"To be honest, I really don't know, but even if I did, I might not dare to say anything.
Besides, the Ye family is targeting you so much, which makes me very puzzled. I once complained to Elder Long, but unfortunately, he never told me. Shen Chengfeng shook his head and said.
Long Chen nodded. It seemed Shen Chengfeng really didn't know, so Long Chen didn't ask about it further.
After Elder Long left, Shen Chengfeng seemed much warmer toward Long Chen. Long Chen clearly felt that Shen Chengfeng's guard had greatly eased.
After chatting for a while, Shen Chengfeng told Long Chen to focus on recovering from his injuries. Once recovered, he could enter the battlefield at any time to collect Ancient Essence Blood.
Watching Shen Chengfeng's departing figure, Chu Yao warily asked, "Is Shen Chengfeng trying to win us over?" "
I think so. Or rather, the Divine Clan wants to use us. The Ye family is deliberately targeting us, and I wonder if they're using us to show a threat to Elder Long's faction.
And Elder Long deliberately helped us, which meant we had become pawns in a contest between the two sides. Long Chen said.
"Using us? Isn't that going too far?" Guo Ran said with great dissatisfaction.
"What's so excessive about that? They have no obligation to help us; we have what they need, and they have what we need. It's mutual benefit.
At least for now, it's still a great deal for us. If we can't see Elder Long's intentions, we'll actually be worried.
We're still too weak. At least for the gods, they can wipe us out at any moment.
However, we also have our own strengths and trump cards; what we lack now is just time and opportunity. Long Chen watched the fierce battles on the battlefield and secretly clenched his fists.
It's not just the Divine Clan who are powerful; the major powers like Dan Valley, the Evil Path, the Ancient Family Alliance, and the Xuan Beast Clan all have hidden backgrounds as well. But now is not the time to expose them.
They were also waiting for the right moment and opportunity. Right now, Long Chen could only gain greater benefits by cooperating with Elder Long, though of course, the benefits also carried huge risks.
As the Dragonblood Legion rested collectively, time passed bit by bit, and powerful warriors could fall on the battlefield at any moment.
If a powerful figure from the Tianwu Continent is killed, their bodies will be looted by the blood clan, and some may even fight each other over the corpse. The scene is extremely terrifying.
The Blood Clan wants the human race's complete body so they can extract the root energy from the dantian of the strong. The strong on the Tianwu Continent want the blood essence of the blood clan, while the blood clan needs the root energy in the human dantian themselves.
The corpses of human warriors are a treasure that the blood clan envies. Once they appear, countless blood clan experts snatch them, creating a truly terrifying sight.
As time passed, casualties on both sides grew heavier, because there were too many Blood Clan powerhouses—almost endless. After all, in this world, there was only one Dragonblood Legion, and only they could maintain a record of zero casualties.
Casualties from all factions occur every moment, but this is inevitable. This is the cruelest elimination training, the most brutal process of sifting the sand.
The elder powerhouses of the major powers all clenched their fists, fearing that their backs would be sacrificed in the war.
But even fear could not stop the cruel reality. They watched helplessly as their descendants were slain by the blood clan's army, even their bodies taken. They were furious, yet could do nothing.
Even if they can rush into the battlefield now to help them, what will happen in the future? They are the true protagonists of this world. If they don't face cruel wars now, more disciples will die in the future.
People couldn't help but think of the Dragonblood Legion. Despite such a terrifying war, they managed to maintain zero deaths. Behind this miracle lay countless battles of blood and fire.
The Long Chen Legion is a sharp blade honed through countless trials, yet they are still a mere blade blank. To be truly sharp, they must undergo brutal trials, and some will inevitably be worn down.
Some strong ones even regretted it, saying they had harmed these children. Their reluctance and indulgence slowed their progress. If they had let go earlier and let them experience the true trials of blood and fire, although they might not have been able to compete with the Dragonblood Legion, they would at least be much stronger than they are now.
Especially those righteous cultivators, watching their disciples fall one by one, many broke down in tears. War is cruel—seeing loved ones mercilessly taken away while powerless is the most brutal punishment.
This vast war demonstrated the strength of the evil path, whose strong cultivators suffered the fewest casualties among the major powers.
Because evil cultivators are fierce enough to fear death, perhaps the only thing in this world that truly makes them fear is the Dragonblood Legion.
The strong warriors from the major factions were suffering increasing casualties, but the remaining experts were growing stronger. The disciples of the Tianwu Alliance were cooperating more seamlessly, with higher and higher casualties.
Under Ye Lingshan's leadership, formations shifted back and forth, and large groups of blood clan warriors fell. Although Ye Lingshan did not fight alone, the Tianwu Alliance's kill efficiency ranked first on the entire battlefield.
Other factions relied on the personal strength of super powerhouses like Dan Xianzi, Tian Xiezi, and Kunpengzi as the main killing force. Although their individual combat power was terrifying, it was far less effective than the killing effect of the Tianwu Alliance's grand formation.
"Puff puff..."
Suddenly, a towering willow tree appeared, rooted itself on the battlefield, and single-handedly carved out a domain. It was Liu Ruyan who made her move.
Liu Ruyan is the Undying Nether Willow. Although the previous great battle consumed a terrifying amount of energy, she possessed yin-yang power and recovered very quickly. The others in the Dragon Blood Legion were still struggling to recover, but she had already recovered almost completely. She attacked again.
Liu Ruyan herself needed a vast amount of Ancient Essence Blood as energy for advancement, and she was extremely stubborn and proud at her core. She wanted to earn energy on her own and didn't want to use up the Dragon Blood Legion's resources. So, as soon as she recovered, she joined the battlefield.
Willow branches surged like sharp swords, shattering the blood clan experts into blood mist. The earth split open, willow roots swept across the land like dragons, killing with terrifying efficiency.
These blood clan members were only mid-to-lower tier, posed no threat to her, and could be killed without restraint.
The second to enter the battlefield was Chu Yao. Chu Yao was a wood cultivator, with deep spiritual energy, and recovered very quickly.
Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan joined forces, expanding a vast Domain of Death.
Fortunately, the battlefield was large enough, with everyone fighting separately and no one interfering with the other. The slightly recovered Dragonblood Legion warriors also entered the fray.
Xia Chen was assigned to Ye Lingshan's side to guide the formation changes, making killing more efficient and causing fewer casualties.
The Dragonblood warriors formed a killing formation, killing enemies while slowly recovering their strength. For them, the intensity of such a battle was too low to delay recovery.
After seven days, the blood clan experts gradually became scarce, and eventually they stopped attacking the Tianwu Continent and retreated deep into the Yin-Yang Realm.
Once the Blood Clan retreated, the experts of Tianwu Continent dared not attack head-on. If they exceeded the Imperial Seal's protective range, they would be attacked by a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert, which would be no different from courting death.
As the blood clan retreated, the strong warriors of Tianwu Continent also began to retreat one after another, returning to the continent.
"Looks like the vampires are changing their strategy—some useless cannon fodder."It was almost all used up, and the next attack might take a long time to appear. "At this moment, Long Chen's injuries had fully healed, and he spoke.
Even the Dao injuries left by a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert can be neutralized by the Yin-Yang Immortal Herb, though the process is very slow.
"Could it be that the Blood Clan is about to launch another super assault?" Alright, let's retrieve some more essence blood. Guo Ran rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Long Chen shook his head: "You're overthinking it. As long as the Emperor's will doesn't dissipate, I'm afraid they won't attack."
Once the Emperor's will fades, a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert will attack. At that time, if the Tianwu Continent lacks enough power, it will be slaughtered to a pulse of blood. "
How long will it take for the Emperor's will to collapse?" Guo Ran and the others were shocked. If the Emperor's will was gone and a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert came to attack, then the battlefield would be nothing for them to worry about.
"Elder Long said they can hold out for a few more months, but no one can give an exact number of times. So, this period is also the best time for everyone to break through to the Tongming Realm." Long Chen said.
As Long Chen spoke, he was secretly surprised. The Emperor's seal was artificially sabotaged, causing the seal to collapse prematurely.
Yet the Emperor's will remained unwavering, still guarding the Tianwu Continent, preventing the Blood Clan's fourth-step Tongming Realm experts from approaching and giving the continent a chance to catch its breath.
The strong warriors of the Tianwu Continent need to break through to the Tongming Realm as quickly as possible within the time the Great Emperor has secured, in order to have a chance to survive.
The Great Emperor had clearly died long ago, but everything seemed to be within his expectations, leaving hope for survival on the Tianwu Continent. If this was a coincidence, then it was too coincidental. If it weren't for coincidences, how would the Great Emperor have known what happened tens of thousands of years after his death? What kind of existence is the Great Emperor? This is just too terrifying.
Just as Long Chen predicted, the blood clan began to quiet down, and all the blood clan armies retreated deep into the Yin-Yang Realm. But no one knew exactly what they were doing.
No one dared to risk investigating. Without the protection of the Emperor's will, going there would be suicide. Moreover, the Divine Clan also required all major powers not to go out and spy; risking would be meaningless.
Thus, the major powers began to slowly withdraw from the Yin-Yang Realm, returning to their lairs one after another. Some young warriors had already started to comprehend the Realm of Life and Death, their bottlenecks showing signs of loosening, preparing to break through to the Tongming Realm.
Meanwhile, the older generation of experts began refining the essence blood collected on the battlefield, aiming to extract the Primordial Essence Blood as quickly as possible. Once these Yantian level disciples stepped into the Tongming Realm, they could use the Primordial Essence Blood.
Long Chen greeted Qu Jianying, Beitang Rushuang, Nangong Zuiyue, and the others, then returned to the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan. After returning to the Clan, Long Chen announced a collective retreat. This time, Long Chen issued an order: everyone must comprehend the power of life and death, because everyone didn't have much time left.
