With the appearance of this figure, the raging Golden Behemoth finally chose to back down and cease its attack.
The two Golden Behemoth, each over twenty meters tall and more solid than a fortress, gradually retreated while nodding repeatedly as if they had heard something.
They slowly bowed towards the purple figure, their enormous eyes revealing both fear and respect.
With a flash of light, ten rings appeared before them, shimmering with silver light. After collecting all eighty-odd injured Behemoth Giant Beast on the ground into the spatial rings, the two Golden Behemoth exchanged a glance and simultaneously let out a low growl, announcing their retreat.
Then, ignoring the few remaining orc warriors of the three races, they sprang into the air at top speed and headed towards the Extreme North Wasteland.
The towering mountains seemed to pass before them as if they were walking on flat ground, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The Behemoth army retreated, and the remaining orcs scattered like birds and beasts. As for the orcs who were severely injured and unable to move, or those who had died, no one paid any attention to them.
The world of orcs is cruel; being sacrificed due to resource scarcity is a common occurrence.
Because of the Golden Behemoth's furious attack, a sandstorm swept across the land below, obscuring the view. Along with the Sisi spatial fluctuations, the number of dead orcs on the ground decreased significantly, as if they had been teleported to other dimensions.
"Tsk tsk... What a pity, no Behemoth died. If there were Behemoth Giant Beast, the harvest this time would have been much greater." Wu Ling sorted through the spoils in mid-air. There were quite a few orc and Dragon Cavalry corpses, but relatively few human True Magic and warriors.
The main reason is that Wu Ling is selective when he's collecting things. The orcs look very poor, and apart from the Behemoth Giant Beast, the other orcs have limited research value, so he doesn't need to put too much effort into them. He just selects some powerful individuals, probably leaders or something similar.
While many humans, warriors, and True Magic also died, most of them had living people around them, so they could only collect what no one else was paying attention to, and therefore their gains were not very large.
The most tragic victims were the Dragon Cavalry, who, driven mad by someone's Zither Magic, charged into the orc army in a suicide attack, causing heavy casualties to the orcs. The price was their complete annihilation, leaving not even a single intact corpse.
Wu Ling spent a lot of effort to find and collect some relatively intact Dragon Cavalry corpses; the information on them should be of some help to him.
After collecting the bodies, Wu Ling turned his gaze to the young man sitting on the city wall, playing the zither with both hands.
"The 'protagonist' of the Zither Emperor World, huh? Now that I've intervened and lost that Transcendent Divine Artifact, and the Golden Armored Forbidden Insect is also my target, what will your future be like? You won't actually marry the Mother Demon King, will you?" Thinking of this, Wu Ling revealed a smile of watching the show.
"No, without Transcendent Divine Artifact, whether he can even reach that level is still a question. For example, the future Zither City alone will be a real challenge for him."
Just as Wu Ling was about to leave, a figure standing on a rooftop in the distance caught his attention.
"Is that... the female lead named Sula?" Wu Ling's eyes flickered with uncertainty. He still had a strong impression of this girl who had lost one of her souls.
Finally, Wu Ling sighed and muttered to himself, "So be it. You have to give up something to gain something. Ye Yinzhu isn't a bad person. Apart from the ending, there's nothing to criticize about him. Since I've taken your opportunity, I'll help you protect your wife."
Sula was standing there gazing at Ye Yinzhu, pondering how to face him later, when she suddenly sensed a presence behind her.
Sula was about to leave the spot when she suddenly fainted. After all, with her current level, she couldn't even withstand a single move from Wu Ling.
Just before losing consciousness, Sula vaguely heard, "Don't worry, it's just an equal exchange."
The Extreme North Wasteland, located in the northern part of the Longqinuosi Continent, is a forbidden zone for humans and a breeding ground for orcs.
Ten thousand years ago in the Zither Emperor Universe, the two continents of Eastern Dragon and Western Dragon collided, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color and the Sun Moon to lose their light. After forming the present-day Longqinuosi Continent, it also changed the environment of various regions of the continent and brought about a spatial rift that brought about a great disaster.
The ongoing catastrophe ten thousand years ago completely altered the landscape of the Longqinuosi Continent.
Before this, there were over 100,000 Western Dragon, and even more Sub-Dragon. The Dragon Clan were not much weaker Behemoth the dragons; they were the pinnacle of beasts.
At that time, the humans on the Western Dragon Continent were merely vassals of various races, existing at the lower end of the continent.
However, with that near-apocalyptic catastrophe, many powerful figures of the Eastern Dragon Empire sacrificed themselves for the world, and the humans of the Western Dragon Empire rose up after recuperating, changing the entire continent's situation in one fell swoop.
They allied with the Western Dragon Clan, who still possessed considerable strength at the time. They first Destruction God the Eastern Dragon Empire, then launched a surprise attack and Destruction God the Four Great Divine Beasts of the Orc Race, completely annihilating their remaining opponents. Afterward, the Western Dragons, with their numerical advantage, forced the Dragon Clan to compromise.
Ultimately, the True Magic the Seven Towers of Falan became the true rulers of the continent. Even though the Seven Cities of the Dragon Clan were nominally equal to the Seven Towers of Falan, it was only in name.
And now, on the vast and boundless Extreme North Wasteland, Wu Ling is walking slowly.
Half a month ago, he combined the Dragon Soul he had collected into one soul and one spirit, and then stuffed them into Sula's body. After making her three souls and seven spirits complete, he also inscribed three powerful soul defense Magic Circle to protect her soul from being destroyed again. That's all he can do now. As for what the future holds, it depends on her own destiny.
"It should be around this location. According to Noxie's memories, this is the battlefield where he Destruction God the Golden Armored Forbidden Insect Clan." Wu Ling muttered to himself as he observed the surrounding environment. He had ventured deep into the Extreme North Wasteland and arrived here according to Noxie's memories within the crystal ball, precisely to search for the Golden Armored Forbidden Insect, one of the Four Great Divine Beasts of the Orc Race.
Like the Sacred Dragon, the Four Great Divine Beasts of the Orc Race are genuine level ten divine beasts. They are five divine beasts located on the original Western Dragon Continent.
The Sacred Dragon and the Amethyst Behemoth possess the most outstanding and comprehensive strength, and can basically contend with weaker individual Eastern Divine Dragon.
The other three mythical beasts— the War Behemoth, the Mountain Giant, and the Golden Armored Forbidden Insect —have obvious strengths and weaknesses, making them easy targets for elimination.
Noxie single-handedly Destruction God these three races, and then perished alongside the Amethyst Behemoth when they fought against it.
Based on Wu Ling's understanding of the plot, among the Four Great Divine Beasts of this generation, the Amethyst Behemoth, the War Behemoth, and the Mountain Giant have been born for a long time and are approaching their peak adulthood, making it more troublesome for Wu Ling to try and take advantage of them.
On the contrary, the Golden Armored Forbidden Insect seem to have just been born at this time, and children are the easiest to fool. Moreover, if he remembers correctly, this generation of Golden Armored Forbidden Insect is mutated, and they are a pair of sister lolis or something.
With a wave of his right hand, Wu Ling conjured a humanoid object that stood there. It was the humanoid Spirit Tool he had created, codenamed Long Wu.
It can be controlled by the Wu Ling, who can put Xiao Fen and other clones inside, or it can execute commands like a robot.
" Long Wu, search this area for me."
Upon hearing Wu Ling's command, Long Wu's eyes flashed, and with a crack appearing in the ground, Long Wu charged forward.
A moment later, accompanied by a strong wind and a "whooshing" sound, Long Wu slowly landed beside Wu Ling, holding a large insect in each of his bony hands.
These two little creatures are quite round and plump, their bodies looking somewhat clumsy. They are about a meter in diameter and have a pair of pale golden eyes that shimmer with a faint light. Their bodies are milky white, and if placed in the snow, they would be completely undetectable.
They looked like two large ladybugs, currently being held by a pair of dragon claws. Their pale golden eyes were constantly glowing, and the cute Xiao Bai dot at the very front of their heads, which resembled a nose, was twitching incessantly, clearly indicating that they were very angry.
"Wuu..." Perhaps because Wu Ling had been observing them, they were a little angry at not getting a response, or perhaps they were quite uncomfortable being held in mid-air. The two beetle-like beasts' pale golden eyes flashed, and they immediately gathered extremely intense energy fluctuations.
The upper bodies of the two insects rose simultaneously, and their bodies released a milky white light at the same time, as translucent as jade.
Its body seemed to swell slightly from the tail, and that swelling quickly moved forward.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Two milky-white orbs of light shot out from their mouths, aimed directly at Long Wu's ferocious and majestic head. The milky-white orbs were not very large, and the light was very thin, so they did not seem to be very powerful. However, Long Wu dodged them instantly at Wu Ling's signal.
Then a bizarre scene unfolded: the milky-white orb of light flew in the air for only a moment, yet it immediately caused the wind and clouds to change color.
The light spheres, which had previously been completely devoid of True Magic elemental fluctuations, were exposed to the air for only a few seconds. At the same time, the True Magic elements within a radius of a hundred meters around them became violent and rushed towards the two milky-white light spheres at an astonishing speed.
When these frenzied True Magic elements rushed into the milky-white sphere of light, they did not expand in size; instead, they were violently compressed.
Then, a deafening roar was heard—no, it was so loud it was hard to tell if it was one or two. The violent shockwave that emanated in that instant reached a nearby cliff, causing a terrifying scene of landslides and earthquakes. The powerful energy fluctuations were comparable to the clash of forbidden spells.
The violent explosion caused the entire mountain to tremble, and the surrounding area was instantly engulfed in a fierce sandstorm.
It's hard to imagine that such terrifying destructive power was released by two tiny insects. The turmoil in the air lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually calming down. The entire cliff was teetering on the brink of collapse, with huge, palm-width cracks resembling earthworms appearing everywhere. No one knew whether it would collapse at any moment.
"This kind of attack is truly terrifying. It's comparable to the ninth Spirit Skill of an ordinary Titled Douluo, and it's two attacks in quick succession. If someone were to take these two hits, even Titled Douluo would probably be severely injured, if not killed." Wu Ling sighed as he looked at the collapsing cliff.
