Chapter 778: Star Destruction Tribe Invades, Just a Small Matter
“Although I don’t like to admit it, Zhan Xing’s combat strength is very powerful. It can be said that in this land, apart from the Venerable G.o.ds, no other G.o.ds, humans, or fierce beasts is his match.”
“This person not only possesses divine power, but he is also proficient in refining qi. Divine power aside, his prowess in refining qi alone has reached the High-rank Heavenly Imperial Realm. Saint Cang, are you really confident in beating him?”
Feng Gu said solemnly.
He glanced at Chu Kuangren.
There was still no trace of qi refining on the opponent’s body. Although the mind power he displayed was amazing, Feng Gu still felt a little skeptical.
“Oh, of course, I am.”
Chu Kuangren smiled faintly. A calm expression was etched on his face.
Zhan Xing alone was not enough to cause him any concern.
Shortly after.
The vast army of the Star Destruction Tribe was already approaching the Flame Bulwark Tribe. From a distance, there were soldiers armed with sabers and pikes, cavalry mounted on various wild beasts, and people beating the drums. The drum sounds were thunderous, and they reverberated through the land.
This army was vast and powerful.
Before they were nearing the Flame Bulwark Tribe, their innate ferocious qi had already covered the sky. The Manticore, the Thunder Beast, and several wild beasts who stood guard at the gates were so frightened by such an incredible force that they trembled. They did not feel like they could overcome their enemies at all.
“It’s terrifying. Has the human race evolved to such greatness?”
“With cultivation methods popularising over the last few years, the human race is no longer as weak as it used to be. It’s just shocking how capable they are of developing to this level.”
Several wild beasts were communicating.
Behind them was the Flame Bulwark Tribe army that was also waiting for battle. Standing at the very front of their army was none other than Chu Kuangren.
He looked into the distance and vaguely saw a magnificent golden chariot in front of the Star Destruction Tribe.
The chariot was pulled by a nine-headed Manticore, and on it was a mighty man in gold armor. He was sitting on a large animal leather chair with his arms tightly closed in front of his chest and a big sword in his hand, with his eyes slightly closed.
He sat there very steadily, like a sculpture.
Although his eyes were closed, his poise and aura were still extremely terrifying.
“It seems to me that this man is Zhan Xing. Lil Ai, help me a.n.a.lyze him.”
Chu Kuangren said in his mind.
With that, the Omniscient Spirit activated.
Information about Zhan Xing flowed into his mind.
“A DemiG.o.d who has t.i.tanic divine power and qi refining. No wonder he’s invincible against everyone in the world.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
If there were no Chu Kuangren, Zhan Xing would have very good prospects of becoming the leader of the human race. On top of his strength, his rival also had the support of the G.o.ds. On this basis alone, few would be able to compare with him.
Even the current AntiG.o.d Pavilion would not have enough power.
A while later.
The army of the Star Destruction Tribe arrived at Flame Bulwark Tribe.
There were at least a million of them.
An army of this size was still very rare in this era, not to mention the many strong cultivators among them.
The people of Flame Bulwark Tribe clasped their weapons tightly, their faces pale out of terror, and their bodies could not help but shake.
“Can we really beat such an army?”
The faiths of some soldiers were already wavering.
Even Yan Wu and Feng Gu could not keep the grim looks away on their faces.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. We still have Saint Cang.”
One of the soldiers said.
When everyone heard that, they all stared at the white figure standing at the frontline.
Chu Kuangren was wearing a white cloak. His body may look a little frail, but his posture looked more stalwart than everyone else.
The sight of that figure alone gave them a rea.s.suring feeling.
“Our saint truly is incredible to be able to face an army of this size so indifferently. It is as if the situation does not bother him at all.”
“Yes, that’s simply amazing.”
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren’s silhouette, with admiration in their eyes.
“The fact that the saint is so indifferent makes me feel at ease.”
Yan Wu said with a smile.
“It’s just a small matter.” Chu Kuangren laughed.
Upon hearing what he said, Yan Wu and Feng Gu’s mouths twitched several times. Did he just call this a small matter? In that case, what was regarded as a big matter?
He really lived up to his t.i.tle as a name. He was absolutely incomparable.
In fact, Chu Kuangren could not care less about this army that was coming at them at all. In his opinion, this army was not worth paying attention to in terms of their size, strength, equipment, and more.
After seeing hundreds of millions of troops and wars.h.i.+ps on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, facing this army is just like a trivial fight to him.
The Star Destruction Tribe’s army stopped in front of the Flame Bulwark Tribe.
A man riding a wild beast came forward and announced aloud, “We’re here in the name of the G.o.ds, and we’ve come to the Flame Bulwark Tribe for a crusade. However, the G.o.ds are kind. As long as you surrender and give us the G.o.dslayer Cang, the G.o.ds might be able to let this one go and spare all of you!”
His words caused a commotion in the crowd.
Yan Wu stood up and said, “Saint Cang has taught our tribe the marvelous ways of refining pills and weaponsmithing, and he has also saved the entire Flame Bulwark Tribe once. Hence, we owe our lives to him. We absolutely cannot and will not give him to the G.o.ds. If you want to wage a war, then war it shall be!”
“War, war!”
The Flame Bulwark Tribe’s army roared loudly.
Chu Kuangren gave lectures on the Dao in the Flame Bulwark Tribe, as well as taught them cultivation techniques, methods of refining tools, alchemy, and some survival experiences from the later generations. For example, they were smelting textiles, terrace planting, water conservancy, which had greatly improved people’s livelihood.
From the cultivators to ordinary folk of Flame Bulwark Tribe, all of them had ma.s.sive respect for Chu Kuangren. It could even be said that Chu Kuangren had even successfully replaced the G.o.ds in their places and become their whole new faith.
Now, the enemies were asking them to surrender their faith.
Why would they comply?
“Stubborn fools.”
The person who persuaded them to surrender let out a cold scoff before he turned and walked back to his army.
Then, a man dressed in tiger skin and had a fierce aura walked out from the army. “Since you’ve chosen not to surrender, only death awaits you. I am the Star Destruction Tribe’s Tormented Tiger! Now, which one of you is bold enough to fight me?”
Yan Wu’s expression was rather solemn. “This person is the Tormented Tiger, the best warrior in Star Destruction Tribe. He is so powerful that he has already affirmed his Dao as an Emperor.”
No matter the era, an Emperor could be regarded as an elite. There used to be only one Emperor in the Flame Bulwark Tribe too, which was Yan Wu.
“Let me have a go at him.” Atu, who was next to Yan Wu, said eagerly. He was wearing black armor and holding a spear.
“Atu, you’ve only just become an Emperor. I’m afraid this person is not your match.”
Yan Wu still had some concerns.
Atu, the top warrior of the Flame Bulwark Tribe, had become an Emperor under the guidance of Chu Kuangren. However, in terms of cultivation, he was still a lot worse than an elite such as Tormented Tiger, who had been an Emperor for so many years.
“Let him have a try.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Ha! See, the Saint has faith in me.”
Atu smiled in delight. He stepped forward and came before the Tormented Tiger, the Emperor aura on his body erupting into the sky.
“You, what’s your name?”
Tormented Tiger sneered.
“Flame Bulwark Tribe’s most elite warrior, Atu!”
Atu responded loudly.
“Judging by your aura, you must have just ascended into the Emperor Realm not long ago. How can someone with your strength think of beating me?”
The Tormented Tiger jeered and dished out the long-handled saber in his hand.
Atu also took the spear in his hand and stabbed it toward his enemy.
The long saber and the long spear clashed violently into each other. Despite Atu’s much inferior cultivation base, he managed to hold his own against the Tormented Tiger on the battlefield.
“How is this possible?!” Tormented Tiger’s face changed slightly.
Then, he let out a furious roar, and the long-handled saber in his hand swung repeatedly at his opponent, hitting the spear in Atu’s hand strike after strike.
His combat skills were very brilliant, and it did not take long before he grasped his opponent’s weakness. With a yank of his saber, he slashed Atu’s body and blasted his opponent off his feet.
“Pfft, so that’s all you got.” Tormented Tiger scoffed coldly.
“Are you trying to tickle your granddaddy Atu?”
Suddenly, an unscathed Atu was seen standing upright.
The soldiers on the Star Destruction Tribe’s camp stared wide-eyed when they saw this.
