Chapter 1260: Chapter 1258: Prelude to the Great Decisive Battle, Fierce Battlefield (Part 3)
"Great Battles Emperor!"
Shi Xiaole secretly transmitted a message.
The latter, enduring the pain of having his arm broken, clenched the Great Battles Whip with his teeth, and quickly took out the Shark Tooth Whip from his bosom with his left hand, lashing it out towards the person in yellow clothes at the side.
His power could only unleash the divine whip eight times at most, and these newly joined five Outer Heaven Giants each had two Revival Pills.
Previously, the Great Battles Emperor had already used the whip six times. Had he not done so, he would have died under the siege of three people long ago.
The shadow of the whip burst forth with unparalleled power, lighting up the giant pit.
All the Outer Heaven Giants retreated simultaneously. They had learned their lesson from last time; the moment they saw the Great Battles Emperor take out the Shark Tooth Whip, they immediately chose to dodge, minimizing the damage as much as possible.
But Sky Origin Power, how could you dodge it just by wanting to?
The person in yellow had half his body shattered by the whip, flying out like a torn sack. Without a second thought, he immediately bit into the Revival Pill that was between his teeth.
"Get lost, kid!"
An angry roar sounded from behind; it was the Blood Sea Blade Emperor who had made a deadly strike with his blade.
Even while dodging, the three surrounding Shi Xiaole did not lose formation, so as soon as they saw Shi Xiaole move, the strongest among them, the Blood Sea Blade Emperor, immediately reacted.
With a pu sound!
Shi Xiaole’s body was cleaved into two, causing the faces of the crowd above to change drastically in shock. But, relying on the Life and Death Martial Path, he managed to repair his body and, using the power of the blade’s energy, rushed forward fiercely.
Right when the person in yellow had just recovered, he executed two strikes of Extreme Divine Tribulation, followed by an "Emotional Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three," successfully slaying his opponent.
Shi Xiaole was gasping for breath.
Under the Outer Heaven Giants’ planned and prepared strategy, the weakness in their side’s strength was exposed without a doubt. They had struggled until now, only to kill one person with difficulty.
Seeing the situation, to kill a second person, someone on their side was certain to die as well.
For instance, the Flying Horse Emperor and the Demon Blade Master, whose bodies were nearly shattered, had long since left the pit and were now healing frantically outside.
Among those remaining, the Sect Leader of the Demon Exorcism Sect was without a doubt doomed to die.
Shi Xiaole would always remember how the other nearly killed him, but in such a situation, taking revenge would plunge himself into trouble, which was not the act of a wise person.
"Carry on, kill them, and East Victory will be without a leader!"
The Blood Sea Blade Emperor’s face was ferocious, and he laughed maniacally. At this point, he was completely confident in killing the four people present, with the sole uncertainty being Shi Xiaole.
But after this battle, relying on just him alone, a single force would be insufficient, and it was certain that the Sky Origin Realm Supreme Lord of East Victory would be forced out. All they needed was for those people’s spiritual energy to be consumed, and the holy war would certainly be won!
And they themselves would set a glorious achievement, to be forever recorded in the annals of history!
Facing the frenzied assault of ten people, Shi Xiaole and his four companions could only meet the challenge; otherwise, the entrance would fall back into the hands of the Outer Heaven people, rendering all previous efforts futile.
The situation had reached the most dangerous juncture.
"Emperor’s Eight Mysterious Yellow Palm!"
Just at that moment, a fist appeared above the pit in the sky, a domineering and unmatched fist. As it fell, vast swaths of the void were turned into a vacuum, making the momentum of the fist even more powerful.
With a boom.
Three Outer Heaven Giants were blocked, their faces filled with shock. The power of this punch was no less than that of the Sect Leader of the Demon Exorcism Sect. Crucially, everyone present had greatly expended their power, but the owner of the fist was in peak condition.
"Che Renzhong!"
The Sect Leader of the Demon Exorcism Sect’s eyes widened as he saw the tall man appearing in the pit. His face was like mountains and rivers, his aura like a long river, as if he had the world beneath his feet, and everything seemed to bow before his majestic and kingly presence.
"Senior Brother."
Since the great battle among the three parties, there had been no news of Che Renzhong for a long time. Even Shi Xiaole could not have imagined that when Che Renzhong reappeared, he would be a genuine Fake Sky Origin Realm Giant.
This talent and grace could be described as rare throughout the ages.
"Little Junior Brother, I am here to lend you a helping hand, kill!"
Che Renzhong stepped forward, directly confronting the Blood Sea Blade Emperor, turning his hand into a blade and sending sheer golden blade lights cutting towards the latter.
"Seeking death!"
Amid the angry roar of the Blood Sea Blade Emperor, a crimson blade light fell from the sky.
Clang...
Both were sent flying backward at the same time, neither gaining the upper hand.
But Che Renzhong was in good form, his power and mental strength both at the peak of his life. Without hesitation, he continued to fight with his rolling fist energy, shaking all directions.
Everyone knew that Shi Xiaole was unparalleled in combat techniques, but at this moment, they realized that the Martial Emperor’s combat skills were also at their peak. Even though not as adept as Shi Xiaole, he managed to hold off two Outer Heaven Giants.
"Hahaha, kill!"
The Sect Leader of the Demon Exorcism Sect struck out with both palms, inspired by this past adversary.
Shi Xiaole was left with only one opponent, which greatly relieved his pressure. He used all his abilities, driving the Life and Death Martial Path to its limit, and after tens of thousands of moves, he struck down another!
"This great battle is just beginning. You all will die, definitely die, retreat."
The Blood Sea Blade Emperor and the nine others fell back, returning to the Overlapping Land.
No one felt rejoiced; as the others said, everything was just beginning.
This time, Che Renzhong caught them completely off guard, but next time, the outcome remains unknown. Who knows if the Outer Heaven people have any cards left to play.
The sinkhole became the stronghold of East Victory warriors.
After consultations among the six giants, they eventually divided the sinkhole into six areas, with each person responsible for one area, defending and commanding attacks at the same time.
It must be understood that the sinkhole was very irregular, and with a diameter reaching millions of meters, what concept is that? It’s like the distance between the north and south of Shi Xiaole’s country in his previous life.
A common warrior, even a Martial Emperor of the Void Origin Realm, would take a long time to traverse it. Not to mention, there are still hallucinogenic gases left in the sinkhole, and those with insufficient cultivation would easily get lost in it.
As for the Flying Horse Emperor and the master of the Demon Blade, the two of them were, after all, too weak and temporarily placed under Shi Xiaole’s and Che Renzhong’s charge.
As time went on, more and more warriors arrived at the sinkhole, mainly from the South Sea area. After all, this was the South Sea, and it would take some time for the main forces of East Victory continent and Miaojiang to arrive.
People chose their respective areas based on where they landed.
Not long after, the six giants personally led the elites and entered the Overlapping Land for the first time.
"Kill!"
The killing cries resounded through the sky.
In the desert, the Outer Heaven warriors had long been ready to strike, and poured forth from all directions like a torrential flood, even covering the golden hues of the sand. Various colors of Vigorous Air mingled in the sky, dyeing the heavens and earth with myriad colors.
"Split up!"
The Great Battles Emperor commanded gravely.
No matter how strong he was, facing the attack of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, would leave him only one path—death. Not just him, even the Supreme Lord of the Sky Origin Realm wouldn’t dare to do this.
It’s like a silver needle against sawdust; while certainly at a higher level, it still cannot withstand the wood made up of sawdust. Of course, the wood is always just wood, its strength may be great, but it can never shatter the void.
This is the limitation of the laws of nature.
The East Victory warriors quickly split up. They didn’t have enough fighters, so this time the main goal was reconnaissance, and at least all who came were Earth Immortals of the Divine Barrier Realm.
Thump...
Someone failed to dodge, and without even a scream, turned directly into ash.
The sky-darkening sand splashed out, and another large pit appeared on the ground.
Countless sand frantically tilted inward. With such excessive force, many Outer Heaven fighters were immediately submerged. Some attacked the sea of sand desperately, some leapt out, resulting in many dying at the hands of their companions, blood splattering, and the scene was chaos in an instant.
At this moment, East Victory warriors also charged into the chaotic crowd, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and started a ruthless massacre.
"Don’t mind them, attack!"
Seeing this, a large group of Outer Heaven people with cruel faces, regardless of their engagement with East Victory warriors, launched attacks from all around.
The sacrificed Outer Heaven warriors, only a few of them showing indignation, the majority of them looked up to the sky and cried out: "To dedicate our lives to the Celestial Master, to die for the holy war, it’s worth it!"
Bang, bang, bang...
Some more East Victory elites met their untimely end.
Each one of them, whether they were masters and Elders of big sects or well-known powerhouses of certain regions, had undergone arduous cultivation for hundreds of years, earning fame and fortune.
But for the victory of the second great war between heaven and earth, in order to wear down the strength of the Outer Heaven people as much as possible, they resolutely hurried to the battlefield, dying without a sound.
However, Outer Heaven people died even faster.
Because there were too many of them, and most were not at the Dragon Gate Realm level of cultivation, they were harvested by the East Victory elites, swath after swath.
Latter on, the East Victory elites gained experience, lightly touching an enemy before quickly moving on, never staying in one spot for more than three breaths, making it difficult for the rear Outer Heaven fighters to lock on targets, driving them mad with frustration.
There were also Divine Barrier Realm and even Void Origin Realm masters among the Outer Heaven people, but their companions blocked their way, preventing them from making full use of their potential.
Even if someone managed to stop an East Victory elite, the aftermath of their fighting would kill swathes of Outer Heaven people, more cruel than a meat grinder.
In the sky, fifteen giants entered the atmosphere, starting their third clash.
Initially, without the Revival Pill, East Victory had an absolute advantage over the Outer Heaven Giant. To everyone’s surprise, the Blood Sea Blade Emperor actually mastered a Divine Blade; with the blade in hand, he immediately engaged the Great Battles Emperor.
"Haha, this is the reward from the Celestial Master; today, I will surely cut you down!"
The Blood Sea Blade Emperor laughed hideously with satisfaction.
If possible, he wished that the four Sky Origin Realm Supreme Lords from the other realms would personally wield the Divine Blade, but they couldn’t. Because for the Supreme Lords of the Sky Origin Realm, divine weapons are at most like top-grade Spiritual Weapons to a Martial Emperor of the Void Origin Realm, not that much of a power boost.
If the four acted, they would disrupt their recovery process, and soon when they encounter the Sky Origin Realm Supreme Lords of East Victory, it would only lead to a loss bigger than the gain, foolishly weakening the top fighting force of Outer Heaven and affecting the overall situation.
The sounds of fighting, clashing, explosions, and screams formed a tragic and solemn war song on this battlefield, echoing in all directions.
This battle continued for a very long time.
After the battle, vast stretches of the desert collapsed, hiding countless bones beneath.
"Let’s break through!"
The Outer Heaven people, red with bloodlust, after the retreat of the East Victory elites, actually followed suit and entered the massive sinkhole.
"Outer Heaven demons, dare you come!"
"Hahaha, just arrived and there are demons to slay, delightful, truly delightful!"
"You shall not insult the sacred land of East Victory!"
Around the sinkhole that spanned millions of square kilometers, figures fell like dumplings, all East Victory warriors. Even mid-air, they launched the strongest strikes of their lives.
