This situation only changed when the demons lagging at the rear finally arrived.
The twenty-plus level-eight demon “nobles” appeared.
They brought their underlings and joined the fray, drastically shifting the tide.
Cloud Peak began to face immense pressure. These level-eight demons were truly powerful, and their underlings’ levels surpassed those of Cloud Peak’s warriors. Immediately, some Cloud Peak units were broken through, suffering heavy casualties.
A flash of light swept across the battlefield, and all of Cloud Peak’s warriors felt a warm sensation. Looking up, they saw a large white cloud appearing in the dim sky of the Blue Secret Realm, radiating a warm, peaceful aura.
On the battlefield, a woman stood amidst the chaos, holding a crystal-clear orb in her left hand and a staff adorned with a white gem in her right. A solemn yet gentle aura emanated from her.
The light from her staff and orb shot up into the cloud, which then transformed into countless light orbs that descended onto every Cloud Peak warrior.
Heaven Guidance!
At the moment when Cloud Peak’s warriors were hit with a devastating blow, Teacher Park used her newly fused and improved version of Heaven Guidance.
The first piece of equipment was the crystal orb in her left hand, which could integrate skills, allowing her to transform a personal ability into two forms: single-target or group. The second was a card that allowed her to extract an item’s ability and learn it herself.
Pu Xiuying chose to extract Heaven Guidance and make it her own ability, allowing her to use it as either single-target or group healing, depending on the situation.
Of course, the crystal orb, named Goddess’s Gaze, wasn’t omnipotent. It couldn’t turn a powerful single-target healing ability into a group skill without any loss in effectiveness. The group version of Heaven Guidance no longer had the near-resurrection effect, only providing healing.
But even so, the effect was remarkable.
Many Cloud Peak warriors on the brink of death were stabilized and pulled back by their comrades. Those who had lost the ability to fight suddenly regained their strength, and those with minor injuries were instantly healed.
Park Xiuying’s group healing skill single-handedly reversed Cloud Peak’s casualty count!
At the same time, thanks to the Heaven Benevolence’s ability—Heaven Heart—Park Xiuying had a chance to generate an item called Healing Crystals whenever she used a healing ability. Thousands of these crystals were produced with so many people being healed, even with a low probability. These were valuable items—crushing one would provide a healing effect equivalent to being treated by a high-level healer like Park Xiuying. Their worth was self-evident.
Many injured warriors immediately received a second round of healing from the Healing Crystals.
Heaven Guidance covered almost all of Cloud Peak’s warriors, leaving Park Xiuying unable to continue. After drinking a mental recovery potion, the Three-Nosed Elephant carried her and a team of warriors assigned to protect her away from the battlefield. The rest would be left to the other members of the support team.
“Finally here, huh?” Seeing Park Xiuying make her move, Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief. Her unit’s attack direction differed slightly from the main Cloud Peak force—she was heading toward Ye Zhongming. For some reason, despite charging for so long, she still hadn’t found the King of Cloud Peak.
If it weren’t for the starry sky from Starry Sky still ahead, Xia Lei might have thought she had lost track of him.
Seeing the arrival of level eight demons like that Mountain Fierce, Xia Lei immediately ordered all level eight beings in Cloud Peak’s forces to charge at these terrifying creatures.
This was a necessary move. Otherwise, Cloud Peak would surely suffer another devastating attack, and Park Xiuying couldn’t use Heaven’s Guidance a second time.
Liang Chuyin, Mo Ye, Yellow Ball, Xia Lei, Nine Treasures, the Rat King and his wife, Little Tiger, and all of Cloud Peak’s level eight beings charged at their demon monster counterparts.
The first to engage was Mo Ye. Her opponent was a bizarrely shaped demon as if stitched together from several animals—cow, sheep, pig, and dog. Its grotesque form didn’t diminish its strength. It had nearly broken through Young Master Yun’s unit with its thousands of underlings, causing over a thousand Cloud Peak casualties quickly. Even though Park Xiuying’s Heaven Guidance had swiftly arrived, saving many warriors, hundreds had already perished, and dozens more were severely injured, destined to be disabled even if they survived.
This demon wielded eight weapons in its eight arms, making it impossible for ordinary warriors to handle.
Now, after killing many humans, its eight weapons had been replaced with high-level Cloud Peak equipment. Seeing the fully armed Mo Ye, it showed no fear, only greed.
Mo Ye activated her Holy Army Coat. Although it was only blue-grade after modification, its unique properties made it comparable to gold-grade equipment. In her hands was a beautiful spear that had now solidified into a physical form.
At the spear’s tip was a structure perfectly integrated with the main body—the Three-Pointed Spear component Ye Zhongming had found for her.
This equipment, which had three abilities and could turn energy weapons into physical forms while retaining all their original properties, was as valuable as the Hanging Shield Sheng Yuan had obtained.
They hadn’t used it earlier because Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye didn’t want to waste the Three-Pointed Spear’s second ability: the capacity to absorb energy during the fusion process with an energy weapon.
They hadn’t found a suitable method to fulfill this requirement for a long time. Ye Zhongming discovered a natural Death Wind Cave in the Blue Secret Realm not long ago, filled with violent wind energy. It was said that even high-level demons were instantly shredded upon entering.
Mo Ye had extended her spear into the Death Wind Cave to absorb the energy.
The process had only taken thirty seconds, but when she pulled the spear out, the energy within had shocked even the usually calm and composed Mo Ye.
It also gained two highly useful abilities.
This was the first time Mo Ye was unleashing her new weapon at full power.
A massive talisman appeared in the sky, covering a vast area. As it rotated, it seemed something was about to emerge from within. Meanwhile, Mo Ye held her spear in an unusual stance.
The level-eight demon monster looked at the woman standing alone, confidence flashing. Its underlings were no weaklings—dozens at level seven, over a thousand at level six, and the rest at level five.
Even if it didn’t lift a finger, its underlings could probably deal with this human woman.
But soon, it realized it was wrong.
The first to attack wasn’t Mo Ye, but the talisman above. Something was emerging from within, something that silenced the entire battlefield.
