Thus, Yang Chen and Caiyi rode the Red-winged Great Roc out of the Tiger Tooth Belt and into the Wasteland Belt.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
It had already been half a year since the Sky-Piercing Python led countless demon beasts in breaking through the Spirit Guarding Great Array and slaughtering their way into the human lands.
Too, too many things had happened over these past six months.
The humans' first wave of defenses had collapsed with a crash. Just when everyone believed the entire Eastern Thirty-Six Commanderies would once again fall into demon beast territory, someone, for some unknown reason, wreaked havoc within the demon beasts' ranks, halting their advance. The demon beasts were left with a pounding headache over their internal troubles and were unable to launch another attack for a long while.
This gave humanity much-needed breathing room, allowing them to stabilize themselves in the short term and giving the reinforcements time to arrive.
The arrival of those reinforcements was the true main event. This was humanity's foremost concern, and the royal family had cast aside all dignity to seek aid from the northern and southern regions. They joined forces with the Ling Nü Sect of the Central Capital region, various other factions, and the forces of the Western Forty-Two Commanderies, all of whom rushed to the front lines of the Eastern Thirty-Two Armies.
Once they arrived, humanity had practically brought out all its strongest forces. A great war stood poised to erupt at the slightest spark, shaking heaven and earth. Countless Heavenly Martial Realm experts perished within it; even Spirit Disk Stage Great Emperors and Golden Venerate Stage Great Emperors had fallen, along with one Body Integration Realm Great Emperor expert who died on the spot.
