“Don’t worry. Young Master Su’s strength and reserves are even more formidable than we imagined. He’ll be fine.”
The Demon Race Patriarch laughed.
Though he couldn’t see through Ye Yunfei’s true origins, he knew Su Fei was no ordinary youth from the Hongmeng Continent. The myriad of extraordinary methods Ye Yunfei had displayed even left him feeling inferior!
“Report! A contingent of the Central Continent Army is charging toward us!”
At that moment, another scout rushed into the command tent and shouted a report.
“Good. Let’s go out and see.”
The Demon Race Patriarch rose to his feet and led the way out of the tent.
In the distance, a column of troops was indeed surging toward them. In the blink of an eye, they were before the Eastern Wasteland Army’s camp, emanating a fierce, aggressive aura.
A large banner fluttered in the wind, inscribed with the four characters for ‘Central Continent Army,’ radiating a palpable, murderous intent.
At the forefront were seven old men, all of them mid-stage Star Shattering Realm experts. Each exuded a mighty presence, their gazes sharp and intimidating.
“Su Fei, come out and accept your death! Furthermore, everyone in the Eastern Wasteland Army, listen up! All of you, kneel immediately. Do not offer any resistance.”
One of the elders spoke coldly.
For these masters of the Central Divine Land, the so-called Eastern Wasteland Army was not worth a second thought. Their true wariness was reserved for Su Fei.
After all, during that great battle on the Chaotic Highlands, Ye Yunfei had personally slain twenty Mind Star Realm experts and frightened off five Star Shattering Realm masters, shaking the entire Central Divine Land with his fame.
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
The seven elders simultaneously unleashed their imposing auras. A vast, overwhelming pressure rolled out and crashed toward the Eastern Wasteland Army like a tidal wave.
Following this, dozens of Mind Star Realm experts stepped forward from behind the seven elders, adding their own energy pressure to the mix.
For a moment, the very heavens and earth seemed to roil and quake, as if a mountain torrent had burst its banks, sweeping away rocks and stones, or a furious sea was surging forth.
Without uttering a single word, the five Primordial Heterogeneous Race Patriarchs took a step forward in unison.
RUMBLE…
Five torrents of energy—seemingly emerging from the primeval wilderness of antiquity—screamed forward. Instantly, they intercepted and blocked the pressure waves released by the Central Continent Army’s experts. The auras of both sides clashed head-on, locked in a stalemate.
“Five Star Shattering Realm experts! Impossible! How could the Eastern Barrens have Star Shattering Realm experts?!”
“They look like… the legendary Primordial Heterogeneous Race!”
…
Feeling the fearsome aura emanating from the five Patriarchs, the faces of the Central Continent Army experts paled one after another.
“It seems we have underestimated them!”
The leading seven elders all wore grave expressions. The five Primordial Heterogeneous Race Patriarchs gave them an immense sense of oppression!
“If you want to fight, let’s fight. Don’t waste time.”
One of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race Patriarchs strode forward, simple and direct. He launched his attack straight away.
This Patriarch had a human body and a tiger’s head. His physique was thick and powerful, every movement exuding an oppressive sense of immense strength. A single punch sent vast, formidable fist-force filling the world, directly forcing back one Star Shattering Realm expert.
The other four Primordial Heterogeneous Race Patriarchs also took action. Each was exceptionally fierce and fierce. Their very attacks seemed to make the heavens quake and the earth shatter, as if intent on destroying this piece of the world.
The seven elders of the Central Continent Army launched their own attacks, engaging the five Primordial Heterogeneous Race Patriarchs.
Though they outnumbered their foes seven to five, they failed to gain the slightest advantage.
All five Primordial Heterogeneous Race Patriarchs were ancient powerhouses who had slept for an immense period deep beneath the land of the North Cold Ancient Mining Region in the Eastern Barrens. Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had helped them fully recover their vitality.
Currently, three of the Patriarchs possessed late-stage Star Shattering Realm strength. The other two were at the mid-stage Star Shattering Realm!
Against the seven elders, this level of power was more than sufficient!
In just a few moves, the seven Central Continent Army elders were forced into constant retreat.
Suddenly, one elder, who wielded a sword, vanished without a trace.
“Members of the Celestial Nether Tomb!”
Elder Zhu’s face darkened, and his figure likewise vanished instantly.
The next moment…
CLANG! CLANG!
Crisp metallic clashing sounds emerged from somewhere in space.
“You practice the heritage of Earth Kill!”
The surprised and angry voice of the sword-wielding elder rang out.
Then Elder Zhu and the sword-wielding elder reappeared in everyone’s sight, whereupon they plunged into fierce combat.
Both Earth Kill and the Celestial Nether Tomb were assassin organizations. Practitioners from both groups cultivated the Hongmeng Continent’s supreme assassination arts, making their fight exceedingly perilous.
“Let’s make our move.”
Over a dozen Mind Star Realm experts from Earth Kill exchanged glances and then vanished simultaneously.
In the next instant…
AHH! AHH!
Several Mind Star Realm experts from the Central Continent Army cried out in agony. They died instantly, their skulls or hearts pierced.
“Kill!”
The Primordial Heterogeneous Race’s Mind Star Realm experts surged forward together, charging and killing like a tide.
The Primordial Heterogeneous Race possessed a total of over sixty Mind Star Realm experts. For so many Mind Star Realm masters to charge forward at once created a fearsome display of power.
Next, over a dozen Mind Star Realm experts emerged from the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race and charged forward to join the attack.
These Mind Star Realm experts from the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race were all ancient antiques who had slumbered deep beneath the earth for an immensely long time. They had recently emerged from seclusion along with the main body of their Patriarch.
“Let’s do it! Slaughter all these wretches from the Central Continent!”
The Demon Race Patriarch swung his arm down, his voice like rumbling thunder and crackling lightning.
“KILL!”
The members of the Eastern Wasteland Army gave a great shout and rushed forward to attack.
This Eastern Wasteland Army was primarily composed of forces from four major factions: the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race, Earth Kill, the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Temple, and the Primordial Heterogeneous Race. Their combat power was utterly terrifying.
The moment the battle began, the Central Continent Army forces were forced into steady retreat.
“Amituofo!”
Superior Master Limo chanted a Buddhist prayer, then stretched out a hand. The hand expanded instantly, pressing forward like a huge cloud.
RUMBLE…
Buddhist power of terrifying extremity erupted from his palm.
BOOM!
One of the elders locked in battle with the five Primordial Heterogeneous Race Patriarchs failed to dodge in time. Half of his body was pulverized by the palm strike.
“Careful! This is the Buddhist mighty Diamond Palm!”
Another elder cried out in alarm, shouting a warning.
With Superior Master Limo’s entry, within less than two moves, the seven Star Shattering Realm experts of the Central Continent Army suffered a crushing defeat and could no longer hold on.
Four Star Shattering Realm experts were killed on the spot.
The remaining three Star Shattering Realm experts fled, escaping with great difficulty after exerting their utmost effort.
The rest of the Central Continent Army troops also suffered a devastating defeat and fled.
Roughly half of their Star Shattering Realm-strength experts had been killed.
Soon after, the once-ferociously approaching Central Continent Army forces were either dead or fleeing. Their losses were staggeringly severe.
“How is this possible? The Central Continent Army was defeated!”
“This Eastern Wasteland Army is too terrifying! Not only do they have Mind Star Realm experts, but also Star Shattering Realm experts!”
“Wasn’t it said that the Eastern Barrens was just a remote, backward land? That seems clearly not to be the case! All this time, we have been deceived!”
The onlookers watching from a distance were each and every one dumbstruck, utterly unable to believe the outcome before their eyes.
This battle had been incredibly brief. From its beginning to its end was merely a short span of time, yet the Central Continent Army had been butchered like pigs, suffering a crushing defeat!
