Chapter 303: Chapter 289: Step-by-Step Advance

The battlefront continues to advance.

The second-grade cultivators of the Human Race couldn’t gain any advantage and certainly couldn’t stop Wang Wu and the other vanguard generals from advancing.

The underground battlefield, however, was a bit more brutal. One had already perished, two were seriously injured, and the last one jumped out moments later. But the underground battlefield could not be abandoned. The old turtle was directing and organizing from behind and immediately joined five vanguard generals with earth escape techniques to the fray.

It seemed the Human Race also had cultivators specializing in earth escape techniques who were constantly laying down mines, setting up escape-preventing talisman restrictions. This wouldn’t do. The minefield on the ground had just been cleared, and if it’s replenished, that would be a waste of effort.

At critical moments, when the central army general at the rear moves to support, even if interrupted once by the escape-preventing talisman restrictions, it could cause severe consequences.

Thus, the importance of the underground battlefield is indisputable.

Then, there were the vanguard generals in the sky, advancing even more slowly, but fortunately, so far, there have been no injured or deceased units.

However, when Wang Wu and the vanguard generals advanced to within three hundred miles of the opposing grand array, the real challenges and nightmares descended.

Because the quick reaction sword arrays of the celestial and ground arrays, as well as the magical artifact-level Spirit Light Crossbows, finally entered their optimal range.

Previously, only three fixed sword array sword qi struck every ten seconds. Now, it was suddenly rosettes of light, brilliant and dazzling.

On average, Wang Wu had to endure the bombardment of five quick reaction sword arrays and five magical artifact-level Spirit Light Crossbows every second!

The advantages of the Human Race were displayed to their fullest at this moment.

Using ordinary fifth or sixth-grade cultivators to control magical artifact-level crossbows—just ask yourself if that’s cost-effective.

Each quick reaction sword array can deal 25,000 points of damage per second, and each hit from a magical artifact-level Spirit Light Crossbow inflicts 15,000 points of damage.

Together, that’s equivalent to 200,000 damage points per second.

He couldn’t even bother checking on Brother Tongkuai and Brother Five Claws and the other vanguard generals. He had to desperately stack up Ice and Fire Shields because there’s no limit, and there couldn’t be.

Layer upon layer of Ice and Fire Shields smashed down, and he moved like a gigantic mobile iceberg, continuously shedding armor, getting destroyed, and regenerating under the sword and fire lights.

Unfortunately, he could only form 20 Ice and Fire Shields per second, capping the maximum exemption at 100,000 points per second. So even though he had pre-stacked about 60 Ice and Fire Shields, they didn’t last long enough, and the Ice and Fire Shields couldn’t keep up.

At this moment, Wang Wu decisively activated the Level 6 Unbreakable Golden Body, capable of withstanding a maximum of 360,000 points of damage.

Yet, even this Unbreakable Golden Body was quickly shattered, and what’s going on across from him, why did they suddenly focus their fire on him?

Damn, Wang Wu glanced left and right, “Darn, buddies, why have you all fallen behind?”

This isn’t proper!

“Brother Xiong Wu! The Mountain Patrol Seal Array, you aren’t really thinking of relying solely on yourself to withstand all the attacks, are you?”

Brother Tongkuai shouted from behind, already in a state of shock, because Wang Wu had surprisingly held on alone for ten seconds earlier. This little bear was insane!

What kind of Mountain Patrol Seal Array, damn!

Wang Wu quickly drove his qi and blood to infuse the Mountain Patrol Seal, and with a bang, the crimson vanguard flag above instantly surged up a thousand meters, merging with the other five vanguard generals’ vanguard battle banners to finally form a Blood Qi Battle Banner Array.

Now, Wang Wu felt relieved.

He only needed to maintain a qi blood output of 1,000 points per second to sustain this Battle Banner Array with the other five vanguard generals.

And this Battle Banner Array doesn’t simply withstand attacks but instead weakens them. The opposing sword qi, sword light, and Spirit Light Crossbows would still shoot over but would typically be weakened by a third.

This arrangement was quite good.

Wang Wu didn’t need to release the Level 6 Unbreakable Golden Body anymore, relying solely on the 20 Ice and Fire Shields per second along with the armor formed by the Mountain Patrol Seal, he could basically block all the damage.

This was crucial because his Level 6 Unbreakable Golden Body could actually only be activated 12 times, then he would need to replenish vitality qi blood.

He had already used it twice, which was very dangerous behavior.

He wasn’t sure if the old turtle behind had sent reinforcements. They couldn’t keep shouldering the toughest, most exhausting duties without offering any food, right?

However, just as Wang Wu was worrying, the old turtle at the rear was already waving command flags, ordering twelve third-grade great demons to rush over, each displaying a blood-colored vanguard flag on their Mountain Patrol Seals that were changed to vanguard.

“Rotate! Rotate!”

Brother Tongkuai shouted, and the six great vanguard demons immediately rotated down neatly.

After withdrawing the blood-colored battle banners, their flags had already changed to central army.

It wasn’t easy; the charge mission was finally completed.

Upon returning to the central army array, they were immediately approached by some demons carrying yellow flags with ’Rear Camp’ written on them who without a word, handed each of them five Blood Qi Secret Spirit Pearls for replenishment.

Well, it was free.

That old turtle is truly something else.

Wang Wu thought resentfully, eating the five Blood Qi Secret Spirit Pearls like beans. Besides replenishing qi blood, Spiritual Qi was needed for conversion.

At this time, all the previous wave of vanguard generals had already retreated. Each could enter the great city on the old turtle’s back to rest and meditate; at the moment, no one was in the mood to chat, all hurriedly replenishing.

This included those third-grade great demons who hadn’t entered the fray.

However, as they got closer to the Human Race’s grand array, their means of attack grew in number. Even with double the vanguard generals after a mere thirty-mile advance, they had to rotate again.

This time, the vanguard consists of twenty-four great ground demons, twenty-four sky demons, and twenty-four underground demons.

Directly 72 great demons.

Goodness, the battle was intense.

Wang Wu quickly converted Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi while still having the energy to observe the entire battlefield situation.

It’s unclear about the north, but our allies, the South Wilderness Demon Race responsible for attacking the western sea surface, seem to have suffered great losses, with the seawater within thousands of miles evaporated completely.

The reason is somewhat simple.

The battlefield here is wider.

Because to the east lies the Evil Wind Desert, even the most audacious Demon Emperors or First-Grade Cultivators are unwilling to fight above it; it’s a surefire way to make oneself uncomfortable. Under the Evil Wind Bone Plague, all beings are equal.

Therefore, while they fought at tens or even hundreds of thousands of meters high, the area affected most was always the South Sea Demon Race’s attack region.

Even the slightest aftermath feels as terrifying as a mountain.

In contrast, the land attack area by the South Wilderness Demon Race faced fewer aftershocks.

Of course, such a division of attack regions is undoubtedly related to the final division of the spoils.

“So, in attacking the Human Race’s Profound Iron Mine, the South Wilderness Demon Race isn’t the main force; rather, it’s facilitated by the South Sea Demon Race?”

Just as Wang Wu was pondering this, his heart suddenly moved, and he saw a purple cloud of fire rising in the north, and in an instant, tens of thousands of purple beams flew out, densely falling toward the northern allied forces’ attack area.

Even through thousands of miles, Wang Wu’s heart skipped; too tragic! The West Sea Demon Race’s corps is finished!

Grandpa Tree’s branches are probably all blown up.

Northern line failed!

Who could have thought there were actually three Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivators hiding in the Human Race’s Profound Iron Mine, so cunning!

If this wave had fallen directly on their southern battlefield, they would really be finished.

But perhaps the northern line pushed too aggressively…

After all, Grandpa Tree’s branch Ancient Tree form is best suited for sieges and breaking arrays.

For a moment, the situation reversed because a Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivator was stationed to guard the city; who could capture it now!

Wang Wu could see even Old Turtle was hesitant.

But at this moment, a terrifying aura spread directly from the west, as half the sky was rapidly dyed in blood, surrounding a Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivator, forming a three-on-one situation!

Indeed, the Demon Race also hid a First-Grade Demon Emperor!

You destroy my corps in the north, I extinguish a Celestial Realm First-Grade of yours!

“Damn beast, how dare you!”

Sure enough, amidst a thunderous roar, the Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivator stationed in the Profound Iron Mine couldn’t stand it and succumbed; losing one Celestial Realm First-Grade is far worse than losing a Profound Iron Mine!

In an instant, nobody knew what Divine Technique that guy used; the moment he shot into the sky, the entire world went white, then there was nothing to see or perceive.

Even Wang Wu could only vaguely sense that the Human Race Great Cultivator was not going to aid the three-on-one ally but instantly joined another Human Celestial Realm Great Cultivator to form a two-on-one situation against the fourth Demon Emperor.

The terrified Demon Emperor immediately retreated, thus leading to chaotic warfare again, turning into four against three.

This is a high-level match; everyone is a micro-operation expert; it’s impossible to have a losing situation. Fighting until now, with all tactics exhausted, it’s only maintained at a draw.

Thus the key to victory or defeat lies in the mid-level match.

“Vanguard General replacement on the stage!”

At this moment, as Old Turtle commanded, Wang Wu and others who had been replaced less than three minutes ago as Vanguard Generals had to take the stage again, but this time, it wasn’t just the six of them; instead, it was a full thirty-six Third-Grade Great Demons forming a blood-colored battle banner array.

Undoubtedly, the situation was urgent; the north line was annihilated and needed a rapid attack!

Otherwise, when the North’s Quick Reaction Sword Array is transferred here, it would be miserable.

Exactly, the Quick Reaction Sword Array is such; it can be quickly shifted, easy to deploy, great for both siege and field battles.

And clearly, the Human Race is genuinely desperate too.

Once the Grand Array is broken, that’s the end!

When the thirty-six Great Demons including Wang Wu replaced on the battlefield, taking on all attacks, they immediately felt a storm, suffocating as if under Heaven and Earth Destruction.

“Damn it, won’t the Human Race release Heaven and Earth Destruction?”

In Wang Wu’s heart, there was some worry; the Human Race has a habit of having a very distinct inclination for mutual hatred, for perishing together with the enemy, a tragic tendency.

Now, as the Spiritual Qi on this battlefield boils like hot oil, the conditions for releasing the Celestial Extinction Earth Destruction Fireball are met, but once this big fireball erupts, regardless inside or outside the city, within or outside the array, those insufficient in power will all surely perish!

“Damn, I need to stack up Ice and Fire Shield! Just in case!”

Wang Wu’s heart moved, and he frantically began armoring himself.

At this moment, being thirty-six Vanguard Generals, the effect of the Blood Qi Battle Banner Array was excellent; the damage could only break ten layers of Ice and Fire Shields per second, so he could basically stack up ten more layers per second.

As a result, after ten seconds, he directly morphed into a giant ice bear standing at a height of over fifteen hundred meters.

“Brother Xiong Wu, you are a True Dragon Bi! Quickly, give the brothers a few layers of Ice Shield!”

Brother Five Claws was shouting and hollering.

And Wang Wu indeed listened to him, immediately giving everyone one layer of Ice and Fire Shield, but the next second was sternly reprimanded by Old Turtle!

“Fool! Don’t waste your Qi Blood Spiritual Light!”

“Also, don’t keep stacking shields; speed up, Xiong Wu, since you’re such a Dragon Bi, you take the lead!”
