Chapter 1039: Chapter 1022: Breaking the Seal Imminent, The Beginning of the Counterattack! [Subscribe!]

Humming!

The Death Qi Bead had gathered the death qi that had been silent for countless years, and touching it was like attaching bone maggots that eroded flesh and blood.

"Feng Hu, how dare you betray our clan!" Elder Yu exclaimed in shock as a shadow loomed over him, followed closely by the appearance of a double-headed flying winged tiger.

This was the lifebound warbeast of Elder Yu, an exotic beast that had grown up with him from a young age.

This was also what made the Imperial Beast Clan most frightening to the human clan, a race favored by heaven and earth, naturally endowed with the talent to tame lifebound warbeasts, and truly integrated with their warbeasts.

However, natural favor couldn’t withstand the erosion of acquired factors. Nowadays, in the Beast Underworld, due to the propagation of time, warriors possessing noble-blooded warbeasts had become increasingly rare, as high-noble bloodline exotic beasts had become extremely scarce due to the long years of depletion.

In today’s Beast Underworld, ordinary warbeasts may not be uncommon, but noble-blooded imperial beasts, except in some long-inheriting great clans and in ancient forests in remote areas of the Beast Underworld, are only sparsely present, now beyond the sight of ordinary Beast-controlling Clan members, making many warriors in the Imperial Beast Clan now completely without warbeast contracts.

In this Void Rift Battle, the Imperial Beast Clan spared no expense, summoning six thousand War Masters to join the battle, which was the combined total of the War Masters from the Demon Clan, Blood Clan, and Scorpion Clan. One reason was for exotic beasts, and the other was due to depletion, as the Small World was already hard-pressed to support all members of the Imperial Beast Clan.

Similarly, the Supreme Wind Clan refused other aristocratic families from participating, and having warbeasts was one of the reasons. The Desolate Wilds of the Human World, as the ancestral land of the Hundred Clans, was also the birthplace of ferocious beasts, thus naturally abounding in noble-blooded exotic beasts.

The struggle of the Void Path was naturally all seen by Xiao Chen, whose shock was compounded by the intense internal strife among the exotic clans, never expecting such a dramatic scene to occur.

Roar!

Amidst the echoing roars of the tiger, Feng Hu was forced to flee in embarrassment, constantly ducking and dodging along the Void Path.

And Elder Yu began the final step, completely opening the seal, when at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a figure appearing.

"You..."

His pupils shrank; he actually saw a member of the human race, looking at him from a short distance with a seemingly smiling expression!

How did the human pass through the Eight-direction Moon-blocking Array!

However, as his mind raced, he suddenly realized that the human in front of him had disappeared, and his entire body was inexplicably flung into the air, knocked down from the bloody high platform.

"Damn it, kill him!"

The appearance of Xiao Chen immediately made Elder Yu sense a deep crisis. Mid-air, his body bizarrely spun around, breaking through the setback, and charging at Xiao Chen!

However, he found himself unable to launch an attack, as if he had already left his body, a scene of extreme terror, watching his own body being controlled by someone else while his consciousness remained clear.

"Don’t!"

Elder Yu was immensely terrified, for in his pupils, a reflection of an ancient stone gate emerged.

"Gate of Reincarnation, Soul Sinking!"

Elder Yu, horrified, struggled in his eyes, but overwhelmed by the ancient and bewildering aura emanating from the stone gate, he merely struggled briefly before his expression became one of tranquil serenity.

A ghostly figure emerged from Elder Yu’s body, attempting to walk towards the stone gate, while Xiao Chen, driven by a thought, abruptly penetrated the Elder’s soul body, beginning to sift through Elder Yu’s memories.

A half-king powerhouse, easy for Xiao Chen to shock and kill, but to seize his mind, had it not been for undergoing the ordeal of the Sea of Suffering of soul, it would have been nearly impossible.

Suddenly, the soul light flashed, and Elder Yu’s soul body began to annihilate, and at the same time, his lifebound warbeast also stood still, its soul vanishing along with it!

"Don’t kill me!"

In the Void Path, only Feng Hu remained, easily controlled by Xiao Chen, but he did not kill him; instead, he bound him and imprisoned him within the Mountain River Seal, with Luli present, making it impossible for him to employ any tactics.

Hum!

Negotiating a spell, the previously mist-ascending Eight-direction Moon-blocking Array disintegrated, and Xiao Chen collected the pieces of the Array Disk.

Having acquired all the memories of an Elder of the Supreme Wind Clan, Xiao Chen gained not only this Array Disk but also the steps for breaking the seal thereafter.

He also learned about all sorts of details regarding the entire Supreme Wind Clan and the various situations in the entire Beast Underworld!

Looking up towards the seal, only a layer of illusory streaming light remained, supporting it, covered with coiling and dense black patterns, already torn beyond recognition, seemingly about to shatter before long.

It seems, even without Elder Yu, the seal might not last much longer and is likely to burst within a month, having already been corroded into a shell!"

Having removed the Eight-direction Moon-blocking Array, Lord Qingjiao naturally followed, looking at the continuously rippling seal with a hint of concern, he said.

Whew!

Xiao Chen exhaled and remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on the array. Through Elder Yu’s memories, he understood the true reason behind the seal from years past.

"Heavenly Fate of the King?" he muttered to himself as his spiritual will swept over the seal repeatedly, trying to find any trace of the Purple Snake Venerable. But he found nothing!

...

"So, the seal is about to be broken!"

In the Tribal Grand Hall of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the astonished cry of Ziyang God Marquis could be heard.

At this moment in the grand hall, the energy surged violently, with several obscure energies clashing against one another.

Xiao Chen sat in the chief seat, with figures such as the Lord of the Border Wasteland, Ziyang God Marquis, Chunmu Old Ancestor, Lord Qingjiao, and other silent strong ones from the Border Wasteland summoned by Chunmu Old Ancestor around him.

Shui Fu Chen, Back Mountain Ghost, an old woman who kept her husband’s integrity and called herself Grandma of Snow Mountain, and two others, Tai Si Ming and Lie Shan Yan, were also present.

Besides her, there was a woman whose divine presence seemed to make her a goddess from the heavenly planes, Tiantai Xuan!

One could say that the warriors gathered here were the strongest in the Entire Border Wilderness Domain.

A full ten half-king powerhouses!

"Indeed," Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.

For those who just returned from hiding, Xiao Chen, the Lord of the Border Wasteland and holder of the title God Marquis—a glory not seen in the entire border wilderness domain for a long time—was of particular curiosity.

No wonder Chunmu Old Ancestor had, upon his imperial command, awoken them!

Compared to other warriors, these hidden strong ones could have traveled to other Human Race Territories or ventured into the starry sky and dangerous lands in search of their fate. Yet, they chose to remain hidden in the Border Wasteland, hoping to pull it back from the brink of crisis when disaster strikes.

"Elders, the Imperial Beast Clan has already assembled a large number of War Soldiers on the other side of the Void Path. They are only waiting for the seal to break to invade the Human Realm!" Xiao Chen said, still maintaining a hint of respect.

Within the Human Race, disputes are real, but isn’t it the same among the Hundred Clans of Heaven? Even as they form alliances against the Human Race, there exists discord among them.

Beyond these disputes, there are still warriors holding up the spine of their races, like Chunmu Old Ancestor and Shui Fu Chen, the old generation of strong ones from the Border Wasteland!

"Does the marquis intend to wait until the seal is broken to clash with the Imperial Beast Clan? In that case, our warriors from the Border Wasteland may not have the upper hand." Shui Fu Chen sighed softly. They had once experienced a bloody battle with the Imperial Beast Clan and understood the might of their warriors.

"The Wind Wolf Iron Cavalry of the Ji Feng Clan had once trampled through the mountains and rivers of our Border Wilderness Region, burying hundreds of millions of our clan members under their Iron Hooves. Our warriors are hard-pressed to withstand their edge!"

"Senior Shui, I am fully aware that our Human Race does not hold an advantage. Thus, I would naturally not send our warriors to engage in a bloody battle. Although we have drafted nearly five million warriors from our region, and the number is still increasing, their strength is uneven and cannot block the Imperial Beast Clan’s offensive!"

As he spoke, a fluctuation of soul power appeared at Xiao Chen’s brow, and suddenly, a sphere of soul power appeared in the middle of the grand hall.

"This is the memory obtained from an elder of the Ji Feng Clan who I killed. It contains the various arrangements of the Ji Feng Clan!"

Immediately, numerous spiritual wills surged within the grand hall, penetrating the sphere of soul power. In the blink of an eye, every warrior knew the memories within the soul sphere.

"Yuji Kei, that old fellow has escaped back to the Beast Underworld. He’s still not dead!"

"Ji Feng Clan, as expected, is well-prepared. Three hundred thousand Wind Wolf Iron Cavalry have already assembled on the other side of the passage, just waiting for the seal to break. They will use the Wind Wolf Iron Cavalry as the spearhead to tear through the human resistance and invade the Human World!"

The Wind Wolf Iron Cavalry, being the most elite War Soldiers of the Ji Feng Clan, comprises warriors who have tamed wind wolves as their Lifebound Warbeasts.

Besides, this contingent of soldiers is fully equipped with three-zhang long spears and heavy armor, armed to the teeth. Even the resource-rich Ji Feng Clan could only afford to equip three hundred thousand of them!

Once upon a time, it was this cavalry that trampled the mountains and rivers of the Border Wasteland. Now, this devastating military force of the Imperial Beast Clan has reappeared, threatening to re-enact the catastrophe of ten thousand years ago.

Now they understood why Xiao Chen had proposed such a radical plan—to counter-invade the Imperial Beast Clan, preventing another trampling of the Border Wasteland.

Repelling the enemy outside their ancestral land was the only way to preserve the Border Wasteland Human Tribe’s bloodline!

"Elders, surely you have witnessed the terror of the Wind Wolf Iron Cavalry yourselves. With less than a month left until the seal breaks, I intend to draft an elite force from the Towering Realm and accompany me into the Beast Underworld," Xiao Chen said, his eyes gleaming with lethal intent, his lips curling coldly, uttering chilling words, "To turn their world upside down, to let blood flow like rivers!"
