Gales whistled through the world, sweeping up the sand and dust on the ground, causing the space to turn grey. The loud rumbles from the battle between the numerous experts rang out incessantly, almost merging into one. Waves of violent energy turned into circles of terrifying storms that collided in all directions, producing muffled rumbles.
Although the battle had only been going on for a short while, the battlefield was already littered with corpses. Most of the corpses belonged to the four races of the Tian Yuan Continent. Basically all of them were Saint Rulers and Holy Emperors. On the other hand, the weakest Holy Emperor from the World of Forsaken Saints was no weaker than the Holy Emperor from the World of Forsaken Saints. As a result, the number of casualties from the World of Forsaken Saints was less than a tenth of the casualties from the Tian Yuan Continent.
Even the Holy Emperor would struggle to take part in such an intense battle, let alone the Saint Rulers. If it were not for the fact that many of the Saint Rulers and Holy Emperor possessed the formations that Feng Xiaotian had passed down to them, allowing them to attack and defend, there would probably be even more casualties.
However, the appearance of a large group of soaring ants on the battlefield caused quite a commotion. Miserable cries even rang out in all directions, filled with extreme pain.
These were the cries of Holy Emperors from the World of Forsaken Saints. Their bodies were covered in soaring ants, and their flesh rapidly dissipated as the ants gnawed away at them. Not only did the soaring ants devour their flesh, but even their bones could not escape the fate of being devoured. With a series of bone-chilling noises, the bones were completely devoured by the soaring ants at an unbelievable speed. Not a single bit of them was left behind. Even their souls were not spared.
The flesh and blood of the Holy Emperor possessed powerful vitality and flesh. Basically every time the soaring ants devoured a Holy Emperor, they would pulsate visibly. Their strength would rapidly increase as they devoured the Holy Emperor's flesh and blood.
The expressions of the Holy Emperor's army all changed when they saw the terrifying soaring ants. The soaring ants were extremely difficult to kill. The powerful sword Qi and blade Qi they used could even carve a bottomless chasm on the Tian Yuan Continent, killing hundreds or even thousands of Class 7 Magical Beasts. However, such powerful attacks were completely useless before the soaring ants. The terrifying sword Qi and blade Qi that could easily kill hundreds or thousands of Class 7 Magical Beasts could not even kill a single Class 6 soaring ant. The soaring ants completely ignored the attacks, passing through them without any resistance.
As a matter of fact, even when they used their powerful energies to create powerful barriers and energy armor, the soaring ants could directly ignore them. They could pass through the barriers and energy armor and injure the Holy Emperor's army. The only method the Holy Emperor from the World of Forsaken Saints had against the soaring ants was to use the sharpness of their weapons to kill them.
However, there were just far too many soaring ants. They blotted out the sky and were densely packed together, numbering in the hundreds of millions. It was impossible for them to kill them all if they used this method. At the same time, every time a Holy Emperor died to the soaring ants, their strength would increase drastically. In just a short while, several dozen peak Class 7 soaring ants had successfully advanced to Class 8 after devouring the flesh and blood of the Holy Emperor.
However, these Soaring Ants were very different from Magic Beasts. As long as Magic Beasts reached Rank Five, they would possess intelligence that was not weak. However, these Soaring Ants were like the Ferocious Beasts of the Divine Realm. Even if they reached Rank Nine, they would not possess intelligence. They would only have one instinct.
However, this instinct could be led by the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast, so no matter how powerful the soaring ants were, they would follow the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast's orders. Caia could also control the soaring ants due to his special relationship with the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast.
The number of the Holy Emperor's puppets and the Holy Emperor's puppets rapidly decreased. As the battle continued, the alliance of the four races rapidly weakened, but due to the appearance of the soaring ants, they were still able to match the World of Forsaken Saints for a moment even though they were rapidly weakening.
However, Holy Emperor's constantly appeared in the tunnel. The balance between the Tian Yuan Continent and the World of Forsaken Saints would be broken very soon. Even with the assistance of the soaring ants, they would not be able to maintain the balance for long. After all, there were just far too many Holy Emperor's from the World of Forsaken Saints. That world had given birth to over forty Origin realm experts, and there were even some at Reciprocity. The number of Holy Emperor's was something that the people of the Tian Yuan Continent could not imagine.
As for the soaring ants, they would not be able to endure the attacks of the Holy Emperor's, even if they were at the peak of Class 8, unless Class 9 experts appeared. They could only win through numbers.
The soaring ants needed time to devour the flesh and blood of Saint Emperors. During this time, the devoured Saint Emperors would launch a desperate counterattack and kill several hundred, or even several thousand, or even over ten thousand soaring ants. As a result, every time the soaring ants devoured a Saint Emperor, they would lose thousands of Saint Emperors or even more.
There were even quite a few Holy Emperor's who would decisively give up on their bodies when the soaring ants devoured them. Their souls would flee and disappear into the tunnel, so they were not completely dead.
At this moment, a soft and pleasant sound of a zither rang out. It was like celestial music, with a mysterious power. As soon as it appeared, it suppressed all the other sounds in the field, as if it was the only sound in the world.
The zither possessed an irresistible charm. It passed through all obstructions and reached the ears of everyone present. The four armies were not affected by the zither, but when the zither reached the ears of all the Holy Emperors from the World of Forsaken Saints, it took over their minds in a single instance. Almost at the same time, the eyes of all the Holy Emperors became dazed. They were completely defenseless at that moment.
"Quick, everyone kill them with everything you've got," the grand elder roared. The blood-soaked grand elder of Mercenary City bellowed out. His presence skyrocketed as he stabbed out with lightning-like speed. By the time the Saint Emperor returned to his senses, the sword had pierced his forehead, wiping out his soul.
The other experts of the four races all reacted as well. They struck out with lightning speed, killing the Holy Emperors who had been affected by the zither music as quickly as possible. Just a single wave of attacks dealt a heavy blow to the Holy Emperor's army.
Ouyang Yangwen was trapped by the disc. He could only watch on helplessly. Not only had his strength been sealed up, but he could not even move his body. He was as frustrated as he could be. The only good thing was that no one outside could harm him while he was enveloped by the azure light of the disc.
"A soul attack! It's a soul attack!"
"How is this possible? There's actually an expert who can use soul attacks here!"
.....
The nine Receival experts from the World of Forsaken Saints all revealed drastically different expressions as they cried out. Although people who could use soul attacks had appeared in the history of the World of Forsaken Saints, they were extremely rare. Even across the countless years of history, there were only a handful of them. It had been several tens of thousands of years since someone like that had appeared. Once they did, they would definitely become influential figures because soul attacks were the most difficult to defend against even in the World of Forsaken Saints. It could even be said that there was no way to defend against them.
Furthermore, they were shocked to discover that the person playing the guqin in this world was even more powerful. The sound of the guqin could actually affect them, and this was not because it was specifically targeted at them. If it was, they could not guarantee that they could keep their minds intact. After all, in this battle, there was no room for mistakes. Otherwise, they would be doomed eternally.
Cheng Jingyun was stern as well. She gazed into the distance at Shangguan Mu 'er, who sat in the air and played her zither. She wanted to stop her, but all she could do was protect herself from Changyang Mingyue's attacks. She did not have the power to deal with Shangguan Mu' er.
"Quick, go to the World of Forsaken Saints and report to the Spiritking. We've underestimated the strength of this world again. We need reinforcements. Get the other four elders," Cheng Jingyun called out. Cheng Jingyun yelled. Her voice was transmitted into the tunnel. Many Saint Emperors in the tunnel heard her clearly.
"It's elder Cheng's voice!" The expressions of all the Holy Emperors in the tunnel changed slightly when they heard the voice. Immediately, a few of them turned back as quickly as they could.
