High-Profile Achievements
This was the third encounter between the Immortal Path, the Esoteric Sect, the New Life Path, and the Nomadic Hunting Civilization, and it was also the final bloodbath that brought the Fate Battle to a complete close.
In a large-scale conflict, how could people not die?
Not to mention the lower and middle-level cultivators, even several Grandmaster died in battle.
Seven of the Ancestor of the Sixth Realm were seriously injured, and the initial clash was quite fierce.
As the battle progressed and the overall situation became clear, the tide gradually turned in one direction.
"What? Ancestor has died in battle?" A stir broke out among the crowd in the desert.
Despite having an overwhelming advantage, a prominent figure still died.
Someone said, "The death of a Ancestor of the Esoteric Sect was not due to the war."
"Oh no, what happened?" Many people were unable to calm down; this was no small matter.
"He's too old; his lifespan was already limited. He came here specifically to complete this fateful battle," an old man sighed, as if thinking of himself, who had also entered his twilight years.
The Ancestor of the Esoteric Sect died a natural death, closing his eyes only after witnessing the demise of the last Sixth Realm master of the Nomadic Hunting Civilization.
"Four hundred and fifty years ago, he was already Ancestor, pursuing the Nomadic Hunting Civilization to the Endless Frozen Tundra of the Northern Region, but he did not complete his mission, which is a great pity."
In particular, the group of Ancestor then rushed to the God's Fall Plain Devastation to fight against the Demon Civilization. After a series of battles, a generation was almost wiped out.
This surviving Ancestor of the Esoteric Sect had a deep-seated resentment; had he not experienced two major battles in succession, not all of his old comrades would have perished.
He was eager to see one of his arch-enemies completely wiped out, so he came along this time.
"This old Ancestor passed away peacefully. Before he died, he even got to do one last thing: someone entrusted him with the task of delivering the final blow to a dying leader of the Hunter-Gatherers."
The initially somber atmosphere instantly became peaceful and soothing.
However, the so-called easing of tensions is only relative, after all, there is blood everywhere and corpses all around.
Soon after, sobs broke out. Some had lost their fathers or brothers in battle, some had lost their masters or elders, and some had lost their dao companion.
If defeating the enemy was so difficult, one can only imagine how thrilling and brutal the battles must have been in those difficult times.
Subsequently, many people in the desert busied themselves, burning what needed to be burned and burying what needed to be buried. The corpses of many powerful Hunter-Gatherers were also brought to the thirty-six Divine Stakes.
People were horrified. Was this not the end of it? They were going to have to sacrifice blood for this deadly weapon.
"Now that the people in the grave have been disturbed, we should at least have a talk with that Earth Immortal," someone from the higher-ups said.
This is indeed a Immortal Grave, but the main tomb contains the remains of a living person—a Earth Immortal!
Moreover, other accompanying tombs did indeed contain the Corpse Liberation Immortal.
One of the Ancestor spoke up, "The scenes you saw earlier were not all illusions. According to our calculations, if we forcibly open the tomb, some things might actually happen."
Everyone was immediately shaken.
A Ancestor calmed the crowd, saying, "It's not that bad. We won't be wiped out, but it will certainly be a very difficult time."
Looking at the large tomb shrouded in white mist, people felt a chill run down their spines. It was just a dead land, yet it had severely damaged the Ancestor of several of their paths.
"Count the number of heads taken and reward those who have rendered meritorious service!" Finally, a Grandmaster spoke up.
As for the Ancestor, he wouldn't concern himself with such specific and tedious matters.
The somber atmosphere was immediately broken, and many young people became excited, eager to convert their battle merits into cash to further enhance their strength.
In this era of Great Wilderness Expansion, nothing is more secure than having power firmly under one's own control.
This area has become lively.
Wu Yaozu said, "Ming Ge, are you alright? That was really dangerous at the last moment. A bunch of old guys rushed towards you. Luckily, your Thunder King Bird fast enough. Hmm, I saw Senior Brother Jin Xiang and Fairy Li charging towards you."
Qin Ming's broken ribs had been set. He rubbed his head and said, "I should be fine after a couple of days of rest."
The broken bones were nothing compared to the impact of the Rune Bell exploding at the last moment; otherwise, it might have caused someone else's Mental Field to collapse.
His consciousness merged with the Heavenly Light. Although his body was thrown out by the rune bell and he was seriously injured, he would be fine after a few days of rest.
Compared to him, Thunder King Bird was more seriously injured.
Qin Ming found the Golden Two-Headed Wolf and the Fire Lizard and gave them to it as Blood Food. Even though the Strange Blood essence was taken away, the remaining flesh and blood were still a great tonic.
"I almost got punched to death by an old monkey." Xiang Yiwu was still shaken. In the final moment of his counterattack, the Hunter-Gatherers went berserk.
"Qin Ming killed 158 enemies, including 93 Hunter-Gatherers of the Second Realm and Hunter-Gatherers in the Early-Third Realm..."
When the battle achievements were tallied, everyone around stared in astonishment. This young man had beheaded so many people all by himself?
The key point is that he killed so many Hunter-Gatherers from the Third Realm while still in the Second Realm.
"Each time he strikes, he kills both the rider and his mount," someone added.
In that case, his military achievements would be even more valuable.
He defeated several seeded players!
Without a doubt, killing Seed Level Figure adds several brilliant halo effects to this achievement, making it an extremely eye-catching and glorious accomplishment.
This caused a sensation!
Simply having a large number of enemies killed isn't enough to Qi Ingestion the younger generation, but killing Hunter-Gatherers of the same generation who are like "Immortal Seed" would be quite a highlight.
Other young disciples also killed seeds of the Nomadic Hunting Civilization, but none as many as Qin Ming.
In an instant, everyone, from Jiang Ran and Pei Shuyan of the Immortal Path to Zhao Qingcheng and Cheng Sheng of the Esoteric Sect, as well as the young nobles of the Three Great Dynasties, all looked over.
Many people think this guy is wild and fierce; among the seeds he killed were two at the Early-Third Realm, which is truly frightening upon closer inspection.
Li Qingyue stood with Jiang Ran and Zhao Qingcheng, smiling slightly. Only she knew that Qin Ming had not yet been forced to use his full strength in this battle.
Even so, many people agree that if Qin Ming becomes the Ancestor of the New Life Path hundreds of years later, he will definitely be the kind of person who can single-handedly challenge the gods.
"In the future, he may be able to look down upon all the ancestors and single-handedly slay immortals of the Seventh Realm!" This is naturally an extremely high evaluation.
Qin Ming's High-Profile Achievements naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Upon witnessing this scene, Helian Zhaoyu felt a tightness in his chest. He had almost been killed by a crazed Old Rhinoceros, which greatly diminished his combat record.
In the distance, Wei Cheng's face was grim; his number of beheadings was less than a third of Qin Ming's.
"His record is outrageous; he's definitely among the top of his generation!" said Cui Changqing, a senior member of the Cui Household, his expression extremely solemn.
Many people already know that Qin Ming is the "Abandoned Son" of the Cui Household, and the more outrageous his behavior is now, the more uncomfortable they feel.
"Unfortunately, there are relatively few seeds of my level among the Hunter-Gatherers; otherwise, my harvest would be far greater than it is now," Cui Chonghe replied calmly.
Cui Changqing said, "Have you considered this possibility? He has just obtained two legendary Sacred Fiend. If he collects all Four Symbols Fiend, his combat power will increase even further."
Cui Chonghe and said, "When I said we should fight on equal footing, I naturally considered these factors. Giving him time to catch up, allowing him to efficiently gather all the Sacred Fiend, and even more, I am still not afraid. In fact, when I stand high above the clouds, overlooking the Brocade Landscape, he will probably still be lingering in the Fourth Realm."
In the distance, others were discussing whether Qin Ming could collect the legendary Four Saintly Evils and other rare otherworldly substances to enhance himself.
Many people have heard the legend that in ancient times, if someone could fuse four kinds of Sacred Fiend, even the masters of those immortal dojos would treat them with respect.
Qin Ming, having exchanged his battle merits for what he needed, naturally inquired first whether there were any Vajra Fruit available.
"Yes, it's ready for you." A renowned elder took out a fruit that emitted a golden light. It was the size of a fist, with a fragrant, sweet aroma that was very tempting.
However, Qin Ming was taken aback, because it was half pale gold and half still had a bluish glow, and it was not fully ripe.
The old man explained, "This is the only Vajra Fruit that can be exchanged, enough for your needs. The others need to be given to advanced cultivators for alchemy."
Yu Gensheng appeared, nodded to Qin Ming, and said that the mature fruit could be shared by Three Paths, and the resulting Vajra Elixir could be used even by experts of the Fourth Realm.
"Your battle merits are certainly not enough to use up the Vajra Fruit alone. Do you need any other treasures or scriptures?"
Qin Ming said, "Do you have the <Immortal Combat Scripture>? If not, the <Golden Crow Illuminates Night Scripture> or the <Waxing and Waning Scripture> will do. I'd like to exchange it for a secret manual."
Many people remained silent, but he dared to speak up.
The Immortal Path immortal said expressionlessly, "That won't be enough battle merits; you need to accumulate more. Besides, some secret manuals can't be exchanged."
Qin Ming asked, "Then please tell me, if one accumulates enough battle merits, what kind of secret manual can be used to reward merits?"
The old man said, "The fragment of the * Golden Crow Illuminates Night Scripture * was incomplete when it was unearthed, and the first volume of the * Waxing and Waning Scripture * can also be exchanged."
"Can I see the original?" Qin Ming asked.
"We need to coordinate something," the old man said.
Qin Ming felt that if he could see the original version, then none of this would be a problem.
He stopped wasting his battle merits and set his sights on the "Golden Crow Illuminates Night Scripture," intending to exchange it for something else in the future. This was because even the Ancestral Court of various sects along the New Life Path only had a few fragmented pages of this scripture, and he needed to resonate with the original True Scripture.
In the evening, in the former territory of the Sun Elf Race, the Mountain City was gone, and Fire Spring flowed through the forest, shrouded in a hazy night.
Qin Ming, Wu Yaozu, Xiang Yiwu, and Li Qingyue were eating a hot pot of Flood Dragon Meat. They felt a warm current flowing through their bodies; it was indeed a very nourishing food.
Soon after, Yu Gensheng arrived. Without any ceremony, he scooped up several large pieces of Flood Dragon Meat and put them into his bowl, praising the delicious taste, which gave his aged body a bit of vitality.
In the distance, a massive warship rose into the air.
"The battle is not over yet!" Yu Gensheng said.
Several Ancestor have traveled west, and together with the Sun Elf Race who set off earlier, they will destroy the Hunter-Gatherers ' stronghold, where their elite forces have been wiped out and they are now vulnerable.
"Sweep away the troubles and eliminate the source of future problems!"
Now, people know that the Sun Elf Race have abandoned darkness and embraced the light.
The main reason was that the Ancestor of each path sensed something was amiss in advance and put pressure on the clan, ultimately causing them to turn against them and cooperate with the Immortal Path, the Esoteric Sect, and the New Life Path.
The lower levels of the Sun Elf were completely unaware of the entanglements and conflicts between their own Sixth Realm powerhouses, the Hunter-Gatherers, the Immortal Path, and the Esoteric Sect; they were kept in the dark the entire time.
In truth, even the Grandmaster Level powerhouses of the Sun Elf Race were unwilling to work with the Hunter-Gatherers, because those people were too ruthless and too dangerous.
Yu Gensheng added, "Those who were not injured in the battle will exchange their battle merits for rewards and then rest briefly. Tonight, some teams will embark on their return journey to the God's Fall Plain."
Immediately, the expressions of the people in front of Flood Dragon Hot Pot became serious.
The Ancestor worried that when the Nomadic Hunting Civilization launched its attack, the ancient Demon Civilization might also take the opportunity to invade, and this was not impossible.
Regarding this Immortal Grave, the Ancestor planned to try to communicate with that Earth Immortal, but it would probably be fruitless; perhaps everything would have to wait and see.
Yu Gensheng said, "This can hardly be considered a bloody battle, because the Nomadic Hunting Civilization has walked right into the trap we opened beforehand. As for the God's Fall Plain, its origins are extremely mysterious and dangerous; if a conflict breaks out, anything can happen. However, on the bright side, perhaps someone will become a god, an immortal—no, I mean, step into the Seventh Realm!"
