Time flew.
Realm of True Force, Northern Wilderness.
It had been nine years since the Human Emperor's Tablet had appeared.
The invasion of the Dragons clan and their vassal races had never stopped.
Although the Dragon Tribe could not truly take over the Northern Wilderness, they were like a blunt knife that kept bleeding the humans in the Northern Wilderness, draining the humans' strength.
In the past, when the Great Qian Dynasty was still in existence, countless warriors in the world would rush to the Northern Wilderness to fight for the Human Emperor's Legacy and fight for the Human Emperor's Tablet.
But now, the Daqian dynasty had fallen, and the world had entered an era of chaos.
The Human Emperor Tablet's Noble Ranking had lost its allure. As for the Human Emperor's Legacy, it was too vague and had lost its popularity.
Most of the sects in the martial arts world had recalled their disciples and were busy fighting for resources and territories in this chaotic world. They had gradually forgotten about the Northern Wilderness.
Because of this, the number of warriors in the Northern Wilderness had stopped increasing. Instead, as the day of the Human Emperor Tablet's disappearance approached, more and more forces moved inland. The vast Northern Wilderness had become even more desolate.
Now, only the Saint Lotus Way and a small part of the Sanctuary Alliance were left in the Northern Wilderness. This made the war even more tense.
The only good news was that the Spot Race had completely disappeared in the Northern Wilderness. However, they had not truly disappeared. Instead, they had moved inland and made the Central Land even more chaotic.
A thousand miles north of Heaven Song City, a fierce battle was taking place.
The leader of the Sanctuary Alliance, Lin Xuan, was leading 50,000 warriors and 80,000 warriors in the Northern Wilderness. They were fiercely fighting against the Poisonous Dragon Clan, Dragon Scorpion Clan, Dragon Lizard Clan, Blood Python Clan, and other vassal races of the Dragons clan. The battle was hundreds of miles long. Countless humans and aliens died every second.
There seemed to be quite a number of human cultivators, but there were even more alien races. Aside from the Poisonous Flood Dragon Clan, which only had a little over three hundred of them, the rest of the clans had numbers ranging from fifty thousand to two hundred thousand.
"Kill!"
"You bastards! I'll kill you! Die! "
"Roar!"
"Roar roar roar!"
On the battlefield, flashes of blades and shadows of swords could be seen. Divine abilities were constantly changing, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere. The ground within a hundred miles seemed to have turned into a meat grinder, killing the lives of both the enemies and the allies.
Lin Xuan, Yan Hui, Tie Lie, Jing Wushang, Li Qiushui, Jing Lan, Dun Fei, and Chi Wufeng. These young higher-ups of the Divine Lotus Path had basically turned out in full force. They did everything they could to kill the ferocious beasts in a frenzy.
The other sects of the Sanctuary Alliance also performed well. Everyone was covered in blood, as if they had turned into unparalleled killing gods.
However, there seemed to be no end to the ferocious beasts. After killing one dragon scorpion, another three dragon scorpions rushed over. After killing one giant python, another ten giant pythons surrounded them.
It seemed that the more he killed, the more alien races there were, but the fewer of his comrades he had.
Even though all the peerless Heaven's Favorites performed amazingly, they could not change the fact that the humankind was weak.
Lin Xuan's Imperial Dao clone activated the Flying Locust Sutra to the extreme. He released thirty thousand flying locusts, which turned into a storm that could devour the heavens and the earth.
All the ferocious beasts within a thousand meters of him, be it Rank One, Rank Two, or Rank Three, could not withstand the attacks of the flying locusts. They were all gnawed into a pile of bones in an instant.
As he controlled the flying locusts, he wandered around the battlefield. He specifically chose places with more ferocious beasts, and the results were extremely shocking.
However, as time passed, the alien races began to avoid the strong and attack the weak. They desperately surrounded and attacked the cultivators of the other sects, causing the human army to suffer heavy casualties.
Under the overwhelming attacks of the alien races, no matter how strong a person was, he was still insignificant.
No matter how powerful Lin Xuan was, he could not take care of everyone. He could only watch helplessly as the number of humans gradually decreased.
A young man covered in blood appeared beside Lin Xuan. He cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master!"
"Yan Hui, what's the matter?"
Lin Xuan looked at Yan Hui and asked curiously.
Yan Hui, Jing Wushang, Tie Lie, Jing Lan, Dun Fei, and the other geniuses had already cultivated to the Great Circle of the God Astral Realm a few years ago.
It was only because of the Human Emperor Tablet that they suppressed their cultivation and did not advance to the Heavenly Change Realm.
However, they were not in a hurry. With their age and talent, it might not be a good thing to raise their cultivation too quickly. On the contrary, if they settled down in the God Astral Realm for a period of time, their future potential would be greater and their path would be more stable.
Yan Hui hesitated for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sect Master! In these three days, our losses are too great. Just our Divine Lotus Path alone has lost eighty thousand people! Even our divine guards have lost one thousand and six hundred people! Our Divine Lotus Path has already suffered great losses. We can't continue fighting this war! "
Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the battlefield in the distance. He sighed softly and said, "Yes, we can't continue fighting. It doesn't make sense for us to fight to the death with the foreign tribes while others enjoy peace at the back."
"Master, you're right! Those new dynasties and sects of the martial arts world not only did not send people to the Northern Wilderness to assist in the war, but instead, they came to the Northern Wilderness to recruit soldiers and snatch martial artists for the sake of power and profit. This is outrageous! "Li Qiushui also came nearby and said angrily.
Dun Fei also walked over and said with a bitter smile, "Lin Xuan, another six sects of the Sanctuary Alliance have announced their withdrawal. The remaining sects have mostly been destroyed. I'm afraid we can't win this war."
Lin Xuan's expression did not change, but he sighed gloomily in his heart. What could he do if he couldn't win? Apart from the Northern Wilderness, where else could he and the Divine Lotus Path stand?
Roar! Roar! Roar!
At this moment, a roar that shook the nine heavens came from the north. It was accompanied by the violent roar of the earth and was getting closer and closer.
Everyone looked over in surprise. They saw a huge creature that was more than ten meters tall forming a black torrent and was rushing over at an extremely fast speed.
"It's the Dragonesque Elephant Clan! Damn it! "
"At least 300,000! How can we fight this? "
All the human martial artists could not help but change their expressions. Their eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.
Lin Xuan also frowned, and his face was a little gloomy.
The foreign tribes were already huge in number and could not be killed. Now that the Dragonesque Elephant Clan had come, it seemed that they could not win no matter what.
Since that was the case, the only option left was to retreat.
However, just as he was about to say the word 'retreat', suddenly, there was a strange change in the world.
Everyone instantly felt as if some shackles that were binding them had suddenly loosened.
"The Human Emperor Tablet! The power of the Human Emperor Tablet has weakened! "
Dun Fei said in surprise.
Boom!
Suddenly, Yan Hui's body shook, and a majestic aura burst out. The surrounding dust was swept away by the powerful aura.
His eyes shone with pleasant surprise.
"I, I'm going to break through!"
Yan Hui shouted and retreated a thousand meters, putting some distance between himself and the others.
Following that, tribulation clouds began to gather in the sky above him. Streaks of Heavenly Tribulations quickly formed and could descend at any time.
Seeing that Yan Hui was about to break through, everyone was envious and surprised. They immediately tried to break through the bottleneck.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the aura surged, Lin Xuan, Dun Fei, and Li Qiushui felt the opportunity to break through at almost the same time!
"The power of the Human Emperor Tablet has indeed weakened! The shackles have loosened a little! "
"That's great! This way, we can break through to the Heavenly Transformation Realm without leaving the Northern Wilderness! "
Everyone spontaneously spread out and waited for their Tribulations.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the four of them all encountered Heavenly Tribulations.
In the sky, layers of clouds of different colors gradually gathered, forming tribulation clouds above the four of them. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
Such a powerful aura immediately attracted the attention of all living beings from the two races.
Boom!
A streak of fire and lightning descended from the sky and blasted Yan Hui's body, blasting him more than ten meters deep into the ground.
Almost at the same time, streaks of tribulation lightning descended from the sky and blasted the other three people.
Whether it was Yan Hui, Dun Fei, Lin Xuan, or Li Qiushui, they were all peerless geniuses. None of them lacked high-grade artifacts or powerful battle techniques. They also blocked the powerful tribulation lightning.
In comparison, Dun Fei was obsessed with array formation. His combat strength was weaker, and it was the most difficult for him to deal with the tribulation lightning.
The most relaxed one was Li Qiushui. Her attainments in the Sword Dao were shocking. Before the tribulation lightning descended, it was already destroyed by her sword qi. It seemed very easy.
Lin Xuan's Imperial Dao clone's defense was not strong either. He could only command a large number of flying locusts to form a flying locust-shaped battle shield. It blocked the sky and continuously weakened the power of the tribulation lightning.
When the tribulation lightning pierced through the battle shield and landed on his body, it had already lost most of its power and prevented him from being seriously injured.
After Li Qiushui easily survived the three lightning tribulations, perhaps she felt that it was not enough. She actually rushed into the group of dragon-elephants in the distance.
The tribulation clouds in the sky also moved quickly with her.
When she entered the group of dragon-elephants, the tribulation clouds began to crazily condense, and in the blink of an eye, they expanded by dozens of times.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The fourth wave of tribulation lightning descended!
Above Li Qiushui, more than three hundred streaks of tribulation lightning descended at the same time. Except for one that landed on her, the rest all blasted the dragon-elephants.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Following a series of continuous explosions, more than three hundred dragon-elephants were blasted into powder in the blink of an eye.
Around Li Qiushui, a large area was instantly cleared.
She smiled proudly and continued to rush forward. She chose a place where the dragon-elephants were densely gathered and prepared to undergo the fifth wave of tribulation lightning.
Lin Xuan noticed Li Qiushui's situation and could not help but be shocked by this disciple of his. The most frightening thing when undergoing tribulation was the interference of others. With every living thing around, the power of the tribulation lightning would increase by a level.
This kind of crazy method was probably something that only a person like Li Qiushui dared to challenge. Anyway, this Imperial Dao clone of his would definitely not be able to do it.
On the battlefield in the distance, Jing Wushang, Tie Lie, Jing Lan, Chi Wufeng, Cao Tianding, Wu Huan and the other young geniuses of the Divine Lotus Path noticed the grand scene of Lin Xuan and the others breaking through at the same time. They could not help but feel an itch in their hearts. All of them did not hesitate to release themselves, no longer suppressing their cultivation, and began to break through to the Heavenly Change Realm.
Even some martial artists of the other sects in the Sanctuary Alliance who were stuck at the Great Perfection of the Divine Astral Realm also tried to break through the bottleneck and join the army.
At this moment, the number of human martial artists undergoing tribulation at the same time had actually reached hundreds!
In an instant, tribulation clouds gathered in the sky within a radius of hundreds of miles. Thunderclouds rolled, and from time to time, bottomless cracks would appear on the ground, from which Earth Tribulation Beasts would run out.
Streaks of tribulation lightning connected the sky and earth, forming a rare spectacle, which made the human martial artists who were originally in despair extremely excited.
However, with so many people undergoing tribulation, not all of them could succeed.
Some of them who had thin martial arts fate tried to force their way through, but were smashed into pieces by the tribulation lightning, their bodies and souls destroyed.
After an hour, the tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the grand scene of hundreds of people undergoing tribulation at the same time also gradually disappeared.
Those martial artists who succeeded in their tribulation courageously charged into the foreign tribes. With the strength of the Heavenly Change Realm, they started a massacre without restraint.
However, Lin Xuan did not move. Instead, he took out the Dragon Horn, which was used to issue military orders, put it to his mouth, and blew a low and loud whine.
"Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~"
This was the order for the entire army to retreat.
The moment the order was heard, all the human martial artists immediately gave up on killing, turned around and fled without any reluctance, and quickly fled in the direction of the Scarlet Mountain.
"Master, many of us have broken through. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the foreign tribes haven't reacted yet and kill them all? We can win a few months of peace." Li Qiushui asked unwillingly.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't think of the foreign tribes too simply. These dragon beasts below Rank 3 are just cannon fodder, and the Rank 4 demonic beasts are not inferior to you and me. Our people have just broken through, and their realms are not stable yet. They are not real Heavenly Change Realm experts. If we don't take this opportunity to retreat, we may not be able to leave later! Let's retreat! "
"Yes, Master!"
Li Qiushui understood that his master's decision was right, and could only accept the order helplessly, and quickly retreated with the people of the Saint Lotus Sect.
Lin Xuan took one last look at the foreign tribes army surging over and sighed.
It's over. I, Lin Xuan, have done my best for the Northern Wilderness.
