Fierce Battle Against the Fire-Bathing Tribe (Middle)
In Desolation vast, desolate World Interstice, two groups of people, one on the left and one on the right, one above and one below, surged towards each other like a raging torrent sweeping across the heavens and earth.
The Fire-Bathing Tribe, on the other hand, did not command War Fortress, but rather Lava Behemoths.
These Giant Beasts resemble rhinoceroses, but they have eight legs, broad backs, and small Volcano dotting their backs.
Lava continuously flows from Volcano crater, running down the skin of the Lava Behemoth. Wherever it passes, the lava gathers into rivers, dyeing half the sky crimson.
Moo!!
The dozens of Lava Behemoths leading the way all possessed the strength of Spirit Transformation. On their backs stood soldiers of the Fire-Bathing Tribe, each wielding a standardized weapon.
It was a double-headed hammer, with a head as big as a millstone, but it was just right in the hands of the Fire-Bathing Tribe, whose average height was nearly two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).
"Moo!!"
The Lava Behemoth roared, shaking the heavens and the earth. The Volcano on its back began to erupt, and the scorching lava transformed into a thick layer of armor, making the Giant Beast even more terrifying.
"Kill!!" On the Human Race side, the leader of the Mountain and River Hall and the deputy Army Commander of the Mountain and River Army, Venerable Liuchuan, roared and led 15,000 Mountain and River Army to directly leave the War Flying Vessels and charge forward.
Boom!!
The clash between the two sides unleashed wave after wave of devastation, thus beginning the war.
Yang Tianyou led the Yang Household Fleet to protect the left flank of the main force during their attack.
Hundreds of Lava Behemoths charged forward, spewing scorching columns of lava from hundreds of miles away.
Thousands of Lava pillars erupted simultaneously, Sage Manifestation powerhouse to temporarily retreat.
However, when armies clash, it's all about momentum; one step back means a step back.
Yang Yusheng, who was singled out by Yang Tianyou to serve as the Fleet commander, naturally understood this principle.
He raised his right hand, and the adjutant beside him instantly understood, raising his command flag high to signal the start of war.
Buzz!!
The endless Array Mark twisted and coiled like serpents, and the layered Formation barriers were rapidly constructed, just like stacking building blocks. Before long, a towering barrier hundreds of feet thick was built in front of the Fleet.
Above that barrier, various forces surged, including beams of golden light, rolling earth and rocks, and towering waves.
Pillars of Lava streaked across the sky for hundreds of miles, colliding with the Fleet's protective shield.
In an instant, the world seemed to fall into silence, followed by a deafening, earth-shattering roar that engulfed all other sounds.
Yang Tianyou looked up and saw that beneath the scorching magma, the barrier was melting away, but was rapidly healing itself with the support of the Spiritual Qi from the Fleet behind.
The two forces fought each other to the death, neither gaining the upper hand, and ultimately both perished.
The hundred-mile distance was covered in the blink of an eye. In close combat, one after another, Lava Behemoths leaped up, their heads flashing with fire, and crashed fiercely into the War Flying Vessels that floated in the sky.
Thump!
The Flying Boat trembled, but Yang Tianyou seemed rooted to the spot, remaining completely still. Instead, he lowered his head to meet those crimson eyes, which were as large as a pool of water.
His calm gaze held no threat whatsoever, yet for some reason, the Lava Behemoth took a step back.
"Madam, I'll take the left and you take the right. You can handle the big guy over there!" Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
Yunhua nodded slightly, and with a wave of her right hand, she held the Cold Moon Immortal Sword, which had reached the Fifth-Tier Upper Grade, in her palm. The Sword-Ray flashed, and her flowing white robes disappeared.
Here, Yang Tianyou stepped out of the Flying Boat, wielding the Twin Blades, with a Moon Disc behind him, and walked step by step toward the Lava Behemoth opposite.
"Hmm? Nascent Soul Late Stage dares to step forward alone? He's courting death!!" Standing on the Giant Beast's Nascent Soul Realm were three powerful members of the Fire-Bathing Tribe, all at the peak of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm. The leader of the Fire-Bathing Tribe sneered and then commanded the Lava Behemoth beneath him to launch an attack.
"Moo!!"
The Lava Behemoth let out a long roar, and then the four Volcano on its back suddenly erupted, each of the four pillars of lava capable of severely injuring an ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.
However, Yang Tianyou remained calm, his eyes like a still sea, without a ripple, and he made only one move.
Raise your hand, and slash down with your sword!!
Clang!!
The clear, melodious Blade Cry was like the sound of striking a chime. At first, it was inconspicuous, but in an instant, it transformed into a blazing, Blazing Saber Light that leaped out from the Twin Blades.
Furthermore, the Starlight behind them spun rapidly, gradually evolving into a Life-and-Death Wheel Seal. Hundreds of Gods and Devils with blurred faces roared to the sky, propelling the wheel to spin at high speed.
The wheel-shaped mark hung behind Yang Tianyou's head, as sacred and vast as the halo behind the Buddha's head, absorbing spiritual Spiritual Qi from all directions and expanding rapidly.
On the other side, the Great Sun Great White Heavenly Blade, transformed into a beam of light, instantly evolved into a golden wave stretching across the east and west, with countless Geng Metal Qi rising and falling within it, and the fleeting shadow of White Tiger spreading its wings appearing in the distance.
Clang!!
As the blade flashed, the four magma pillars were cleaved in two, and the magma dripped onto the ground, forming pools of flame.
The remaining blade light, though dimmed, still struck the Lava Behemoth's sharp horn with undiminished force.
Thump!!
The sharp corner, as large as a house, smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater. The broken edge was perfectly smooth, and wisps of Geng Metal Qi lingered around it.
Only now did the three Fire-Bathing Tribe sitting on the Lava Behemoth's neck finally react.
"Moo!!"
With its sharp horn severed, the Lava Behemoth let out a painful howl.
The three Nascent Soul from the Fire-Bathing Tribe stood up. Although they were surprised by Yang Tianyou's strength, they remained convinced that their side would win.
"Kill him!!"
The leader of the Fire-Bathing Tribe roared, and a four-zhang-tall fiery red pillar appeared in his hand, with liquid flames flowing endlessly on it. With each swing, a great fire broke out between heaven and earth.
"Go to hell!!"
One attacked first, while the other two flanked from both sides. The Lava Behemoth stomped its eight legs on the ground, sending magma soaring into the sky and forming a cage that trapped Yang Tianyou inside. For a moment, it seemed that there was nowhere for Yang Tianyou to hide, whether in the sky or on the ground, or in any direction.
Yang Tianyou seemed oblivious, raising his hand to take out a somewhat tattered book, which turned out to be the Firmament Record.
Although his strength was far from enough to unleash the true power of the Firmament Record, even just two or three tenths of its power was enough to defend against all attacks from the Nascent Soul Realm.
Splash!
The book was turned page by page, stopping at the eighth page, which depicted an octagonal shield!
Upper Divine Ability: Eight Trigrams Profound Light Shield!
As Yang Tianyou poured his Law Power into the shield, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the Firmament Record, instantly transforming into a six-sided Eight Trigrams Profound Light Shield that enveloped his body, blocking attacks from all directions.
"My turn!" Yang Tianyou murmured to himself. The Life-and-Death Wheel Seal behind his head, like a star falling from the sky, crashed down and struck the Fire-Bathing Tribe directly in front of him.
A terrifying devouring force flowed out, forming a force field that was difficult to escape, making the Fire-Bathing Tribe's movements extremely slow. He could only watch helplessly as the terrifying wheel-shaped imprint, propelled by the roars of hundreds of Gods and Devils, struck him.
Laugh!!
As the wheel seal descended, the Fire-Bathing Tribe leader resisted frantically, raising the giant pillar in his hand towards the sky, but it was as if a mud ox had entered the sea, without making a sound.
The flames emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger, as if a greedy Giant Beast was clinging to his back, frantically sucking at his flesh.
"Ah!!"
The Fire-Bathing Tribe leader screamed in agony, frantically reaching out his hands, but to no avail. In the end, like a drowning Mortal, he was dragged into the Life-and-Death Wheel Seal, his Fleshly Body disintegrating inch by inch, his soul vanishing completely, as if he had never existed in this world.
