Chapter 355: 69: The Great Calamity in the Primitive World, Blood Moon in the Sky
Translator: 549690339
The battlefield situation was extremely urgent, with countless rows of various monster armies stretching as far as the eye could see, outnumbering the human race cultivators significantly.
Giant tooth ants the size of grown men emerged from the yellow sands, their massive bodies encased in a hard, dark shell.
In the sky, various strange birds took their positions, including bloody sparrows with gorilla eyes, human-faced owls, black feather eagles, and four-eyed crows. They all swooped in, completely blocking the line of sight.
There were as many as tens of thousands of them, all large in size. Some of them could flip a small hill just by flapping their wings once.
Within the monster army, in addition to the Demon Kings, there were many other intelligent demonic creatures that were not weak, capable of contending with human cultivators.
A large number of human cultivators emerged from the city, originally intending to kill the demons for revenge, but now found themselves in a precarious situation.
“You dare to eat my Junior Female Apprentice; I’ll never forget this grudge! Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!” A young sword cultivator man in the Golden Core Realm, who had suffered heavy injuries in the battle against the Demon King, was already at the end of his tether.
He charged into a swarm of giant tooth ants and black scorpions, self-detonating his Golden Core. Consequently, he and the thousands of demons perished together. The explosion’s force spread for hundreds of miles, wiping out a large area of the desert, with scattered black demon blood and severed limbs attesting to the tragic fate of the Golden Core sword cultivator.
Not long ago, he had accepted the sect’s order to garrison Anxi Prefecture, but during the battle, his beloved junior female apprentice had been killed by the claw of a Scorpion Demon King.
Her body was torn in half and devoured clean by the swarm of scorpions.
He had always wanted revenge, and now, he had finally gotten what he wished for.
There had always been many warriors in human cultivators who were not afraid of life and death. They neither feared death nor sought a compromise. They would never hand over their own people and sit idly by. They would not hand over Zhao Huai to the Demon Emperor for disposal, nor would they beg for their lives on their knees.
All they knew was that even if they had to exhaust their last drop of blood, they would stand till they died.
A few powerful auras emanated from the human cultivators.
It turned out that Zi Yun, Chen Jianshu, Cai Yuxiang, and others had taken the Break-Prohibition Pill and temporarily broke through to the Rebirth Realm.
“Whoosh!”
A sword rainbow streaked across the sky, and Chen Jianshu held a green snake-shaped sword as he returned to defend Anxi Prefecture. He single-handedly fought against five Demon Kings in the Fifth Realm, blocking them all.
At the same time, many Rebirth Realm elders fought against even stronger Demon Kings who had crossed the Sixth Realm twice or even three times.
The timely retreat of the powerful human cultivators made the battle situation slightly better. They turned into sharp knives, plunged directly into the rear of the demon army.
With the escalating war, the number of both sides participating in the fight grew and grew. In the originally desolate desert, deafening roars echoed incessantly. At every moment, both cultivators and demonic beasts fell.
However, the Primitive World had come prepared, with the total number of these monsters amounting to ten times the number of the human race, and the number of Demon Kings was several times greater than that of the human powerhouses.
Atop the thick city wall, Yu Qinghan wore a six-petalled phoenix silver armor. Her slender back stood upright, her slanted eyes exceedingly sharp, as she stood on the city wall of Anxi Prefecture with a long halberd held by the Four Members of The Forbidden Army beside her.
Her expression occasionally turned solemn.
She also really wanted to join the battlefield, to live and die alongside the soldiers of Xia Country, the sect disciples, the elders, and the young geniuses.
However, she couldn’t.
She was the brain and commanding officer of Anxi Prefecture.
If she joined the battle, everything would fall into chaos, and if she fell into the Demon Emperor’s hands, the consequence would be even worse with morale possibly plummeting.
All she could do was try to deal with this crisis in the Primitive World.
This catastrophe had to be successfully weathered by the human race. Otherwise, they would be invaded by the three major worlds, and the situation would become even more severe.
This decisive battle seemed to be the result of Zhao Huai provoking the anger of various Demon Emperors.
But in reality, it was a manifestation of the desperation in the Primitive World’s demons.
