After a few breaths, the sky and earth changed colors, and everything finally quieted down.
Due to the intense battle, a large amount of chaotic energy was produced in the sky and earth, causing the weather to change drastically. It formed a huge storm that swept over eight hundred miles and was still spreading outwards.
Rumble …
Lightning kept falling from the sky, and the bright day turned into darkness. Only lightning could illuminate the dark world. And between the sky and earth, Lu An was gasping for breath. Raindrops kept falling on his body, and there were even lightning that fell from the sky and engulfed him, but they were unable to cause him any harm.
"Huff …"
After Lu An took a deep breath, he stood at fifty thousand feet in the air and looked down at the ground below. The so-called ground had long collapsed into ruins, and there were still some corpses of Mystic Beasts that were not completely burned. The entire ground was covered in raging flames, forming a huge visual contrast with the storm.
The sky was covered in dark clouds, and there was a heavy downpour. However, the ground was covered in blazing flames that would not be extinguished by the rain. Only when these flames had completely exhausted his power would he be able to stop.
In the distance, there were many corpses on the ground. There were no flames there, so many corpses could be seen clearly. These were the corpses of low-tier Mystic Beasts that were killed by the aftermath of the battle. It could be said that they had died very willingly.
Out of the forty Class 8 Mystic Beasts, Lu An had killed a total of twenty-two, and the remaining eighteen had successfully escaped.
After more than ten battles, and using a large amount of Heaven Arts in the battle just now, Lu An's bloodline power was indeed somewhat lacking, and he needed to rest. However, Lu An did not hesitate and immediately activated the teleportation array to leave this place.

Lu An did not really rest. In fact, most of the people in the Sect Alliance did not really rest, and it was within seven days and seven nights.
That's right, this second battle lasted for seven days and seven nights. It started with the Mystic Beast Army attacking the Four Great Empires and the Seven Great Safe Zones, and ended with the Four Great Empires and the Seven Great Safe Zones completely falling.
Seven days of bloody battle could not stop the Mystic Beast Army from sweeping through. Be it in terms of numbers or strength, the difference between the two sides was too great. Although they could achieve a partial victory after concentrating their forces, it was useless in the overall situation.
The Imperial Capitals and major cities of the Four Great Empires were all destroyed. The cities where people gathered in the Seven Great Safe Zones had also completely collapsed. The fall of these places completely meant that the sect alliance had lost the meaning of continuing to protect them. They could only turn to self-preservation.
Seven days and seven nights were just the time for the alliance of sects to fight. After that, more and more strange beasts came to the Eight Ancient Continents through the Teleportation Formation. The news of the Exotic Beast Army's victory quickly spread throughout the entire ocean. Regardless of whether they were high-tier Exotic Beasts or low-tier Exotic Beasts, they all rushed into the continent. Even the Exotic Beast Races that were originally watching from the sidelines all rushed into the continent to enjoy the fruits of this war.
Thirteen thousand six hundred and forty-five years, the 22nd of May. This day would forever be a disgrace in the history of mankind. From the first to the second invasion of the Strange Beast Army, it only took twenty days for the human world to fall completely.
Within seven days of the war, the number of humans decreased at a crazy rate. It was only 30% of what it was a year ago, and it was certain that the number of humans would continue to decrease in the following days. It was even possible that they would go extinct. Humans had to live like beasts in the deep mountains. Hiding in caves, once the Exotic Beasts found them, only death awaited them.
After the second war, all the sects had moved to their own hiding places to adjust and recuperate. Most of the sects were hiding in the underground of the continent. The massive sealed space was strangely depressing. Moreover, the result of the war had silenced everyone, and all the sects were deathly silent.
The second war had also brought a lot of damage to the sects. Each sect had lost more than one hundred elders, not to mention the disciples. Fortunately, a war of this scale wouldn't happen again in a short time. According to the plan, they had to wait until Lu An became a level 9 Heaven Master before they could take action.
Humans were ravaged, and the Exotic Beasts had become the masters of the continent. The sects had to live under the feet of the Exotic Beasts. This kind of humiliation had never happened before.
Somewhere underground, the headquarters of the Alliance.
After the war, all the Sect Masters and the Sect Masters came here for a meeting. Although they were depressed and didn't want to attend the meeting, it had to be held. The war had to be concluded, and they had to decide what to do next.
In the top floor, the thirty-two people were all very silent. No one spoke first. After a long time, the Sect Master of the Earth Sect, Huang Ding, suddenly slapped the armrest of his chair and shouted angrily, "Damn it! I never thought that I, Huang Ding, would fall into such a situation one day! This is simply a disgrace! "
His angry shout was filled with grievances and complaints. Everyone looked at Huang Ding. Who didn't feel the same way in their hearts?
Last year, the world was in chaos. Various sects formed groups to fight for the world. But the funny thing was that after the fight, the world was taken by the Exotic Beasts.
No matter what kind of thoughts they had, everyone couldn't help but look to the side, at the representative of the Ice Fire Union.
Lu An.
That's right. This time, Lu An had come personally, and not Liu Yi.
The impact and result of this war were too great. Although the invasion of the Exotic Beasts was a matter of time, the direct cause was still him. He couldn't let Liu Yi bear this pressure.
The war had ended, and the sects had retreated for less than four hours. The Sect Masters and Sect Masters present, as the strongest forces, didn't participate in the battle. But Lu An was different. For seven days and seven nights, he would immediately enter the battle after a short rest. He had rushed to the battlefield and killed countless Exotic Beasts.
Sitting here, the various Sect Masters and Sect Masters could clearly feel Lu An's weak and fluctuating aura. However, Lu An controlled his aura very well, and his eyes were very calm.
"What Hachiko clan! They're simply a bunch of cowards! " The Sect Master of the Karmic Fire Sect, Jue Nian, also opened his mouth and scolded angrily, "The world's people are facing a disaster, but they didn't do anything and just watched everything happen! It's simply intolerable for them to betray their own race like this! "
Hearing Jue Nian's scolding, everyone was shocked. Normally, even if they were given ten thousand guts, they wouldn't dare to say such things in public. However, now that everyone was hiding underground and had fallen into such a situation, no one refuted anything. Even if they didn't open their mouths to agree, there was no doubt that everyone had great resentment towards the Hachiko clan.
Even the sects had joined forces to fight against the Exotic Beasts, but the Hachiko clan clearly had the strength but didn't save humans. The anger and disappointment in their hearts towards the Hachiko clan was indescribable.
At this moment, the Sect Master of the Heaven Devouring Sect, Mo Ce, turned to look at Lu An and said in an extremely heavy voice, "Alliance Master Lu, say something."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Lu An, and Lu An immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at Lu An, and Lu An also looked at everyone. His gaze was very calm, or rather, it seemed even deeper and darker in this dim underground. As his true thoughts, he really wanted to say something.
For example, the Hachiko clan must have their own reasons for doing this.
Lu An didn't believe in the Hachiko clan, but he would always believe in Fu Yu. Even Fu Yu didn't do anything, which meant that the Hachiko clan had more important things to do.
Thinking about Fu Yu's injuries and the words that Gao Zhanxing had asked Liu Yi to pass to him, Lu An felt extremely guilty.
However, these words were not suitable for him to say, nor did he want to say them. He looked at everyone and said calmly, "I will work hard to cultivate and become a Level Nine Heavenly Master as soon as possible."
"…"
Many people frowned when they heard this. It was obvious that this was not what they wanted to hear. As for what they wanted to hear … it should be Lu An's apology, right?
As for why Lu An wanted to apologize, they couldn't give a reason. Or rather, all the reasons had been refuted by Liu Yi a long time ago. However, they wanted to find someone to take the blame for today's situation.
For example, the Hachiko clan and Lu An.
Looking at everyone's dissatisfied eyes, Lu An still looked very calm and didn't say anything.
"Don't you feel guilty?" After waiting for a few breaths, Su Keming finally couldn't help but ask Lu An angrily, "The war started because of your dragon bones, and you're a member of the Hachiko clan. Don't you feel ashamed?!"
Lu An only glanced at Su Keming. However, he didn't answer Su Keming. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, "That's all I can say and do. As for the rest, please forgive me for not talking about it."
