Chapter 302
Chapter Title: Assault on the Heavenly Palace
Heavenly Realm
As we scaled the outer walls of the imperial palace and slipped inside, I spotted the White Lotus Cult's Water Deity Corps elites charging at the palace guards up ahead. The guards' commander waved his hand and bellowed.
"Stop the invaders!!"
Watching from a slight distance behind, I let out a groan when I saw thousands of palace guards assembled in the vast plaza.
'So many!'
And every one of them was properly armed and trained in formal martial arts! The pressure they exerted, arrayed in formation like an unmovable mountain, was immense. Meanwhile, the Water Deity Corps elites of the White Lotus Cult hurling themselves at those thousands—tens of thousands—of guards numbered only about seven or eight. To anyone watching, it looked like eggs smashing against a rock.
KABOOM!
On top of that, the guards began firing cannons. One of the Water Deity Corps elites failed to dodge an incoming cannonball and took a direct hit. Dozens of blasts poured down on the same spot.
