Just as Zhang Ruochen and the others broke into into into the oasis, preparing to capture Princess Bai Li, outside of Winning Sand City, the great battle between the barbarian beast clans and the human race officially kicked off.
This time, it was the Human Race that took the initiative to strike.
What the barbarian beasts had done had reached the level of human and divine indignation, not only did they openly toy with, humiliate, scold, and belittle the human cultivators, but also, they treated the elite cultivators of the human race as a kind of food, using various ways to eat them up.
They used a ten foot by two foot long iron thorn to pierce in and enter from the top of a living young woman’s head, penetrate out from below, and set it on top of a fire to roast.
While roasting, the young woman could be heard wailing.
After roasting, they then share the food.
They threw the living person inside the iron pot, using various means such as steaming, boiling, and frying, and only in the end, did they slowly eat them.
In the past, in the First Central Empire, how had the human cultivators ever seen such horrors?
Some of the Yingjie among the human race awoke with a start and realised a serious problem.
If, the human cultivators could not become strong, one day, the relationship between the hunter and the prey would be switched.
Humans who were unwilling to be food for the savage beasts should come forward and fight them to rejuvenate the morale of the human race.
Since you have become a human in this life, you should also not be afraid of any challenges.
Tonight, this battle was led by the two Realm Sons, Chi Banzai and Bei Gong Lan, while the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Martial Market Money Bank, the Black Market One Piece Hall, and a number of ancient sects and medieval lineages, all participated in it.
Their aim was that even if they couldn’t save those captured human cultivators, they had to make the barbarian beast clans pay a heavy price and strike a majestic blow for the human race.
Chi Wan Ban Ban took the Withered Wood Pill, and the injuries on his body, which had already healed, returned to their peak state again.
His sturdy body, standing on top of the city wall of Winning Sand City, wearing a golden battle armour, exuding a stern aura, staring at the barbarian beast clans a hundred miles away.
Bei Gong Lan stood on the right side of Ji Huanan, wearing a plain green dress, with a pair of clear eyes, staring at the dragon’s shadow that appeared and disappeared in the clouds, saying, ”The cultivation of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon has, once again, risen greatly, and it should have already reached the peak of the Ninth Order Semi-Saint. With its current cultivation, it should be able to ascend to the number one position on the Half-Saint List, right?”
“Not necessarily.”?Hail Chi’s pair of tiger eyes surged with eye-catching golden light as he said, “The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon is progressing, and the other people on the 『Half-Saint List』 are also progressing rapidly. Aren’t the two of us, you and I, also advancing by leaps and bounds now, compared to when we just entered the Green Dragon Market Realm?”
Hail Chi raised his head and glanced towards the moon in the sky, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his voice, “Activate the Half-Saint level battleship.”?A low rumbling sound resounded from the central area of Winning Sand City.
Immediately after, hundreds of battleships took off, passing through the light shield formed by the city guard formation and flying in the direction of the barbarian beast clans, leaving dark shadows on the ground and blocking out the light of the moon and stars.
This was a forbidden artefact made by the Divine Engineering Department, known as a ‘Half-Saint Battleship’.
The cost of each battleship was very high, as huge as a mountain, and could erupt with Half-Saint level attack power.
A formation of hundreds of Half-Saint level warships would have the power to crush Saint realm beings.
Since it was a forbidden weapon, naturally, it could not be used easily.
It was only because Chi Banzai’s identity was quite special, belonging to the first Yingjie of the Imperial Clan, that he was able to get four hundred Half-Saint level battleships from the military camp of the Chaos Ten Thousand Boundaries Mountain, and brought them to the base of Winning Sand City.
It was precisely because, Chi Banzai held the forbidden weapons of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and thus, had enough backbone to call the shots with the barbarian beast clans.
Chi Banzai stood on top of the deck of one of the main ships, his gaze blazing as he gave an order, saying, “Attack.”?Inside the four hundred Half-Saint level warships, they let out a whining sound while gathering power, forming a circle of energy ripples around the hull of the ship.
“Wow…”
Four hundred white pillars of light flew out from the battleships, striking the ground and landing on the barbarian beast group’s camp.
“Rumble.”
The piece of earth shook violently, and densely scorched black pits appeared, as hundreds and thousands of savage beasts were shaken by that force, and flew up, turning into corpses.
On the ground, the miserable howls of the savage beasts resounded continuously.
At the same time, a large number of human cultivators followed behind the Half-Saint level warships and rushed out, killing into the battlefield and starting to harvest the lives of the savage beasts.
“Kill for me.”
“The moment of the decisive battle has arrived, we must make those savage beasts realise clearly who is the true master.”?……
Four hundred Half-Saint level warships opened the way in the front, and a large number of human cultivators followed closely behind, killing the savage beasts to the ground.
On the ground, there were beast corpses all over.
In the sky, a hundred-metre-long Ghost Eye Eagle flew in, with a pair of eyes as huge as lanterns, emitting a powerful aura at the Beast King level, and roared out sternly, “How dare the human cultivators take the initiative to kill out of Winning Sand City, today, I will definitely let you all have no way of coming back.”
“Since, you want to seek death, then I will destroy you first.”
Chi Wan Banzai was overbearing, pointing his finger towards the Ghost Eye Eagle King.
Four hundred Half-Saint level battleships, arranged into a ship formation, and above the battleships, a white light pillar one metre thick in diameter flew out at the same time.
Looking upwards from the ground, the four hundred pillars of light were like four hundred white rays, simultaneously attacking towards one point, striking the body of the Ghost Eye Eagle King.
“Boom!”?The body of the Ghost Eye Eagle King burst apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
A large rain of blood rained down from the sky, making a rustling sound.
A semi-saint level warship that could be called a forbidden artefact naturally had extraordinary power, and even a beast king could be killed with a single blow.
The fall of a Beast King caused the morale of the human cultivators to increase greatly, and they began to march forward at a high pitch, to completely disperse the savage beast community with a single blow.
“Ow!”?Underneath the ground, a furious whistling sound came out, forming a gale with the smell of blood.
Beneath the yellow sand, the huge body of the Golden Armoured Scorpion King slowly crawled out. Its pair of sharp giant pincers lifted up, emitting golden flames that struck at the Half-Saint level warships flying low in the sky.
In the formation of the ship, four hundred pillars of light flew out once again, colliding with the attack struck by the Golden Armoured Scorpion King.
The Golden Armoured Scorpion King wailed, and its huge body, flew out backwards.
On its back, a bloody hole appeared, and blood gushed outwards as if it were a spring.
“Even the defences of the Swift Ancient Remnant Species can’t stop the attack of the Ship Array.”
“Great, now let’s see how arrogant those beast kings still are?”
All of those human cultivators became excited and became confident, constantly striking their attacks out.
The thing that the human cultivators feared the most was the Beast Kings, however, the two Beast Kings had only just appeared, and one was dead and one was injured.
Since this was the case, what was there to fear?
The four hundred Half-Saint level warships began to gather their strength again, preparing to kill the golden-armoured scorpion king and establish prestige for the human race.
“Swish!”
The Heaven Swallowing Demonic Dragon transformed into a humanoid body, wearing a black Xuan Clothes, and descended from the sky, landing on top of the Golden Armoured Scorpion King’s head.
Wisps of black demonic mist condensed into hundreds of dragon shadows that flew around him.
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, like a world-defying demon god, exchanged a glance with Chi Wan Banzai, who was standing on the deck of the main ship, and laughed, “Empress Chi Yao deserves to be one of the strongest beings born in the Kunlun Realm after the Medieval Period, and is actually capable of constructing such a powerful battle weapon.”
“However, to be the first human emperors of the Human Imperial Clan, but to have to resort to the treasures refined by the Empress before daring to fight against the savage beasts is really quite disappointing to me. After the Nine Emperors and the Empress, is there really no one left in the human race?”?Banzai Chi appeared calm and did not get angered by the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s sarcasm as he said, “Arranging formations, using battleships, or using Saint Weapons are actually all part of one’s own strength. Isn’t it?”
“You’re right.”
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon nodded and added, “However, although the ship formation arranged by the four hundred Half-Saint level warships is powerful, I do not place it in my eyes.”
Among the human cultivators, there was an uproar, and all of them felt that the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon was too arrogant.
The power that erupted from the ship formation was there for all to see, and even the Golden Armoured Scorpion King was seriously injured.
Even a Saint of the Lower Realm would probably not dare to touch it.
Under the Saint realm, there were still living beings that could withstand it?
“In that case, let’s see if you can block the attack of the ship formation.”Banzai Ji said in a deep voice.
Above each of the four hundred Half-Saint level warships, a circular formation coalesced, spinning rapidly and gathering its power to its peak.
The attack wave of the ship formation, before it even struck out, a huge aura that oppressed the soul, had already emanated out, landing on the bodies of the human cultivators and savage beasts.
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon let out a light laugh and stretched out one of its right hands, touching its navel.
“Wow!”
In the navel, a circle of black light overflowed.
His hand, from within his body, ripped out a dragon bone.
That dragon bone, there were a total of seven hundred and twenty-eight sections, and on the surface of the bone, ancient black patterns emerged.
Just as the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon pulled out the dragon bone, a berserk dragon roar immediately resounded for thousands of miles around.
Seven hundred and twenty-eight dragon shadows, from the clouds, from the ground, flew out, all of them converging towards the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon.
The dragon bone also became more and more gigantic, as if it had transformed into a mountain range, connecting the ground and the sky.
It could be imagined that the dragon bone was definitely not the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s own bones, but rather a Dragon Race Great Saint, leaving behind a main bone that could be called a dragon vein.
The Sky-Swallowing Demon Dragon whipped out its dragon bone and attacked towards the formation of four hundred half-saint level warships.
The power that erupted from the dragon bone shattered the space of the Green Dragon Market Realm, and dozens of spatial cracks appeared.
The formation of four hundred Half-Saint level warships sent an attack wave out, striking at the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon.
“Boom.”?The dragon bone fell and struck on top of the ship formation’s ship protector array, causing the ship protector array to tremble violently.
The attack struck by the four hundred Half-Saint level warships failed to hit the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon.
The disadvantage of the ship formation was revealed.
The attack power of the ship formation was indeed strong enough to kill saints, however, the means of attack were not flexible enough. It was naturally easy to deal with ordinary beast kings, but it was simply unable to deal with the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon.
“Boom!”
“Boom.”
……
The Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon struck the dragon bone out seventeen times in a row, finally piercing through the ship guard formation and landing amongst the four hundred Half-Saint level warships.
In that instant, more than twenty Half-Saint level battleships shattered, turning into piles of mountain-sized scrap metal that crashed to the ground.
With the loss of more than twenty battleships, the ship formation naturally had a huge loophole, and against the Beast King, it was no longer able to pose much of a threat.
At the same time, ten Beast Kings, leading ten savage beast clans, charged towards the gates of Winning Sand City, cutting off the retreat of the human cultivators.
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon held the Dragon Bone and stood in the air, looking down at the humans and savage beasts below, saying, “Tonight, let’s eliminate all the human cultivators at the base of Winning Sand City, and from now on, let’s all kill to our heart’s content.”
A steady stream of savage beasts, surging from all directions, surrounded the human cultivators and launched a frenzied massacre.
