Chapter 563: Pill refining
In the crystal slot in front of Chu Tian, there were two different coloured liquids. One was white gold and the other was black purple, both of them releasing energy. There seemed to be a kind of lightning jumping through them and it was hard to imagine what kind of power was contained within them.
The two different liquids were essence drawn from a god and demon's body respectively.
Chu Tian was very clear how powerful the energy contained within these things were. The pill furnace he was using was bought from Thunder's Fury by Miracle Commerce and it was made of top grade level four materials. It was so powerful that even the Titan's divine thunder couldn't destroy it.
There were several other arrays being used in this pill refinement. Other than the core array Chu Tian used for refining, there were also large amounts of stabilizing, additive, strengthening, and blessing arrays. Smart Brain was using source stones to provide energy for these arrays.
The preparatory work was pretty much done now.
Now he could begin!
Chu Tian threw several precious materials into the cauldron like he didn't care about money. The source energy arrays all around him activated at the same time and the runes lit up one by one, turning into source energy arrays. The source energy arrays lit up one by one as they formed an even larger source energy array.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Intense energy fluctuations came from the lab as countless runes crawled forward like nimble worms as they covered the surface of the cauldron. When the various assisting arrays were activated, Chu Tian began to refine the pill. The material inside the cauldron were refined and the sound of a storm rang out as the energy inside the precious materials were stimulated by the arrays.
Chu Tian had a very calm expression as he kept refining for several minutes. When the storm of sounds gradually became smaller, Chu Tian placed a Five Coloured Immortal Fruit into the cauldron.
The instant the Five Coloured Immortal Fruit was placed in.
Large amounts of strange signs instantly appeared from the cauldron. There was a five coloured cloud, all kinds of noises, and waves of spiritual energy instantly filled the entire laboratory. The cauldron shook several times and if it wasn't for the rare materials used to make it, it would have exploded already.
The herbs inside the cauldron, they were all rare top grade items. Not to mention the third level middle Immortal Grade Five Coloured Immortal Fruit, any one of these herbs could be used as precious main herbs in a pill. Now they were being used as supporting herbs, how extravagant and wasteful was this?
Chu Tian gradually felt tired as the trembling of the cauldron became stronger, just like a beast that was cornered and banging around inside the cauldron as it tried to escape from its imprisonment. This power was very strong and it was close to a peak 9th True Spirit Cultivator going wild. Luckily Chu Tian had placed enough arrays that could suppress this power.
However, letting this power run wild was not a proper way since it would make the pill refining time even longer and would greatly affect the quality of the pill. Flames appeared in Chu Tian's flames and these blue and white flames formed two dragons as they surrounded the shaking cauldron. Faint traces of flames seeped into the cauldron and the powerful Netherworld Ghost Flame immediately suppressed the trembling, sealing the cauldron like a giant piece of ice.
The Netherworld Ghost Flame could be used to suppress the rampaging power when a pill was being formed.
Chu Tian increased his speed, refining the material inside the cauldron until the cauldron finally calmed down. Chu Tian waved his right hand and the cauldron was opened, causing a rainbow coloured light to come out. Waves of spiritual energy filled the laboratory as several dragons danced in the air. This scene was powerful enough to stun anyone.
Too strong!
This was the image of an Immortal Pill being born!
This was a middle grade level three Immortal Pill that was close to the high grade. Even if it was given to someone in the peak 9th True Spirit Layer, it would be enough to largely increase their cultivation. Not to mention Chu Tian who had just reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. If he directly swallowed it, it wouldn't be strange if he even jumped up two cultivation layers!
What Chu Tian wanted to refine was not an Immortal Pill.
This Immortal Pill was just a half finished product for Chu Tian!
Chu Tian was not in a rush to take the Immortal Pill out, rather he surrounded it in Netherworld Ghost Flames, causing the pill to sink back into the cauldron. With both hands, he poured the demonic and divine essence into the cauldron and the three materials instantly mixed together!
The cauldron was sealed again!
Another round of refining began!
If the alchemist masters of the continent saw Chu Tian's refining method, their eyes would have popped out into the cauldron. This had never been seen before. A peak pill was refined with great effort, but this pill was not the finished product, but rather a half finished product or it could even be called a material.
Chu Tian used the pill as the main material and used the divine and demonic solutions as supporting materials. The three came together and they were refined again. Using pills to refine pills, this kind of shocking technique was something only an inventive and skilled alchemist could do.
This was because the essence of refining pills was to remove impurities, fuse essences, create change, and combine everything together again as an elevated product. To extract essence from normal materials was already a very complicated matter, not to mention combining, changing, and elevating it.
The pill itself was very complicated with various stable ingredients contained within. No one had ever heard of something decomposing a pill again and using it as a refining material!
Chu Tian was simply a maniac!
The Immortal Pill shattered inside the cauldron and it was filled with explosions. The entire cauldron shook with violent energy that slammed against the incomparably firm cauldron walls. Various instruments inside the laboratory began to crack and the walls in all directions began to form large amounts of fissures.
Chu Tian used the Starlight Immortal Body to forcefully block this attack. He didn't even blink as he kept staring at the cauldron and continued to refine. The demonic and divine essence combined with the fragmented pill in the cauldron and something incredible happened. The fragments dissolved while the demonic and divine essence solidified. Following that, it began to inflate like a balloon and continued to inflate outwards.
It was like a newly born placenta growing at an incredible speed!
The cauldron kept shaking and the walls made sounds like they were about to crack. Chu Tian's Divine Sense found large amounts of tiny fissures on the cauldron walls, like the cauldron was about to explode. Once the energy in the cauldron lost control, even if the laboratory was not blown apart, it would cause large amounts of damage to the laboratory!
He had to hold on!
Otherwise all his efforts would be wasted!
Chu Tian's body gave off the sound of an explosion before he released a powerful flame clone that charged at the cauldron. This clone was just made of Netherworld Ghost Flames, but it contained all of Chu Tian's Divine Sense. It charged right at the cauldron that was filled with flames and the Netherworld Ghost Flame seeped in through the cracks, forming a barrier between the cauldron and the materials.
The entire cauldron now looked like a cauldron made of flames.
Chu Tian split his mind as he used his Divine Sense to stabilize the cauldron while using his spirit energy to activate the arrays. The cracks on the cauldron slowly became bigger and the energy within became stronger and stronger, but the refinement slowly and calmly continued.
Waves of energy fluctuations were already being sent throughout the underground research laboratory.
Even the slowest person could also feel the existence of this power.
This energy was too terrifying, even if Death Wing and the others were here, their expressions would change. What kind of terrifying experiment was the City Lord doing? If it were to fail, not only would the underground laboratory be destroyed, it would be hard to keep the City Lord's life!
While everyone was feeling restless, Chu Tian reached a critical moment in his refinement. There was a spider web of cracks all over the cauldron and the Netherworld Ghost Flame wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
This is bad.
It will definitely explode like this!
Chu Tian felt this thing was pretty much refined, but this thing didn't form a pill after all this refinement. However, there was no other way. The cauldron was already greatly damaged and this thing was too powerful, how could it be easy to form a pill?
If the medicinal power couldn't form a pill, the cauldron would explode when it was opened and the herbs would become worthless.
Now he had reached the final step.
Would the pill congealing step fail?
How could he be willing? Chu Tian knew the situation was very bad because forming the pill seemed like something impossible to do.
What to do?
How could he solve it?
The race against time didn't allow him to consider this!
Chu Tian steeled his heart and stimulated his Netherworld Flame, sending it all into the cauldron. Large amounts of Netherworld Flame burned with the medicinal energy inside the cauldron and he combined the medicinal energy and essence inside the cauldron with his Netherworld Flame!
"The moment is now!"
The cauldron exploded as it couldn't take the damage and the terrifying wave spread in all directions, shattering all the equipment inside the laboratory. The special walls with runes making them stronger shattered apart like weak paper.
Hong!
The entire laboratory was blown to pieces!
Although the cauldron had exploded, the things inside the cauldron were wrapped inside a layer of Netherworld Ghost Flames. This was something that mixed golden white with purple black, being surrounded by the sparkling of a rainbow glow. The Netherworld Ghost Flame wrapped everything inside like an air bubble.
Chu Tian charged forward and his arms went into the air bubble trapped inside the flames. Chu Tian released his source spirit as his eyes turned jet black and he turned into a bottomless black hole. A powerful attraction drew the surrounding energy into his body!
In an instant!
Waves after waves of energy wildly poured into his body.
Chu Tian didn't congeal the pill, but rather he directly sucked in everything!
Chapter 564: Progressing suddenly!
Chu Tian did something innovative once again!
Couldn't congeal the pill? No problem!
He used the Netherworld Ghost Flame to seal the medicinal power and then used the flame cauldron to keep refining the material. At the same time, he used his innate swallowing energy to skip over the pill congealing step. Or it could be said that he used his body as a vessel to congeal the pill!
Large amounts of energy filled his body!
Chu Tian directly used it to refine his body!
This was without a doubt very dangerous matter. The human body was very weak and even if it was a powerful body like the Behemoth's, it would be very hard to withstand this kind of destruction!
The Perfection Realm of the Starlight Immortal Body made Chu Tian's physique and restorative power surpass normal people's, but that did not mean that his physique could match the super powerful beast Behemoth! The moment the endless energy entered his body, Chu Tian's skin and muscles were torn apart while also suffering heavy wounds to his meridians. Not being ripped apart on the scene was already a great miracle!
The energy began to move even faster inside Chu Tian and in just a few breaths, Chu Tian was covered in countless cuts from head to toe. This damage was enough to take down several Behemoths, with his body collapsing in almost in instant.
At this extremely critical moment, Chu Tian's body was covered in a rainbow light. His flesh that had been injured was quickly restored by some kind of energy.
Chu Tian's ideas were very correct!
He had already guessed that he couldn't take the baptism of the divine and demonic energy, therefore he chose to refine an Immortal Pill with a powerful self regeneration effect. He used the power of the Immortal Pill to heal the backlash to his body. Chu Tian current condition was an unending cycle of destruction and restoration.
This process was undoubtedly painful, but it allowed his body to completely change. Each drop of blood, each piece of flesh, and each bone was filled with the demonic and divine power. Chu Tian's cultivation leaped up during this process.
6th True Spirit Layer, peak 6th True Spirit Layer, 7th True Spirit Layer, peak 7th True Spirit Layer, 8th True Spirit Layer!
This kind of increase had never happened to Chu Tian before. He skipped over several cultivation levels and finally reached the 8th True Spirit Layer! If most of the energy wasn't being used to change his body, Chu Tian's cultivation could have even reached the peak of the True Spirit Layer!
Chu Tian didn't care about increasing a level or two because a level or two of cultivation was not worth that much to Chu Tian. His cultivation could be slowly increased, but the chance to transform was hard to obtain!
The entire process was intense and short!
In just around an hour, all of the energy was used up. Chu Tian's clothes had been ripped apart, but his body seemed much stronger than before. Each inch of flesh seemed condensed and each piece of his muscle were filled with power, releasing a faint, but bright glow.
Success!
Success!
Chu Tian could clearly feel that he had been reborn as the divine and demonic energy flowed through his body. From his bones to his blood to his muscles, all of them had undergone a large qualitative change.
There was too much noise coming from the underground laboratory.
Meng Qingwu was paying attention to this place because she was very worried about Chu Tian's condition, so she called Delores and Death Wing who had business in Miracle City over. They came to the underground laboratory to see Chu Tian's condition with several other high level Miracle Commerce members.
Who would have thought that when they arrived, Chu Tian had already finished everything.
He had already changed into a new robe as he appeared in front of everyone.
Nangong Yun called out in surprise, "Boss, what happened here? Why did you suddenly change!"
Everyone found that Chu Tian's figure was better than before. His muscles were sleek and not exaggerated, being streamline in appearance, having the explosive force of a wild leopard. His skin was even more smoother than that of the elves. His height even increased by five-eight centimeters.
Chu Tian already looked good and now after this large change, it highlighted his masculinity, increasing his charm by several times.
Many female elven researchers looking at Chu Tian couldn't stop their cheeks from turning red, their hearts from beating fast, and began to whisper to each other.
Chu Tian didn't care about the change in his appearance because he already felt he was handsome, even a bit of charm was just adding to perfection. What he really wanted to know now was that after the demonic and divine essence transformation, how much his various aspects had increased.
"Come, we're going to the experiment field!"
The experiment field was mainly used for testing the might of weapons or talismans, therefore there were large amount of testing fields. Chu Tian moved to a metal doll that was around three meters tall. Each one of these metal dolls were made of level three metals, so destructive might could be measured with how much damage was dealt to it.
"Sir City Lord, are you certain you want to use these dolls?" Clark hesitantly reminded Chu Tian, "These dolls are used to test heavy Source Energy Weapons, we've never used it to test personal strength. Only barbarians with physical strength that is several times greater than normal people….."
"Stop wasting words, let them all out!"
Several metal dolls came out.
Chu Tian's eyes fell onto the first doll and his fist tightened, causing his bones to let out several cracks. Without using any cultivation technique or spirit energy, Chu Tian released his physical strength. Just like a cannonball flying out, it slammed into the metal doll.
With a hong sound!
The several ton body of the doll collapsed and it flew several dozen meters away before rolling several dozen meters. The metal surface created sparks and ear grating sounds as it scraped against the ground.
"32% destruction!" A researcher wiped his sweat away, "Sir City Lord's fist might is already close to that of a Source Energy Cannon!"
Everyone revealed looks of shock.
A fist was on par with a Source Energy Cannon? Wasn't this too exaggerated!
If Chu Tian used his spirit energy with his cultivation, his destructive might couldn't be as strong as a Source Energy Cannon. What everyone noticed now was that when Chu Tian sent his punch out, he only used his physical strength, so this destructive might was pure destructive might!
If just a physical body could be this strong, Chu Tian's body wasn't that different from that of great ancient era beasts!
Chu Tian shook his head like he wasn't satisfied.
He stepped off with both feet.
With a harsh grating sound, Chu Tian's fist slammed into a metal doll like a mountain. The doll caved in and was sent flying by that terrifying might.
"38% destruction!"
Chu Tian flew out in front of another doll like an arrow. His right leg flew out like an axe and the doll's head was forced into its chest, as its knees collapsed into the ground.
"40% destruction!"
"43% destruction!"
"47% destruction!"
Chu Tian's strength grew with each attack, with each attack having a clear increase in power!
After Chu Tian destroyed five dolls, he suddenly stopped moving. There was a golden light that appeared in his eyes as he released a powerful Divine Sense, moving the five dolls and gathering them in a row.
What did he want to do?
Everyone revealed confused looks.
Chu Tian's fists tightened and he looked different from before. There was a faint red light that appeared in the depths of his eyes, red that didn't represent fire, but rather a wild power that looked down on everything!
Strength!
This was one of the nine powers of Chu Tian's source spirit. Pure physical strength, pure power, pure destructive might! Although Chu Tian could always use this power, because his body wasn't strong enough, he couldn't bear to use this immense power. He had never met the conditions for releasing this power!
There were cracks several meters wide that formed with Chu Tian at the center, just like a giant dragon stepping onto the ground from above. Actually when Chu Tian jumped off, he was like a pack of Behemoths, carrying destructive might that could destroy everything in his path!
"Roar!"
Chu Tian let out a low roar. Although he didn't use any spiritual or spirit energy, it was like roaring thunder in the ears of everyone who heard it. It made people feel like they weren't facing a human, but rather a giant dragon or a Behemoth!
Chu Tian's fist created dazzling flames in the air as it slammed into the first metal doll. The metal doll was smashed like dough as it twisted under the power that it couldn't resist. Finally with an explosive sound, it shattered apart on the spot.
This terrifying might passed through the first doll as it landed onto the second one, which also shattered like the first. When it hit the third doll, this terrifying might had weakened slightly, as only half of the doll collapsed. It left a deep hole in the chest of the fourth doll before finally hitting the fifth doll.
The fifth doll flew high up from this wild strength and it was no longer in human form when it fell down.
The first three had a 100% destruction degree!
The fourth had a 90% destruction degree!
The fifth had a 70% destruction degree!
This terrifying power that came from a single punch from Chu Tian could compare to a Behemoth of the same cultivation level. Even Miracle Commerce's strongest Source Energy Cannon couldn't reach this level of power.
What was even more terrifying was something else.
Chu Tian didn't use an cultivation techniques, he just used the pure might of his body!
In other words, Chu Tian's body alone had already exceeded the limits of a mortal. From this day forth, even if he ran out of spirit energy, he could use this wild might to resist any cultivator of the same level!
The power of this fist was too strong.
Chu Tian's fist was bloody, but not a single drop of blood came out. Chu Tian didn't heal it, but his wounds healed themselves in a short period of time. It had returned to normal in just a little while!
This kind of terrifying restorative power was not something humans should have!
Chu Tian had already surpassed the body of a mortal and he could charge into the Heaven Domain Realm. He even had the capital and potential to charge into a higher realm!
Chapter 565: All kinds of danger
Chu Tian's overwhelming power left a deep impression and shock on anyone who had personally witnessed it, even the Elven King and the Dragon Lord were not exceptions. It wouldn't be strange if Chu Tian was a Behemoth, but Chu Tian was only just a human!
Humans were innately weak!
A human's physique was frail!
No matter how much space for growth a human was, their bodies were still human bodies. Humans relied heavily on spirit energy and they weren't stronger than a normal human once they used up all their spirit energy. They had never heard of a human body that was as strong as that of a Behemoth's!
The two of them were high level Heaven Domain Experts, Chu Tian's current strength was not enough to enter their eyes, but his growth speed was just too shocking. He had jumped several levels from a single session of closed door cultivation. With this speed, Chu Tian would soon reach the Heaven Domain Realm!
Chu Tian's cultivation could progress this suddenly was mainly because of his rich preparation. Chu Tian not only absorbed the divine and demonic essence, he also had several other Immortal Herbs and precious materials with the Five Coloured Immortal Fruit as the main ingredient. This was enough for someone in the peak 9th True Spirit Layer to reach the Heaven Domain Realm, but now it was just being used for a few trivial levels.
Actually Chu Tian's tests had just begun and he began to test various other aspects. Chu Tian found that after he absorbed the divine and demonic essence, although he couldn't resist all curses, restrictions, and poisons like true divine blood, he was immune to most of them. Although he didn't have the corrosiveness of demonic blood, Chu Tian's abilities had a strong corrosiveness and demonic aura to it.
Other than that, the quality of Chu Tian's spirit energy, his meridian tenacity, and various other aspects were all increased!
This experiment had never been recorded before and no one had ever tried performing it.
This procedure was very dangerous because whether it was a god or a demon, it was a powerful existence normal beings couldn't even imagine. To try to gain divine or demonic energy was just crazy. Even the ancient Heaven Race would not dare directly absorb demonic or divine power. They would absorb the energy through special growing fields to grow herbs and using those herbs to transform themselves.
Atu had entered the ancient farming field by accident to receive a treasure. Finally, he was lucky enough to not die, but he also changed beyond recognition. Now he no longer had the same appearance of his origin race and had turned into a monster.
Chu Tian had analyzed the specialties of demons and gods with the ancient god's memories, finally drawing out a plan to neutralize the demonic and divine power. He never thought that it would succeed to this extent. Chu Tian's power increase was not small and he had gained quite a bit from combining them together!
A human could make themselves as strong as a giant dragon or a Behemoth?
The Dragon Lord said in a somewhat down voice, "City Lord Chu Tian is truly skilled, you can actually create this kind of heavenly change."
"Ha, ha, ha, is this small trick worth mentioning? You don't need to envy me, I was just experimenting on myself!" Chu Tian directly promised everyone, "Relax, everyone will have a similar chance!"
Everyone revealed looks of shock.
How could everyone achieve this!
Actually Chu Tian had taken several pieces of ancient god spine bone out of the Central State Trial Tower and it was not something Chu Tian could use all at once. However, the extra bit was not enough for others to undergo the same change, after all, not everyone could stand what Chu Tian did and it required Immortal Materials that were hard to find.
It wasn't like there wasn't any other ways.
Chu Tian brought people to the Purgatory World, using a special method to mine the ancient demon blood essence while also studying the Heaven Race's altar. He then returned to Miracle City through the Transport Tower and sectioned off a small area in the Miracle Gardens.
He imitated the Heaven Race's farms and used the ancient demon blood essence as materials because in the Miracle Gardens, there was the ancient Tree of Life helping it grow. It would require up to a hundred years for it to grow, but now it could grow in just twenty-thirty years.
Chu Tian could easily obtain herbs containing the powerful ancient demon powers. Because the ancient demon energy inside the herbs were too strong, they needed to be weakened by a large amount before being used. He would just need to use the ancient god bones and use the ancient Tree of Life's leaves instead of the Five Coloured Immortal Fruit. With this situation, he could refine a weaker version of the God and Demon Pill.
Although the pill would be greatly weakened, unable to create a transformation like Chu Tian's, it could allow an ordinary life form become a Heaven Domain Expert or reach an even higher realm. At the same time, it would greatly increase their cultivation.
While Chu Tian was busying himself, Meng Qingwu urgently called him over, saying that there was something very important to discuss. When Chu Tian came to the City Lord's Fort, he saw most of Miracle City's high level commanders present.
Chu Tian didn't need to guess to know that they were going to war when he saw this lineup.
"The Great Zhou Country has sent an urgent report. The Eagle Burial Kingdom has mobilized troops to ambush the three northern country alliance and being caught unaware, over ten cities have already been taken. Most of the Northern Militant Country's prairies have already been invaded." Meng Qingwu's expression was very serious, "Based on the speed and movement of the troops, this should be a planned attack. They even saved enough strength to deal with our reinforcements. This means that with the intelligence gathering methods of the Eagle Burial Kingdom, they even know our strength inside the Forest of Chaos!"
Chu Tian couldn't help knitting his brows.
The Eagle Burial Kingdom was a large warring kingdom and one that was quickly expanding. They were a spirit beast kingdom where all their citizens were soldiers and they had millions of trained elites, while also developing the surrounding small and medium sized countries. The spirit beast's ferocity and speed in invading allowed them to live off fighting, allowing them to invade like a pack of wolves.
Even among the other warring kingdoms of the continent, the Eagle Burial Kingdom was one of the higher ranked kingdoms.
Such an aggressive country in just a short period of time gathered half of their troops, using them to attack the three country alliance which the Great Zhou Country led. This was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
The most likely possibility is that the Eagle Burial Kingdom knew of the existence of the Forest of Chaos. They not only knew of the Forest of Chaos, they even knew that there were several powers that could match the Eagle Burial Kingdom hidden within. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that these powers had formed an alliance and were supporting the three kingdom alliance.
When this news was sent to the Eagle Burial Kingdom, how could they not feel pressured?
This reason alone made them give up the battles they were smoothly winning, using everything to attack the three kingdom alliance. However, what people were confused about was why did the Eagle Burial Kingdom know of the powers inside the Forest of Chaos?
The Forest of Chaos was tens of thousands of miles away from the Eagle Burial Kingdom!
The Forest of Chaos was a sealed place and there weren't many people in the three kingdoms who knew the situation inside the Forest of Chaos. The Eagle Burial Kingdom was so far away and without any merchants, how did they find out and confirm this piece of news?
This was not a small problem!
Chu Tian thought about it before saying, "It doesn't matter, we would have to fight the Eagle Burial Kingdom eventually. Since they took the initiative to attack, we might as well seize the home field advantage. Miracle Commerce is no longer the same Miracle Commerce, the four alliance powers are not weaker than warring kingdoms. At worst we'll get ten giant dragon from the Dragon Ridge, ten Behemoths from the Savage Highlands, and some support from the Eternal Forest and the Giant's Mountain Range. I don't believe we can't beat the Eagle Burial Kingdom's army!"
"This problem is not as simple as you think." Meng Qingwu shook her head and said, "No matter how strong the Forest of Chaos local powers are, they are still locals and can't form a country. The Eagle Burial Kingdom have over ten million soldiers, this is something none of the Forest Alliance powers can match. We only have a superiority in number of experts, but faced with absolute numbers, it would be hard to change the course of events even if we sent large amount of experts. Not to mention that the three kingdom alliance isn't in the Forest Alliance territory. There won't be any forces that will take the risk of fighting a warring kingdom for us!"
Meng Qingwu had her own reason for saying this!
"The other thing I'm worried about is that I think the Eagle Burial Kingdom's attack south is not accidental and was stirred by some other power. The one that stirred them is probably a forest power and one that is trying to subvert the Forest Alliance. The Subterranean World is the most suspicious power."
Meng Qingwu continued her calm analysis.
"We have very little information on the Subterranea World, we only know that the powerful Spider Queen is very ambitious. The one most unwilling to see the Forest Alliance form is them and the matter of us seeping into the Purgatory World shouldn't escape their information network. Therefore whether it is in the Purgatory World, the surface world, or the Subterranean World, the Forest Alliance is a thorn in their sides. The Eagle Burial Kingdom is only their first move against the Forest Alliance but I don't think it is their only move!"
Chu Tian nodded, "The young miss' analysis is very logical. Then what defenses does the young miss think we should deploy?"
"Borrowing outer force when inner force isn't enough, this is a tactic used since ancient times. The Eagle Burial Kingdom is a powerful external force, but it isn't enough to shake the Forest Alliance, it is only to attract our attention. If the instigator of this matter is the Subterranean World, they will bribe the small and medium sized forest powers to stab us in the back while also setting fire to our backyard in the Purgatory World, attacking our influence in the Purgatory World."
"That's right, these are the things we can think of." Chu Tian also said, "I believe that the underground's Insect Queen has lived this long, the underground spirit insects must be close to various large powers in the forest. There are some moves we can think of, so there are moves we can't think of. So when we can't see the full picture, we have to be careful!"
Everyone had serious expressions.
The Forest Alliance had only been formed not that long ago and the most important time is when it is still newly formed. They were coming across this large challenge and crisis this quickly?
Chapter 566: Showdown on the prairies
No matter who instigated it.
No matter what plots there were.
The urgent matter was to solve the crisis of the three northern kingdoms. The Forest Alliance members couldn't provide much help, especially in terms of soldiers fighting each other. Of the four giants, the only one who had the biggest population and most troops were the Savage Highlands.
Why would the Savage Highlands send out troops for the three kingdoms?
Not to mention the Forest Alliance was newly formed and it was time to create value instead of asking for it. The Savage Highlands were far away from the three kingdoms and Miracle Commerce's transport technology is not strong enough to directly send the troops over. The Savage Highlands did not have a duty or the power to send troops tens of thousands of miles.
Therefore Miracle Commerce had to find a way to save the three kingdoms.
Chu Tian decided to personally take command, "Although Miracle Commerce is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity and battle strength, we have the most advanced weapons on the continent. Even if we can't make up the difference in quantity or quality, we can at least stall the Eagle Burial Kingdom's army. I will think of a way to end this war."
The young miss could not leave.
On one hand, the young miss was not strong enough and on the other hand, the young miss was the brain of Miracle Commerce. Almost everything in Miracle Commerce and Miracle City was set by the young miss. She had the same worries as Chu Tian right now. The Eagle Burial Kingdom was overbearing, but it was just a distraction and Miracle City had to guard against the real strike from the dark.
Meng Qingwu said to Chu Tian, "I have sent a semi-automated group of Berserkers to the Northern Militant beforehand with all kinds of new weapons, so take the chance to run some experiments there. Remember to properly record the data and take pictures of the battlefield to help us improve the weapons. Be careful with everything."
The young miss had personally planned all this, so why would he be worried?
Chu Tian left for the northern front without another world. The Northern Militant Country had been the War Hounds Country, established on the War Hound Plains. There were spirit beast tribes scattered all over these lands. Once the Eagle Burial Kingdom army came in, they were like fish in water, so it was hard to find them.
The Northern Militant Country was the most northern country and it was also the weakest. It was because of these reasons that it was a very important goal for the Eagle Burial Kingdom. Several large cities of the Northern Militant Country had been ransacked and the prairies were filled with chaos. According to reliable sources, there were at least three hundred thousand Eagle Burial Kingdom troops and there were over fifty thousand airborne units.
Three hundred thousand didn't sound like a lot, but it was not little.
This was because this three hundred thousand was just the formal soldiers. With the Eagle Burial Kingdom's population and influence, if they took in the normal tribes, they could gather several millions soldiers. Only, this would just be a motley gathered crew and wouldn't have the sharpness of formal troops. Therefore they sent their formal troops first and like a blade, they cut through the other side's defenses. Then using a sea of soldiers, they began to swallow the land of the other side.
In a simple and crude military tent, the army commanders and high level generals were all discussing military strategies. The leading commander was a fierce looking eagle man. The Eagle Burial Kingdom was named after eagles not to bury eagles, but rather to praise them. It's said that the Eagle Burial Kingdom's royal progenitor was a great ancient era Eagle God. Although he fell in Eagle Burial Kingdom, he had affected his descendants, making the Eagle Burial Kingdom's royal family much stronger than normal tribes.
Eagle Burial was referring to the buried great ancient era Eagle God.
The Eagle Burial Kingdom's eagle clan had an aloof status, especially the royal clan that were proud of the Eagle God.
This leading commander was an Eagle God clansmen. He had a blue face, cinnabar red hair, explosive eyes, sharp fangs poking out his lips, and a pair of wings on his back. He looked like a mix between a human and a bird. His eyes were sharp and fierce, with each feather containing a powerful might.
The difference in normal eagle clansmen and Eagle God clansmen was that Eagle God clansmen could awaken their bloodline power, just like the Great Zhou Queen Chen Bingyu! Once the bloodline power was awakened, not only would it increase their growth speed, it would make their battle strength higher than people of the same level!
"Your highness Dark Eagle King, we have discovered an enemy army gathering on the prairies and they seem to be approaching us." An officer quickly came into the military tent and respectfully gave a spirit beast greeting, "From our reconnaissance, this is an army that we haven't seen before. There aren't many of them, there are just around twenty thousand."
The commanding officer of the Northern Militant war zone was the Dark Eagle King, who was one of the conferred kings of the Eagle Burial Kingdom.
The previously sent Fang King was different from this king. The former was just the manager of a small area and couldn't even be placed on stage in the Eagle Burial Kingdom. The Eagle Burial Kingdom fought with several large and small kingdoms and each country had a vassal like the Fang King.
The Dark Eagle King was one of the five hereditary kings of the Eagle Burial Kingdom!
Whether it was strength, position, or influence, it was not something the previous Fang King could match. In attacking the three kingdoms, the Eagle Burial Kingdom had sent out three Great Eagle Kings, which showed the importance and fear they had in the battle of the three kingdoms.
A high level commander said with a cold laugh, "Only twenty thousand people? Do we need to fear these numbers? This general is willing to take thirty thousand wolf riders to exterminate them all!"
"Don't forget our previous shame!" The Dark Eagle King's eyes were as sharp as blades and those that he looked over didn't dare look up, "Our enemies are not sheep, rather they are a pack of beasts. Send out all nearby patrols and try to find the situation with the other army as soon as possible. It's best if we can capture a few soldiers from the other side to interrogate! Other than that, increase the air alert. As long as any flying beings appear, shoot them down!"
All the officers were a bit startled.
The Dark Eagle King was being this cautious?
There was one hundred and fifty thousand of the Dark Eagle King's personal troops stationed here and they were all elites among elites of the Eagle Burial Kingdom troops. Adding in the various cavalry, infantry, and airborne units, they could easily deal with any kinds of enemies. But now they were being this cautious for just a trivial twenty thousand enemies, was this still one of the Eagle Burial Kingdom's great five Eagle Kings?
The Dark Eagle King's caution was logical, he was one of the few people who knew the truth. He knew that a trivial three kingdom alliance would collapse immediately, but he needed to be wary of the Forest of Chaos behind them. Although the Forest of Chaos had far less troops, they had many more experts in comparison with many of them being top Heaven Domain Experts!
The five Eagle Kings were powerful, but they were still experts of the 9th True Spirit Layer or the peak 9th True Spirit Layer. This kind of strength would collapse from a single blow from a Heaven Domain Expert. If this army was sent by the Forest Alliance, they couldn't guess the enemy's battle power just from their quantity!
The preliminary scouts quickly came back.
This was an army made of ogres and barbarians.
The Dark Eagle King was a bit stunned. Ogres and barbarians were not residents of the prairie, this was clearly a foreign reinforcement army. However, what he couldn't understand was why was it ogres and barbarians? These two races had powerful bodies and endless strength, but they were not races that could train experts!
If this was a battle between normal kingdoms, ogres and barbarians would be enough to sway the battlefield, but the situation was completely different. Whether it was the barbarians or the ogres, their cultivation talent was very low. Just based on brute force, there was a limit to their battle strength, so it was very hard for these races to raise an expert.
Therefore, they established no kingdoms or civilizations on the continent and their statuses were very low. How could this kind of army be the elites of the Forest Alliance? Could it be he really was overthinking it!
At this time, a scout flew in to report, "Your highness Dark Eagle King, that army is quickly charging at us. There will be contact in just an hour."
"What?"
"Absurd!"
Everyone's faces changed hearing this. This little army without any force actually dared to charge at the Eagle Burial Kingdom's main forces, was there any difference from seeking death? This was simply an insult to the might of their Eagle Burial Kingdom!
Although this matter was strange, the Dark Eagle King couldn't see any reason to avoid fighting, so he gave the orders to meet them!
Dong, dong, dong!
The battle drums sounded out like thunder.
The Eagle Burial Kingdom's army was very efficient. The Dark Eagle King's army had cavalry at its base with cavalry being divided into heavy and light cavalry and ground and air cavalry. The light cavalry were mainly Demon Wolf Cavalry, Swift Dragon Cavalry, Winged Dragon Cavalry, and Goshawk Cavalry. The heavy cavalry was divided into Earth Dragon Cavalry, Kodo Beast Cavalry, and Dual Legged Dragon Cavalry. There was also tens of thousands of heavy infantry that made up the powerful core of their army.
"The enemy has appeared!"
The Eagle Burial Kingdom army had just finished their preparations when the Forest Alliance army had appeared. When the various Eagle Burial Kingdom officers saw the other side, they were stunned. It was just like the report had said, this army was mainly made of orges and barbarians, but they had very strange equipment. This was something never seen before in the various countries of the continent.
Whether it was the ogres or the barbarians, they were covered in a full set of armour. This armour was different from the armour of their soldiers and it looked like it was a flexible layer of metallic skin. It tightly wrapped over 90% of their body from head to toe and there was a bright Source Energy Battery on their back, currently supplying power to the set of armour.
It was very difficult to mass produce these items with the continent's current technological level.
The equipment of this army was even more complex, they had various unknown pieces of equipment all over them. There were thick shields on their arms, energy swords or guns hanging from their belts, and etc.
This army of over twenty thousand were in square formations and each formation was protecting several Battle Cars. These Battle Cars were releasing blue light as they slowly moved forward. The large gun barrel and the rows of missiles gave off a dangerous aura.
Chapter 567: Showdown
A strange looking army!
This was the first feeling the Dark Eagle Army's officers had.
Miracle City's army advanced forward, but they didn't make any sounds at all. They didn't have war drums, bugles, or signal flags. There was no transmission of orders through the army, but they kept moving forward at a quick and steady pace.
Not to mention bumpkins from the Eagle Burial Kingdom, even the most erudite scholars of the continent wouldn't be able to understand this.
But if one had enough understanding of Miracle City, they would know that this was not a difficult matter for Miracle City because each soldier's helmet had a transmission device. The airborne units could directly send orders to the soldiers and each group had a mobile command unit, where only the commanders could use the communication channel.
From the whole, to the unit, to the individuals, there were three channels controlling them. It basically guaranteed that the Miracle City soldiers perfectly followed their orders.
Quickly, rapidly, and timely.
No matter what change occurred on the battlefield, every soldiers would be able to receive the situation. Any fragile strategy under this kind of quick communication lost all value, so it all depended on pure force!
The Dark Eagle Army still found something off.
For an army, especially one that was attacking, the vanguard was the most important elite troops. It had to have enough impact and penetrative might.
A sword that wasn't sharp enough, how could it pierce through its target?
With the same logic, if an army's point wasn't sharp enough, how could it break through the formation of the enemies?
If the first round didn't have enough shock, the following battle formation would be greatly weakened!
Miracle City's army's vanguard were a few rows of small teams, with each team having one ogre and four barbarians. The ogres had a special giant shield in one hand with a large Source Energy Cannon in the other pointing forward. The barbarians were all armed with destructive heavy firearms and were standing behind the ogres.
This equipment looked dumb and heavy, how could it be used as a vanguard?
The Dark Eagle King wasn't negligent at all!
The Dark Demon King understood the situation more than anyone, he even knew of the battle of the Southern Summer Country's Four State Lakes. He also knew that these humans had some kind of weapons, so why would they fight hand to hand if they had these weapons?
Not to mention that based on the movements of the soldiers, Miracle City's Berserker Army were all well trained. This kind of dangerous aura was not something a motley crew could give off!
"Something is strange!" The Dark Demon King gave an order to a general behind him, "Bring the wolf cavalry vanguard and try to attack from the left. See how strong they are!"
"Understood!"
This general was a renowned Eagle Burial Kingdom senior general, even having a higher position than the previous Fang King. An experienced general wouldn't miss the dangerous aura, so he didn't question the Dark Eagle King's cautious methods at all.
The black giant wolf cavalry army flew out like an arrow.
The Demon Wolf Cavalry was the most common cavalry of the Eagle Burial Kingdom, but the Dark Eagle Army's Demon Wolf Cavalry was different. These Demon Wolves were all level two demon beasts. They could charge out at the speed of sound and no one could catch them with their mobility.
With an order!
The ten thousand Demon Wolves were like a wave of locusts, separating from the army. They charged quickly without a sound, just like shears cutting across the grass of the prairies!
Fast!
Too fast!
This army quickly headed to the back left of the army and their goal was to scatter the enemy's formation. As long as there was chaos with the Forest Alliance army, giving the Dark Eagle King a chance, his army would charge forward and defeat them without caring what kind of mysteries they had!
Naturally the Berserker army wasn't blind.
When these swift and dangerous wolf cavalry moved, the Berserker army also received their orders. There was no chaos with their ranks as they just charged faster at the Eagle Burial Kingdom army, as if they completely ignored the attack of the wolf cavalry.
This was because they didn't need to divert their attention for this fly!
The cannon barrels at the center of each square turned as wild energy began to gather.
Hong, hong, hong!
Several energy shells instantly fired!
When the wolf cavalry were about to hit, the energy cannons created heavy casualties among them and the entire formation fell into chaos.
The Dark Eagle King's face fell.
The Eagle Burial Kingdom already had some information, especially on the dazzling performance of the Source Energy Cannons. They never thought that in less than a year, Miracle Commerce's Source Energy Cannons had already improved this much.
Not only did the firing range and might increase by several times, they were now Battle Cars!
It was no wonder they attacked with this kind of formation. Just with the powerful might of the Source Energy Cannons, it was not something a vanguard could match, so Miracle City's army didn't need a strong vanguard at all. Now matter how strong the enemy's defenses were, how many times could they withstand this kind of bombardment?
The Dark Eagle King angrily roared out, "Sound the drums, full force attack!"
The Eagle Burial Kingdom's war drums clearly sounded out ten times and each sound seemed to be attacking one's heart. The war drums were made of high level demon beast pelt, therefore it had a spiritual frightening effect. When several hundred drums rang out, it rang through the air and roared into the heavens.
"Wu!"
Several long dragon bone bugles rang out, instantly shaking up the air. The Earth Dragon army and Kodo Beast army all charged out at the Miracle City army.
The Dark Eagle King was very clear that it was best to charge head on with this kind of army. Although their weapons were strong, there were still limits to them. Once both sides were fighting in close range, no matter how strong the cannons were or how fierce the guns were, how much use would they be?
But was it easy to approach?
Several dozen Source Energy Cannons fired at the same time!
The beautiful and dazzling energy cannons created large holes in the ground and each hole that appeared was the disappearance of several hundred soldiers. Miracle Commerce's Source Energy Cannons were already using the second generation energy. This kind of equipment being used on the Battle Cars were restricted, so they weren't as strong, but they were still able to kill experts in the 5th-6th True Spirit Layer.
Even if this was the elite army of the Eagle Burial Kingdom, how many of them were in the 5th-6th True Spirit Layer?
When the Dark Eagle King saw the terrifying might of the Source Energy Cannons, seeing the elite soldiers of the Eagle Burial Kingdom disappear under beams of light, his eyes almost sent out flames, "Charge, everyone charge! These weapons can only attack from range, it'll be our world once we get close!"
The Eagle Burial Kingdom army was very brave. Even in this kind of situation, they charged into the cannon fire. Now they were very close to the Miracle City army.
The timing was right!
The airborne units were sent out!
The Eagle Burial Kingdom was rich in airborne units, having very agile eagle warriors and powerful Dual Legged Dragon Cavalry. They were like a dark cloud as they flew over Miracle City's army.
Miracle City's Source Energy Cannons were very powerful, but their disadvantages were very clear. They were more suited for siege fighting, which meant dealing with stationary targets, so they're very suited to being placed in large scale battles. But once they met airborne targets or targets that were very close, the Source Energy Cannons would lose their effectiveness.
"Kill, kill!"
Most of the Eagle Burial Kingdom soldiers were Awakened Soul Cultivators, so they were currently releasing their source spirits. All kinds of power began to fly out at the Miracle City army.
When Miracle City was faced with the attack of the visibly bigger army, they weren't scared at all. The front row ogres raised their shields at the same time and something that stunned the Eagle Burial Kingdom soldiers occurred. Light was released from the shields of these ogres and this light came together, instantly forming an incomparably large barrier!
Hong, hong, hong!
The attacks of the Eagle Burial Kingdom soldiers landed on this giant barrier, with most of them dissipating and some of the more powerful attacks leaving marks on the barrier.
The second row, the third row! Miracle City's army released three layers of large scale energy shields!
What was going on here?
The Eagle Burial Kingdom generals were stunned. Barriers weren't rare on battlefields, but most barriers were very troublesome to set up, so they were mostly used for defending cities or strongholds. For this kind of mobile defensive barrier, it was something rarely seen!
"Airborne units! Circle around!"
Although Miracle City's barrier was very strong, it did not cover all around them. The Eagle Burial Kingdom airborne units crossed over the barriers to attack.
Who would have thought that at this time, the soldiers would raise their arm guards and release a layer of light. They blocked most of the Eagle Burial Kingdom's attacks.
Other than the giant barrier.
Each soldier had a portable barrier?
This time even the Dark Eagle King was shocked, he even suspected that he was in a nightmare. Even the richest family on the continent only gave each soldier a defensive talisman. The defenses of these talismans were very limited and they had to be used with Symbol Techniques.
This scene had never been seen before.
Each soldier had their own protective barrier that they could turn on and off at will. It was quick, convenient, and most importantly, the defenses were very strong!
The Dark Eagle Army did not have time to give any more orders before Miracle City's army attacked. Several thousand heavy firearms opened fire, instantly filling the sky with light, creating a wild storm of energy bullets. Those Dual Legged Dragons with powerful bodies had now been turned into living targets!
Hong, hong, hong!
The portable Source Energy Cannons were also fired!
Giant beasts were blown up one after the other!
Although they had the absolute advantage in terms of numbers, the Dark Eagle Army encountered an one sided slaughter. They couldn't break through the firm defenses, being routed outside the formation, undergoing the wild baptism of the cannon fire!
Chapter 568: Chu Tian's strength
Whether it was from the front, from the air, or from behind, the Dark Eagle army couldn't cause chaos in the Miracle City army formation at all. Miracle City's army was methodical as the cannon fire swept over the Dark Eagle Army. How was this a battle? This was simply a mix of metal and flesh being thrown into a giant meat grinder. The people who died under the Source Energy Cannons didn't even leave behind a complete corpse.
This was not a fight quantity could win!
Even if the Dark Eagle army was stronger, they couldn't resist Miracle Commerce's carefully developed weapons. Their progress was stopped by the energy shields that was like an iron barrier. Under the fierce and powerful Source Energy Weapons, the fine equipment, the decent cultivation, and the powerful demon beast mounts were all as frail as paper.
A fortress!
This was a hard to shake fortress!
The Dark Eagle King couldn't calm down at all, "Charge! Charge!"
The remaining soldiers of the Dark Eagle Army flowed out like flood gates suddenly opening. Although the Miracle City's army's defenses were very strong, even the strongest defenses had their limits. With this kind of wild attack, they didn't believe they couldn't break through a single layer of defenses!
The battle had already reached an intense stage.
Miracle City's Berserker army was built with large amounts of money. Along with the shields made from the energy shield technology, the weapons made from the energy weapon technology, the source energy cannons inside the Battle Cars, and etc., each soldier was wearing the newest Battle Mech Suit made by Miracle Commerce.
The Mech Suits had a simple control system that connected the portable weapon and communication system. It could be considered this era's most advanced communication system.
A clear situation was known even on this chaotic battlefield, allowing them to accurately attack and defend. How could something this watertight be easily broken?
Several Battle Cars suddenly opened their launchers.
Several hundred missiles charged into the air, creating a beautiful path as they wildly bombarded the army around the Dark Eagle King. Some of these missiles were intercepted by the airborne units of the Dark Eagle Army, while some fell onto the ground. Each missile released a powerful light and heat and each attack took the lives of several hundred Dark Eagle army soldiers.
The Dark Eagle King's face had already turned ashen. Although with his cultivation, he could dodge the center of these explosions and the shockwaves couldn't hurt him, the explosions around him surrounded him in flames and dust, making him unable to see a thing.
"This is bad!"
"Guards up, guards up!"
The Dark Eagle King felt a dangerous aura, so he immediately roared out. The Dark Eagle King's guards gathered hearing this. Each of his personal guards were all experts around the 7th Awakened Soul Layer and there were around two thousand of them, which was enough to resist the attack of any True Spirit Cultivator.
However at this time, a figure appeared from the dust.
This person didn't have any flashy clothes, just wearing a white robe without any dusts. He seemed like he didn't care where he was as he swaggered over to where the Dark Eagle King was.
"Protect his highness Dark Eagle King!"
A Dark Eagle personal guard jumped through the air with an angry roar. He was a valiant and powerful eagle race warrior and with a flap of his wings, he dashed through the air, appearing in front of Chu Tian with several sparkles. His very sharp claws ripped through the air and created ten powerful energy streaks.
With this claw.
Even a powerful Earth Dragon's body would be ripped to several pieces on the spot!
The personal guard captain was shocked to find that this human slowly walked forward, completely ignoring this attack. When the ten fierce claw glows landed on his body without any interference, it passed through him completely.
This was not the feeling of ripping through flesh!
This was the feeling of slashing through air!
The personal guard captain had not come back to his senses when Chu Tian arrived beside him. Without using any spirit energy or cultivation techniques, he simply sent out a punch. This punch was incredibly fast as the personal guard captain flew through the air, shattering to several pieces when he couldn't withstand this power!
One punch!
Just a casual punch!
It was enough to shatter a peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer expert to pieces!
This human didn't use any cultivation technique or spirit energy, it was just a normal fist. This strange sight stunned everyone, including the Dark Eagle King.
"Kill him!"
Several hundred Dark Eagle personal guards charged forward to attack.
Whether it was a blade, a spear, a sword, or a pole. Whether it was ice, fire, water, or earth. Whether it was a physical attack or an elemental attack, as long as it fell onto Chu Tian, not a single one had an effect as it phased through him.
Chu Tian didn't care about these people as he passed through them at a calm speed. His goal was very clear, it was the Dark Eagle King being protected in the center.
"Just what is he?"
"Why won't the attacks hit him?"
These personal guards were elites chosen out of a thousand and each person had been strictly trained. Even if they faced a powerful enemy, they wouldn't panic and would charge forward without any hesitation. Now that they were facing this slowly walking Chu Tian, they were shaken and hesitant.
Chu Tian was like a spirit that couldn't be attacked. Whether it was energy attacks or normal attacks, they had no effects at all. If they hadn't seen him defeat the captain with a single punch, people would have suspected him of being an illusion!
In less than a minute.
Chu Tian had arrived not far away in front of the Dark Eagle King. The two elite personal guard captains on the left and right attacked without any fear of death and Chu Tian didn't have any emotions as he moved forward another step, causing their swords to pass through him. The sharp and powerful sword qi kept moving forward, six Dark Eagle personal guards were cut in half.
It was still no use!
The two captains didn't have time to react as a hand was placed on their chest. That hand was carved like jade and it was simply smoother than that of a woman's, but the muscle was carved like that of a elf. It could be considered the perfect harmony between power and beauty.
They had never seen such a perfect pair of arms before!
This was the last thought in their minds because the instant the two captains had this thought, Chu Tian's eyes turned red to symbolize the wild strength. Those perfect arms that seemed like they were chiseled out of stone suddenly had their veins pop out as a pure power came from every part of his body. Every bone and every muscle's power came to his shoulder, arms, wrist, and finally his palms.
"Peng!"
The two captains flew out like shells shot out a cannon, instantly flying out over a hundred meters and hitting several guards. With that pure and terrifying strength, their flesh, armour, and weapons were all squished together, turning into a mess that was hard to differentiate.
Chu Tian's eyes returned to normal and like slapping down two flies, he took four-five steps to arrive in front of the Dark Eagle King. Although the Dark Eagle King was more than two heads higher than him, Chu Tian seemed like he was looking down on him.
"Who disclosed the information to you!"
When the Dark Eagle King looked at this young human, he was covered in a cold sweat.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The surrounding guards saw the Dark Eagle King was confronting this dangerous human, so they all charged forward like moths to the flame. There were many Dark Eagle guards and they were all experts who weren't weak, so with all these people together, there was a chance they could break Chu Tian's Void Escaping.
But even if they could break the Void Escaping, would they have a chance to kill Chu Tian?
Chu Tian's body was different from before. Chu Tian still had his Starlight Immortal Body and his spatial movement skills, so it was useless even if these people had the numbers advantage, they would all be sending themselves to death. However, Chu Tian didn't have the mind to sweep through these trash, so he decided to take care of it at once.
Spiritual energy explosion!
Chu Tian's spiritual energy exploded out into the sky, this was the spiritual attack he had learned in the Demon Ants Valley. Chu Tian's Divine Sense was much stronger compared to before, so his spiritual energy explosion was also much stronger, covering a larger distance.
The Dark Eagle guards heard a large explosion in their heads that was like a bomb detonating, blowing up all the thoughts they had. They were like puppets with their strings cut as their stiff bodies fell all over the ground.
Other than shock, there was still only shock!
This human's power had already completely surpassed his imaginations!
He actually used spiritual energy to instantly take care of all the Dark Eagle guards!
Chu Tian didn't even look at the people lying all over the ground as his bright as moon eyes stared right at the Dark Eagle King. There was a chill that came from the depths of his eyes, "I'll ask again, who gave you that information!"
"There is no one who can threaten a brave warrior of the Eagle Burial Kingdom!" After a short period of shock, the Dark Eagle King once again revealed a fierce look, "Die!"
The Dark Eagle King released the power of his source spirit and his wings launched him into the sky, as a long and jet black spear appeared in his hands. He moved very quickly and when Chu Tian looked up, the long cylinder was already in front of him.
Hong!
The long spear flew through space to pierce at the left side of Chu Tian's chest.
The Dark Eagle King was stunned before revealing a happy look. It wasn't that this human couldn't be attacked, it was just that the attacks weren't strong enough. However, his happy expression froze on his face again because his spear couldn't pierce into Chu Tian at all, rather a strong reflective power forced him back several steps.
Chu Tian shook his head, "You made a large mistake!"
The Dark Eagle King said with a cold smile, "Human, do you dare fight me?"
The Dark Eagle King in that instant felt that the human's cultivation was high, but it was only in the 8th True Spirit Layer. It was because of a very strange cultivation technique that his defenses were stronger than he could imagine, but it wasn't like it was unbreakable!
The Dark Eagle King was a formidable expert in the peak 9th True Spirit Layer and he had the Eagle God's bloodline power, so his battle strength was not something normal people could compare to. Why did he need to fear this human?
Chu Tian softly said, "It'll be my loss if you can block a single one of my moves!"
"Overestimating yourself! Then give it a try!"
The Dark Eagle King wanted to charge at the enemy in a fit of rage, but Chu Tian waved his hand through the air and a sharp spatial energy cut through him. The Dark Eagle King's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression froze on his face.
He clearly saw his separated body...
"Phaseless Sword!"
The Dark Eagle King never would have thought that Chu Tian's true killing move would not be an evasive power, a defensive power, or a spiritual power, but rather a space attributed sword art!
Chapter 569: Blood Eagle King
Chu Tian cutting down the Dark Eagle King with one slash also cut the spiritual support of the Dark Eagle army, causing the spirit beast army to crumble under the attacks. Even for the powerfully armed Dark Eagle army, under the might of the Source Energy Cannons and the heavy firearms, their morale crumbled with the killing of their leader and the firepower of the weapons!
Too weak.
This kind of battle was just too boring!
Chu Tian took out a communication device to give an order, "Everyone attack!"
The Dark Eagle army was clearly being routed, so the Berserker army drew out their weapons once they receive the orders to charge. Large energy swords and axes appeared in their hands as twenty thousand Berserkers went berserk at once!
How magnificent and terrifying of a scene was this?
The Berserkers' killing intent erupted, making people like there was a volcano erupting!
Almost at the same time, the large shields disappeared layer by layer, giving the Dark Eagle army a new trace of hope. This was because they were faced with an incredibly good opportunity right now. Over half of the Dark Eagle army was destroyed, but they still had the superiority in terms of numbers. In a desperate situation, there was no chance of winning if they didn't counterattack!
Only, the Berserkers gradually raised a shocking killing intent that completely discouraged them. After being dazed for a couple of seconds, large explosive sounds of engines turning on came from the various formations of the Miracle City army.
Several dozen Battle Cars floated into the air as blue flames came out their tails, just like they were being blown up by the wind. Each Battle Car had a layer of energy shield around them and countless energy blades came out the four sides, making them seem like giant floating spiders.
These energy blades began to rotate at high speeds. They not only stayed balanced, they also formed a sharp and compact disk. A powerful energy erupted from the engine and several Battle Cars charged into the other army. It was as easy as cutting down grass as they instantly carved a blood soaked path through the Dark Eagle army!
Slaughtering machines!
These were purely slaughtering machines!
Several "Reaper" battle Cars quickly took lives while the Berserkers went completely berserk. Once the Berserkers went berserk, not only did their brute force increase by over ten times, they also lost the ability to feel fear, they wouldn't feel pain, and they would be filled with endless battle intent.
The Black Eagle army finally experienced the true power of the Berserker army!
This terrifying army could not only fight in a methodical manner, they could also be wild slaughters like a pack of mad cows!
The Berserkers themselves were very powerful already, not to mention that each Berserker was wearing the newest Mech Suit developed from Miracle City. Each Mech Suit had shields and energy weapons, as well as all kinds of medicines and healing arrays. They multiplied each Berserker's power by over a hundred times!
An ogre charged out with red eyes.
Whether it was the fiercely attacking Dark Eagle soldiers or a hidden arrow shot from the distance, the Mech Suit's shields blocked them all, not causing any damage to the ogre. The ogre just raised his weapon and kept attacking.
This was a weapon that had a suitable length for an ogre and it was like an incomparably large and thick metal rod. However, when the ogre pressed a button on it, two giant energy blades would appear on the metal rod and turn the incomparably large metal rod into a double bladed energy axe!
"Roar!"
The ogre wildly roared as he swept his axe through everyone around him. This high energy axe was an incredible sharp weapon, cutting through the protective spirit energy and armour of the Dark Eagle soldiers like cutting through vegetables!
The other Berserkers wildly charged forward like wolves jumping onto sheep.
The Dark Eagle army's low morales completely collapsed from this charge. Although they had the advantage in numbers, their battle strength couldn't compare at all, so it was an one sided slaughter.
This was not a motley gathered crew!
This was the main troops of one of the Eagle Burial Kingdom's Five Eagle Kings!
They were completely routed in this short period of time, as the soldiers ran wailing as they were chased by the Berserkers. Their corpses were already scattered all over the prairie. A battle that had reached this point had no meaning in being fought.
Chu Tian shook his head and took out a scroll.
With a shua sound!
Chu Tian appeared in the Northern Militan Country's transport point with a flash of light. The Northern Militant Country's representative Luz quickly came over and his face was covered in awe, "Sir City Lord, we have already recorded the entire battle."
This recording was made at Meng Qingwu's request.
This army of twenty thousand was Miracle Commerce's first advanced equipped army, so the data of their first fight was especially important. Not only would this give them data to aid their future research, it could also be used as material for promotional films. It was impossible for Miracle Commerce's firearms to not sell well in the future!
The issue Chu Tian was worried about was not this.
The Dark Eagle King did not disclose any valuable information so he didn't have the methods to investigate their entire plan. Chu Tian had just received news that the Subterranean World had already united some of the Purgatory World's powers and were currently sending a punitive expedition on Chu Tian in the eastern region. It was natural considering the fact that surface world races were occupying territory and resources in the Purgatory World.
The four giants couldn't sit by and watch even if they wanted to.
This was because they all had a part of the Purgatory World!
The Purgatory World resources were very unique and many of them couldn't be found on the surface world. If the Purgatory World was taken away, when would they find such a good place in the future? Therefore, the four giants personally led experts of their clans and used the Transport Tower to aid the battle in the Purgatory World.
Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu felt Miracle City should remain passive.
The Subterranean World could attack the Purgatory World or they could attack the surface world. If the four giants lost sight of one, it would be very hard to return safely. The most important thing was that Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu had their doubts. This plan against Miracle City was very thorough, so other than the problems they had already encountered, there were other hidden moves not used yet.
What would be these hidden moves?
No matter what they were, Chu Tian was fighting the Eagle Burial Kingdom in the three kingdoms while the four giants were guarding the Purgatory World, resisting the attack of the other cities. The young miss had to be on guard against a large scale invasion by the Subterranean World. It could be said that the Forest Alliance's attention was being completely spread.
If there was another strong enough power that came, the Forest Alliance would be facing an unprecedented large crisis!
"Sir City Lord, there is news from the Great Zhou Country!"
"What is it?"
"The Blood Eagle King that leads the Five Eagle Kings has led five hundred thousand Blood Eagle troops to invade the Great Zhou Country. If we add in the previous army that attacked the Great Zhou Country, there are around eight hundred thousand Eagle Burial Kingdom troops in the Great Zhou Country. They are already at an imminent crisis!"
"I understand." Chu Tian was a bit surprised, but he immediately took out the communication device, "Young miss, how much information do we have on the Blood Eagle King?"
"We have been gathering information on the Eagle Burial Kingdom's Five Eagle Kings since the war began. We have prepared information on the other four kings, but we're very unclear on this Blood Eagle King." The young miss said to Chu Tian through the communication device, "The Blood Eagle King is the head of the Five Eagle Kings and also the younger brother of the Eagle Burial Kingdom's ruler. He was in the peak 9th True Spirit Layer ten years ago and has been in secluded cultivation the entire time, so no one knows his real power."
Chu Tian pondered this before suddenly having an idea, "Duplicate the battle recording, send one copy to the young miss and leave one for me."
With Miracle Commerce's current technology, it was very easy to duplicate recordings.
Chu Tian obtained the recording after several minutes and instantly used the Transport Tower to head to the Great Zhou Country's Imperial City. The Great Zhou Country's Imperial City was placed close to the Death Ice Field. This city had just been constructed for about a month, but it was filled with people.
Chen Bingyu was the Great Zhou Queen and Miracle Commerce's spokesperson, so anything good from Miracle Commerce would all be sent to the Imperial City. The Great Zhou Queen's status couldn't compare to before. Those sects that placed no one in their eyes all lowered themselves towards the Great Zhou Queen to get closer to Miracle Commerce. It could be imagined what status the Great Zhou Queen had in the Great Zhou Country.
Chu Tian hadn't seen the great beauty Chen Bingyu in several months.
He almost didn't recognize her when he saw her!
Chen Bingyu's bloodline awakening degree became higher and higher, passing the generations of her father and ancestor. Her hair was now completely silver white and she had a noble aloofness to her, making her a natural queen.
"Great beauty Chen's beauty is even more moving now!" Chu Tian studied Chen Bingyu for a while before speaking in surprise, "Yi, your cultivation has reached the 8th True Spirit Layer?"
"Sir City Lord still remembers me?" Chen Bingyu glared at him, "I thought that you had long forgotten about me!"
Actually after the Imperial City Transport Tower was constructed, Chen Bingyu had gone to Miracle City many times. Only she could never see Chu Tian when she went, so she had some grievances in her heart.
"How could that be? Perhaps my memory isn't good, but I remember a great beauty very clearly. I've just been too busy recently." Chu Tian smiled as he apologized, but then his smile disappeared, "Let's talk about the Great Zhou Country's situation first!"
Chen Bingyu revealed a map, "The Eagle Burial Kingdom attacked the three kingdom alliance, with the Great Zhou Country and Northern Militant Country bearing the brunt of it. The Great Summer Country does not have a direct border with the Eagle Burial Kingdom, so they were the least affected by this war. Of the Great Zhou Country and Northern Militant Country, the Great Zhou Country is stronger, so as long as the Great Zhou Country was conquered, half of the three kingdom alliance's power would have fallen. Therefore, the Eagle Burial Kingdom have sent their main forces to attack the Great Zhou Country."
Chu Tian nodded, "The Great Zhou Country is an established large kingdom and an important member of the three kingdom alliance, we must find a way to hold the Great Zhou Country. Otherwise once the Great Zhou Country is heavily injured, our kingdoms alliance will fall."
Chen Bingyu asked, "What plans do you have?"
"I have some, but it's unknown if they will work. We might as well give it a try!"
Chapter 570: Spilling the beans
Although Miracle Commerce was very big, it was limited by time and productivity, they could only produce one mechanical army like in the Northern Militant Country. The Eagle Burial Kingdom were rich in troops and their army were developed all around. No matter how strong an army of twenty thousand was, they couldn't deal with this kind of situation no matter what.
Out of Great Zhou, Great Summer, and Northern Militant, only the Great Zhou Country could put up a fight. The Great Zhou Country was a sect based country, so the various sect juniors were placed into different sections and there was no military management. Whether it was quality, battle power, or experience, they could not compare to the Eagle Burial Kingdom.
Chu Tian had defeated the Eagle Burial Kingdom's vanguard in the Northern Militant Country and now he had to face this problem in the Great Zhou Country. Compared to the easy battle in the Northern Militant Country, the Eagle Burial Kingdom troops in the Great Zhou Country were much stronger. Miracle Commerce didn't have a way to deal with this invasion, so fighting head on was not an intelligent move!
The Blood Eagle King was the head of the Eagle Burial Kingdom's Five Eagle Kings and was the Eagle Ruler's little brother. He had a high position and was very powerful, having a very lofty position in the Eagle Burial Kingdom. He was someone who rule over millions of people with his status.
"Your highness Blood Eagle King, a human who is the Forest Alliance's messenger is here for an audience!"
"Audience?" The Blood Eagle King was a big and tall old spirit beast. His eyebrows were white as they hung over his eyes and his nose was curved. Although he looked quite old, that didn't affect his power at all and instead made people feel like he was even sharper, "They actually dare come here. Are they tired of living?"
The personal guard respectfully held out a scroll, "That human said that this was for your highness to look at. He said that as long as you look over this, you will definitely see him."
"Humph, then I want to take a look at what kind of thing he brought!"
The Blood Eagle King spread the scroll in front of him and his eyes that weren't very big suddenly focused because after he opened the scroll, there was actually a moving picture inside of it. It was a clear recording of a battle between two armies.
One side was the Eagle Burial Kingdom's Dark Eagle army and the other was a strange army that had never been seen before. From when both sides made contact to when they began to fight, the scene was recorded with incomparable clarity. Although there was no sound, people could feel the intensity and tragedy coming from the scroll!
The Dark Eagle suffered heavy casualties from the beginning and finally they didn't even have the strength to fight back. It was a tragic loss!
The Dark Eagle army was one of the most elite armies of the Eagle Burial Kingdom, even the most common wolf cavalry was riding an expensive level two Demon Wolf. This kind of army filled with experts was actually beaten this tragically.
This scroll had been accelerated and parts of it had been cut, but the Blood Eagle King could tell various things about the battlefield from it. After around an hour since the battle began, the entire plains were filled with the corpses of the Dark Eagle army. Miracle Commerce's casualties were not even worth mentioning.
"Humph!"
The Blood Eagle King had a dark look. Although he had not heard of the situation with the Northern Militant Country, he could tell from his instincts that this was real. Only information hadn't even been sent yet and the human gave him this kind of thing, was it to demonstrate something?
"Arrogant! Bring him over for me!"
Chu Tian was led into the military tent by eight personal guards.
The Blood Eagle King looked at Chu Tian and instantly his eyes focused on him, "It's you!"
Although the image had been shot from different angles, there were some that were close to Chu Tian's location. With the Blood Eagle King's eyes, he could clearly identify him.
Bold!
Truly bold!
This human had slaughtered one of the most important armies of the Eagle Burial Kingdom, the Dark Eagle army and he still dared to head into the main headquarters of the Blood Eagle army. Could it be he didn't know the Blood Eagle army was several times stronger than the Dark Eagle army? Not to mention that this was a trivial human. Even if he brought the army from the recording, the Blood Eagle King would not be afraid!
Chu Tian acted like he knew nothing and raised his hands to give a greeting as he said, "This one is Miracle City's City Lord, Miracle Commerce's chairman, and the Forest Alliance's council chairman, I greet the Blood Eagle King!"
The Blood Eagle King's eyes narrowed.
Chu Tian? He had heard this name before. The Southern Summer Country back then didn't fall because this Chu Tian had turned the tide in the most critical moment. Who would have thought that in just a short year, this unknown human from the Southern Summer Country would become someone who could charge into an army to kill the Dark Eagle King.
He looked like he was very confident.
However, he had to have some kind of backing for that confidence!
Since this human dared to come alone, he most likely had the ability to retreat. Where did his confidence come from?
The Blood Eagle King calmed down a bit, "You know that you have a deep grudge with the Eagle Burial Kingdom and it wouldn't even be enough for this king to kill you a hundred times. I'm really curious, where did you get the courage to come here?"
"The Eagle Burial Kingdom is on the brink of destruction." Chu Tian had a calm look as he said, "I am here to help the Eagle Burial Kingdom come back from that cliff!"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
"What a joke, a real funny joke!"
"Could it be this human is a lunatic? Coming here to talk this nonsense, drag him out and behead him!"
The Blood Eagle King's subordinates broke out in wild laughter. Of course they didn't know what happened in the War Hound Plains and they didn't know that this human youth they were laughing at had personally killed the awe inspiring Dark Eagle King. At the same time, he had slaughtered the hundreds of thousands of soldiers that were the main forces for the Dark Eagle army!
Otherwise, how could they dare speak to Chu Tian like this?
Chu Tian calmly said, "The Eagle Burial Kingdom is on the brink of destruction, do you not care at all?"
"The Eagle Burial Kingdom is at its peak, expanding our influence in just several years!" The Blood Eagle King was not in a rush to attack Chu Tian, "Tell me what gives you your analysis that we're on the brink of destruction."
"The Eagle Burial Kingdom has been attacking in all directions for many years, creating grudges with many kingdoms. The Eagle Burial Kingdom is at its peak, so many countries doesn't dare make a move, but once the Eagle Burial Kingdom is heavily injured, there only needs to be a summon from a large power to make those various countries gather together! Engaging in wanton warfare, this is one!"
"The Eagle Burial Kingdom has more cities, increased population, and more wealth, but you don't know you are laying the seeds of destruction. The Eagle Burial Kingdom has increased their territory and their population by several times, but there are conquered people among them who have grudges against the Eagle Burial Kingdom. They will be oppressed over a long period of time until they are forced into an armed rebellion! Excessive cruelty, that is two!"
Chu Tian said this and the Eagle Burial Kingdom generals revealed looks of rage.
"The Eagle Burial Kingdom has won all their battles in the recent years and the entire country is filled with arrogance, thinking that they can sweep through all obstacles and not placing anyone in their eyes. They do not know the space that the Eagle Burial Kingdom can occupy is limited and they are gradually inflating like a balloon. As long as there is any outer force, it will be quickly destroyed. Blind arrogance, that is three."
"The Eagle Burial Kingdom has chased after becoming an empire for many years, but they only choose the path of war and not the path of diplomacy. Everyone knows empires are limited on the continent and the Eagle Burial Kingdom will eventually be suppressed by an empire. Can the Eagle Burial Kingdom fight an empire? Diplomatic incompetence, that is four!"
"Enough!"
An Eagle Burial Kingdom general angrily stood up and prepared to charge at Chu Tian.
Spiritual cut!
That Eagle Burial Kingdom general felt his body tremble before he couldn't control it at all and he fell right to the floor. His face was filled with panic and he felt that he couldn't control his cultivation at all.
Chu Tian only gave the general a casual glance before he kept saying, "The Eagle Burial Kingdom's Eagle Ruler seeks success, not differentiating between right and wrong and not giving credit where it is due, not building a solid foundations. He hasn't had the Blood Eagle King lead the troops and instead built up four Eagle Kings to control you all. Without the style of a king, how could one be a ruler? Overly suspicious, that is five!"
This final reason stunned all the Blood Eagle King's generals.
How could this fellow know the situation with the Eagle Burial Kingdom? The Blood Eagle King indeed hadn't led armies in a long time. Perhaps because the Blood Eagle King was too famous, the Eagle Ruler feared him a bit.
The Blood Eagle King knit his two white brows. He could tell that Chu Tian's words were extraordinary and he was very good at arguing, but these words didn't have a reason, "How is the Eagle Burial Kingdom's situation related to the Great Zhou Country? I can easily destroy the Great Zhou Country!"
"That's not certain. The Eagle Burial Kingdom has a 50% chance and the three kingdom alliance has a 50% chance!"
"50%? Where did this 50% come from?"
Chu Tian took a step forward, "The three kingdom alliance is supported by the Forest Alliance. The powerful Forest Alliance is behind them and there are four powers that aren't inferior to warring kingdoms, with many Heaven Domain Experts. A powerful backing, that is one!"
"The three kingdoms alliance are powers that are directly under Miracle Commerce, so Miracle Commerce will spare no price in protecting them. We have the most advanced technology on the continent and the most terrifying weapons. We can instantly flatten a city with our power and our armies can sweep over the continent. Powerful military force, that is two."
The Blood Eagle King tightly knit his brows.
The Forest of Chaos had really formed an alliance?
As for Miracle Commerce's weapons, that had already been displayed in the scroll.
"With the three kingdoms alliance as the defender and the Eagle Burial Kingdom as the attacker, the Eagle Burial Kingdom has swept over countless countries and created many blood debts. If the three kingdoms alliance resist the Eagle Burial Kingdom and raises the flag, countless countries that have fought with the Eagle Burial Kingdom and countries destroyed by the Eagle Burial Kingdom will rush to help us. Powerful moral, that is three!"
"Miracle Commerce is already one of the top companies on the continent and the Forest of Chaos powers have been in the forest for tens of thousands of years. We have enough resources, food, and supplies to last a long battle! The Eagle Burial Kingdom lives off fighting. The spirit beasts do not understand agriculture and farming, so your supplies are weak. Once there is a long battle, you'll naturally crumble. A difference in backing, that is four!"
"The three kingdoms alliance cannot retreat, cannot evade, and will fight to the death. This will be a fight they devote themselves and will resist the Eagle Burial Kingdom with all their might. Firm determination, that is five!"
After Chu Tian said this.
Everyone was stunned.
"I admit that your mouth is quite glib, but a glib mouth cannot change the situation of the Forest Alliance. I think the Spider Queen has already begun to resist the Forest Alliance as the representative of the underground powers."
"Ha, ha, ha!" Chu Tian's heart was stirred. It really was the Subterranean World playing tricks, but he still broke out in laughter, "Just a few spiders playing tricks underground. The four giants of the Forest Alliance can easily suppress them."
"The underground powers can't eliminate them? Then the Western Sea….." The Blood Eagle King suddenly closed his mouth as his face turned green and he jumped up, "Don't let him escape! Kill him!"
Chu Tian revealed a look of understanding!
The western Sea Race! It was the western Sea Race!
The Eagle Burial Kingdom and the Subterranean World, if they wanted to fight the Forest Alliance and completely destroy it, they had to have a stronger power behind them. The Forest of Chaos was linked to the sea to the west!
The famous West Seac City could compare to Titan City or Dragon City, but the Sea Race didn't fight in the forest so most people unconsciously forgot about them.
With a slip of the mouth from the Blood Eagle King, Chu Tian could guess how this plan came to be!
