The battlefield.
Corpses lay on the ground, trampled carelessly.
Blood flowed, gathering into pools of gore.
Resentment rose, and the temperature began to drop.
Countless death energies converged into small whirlwinds, constantly growing.
The concentration of necromantic energy here was too dense; if the lich of the undead race were to arrive, they would surely rejoice.
For with a mere wave of their hand, countless undead creatures would rise.
Unfortunately, they were currently confined to the northern lands, uninterested in the Guixu, and of course, not welcomed here, as Guixu also had its own native undead.
At this very moment.
Lin Yu was hiding underground, cautiously moving forward along the tunnel.
His goal was to leave this place; the battlefield was too dangerous. It was better to secure himself first.
He walked and walked.
Being underground, he did not fear detection, as he was far from the surface, a distance that even the perception of a ninth-tier expert could not penetrate.
Despite this, one problem gave him a considerable headache.
The underground situation was extremely complex. In the section he had traversed, he had already encountered and dealt with several attacks from seventh-tier underground fierce beasts. Fortunately, his strength was extraordinary, and he resolved them with ease.
"Hmph, more and more fierce beasts are appearing underground. I need to get out of here quickly!"
Roar!
Suddenly, another underground fierce beast charged forward.
Lin Yu fixed his gaze and saw it was a giant ant-like fierce beast. Its eyes gleamed with a chilling light, and its mouthful of sharp fangs was terrifying.
Damn it, it was an eighth-tier fierce beast.
Lin Yu retreated a few steps, raising his guard.
"I'll spare your life!" Lin Yu grunted, using his Sparrow Step to bypass the beast and quickly move away.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from above him, as if the earth itself was shifting. He was greatly alarmed, thinking it was an earthquake, and hurried his pace.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!
Suddenly, it vibrated again, and the tunnel finally couldn't withstand the pressure, collapsing with a deafening roar.
Seeing this, Lin Yu realized he couldn't stay underground any longer and immediately used his Sparrow Step to teleport towards the surface.
Upon reaching the surface, he soon noticed a colossal earthworm emerging from the ground not far away.
This earthworm was enormous; the exposed portion alone was over a thousand meters long.
"This must be a ninth-tier fierce beast, right?" Lin Yu murmured to himself, gazing at the behemoth.
Suddenly, the ground shook again. Lin Yu quickly used his Phantom Soul Technique and Concealed Wind, hiding his form as he fled into the distance.
Although these two skills couldn't deceive ninth-tier experts, they were sufficient to fool those at the eighth tier. With a bit of caution, it would allow him to move freely across the battlefield.
"Damn it, what's happening now?" Feeling the tremors from all around, he followed the sound and suddenly another colossal creature came into view.
It was a gigantic marmot, but it was a hundred meters long and had a single, drill-like horn on its head, emitting a chilling glow.
"A tunnel boring machine? Damn it, another ninth-tier fierce beast!"
Suddenly, Lin Yu noticed the two fierce beasts charging towards the corpses on the ground.
Only then did Lin Yu understand; they had been attracted by the scent of blood.
The addition of these two behemoths threw the battlefield into chaos. The ninth-tier powerhouses on both sides were unwilling to provoke them, so they simply stayed put in the center of the battlefield, beginning to feast.
On the edge of the battlefield, the Frost Dog clan was locked in a fierce battle with the human race.
Transforming into its true Celestial Dog form, a black moon on its forehead glowed faintly, becoming a massive black orb that emitted a corrosive black light, charging towards the human army.
The summoner shouted, "Heavenly Sparrow!"
"Caw~"
A white giant bird with a wingspan of hundreds of meters emerged from the summoning space, letting out a cry.
As soon as it appeared, gusts of wind and clouds rose around it. The wind pushed the clouds, swirling around the bird, making it appear incredibly divine.
It elegantly turned its head and looked at the summoner.
The summoner pointed to the black moon ahead and said, "Heavenly Sparrow, this skill is extremely troublesome, but it cannot corrode energy. Blow them away for me!"
The black moon hung in the sky, corroding all matter and turning the surroundings desolate.
Suddenly, a white giant bird blocked the path of the black moon.
With a gentle flap of its wings, a gust of hurricane-force wind was unleashed. With another flap, clouds followed, enveloping the black moon and transforming it into a white moon.
Caw~
It let out a triumphant cry to the sky.
The summoner shouted, "Heavenly Sparrow, use 'Heavenly Wind Cloud Shadow'!"
Caw!
The Heavenly Sparrow cried out to the sky, and in the next moment, it spat out streams of whirlwinds. The whirlwinds converged, then merged with the clouds on its body, forming a substance resembling cotton candy, which flew towards the Moon Devourer.
"Wrap it up and throw it away!"
Caw!
The Heavenly Sparrow waved its claws, wrapping up all the black moons and flinging them far away.
This scene stunned the Frost Dog clan.
"As expected, your human race has obtained the Moon Devouring skill, otherwise, why would you know its weakness!"
"Humans, you are doomed. Today, your human race will be annihilated!"
"We are descendants of the Celestial Dogs, and this is not our only secret technique."
A gigantic Celestial Dog slowly walked out.
It roared to the sky and chanted, "Moon Return!"
Boom!
Black moons traversed space and rapidly returned, shrinking back to their positions on their foreheads.
This sight surprised the surrounding humans.
They had once seen from afar how the Wolf Head tribe had blown away the Moon Devourer, thus understanding its weakness, but they had not expected it to be able to retrieve them across space.
"The previous Moon Devouring method was merely the most rudimentary application. Today, we shall let you witness another ability of Moon Devouring!"
All the Frost Dogs roared in unison, and the Moon Devourer flew out, hovering above their gaping mouths.
"Moon Devouring True Armor!"
Boom!
The Moon Devourer slowly melted, transforming into a suit of armor that attached itself to their bodies.
This scene caused the human race to exclaim in surprise.
"Not good, their entire bodies are now covered in Moon Devouring. Even without getting close to us, the mere radiance of the Moon Devourer can harm humans."
"Everyone, do not confront its full power directly. Stall them for now! Reinforcements are arriving!"
"Very well, this humble monk shall hold them off!"
The divine monk, radiating golden light, stepped forward. His movements were as swift as lightning as he struck out with a palm.
"Primordial Yang Shakyamuni Palm!"
As the palm struck out, it seemed to contain a Buddhist kingdom, covering half the sky.
A ninth-tier expert of the Frost Dog clan snorted and spat out a stream of frost, which immediately formed blades, spears, swords, and halberds, attacking the divine monk.
Boom!
The Buddhist palm blocked the incoming attack and clashed with the frost.
The ice shattered, and the Buddhist palm also became covered in cracks.
With a crack, the frost was reduced to dust, but a figure suddenly lunged at the divine monk.
"Be careful!" shouted Lord Yan.
The divine monk roared, his eyes burning with golden fire. With a loud thud, his robes tore, revealing his golden physique.
"Today, I shall engage in close combat with all of you!"
He clasped his hands in a bow before assuming a fighting stance.
"Shakyamuni Combat Arts!!"
