Chapter 555: Grand Slaughter
"Invade the Hun Realm? Alliance Leader Xiao, what are your thoughts?"
Gu Yuan, whose hair was a mess, suppressed his aura. The expression on his face was extremely serious. After a brief moment of thought, he turned to Xiao Ming.
"I have no objections, but the alliance army has suffered heavy losses. Do we still possess the strength to launch an assault on the Hun Realm?"
Xiao Ming looked at the alliance army. The Death World Formation set up by the Hun Clan had severely crippled the Three Clans. It would take them hundreds if not thousands of years to recover from their losses.
In contrast, the Heavenly Court had emerged relatively unscathed, thanks largely to the protective measures taken by Zhu Zhen and Zi Yan.
His objective had been largely achieved. Therefore, he saw no reason to decline the opportunity to eradicate the Hun Clan.
"Well..."
Gu Yuan hesitated as he surveyed the members of the Three Clans, a heavy burden weighing on his heart.
Among the Three Clans, the Gu Clan's army had been the first to mobilize and was thus farthest from the protection of Zhu Zhen's Deathly Silence Gate. Consequently, many Dou Saints had either been killed or gravely wounded.
The only source of solace for him now was the sight of his cherished daughter, safe and sound among the Heavenly Court's forces. It seemed that if not for the intervention of Xiao Ming's people, his heart would have borne an unbearable agony this time.
However, given the current state of the alliance's army, attempting to invade the Hun Realm would likely result in the few remaining people being wiped out.
For a long time, they had believed that the strength of the Gu Clan, if not enough to defeat the Hun Clan, should at least be comparable to their strength. But today's brutal reality had shown them that the Gu Clan was indeed no match for the Hun Clan.
'After the Xiao Clan was defeated back then, there was no other faction left on this continent that could oppose the Hun Clan.' Gu Yuan sighed inwardly. He also felt some regret in his heart. Perhaps they should not have stayed on the sidelines in the past.
If the Xiao Clan were still around, the Hun Clan would definitely not dare to start this war, no matter how bold they were.
"In my opinion, it would be best if only a few of us with strength at or above the Eight-Star Stage invaded the Hun Realm. The combined power of two Nine-Star experts, along with us, should be enough to turn the Hun Realm upside down!"
Lei Ying, gritting his teeth in resolve, was unwilling to back down. Had it not been for his own survival, the Hun Clan might have weakened the Lei Clan to an even more dismal state than the Ling Clan of the past. Retreating at this point was unacceptable to him!
"Agreed, let's proceed with this plan!" Yan Jin also nodded decisively.
If the Hun Clan successfully opened the mansion and discovered the secret to breaking through to the Dou God realm, they would truly have no chance to turn the situation around. In the eyes of a true Dou God, the so-called alliance would be as insignificant as drifting weeds.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Entering the Hun Realm would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous. If they failed, their fate would be no different from that of the Ling Clan and the other two clans. However, the Hun Clan had always been a devious foe. In order to preserve their clan's bloodline, no sacrifice was too great. This was a battle they must fight!
"In the meantime, the alliance army should remain stationed in the Heavenly Court. We should use this time to destroy the locations of all the Hall of Souls, which act as the claws of the Hun Clan, in the Central Plains." Xiao Ming proposed as the consensus was reached.
The Hall of Souls had yet to be completely eliminated. Now, with free labor available, there was no reason not to make use of it.
"It's Gu Yuan! The Clan Head was right; they've followed us into the realm!"
Outside the array, some of the Hun Clan experts recognized Gu Yuan.
"Activate the array and kill him!"
Boom!
Numerous Hun Clan experts simultaneously channeled their Dou Qi, wildly infusing it into the blood-colored canopy above. The crimson color in the canopy intensified under the influence of their Dou Qi.
A ray of blood-red light descended from the canopy, radiating a destructive energy that tore through space and quickly approached Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan remained composed. The Hun Clan's preparedness was well within his expectations. It would be strange if they weren't prepared.
"Gu Di Shattering Nirvana Finger!"
The Dou Qi within Gu Yuan surged to its peak, and with a low shout, the overwhelming Dou Qi condensed into a massive finger. Strange patterns covered its surface as he launched it towards the approaching blood-red ray.
Boom!
The blood light collided with the giant finger in a thunderous clash. Then the blood light shattered instantly.
However, the momentum of the giant finger remained undiminished, smashing into the blood-colored canopy in the sky with lightning-like speed.
Creak!
Upon impact, the seemingly sturdy defense crumbled almost instantly, as though crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. The Hun Clan experts outside the array collectively spat out blood.
The moment the array shattered, Gu Yuan appeared in a flash, his terrifying aura bursting forth like a tidal wave. The Dou Saints and Dou Venerates forming the formation, already reeling from the backlash, were instantly crushed into minced meat.
At this moment, Lei Ying and the others also entered the Hun Realm and saw Gu Yuan's display of power. Their spirits were ignited by the sight. With their Dou Qi unleashed, they fanned out in all directions and launched devastating attacks.
Under the relentless bombardment of Dou Qi, buildings and mountain ranges crumbled, reduced to nothing but ruins.
Meanwhile,Xiao Ming chose not to rush into action immediately. Instead, he hovered high in the sky, expanding his spiritual perception to its fullest extent as he meticulously searched for the whereabouts of Hun Tiandi.
As the sounds of battle continued to echo through the realm, they grew louder with each passing moment. The initially faint scent of blood became increasingly pungent as more lives were claimed in the ongoing conflict...
Despite the chaos that Gu Yuan and the others were causing in the Hun Realm. Surprisingly, there was still no sign of Hun Tiandi!
Unless Hun Tiandi was deliberately holding back a powerful countermove, the situation seemed unreasonable.It would be better to find and eliminate him sooner rather than later!
