Chapter 736 The Final Battlefield
Those civilians and soldiers of the Dark Yellow Army being slaughtered had black hair, black eyes, and white skin.
Li Mu suddenly felt like he was also at the scene. Those people were obviously his compatriots and relatives.
“Qingyun, hurry up and run…” A Dark Yellow Soldier, whose leg was wounded, brandished his sword and rushed toward the rebels of the Blue Wave Clan.
His pregnant wife said goodbye to him with tears in her eyes, turned around and ran toward the flying shuttle with their three-year-old daughter.
They might never see each other again for the rest of their lives.
Tears rolled down his wife’s cheeks.
She rushed onto the flying shuttle with her daughter. When she looked back, her husband and his comrades-in-arms were already besieged by the green-armored rebels. Blood was flowing on the land that should be kept beautiful and peaceful.
“Dad, Dad, come back quickly.”
The three-year-old girl clung to the side of the flying shuttle, cried and shouted to her father. As a child, she didn’t know what her father was doing, but she felt sad. At this time, she wanted nothing but her father, and she just wanted her father by her side.
“Ha-ha, are you trying to escape?”
Vicious laughter came from the sky.
The Blue Wave Clan’s flying shuttle came to chase them down.
Amidst the sounds of explosions, the life-saving shuttle was bombarded several times, and it was in imminent danger.
“Mummy, I’m scared…” The little girl sobbed, and her small body was trembling.
The young wife’s eyes flashed with hatred.
Just then, some women and old people on the flying shuttle flew out like streaks of light and rushed toward the pursuers.
“For those who can still fight, come with me to fight against the enemy. Protect our children.” The white-haired old man piloting the flying shuttle drew the long sword from his waist and shouted loudly, “We shall not forget the blood feud. We must preserve the bloodline of the Dark Yellow Army…”
This old general who had made many military achievements rushed toward the enemy.
Many injured soldiers and women on the flying shuttle rose into the air to stop the enemy.
“Please.”
“Take good care of my son.”
They looked affectionately at their children on the flying shuttle and then rushed toward the Blue Wave Clan’s flying shuttle without looking back. Even if they couldn’t fight and had to sacrifice themselves, they had to buy time for their children and compatriots.
“Zhen’er, I’m leaving to kill the enemy. If you miss me and your younger brother, you can see us in your dreams.” The young wife handed her three-year-old daughter to a six-year-old boy beside her.
She gently stroked her protruding belly, her face bathed in tears, and said, “My dear child, I’m sorry that I can’t let you come to this world. Don’t hate me. If possible, I will repay you well in the next life.”
She pulled out a long spear inserted into the deck beside her, soared into the air, and rushed toward the enemy’s flying shuttle resolutely.
This time, she was surely going to die.
She would die with regrets.
She would die with regrets but no complaint.
Boom!
The sound of a violent explosion rang out. Blood dyed the sky red.
Amidst the splas.h.i.+ng blood drops and flying broken bones, the flying shuttle broke through the encirclement with the pa.s.sengers’ prayers. However, when it was about to fly out of the planet, a king-level master of the Blue Wave Clan caught up with it and cut it in half with his sword.
Li Mu was boiling with anger and grief, and he almost exploded with rage.
When he watched the image in the sky, he realized that the fate of the people completely depended upon the life-saving flying shuttle. He initially thought that under the cover and protection of the brave fighters of the Dark Yellow Army, the flying shuttle that carried thousands of boys and girls, the last bloodlines of the base planet, could escape safely. However, it turned out that…
The flying shuttle broke and fell toward the ground.
Li Mu saw the boys and girls curling up in the broken shuttle, holding each other’s hands, and encouraging each other in tears and horror. Having lost their protection, they finally turned into ashes together with the broken shuttle amidst explosions and flames…
Li Mu was boiling with rage.
The anger almost burned himself.
Indescribable grief surged in his soul.
He knew very well that those were what happened to his ancestors and compatriots thousands of years ago.
“The enemy is unforgivable.”
Killing intent welled up and surged through him.
“Ah, ah, ah…” The giant demonic corpse that had turned into a handsome young man named Li Tian roared loudly. He couldn’t believe what happened after his death.
The East Forest Clan and the Blue Wave Clan were both human clans in the Star River.
Back then, the Dark Yellow Army rescued them from the ma.s.sacre and persecution of Extraterritorial Demons, taught them the way of cultivation, and ignited their civilization. In the end, they became the most trusted allied clans of the Dark Yellow Army. Unexpectedly, they eventually betrayed the Dark Yellow Army and slaughtered so many people of the Dark Yellow Army.
Their betrayal was the most intolerable thing.
“Ah-ah-ah! The East Forest Clan and the Blue Wave Clan, I’ll kill all of you!” Li Tian couldn’t take it anymore. He roared angrily, soared to the sky, and charged at the ancestors of the East Forest Clan and the Blue Wave Clan.
With a disdainful look on his face, the ancestor of the Blue Wave Clan shook his head slightly. “You’re just a dead body. I’ve refined you for thousands of years. How dare you go against me? Ashes to ashes, dust to dust… I’m going to put you to eternal slumber today.”
He struck out at Li Tian with a handprint with divine runes.
The power of the runes that had been embedded in Li Tian’s giant body for thousands of years broke out. As a loud boom was heard, his body exploded and turned into clouds of black powder that dissipated in the air.
Wisps of black paint fell into the hand of the ancestor of the Blue Wave Clan.
Li Mu subconsciously reached out his hand to the sky, but he could do nothing to change what had happened.
A trace of sadness flashed in the clear eyes of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, but he didn’t do anything.
He could not reverse death.
The dead warrior finally entered into eternal rest. It was a kind of relief for him.
While the ancestor of the Blue Wave Clan laughed wildly, the image in the sky revealed what happened later.
Back then, the Dark Yellow Army dominated the Star River. There were ten major clans subordinate to it, including the Heavenly Deity Clan, the Demonic Snake Abyss, the Heavenly Fox Clan, and the Nether Ghost Clan. However, the six major clans betrayed the Dark Yellow Army one after another for their own interests, territories, and Cultivation Methods…
The other four clans chose to fight against the Dark Yellow Army until the end. They would rather die than submit to the Dark Yellow Army, but in the end, they were exterminated one after another.
“You… They actually colluded with the Extraterritorial Demons…?”
The giant dragon-eating ape, Rock, suddenly opened its eyes wide in shock and anger.
An extremely strange force appeared on the image in the sky. They were like ghosts, demons, or monsters. Wherever they pa.s.sed, they devoured all living creatures and even the energy of the planet.
They were a kind of very scary human-shaped creatures with ferocious faces, tentacles, and black skins covered with scales. They devoured and swallowed the flesh of all living creatures like wild beasts.
Like locusts, they only brought death and destruction to all the places that they pa.s.sed.
The Dark Yellow Army suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat in the war, and the betrayal of the six major clans was not the only reason for that. The sudden revolt of the six major clans only caused the Dark Yellow Army to suffer losses. The real reason why they suffered heavy losses on the frontal battlefield was that the Extraterritorial Demons joined the war.
More importantly, those Extraterritorial Demons did not come from the frontlines.
“d.a.m.n it…” The giant dragon-eating ape, Rock, finally understood.
When the most powerful masters, the most elite troops, the most outstanding warriors, the wisest generals, and the most sophisticated war crafts of the Dark Yellow Army were gathered at the frontlines to fight against the Extraterritorial Demons, the six major clans betrayed the Dark Yellow Army one after another, opened the s.p.a.ce-time wormholes at the rear of the defensive line, and slaughtered the soldiers of the Dark Yellow Army in collaboration with the Extraterritorial Demons at the rear.
Had it not been for the betrayal of the six major clans, the Dark Yellow Army would have expelled the Extraterritorial Demons from the Ziwei Star Zone and brought peace to it.
Li Mu somewhat understood the history.
Those so-called Extraterritorial Demons should be creatures outside the Ziwei Star Zone. They once ruled the Ziwei Star Zone and slaughtered and persecuted the living creatures in the Ziwei Star Zone from time to time, as if they were harvesting chives and raising pigs.
The Dark Yellow Army could have saved the Ziwei Star Zone.
However, it was betrayed by the clans at its side.
It was a tragic event that happened before history.
On the image in the sky, Li Mu saw that Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, who was alive then, commanded the Dark Yellow Army to fight against the enemy and protect the people, heading towards the frontlines of the battle between the Dark Yellow Army and the Extraterritorial Demons.
The Dark Yellow Army did not mobilize too many reinforcements from the frontlines to fight against the Extraterritorial Demons because the war at the frontlines had entered a critical stage. If they won, they would usher in external peace in the Ziwei Star Zone, but if they lost, all the living creatures in the Ziwei Star Zone would be slaughtered.
What surprised and shocked Li Mu the most was that the frontline area looked very familiar to him.
“Is that… the solar system or the Earth?”
Li Mu was surprised to find that the frontline area on the image in the sky looked very similar to the solar system. Although it was the solar system that existed thousands of years ago, there was no great difference between it and today’s solar system.
In the end, the Dark Yellow Army gained the upper hand in the final battle.
Countless G.o.ds of the Dard Yellow Army had perished.
However, when the war on the final battlefield was about to end, the news of the six major clans’ betrayal came from the rear. Bai Jun the G.o.d of War got out of the battlefield with the remaining soldiers of the Dark Yellow Army.
Li Mu couldn’t clearly see what happened later.
The battlefield was sealed.
Layers of seals isolated the Dark Yellow Army and the invading Extraterritorial Demons. The light dimmed, as if the battlefield was engulfed in a broken s.p.a.ce.
“The G.o.ds activated the forbidden formation of ‘s.p.a.ce-time isolation’, which eternally isolated and sealed the battlefield…” the giant dragon-eating ape shouted loudly.
There was still hope.
The last troop of the Dark Yellow Army walked out of the sealed battlefield, joined Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, and fought a decisive battle outside the battlefield.
Li Mu saw that the six major clans betrayed the Extraterritorial Demons. They made a temporary peace with the Dark Yellow Army, which was determined to wipe out the demons, and eliminated the invading Extraterritorial Demons in collaboration with the Dark Yellow Army.
However, they betrayed the Dark Yellow Army again in the end.
The six major clans besieged the remaining forces of the Dark Yellow Army.
