War of Expansion (11)
Luochuan Pass, a black fortress nestled between two high mountains, evokes a sense of impregnability, as if one man could hold off ten thousand.
Before the pass lies Desolation and vast plain, a large Gobi desert region rich in various Spirit Items of the metal and Earth Attributes, with abundant Mineral Deposits and resources.
Sixty years ago, Cold Tide War, Luochuan Sect signed an agreement with Iron Lion Ridge, in which the latter ceded five thousand li of territory, including half of the Gobi Desert.
Now, with another Cold Tide hitting, the two sides are once again engaged in fierce fighting on the Gobi Desert, a battle several times more intense than the one in Blackblood City.
On the Human Race side, 200,000 cultivators were stationed in various locations Luochuan Pass, facing off against the vast Foreign Races Army in front of them.
From time to time, Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivators from both sides would engage in combat, and the morale of the victorious army would be greatly boosted.
This time, it was the turn of Blood Wolf King, the lord of White Wolf Mound, to make his move.
It is Demon Beast in the Middle Golden Core, yet its combat power is comparable to that of Golden Core Great Perfection. There are even rumors that the Blood Wolf King actually possesses the strength of Nascent Soul, but this has never been confirmed.
The crimson divine wolf stood proudly in the Firmament, its eyes looking down at Luochuan Pass, waiting for the Human Race to come out and fight.
On the city wall, hundreds of Human Race Golden Core cultivators looked at each other, none of them intending to make a move.
In a chaotic battle a few days ago, the Blood Wolf King made a ruthless move, killing a Late Golden Core elder of the Song Household of the Luochuan Sect. The Essence Blood and the Golden Core in his Dantian were refined into a Blood Elixir and swallowed by him, which was terrifying.
Under such circumstances, not a single Golden Core Cultivator would dare to make a move rashly.
"Haha, Human Race are indeed cowards, too afraid to even go into battle. They've been scared out of their wits by my king..." A Riftwind Two-Headed Wolf with Pale Azure fur and two heads stood in mid-air, mocking the Human Race Golden Core cultivator.
Its two heads opened simultaneously, and its insults were never repeated; its eloquence far surpassed that of Human Race.
On the city wall, a Human Race Golden Core cultivators all had ashen faces, their expressions filled with murderous intent as they stared at the Demon Wolf in mid-air. Their hatred for this creature was skyrocketing.
"Alas, I can't stand being cursed to my face by such a beast. Fine, let me go and test this fiend's abilities!" An old man, dressed in a gray-white Daoist robe and wearing a Golden Core Cultivator, emerged from the crowd.
This person, known as Tongqi True Person, is a Rogue Cultivator with Golden Core Perfection cultivation level. He wields a Third-Tier Supreme-Grade Law Treasure, the "Demon-Sealing Chessboard," and possesses extraordinary strength.
As soon as Tongqi True Person finished speaking, he stepped out of Luochuan Pass and stood several miles away, facing Wolf Ancestor.
Both remained silent for a moment, then simultaneously launched a fierce attack.
Wolf Ancestor leaped forward, his cultivation nearly breaking through to the Late Golden Core stage, unleashing its power.
Relying on the power of its bloodline, its physique and Law Power have reached the peak of the Golden Core Perfection.
The immense pressure made Tongqi True Person's eyes turn serious. He flipped his right hand, and a square chessboard with Nineteen lines on each side appeared in his palm.
The Demon-Sealing Chessboard flew out, growing larger with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a length and width of several hundred feet, with the Tongqi True Person standing at the Heavenly Origin position.
Wolf Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly, sensing some pressure, but with the Blood Moon Secret Realm as its trump card, it wasn't worried about any danger.
With a swift swing of its claws, the blood-red claw blades struck the chessboard directly, shattering into streaks of crimson light.
Buzz!!
The Demon-Sealing Chessboard trembled, and chess pieces fell from the hands of Tongqi True Person, forming alliances and quickly constructing a magnificent Formation that trapped the Wolf Ancestor within.
However, before he could even feel happy, a Blood-Colored Crescent Moon rose from the horizon, its crimson light scattering across the sky—beautiful, magnificent, and bloody.
The moonlight possessed an exceptionally strong corrosive property. In the blink of an eye, the Formation constructed by the Demon-Sealing Chessboard was mostly destroyed. The Wolf Ancestor, completely unharmed, slowly walked out and looked arrogantly at Tongqi True Person.
Fifteen minutes later, Tongqi True Person returned, his face pale.
The deafening shouts of the Foreign Races race below sounded particularly jarring.
"This Blood Wolf King possesses extraordinary bloodline and unfathomable strength; I am no match for him!" Tongqi True Person said sadly.
"Daoist Friends, there's no need for this. We have all witnessed the strength of the Blood Wolf King; this is not a fault of our own," Seven Absolutes True Person gently comforted him.
The other Golden Core Cultivators also offered words of comfort, which made Tongqi True Person feel a little better.
Meanwhile, the Wolf Ancestor returned to the Demon Race's side.
One after another, Golden Core Golden Core Demon Beasts, and even Nascent Soul Demon Beasts, cast their gazes, some with awe, others with admiration.
The Principle of natural selection makes the Demon Race respect the strong the most. The Blood Wolf King, with his Middle Golden Core cultivation, was able to kill Late Golden Core Human Race cultivator and defeat Golden Core Perfection Human Race cultivator, which was enough to earn the respect of these Demon Races.
"King."
The White Wolf King stepped forward and affectionately touched the Wolf Ancestor's cheek with his head. The latter did not resist, it seems that even heroes cannot resist the charms of a beautiful woman.
At this moment, the Riftwind Two-Headed Wolf came running over, showering him with flattery, revealing its sycophantic nature.
Just as the Wolf Ancestor was getting impatient and wanted to shut it up, a message arrived that silenced all the Foreign Races and brought a hint of joy to the depths of the Wolf Ancestor's eyes.
"The four border forces of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, Ice Crystal Pool, Greenrock Tribe, Blackblood City, and Iron Lion Iron Lion Ridge have all fallen into the hands of the Human Race. Nascent Soul Blood Race Si Fan has perished, and dozens of Golden Core Combat Strength have been wiped out!"
Boom!!
This news not only shocked and silenced the Foreign Races, but also caused an uproar in Luochuan Pass.
The cultivators were filled with disbelief, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears to hear such absurd words.
Those were Four Great Foreign Races Golden Core Force, over forty Golden Core Combat Strength, and even Nascent Soul Blood Race assisting them—yet they were all wiped out? Annihilated by the Yang Household?
