Li Yao was deeply shocked by the scene. He couldn't help but wonder what the outcome would be if the qi-trainers and Cultivators of the same number were engaged in a battle.
The conclusion was that, faced with the qi-trainers who had entered the state of reverberation, the Cultivators would definitely suffer a crushing defeat, unless they were backed by several Core Formation Stage Cultivators!
However, the Cultivators' utilization of spiritual energy was ever-changing. They had constructed countless ingenious structures and rune arrays of spiritual energy and developed all kinds of powerful magical equipment, including warships tens of thousands of meters long. They were certainly not something that the qi-trainers could resist.
The two groups of human beings each had their own specialties. If they could join hands to resist the enemy, the Temple of Immortals and the Immortal Cultivators would be annihilated! It was a pity that the misunderstanding from five thousand years ago was too deep. There was still a long way to go before they could let go of the misunderstandings.
The battle lasted for three hours. The apocalyptic beasts seemed to have suffered a crushing defeat, but Li Yao had heard the whole process of the battle of the apocalypse from Xiong Wuji and knew that the real battle had only just begun.
It was always the case in every battle of the apocalypse. At the beginning, the qi-trainers had enough ammunition and spiritual gas, which allowed them to gain the upper hand in the first clash.
However, as the battle went on, the True Qi balloons that they carried with them would run out, and the spiritual gas inside their bodies would be spurting out nonstop. Eventually, they would run out of fuel, too.
What was even worse was that, in the state of reverberation of fighting will, the qi-trainers only knew how to press forward bravely. Even if they were exhausted and exhausted, they would not back off easily. To put it simply, they had completely lost their minds in the battle!
Many powerhouses fell to the ground without making a sound as they killed, dying on the spot.
Every time, the apocalyptic beasts would take the opportunity to summon a large batch of dragon-level beasts to launch counterattacks. The qi-trainers suffered heavy losses many times and almost collapsed.
Therefore … When the first battle was exhausted, it was the time for the experts to show up.
They had to charge at the beast tide without bothering about anything and replace the exhausted qi-trainers so that they could take a rest in the rear and replace their True Qi balloons.
The switch was the key to the battle. If the first battle could not be retreated smoothly, a lot of elite experts would be lost even if they won the battle in the end. It would be a pyrrhic victory!
"The second array, charge!" Xiong Wuji's roar echoed in the sky of the valley.
The members of the second wave were only one third the size of the first wave, but they were ten times more intimidating. Every tribe, including the Fierce Wind Assault Team and the Iron Bears Detonation Team. All of them had sent out their core elite battle teams!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! "
The earth trembled, and cracks appeared on the ground, spewing out scorching hot steam.
The cracks extended all the way into the black fog. The source was hidden in the depths of the black fog. As the black fog wriggled like a tumor, towering figures of beasts rushed out from the fog!
These strange beasts were at least a dozen meters tall, like moving hills. A faint demonic mist lingered around them. They were burning like flames, indicating that they could not only use their beastly instincts to kill. They could even control spiritual energy in some mysterious way!
The dragon-class exotic beast had finally made its appearance!
The appearance of the dragon-class exotic beasts shook the disorderly ghost-class exotic beasts on the battlefield. They automatically gathered around the dragon-class exotic beasts, as if they had been guided by something, with each dragon-class exotic beast as the core. They formed battle squads one after another!
Some of the qi-trainers were too caught in the slaughter to free themselves. Although their spiritual gas had run out, they still charged at the beasts on their own, dragging their ragged sabers, only to be torn apart by the dragon-class exotic beasts immediately. It was a gory scene.
"The first array, retreat!"
The core battle squads of the six tribes of Iron Plateau marched into the battlefield. Countless experts above the 50th level of the Refinement Stage soared into the sky and lunged at one of the dragon-class exotic beasts!
"The third array, attack. Hold your ground and help the first array to retreat!"
Under Xiong Wuji's command, the iron battle line made of countless giant tanks and six-legged spiders slowly moved forward.
The qi-trainers who drove the tanks and the war machines were not very strong, either, but they were specially trained to manipulate the war machines that were powered by spiritual gas.
Their mission was to push the battle line as far forward as possible and form an iron defense line. Then, they would help the exhausted first array to retreat.
There was a fourth array after the third array. Xiong Wuji and the other top experts of the six tribes were in the fourth array. As the reserves, they were waiting for the arrival of the calamity-level exotic beasts, too!
Li Yao stood on the back of a giant spider war machine as if he had been nailed to the armor. He moved forward with the third array and observed the battle coldly.
He had never practiced with other people before. If he were mixed in the battle formation, he would only mess up. Therefore, Xiong Wuji had arranged for him to be in the third array so that he could seize the opportunity on his own.
Li Yao condensed his spiritual gas into needles and stimulated his brain cells softly, entering the super perceptive state.
After a month of training, he had clearly grasped the limits of the increase of the activity of his brain cells in the Refinement Stage. His veins would not explode so easily anymore.
He only slightly increased the activity of his brain cells. His eyes were glittering, and everything that happened on the battlefield turned into clusters of dazzling data.
Seeing that the giant spider war machine was about to enter the battlefield, Li Yao suddenly blinked. The Sky Scorpion Armor turned into a streak of brightness and dashed to the edge of the canyon after several leaps.
"Swoosh!"
Li Yao walked on the wall that was perpendicular to the ground as if it were a flat ground. Sometimes, he crawled on all fours, sometimes with the surging spiritual gas. He was both like a cunning lizard and an agile leopard. He dashed to the center of the canyon in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, he stomped on the wall hard and blew out a giant pit dozens of meters in diameter. Then, he lunged out like a rocket!
"Shua!"
Mixed with surging spiritual gas, the Scorpion Tail Giant Sword rushed to almost a hundred meters away and slashed down like a long whip.
A giant insect with transparent wings flew to a low altitude of four to five meters and swooped down again and again. It only cared about the enemies on the ground and did not guard against the attacks from the sky. Half of its wing was instantly cut off by the sword energy. It could not control itself and fell heavily to the ground.
All the exhaust holes on Li Yao's body spurted out high-pressure air currents at the same time, accelerating him helically like a helical drill descending from the sky. Before the dragon-level apocalyptic beast realized what was going on, the giant sword had pierced into its abdomen and split its body into two halves after the abdomen was turned abruptly!
"Watch out!"
A shocking bellow echoed from his right. It was Shi Meng, the captain of the Iron Bears Detonation Squad.
Li Yao's heart constricted violently. He noticed that a gargantuan dragon-level apocalyptic beast was rolling close from his left side!
The apocalyptic beast seemed to be a giant armadillo. It was covered in solid armor. On every piece of its shell, there was a coldly-shining sharp thorn. When it was crouched, it looked like a giant thorny ball almost seven meters in diameter. It was raging all the way. Both the qi-trainers and the apocalyptic beasts that stood in its way were blown away brutally. Some of them were even crushed into a pile of mud!
"You are no match for it. Let me!" Shi Meng roared and sprinted.
Li Yao pulled his scorpion tail sword hard, only to discover that the body fluids of the dragon-level apocalyptic beast below his feet were so thick that they stuck to his sword and his feet in only a moment, tearing them into long strips of gelatinous substance. It was impossible for him to free himself in such a hurry.
The stinky wind raised by the iron-armored armadillo had already blown his long hair away. The bloody brilliance in Li Yao's eyes was almost exploding. He extended his right arm and opened his fingers. Two intersecting gaps appeared on his gauntlet. More than twenty steel ball bombs rolled out of the magazines inside the gauntlet and gathered in front of his fist!
His right arm was deeply retracted below his ribs. Li Yao's upper body was almost twisted 180 degrees, like a battering ram that had been compressed to the maximum. His every muscle was almost torn apart. Helical spiritual gas was swirling in front of his right arm nonstop. More than twenty crystal bombs were spinning at a high speed, too, into the shape of a cone!
Half of the steel ball bombs had been painted black, and the other half was still white. Right now, the black side was aimed at the iron-armored armadillo.
"Seventy-Seventh level of spiritual gas, Explosive Fist!"
After a roar, Li Yao's muscles all over his body constricted violently. His right arm drew an arc as fast as lightning and almost turned into a cluster of brightness, before it exploded on the shell of the iron-armored armadillo brutally!
"BOOM!"
The special design of the steel ball bombs, together with the shield made of spiritual gas, allowed all the damage to be directed at the front. Under the pressure of the helical spiritual gas, more than twenty steel ball bombs exploded almost at the same time, congregating into an orange line of fire that pierced through the iron-armored armadillo directly!
The iron-armored armadillo shrieked miserably. Its body collapsed, and it could not crouch anymore for a moment.
The strike had completely blown away the iron armor on its back. Its flesh was mangled, and its bones were all broken. Its soft internal organs were exposed.
Li Yao took the opportunity to draw his sword. His aura was as sharp as a saber, cutting apart the thick gelatinous substance. Then, he jumped high and stabbed his sword into the body of the iron-armored armadillo as fast as lightning, all the way to the hilt!
"Chi!"
The jet holes on the two sides of the Scorpion Tail Giant Sword finally revealed their second purpose. Other than increasing the stability of the sword when it was waved, it could also expand the internal damage by spurting out air when it pierced deep into the body of an enormous beast!
Li Yao's spiritual gas surged out and blew at the hollow hilt incessantly. Sixteen unstoppable streams of spiritual gas darted out of the sixteen jet holes like sixteen sharp blades, mincing the soft internal organs of the iron-armored armadillo into a pile of mud!
This incomparably ferocious beast finally fell down amidst its anguished howls.
Standing on the back of the iron-armored armadillo, Li Yao raised the Scorpion Tail Giant Sword with one hand and swung it to get rid of the intense blood on the blade, which was mixed with invisible sword auras.
An unlucky ghost-level beast happened to be lying in the path of the bloody light. It was cut in half before it could even let out a scream!
Within a breath, two dragon-level beasts had been slain. The iron-armored armadillo was among the top ten strongest of all the dragon-level beasts. But it had been slain instantly by Li Yao with only one punch and one slash!
The ferocious scene caused the battlefield within a hundred meters to fall into a strange silence for a short second.
All the qi-trainers were dumbfounded. The ghost-level beasts that had lost the command of the dragon-level beasts were even more awed by Li Yao's killing intent and could not move at all!
