The eight groups of the Hundred Races attacked six of the ten protector clans first and took back five beast furs. Including the two that had been lost on the Tian Yuan Continent, they had taken back a total of seven beast furs.
After taking back the seven beast furs, the eight groups were unwilling to just let the matter rest. They gathered together and gathered in Mercenary City once more. They hovered above the city and attacked with forbidden artifacts.
Every single one of the eight groups from the Hundred Races had a forbidden artifact on them, ranging from a minimum of two to a maximum of four. A total of over twenty forbidden artifacts bombarded Mercenary City. The terrifying shockwaves of energy caused the ground to tremble and space to be obliterated.
Mercenary City was immediately sealed off due to the invasion. The grand elder of Mercenary City, Tian Jian, personally led a group of elders into the city from an independent space. However, when they saw over two hundred Holy Emperor experts outside the barrier, they all became extremely stern.
Basically all the Holy Emperor experts of the Hundred Races had gathered here. Mercenary City was indeed very powerful, the only organization on the Tian Yuan Continent that could stand on equal footing with the ten protector clans. However, fending off all the Holy Emperor experts of the Hundred Races alone was like trying to strike a rock with an egg.
Mercenary City did not possess an Emperor Armament like the ten protector clans. It only had the divine hall that Mo Tianyun had left behind that could be used for both offense and defense. However, only Saint Emperors could use it.
The fact that the Hundred Races had attacked Mercenary City with over twenty forbidden artifacts shocked all the upper echelon of Mercenary City. All the elders had appeared. The second, third, fourth, and fifth elders were all at the Eighth or Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. The sixth, seventh, and eighth elders were also at the Holy Emperor level. The weakest among them was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor level.
The eight Holy Emperor elders of Mercenary City had all appeared at that moment. They all stared at the sky sternly.
At the same time, six beggar-like old men in linen robes and disheveled hair walked out of a Space Gate in an extremely remote, independent space. Their messy hair covered their appearances, making it impossible to see their faces clearly. Only a few deep wrinkles could be vaguely seen.
As soon as the six beggar-like old men appeared, many elders of Mercenary City immediately cast respectful gazes at them. The six old men were also elders of Mercenary City, but they rarely appeared before the public and never interfered with the matters of Mercenary City. They always cultivated in an independent space, so very few people knew of their existence.
"It's the elders Ku Bai and the others. I never thought they would still be alive …"
"I heard that the six elders were from the same generation as grand elder Tian Jian, and they're even a few years older than grand elder Tian Jian. They've all reached the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor level. They've used ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources to extend their lifespans for two hundred years, which is why they've survived until now. They only have a hundred years left," an elderly Holy Emperor elder of Mercenary City softly said.
In the current world, becoming a Holy Emperor was already an extremely difficult matter. The Holy Emperor experts of every race were gradually declining, especially the ten protector clans and Mercenary City. The inheritance of Holy Emperor experts had never stopped since ancient times. Whenever a Holy Emperor passed away, a new Holy Emperor would be born. There had never been a break in the inheritance.
But now, whether it was the protector clans or Mercenary City, the Holy Emperor experts had all ceased to exist for over ten thousand years. The only Holy Emperor, the path lord of carnal desires, had betrayed the Pure Heart Pavilion and created the path of the seven emotions and six desires before becoming a Holy Emperor.
As a result, in the current world where Holy Emperors were rare, Holy Emperor experts at Great Perfection were basically invincible existences. Including Tian Jian, Mercenary City had seven Holy Emperor experts at Great Perfection. Their heritage was far greater than any protector clan's.
The six beggar-like Holy Emperor experts at Great Perfection stood side by side. Although they did not give off any presences at all, they seemed to have fused with the world, becoming a miniature world. It was as if they represented the heavens as a pressing pressure radiated from them.
The eyes of the six of them were like torches. Although they were extremely old, they were full of energy. Their sharp gazes seemed to have transformed into sharp swords that shot out like lightning, causing the space in front of them to slightly distort.
"What's wrong with the Hundred Races? They're actually attacking our Mercenary City."
"Looks like the Hundred Races have been living too peacefully. We can't just let this matter slide. We have to gather all the experts in the world and suppress the Hundred Races together."
…
A few Saint Ruler elders of Mercenary City all spoke in righteous indignation. They were all furious.
The Holy Emperor elders of Mercenary City all stared at the Hundred Races who constantly attacked the barrier. They remained silent, but a cold light flickered through their eyes. Over two hundred experts had come this time, and they were all Holy Emperor. They had brought over twenty forbidden artifacts as well. This force was not something the Holy Emperor experts of Mercenary City could contend against. They could only rely on their heritage from ancient times to protect themselves.
"They won't be able to get through the barrier. Even if Saint Emperors personally come, they won't be able to invade Mercenary City. Immediately contact the ten protector clans, the various ancient clans, and the people of the three great empires. The experts of the Hundred Races are invading, so get them to provide assistance as soon as possible and protect the dignity of our continent," Tian Jian said. He was extremely composed.
"Yes, grand elder!"
The news of the Hundred Races invading Mercenary City was spread to the protector clans, the ancient clans, and the three empires through a secret technique. It immediately led to a huge uproar. The Yiyuan sect, Heartless Sect, Changyang Prefecture, and Pure Heart Pavilion that had not been attacked all sent out their experts. They directly ripped open space and hurried over as reinforcements.
The five protector clans that had lost their beast furs were even more straightforward. They all hurried to Mercenary City with their injured bodies and Emperor Armaments. They swore that they would fight the Hundred Races to the death because not only had the Hundred Races taken away the beast furs after destroying their divine halls, they had also plundered the place. They had taken away a large number of treasures, causing them to suffer extremely heavy losses.
Even the ancient clans and the three empires sent the Holy Emperor as reinforcements. Only the people from the Tyrant's Blade School did not appear.
At the same time, the barrier of Mercenary City showed its might as well. The entire barrier became even brighter than usual. It did not attack the experts of the Hundred Races, but instead reflected all the attacks that the experts of the Hundred Races sent at the barrier.
The forbidden artifacts of the Hundred Races were treasures that had been passed down since ancient times. They were the weapons of the Holy Emperor in the past and were extremely powerful. Now that they were controlled by several Holy Emperor experts, every single one of them could unleash an attack that was equivalent to an attack from a Holy Emperor. The barrier of Mercenary City reflected all the attacks, which was equivalent to over twenty Holy Emperor experts attacking the Hundred Races.
The Hundred Races were shocked. They immediately used the forbidden artifacts to block the attacks, causing them to become flustered. A few of the weaker people had already become quite injured from the shockwaves of the battle.
"We can't take Mercenary City anymore. Let's go, "an expert of the Hundred Races decisively ordered. The reinforcements from the Tian Yuan Continent had already arrived. They knew that if they stayed, a vicious battle would be unavoidable. The losses would be unimaginable.
The experts of the Hundred Races no longer lingered on the battle. Before the reinforcements could surround them, they ripped open space and left.
The experts of the Hundred Races retreated from the Tian Yuan Continent. However, their invasion this time had without a doubt caused a great disturbance. Although it did not affect the lower class cultivators, the higher class cultivators were extremely shocked. In particular, the five protector clans who had been robbed of a large number of treasures were furious. Their killing intent and fury had reached a boiling point. They swore that they would use all the power of the Tian Yuan Continent to flatten the Hundred Races.
Soon afterward, the representatives of the various peak organizations of the Tian Yuan Continent all headed to Mercenary City. They held a grand meeting that had not been seen in several tens of thousand years, solemnly discussing the invasion of the Hundred Races. Over half of them suggested that they should use all the power of the Tian Yuan Continent to flatten the Hundred Races and avenge their humiliation. Only an extremely small number of people suggested that they should consider the bigger picture and that there was no need for a war. The two sides argued extremely intensely.
In the end, a great elder of the Tyrant's Blade School arrived at Mercenary City. He stated that the Tyrant's Blade School would not participate in the war against the Hundred Races. He also explained that although the Hundred Races had declined, their heritage was so great that they were no weaker than the protector clans. Once they invaded the Hundred Races, the Tian Yuan Continent would definitely suffer heavy losses, which would give the Beast God Continent an opportunity.
A great elder of the Pure Heart Pavilion stepped forward after the Tyrant's Blade School. She said, "The Hundred Races have only invaded the Tian Yuan Continent to take back a few things. They haven't done anything that the world cannot tolerate, so why must we go to war and cause rivers of blood to flow between the two races? Do you really want to see corpses litter the ground before you stop?"
Afterward, the representatives of a few other large organizations voiced their objections. They all had their own reasons and were considering the bigger picture.
In the end, the war against the Hundred Races on the Tian Yuan Continent was forced to come to an end. Without everyone's support, there was no chance of victory at all if half of the continent's forces were sent to invade the Hundred Races.
The Hundred Races had settled down on the Wasteland Continent for so long, so they could be described as deeply rooted. Their heritage was not weak, and each race possessed powerful forbidden artifacts. They had only brought a portion of them this time.
Before long, a secret letter was sent to the representatives of the various organizations, shocking all of them. After attacking Mercenary City, the experts of the Hundred Races had actually gone to the Beast God Continent to attack the Beast God Hall. The three Emperors of the Beast God Hall had all been mobilized. Lankyros was surrounded by three forbidden artifacts and was heavily injured. Several dozen experts who cultivated in the Beast God Hall had gone out to receive the enemy, but over a dozen of them were slain by the forbidden artifacts in the end. All of them were wiped out, and even more were injured.
The battle involved the participation of the Holy Emperor. The battle between the many experts of the Beast God Hall and the two hundred or so Holy Emperor of the Hundred Races was extremely intense. The world shook, and the sun and moon dimmed. Most of the Beast God Continent shook as waves surged into the sky. All the experts who cultivated overseas could sense the terrifying presence.
However, the Hundred Races still did not attack the Beast God Hall. The Beast God Hall was no ordinary divine hall. It had been left behind by the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger. Its defenses were so great that even the Holy Emperor was unable to damage it. The Hundred Races had failed to damage the Beast God Hall even with all their forbidden artifacts. In the end, they could only retreat helplessly after losing over a dozen experts.
The invasion of the Beast God Continent by the Hundred Races immediately shocked all the peak organizations on the Tian Yuan Continent once again. No one had thought that the Hundred Races would be so bold. They had first attacked the headquarters of the ten protector clans and Mercenary City before attacking the Beast God Continent. Were they digging their own graves?
The Beast God Continent was an existence that the Tian Yuan Continent feared. They possessed three Holy Emperor, so who would dare to challenge them?
