99: Chapter 99 The Necromancer God, the Wraith Knight Who Burns His Soul.

When they saw Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, two figures well-known to every fellow countryman, Zhou Wu and the others' eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

"Nezha?"

"Lei Zhenzi?"

"This Xu Xuan actually has two Divine Generals!?"

Obtaining a Divine General was extremely difficult; one had to complete high-difficulty challenges to even have a chance.

Furthermore, the difficulty requirements varied for each era.

For instance, completing an 'impossible' task during the Primitive Tribe era would certainly not be considered difficult if completed during the Spiritual Qi Recovery era.

It could be said that obtaining Divine General rewards depended on the current era and the combat difficulty.

For example, if a lord took 100 savages and defeated 1,000 Goblins, they would definitely be able to obtain a Divine General.

But if a lord from the Firearms Era used 100 musketeers to kill 1,000 Goblins, it would basically be a slaughter, and they wouldn't receive any reward at all.

As soon as Nezha and Lei Zhenzi acted, it could be said they were the envy of everyone present.

However, Grand Preceptor Wen, Chi You, Xing Tian, Su Daji, and the others were still on the island; if they all mobilized, one could only wonder how those Great Xia Lords would feel.

Turning the focus to the Floating Island, the Undead Legion's surprise attack was originally intended to take the island and destroy the 11 psionic cannons.

But they hadn't expected that Xu Xuan was the only lord on the field who had stepped into the Spiritual Qi Recovery era.

Tens of thousands of Floating Bones surged onto the city walls, only to face 2,000 super soldiers led by Hu Zi Mei.

This group of infantrymen, clad in lamellar armor, were mostly bare-handed, yet they could strike with punches that created sonic booms!

Their fist winds were fierce, striking out air tremors from a distance that shattered the incoming Floating Bones into dust from meters away.

This Battle Qi Legion, including Hu Zi Mei, exerted unexpected effectiveness; facing the Floating Bones attacking from all directions, they firmly held the 11 psionic cannons on the city walls.

Standing on a high tower, Xu Xuan stroked his chin thoughtfully: "While Divine Generals are invincible in duels, their ability to handle crowds varies due to the shackles of their eras. Fortunately, I have a group of Battle Qi soldiers."

Among the Divine Generals, everyone's skills and habits were different.

For instance, Lei Zhenzi, relying on his Wind and Thunder Wings, could launch wide-range attacks and intercept large swaths of enemies.

A Divine General like Nezha, on the other hand, was better suited for dueling enemy commanders.

Then there were Chi You and Xing Tian; these two great gods were more suited for leading soldiers in a charge.

Grand Preceptor Wen was also skilled in dueling but could also summon wide-range Five Elements Techniques.

Su Daji was used for reconnaissance, infiltration, and assassination.

Divine Generals were nearly invincible on the battlefield, but this was a battlefield on the scale of millions; they couldn't possibly stop the enemy's entire army of a million.

To summarize, Divine Generals were better suited for execution-style decapitation missions—taking the enemy general's head from within an army of millions.

If it truly came down to defense and protecting the Floating Island, one still needed 'line-fillers'.

At this moment, the Battle Qi Legion formed a rare defensive line, blocking the pouncing Floating Bones.

Seeing that they couldn't take the psionic cannons, some of the Floating Bones turned and began to fly toward Xu Xuan.

Looking at those things that didn't know their own limits, Xu Xuan didn't want to publicly expose his Xuanyuan Sword protection ability, so he spoke faintly: "Daji."

"Your servant is here, My~ King."

Su Daji's voice always carried a tingling sensation, so seductive it was practically dripping.

With a flick of her hand, Su Daji threw out a dagger; the high-speed spinning blade shattered all the approaching Floating Bones.

On the big screen, Xu Xuan sat so calmly atop the high tower, with an incomparably beautiful woman by his side.

Looking at Su Daji in the live broadcast, many people didn't realize that this beauty was the famous Nine-Tailed Fox.

After all, Su Daji had hidden her nine tails; looking only at her appearance, they just felt this ancient beauty was stunning and could never guess who she was.

In contrast, Nezha's red bellyband, Wind and Fire Wheels, and fire-tipped spear, or Lei Zhenzi's green skin, massive wings, and 6.6-meter height, were easily recognized by their countrymen as specific Divine Generals.

Xu Xuan's expression in the image was indifferent, like a chess player playing against the Undead Evil God.

The deity behind the Undead Legion clearly also saw Xu Xuan's Floating Island as a thorn in its side.

Behind the Gate of White Bone, within that endless, profound darkness, a pair of large eyes watched the battlefield.

The Undead deity was somewhat displeased: "This brat on the human Floating Island is truly troublesome; he must be killed first!"

When these words drifted out from the Gate of White Bone, everyone present could hear that raspy voice.

The voice seemed to come from rotting vocal cords; as soon as it spoke, it made people feel a sense of lifeless decrepitude.

As the Undead deity spoke these words, the 10 Death Knights who had been bombarded until they couldn't stand suddenly began to change their strategy.

On the necks of these headless knights, raging blue flames ignited, forming skulls made of necromantic fire.

Accompanied by a roar, these Death Knights began to charge toward the Floating Island.

[Announcement: The Death Knights have evolved into Wraith Knights at the cost of burning their souls! All lords, please take precautions!]

Seeing the 10 Death Knights turn into Wraith Knights, it seemed they had felt their main god's dissatisfaction.

As lead generals, their command had been ineffective; even if they fled back, they would end up with no place to be buried.

If their souls fell into that deity's hands, the Necromancer God Lord would make them understand the meaning of a fate worse than death!

In their world, there was a type of torture called 'silk-peeling', which involved pulling the soul out bit by bit; the entire process allowed one to experience the agony of a tearing soul.

Knowing they couldn't go back, these Death Knights directly ignited their own souls, throwing caution to the wind and launching a suicidal charge.

Rather than having their souls captured and tortured by the deity, it was better to ignite themselves and fight to their heart's content!

The Death Knights—no, they should be called Wraith Knights now.

They erupted with terrifying combat power; the soldiers in their path scattered in fear, one after another, not daring to intercept them.

Below the Floating Island, Zhou Wu saw those flaming skulls; in that moment, he felt a flicker of hesitation and took a few steps back.

However, the target of these 10 Wraith Knights was not them, but Xu Xuan!

The 10 Wraith Knights leaped onto the Floating Island, their goal aimed directly at Xu Xuan himself, who was sitting on the high platform.

Beside him, Su Daji hurriedly spoke: "My King, be careful!"

Yet at this moment, Xu Xuan remained calm: "I have nowhere to run, so where could I hide? Fleeing before the battle would only affect morale."

"No matter. With all of you here, what do I have to fear?"

He still sat leisurely upon the high platform, while waving his hand: "Generals, stop them!"

Chi You erupted with a battle cry, intercepting several Wraith Knights with a powerful collision.

Xing Tian charged with his shield raised, also blocking a few.

However, the Wraith Knights who were knocked head over heels did not linger to fight; their goal remained singular—Xu Xuan!
