Because Gu Han already deeply understood how unfathomable Jun Mo Xie was, rashly making an enemy of an existence like this, who was impossible to predict, was only courting a disaster. But there were too few people who understood this!
Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and straightened his back, glancing over at the erupting volcanoes in the south. He said slowly, “We should make our move now. The few of us shall split into a few teams and go and check the situation separately. Those from the three Holy Lands, you can make your own arrangements for the teams. As to contact between us, we shall…”
Then Jun Mo Xie began to draw a rough map of the surrounding geographical situation, and suggested a general plan as well as a way for both of them to keep in contact. Gu Han and the rest paid close attention, nodding their heads.
Jun Mo Xie’s tone was ordinary, but was full of confidence. He commanded casually and gave orders. Everything was just that natural.
Unknowingly, by a stroke of fate, all the higher ups of the three Holy and one Ferocious Lands had already acknowledged Jun Mo Xie as the leader in this war…
“Alright, we shall go with this for now. Let’s move separately.”Jun Mo Xie tossed the stone in his hand away as he stood up, the killing intent obvious in his eyes. “If the strange races do not come, forget it. But if they come, in this war, we absolutely must not let a single one of them back! If they have the guts to enter the Xuan Xuan Continent, then they shall bear the consequences of defeat and death!”
“Go!”
With this order, the experts from Heaven Saint Palace silently bolted away towards different directions.
“What should we do now?” Mei Xue Yan asked.
“We… should find out the whereabouts of Eagle King and Bear King first.” Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows. “Under this sort of violent volcanic eruption, the strange races should not have come over yet. I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling. Could it be that there are still more unexpected changes?”
Both of them exchanged glances and flew into the air at the same time. With a whoosh, two flashes of white cut across the skies and vanished quickly.
At the same time, on the other side of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, the Eagle-Bear Army had met with an unprecedented, enormous crisis!
Right now, the towering Pillar of Heavens Mountains had already collapsed into a pile of rubble. The ground was still shaking from this sudden disaster. Fire was spreading, smoke was choking the air. Almost thirty volcanoes erupted at the same time with tremendous might, as if it truly to rip the skies apart!
Even the toughest stones and metal would not be able to get past this deadly scene unscatched!
But there were no absolutes in the world! There would always be accidents!
The volcanic eruption was undoubtedly disastrous and covered a vast area. But… the Pillar of Heavens Mountains stretches for ten thousand li . There must be a portion that the volcano eruption was unable to cover. And although the temperature of these places had been brought up to a shocking degree due to the disaster, a temperature high enough to melt metal, but… to experts that had cultivations of Saint Emperors and above, it was still manageable.
And the bigger issue was that the strange races had always been segregated from the other sides of the Xuan Xuan Continent by the Pillar of Heavens Mountains! They were filled with urgency and the thirst to dominate this Continent!
The moment this natural stronghold was gone…
They immediately forced their way through from the spots they could come out from!
And the Eagle-Bear Kings had rushed all the way to Pillar of Heavens Mountains. Seeing this catastrophic sight, they were appalled. But at the same time, they understood that the situation was very dire.
They did not dare to make any delays. The Eagles carefully navigated through erupting volcanoes, dodging the threat from nature; the Bears carefully scoured the place for sight of the enemy. They instantly discovered the strange races that were surging in large numbers!
With no hesitation, both Kings gave the order to intercept them!
In the skies and on the ground, both teams discovered each other at the same time!
Like a bolt of thunder coming into contact with the fire on the ground!
Or like an adulterous couple, both parties. .h.i.tting it off, displaying their most flirtatious behaviour at the same time! Using their greatest pa.s.sion to unravel the most intense battle in their lives!
The moment the battle began, both Bear King and Eagle King b*tched incessantly! The battle against the strange races this time was unexpectedly tough!
Jun Mo Xie had not truly been to the southern territory of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains. His understanding of the strange races had already been from hearsay, so he was not clear of how tough the living conditions were on the side of the strange races.
The south of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains only has two seasons in an entire year: summer and winter.
When it was winter, the weather was freezing harsh. The temperature was usually at negative forty-five degrees. At its lowest temperatures, it could go down to negative eighty degrees. And when the temperatures were higher in the summer, it was the same as being being engulfed in flames…
The strange races that had managed to survive under such harsh climate all had extremely strong bodies. And every single one of the strange races had to cultivate. The reason was simple: when living in such a harsh living environment, not cultivating meant they were forsaking the chance to survive!
And on the other hand, cultivating with the mentality for survival, every single one of them was even more extreme! And strong!
And one more thing: the strange races were all conjoined hermaphrodites, which means every one of them had two sets of meridians in their bodies, which provided Yin and Yang to complement each other. In this way, they already had the advantage in physique. The physique that caused those from the Xuan Xuan Continent to look down upon had a great benefit. Cultivating in this mutually complementing manner, they advanced a lot faster than those from the Xuan Xuan Continent.
And most importantly, this thing… they could do double cultivation anytime, anywhere ah…
This was undoubtedly a great advantage ah…
Like a huge tidal wave, the strange races that came surging over were merely the few tribes that were near the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
The sudden collapse of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, that led to the eruption of volcanoes, had dealt a significant damage to the Xuan Xuan Continent, but it also greatly harmed the strange races. The eruption of the volcano had killed and injured many of the strange races. But there were still some that managed to get away, especially those that were stronger. This level of natural disaster was still not enough to be a threat to those who were truly powerful. And those tribes that were further away from the Pillar of Heavens Mountains did not suffer much losses, only merely being spooked.
And in their shock, there was also a thick sense of joy…
With the sudden collapse of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, the stream of air that had been blocked since ancient times went surging into the south of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains. This had let these strange races felt an indescribable, refres.h.i.+ng sensation!
This sensation motivated the strange races to charge through the Pillar of Heavens Mountains and invade the Xuan Xuan Continent! This was the greatest dream of generations of strange races!
The other side of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains had an abundance of water, plants, fertile soil, enchanting sceneries. What a beautiful place it was, ah.
In the Xuan Xuan Continent, the place that was most unsuitable for living, the harshest place, was the equivalent to Heaven to the strange races!
So when they saw the Pillar of Heavens Mountains collapse, the strange races from these few tribes gathered into teams and went charging in from this opening! With not the smallest bit of hesitation! Unafraid of death!
The volcano continued to erupt and there were countless obstacles, but none of it could hinder the strange races’ path to a better future!
And there were plenty of such openings that were not obstructed by the volcanoes along the Pillar of Heavens Mountains that stretched across a great span. There were a bunch of scoundrels that popped out of them, each of them bearing two heads and two bodies. In great numbers and in a frenzy.
If there was someone watching from the air, they would realize that it looked as if Pandora’s box had suddenly been opened! And the entire world was covered in monsters!
And this was not the most scary part. Because the most terrifying part was that these monsters were still popping out consecutively and endlessly!
Within these few tribes, the strongest was the h.e.l.l Enduring Ghosts’s Shangchuan Po Ku. Amongst all the strange races in the nearby territory, Shangchuan Po Ku’s strength was comparable to a demonic lord figure!
He had plenty of experts under him, ten thousands of Ninth Level Endurers, and the h.e.l.l Enduring Ghosts of the lowest and middle tiers amounted to about eighty.
Shangchuan Po Ku, with his lieutenant, Xiachuan Po Ku, were both madmen for war. Seeing the sudden collapse of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, both of them made the same decision at the same time: this was a heaven bestowed opportunity! It is the best opportunity for our race to break past the Pillar of Heavens Mountains and take over the Xuan Xuan Continent!
Thus, they did not care about the volcanoes or toxic fumes or the high temperatures, instantly gathering all their subordinates and charging right into Xuan Xuan Continent!
They were thinking, with this sort of treacherous weather, even if they were practically unable to endure it, then what more, those Xuan Xuan citizens who had been living in excellent condition? This entire journey would be un.o.bstructed! As long as they were able to charge into the area where humans resided, everything would be easy!
But they had never expected that the moment they just charged through the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, a huge sea of enemies greeted them!
The Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa!
And there was a considerable number of them! And any one of them was an experts with significant cultivation!
If not for the huge disparity in the numbers, they would be easily slaughtered!
Under Shangchuan Po Ku’s command, they all began to attack with no hesitation of death! As long as they entered this piece of land, then, even if they had to die, they must die on this piece of land!
They absolutely must not retreat back to that torturous south of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains!
That terrifying, nightmarish hometown!
Eagle King whistled, Bear King roared, and they both gave the order to attack.
Six thousand of them landed at the same time, and all the members of the Eagle clan transformed into human form and backed off. At the same time, the fighters from the Bear clan took a huge step forward!
The warriors from the Bear clan formed an impregnable line of defense for their comrades! Providing some time for the Eagles to get some rest and regain their energy. After all, they had flown a great distance all at one go! Practically all the Eagle fighters were already completely exhausted.
