led by Zhu Minng was stronger, all of them above the Monarch Level cultivation base. Among the Giant Ridge Generals, not all of them could turn into Silver Rock Giant Ridge Generals or Gold Tower Giant Ridge Generals. Most were Stone Ridge Giant Generals, standing three to four meters tall, enclosedpletely in bronze stone armor.<div>


    “We also lost quite a few. I didn’t expect that just two thousand Giant Ridge Generals could be so powerful in battle. If they were in our Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, I fear two thousand men could tten a chengbang,” said the head of the Purple Sect n, briefly reporting to Zhu Minng.


    About half had died, leaving them with less than three hundred people now.


    This was after Zhu Minng had killed one of the Golden Giant Ridge Generals first; still, so many had fallen on their side.


    “We can’t dy any longer, let’s move forward,” said Zhao ChiShun from the Royal Family.
