Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 720: Breaking Through

A thick wave of darkness suddenly burst out from Haster's transformed body.

It spread across the battlefield like a raging storm and rushed toward the Allied Army at terrifying speed. The black mist swallowed everything in its path while the surrounding miasma became even denser. The temperature seemed to drop as the strange darkness carried an unsettling pressure that made everyone's hearts tighten.

"Get back!"

One commander immediately shouted.

Several experts quickly raised their barriers.

However...

A Transcendent Knight standing near the front was just a little too slow.The darkness brushed across his shoulder.

At first, nothing happened.

The knight frowned and instinctively took a step back.Then his body suddenly trembled.

His breathing became heavier.

The veins on his neck bulged while his eyes rapidly filled with bloodshot lines. He grabbed his own head with both hands as though struggling against something inside his mind.

"What... is happening..."

His voice became rough and broken.

"No..."

"No..."

His body shook violently.

Then his pupils suddenly lost focus.

A strange smile slowly appeared across his face.

The next instant, he let out a hoarse roar and turned toward the people standing beside him.

Without warning, he swung his sword.

Clang!

The nearby commander barely managed to block the attack.

"What are you doing?"

The Transcendent Knight did not answer.

His eyes had become completely empty while black mist slowly leaked from the corners of his eyes and mouth.

He attacked again.

And again.

Every strike became more savage than the last.

Several others who had been touched by the darkness soon began showing the same symptoms.

Some dropped their weapons before suddenly screaming in pain.

Others staggered backward while desperately trying to stay conscious.

Within moments...

They also lost control.

They turned on everyone around them without caring who they attacked.

The orderly formation immediately fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Emperor Ezekiel's expression turned cold.

"What useless fools."

He casually raised his sword.

A single red flash swept across the battlefield.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The corrupted Transcendent Knights were instantly knocked away by the flat of his blade. They crashed across the rocky ground and rolled dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop.

He had not killed them.He had simply removed them from the battlefield.

At the same time, Queen Ophelia immediately stepped forward.

"Formation."

The Eldoria Grand Mages behind her moved without hesitation.

Hundreds of staffs rose together.

Bright white magic gathered above them before spreading outward into a massive protective barrier.

The holy light surrounded the Allied Army and forced the darkness away from those inside.

The advancing black mist repeatedly struck the barrier but failed to enter.

For a brief moment...

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Queen Ophelia's expression suddenly changed.

She looked beyond the barrier.

Her voice became noticeably heavier.

"Many are outside..."

Those simple words immediately made everyone's expressions darken.

Many soldiers...

Scouts...

And wounded men had not reached the barrier in time.They remained outside, surrounded by the spreading darkness.

Before anyone could react...

Haster suddenly threw back his head and laughed wildly.

"Hahahahah!"

"You can't stop this with a simple barrier."

"It will slowly corrode the magic."

"It's over."

As though responding to his words, the darkness continued pressing against the barrier without stopping.

The black mist swirled around the entire battlefield and completely blocked everyone's vision.

Soon...

They could barely see a few meters ahead.

The valley became silent.

Nobody knew what was hiding inside the darkness.

Many commanders tightened their grips on their weapons.

Just as everyone was wondering what to do...

SWISHH!

A brilliant beam of light suddenly tore through the endless darkness.

The entire valley violently shook.

The dazzling light sliced straight through the black mist, forcing it apart and opening a clear path through the darkness.

The surrounding miasma rapidly retreated wherever the light passed.

Everyone stared in complete shock.

Even Haster's countless eyes suddenly narrowed.

"What..."

He looked toward the end of the shining path.

A lone figure slowly walked forward.

Every step radiated a strange auster and every step caused more darkness to retreat.

The figure was covered in shining armor formed entirely from radiant light. Brilliant white energy flowed across every piece of the armor while the surrounding darkness struggled to approach him.

The moment Haster recognized the person...

His hateful gaze instantly twisted with fury.

"YOUUUUUUU!"

His furious roar shook the entire valley.

Everyone instinctively turned toward the direction Haster was staring.

There...

Walking through the path carved by the light was Ethan.

The radiant armor surrounding him shone like a beacon within the endless darkness as he calmly advanced toward Haster.

Haster's face immediately distorted with rage.

"Kill him!"

The moment the order was given, several Transcendent monsters and corrupted experts exploded forward from both sides.

They rushed toward Ethan from every direction.

Ethan never slowed down.

He simply continued walking.

Dense light rapidly gathered around his body.

The radiance became brighter and brighter until it was almost impossible to look at directly.

Then...

BOOM!

A catastrophic burst of holy light erupted outward.A massive wave of radiant energy swept across the battlefield like a tidal wave.

The charging enemies were struck head-on.

The overwhelming shockwave hurled them backward through the air before they crashed heavily across the rocky ground, scattering in every direction.

Ethan continued walking forward without stopping.

The radiant armor covering his body shone brighter with every step while the surrounding darkness continued retreating before him. The holy light cut through the thick miasma and opened a clear path across the battlefield. Countless eyes remained fixed on him as the pressure surrounding his body steadily increased.

Then...

Ethan slowly closed his eyes.

He no longer held anything back.

Every remaining fragment of Knight Insight that he had comprehended over the years surged out at the same time.

Boom!

A terrifying wave of sword intent exploded from his body.

The ground beneath his feet shattered as countless cracks spread in every direction. Brilliant pillars of light shot into the sky while the surrounding miasma was violently pushed back. Dust, broken rocks, and fragments of earth were thrown into the air as the ground continued to tremble beneath everyone's feet. The pressure sweeping across the battlefield instantly climbed to another level, making countless soldiers instinctively step back. Everyone's expressions changed as they stared at Ethan in disbelief.

"He is..."

"Breaking through?"
