Chapter 1294: Chapter 1252: Ancient Ruins Devastation Attack!

Looking down at the city below, Bu Canghai furrowed his brows even more tightly. Born with the Hidden Soul and possessing a peculiar spirit, especially now that he was in the Half-King Peak Realm, his perception of the world had become increasingly clear.

It wasn’t the desperate resistance of the Qingyang Divine Race that gave him this odd feeling.

The Gu Yuan Tribe had attacked several times, and the city of the Qingyang Divine Race had been bombarded just as many times. The bombardments had not broken their spirits; rather, it appeared that these members of the Divine Clan had long been prepared to meet their death.

"Are you saying that the Qingyang Divine Race is equivalent to top Legendary Forces, with such profound heritage?"

Suddenly, Xiao Bangtu furrowed his brow and spoke.

Indeed, the Gu Yuan Tribe’s Void Battleship had already bombarded this city multiple times. The various siege weapons in the city below had long been destroyed beyond count.

Yet, faced with another attack from the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Green Sheep Clan Members had once again pushed out countless defensive instruments from the shadows, exceeding both their expectations.

"Xiao Commander, have you noticed that these instruments and the Divine Tribe below are not from the same source? There are fundamental differences, clearly not crafted by these divine beings."

Following closely, Bu Canghai voiced his observation.

"With so many Divine Artifacts and Weapons, it’s also impossible that they brought these from the Holy Realm during their migration. These instruments possess an aura of decay, clearly having undergone many years."

"Unless..."

Suddenly, Xiao Bangtu and Bu Canghai exchanged glances.

These defensive instruments were opportunities obtained by the Divine Tribe from this Small World.

Once enlightened, they quickly grasped the full scope of the situation.

The position of the Qingyang Divine Race could be considered as a remote area under the governance of Rainwood City, extremely secluded—to the point of almost leaving the control of Rainwood City.

Moreover, within these ancient forests and mountain ranges, no significant resources appeared. It is known that this Small World had nurtured itself for too long, whether it was Spirit Medicine, Spirit Items, or even mineral deposits, they all regenerated.

Logically speaking, choosing a tribal land would inevitably mean a place abundant in resources and rich in spiritual energy. However, the location chosen for Qingyang City, aside from having lush trees, did not have abundant spiritual energy.

The Gu Yuan Tribe had already traversed this vast land. Even within ten thousand miles around this area, there were three places with richer spiritual energy than this location, yet Qingyang City was established here!

Tribal Relics!

Xiao Bangtu and Bu Canghai thought of this situation simultaneously. If indeed ancient Tribal Relics existed here, then it made sense for Qingyang City to be situated here!

"If that’s really the case, the Divine Tribe below shouldn’t be so fiercely unafraid of death. Why don’t they seize the opportunity to break out and return after we retreat?"

Bu Canghai pondered aloud.

His words, however, elicited a loud laugh from Xiao Bangtu, who said, "Because they know they can’t escape. Once they leave the city, without the defensive instruments, they would be annihilated even faster by us, divided and conquered. Leaving the city is seeking death, so they must fight."

"Their fierce resistance against our Gu Yuan Tribe, apart from having an indomitable feud with our Human Race, must be supported by a will—the hope of resurgence!"

It must be said, Xiao Bangtu’s analysis was spot-on.

Placed in a dead land to seek revival, for the Qingyang Divine Race, seeking death was also seeking life. As long as the Human Race retreated, even if they all died, their descendants and bloodline would survive, essentially extending their life.

Their death, their descendants’ survival, seeking life through death!

This was also why many tribes, at the verge of annihilation, would desperately send their children away.

"Commander, this is just our speculation, and we haven’t seen any descendants leaving the city."

Bu Canghai spoke again.

"Protecting the bloodline doesn’t only require escaping. If they’re hidden well, we won’t be able to discover them. Once we retreat, they will still survive."

"If it really is as we suspect, with relics existing, perhaps the Qingyang people have already hidden within the relics. Look at the fall of the Divine Clan members under the bombardment of my Gu Yuan cannons; how many have fallen now, and how many were there in the city when we first arrived?"

Bu Canghai’s spiritual will swept over the Void again. Although some Divine Clan members were completely obliterated, he could still roughly estimate that all the corpses added up, and the Divine Clan members on the city walls—compared to when they arrived—the city’s population had decreased by about fifty thousand.

Fifty thousand couldn’t have just evaporated.

"A Legendary Force, no matter how powerful, how could it contend with my Gu Yuan Tribe? Since this is the case, let’s completely obliterate it!"

Bu Canghai’s voice turned chilling, the resistance of the Qingyang Divine Race had increased his intent to kill, and now the potential existence of the relics added yet another capital offense.

"I’ve already communicated our findings to the nearby fleets. Once this city is taken, we’ll see what exactly is hiding!"

Xiao Bangtu spoke again, responsible for commanding the War Soldiers, while Bu Canghai focused on eliminating the enemy’s strong ones.

"Master, why are the Human Race retreating?"

Above the city walls, a voice arose, pulling the gaze of the Qingjia Divine Race from the Sky Vault.

"Go prepare. Let the tribe begin gathering at the entrance to that mysterious place, ready to perform a blood sacrifice to seal the entrance."

"Master!"

Upon hearing the Qingjia Divine Race’s words, the surrounding Divine Clan Warriors were greatly shocked, their eyes simultaneously betraying a hint of despair.

"The Human race has already perceived our intentions, and with such a multitude of bizarre offensive weapons exuding an ancient and vast aura, which are totally different from those of our Divine Clan, where else could they have been obtained if not from the relics?"

The Qingjia Divine Race, with a determined look, harbored a killing intent that quickly dissipated because he understood that should the Human race invade the Divine Realm, they would not come with just this level of strength.

He could fend them off temporarily, but it would not hold for long.

The retreat of the Human race was not a withdrawal but an accumulation of strength, waiting for the final assault; perhaps this was the last glory of his Qingyang Divine Race.

Thus, he must gather the entire tribe’s strength to preserve the last hope of the Qingyang Divine Race!

"Yes!"

Following the words of the Qingjia Divine Race, the profound despair in the eyes of the surrounding Divine Clan Warriors dissipated, replaced by firmness.

Qingyang would not perish; they would not concede!

Even in death, they would preserve that final hope!

A hundred zhang underground at the center of Qingyang City lay a vast and bizarre space, covered by a faint mysterious yellow light shield.

At the center of this space was an object resembling a glowing gate, merely a few zhang in circumference and shimmering with radiant light, laid flat on the ground—clearly, the entrance to the ruins, which lay even further below!

Due to the presence of this light shield, the space was undetectable from the earth above.

Right now, an altar, one hundred zhang in size, had been moved into this underground space. At the center of the altar was a deep blood trough, and the entire altar was covered in mysterious runes.

At the center of the altar stood a Qingyang, a divine beast from the age of desolation. Though not well-known, its godly status afforded it immense divine power.

The Qingyang was clad in cyan armor, with legs like pillars and a tail jointed enough to shatter mountains. Its head resembled a slender deer’s, crowned with two sky-piercing horns that, legend had it, could penetrate the Vault of Heaven.

Now, the warriors of the Qingyang Divine Race kept adding spirit items to this space, throwing into the area any treasures containing primal energy or spirit energy, enveloping the entire altar.

However, those Qingyang Divine Race warriors carrying spirit items didn’t leave the space afterward but walked directly towards the Qingyang altar.

In front of the altar, they sliced open their own chests, blood splattering upon it, before their entire bodies fell into the blood trough.

Soon, a touch of Ling Guang manifested on the altar, and the Qingyang warriors who fell into the blood trough began to dissolve visibly.

This was not one person; within moments, thousands of Qingyang warriors had slit their bodies open and fallen into the blood trough.

With their blood and bones melding in, the Qingyang Altar was slowly activated.

They were not afraid; their eyes held a resolute belief that within that glowing gate were their future generations, their loved ones. By sealing this gate and preventing the Human race from opening it, their loved ones might survive, and the Qingyang Divine Race could have hope!

They die, Qingyang lives!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Above the Sky Vault outside, roaring sounds echoed as Void Battleships from all directions around Qingyang City tore through the void, their ferocious cannons looming, exuding a cold murderous intent!

At this moment, the Void Battleships of the Gu Yuan Tribe surrounding Qingyang City had reached a total of thirty-four, effectively encircling the entire city.

"What are we waiting for? Take down the city!"

Qiu Hu, his brothers Qiu Bao and Qiu Niu, along with Tian Fang, Jian Jinghong, and Huang Xiaotian who were leading the battleships, upon hearing Xiao Bangtu and another’s analysis, Qiu Hu immediately exclaimed.

This excitement, born from days of indulging in killing and looting, seemed addictive!

Now, hearing that there might be a ruin in this city before them,

That it was a relic, immediately excited them once more!

"Good, there’s no time to delay, or else, if the Divine Clan stops holding back and something changes, we should seize the city with one fell swoop!"

The next moment, several streaks of light shot towards the Void Battleships in all directions.

"The Grand Elder of the Human race is attacking; we must not let them enter the city. Remember to hold them off for three quarters of an hour to give our chieftain time to start the blood sacrifice!"

"Even in death, we shall not let the Human race enter the city!"

An elder stood at the position the Qingjia Divine Race had vacated.

"Let the Human race come, the Qingyang Divine Race fears no battle!" His wrinkled face radiated madness.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

The next moment, on all sides of Qingyang City, thirty-four Void Battleships and Armed Warships, with three hundred eighty cannons in total, thunderously exploded.

In an instant, the sky shattered, the earth split, and all of Qingyang City turned into a sea of fire!
