Chapter 298: The Dao Ancestor Is Here

On the battlefield, Jiang Ye’s palms were shrouded in black gas, and his figure was like a ghost as he shuttled back and forth quickly. Along the way, he quickly waved his palms, and black palm shadows struck the Qiangliang warriors along the way, helping many soldiers restrain the enemy’s offensive.

Jiang Ye’s realm was still too low, and that was the only use he had on the battlefield. Not only him, but all the martial artists below the Grotto-heaven realm were the same. They either relied on the luck formation of the army or could only distract the attention of the Qiangliang warriors.

Even though the Qiangliang Race was powerful, they were practically fighting against a thousand or even ten thousand enemies at once. They were attacked from all directions, which made them furious.

It seemed to be a stalemate, but in fact, the casualties of the Human Race were extremely high. However, they were completely willing to sacrifice their lives to fill the gap in strength.

Ji Wujun was besieged by five Qiangliang warriors. She held the Dragon Soul

Silver Spear with one hand, and strange patterns started to appear on her neck. Her true qi condensed into a vortex behind her, and phantoms flew out one after another. Like her clones, she used different martial arts techniques to besiege the surrounding Qiangliang warriors.

All these years, she did not delay her training. Her strength had already reached the Eighth Grotto-heaven realm. Coupled with her talent in battle, it was not difficult for her to sweep through the Grotto-heaven realm.

Her performance attracted the attention of many Qiangliang warriors, and more and more enemies rushed towards her.

The Qiangliang Race was indeed powerful. Even the weakest among them were in the One Grotto-heaven realm. However, most of the members of the Qiangliang Race were used to fighting with their physical bodies and were easily interfered with by the martial arts techniques of the martial artists. On the other hand, the Qiangliang warriors above the Nine Grotto-heaven realm were different. They could not execute any martial arts techniques, but they could utilize their innate abilities like fire-breathing.

Boom!

A Qiangliang warrior covered in white fur descended from the sky. With a wave of its arms, endless wind blades exploded with it as the center. The wind blades tore through the earth and stirred up dust. Countless Great Jing soldiers were sent flying, and some were minced into meat paste on the spot.

The Mansion Master of the Dragon Transformation Mansion, Zhu Tianzhi, rushed over. Dozens of martial artists from the Dragon Transformation Mansion followed closely behind him. Their true qi gathered together, making them look like Dragons of Luck.

As time passed, the battlefield became more and more chaotic.

Xu Tianji stood on the tall pagoda and looked at the row of figures at the end of the earth. Those figures were still in the dust storm and had yet to come out.

Behind them was an even larger figure. In front of them, he looked like a child.

“What are they waiting for?”

Xu Tianji frowned and muttered to himself.

No one answered him. The surrounding generals were busy directing the battlefield in all directions. A large number of wounded soldiers had been sent back, and more soldiers had rushed to the battlefield.

Unknowingly, the sky had been covered by dark clouds, as if a storm was about to arrive. One could vaguely hear the sound of thunder.

Barren Province, the mansion of the provincial minister.

Jiang Han was anxious. He could not see the specific situation of the battle, but he could see many Qiangliang warriors flying and landing in the distance. This meant that the situation was disadvantageous for the Human Race.

His hands that held the small cauldron trembled. He had been restraining himself from questioning the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad because this battle was inevitable. In any case, they were going to fight, so why should he request a prophecy? They would die even if they surrendered without a fight because they were facing an enemy race, not the Human Race.

Even though he did not know the situation of the battle, he was the Emperor, so he was the most sensitive to the luck of Great Jing. He could sense that the luck of Great Jing was decreasing very quickly. In this battle, Great Jing had gathered most of its experts. Their sacrifices had a huge impact on the luck of the dynasty. The steep decline in the luck of the dynasty was very clear, so clear that it frightened the Emperor.

Before this battle, Jiang Han had been fantasizing about his future achievements, but he did not expect the Qiangliang Race to be so powerful.

Now, he began to imagine the situation after the defeat.

He had always hoped that he would become the turning point of Great Jing, allowing Great Jing to soar and become a Sacred Dynasty. However, he did not expect that he might become the turning point of Great Jing’s downfall.

If he were to lose this war and the dynasty’s strength plummeted, how would the officials criticize him?

He did not expect Great Jing to forget about his mistake because there was an immortal in Great Jing. Even when the dynasty was about to be destroyed, that immortal would still exist.

At that moment, he even thought about how great it would be if Great Jing were to be destroyed if he were to lose…

This way, no one would continue to insult him in history books.

However, this thought only lasted for an instant. Soon after, he felt ashamed. How could he compare with Taizong and Tianzong if he had such thoughts?

At that moment, he finally understood the gap between him and Taizong and Tianzong. At the very least, the two former emperors would never have such thoughts. They would only be more determined.

It turned out that there were differences between emperors. Even though they all had the Dao Ancestor’s backing, their mentality in the face of adversity was crucial.

Disregarding the Jiang Family’s bloodline, he, Jiang Han, was ultimately an ordinary person, just like how he was worried about his younger brothers when he was young.

Jiang Han took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.

He decided to trust his soldiers. Great Jing would not disappoint him!

At that moment, a White-robed Guard flew into the mansion one by one and began to report the situation. The provincial minister and a group of officials stood behind Jiang Han and listened to the White-robed Guard’s report. As they listened to the terrifying number of casualties, all the officials felt fear, unprecedented fear.

This war would not cause Great Jing to collapse, right?

They could not help but look at Jiang Han, but they found that his expression did not change as he continued to stare into the distance.

From his calm look, they admired him from the bottom of their hearts. As expected of the successor of Taizong and Tianzong. Just his calmness was enough to prove that he was not a mediocre ruler.

Boom!

Guan Tongyou was crushed to the ground by the huge fist. He spat out blood and revealed a painful expression.

“Human martial artist, where did your previous might go?”

A Qiangliang warrior that was nearly twenty thousand feet tall half-knelt on the ground as it looked down at the insignificant figure beneath its fist. Its words were filled with mockery.

The Qiangliang warrior’s fur was blood-red, and two horns protruded from its head. Its physique was obviously more terrifying than other Qiangliang warriors. Just by looking at its physical body, one could sense the destructive power contained in it.

The Great Paragon realm!

Guan Tongyou gritted his teeth and mobilized the true qi in his body. He wanted to push the fist away, but unfortunately, he could not.

His talent in battle was indeed terrifying, but the gap between a Martial King Realm expert and the Great Paragon realm was too huge. It was simply insurmountable. At the very least, he could not cross it.

Ever since he came to the Great Wilderness, Guan Tongyou had never been in such a sorry state. Most importantly, he knew his role well. He knew he was not unique in the Great Jing’s army. Therefore, he was not afraid of death. He was only afraid that the entire Great Jing’s army would be wiped out.

At that moment, the Great Paragon Qiangliang stood up and released its fist. Guan Tongyou immediately escaped and quickly distanced himself from it.

If Guan Tongyou had not used the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law to refine the abilities of so many ferocious beasts, he would not have been able to withstand a single punch.

After he pulled away, he looked up and found that the Great Paragon

Qiangliang did not chase after him. Instead, it looked at him teasingly.

Behind the Great Venerable Qiangliang, a row of figures was advancing. The dust waves were lifted and figures comparable to the Great Paragon Qiangliang appeared. Their auras were strong and not weak.

“Fourth brother, what are you doing? Why didn’t you kill him?”

“This farce should end now.”

“Although many of our people have died, it saves us from feeding those wastes.”

“How did the Human Race scare off the Nine Nether Devil King? I really don’t understand.”

“We’ve waited for so long, but there’s still no stronger existence among the

Human Race. This means that this is already the upper limit of the Human

Race.”

Loud voices sounded one after another. They chatted by themselves and did not pay any attention to Guan Tongyou.

Guan Tongyou turned his head around. As he turned his head, there were corpses and rivers of blood. The soldiers of Great Jing were still fighting in the distance. If these terrifying existences in front of him were to attack them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With that in mind, Guan Tongyou turned around and looked at the Great Paragon Qiangliang.

He took a deep breath and his eyes were filled with determination, just like when he challenged the Sky Crow Race alone.

He raised his hand and the halberd buried in the mud flew into his hand. His gaze landed on the mysterious huge shadow at the back.

Compared to that huge shadow, the Great Paragon Qiangliang and the other existences seemed short. However, as the dust waves dispersed, a terrifying figure that was 50,000 feet tall appeared as it looked down at the entire land.

It had the head of a tiger and the body of a human. It wore dense bone armor, and its limbs were completely different from other warriors of the Qiangliang Race. Its limbs seemed extremely thick and strong. Most importantly, it had no fur on its body. Just like a human, its muscles were like boulders. It held a huge stone ax in its hand, as if it was holding a mountain.

“Your Majesty, can we end this now?”

The Great Paragon Qiangliang turned its head and asked with a respectful tone.

The king of the Qiangliang Race had a cold expression and did not open his mouth. However, his voice still resounded throughout the land. “Let’s end this. After slaughtering the humans, we will return as soon as possible.”

His words reached the ears of all the soldiers who were still fighting. Countless people turned around and saw the devil-like figure of the king of the Qiangliang Race. Everyone felt despair.

Some high-level martial artists saw Guan Tongyou’s back. Guan Tongyou, who was reputed to be the Martial Ancestor, was so insignificant in the face of these terrifying existences of the Qiangliang Race. He was like a grain of sand that the other party could blow to death with a single breath.

The Great Paragon Qiangliang turned around and looked at Guan Tongyou with a hideous smile. “You are the most powerful human martial artist. I believe you were the one who created the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law. If you are willing to teach it to us, we can spare your life!”

Guan Tongyou was surprised that the other party did not plan to kill him. It turned out that they were here for the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law. He shouted, “Bastards of another race, you want to learn my martial arts technique? You’re not worthy. If you want to kill me, come!”

Boom!

Guan Tongyou released his aura and began to burn his blood and qi to push his strength to an unprecedented limit.

He wanted to fight to the death!

Hearing this, the Great Paragon Qiangliang was stunned for a moment before killing intent surfaced on its face. It suddenly raised its fist and punched towards Guan Tongyou from afar. A wave visible to the naked eye shook the space between them and swept towards Guan Tongyou.

Guan Tongyou’s face was contorted by the wind, and he was about to attack.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed and a blue sword shadow descended from the sky. It pierced through the earth and stood in front of Guan Tongyou to offset the wind from the incoming fist.

This blue sword shadow was not smaller than the Great Paragon Qianliang, no, it was even larger.

The Great Paragon Qiangliang retreated in fright and subconsciously looked up. With the thunderclouds surging in the sky, it could not see anyone.

The king of the Qiangliang Race frowned and said, “You’re finally willing to make a move!”

“It’s a little ugly for a Heaven and Earth Emperor realm expert to interfere in a low-level battle. The Human Race is not something you can destroy just because you want to.”

An indifferent voice sounded, allowing all the soldiers of Great Jing to hear it. However, most of them did not recognize this voice.

“The Dao Ancestor is here!”

Someone cried out in surprise. More and more voices like that quickly spread throughout the battlefield, making the soldiers and martial artists who had never heard the Dao Ancestor’s voice excited.

The legend of the Dao Ancestor was widespread… In their hearts, the Dao Ancestor was the most powerful existence in the world because he was an immortal god that had descended to the human world!
