The Barbarians Defect to the Enemy

Judging from Yue Shuo's cultivation time, he has only been at the Nascent Spirit Transmutation Realm for a little over a hundred years.

When Du Xiao divined Shen Long's great fortuitous opportunity, Yue Shuo had not yet advanced to the Spirit Transmutation Realm. From this perspective, Du Xiao's divination was quite accurate; it's just that Shen Long's interface was on another interface, and he couldn't find it.

"Is the great fortuitous opportunity the Demon Core and Essence Blood of a fifth-tier Thunder Peng? Or is it that token?"

Shen Long muttered to himself.

The True Monarch Seven Stars said that Cai Lei stole a very important treasure and used his position to escape to the Lower Realm. Could it be the Golden Token?

Shen Long picked up the Golden Token and tried to infuse it with Law Power.

The Golden Token shone with a dazzling golden light, transforming into a palm-sized golden lotus flower. The lotus leaves were covered with mysterious runes, resembling some kind of script.

"Golden Lotus! It seems to be some kind of special script."

Shen Long secretly guessed.

"Cai Lei, just how many tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Shen Long was talking to himself.

No one knows how many tricks Cai Lei has up his sleeve. The treasure that True Monarch Seven Stars mentioned might be one of Cai Lei's tricks, perhaps it's this Golden Token, or perhaps it's some other treasure.

Shen Long sorted and collected the items on the ground, then tossed the Azure Luan Axe forward, erasing the markings on it, and began refining the treasure.

With this Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, Shen Long's strength will be greatly enhanced, making him even more formidable.

······

Heaven Origin Mountain Range, Heaven Origin Garden.

Seven Spirit Transformation cultivators, including Yin Jie, Yin Qing, Bian Rong, Tuo Shan, and Tuna, gathered in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, their faces grim.

Originally intending to seize the opportunity to turn the tide and narrow the gap with the Human Race, they instead lost two Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, and Yin Jie almost perished.

"I know why the Qinglang Mountain Range were breached by Human Race cultivators; the Transformation Art that Shen Long possessed was terrifying."

Yin Qing frowned and said.

"He uses Transformation Art, and ordinary Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure are no match for him unless Formation is used to kill him, or a soul-attacking treasure is used."

Tuo Shan analyzed, his face filled with murderous intent.

The Golden Scale Race wanted to show off, but ended up showing their backside instead—how embarrassing!

Given the strength Shen Long has displayed, even a combined attack from multiple Spirit Transformation cultivators might not be enough to kill Shen Long. The number of Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure they possess far exceeds that of the Human Race cultivators who have invaded the Heaven Origin Realm, which is their advantage.

With Shen Long's arrival, their advantage diminished.

"He's not stupid, why would he walk into the Formation? We have Spirit Treasure of the divine soul type, but we still can't kill him. At most, we can create an opportunity to use a heavy, Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure to kill him."

Bian Rong said.

"Lin Xiang and the others will not stand idly by, especially since we have fewer Spirit Transformation cultivators than they do. Fellow Daoist Tuo, Fellow Daoist Tu, please go back and seek reinforcements."

Yin Jie said sincerely.

With their current strength, they are unable to initiate a war. Heaven Origin City and Heaven Origin Mountain Range both need Spirit Transformation cultivators to be stationed there, and there are not many Spirit Transformation cultivators who can go into battle.

"Sending troops is no problem, but we've already lost two Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators while helping you fight the Human Race. You have to give us some compensation! Otherwise, the other fellow cultivators might not come to support you."

Tuo Shan made a request.

"We also need compensation. Many of our clansmen died in battle. Fellow Daoist Yin, you can't just offer empty promises if you want our help!"

Tuna echoed this.

"Make a list of your requests; we'll try our best to accommodate anything that isn't too unreasonable."

Yin Jie said.

The Heaven Origin Race is now in a dilemma; if they don't offer benefits to the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Purple Charm Race and Golden Scale Race, the latter won't help them.

The resources needed by Spirit Transformation cultivators are already limited. There aren't enough resources for the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race, so they have to share with Spirit Transformation cultivators of other races.

The Heaven Origin Race is mired in a quagmire; they're lucky if they can repel the Human Race cultivators now, annihilating them is unrealistic.

"Okay, it's settled then. Let's go back and rest."

Tuo Shan said, got up and left, Tuna followed him.

Yin Jie, Yin Qing, Bian Rong, and the others looked rather grim. They could naturally tell that the Purple Charm Race and the Golden Scale Race had gone together.

"Let's ask our people in the Lingxu Realm Pivot Realm for help! With our current strength, we simply cannot repel the Human Race cultivators, let alone annihilate them. Even if we could annihilate Human Race, our losses would be considerable. By then, the Purple Charm Race and the Golden Scale Race might make even more outrageous demands."

Bian Rong suggested.

"We keep the wolf out the front door, but encounter the tiger at the back! The Human Race is the wolf, and the Purple Charm Race and the Golden Scale Race are the tigers."

Yin Qing frowned and said.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Purple Charm Race and the Golden Scale Race are currently willing to support the Heaven Origin Race. If the Heaven Origin Race suffers too many losses, the two clans may not remain loyal.

"Our people in the Lingxu Realm are too busy taking care of themselves to likely offer us assistance."

Yin Shi said.

"No matter what, we still have to try. Yin Qing, you go and handle this matter. Bian Rong, you go to other realms and see if you can persuade other races to support us."

Yin Jie gave the order.

"To get them to send troops, you need to offer them tangible benefits."

Bian Rong looked troubled.

"As long as it's not too excessive, give it to them. The longer the war drags on, the more passive we become."

Yin Jie said.

"Yes! Putting aside everything else, the Purple Charm Race and the Golden Scale Race are very difficult to feed. The longer it goes on, the bigger their appetites become."

Yin Qing said.

"I understand, I'll get on it right away."

Bian Rong agreed.

······

The Gan Yang Realm, the East Hua Cultivation World.

Golden Crow Grassland, Golden Crow City.

A huge black cloud floated high in the sky. Duanmu Xi, Mu Jiaojiao, and Huangfu Lou stood on the black cloud, with the Fire Qilin Beast not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, choose between annihilating our clan or serving us!"

Duanmu Xi's tone was icy.

Wang Kun was no match for them and self-destructed. Many forces in the Gan Yang Realm were broken up, making it more difficult for the Devil Race to unify the Gan Yang Realm.

They planned to win over the Barbarian Race to serve them; with the Barbarian Race' help, their pressure would be less.

Wu Xiao flew out from Golden Crow City, his brows furrowed.

"We don't want to get involved in your affairs with the Human Race!"

Wu Xiao frowned and said.

The Devil Race is different from the Heaven Origin Race. The Devil Race needs demonic energy to cultivate, while the Heaven Origin Race needs Spiritual Qi.

If the Barbarian Race pledge allegiance to the Heaven Origin Race, the Barbarian Race cultivators can use the Heaven Origin Race's treasures, pills, Talisman. However, if they pledge allegiance to the Devil Race, the Barbarian Race cultivators cannot use the Devil Race tribe's pills, Devil Beast, or magical beasts.

The Barbarian Race have no choice but to support the Devil Race. Even if the Human Race don't fight back, the Barbarian Race will have no place in the Gan Yang Realm.

If we do not support the Devil Race, we will face the calamity of annihilation.

"If you don't help us, you might help the Human Race. Fellow Daoist Wu, choose one! Exterminate our race or support our Devil Race. There is no third option."

Duanmu Xi said.

"What benefit would I get from supporting you?"

"I ask Wu Xiao asked.

"We will support your Barbarian Race to grow stronger. Haven't you been constantly suppressed by the Human Race? Your chance for revenge has come."

Duanmu Xi said.

"I'm talking about what benefit it would bring me personally! I only want to ascend to the Lingxu Realm."

Wu Xiao frowned and said.

"We can provide you with resources for your cultivation, but you must demonstrate your sincerity to us."

Duanmu Xi said.

"You must leave a vow on the Heavenly Devil Forbidden Book, promising not to betray us, or your cultivation will regress. You can choose not to leave a vow, but we cannot Dharma Aspect you."

Mu Jiaojiao flicked her sleeve, and a page of a book, shimmering with black light, flew out and landed in front of Wu Xiao.

"You two also need to sign an oath promising not to harm me, or let's have a showdown!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Wu Xiao sent out a golden page that landed in front of Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi nodded and left a vow, and Wu Xiao also left a vow on the Heavenly Devil Forbidden Book, and the two sides reached a cooperation agreement.

"I will give the order immediately to capture the Human Race. You need to send more experts over."

"That's what Wu Xiao said."

"Don't worry, our reinforcements are on their way."

Duanmu Xi said in a deep voice.

After giving them a few words of advice, they left.

Barbarian Race cultivators mobilized in full force to capture Human Race cultivators.
