Aura III

Mid-June 1190.

Sixteen Spirit Person Noble the Spirit People announced the formation of United Council of Elders, and together with the three Academy, the Western Sect, Offering Spirit Army branch, began a full-scale sweep against the Righteous Rebel Alliance, a rebel organization that had plagued the country for many years.

Within half a month, the Senate used elite experts to carry out decapitation raids, launching a series of attacks and destroying more than ten branch strongholds of the Rebel Alliance's Reverse Time Society, known as the Star Division.

After being attacked, the Reverse Time Society immediately organized a counterattack, and large-scale conflicts began to occur between the two sides at the remaining thirty-nine Reverse Time Society Star Division bases.

On the 26th, Ming Wu Mountain.

The once dense Sea of Trees has been forcibly divided into a huge passageway in the middle.

The passageway should have been filled with dense tree stumps and bushes, but at this moment it has been charred black by the fire.

Sparks still lingered at the edge of the passage, emitting thick smoke.

A fierce battle had just taken place here, and charred bones, weapons, and clothing could be vaguely seen in the ruins.

With this passage as the dividing line, to the left is the continuous Ming Wu Mountain, where black military flags stand tall at intervals, fluttering in the wind.

In the forest, at the foot of the mountain, and on the mountainside, groups of soldiers in black, whose armor was not fully complete, patrolled.

Occasionally, a skilled individual would flash by, suddenly traversing the Woodland to deliver a message and carry out a mission.

At this moment, on the summit of Ming Wu Mountain, inside a vast cave, in a Stone Hall simply furnished with wall lamps.

This is the main base of the Ming Wu Mountain Star Division of the Reverse Time Society, which is heavily guarded on all sides.

But at the so-called main base, there were only a few people scattered around, some standing and some sitting.

The Star Division was originally just a temporary base for the Reverse Time Society when carrying out covert missions across the country.

But now, due to temporary personnel relocation, it has become a temporary military fortress.

This Stone Hall is now used as a resting place for the top experts of the Reverse Time Society. The generals who are truly responsible for commanding the troops and arranging their formations are not here. Instead, they rest in another stone cave.

"The opposing side has more and more people."

Stone Hall, in the dim light, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out.

"Senior Sky Roc, I heard that Auduna has also come."

"Wasn't she beaten to death by Yue Dewen?" Sky Roc Hunting Tiger, sitting at the very back, looked dejected, fiddling with a few irregular black pebbles in his hands.

"You've just recovered. You couldn't beat Yue Dewen, so you've come to us to vent your anger, haven't you?" the woman said.

"There are more and more experts on the other side now. We don't have enough people, and we're about to be overwhelmed. Hasn't the reinforcement from the headquarters arrived yet?" another man said coldly.

That's how Extreme Realm are; once you step into the Extreme Realm, your personal emotions and moods will change drastically. Most people will show signs of becoming cold and withdrawn.

"Will the guild ever come to our aid?" Fierce Tiger turned to look at the others, whose faces all looked like they had lost their entire families, making him feel even more dejected.

That's why he dislikes staying at headquarters, seeing those deadpan faces all day long. Even if he's in a good mood, it'll quickly turn into something terrible. Who could stand that?

If this goes on for too long, you'll definitely develop a mental illness.

"No support? That means they're just stalling for time," one of them said in surprise. "Then when do we retreat?"

"We won't retreat," Hunter Tiger replied.

"But we can't beat them. We're just a few of us. How many people are on the other side? Offering Spirit Army's Fierce General Zhou Fengyu, Confucian Sect 'Righteous Lineage Righteous Gentleman Sword Yue Chongheng, the headmaster of the Gull Academy, the headmaster of the Ming De Academy Zhuang Cheng, and the Spirit General Thousand Forms."

A man recounted the details.

"Two Confucian Sect Great Grandmaster, one Snow Rainbow Pavilion grandmaster, one Spirit General. Add the Divine General Auduna. I think we're doomed."

"Don't be afraid. Fate brought us together, and there are still people... there are still..." Fierce Tiger thought of the Human Immortal Temple that was about to come to their aid.

The Human Immortal Temple Master is indeed quite powerful; he should be able to withstand a Spirit General.

However, it is unknown how strong the Dao Foundation expert who came from the Human Immortal Temple is, and whether he can make up for the other differences in strength between the two sides.

He thought about it carefully and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a Daoist priest at the Human Immortal Temple who had broken through to the Grandmaster level before.

The Blood Immortal Grandmaster of the Human Immortal Temple is significantly stronger than ordinary Grandmasters. However, whether he can defeat the Worship God Grandmaster remains to be seen.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but drift off into thought.

The others only heard him say something about "something else" and then disappeared.

They immediately realized that the guy had been daydreaming again. They wanted to ask him something, but after a while, they forgot what they wanted to ask.

"This whole affair started because those Spirit Noble besieged the Human Immortal Temple, didn't it? If you think about it carefully, we're the ones who were dragged into this mess," the woman who spoke first said.

"Then why aren't those people from the Human Immortal Temple coming? We're risking our lives for them here, but their leader isn't willing to show up?" the woman said discontentedly.

These words immediately drew dissatisfaction from the group.

"You're right. The view you just mentioned did indeed originate from them. So..." a man agreed.

Boom!!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside.

"It's started again." The people in the Stone Hall all turned their gazes toward the outside of the cave.

"This time, the number of shells has increased again," one person said softly.

"The other side has already surpassed us in terms of the number of experts. Should we still go for it?" the aloof woman asked, her gaze fixed on Sky Roc Hunting Tiger.

"Go." Hunter Tiger said calmly, "The headquarters has already started its operation, we'll proceed according to plan."

He stood up and looked around.

Are you afraid of dying?

"Afraid."

"I'm very scared."

"A little."

"Then follow behind me."

He looked at the Heavenly Light streaming down from outside the cave, and in a flash, he appeared at the cave entrance.

Outside the cave, skilled members of the Reverse Time Society Rebel Alliance gathered from all directions.

The sound of artillery fire continued outside, but Upper Capital one present showed any fear.

It was as if the loud noise had nothing to do with them.

There were over a hundred people present. Apart from the four people in the Stone Hall, the rest were all experts below the Grandmaster level, and there weren't many who were Super Grade.

Ming Wu Mountain is just a separate Star Division, and now that most of the forces of the Reverse Time Society have gathered in Great Capital.

Only a small portion of the forces have gathered here.

"Great Roc, have you sent someone to inform Wu Mountain?" Ximen Yu, the commander of the Reverse Time Society in charge of the army, was a former general of the Spirit Army's Snow Rainbow Pavilion and knew how troublesome the current situation was.

With the military forces clashing, the Reverse Time Society already at a disadvantage, and now it can only temporarily defend itself by taking advantage of the complexity of the terrain.

If even the experts fail, more troublesome situations may arise later.

"I've notified them," Hunter Tiger replied. "They haven't arrived yet."

"I think it's not that they didn't come, it's that they didn't dare to come at all," someone said sarcastically.

"A few days ago, we sent people to intercept and kill the inheritor of the Righteous Lineage Gentleman's Sword, but they were blocked by them. Which side are they on?"

"Stop thinking about it. It's time to go." Hunter Tiger said calmly, looking down at the opposite mountain first.

At this time, across the scorched passage, in the middle of a large Woodland at the foot of the mountain, a lot of open space had been cleared out to build the Spirit Army's camp and sentry towers.

Between these camps, patches of crimson fire would occasionally ignite, followed by deafening explosions.

That was artillery fire.

As the explosions rang out, various tree and rock fragments flew up and down the mountain.

The defensive military structures that the Rebel Alliance had just built were now reduced to fragmented and dilapidated remnants.

The soldiers in the front row all crouched down, using the dug trenches to avoid the shells.

Inside the artillery positions at the foot of the mountain.

A woman with a cold expression and sharp eyebrows, dressed in pure white, form-fitting armor, and holding a crescent-shaped halberd over three meters long, raised her head. Her eyes suddenly turned silver as she looked directly at the Sky Roc Fierce Tiger looking down from the mountain.

"A stubborn resistance, utterly courting death!"

"Auduna, the positions of the remaining troops have been arranged." A deputy general behind her said in a deep voice.

"Righteous Gentleman Sword, Yue Chongheng, the headmaster of the Gull Academy, and Zhuang Cheng, the headmaster of the Ming De Academy, have all entered their respective Array Position." Thousand Forms stood behind him with a look of respect.

"What about Zhou Fengyu? Have his Twelve Silver Scales spread out around the area," Auduna said coldly.

Ever since Yue Dewen killed her in a direct confrontation, she had harbored a deep resentment.

His personal intervention this time was partly due to the death of his beloved general, Thousand Forms, and partly to alleviate the frustration in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Sky Roc from the Reverse Time Society here.

"I have long heard of Sky Roc's name. Legend has it that he is capable of fighting against multiple Spirit General. Today, I have come to personally experience his abilities," Auduna said coldly.

Her gaze was fixed on the Hunter Tiger in the distance.

The two stopped moving at the same time, hundreds of meters apart, with faint interplay of their auras, and began searching for each other's weaknesses.

Upon seeing this, Fierce General Zhou Fengyu, standing behind him, frowned and waved his hand to issue a military order.

Boom boom boom! Suddenly, the dull, resonant war drums sounded continuously.

At the point where the two armies faced each other, on either side of the passage that served as a dividing line, soldiers in black and white, clearly separated, began to slowly approach.

The Spirit Army erected large shields and fired Crossbow through the gaps.

The Rebel Alliance, on the other hand, relied on its large numbers and used huge wooden planks to prop themselves up, moving slowly like a tortoise shell.

Time slowly passed as the war drums of both sides continued to beat, and the distance between the two armies grew closer and closer.

Boom! Finally, with only thirty or forty meters left, both sides discarded all their shields, picked up their spears, swords, and shields, and roared as they charged at each other.

Gunfire erupted like popping beans, and the Righteous Army fell one after another like wheat being harvested.

From the very beginning, the Rebel Alliance was at a disadvantage. The Spirit Army reaped countless lives with its methodical tactics.

Looking down from above, the white-armored Spirit Army resembled reefs being eroded by a black torrent, standing firm and constantly eroding the torrent, dispersing, weakening, and blocking it.

The Offering Spirit Army, with only three thousand men, displayed terrifying military prowess in that instant.

One after another, martial arts masters from the Reverse Time Society, seeing that the situation was not good, leaped out from behind the Righteous Army and joined the battle.

At the same time, many generals on the Spirit Army's side also stood up and took action.

The masters engaged in one-on-one battles. Unfortunately, the Spirit Army still had the upper hand in terms of the number of masters.

Ming Wu Mountain.

Ximen Yu, the leader of the Reverse Time Society, looked grim as he gazed at Sky Roc Hunting Tiger, the Stabilizing Sea Needle in this battle.

"Great Roc, shouldn't the Reverse Time Society also be mobilized? The disparity between the two sides is simply too great. Even if we outnumber them three to one, victory will be difficult. The army's morale must be supported by a clear and tangible hope to prevent it from crumbling!"

The Hunter Tiger looked distressed.

"I understand. Everyone, assess the situation. If we lose, find your own way to escape."

"Senior! Since you knew from the beginning that we lacked experts, why are we still standing here in this stalemate?" Ximen Yu said angrily. "Are you playing with the lives of so many brothers?!"

"It's a necessity dictated by the circumstances, there's nothing we can do about it." Hunter Tiger shook his head. He looked down the mountain.

"Gentlemen, let's begin. I'll go find Auduna; you all disperse and deal with the rest of the Worship God."

"Yes!"

The three Extreme Realm behind him took out their weapons from their waists and backs.

Whoosh!

The four of them, one in front and one behind, darted out simultaneously, like four gray lines, heading straight for the battlefield.

***In the Barracks at the foot of the mountain.

Auduna remained standing still. Just as the four Hunter Tiger moved, she suddenly smiled.

"Here it comes! Let me see if Sky Roc of the Reverse Time Society is qualified to use this name."

With a flick of her wrist, the halberd traced a sharp arc in the air.

In a flash, the person disappeared from the spot.

Zhou Fengyu looked up at the battlefield in the distance, where war drums thundered, shouts of killing, screams, roars and the clash of weapons were mixed together, and firelight ignited trees, gradually sending up new thick smoke.

The sounds of battle cries rose like a tide, wave after wave.

Those belonging to the Reverse Time Society faction are now at a complete disadvantage.

"Let's begin, Grand Initiation Master Thousand Forms."

He looked at Thousand Forms standing to the side.

Thousand Forms took a deep breath. Ever since he was ambushed by the Reverse Time Society, he has been constantly recalling the terrifying scene.

His powerful Final Form, which he was so proud of, and even his Great God Descent, couldn't withstand those three freaks for long.

It was over in a single glance. "Alright." Thousand Forms came to his senses, took out the command flag from his waist, took the tinderbox, and lit it.

"Finish this here as soon as possible and head to support the rest of the region," Thousand Forms said in a low voice. "This time, I will ensure that these people from the Reverse Time Society die a horrible death!!"

Hiss. The command flag itself is a firework structure, and at this moment the top is ignited, emitting sparks.

Thousand Forms pointed it at the sky, about to give an order.

Suddenly, he felt a stab in his back and turned sharply to look at the forest behind him.

Deep within the layered Woodland.

A sharp, piercing gaze seemed to pierce through everything and land behind him.

"What is that?!" Thousand Forms's eyes suddenly turned silver, and his vision was temporarily enhanced.

In the distance of the Woodland, a tall figure dressed in a dark red robe could be seen gazing at them from afar.
