Chapter 1250: Chapter 1248 The Edge of Madness
Above the boundless ocean, the waves thundered violently and lightning slashed the heavens, not a product of nature, but a creation of man.
Around this drifting island, the top masters of the current East Victory world had converged, their powerful auras interwoven, causing the very heavens to change.
The Nine Heavenly Aliens, no longer possessed the courage of their bygone days, and faced with the relentless pursuit of East Victory’s finest warriors, their fate was all too predictable.
After a series of bloody battles, they used the Ancestral Altar to flee hither and thither, only to be cornered by the masters of East Victory. In the end, all Nine Heavenly Aliens were driven to Affectionate Island, and found themselves surrounded by enemies on all sides.
A brutal fight was on the verge of erupting.
"Outer Heaven Demons, give up your futile resistance! We do not desire to completely annihilate you, how about this. All of you swear with your martial hearts never to betray the East Victory world, to hold East Victory as your leader, and then today’s battle may be avoided,"
Great Battles Emperor said coldly.
He, along with the Chi Evil Great Witch from Miaojiang, stood at the forefront, implicitly the leaders of this operation.
"Hahaha..."
A disdainful, angry burst of laughter erupted from the island.
"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! The greatest mistake our ancestors made was their kindness, saving you pack of ungrateful wretches with the hearts of wolves and lungs of dogs!"
"Your forefathers were shameless, and so are you, a bunch of thick-faced, black-hearted, ungrateful wretches. You even have the audacity to expect us to become your slaves, to die in your stead, dream on!"
This was an elderly man with a beard, the hot-tempered old clan head of Yang Town’s Yang Family Old Clan.
"You scoundrels, how dare you desecrate the ancestors of East Victory!"
Xuanyuan Lang shouted furiously, "Fellow warriors, enough talk! Those who aren’t our kin will surely be of a different heart! These people pose a potential threat to East Victory and must be eradicated without delay!"
"Kill!"
Many shouted, and a surging murderous intent swept through all directions, the dark clouds gathering thickly above the ocean, oppressing the chests of the Nine Heavenly Aliens.
Among them were youths, adults, elders, and children, each face marked with anger, despair, and tragic determination, but fear was nowhere to be seen.
A blood feud of 160,000 years, passed down through generations, had long been etched into their very bones. They were born for revenge, what joy does life hold for them, what fear does death bring?
The sole meaning of their existence was to wash away the humiliations their ancestors had suffered, to restore honor to their race!
Alas, fortune did not favor them—they had ultimately fallen into a trap woven by both East Victory and the Outer Heaven, and today’s battle was fated to result in rivers of blood.
But even in death, they were determined to shed their last drop of blood, making the despicable East Victory pay a steep price!
"One last time, are you truly not willing to surrender?"
Chi Evil Great Witch asked coldly, gripping his longbow.
"Who do you think you are! Your ancestors were the ones who begged us to help, it was our intervention that brought about peace... hahaha, I’ve always believed in the cycle of karma, you’ll pay the price for everything you’ve done!"
The clan head of Liu Family from Affectionate Island laughed bitterly, he and all members of the Liu Family were prepared for a desperate fight.
"If that is so..."
Just as Chi Evil Great Witch was about to speak, a figure suddenly appeared, standing opposite the East Victory warriors.
This man was mountainously tall and steadied, a well-defined face outlining an extraordinary masculine charm. Alone against the raging crowd, he remained undaunted and unafraid.
"Che Renzhong, what do you mean by this?"
The Scorpion Lady from Miaojiang barked coldly.
"This is a conspiracy of the Outer Heaven, we must not fall for it."
Che Renzhong said.
"What does it matter? Even without this matter, we still have to eliminate all the Outer Heaven people, this is part of the plan,"
This time, it was the Black Abyss Elder who spoke, squinting his eyes and saying coldly, "The question is, Che Renzhong, when we were attacking the Outer Heaven people before, why did you openly intervene and help them escape?"
Whoosh!
With these words, the crowd erupted into turmoil.
Many thought they had misheard. Since the operation was conducted in separate groups, aside from those who were with Che Renzhong, the rest were unaware of the situation.
Even those who were present during the intense battle barely noticed what had happened.
"Is this true?"
Chi Evil Great Witch’s expression darkened.
"Absolutely true."
Black Abyss Elder said.
"All of you, come out. I believe there are more than just Che Renzhong,"
Great Battles Emperor said nonchalantly, anticipating this situation and even witnessing it himself. He had held back earlier precisely to gather everyone and settle things all at once.
Swish, swish, swish.
Several figures stepped forward and stood beside Che Renzhong. There were masters from East Victory, from the South Sea, and from Miaojiang. Seeing these individuals, some people’s expressions changed again and again.
Some clenched their teeth and stepped out as well, while others hid within the crowd, continuing to watch how the situation would unfold.
Xuanyuan Lang pointed at Xuanyuan Di, shaking with rage, and laughed in anger, "What are you doing, are you prepared to become a traitor to the East Victory world, to bring shame upon the entire Xuanyuan Clan? Get back here now!"
Xuanyuan Di said, "I only do what I believe I should."
Some people act solely considering the impact on their interests, while others only care about their conscience.
Right is right, and wrong is wrong. That’s the most distinctive trait of Xuanyuan Di—he’s so pure that he can’t tolerate a speck of dust and would confront the whole world for it.
Xuanyuan Lang’s face turned iron blue.
Qi Muchu also had a complex expression, but in the end, he didn’t step forward, for behind him stood Hundred Battles Tower.
"Stop being naive. We are doomed to be at odds with these people until death. Ask them if they can forget the blood feud from years ago. This is like raising a tiger and inviting trouble!"
Someone shouted.
"So for a past mistake, we should commit an even greater one?"
Zhang Xiangfeng stood beside Che Renzhong, mocking.
Black White Master shook his head. "Foolish! Do you know that in recent years, across three territories, three top forces, eighteen beyond-first-rate forces, and twenty-six first-rate forces have been annihilated, leaving no survivors, all at the hands of these Outer Heaven Demons. They have already begun their retaliation."
Laughter full of delight came from Wangyou Island.
Shi Fu shouted, "Those people deserve to die! The so-called sins of the fathers are paid for by the sons. Their ancestors were the ones who thrust the knives; it was they who inflicted the cruelest, bloodiest wounds on our clans. Should we not seek vengeance?"
"Moreover, to this day, when those people speak of the events of the past, they show no remorse; instead, they praise their ancestors’ ’wise’ actions. Such people, shouldn’t they be killed?"
Shi Fu did not lie.
They remembered the blood feud, and those ungrateful East Victory masters from years past, had passed down commands from generation to generation to exhaust all means to find the remnants from outer space and exterminate them, to ensure their family’s peace.
Perhaps some descendants disapproved of this, but such people were invariably marginalized, so these families remained the biggest hawks to this day.
Repent? Out of the question.
Xuanyuan Lang’s eyes flickered with anger. "Killing and finding justifications for it, you’re ruthless. Today, you will not defend yourselves. Gentlemen, this is an excellent opportunity to eradicate some of the remnants from Outer Heaven, not to be missed. Attack with me!"
An overwhelming and astonishing momentum surged out. Xuanyuan Lang hesitated no more and slashed forward. Before the blade’s light even arrived, a massive straight line split a vast expanse of the sea into two.
"As if I’d be afraid of you!"
Among the Nine Heavenly Aliens, there was also a Fake Sky Origin Realm master. He was a burly middle-aged man who wielded a large halberd. With his swings, he split the blade light in two.
"Kill!"
Many East Victory masters dashed forward, and several figures from Wangyou Island also soared into a counterattack.
Boom, boom, boom...
In an instant, dazzling rainbow lights illuminated a million-mile radius. Numerous beams of light shot up, breaking through the atmosphere and pulverizing the tiny meteors in the cosmic starry sky.
"Why must this be?"
This was a bald elder from Peach Blossom Village, with a solitary gaze and a lonely figure, yet his strength stunned everyone. Holding a long saber, he alone blocked the attacks of three Fake Sky Origin Realm masters.
One should know that this was not mere defense, but a combination of offense and defense. The strength he displayed was even above that of the Great Battles Emperor.
Besides the middle-aged man and the bald elder, there were two other Fake Sky Origin Realm masters, each with formidable strength, entangling their respective opponents.
But on the East Victory side, there were as many as eleven Fake Sky Origin Realm masters. With six of them held back, the remaining five shook the Array System of Wangyou Island to the verge of breaking every time they launched an attack.
The Outer Heaven Demons had their own Array System Grandmasters, who, after studying ancient texts and creating numerous Sky Origin Array Systems, could have prevented the dire situation, otherwise many would already have fallen and bled to death.
"It won’t work, we can’t hold out much longer like this."
The man in blue looked worried.
He was the Array System Grandmaster. If it were a pinnacle Sky Origin Realm array, he could withstand any enemy without a means to break it. Unfortunately, his skills hadn’t reached that level.
Fake Sky Origin Realm masters, their mental power essentially on the level of the Sky Origin Realm, would sooner or later find the flaw.
"The Ancestral Altar is destroyed, and we have nowhere to escape. It’s better to fight them!"
Many people shouted.
Shi Xiaoba’s fighting spirit soared. He only hated his lack of strength, otherwise he wouldn’t allow these East Victory people to be so fierce.
"Wait a bit longer. If the heavens truly want our destruction, then I won’t let them have it their way either."
The man in blue clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his flesh.
Three days passed.
The battle became more intense.
With his terrifying strength, the bald elder suppressed three opponents, but this provoked the killing intent of the Great Battles Emperor, who didn’t hesitate to use the Shark Tooth Whip to attack.
The bald elder’s saber was shattered, half his body mutilated, yet he remained as fierce as ever, standing like a human mountain in the forefront. In the red glow of the setting sun, he shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
"Grandpa Baldy!"
The people of the Meng and Shi clans shouted, full of sorrow and anger. The masters from the other clans also clenched their teeth so hard they bled, and they would have already charged forward if not for the blue-garbed man’s restraint.
Che Renzhong, Zhang Xiangfeng, and others were also in dire straits, trapped as traitors and under siege, many bearing grievous wounds.
"Hurry, in three more days at most, we’ll shatter this turtle shell, and you remnants are as good as dead!"
The five Fake Sky Origin Realm masters attacking the Array System laughed wildly, sounding like the overture to the apocalypse, reverberating in the hearts of the Outer Heaven people.
"All of you, prepare. Converge your lifeblood. When the time comes, I will self-destruct the Array System, using everyone’s vital energy to elevate the destructive power of this array to the extreme. Let these East Victory folks join us in our funeral."
The blue-garbed man reached the brink of madness.
And at that moment!
A streak of sword light flashed rapidly in the distance, and a young man in green clothes arrived swiftly, shouting, "Stop, all of you!"
