Chapter 437: Chapter 352: War, Slaughter, Invincible
Xu Qing had spent nearly ten thousand years in the Beastman Mini World, an immense amount of time that allowed him to advance his Chaos Sword Dao by two Levels.
Of course.
Naturally, the Chaos Sword Dao couldn’t be leveled up within the Beastman Mini World. So, when it was time for the advancement, Xu Qing had already returned to the Mystic Yellow Secret Realm.
He let out a long breath.
Xu Qing opened his eyes. He had slowly adapted to his enhanced Realm and strength. With a mere thought, he departed the Mystic Yellow Secret Realm.
SWISH!
A brilliant light flashed.
Xu Qing returned to the Hall of Military Merit.
’What is this...?’
The moment Xu Qing returned to the Ninth Outpost, he sensed that the atmosphere was completely different. A grim, murderous aura permeated the entire outpost.
Moreover.
He saw that everyone was in a frantic hurry. They would rush into the Hall of Military Merit, redeem the items they needed, and then depart immediately. It was clear that something major had occurred.
’This...’
Xu Qing’s brow furrowed in thought.
SWISH!
Without hesitation, Xu Qing took a single step out of the Hall of Military Merit. He looked up and was shocked to find the Ninth Outpost under siege by the Divine Race’s Angel Legion.
’The Divine Race! Angels!’
Xu Qing recognized them at a glance.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
First.
The first thing Xu Qing noticed was the grand Array protecting the Ninth Outpost. It was fully active and unimaginably vast, its screen of light expanding to envelop every city within the station.
SWISH! SWISH!!
Figure after figure shot into the air, their killing intent piercing the heavens. They charged past the Array’s light barrier and into the battlefield, where a terrifying clash was underway.
’What in the world happened?’
Xu Qing looked on, astonished.
Because.
Although Xu Qing had been in the Beastman Mini World for nearly ten thousand years, only a single month had passed here in the Profound Yellow Realm, also known as the Three Realms Battlefield.
Just one month.
For something this major to have occurred.
Xu Qing took a deep breath.
His gaze swept across the scene. All the forces of the Ninth Outpost had already charged into battle, locked in a desperate struggle against the Divine Race’s Angel Legion.
’Hm?’
Just then.
SWISH!
A figure shot through the air toward him. It was a young man with long, silver hair, drenched in blood from head to toe. His face was pale, his left arm had been severed at the shoulder, and he was gravely wounded.
"Which battalion are you from?"
The aura of this silver-haired young man surpassed the Sixth Realm, having reached the Seventh Realm. Despite his grave injuries, he emanated an immense pressure that bore down on Xu Qing. "Why are you still lingering here? Get to the battlefield and join the fight immediately."
"I..."
Xu Qing was taken aback for a moment before he recovered. "I am Xu Qing, a member of the 820th Battalion. And you are, Senior?"
"The 820th Battalion."
The silver-haired man paused. He seemed to register the name, and his eyes widened slightly. "So it’s you! The Direct Disciple of the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain!"
"I am Ziwei Star Monarch of the Celestial Court Sacred Land."
The silver-haired young man spoke quickly. "Furthermore, I am the captain of the 820th Battalion. I had heard long ago that the Direct Disciple of the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain had arrived, but all this time has passed, and I have not seen you once."
"Xu Qing pays his respects, Ziwei Star Monarch."
Xu Qing clasped his hands in a salute and asked, "What in the world has happened?"
Ziwei Star Monarch took a deep breath.
His voice was grave as he said, "I have no idea why the Divine Race suddenly went insane, mobilizing their Angel Legion to besiege our Ninth Outpost."
"However..."
Ziwei Star Monarch mused, "After giving it some thought, I have a theory. The Divine Race serves the Dark Forbidden Land, and the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain once went there and killed many of its servants."
"Furthermore."
"You are his Direct Disciple, and you’re here at the Ninth Outpost. It’s highly probable that news of your presence was leaked to the Divine Race. They may be attacking us to get revenge on the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain."
"And their target is most likely you."
’This...’
After hearing Ziwei Star Monarch’s explanation, Xu Qing had to admit it was a possibility.
"No matter."
Ziwei Star Monarch said, "Regardless, you are the Direct Disciple of the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain. Until the situation is clear, you should remain hidden."
"Ziwei Star Monarch."
Xu Qing considered this for a moment. "With the full strength of our Ninth Outpost, can we break the Angel Legion’s encirclement?"
"As it stands now..."
Ziwei Star Monarch pondered, then shook his head. "The Divine Race has mobilized the Angel Legions of the Nine Great Divine Races for this assault. They’ve even deployed nine beings at the Main God Level."
"The fact that the Ninth Outpost has held on this long is already our limit. To be blunt, if reinforcements don’t arrive, we can only last another three days at most."
’If that’s the case, then there’s no need to stay hidden.’
Xu Qing mused, ’When the nest is overturned, can any eggs remain unbroken? If the Ninth Outpost is completely overrun, what use is there in me hiding here?’
’This will be the first war I’ve experienced since entering the Three Realms Battlefield. And if the Divine Race really is targeting me, then I have even less reason to shrink back.’
’Then I will fight!’
BOOM!
The moment that thought solidified, Xu Qing took a step forward. His body transformed into an impossibly sharp streak of Sword Light, blazing like a rainbow as it shot toward the heavens.
