Sage of Humanity
Chapter 834 - 832: Reinforcements!

By that time, they would no longer be fighting alone but would have the entire Nine Provinces as their backing and support!

Now that the portal had appeared, how far away could the reinforcements be?

The appearance of the portals also alerted the Corpse Race. Around each portal, many scattered undead tried to rush in to investigate. However, even though they passed through the portals, it was as if they had just passed through an invisible wall, with no reaction.

Just as the numerous undead were uncertain, the space shrouded by the portals suddenly distorted, and the next moment, a figure abruptly appeared.

One figure was followed by a second, then a third...

In the blink of an eye, an endless stream of cultivators appeared one after another.

Every portal was the same!

Yuen Lie hailed from a 5th grade sect in Wuzhou, with decent talent, and he now possessed the cultivation of Cloud River Level 6.

However, at this point in time, such cultivation was not very competitive. He hadn't gained much from the recently concluded Cloud River Struggle, so he could only set his sights on the next one.

The next Cloud River Struggle was five years away, which was enough for him to elevate his cultivation to the peak of Cloud River and accumulate strong foundations.

But to achieve this, he needed sufficient cultivation resources. The monthly stipend from the sect was not enough, which was a common strategy used by all major sects in the Nine Provinces. Even a 1st grade sect never provided enough resources for its disciples.

Only by lacking cultivation resources could disciples temper themselves.

If resources were supplied abundantly, it would only produce a group of people with empty cultivation but no combat skills.

The various opportunities and battles on the Cloud River battlefield, as well as fights with cultivators from opposing factions, were ways for cultivators to temper themselves.

Especially the former, which were rare and hard to come by. So when a portal suspected to lead to some secret realm appeared in the Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union, Yuen Lie followed the crowd and stepped in.

The teleportation process seemed longer than usual, with a disorienting feeling of spinning, and during the teleportation, a piece of information suddenly exploded in his heart!

He had entered secret realms before and knew that sometimes the Heaven's Augury would assign special identities to cultivators entering a secret realm based on a domain's background. This was to facilitate their actions and give them a general understanding of the realm's basic situation.

So when this information exploded in his heart, Yuen Lie was not flustered at all and quickly inspected it.

The result surprised him, as he was not given any special identity or basic information about the secret realm.

The message was simple and clear.

Exterminate the Corpse Race!

What in the world is the Corpse Race?

He had never heard of it before.

Before Yuen Lie could figure it out, his view changed, and the unusually long teleportation ended.

Experienced cultivators knew to activate their Spirit Artifact and spirit force to protect themselves at such a time, as no one knew what dangers awaited in the unknown land.

Yuen Lie was no exception. He quickly activated his spirit force and summoned his Spirit Artifact.

The sounds of roars and battle cries came to his ears. As he looked around, he saw many Nine Provinces cultivators who had arrived before him engaging in fierce combat with an unknown enemy. The air was filled with the stench of decay.

Yuen Lie was no stranger to this smell. It was the stench of a corpse that had been rotting for a long time.

Looking at the enemies before him, many looked like rotting corpses, their bodies covered with decaying flesh. Others looked like dried corpses, their bodies emaciated.

This must be the Corpse Race? The name was indeed fitting.

"Ugh..." Not far away, a delicate-looking female cultivator bent over, struggling with a pale face. She had clearly never faced such a battle scene or seen such disgusting enemies before.

"Roar!" A emaciated Corpse Race member leapt toward the female cultivator, clawing at her. Yuen Lie's eyes were quick. He leaped forward, thrusting his sword towards the Corpse Race member.

The opponent didn't dodge, allowing the sword to pierce his chest, while his claw grabbed the female cultivator's head.

There was a cracking sound, like a watermelon bursting, and Yuen Lie's eyelids twitched.

...

The Nine Provinces cultivators suffered significant losses in their initial encounters with the Corpse Race, as the usual vital spots were meaningless. Being undead beings, killing the Corpse Race required decapitation or smashing them to pieces.

Many Nine Provinces cultivators who arrived earlier suffered casualties, but more cultivators continued to arrive. Faced with the common enemy of the Corpse Race, no one cared about the factional conflict between the Haotian Alliance and Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. They used their skills and abilities, with experienced cultivators leading the newcomers to consolidate the defenses near the portals, establishing a solid foothold.

After the initial chaos, Nine Provinces cultivators built barriers at each portal, which grew stronger with reinforcements, gaining the ability to counterattack.

Few secret realms erupted into large-scale warfare upon entry. Typically, Nine Provinces secret realms were snapshots of periods from long-destroyed domains, allowing cultivators to adapt gradually. But the Unparalleled Continent was an exception.

Thus, the Nine Provinces cultivators were caught off guard and suffered some losses.

However, no one retreated because everyone quickly noticed one thing.

Killing these Corpse Race members earned battle merits!

The Nine Provinces cultivators' desire for battle merits was unimaginable. Despite the numerous fatalities and the intense battle, their fervor only grew.

Like sparks igniting the wilderness, the Nine Provinces cultivators unleashed their spirit force, spreading the flames of battle in all directions.

Outside the Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm, on the battlefield of Dao Palace cultivators and stronghold cultivators, the three Soaring Dragon Arks were nearly wrecked.

The defensive line formed by the Soaring Dragon Arks was almost broken by the Corpse Race's assault. If it weren't for the unwillingness to abandon those who had ventured deep into the Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm, Pang Huanyin would have ordered a retreat long ago.

Since Lu Ye and the others entered the Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm, they had not been seen again. How could Pang Huanyin abandon them?

While Lu Ye and the others were in peril inside the Huntian Holy Temple, the situation outside was also dire.

Until the sudden arrival of the Nine Provinces cultivators.

High up, Pang Huanyin, Veteran Siao, and others stared in shock at the unfamiliar figures emerging from the portals, their hearts filled with amazement.

Originally, they were at an absolute disadvantage. Many Dao Palace and stronghold cultivators had fallen, but now, with the assistance of the sudden reinforcements, the situation seemed to be reversing.

"Fellow Daoist Hua, who are they..." Pang Huanyin suddenly realized, turning to the heavily guarded Hua Ci.

As the only healing cultivator capable of curing the Primordial Corpse Poison, Hua Ci was under strict protection. Since the start of the battle, a group from Dao Palace had been guarding her.

At this moment, Hua Ci was detoxifying a cultivator poisoned by the Primordial Corpse Poison. With her delicate hand on his chest, the poison was purged in a moment.

Unnoticed by anyone, during detoxification, Hua Ci's cultivation subtly increased.

Her unique heritage allowed her to cultivate using toxins, which was more effective than using Spiritual Energy.

Corpse Poison was also a type of poison!

For Hua Ci, the Unparalleled Continent was even better than the Five Poisons Pond for her cultivation.

Moreover, she could earn battle merits while detoxifying! This was an unexpected delight.

However, unlike most cultivators, she did not crave battle merits much.

Upon hearing Pang Huanyin's question, Hua Ci smiled, "They're all from the Nine Provinces. Lu Ye must have succeeded, wait for his good news."

Even though she suspected, Pang Huanyin was stunned when Hua Ci confirmed it.

Veteran Siao, standing beside her, murmured, "So the Nine Provinces really exist!"

Pang Huanyin had told him about the Nine Provinces and that Lu Ye and others came from there.

Since Pang Huanyin said it, Veteran Siao believed it, and Lu Ye and others did seem unlike anyone the Unparalleled Continent could produce.

But there was no visual evidence until now!

From the portals, unfamiliar cultivators continuously emerged. Though their strength varied, their numbers were unimaginable.

They wore bright clothes, wielding fine Spirit Artifacts, having cultivated different streams. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they quickly coordinated in the chaotic battlefield, forming tight battle arrays.

These Nine Provinces cultivators seemed born for war.

Clearing her mind of distractions, Pang Huanyin's expression turned resolute. Her heroic voice echoed, "Fellow Daoists from Dao Palace and various strongholds, the Corpse Race plague on the Unparalleled Continent has lasted long enough. Today, we eradicate them with the Nine Provinces' help. As Unparalleled cultivators born here, will you fall behind?

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Raising her longsword, Pang Huanyin pointed to the battlefield ahead, "This is our home, the Unparalleled Continent, and we are Unparalleled cultivators. While others risk their lives to defend our land, will we just watch?

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The corners of Pang Huanyin's mouth lifted, her passionate voice now calm yet decisive, "Then… kill!"

With those words, she was the first to charge.

From a passive defensive state, it was finally time to counterattack.

Behind her, Dao Palace and stronghold cultivators transformed into colorful lights, diving into the vast battlefield like a sea of stars!

At each portal, Nine Provinces cultivators noticed Pang Huanyin's side, puzzled about the apparent strong force.

But quickly understood, as regardless of origins, they were human!

And the Nine Provinces cultivators' mission was singular: exterminate the Corpse Race!
