"They sent the Nether River Patriarch to assassinate me. They are looking down on me!"
Li Chenglong truly felt that he was being looked down upon, despised, and even ignored.
"I am a peerless master, a military advisor …"
"But why did I almost fail to dodge it … This hurts my self-esteem even more …"
Li Chenglong felt even more annoyed when he thought of this.
After all, according to Li Chenglong's strength, even if the Nether River Patriarch was in his prime, he might not be able to defeat Li Chenglong. However, the situation now was that the strength of the Nether River Patriarch was completely different from what they had predicted. What was even more ridiculous was that …
No one knew what method the Nether River Patriarch had used to completely evade everyone's perception. His strength was at least twice as strong as the Nether River Patriarch in everyone's estimation. Moreover, he had a method that no one knew or understood!
This meant that if Li Chenglong was the only one on the high platform, not only would the Nether River Patriarch have a high chance of succeeding, but he would also have a high chance of succeeding.
"The Nether River Patriarch must have used some treasure or some strange method to improve his strength. Otherwise, there is no way he could improve so quickly. This doesn't make sense." Li Chenglong thought to himself.
"But to have such a method … to be able to improve a master like the Nether River Patriarch so quickly … in the entire world, there is only this man." Li Chenglong subconsciously sighed as he looked at the battlefield that was still in a stalemate.
The battle line was too long.
His Divine Sense could not reach the furthest edge of the battlefield.
As far as the eye could see, there were huge millstones of flesh and blood.
In some places, the Astral Souls had the absolute advantage. However, in other places, they were in a disadvantageous position. They were even in danger of being completely wiped out.
Faced with such a situation, the only thing they could do was to continuously send troops to fill up the gaps without affecting the other places!
And all the troops that were sent to the frontline were basically doomed to die!
In some places, it was a stalemate. In some places, it was hard to determine the winner. In some places, it was a massacre. However, in some places, it was just a matter of time.
Although the Astral Souls had a lot of top-tier human experts, it was still impossible for them to cover all aspects of such a huge battlefield. The gap between them was too huge!
However, all the members of the team followed in the footsteps of Zuo Xiaoduo and became firefighters. As soon as they stabilized the situation here and suppressed the enemy, they immediately tore through space and rushed to the next battlefield to provide assistance.
After a while, a feeling of exhaustion grew in his heart.
But other than that, there was no better way.
As the battle dragged on, Li Chenglong's extremely subtle, calm, and callous command became more and more effective.
Li Chenglong had truly achieved his goal of commanding without rest. He had used every inch of steel on the blade!
As long as Li Chenglong calculated every point, he would use the smallest sacrifice to obtain the greatest victory!
This could be said to be a miracle in military history!
It was also the beginning of the legend of Li Chenglong, the Army God of Astral Souls. It was the beginning of a myth!
At the beginning of the battle, the Astral Souls were completely defeated. On the twelfth day, they were evenly matched!
Then, little by little, inch by inch, the subtle changes gradually turned into a slight advantage, and then into a slight advantage …
At this moment, Li Chenglong could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
According to his conjecture, if everyone did not retreat and continued to fight like this, the Star Soul Realm humans would gain the upper hand in at most two days. Moreover, they would have an overwhelming advantage and there would be no room for turning the situation around.
Li Chenglong felt a little comforted by this situation.
In the past few days, Li Chenglong had encountered as many as seven assassination attempts!
Although there were no mishaps every time, Zuo Xiaonian was extremely tired. He couldn't afford to be distracted for a moment, and he didn't dare to be distracted.
As for the battlefield … the life and death battles … did not stop at all!
The situation of the battle was so tragic that it was beyond words.
In the beginning, everyone was still patient and restrained. Although it was a life and death battle, they still stopped at the point of raising their hands and slashing down with their swords. But later on, both sides' eyes were red and they began to use all means possible to destroy the other side as their first priority!
"Who cares about instigation now?!"
"Can we coexist without instigation?!"
"Sooner or later, it will be a life-and-death battle!"
"Under the Clear Sky Tribulation, only one clan will be left!"
"Either you die, or I die!"
"What instigation, what treachery, what conspiracy!"
"Let's have a good fight!"
"Even without instigation, I don't want to guard the Sun Moon Pass for another ten thousand years! Even if I have to guard it for another year, or even half a year, I don't want to! "
"My parents, sons, daughters, daughters-in-law, grandchildren … all died in the Sun Moon Pass. I've lived alone for two thousand years! I've been lonely for too long! "
"Who knows my f * cking pain! They only know that they understand me, support me, and die with me! "
"Going to the grave all by yourself! I should be the one lying there being worshipped! "
"I've lived long enough! I'm tired of living! "
"Now, most of our brothers are gone … Do we still want to be an old bachelor?!"
"Kill!"
"Kill them all!"
"Who cares about instigation! What conspiracy! "
"We've died with the Witches and Demons!"
Compared with the humans and the Wu people, the Demon Clan was the calmest. They were even shocked and scared!
All the demons were shocked, shocked, and horrified when they saw the humans and Magi who had completely gone mad charging forward without any regard for their own lives. They would self-destruct at the slightest provocation and drag the enemies around them down with them!
They could clearly feel that these two groups of people were like lunatics. Their purpose of charging forward was not to kill, but to die!
Not only to die, but also to die as soon as possible!
If he could drag the enemy down with him, it would be even better. It would be even more meaningful!
If they couldn't, it was okay!
The two groups of people grinned hideously, roared, howled, and charged forward at the fastest speed and with the greatest strength they had ever used in their lives …
They crashed into each other, and self-exploded!
In the end, the whole battlefield was full of explosions. Every second, more than a dozen powerful Demon Clan members would self-explode!
The tragic battlefield was filled with the echoes of death. The string in everyone's heart that had been stretched taut for thousands of years had been completely stretched taut!
Especially … the deaths of their brothers, their comrades, and so on …
In everyone's eyes, there was nothing but blood!
This was a common thing on the battlefield, a kind of inertia.
When the war reached a certain point, the soldiers on the battlefield would become mentally deranged. They wouldn't think of anything else except destruction!
Destruction of the enemies or destruction of themselves.
Negative emotions would only accumulate. When it reached a critical point, there was only one extreme!
The fact that the warriors of the Umno Alliance and the Astral Souls could hold on for so long in this endless battle was already a miracle!
But no matter how miraculous it was, it was finally the time to break the string!
Standing on the high platform, Li Chenglong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but stand up abruptly.
His expression became extremely unsightly.
Because he knew …
The limit of human nature was reached!
Under such circumstances, even those who were on the brink of death and only had a single breath of life left would erupt with unprecedented combat power!
This was the limit and resilience of human beings!
It was often said that an ordinary person lifted a car that weighed a few tons by himself at a critical moment. There were also people who broke through the speed of a world champion and ran downstairs to catch their child who fell from upstairs …
These were things that couldn't be fully explained in the age of chaos.
But in this era of martial arts, there was only one sentence.
That was, the strong stimulation had broken the string in this person's heart.
It allowed him to do something that was impossible for him to do in this extremely short period of time. Even if he died of exhaustion ten thousand times, he still wouldn't be able to do it!
And this kind of thing was called … a miracle by the people.
Similarly, there was a 99% chance that the person who created this miracle would not have a second chance to do the same thing in his entire life.
There were too many miracles, but repeated miracles could no longer be called a miracle!
And now, this kind of phenomenon, this kind of situation, appeared so frequently on the battlefield, and it couldn't be a good thing!
Because each of these warriors had already reached the point of exhaustion.
If they recuperated well, they could still recover and even master their current state, which was the so-called tempering of life and death, and achieve a breakthrough. But if they were stuck in this kind of situation where they could only destroy everything without caring about anything, only death awaited them!
Because of the long-term influence of the surrounding atmosphere, they had the thought of not wanting to live anymore, and it was endless. If they continued endlessly, they would only rush towards death, and they would no longer have the thought of living!
Li Chenglong knew the beginning and end of this situation, and he also understood the terrible consequences of this situation.
But now that he was facing it, he truly experienced it firsthand. This kind of situation, combined with the current atmosphere, was actually … unsolvable!
In this world, most of the problems could be solved through various ways and methods, but there were always some problems that even the wise and saints couldn't solve!
Because of this, Li Chenglong ordered the retreat of the troops. He was willing to give up the victory that was not too far away and try his best to save the lives of his soldiers!
On the entire battlefield, the order of the Astral Souls to retreat reverberated like a tsunami.
The military order, which was supposed to be the law, fell into the ears of the millions of soldiers who were stuck in that strange situation, but they were all indifferent because they could no longer hear it!
In their eyes, hearts, and ears, there was only the enemy, only destruction, only slaughter, and only death!
Right now, they could no longer be considered as humans, but ghosts with only one obsession!
On the entire battlefield, countless places were ceasing fighting and retreating, but there were also areas where the Umno Alliance soldiers and the Astral Souls soldiers didn't retreat!
They fiercely clashed with each other and self-destructed!
When they killed the enemy, they also killed themselves!
Suddenly, The Flood Witch roared and transformed into a ten thousand foot tall giant that descended on the battlefield. She shouted, "Everyone stop! Everyone stop! "
But the soldiers from both sides who were stuck in a deathmatch didn't listen to her. They stared straight at each other, dragging their wounded and tattered bodies and killing each other … with self-destruction as the focus …
Boom, boom, boom …
Loud noises continued to ring out, deafening and soul-stirring.
Hundreds of battlefields, one after another, continuously reverberated with earth-shattering explosions!
All the soldiers who were still conscious stood upright with tears streaming down their faces, using their eyes to … send off their comrades.
Originally, the battle that even the commanders couldn't stop was stopped by these hundreds of thousands of self-destructions.
On the entire battlefield, hundreds of millions of soldiers from all three sides, after the explosions stopped, there was complete silence!
For the first time, Zuo Xiaoduo realized that the 'heroic' aura that was only used to describe actually existed, and it was unprecedentedly intense. This heroic aura filled the entire battlefield!
Plumes of thick smoke, scattered across the battlefield, shot straight into the sky, and were blown away by the wind.
Everyone stood in silence.
Demon Emperor Jun, Donghuang, Tai Yi, Demon Empress Xi He, Zu Wu, Flood, Zuo Changlu, Wu Yuting.
Fourteen of the top leaders of the three sides stood in the middle of the battlefield, looking at each other, speechless for a long time.
Everyone's eyes were filled with unspeakable pain and agony.
On the demon side, 160 of the 240 Demon Gods who participated in the battle died. Three of the eight Golden Crow Princes died, and the other casualties were uncountable.
On the Wu people's side, Jin Lin, Xi Hai, and the Wind Thearch died in this battle!
The high ranking Martial Warriors of the Heavenly King Stage were almost all killed. There were only six left, and all six of them were heavily injured.
On the human side, almost all of the higher-ups of the Dao Alliance had died in battle, except for Daoist Thunder. Seventeen Heavenly Kings had died in battle, and over thirty Commanders had died in battle. The rest of the Dao Alliance had suffered an uncountable number of casualties. Of the two-hundred-million-strong elite soldiers who had joined the battle, over a hundred and forty million had died in battle.
On the human side of the Astral Souls, Sword King died in battle, and the Northern Army, including Beigong Hao, was wiped out.
From then on, there was no Northern Army in the Astral Souls Continent!
Nan Zhengqian was attacked by three Heavenly Kings of the Umno Alliance, and he was trapped in the core of the self-explosion, causing his Divine Soul to shatter. His broken body was rescued by his subordinates, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. His Divine Soul was so badly injured that even Zuo Xiaoduo was helpless. It was no different from being crippled.
Twelve Chaos Primordial Chaos cultivators died in battle.
Qin Sha was severely injured, Lei Changtian was severely injured, Wu Tiejiang was severely injured, and You Xingchen was severely injured!
Apart from Qin Sha, who was still conscious, the other three were in a deep coma, and it was unknown when they would wake up.
The number of casualties was shocking to the eye!
In fact, this was all thanks to Zuo Xiaoduo and the Bu Bu Brigade who did their best to put out the fire. If not for them … more than half of the people who were seriously injured would not have survived!
It was also because of this that Long Yusheng, Yu Moyan, Zhen Piaopiao, and Gao Qiao 'er in the Bu Bu Brigade were severely injured!
Among them, Li Zhangming's Divine Soul was on the verge of collapse because he had used the Great Dream Divine Technique beyond his limits. In a sense, his situation was even worse than Nan Zhengqian's.
Now, the battle finally came to an end.
All three sides were heartbroken because of the losses in battle!
The fourteen people, who were at the peak of the three races, looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but in the end, they did not say anything.
The Flood Witch was the first to turn around. Her tall body turned and left without a word.
Then, not far from her, the Lie Huo couple, the Ice Nether Witch, the Dan Kong Witch, and the Poison Witch followed silently.
The five brothers walked side by side, but their backs were unprecedentedly bleak and lonely.
The twelve great witches of the Umno Alliance had worked together to overcome countless difficulties. They had never suffered any losses, but unexpectedly, in just a few months, half of them had died. It was obvious how painful it was for the remaining people.
Di Jiang Zu Wu and Gonggong Zu Wu turned and looked at the Flood leaving. The expression in their eyes was extremely complicated.
In this battle, among the eight Zu Wu, three of them were seriously injured, but they could still hold on.
Immediately, they waved their hands and gave the order to rest. Then, they left without a word!
Monster Emperor Jun sighed and turned to leave.
Xihe hugged the Book of Luo. The incident with Ya Qiong back then was not far away. Just in case, she had placed a strand of her sons' souls in the Book of Luo's space.
During the Great Witch-Demon War, it was because of this precaution that the lives of her sons were saved.
Now, it was the same method that saved the lives of her three dead sons.
Although reincarnation and growth would take at least a million years … for an existence like Xihe, it was enough that her sons' souls were not completely destroyed.
The Demon Empress did not want to experience the pain of losing her sons again.
Now, the Demon Empress' heart was filled with joy!
If she had not prepared this backup plan, how could she bear the loss of her three sons after today's battle?!
Zuo Changlu and Wu Yuting looked around and observed the battlefield. Their eyes were filled with dullness. There was not even a single groan from the wounded.
There were clearly so many people present, but it was as if it was an empty field.
There were only densely packed pits from near to far …
Many of the foundations of the ground had already turned into floating dust. It looked intact and was only slightly lower than other places, but in fact, it was completely void of any texture. If one suddenly stepped on it, one would easily sink into a pit that was hundreds of meters deep …
Zuo Changlu's eyes were inexplicably sore and hot.
He raised his head and took a deep breath. With a hoarse voice, he said, "Today's battle … the most tragic battle of my life … countless brothers … countless brothers … today, we are going home …"
Wu Yuting's tears fell.
"Let's go back and see … the exact casualties."
At this moment, Zuo Zhanglu even had a subtle feeling that he didn't dare to look back.
He knew that the casualties were not light, but he did not expect it to be so serious.
After returning, Zuo Changlu looked at the name list that was presented to him. His face was pale and his eyes were wide open. He was speechless for a long time.
Beigong Hao, Nan Zhengqian!
These two names cut Zuo Zhanglu's heart like a knife.
"Nan Zhengqian … is there any hope?" Zuo Changlu turned his head and asked.
On the side was Li Chenglong. "Uncle Nan's situation is not optimistic. His life is saved, but his Divine Soul has almost been completely destroyed, and his Divine Sense is completely gone … With the current means, it is already the limit to ensure that he is still breathing. Maybe if Zuo's cultivation can improve … there may be a chance. "
"The current treatment methods are in vain."
Zuo Changlu raised his head and evaporated the tears in his eyes. He said faintly, "What about the others?"
"Senior Lei Changtian and the Emperor just exhausted too much of their vitality and Divine Soul. They only need to rest for a while to recover. But … they definitely can't go to the battlefield in the near future."
"Uncle Wu Tiejiang's situation is a little more serious, but not to the extent of Marshal Nan. He needs a long time to recover."
"Aunt Qin Sha's injuries are not light. Fortunately, she didn't lose consciousness. With her own guidance and various treatment methods, she is in a better condition than everyone else."
"Is there a detailed count of the casualties?"
"According to the data reported, the Astral Souls Dao League has a total of …"
Li Chenglong sighed deeply. "Three hundred and forty-nine million and thirty-two thousand and one hundred and eighty-one people."
The reason why it was so precise was because it was the most basic respect for the heroes who died in this battle.
"Three hundred and fifty million! That many? "
Hearing this number, Zuo Changlu only felt that his heart was about to burst from the pain.
Almost sixty percent of the elites of the human race had been lost in this battle!
The Heroic Soul Passes that were built before were all destroyed in this intense battle. Not a single one of them could be preserved!
The defense line of the Astral Souls could be said to have been completely broken.
However, neither the monster race nor the Wu people would choose to take a detour.
The hatred between them was as deep as the ocean. They would not rest until one of them was dead. Avoiding the main force and attacking the weak points. The tactic of attacking the rear was meaningless.
What they needed to do was to crush all the humans in this area who were stubbornly resisting!
If they won here, they would be the rulers of the continent!
The battlefield was silent and solemn.
Countless soldiers were wandering around the battlefield. There were Sorcerer Tribesmen, Demon Tribesmen, and also Human Tribesmen.
It was now the time for a truce. The three sides had tacitly agreed that there would be no more fighting during this period. This was the only safe time.
The soldiers came out in groups, searching for any traces of their comrades in the ruined battlefield.
From the battlefield to the camp, it was calm and silent.
In the past, after every battle, if one listened carefully, there would always be low sobbing, muffled cursing, swearing to take revenge, and so on … all kinds of sounds.
But this time, the number of people who died was hundreds or thousands of times more than the number of people who died in every war. Yet, no one cried. No one even spoke. There was not even the sound of blades being sharpened, which was always there in the past.
There was only silence in the air.
Countless soldiers, wrapped in bandages, sat in their tents with their heads lowered or outside. Those who smoked quietly took out their cigarettes and lowered their heads to light them. They stuck one cigarette into the ground and held another in their mouths.
They just lowered their heads and smoked silently.
There were also countless people who went back to their beds and covered themselves with their blankets, not moving at all.
Most people were in the same position. They sat on the ground, bent their legs, lowered their heads, hugged their heads, and didn't move for a long time.
Only big drops of tears fell on the ground and made a very soft sound.
The higher-ups were the same.
There was no post-battle summary or morale-boosting.
When it was their turn to search the battlefield, they quietly received the order and walked forward silently.
Everywhere they passed, the soldiers with their heads down automatically stood up and followed behind the first person. They lined up and walked out.
Countless soldiers who didn't go to war and were on duty to prepare hot meals for their brothers came out with rows of snow-white steamed buns that were steaming.
They looked blankly at the empty courtyard.
My meal is ready. Why didn't you come and eat?
Is it not delicious?
Tears finally poured down.
You're all gone. You're all gone …
Only I, the cook, left behind those huge steamers and huge pots. Those are for hundreds of people to cook. You're all not here and you're leaving these things to me?
Since you're not here, what's the use of leaving the utensils?!
A cold wind blew. The steaming and fragrant steamed buns slowly lost their temperature and became cold in the wind.
No one came to eat.
The cook squad leader held a spoon and stood alone at the entrance of the cafeteria, tears streaming down his face.
"Where are my brothers …"
…
Zuo Xiaoduo checked on the injuries of Nan Zhengqian and the others again. He thought about it again and again before he ground the Nine Transformations Golden Pill and dissolved it in a bucket of water. He fed everyone a bowl, hoping that they would be lucky, even though he knew that this was just for peace of mind.
Then he pulled Zuo Xiaonian and walked out quietly.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's go find someone."
"Who? My master? "Zuo Xiaonian's eyes lit up.
After Mu Yanyan's disappearance, Zuo Xiaonian could be said to be worried day and night. She had tried many methods, including Zuo Xiaonuo's manifestation technique, but she still couldn't find anything. She didn't know where Master got the ability to hide so well …
However, this also made Zuo Xiaonian more and more worried.
If she didn't have a feeling, her master must still be in the world. Zuo Xiaonian almost thought that Mu Yanyan had committed suicide and no longer existed in this world.
"No."
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "Let's go to the underground, to the Blood River."
"You're going to trouble Ancestor Minghe, but do you know the specific location?"
"Someone knows."
Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian's figures flashed. They went to find Flood and find the whereabouts of the Blood River.
If they wanted to find the Blood River of Minghe, they had to find the older generation.
"Godfather."
"What are you doing here?"
"Godfather, you know that I've been looking for a way to solve the war. Coincidentally, I also know that you have this intention. You deliberately created a balance of power between the three sides, and each side has its own fear, so that large-scale war will not happen. It reproduces the balance of power between the three sides at that time. It seems dangerous, but it is actually balanced for a long time, and the Qing Heaven's Tribulation will be prolonged indefinitely. Isn't it because of the coexistence of the three races?"
"Haha …" Flood said tiredly, "Now that the war has come to this, how can there be any room for negotiation?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as there is a chance, we have to try."
Hong Shui sighed. His whole body seemed to have lost its spirit.
"In fact, my world is only one step away from being fully formed. I can even … study it. I can leave one race in this world, and the other races can all be transferred to that world … Although it is a trick, it may not be impossible to avoid the Qing Heaven's Tribulation."
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed, "It's a pity that I can't complete it because I'm only one step away."
Flood Witch's eyes lit up, "What else do you lack?"
"The Good Fortune Jade Disk."
"…"
The Flood Witch almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Damn it … You might as well not have said that. You just gave me a little hope, and then you extinguished it. Hope turned into despair.
Everyone knew who had the Good Fortune Jade Disk. You want to complete it? Dream on!
"Just say it. What do you want from me? Fortunately, my position is high enough. I'm not afraid of being accused of colluding with the enemy. You are really bold … You dare to come to our base with just the two of you."
Flood Witch was not in a good mood, "Be careful that Zu Wu and the others kill the two of you. I can't help you."
Zuo Xiaoduo chuckled. Zuo Xiaonian held Flood Witch's arm and said coquettishly, "Godfather can't bear to hit us."
Flood Witch beamed and said, "You still have to remove the 'us'. I can't bear to hit you, but I can't bear to hit this frisky monkey!"
She sighed again after saying that.
According to the current situation of the battlefield, was it inevitable that she would have to fight with her godson in the end?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel upset.
"What are you here for? Tell me. "
"I want to know where the blood river is, which is … where the Asura World is," Zuo Xiaoduo said.
"Hmm?" Flood Witch turned to look at Zuo Xiaoduo, her eyes serious, "I almost know what your intentions are, but you have to be careful. If that person is really controlling the situation, if you go to the Asura World so rashly … won't you give them a chance to kill you?"
"Maybe they will kill you, but it's really hard to say who will kill who."
Zuo Xiaoduo chuckled, "I've had a breakthrough recently, and Nian Mao has also improved a lot …"
"Another breakthrough?"
Flood Witch's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.
How could she still spar with Zuo Xiaoduo in such a situation?
"Godfather, are you itching for a fight? Can we enter the Tower of Annihilation to fight? " Zuo Xiaoduo suggested, "With the flow of time in the Tower of Annihilation, we'll be out in a few seconds at most."
"Forget it."
Flood Witch laughed at herself, "I'm not that thick-skinned."
As he spoke, he stood up. "You guys stay here and don't run around. I have to go and ask around as well. Where exactly is the Asura World?"
…
A day later.
Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian were already in a strange space.
This realm was the legendary Asura Realm.
But as far as the eye could see, there was only dead silence in this space, and there were no signs of life at all. Where the blood river was originally, there were also signs of drying up and cracking at this moment …
"This, this is the Asura World?"
Zuo Xiaoduo was in disbelief.
The Asura World was a space of its own. Where were so many people of the Asura Clan?
What about the Blood River Army? What about the Blood God, who was said to be infinite?
And what about the Nether River Patriarch, the owner of the Blood River?
What … what was going on?
Zuo Xiaonian was also at a loss, "Could it be that we're in the wrong place?"
At this moment.
An inexplicable Dao Rhyme enveloped the entire space.
An elegant and gentle voice with a faint smile said, "No, you're not in the wrong place. This place is indeed the Asura World! "
