Chapter 298
"I understand…" Even though it seemed absurd, Shangyang Jun understood what kind of existence Lu Sheng was .
He had heard of the Prime Devil Sect before . A sect that once had its shining moments during a Devil Disaster, but had long since fallen from glory .
But still… reaching this level solely because of some secret arts that were perfectly suited for him? Even some of the most powerful Divine Weapon Masters couldn't even compare to him when they were his age!
Shangyang Jun still had doubts in his mind, but faced with someone even more powerful than him, he decided to keep those to himself . Even though he didn't know what Divine Weapon Lu Sheng integrated with, his Devil Master level power meant that he should be befriended at all cost .
"Then Brother Lu, the Devil General Roxim…" Shangyang Jun asked hesitantly .
"I'll take care of him . " Lu Sheng wasn't going to let his dinner escape him . "The headquarters of the Prime Devil Sect is nearby . If there's any problems, you can send a messenger . "
"Alright…" Shangyang Jun stopped the small talk, and started to point Lu Sheng in the direction of the West Infinity Court .
Lu Sheng swiftly landed on the ground, standing at the edge of the giant crater created by the battle .
"Tell me, are you still . . . my senior apprentice brother?" He Xiangzi slowly walked out from the crowd, staring at him with a complicated expression .
Lu Sheng looked at Zhan Kongning, Zhan Hongsheng, and the other disciples of the Prime Devil Sect . Umbrella Girl, Xu Chui, and Ning San also followed him immediately, standing behind him .
"After reaching the final stage of the Phantom Listening Devil Body, I searched the ruins of our sect and acquired eight other devil body secret arts by chance . After cultivating in seclusion for a long time, I finally integrated all eight Devil Bodies and created the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way . After evolving it to an unprecedented level, I finally broke through the barrier between Holy Weapon and Divine Weapon Master," Lu Sheng said in a dull voice, staring at He Xiangzi in the eyes .
"So, you tell me . Am I still me?"
He Xiangzi laughed bitterly . Was this even possible?
"Master… if master was here, he would surely make you the new sect master . "
Cultivating the Phantom Listening Devil Body, along with eight other Bodies, to the final stage was a feat previously unheard of . Even a Devil Master reborn couldn't guarantee that he could do this in such a short period of time .
This level of talent couldn't be described as simply just horrifying . The word "monster" would be more suitable .
"Let's be on our way… to the West Infinity Court . " Lu Sheng didn't waste his time with nonsense . He went through the crowd in the direction of the West Infinity Court .
The rest of the Prime Devil Sect hurriedly followed .
Shangyang Jun slowly flew down from the sky . The remaining few Judges instantly flocked to his side .
"Who would have thought… that within the Hundred Lineages existed someone with such a horrifying level of power . " He still couldn't make any sense of what had just happened .
Within a sect, a place built for the sole purpose of learning secret arts, a place without Divine Weapons, somehow produced a monster that cultivated the prime devil secret arts to an unprecedented level, and would probably never be surpassed in the future .
"Maybe he was in control of a Holy Weapon, and found a Divine Weapon to integrate with?" Shangyang Shenyan theorized .
"Still too strong . He's approaching the strength of the Devil Master that was the strategic weapon of this empire . He's at the pinnacle of Divine Masters in the Song Empire . " Shangyang Jun shook his head .
The two men surveyed their surroundings, noticing the the Alliance Army soldiers scattered by the shock wave . The auxiliary teams had moved in to take care of the aftermath . Wave after wave of soldiers was carried away, all moving toward the cluster of tents for medical treatment .
"At least one Gate of Flesh and Blood is closed, but there are many more places around the Nine Cities . A total of three gates, and the rest probably…" Shangyang Jun said with exhaustion . "Regardless, let's take care of this mess first . You go gather any soldiers and survivors; take care of the rest like we did the last Devil Disaster . "
"Yes, Sir!" Shangyang Shenyan nodded .
"And now… this is our battle…" Shangyang Jun's eyes fell out of focus . Even though the Grand Marshall had been captured, the Third Devil Spirit, Huang Fu, had escaped into the forest, and was still unaccounted for . Faced with someone also at the Divine Weapon Master level, Shangyang Jun couldn't let him roam freely .
Most of the areas under attack this time within the Nine Cities were mostly under the Shangyang Family's control—aside from White Bell City and two other cities that were jointly managed by the Hundred Lineages . The rest of the cities, along with an important central city, had also suffered from Devil Disasters .
This was only one small battle in the grand scheme of things . If not for the battle between Grand Marshall Roxim and Lu Sheng, the Gate of Flesh and Blood would have opened successfully . The only outcome to follow if that had happened would be the collapse of the Alliance Army and all other contingency plans .
"Speaking of which, if not for this man from the Prime Devil Sect, even I couldn't have salvaged the situation . " Shangyang Jun sighed . "The Shangyang Family owes him a big favor . "
If the Gate of Flesh and Blood successfully opened, and the Devil Master within directly attacked him . . .
Shangyang Jun suddenly didn't want to continue his line of thought .
Shangyang Shenyan's face was also solemn . As top level personnel within the Shangyang Family, they both understood how much they owed Lu Sheng .

The West Infinity Court .
The enormous castle-shaped city was covered in a deathly silence .
Strands of black Devil Qi flowed in the air . The sun was covered by dark clouds, and the rays of light that managed to penetrate through seemed to be covered by thick cloth, lifeless .
North Ning Street, Verdant Jade Road .
The empty street was covered by crimson-colored minced body parts .
In the dark corners of the streets squated a few strange creatures . Their lower body consisted of only black mist, while their upper body only had two hands and a head . These demonic creatures gathered with their backs to the light, wolfing down the rotten bodies after ripping them apart .
The air was filled with the strong, rotten smell of dead bodies, with a hint of burnt flesh .
"Hiss . . . "
Suddenly, one of the monsters lifted its horrific head, and peered at the end of the street .
