Chapter 1704 War Between Two Races
"Xie Yuan! Xie Cang! Come out and face your death!"
A chilling roar shook the heavens and earth. A man clad in gilded armor stood amidst the golden light, wielding a golden longsword. His aura was clearly that of a half-step Dao God Realm expert. He was none other than Jin Lie, the leader of the Spirit Clan. Behind him followed more than two hundred golden guards at the Dao Immortal Lord Realm, each wielding a long spear. Their imposing presence was overwhelming, and their golden armor gleamed brightly in the miasma, exuding a murderous intent that reached the heavens.
“It was Jin Lie! A million years ago, he led the slaughter of nearly a thousand members of my Xie clan. He was the most vicious henchman under the Spirit God.”
Some of the older clansmen recognized Jin Lie, their voices trembling, and they instinctively backed away.
Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor stepped out of the cave first, his azure light soaring into the sky and confronting the golden light. His ancestral tablet floated above his head, runes flowing around it.
"Jin Lie, the blood debt you owed my Xie Clan a million years ago must be repaid today!"
Song Yu and the Demon Emperor followed closely behind, flanking the Evil Emperor on either side. Xie Cang led more than forty of his clansmen who had undergone body tempering and stood at the rear, holding ancient spiritual weapons surrounded by azure light. Although they were still tense, they all straightened their backs and no one retreated.
"Pay with your life? Ridiculous!"
Jin Lie brandished his longsword, and over a hundred golden guards charged forward. Dense golden spear shadows rained down on the crowd like a storm. "The remnants of the Xie clan should be exterminated. Today, we will raze this place to the ground and wipe the Xie clan out of the world."
"Clan members, form the Azure Spirit Array! Protect yourselves and fight the enemy!"
Xie Cang shouted a command, and the eighty-odd members of the Xie clan immediately formed a circular formation. The azure light gathered into a huge shield to block the first round of gunfire. At the same time, countless azure spirit blades shot out from the formation. Although their power was limited, they still forced the Golden Guards' formation to become slightly disordered.
Song Yu's figure flashed, and the Samsara Immortal Sword was drawn. Black and white sword energy crisscrossed, transforming into thousands of sword shadows, rushing straight into the Golden Guard formation. He shouted in a low voice: "Samsara? Break the formation!"
Wherever the sword energy passed, the Golden Guards' physical bodies shattered, and their souls were annihilated by the power of reincarnation. They screamed in agony, and in an instant, dozens of Golden Guards perished.
The Demon Emperor was even more ferocious. His Blood Demon Spear swept across the battlefield, and demonic energy and blood energy intertwined to form a blood-red rainbow. Each spear thrust pierced the heart of a Golden Guard. The demonic energy entered the body and instantly devoured the soul. He unleashed his full power as a peak Dao God, moving through the Golden Guard formation as if it were empty. No one could stop him when the tip of his spear reached it. In a short while, he killed or wounded more than half of the Golden Guards. The ground was covered with golden corpses, and the blood stained the soil red.
The Evil Emperor then symbolically engaged in combat with Jin Lie.
The green blade was drawn and clashed with the golden longsword, creating a deafening roar that tore tiny cracks in the void.
Jin Lie possessed immense combat power, unleashing the full aura of a half-step Dao God Realm expert. His blade light was imbued with domineering spiritual power, making each strike deadly. Every slash was accompanied by golden flames, scorching the surrounding void!
"So you are Xie Yuan? Your elder brother died by my grandfather's blade back then, and today you will not escape death either!"
Mentioning his elder brother, the Evil Emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stopped joking. The azure light around him surged instantly, and his aura began to rise. Runes flickered on the azure blade, drawing upon the power of the surrounding spiritual veins, transforming it into countless spiritual blades that pierced towards Jin Lie!
"you wanna die!"
With just this one move, Jin Lie's body was immediately separated from his head, his soul was scattered, and even his divine essence turned into ashes and completely dissipated!
The moment Jin Lie's soul dissipated, the remaining Jin guards all showed fear on their faces, their hands holding spears trembling uncontrollably, and their previous fearless arrogance vanished completely.
They only dared to act recklessly because of Jin Lie's half-step Dao God aura. Now that their commander has fallen, and faced with the slaughter by Song Yu and the Demon Emperor and the counterattack of the Xie clan, their morale has already collapsed!
"They're just defeated soldiers; kill them all to prevent future trouble!"
The Demon Emperor held back completely, sweeping the Blood Demon Spear through the air and unleashing a blood-red gale. More than ten Golden Guards who were trying to escape were instantly cut in half at the waist. Demonic energy invaded their bodies, and even their souls and divine cores were crushed into ashes!
Song Yu's figure flickered, and the Samsara Immortal Sword transformed into a black and white stream of light, shuttling among the remaining golden guards. Wherever the sword passed, the golden guards' armor shattered, and their souls and divine cores were pulled apart by the power of reincarnation and shattered on the spot!
He deliberately spared two survivors, pressing his immortal sword against their throats, and coldly asked, "How many troops does the ancient spirit god still have? Besides you, are there any other teams that have come to the Cangmang Ancient Forest this time?"
The two Golden Guards were terrified, their bodies limp, trembling as they said, "The Spirit God knows that the Evil Clan is hiding here. Besides Commander Jin's troops, there are also three armies at the Dao Limitless Realm, each led by a Spirit General. They will arrive within half a day! Furthermore... the Spirit God said that if this place cannot be taken, he will come personally, and at that time he will surely grind the Evil Clan to dust!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Yu raised an eyebrow, unleashing a burst of sword energy that instantly ended the lives of the two men.
"Senior, the situation is critical. The Spirit Clan has three reinforcements, and the ancient Spirit God may even arrive in person. We should not stay here any longer!"
If it weren't for the ancient spirit gods, they would have nothing to fear; it's a pity that guy even came...
He had no choice but to take it seriously!
The Evil Emperor gazed at the corpses scattered on the ground, his face, wreathed in azure light, filled with solemnity. He raised his hand to collect the remaining fragments of Jin Lie's divine essence and said in a deep voice!
"The power of the Spirit Blood Pool can only last for three days. The clansmen's combat strength relies on the activation of their bloodline. If they fight head-on with three armies, it will only increase casualties. Cang'er, pack up all the ancestral relics in the cave's hidden chamber. We will move immediately to the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave in the deepest part of the Cangmang Ancient Forest. There are branches of the Primordial Spirit Vein there, which can conceal our aura and we can also use the power of the Spirit Vein to set up a killing formation."
Xie Cang quickly replied, "Yes, Grandpa Yuan! I will arrange for the clansmen to pack up the belongings, and the elderly, weak, women and children will set off first!"
No one dared to delay. The Xie clan members split into two groups, with the elderly, women, and children being escorted by more than ten clan members with slightly weaker combat strength, and they set off first into the depths of the ancient forest!
Song Yu, the Demon Emperor, the Evil Emperor, and Xie Cang led the remaining seventy-odd young and strong clansmen to cover the rear, cleaning up traces along the way while remaining vigilant for reinforcements from the Spirit Clan!
But after walking only a few miles, three whooshing sounds came from the sky. Three golden figures, leading more than a hundred golden guards, rushed over. Their auras were all at the mid-stage of the Dao God Realm. They were the three Spirit Generals of the Spirit Clan!
The leader, wielding a long golden whip, roared with a sinister gaze, "Xie Yuan! How dare you kill Commander Jin! Today, you will pay for this in blood!"
"They're nothing but three clowns, yet they dare to spout such nonsense!"
The Demon Emperor stepped forward, his Blood Demon Spear pointed directly at the three, demonic energy surging. "Song Yu, you protect them and leave first. Leave these three pieces of trash to me!"
Song Yu nodded, but did not set off immediately. Instead, he set up the Reincarnation Trapping Array, enveloping the surrounding void: "I'll help you hold them off. Let's finish this quickly!"
They were all at the mid-stage of Dao Godhood, and even if the Demon Emperor had fully recovered, he could not kill them instantly!
The Evil Emperor also said, "Cang'er, take your people and go first. The Demon Emperor, Song Yu, and I will follow shortly!"
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Xie Cang said no more and led his people to rush towards the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave.
The Demon Emperor charged forward, his Blood Demon Spear flashing, a crimson rainbow piercing the sun, heading straight for the three Spirit Generals!
The leading spirit general brandished his long whip, the golden whip shadow coiling like a venomous snake, colliding with the Blood Demon Spear and bursting forth with blinding light. Seeing this, the other two spirit generals attacked simultaneously, their golden spiritual power transforming into giant palms and sharp blades, beginning a pincer attack on the Demon Emperor!
The Demon Emperor showed no fear, unleashing his full power as a peak Dao God. His demonic energy and blood energy intertwined to form a massive demonic shadow. He used his spear tip to deflect a long whip, slashed to repel a sharp blade, and then pierced through the shoulder of a Spirit General, instantly allowing demonic energy to invade his body!
The spirit general let out a miserable cry. His divine essence was damaged and his aura plummeted, but he remained fierce and brave, gritting his teeth and urging his spiritual power to fight back.
Song Yu then unleashed the Samsara Immortal Sword, its black and white sword energy merging into the trapping formation. The space within the formation distorted, hindering the movements of the three spirit generals. Their souls were further disturbed by the power of reincarnation, causing their attacks to become increasingly sluggish.
"You troublesome brat!"
The leading spirit general roared, his whip lashing out and striking towards Song Yu. Song Yu dodged the whip with a swift movement, his immortal sword aimed directly at the general's brow, unleashing the power of reincarnation: "Reincarnation? Annihilation!"
Black and white sword energy condensed into a sword pillar, which slammed into the chest of the leading spirit general. His golden armor shattered instantly, his divine core crumbled, and he was sent flying backward, spitting out golden blood.
Seizing the opportunity, the Demon Emperor hurled the Blood Demon Spear into the air, piercing directly through the man's skull, causing his soul to completely dissipate.
Seeing their companion die tragically, the remaining two spirit generals had already decided to retreat and try to break through and escape, but they were trapped by the Samsara Trapping Formation.
Song Yu and the Demon Emperor joined forces and killed the two in less than half an incense stick's time. The remaining Golden Guards were also slaughtered by sword energy and demonic energy.
"Hurry up, the Spirit Clan reinforcements will likely come later. If the ancient spirit gods arrive in person, we will have no chance against them," the Evil Emperor urged, and the three of them immediately chased after the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave.
……
Meanwhile, within the Mind Temple in the Universe, the ancient spirit god sat upon a golden throne, seven marks swirling around his body. The sixth mark was slightly dimmed, clearly due to the destruction of his previous avatar.
When the news of Jin Lie and the three spirit generals' deaths arrived, his golden spiritual power surged suddenly, the void around his throne shattered instantly, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire Spirit God Palace.
"Evil Abyss! Song Yu! Demon Emperor!!!"
The ancient spirit god's voice was icy cold and filled with boundless rage, "I intended to spare your lives for a few more days, but I never expected you to repeatedly thwart my grand plans and slaughter my spirit race's soldiers! Today, I will personally go to the desolate ancient forest, grind you to dust, and then exterminate the remnants of the evil clan to seize the Primordial Spirit Technique!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed into a golden streak of light, breaking through the dome of the Spirit God Temple and speeding towards the vast ancient forest.
The void along the way kept cracking, and even the gods bowed their heads and gave way, with no one daring to stop them.
Deep within the ancient forest, outside the Cave of Ten Thousand Spirits, Xie Cang and his clansmen had already arrived.
This place is indeed rich in spiritual energy. Ancient trees tower around it, and the entrance to the cave is shrouded in dense spiritual mist, with faint fluctuations of ancient spiritual veins.
The Xie clan members were setting up a concealment formation when they saw Song Yu and his companions arrive. They quickly stepped forward, saying, "Grandpa Yuan, gentlemen, there's a protective formation left by our ancestors inside the Myriad Spirits Cave. Once activated, it can withstand attacks from peak Dao God Realm cultivators, but..."
"Just what?" Song Yu asked.
Xie Cang looked troubled: "However, activating the great formation requires the ancestral spiritual power. Our clan's bloodline is now thin, and no one can unleash its full power. At most, we can only hold out for half a day."
