The head of these giant arrows was filled with divine item fragments. Although their power was a far cry from the detonation of a divine item, even Empyreans would be killed if they were in the effective explosion area. They would only be able to survive if they had a divine item level armor.
These fragments had been given to Guo Ran by Long Chen, while the intact divine items had been distributed to those who could use them. However, there was a portion of bizarre divine items that no one was skilled with, so Guo Ran had smashed them apart for their fragments.
“Kill that golden monstrosity!”
Guo Ran had already shot over a hundred arrows. Those arrows had killed tens of thousands of experts.
However, if you compared it to the army of one million five hundred thousand, it wasn’t a devastating blow. The real effect was a vicious blow to their morale.
Guo Ran’s actions fully provoked them. Three ancient race experts shot after him, their manifestations appearing behind them. Their auras weren’t weaker than Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and the others.
“The ancient races also sent out three peak experts?!” exclaimed someone from the neutral camp.
“That’s normal. If you think about it, the Corrupt path sent their three kings, the Bloodkill Hall sent three divine emissaries, Heavenly Fate Island sent their four Fate Princes, and Pill Valley sent those twelve experts on top of Huo Lieyun. Since this is the case, the ancient races naturally have to send experts on that level. There are also two powerful experts from the ancient family alliance hiding in the crowd. They should be two peak experts sent in addition to Di Feng.”
“Then you mean even the Xuan Beasts have more than just True Immortal Jiaoqi? Heavens, I just noticed two of them!”
Through that person’s deduction, others noticed two terrifying Xuan Beast experts hidden in the crowd. They hadn’t joined the fight, but the fluctuations coming out of them were heavy like a mountain.
“It seems the Corrupt path, ancient races, ancient family alliance, Xuan Beasts, Bloodkill Hall, Heavenly Fate Island, and Pill Valley are planning on completely annihilating the elites of the Martial Heaven Alliance.”
“Without the fracturing of the interior of the Martial Heaven Alliance, such a thing would be impossible. It could only be said that the Martial Heaven Alliance’s problem is within itself.”
Within the neutral camp, a woman tightly held another woman’s hand. She begged, “Big sister, go help Long Chen! After all, he saved me!”
The one speaking was Qi Xuan, while the one she was begging was Qi Fengxue. They had just happened to encounter Long Chen in the Yin Yang World.
Qi Fengxue sighed, “We can’t help with this.
“Why not?” Qi Xuan was very disappointed.
“Our Heaven Reaching Ancient Castle exists because of an agreement with the other powers. We can be independent because we don’t interfere with their struggles, but if we did, it would be breaking the rules of our alliance. Not only can I not interfere, but these people standing here on the neutral side also can’t. If we did, we would be drawn into this whirlpool. If we entered this whirlpool, our Heaven Reaching Ancient Castle would be drawn in as well. So don’t blame your big sister,” said Qi Fengxue helplessly.
These neutral powers could not participate in other people’s grudges. So other powers didn’t want to provoke them, allowing them to maintain a peaceful territory.
However, if they were to take the initiative to enter the whirlpool, then they would be breaking the rules of that treaty. In the future, they would have to join either the Martial Heaven Alliance or Pill Valley’s side. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed.
So even though Long Chen had shown kindness to Qi Xuan, and not helping him during this time would be like refusing to pay back the favor, Qi Fengxue still couldn’t do anything. It would implicate her whole family.
“If I wasn’t from a neutral power, I’d definitely join Long Chen. Pill Valley’s actions are unacceptable. I’d even describe them as vile,” added someone else. As people from neutral parties, they were able to see things clearer than others who were part of the struggle. That was the difference between people who were part of the game and people who were outside the game.
“It’s a pity. The difference is too immense. Even if Long Chen grew three heads and six arms, he wouldn’t be able to turn things around.” Someone else sighed regretfully.
On the battlefield, Long Chen was fighting against Huo Lieyun, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Xie Luo. Although he was at full power with his divine ring spinning behind him, he was still at a disadvantage.
Huo Lieyun, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Xie Luo attacked frantically, not letting Long Chen have any chance to use a paragon art. This was their safest way of subduing him, as well as the most effective. Even trying to drag one of them down with him would be very difficult.
The other battlefields were mostly even. Only Yue Zifeng was at an advantage, dominating the Heaven Slayer divine emissary. However, that divine emissary was also a peak expert, and even if he was countered by Yue Zifeng as a sword cultivator, he was able to last for a while.
The three ancient race experts flew over at Guo Ran. They looked like they wanted to immediately tear him apart.
“Ignorant children, you dare to challenge your daddy Guo? Using my boss’s words, killing you will only take one move. Which one of you three dares to send yourself to death first? Or do you want to come together?” Guo Ran put away his crossbow, instead summoning his golden armor and a pair of sabers. He pointed one of the sabers at the three ancient race experts.
“Die!”
One of the ancient race experts took the lead, his battle-ax shining. If the three of them attacked at once, it would be elevating Guo Ran’s status, as well as lowering their own.
“Tch, for someone like you, it would be my loss if you could even break my golden battle armor’s defenses,” taunted Guo Ran. His armor also lit up, and he crossed his sabers in front of him, taking on a defensive posture.
“Today I’ll shatter this tortoise shell of yours!”
The ancient race expert raised his battle-ax. A terrifying divine might raged.
“Dragonblood Cross Slash!”
Just as that expert was preparing to unleash a powerful paragon art, Guo Ran let out a shout.
The void shook and over twelve thousand Dragonblood warriors appeared in the distance. Their bodies lit up, and rays of light merged into Guo Ran’s body.
A giant cross slashed out. The center of it struck the ancient race expert.
That ancient race expert had been summoning a paragon art. Just as he was about to finish, he suddenly saw this attack, causing his expression to change. He wanted to dodge, but his paragon art had already been prepared. He was caught. He had no time to unleash it and no time to dispel it.
His head was blank. A single thought appeared: he had been taken in.
The giant cross blew him apart along with the initial form of his paragon art. The immense power sent the other two ancient race experts flying. They wildly vomited blood.
This sudden attack and result was unbelievable to the spectators. Just like that, a peak expert had been slain? Furthermore, he was slain by a nameless nobody.
“He’s called Guo Ran? How come I’ve never heard of him?” asked a person in the neutral camp.
“He actually does have some fame. He got into the top ten of the Devil Slaughter Rankings, but there was a great deal of controversy over his ranking. Apparently, his cultivation base is average, his talent is very lacking, and his actual combat power is garbage. However, he is skilled in the forging arts, and just by relying on his armor, he is able to fight against peak experts.”
“How sinister. He intentionally acted like he was going to defend, baiting his opponent into attacking, only to unleash a sudden attack as his opponent’s paragon art reached a critical moment. That person’s death was quite unjust.” No matter what, being able to use a paragon art meant that
you were a peak expert. However, such a figure had died just like this. It gave others a strange feeling.
“Come, that one didn’t count! Let’s see who can break my defense!” Guo Ran once more took the same posture, facing the two furious ancient race experts.
“Fuck off!” The two of them naturally wouldn’t fall for it again. Wielding their divine items, they charged at Guo Ran.
“First captain of Long Chen’s Dragonblood Legion, Gu Yang, is here for pointers.”
A spear pierced through the air, and a bald warrior charged at one of the ancient race experts, his entire body covered in blood-colored scales.
BOOM!
Their two divine items clashed, ripping apart the void. The ancient race expert was knocked back by Gu Yang’s spear, stunned.
Everyone else was also stunned. Yue Zifeng was beating the Heaven Slayer divine emissary, and now Gu Yang had forced back this ancient race expert. Were all the warriors of the Dragonblood Legion so terrifying? Each captain had the power of a peak expert?
Just as Gu Yang attacked, the sky dimmed. A giant wing slammed down at the other ancient race expert.
Chapter 1897 The Golden Tide
A multicolored wing smashed down from the sky. Brilliant light erupted out of it.
Cloud had now refined the Blue Eye Peacock’s essence blood, and her aura had transformed. The power of her attack shook the sky.
BOOM!
The ancient race expert hastily activated his divine item, only to be sent flying by Cloud’s attack.
Cloud let out a crystal-clear bird cry. A black ray of light shot after that expert.
The ancient race expert roared. His manifestation shook, and the roaring of countless beasts suddenly came from it. He was going all out, unleashing his divine item and activating his paragon art. He had no other choice. The instant Cloud’s attack appeared, his hair stood on end. This was a terrifying attack that he couldn’t take lightly.
The light of a paragon art filled the sky. Two forbidden powers clashed, causing heaven and earth to rumble.
“Heavens, when did so many terrifying existences appear in the Dragonblood Legion?!” Startled cries came from the neutral camp.
Yue Zifeng, Guo Ran, Gu Yang, and Cloud had shown power equivalent to a peak expert.
“Brothers of the Martial Heaven Alliance, don’t panic. This so-called army is nothing more than a mob. Dragonblood Legion, attack!” Guo Ran gave a rallying cry. Golden wings spread on his back, and he charged toward the rear army.
“Bastard, come at me if you have any guts. I’ll smash apart your tortoise shell!” Someone from the Xuan Beasts suddenly charged toward Guo Ran. This expert was also a peak expert. His status was only slightly lower than True Immortal Jiaoqi, and his combat power was only slightly, slightly lower than him.
“You? Killing someone else would only take one move, but as for you? You’re not even fit to fight me.” Guo Ran actually ignored him, charging toward the ordinary experts.
“Second captain of Long Chen’s Dragonblood Legion, Li Qi, here for a challenge.”
The ground suddenly split open, and an earthen giant climbed out. Li Qi was standing on top of its head when it first climbed up, but then he merged within it.
Golden runes flowed around the earthen giant. Rather than being made of earth, it now seemed to be made of gold. It came to life, unleashing a powerful punch at that Xuan Beast expert.
The Xuan Beast expert unleashed an all-out attack but was still sent flying. Although the golden giant was huge, it was surprisingly agile.
The Xuan Beast expert started a furious battle against the golden giant. However, just at that moment, on the other side, another golden giant climbed out of the ground.
“Third captain of Long Chen’s Dragonblood Legion, Song Mingyuan, here for advice.”
Song Mingyuan and Li Qi were the same. They were both powerful earth cultivators, but through the purification of their bloodline, by stimulating the potential of their ancestors’ blood, a mutation had occurred in their earth energy, giving birth to a trace of metal energy.
Their normal earthen giants were powerful but lacked a certain toughness, a certain suppliability. In a direct clash, their bodies would easily crumble. By adding this metal energy, their movements became smoother.
Most importantly, Guo Ran, with his heaven-defying karmic luck, had led the Dragonblood Legion through the Yin Yang World, and he had found a secret tome relating to earth cultivators. The two of them had learned a merging art, allowing them to become one with these golden giants.
The two golden giants gave off immense pressure to the other side, while the morale of the Martial Heaven Alliance’s disciples soared.
Guo Ran had already reached the rear army. His golden sabers were slaughtering his enemies, with no one able to stop him.
These golden sabers were no longer his old golden sabers. They were a pair of divine items Long Chen had gained after killing a Xuan Beast expert. With a pair of divine items, Guo Ran was like a tiger with wings.
“Die!”
Guo Ran had just charged into the opposing army when two figures appeared, one coming from the left and the other coming from the right. Their auras gave off a chilling feeling. They were from the ancient family alliance.
The truth was that the Corrupt path, ancient races, ancient family alliance, Xuan Beasts, Pill Valley, Bloodkill Hall, and Heavenly Fate Island had made a meticulous trap using the Yin Yang World. They had sent out powerful killers to make sure that Long Chen never left the Yin Yang World alive.
As a result, they had sent their elite geniuses. Other than Pill Valley, all the other powers had sent at least three peak experts each.
These peak experts had been hidden from the rest of the world. As for these two experts from the ancient family alliance, they were on the same level as Di Feng.
The two of them had just attacked when tearing sounds appeared. The void was being torn apart by divine feathers slicing through the air like swords. Meng Qi had appeared to counter them.
The two ancient family alliance’s experts slashed their divine items into the feathers, causing booming noises to ring out.
Meng Qi was surrounded by flying divine feathers. They were incomparably sharp. Even without Cloud, Meng Qi was able to block them.
A storm of wind blades suddenly unfurled as Tang Wan-er also joined. She and Meng Qi each took one of these two ancient family alliance experts. Their sharp attacks forced them to retreat over and over again.
Just at this moment, the Dragonblood Legion arrived at the battlefield. Over twelve thousand Dragonblood warriors charged in. They showed people why a battle was bloody, why it was cruel, why it was violent.
All the Dragonblood warriors were covered in red-scale armor. They were like revived evil dragons.
Currently, over two thousand of the Dragonblood warriors were Empyreans. Although the majority were still rank nine Celestials, their power caused even the Empyreans to shiver.
The current Dragonblood warriors were the true Dragonblood warriors. They had finished refining the evil dragon essence blood. In fact, the density of their dragon blood was even greater than Long Chen’s.
After all, Long Chen had only absorbed a single drop of dragon blood, while the metal devouring evil dragon had been waiting for a chance for nirvanic rebirth, resulting in it collecting a great deal of essence blood.
The Dragonblood warriors were like death gods. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they started a slaughter. They cut through their enemies like cabbages. Flesh and blood flew.
“I’ve long since heard the rumors that the Dragonblood Legion is the number one legion of the continent. But this power is even greater than the rumors.” Even the people of the neutral camp were stunned, their voices shuddering.
The most chilling thing was that the Dragonblood warriors were eerily calm as they slaughtered their enemies. They didn’t wear any expressions. That was even more frightening than having sinister expressions.
The Dragonblood warriors essentially cut people down with one move each. They rarely needed a second move. Anyone who met their calm gazes would immediately tremble.
If it was just one or two, or even just a few hundred such experts, that would be acceptable. However, there were over ten thousand of them. Each of them was a top expert, a slaughter machine.
The scales of the battlefield instantly shifted. The army that had been lying in wait and had surrounded the Martial Heaven Alliance’s army from the outside were thrown into chaos.
The Dragonblood warriors’ killing efficiency made their enemies feel despair. They were finally afraid. In just the first clash, tens of thousands of their people were slain. The rest retreated in terror.
The entire battlefield tilted in favor of the Martial Heaven Alliance. However, Long Chen’s side was still a cause for concern. He was surrounded by Huo Lieyun, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Xie Luo. He was relying entirely on his Celestial Lightning Body Blink to keep up with them.
He was at a complete disadvantage, but the three of them didn’t seem to be in a hurry. With the three of them working together, there was little chance of a reversal.
“Why do I feel like Huo Lieyun, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Xie Luo aren’t going all-out? Am I misjudging things?” asked someone from the neutral camp.
“It does seem like they haven’t gone all-out. Their only goal is Long Chen. They don’t seem to care about the others’ lives. The three of them seem to plan on wearing away Long Chen’s energy. Once he’s out of energy, they’ll go all-out to kill him,” guessed someone.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the world shook. Yin and Yang energy gathered within the Yin Yang Valley, creating a giant tide of energy. Life and death energy formed an illusory space.
“The golden tide has arrived!”
Startled cries rang out. For some reason, the golden tide was coming a few hours earlier than expected.
“Snatch away the golden tide! Don't let these idiots get it!” shouted Guo Ran.
The Dragonblood Legion immediately slaughtered their way into the golden tide region. At the same time, the people in the neutral camp also flew over.
