Chapter 1878: The Age of Contention, Only Military Strength Can Secure the Nation

The Wu Nan battlefield is already one of the foremost battlefields between the Human and Demon races.

Because a war here once involved the grand opening of the seven positions of the Derivation Path, in the time that followed, no matter how controlled the intensity of the war was, it was still more intense than other battlefields of the same level.

A war of not-so-large scale continued this day, with the malevolent qi of soldiers stirring up ten thousand li, leaving no clouds. The majestic Nan Tian City and Wu An City faced each other from afar, like two silent giant beasts. They each had the opportunity to swallow the other, of course, an opportunity they never realized. Qi Country court discussing physician Wen Ren Chen faced the Feather Race true demon Iron Cage Army commander Que Meng Chen. Such a war, for the commanders of both sides, was no longer considered rare.

At a certain moment, bright stars suddenly appeared in the clear sky, completely overshadowing the light of the golden sun. After the Jade Balance Star shone alone, the Big Dipper manifested and illuminated the sky dome!

Those warriors who had not yet engaged in combat raised their heads and saw a brilliant line of starlight, coming from far to near, precisely from outside the sky.

What is this?

Looking closely, this surprisingly resembled a sky road. From the distant sky outside, it extended all the way here.

And on this "sky road," there were dazzling roaring light shadows. The sky was temporarily red, then suddenly saw hurricanes, then sea waves rolled wildly... Deep dark surges like an iron curtain were violently torn apart by the primal force of the Five Elements. Thunderous light sweeping across tens of thousands of li was annihilated in the cracks of ten thousand worlds.

This was the aftermath of the cross-world battle between the Demon Race's Heaven Demons and the Human Race's True Monarchs, spreading all the way from the depths of the universe!

And against the backdrop of such booming fierceness...

People looked from extremely far away, but surprisingly discovered that on this starlight sky road, there were people!

There was unexpectedly a blood-soaked figure, coming from the aftermath of the battle between countless absolute peak powerhouses, from that unknown sky outside... walking all the way here!

His long hair was scattered, his body was covered in blood, his face was unclear, but his spine was straight and his back was erect, naturally full of spirit.

His speed was not fast, his breath could be called weak, but every step was so firm!

Who is he?

There was a temple hall in Wu An City. Female nuns from Xi Yue Temple built a hut here and resided, reciting scriptures ceaselessly every day.

The city wall of Wu An City had long been stained with blood and fire.

A line of words engraved on a corner of the outer wall by a certain high official scholar had become blurred in many places amidst the smoke and fire, but the feelings within them could still be discerned.

What burned this place was not actually the fire of war, but smoke and fire.

In the small temple hall within the city, a female nun in green clothes. Every day she burned incense, every day she recited scriptures, and all her prayers fell upon this place.

Her prayers and embroidered wishes were actually different paths leading to the same destination. But in the mad waves of life and death, they were all ignored.

When the Winter Emperor Xie Ai built his light bridge with falling snow, this bit of smoke and fire had long since flown away faintly. But that wasn't important either.

Just as she offered incense, she never bowed her head to Buddha. Just as she prayed, she never sought progress in Buddhist Dharma.

She knocked her wooden fish, recited her scriptures, burned her incense, and loved her people regardless of whether there was a response or not.

Today, one hundred and sixty-seven days later, the green-clothed female nun suddenly lost her grip, knocked the wooden fish broken, and couldn't help but stand up in the temple hall!

My heart was originally an ancient well in the mountains, how could it bear you, a bright moon! Boom rumble rumble!

Wu An City, standing on this side of the Wu Nan battlefield, suddenly trembled. This was the iron seal that had been branded onto this war city when it was first built.

The response that was once only one step away from being established, at this moment, was like a heavenly drum ringing for a long time!

Booming heavenly drum, the fire of human civilization is bright.

Who is it that steps down from the starlight sky road? He needs no further self-introduction. This is the city built for him!

This city, and the many people who had come and gone from this city, had already called that name countless times!

At this moment, the power of wishes overlapped, and at this moment, extravagant thoughts came true.

The one who stepped down from the sky dome was precisely that young king and marquis!

Great Qi's Wu An Marquis Jiang Wang, after being trapped in Frost Wind Valley for five months and seventeen days, unexpectedly returned from the Demon Race!

Above the battlefield, a sword cry suddenly arose.

Bai Yu Xia, the first guest of Wu An Marquis Manor, was extremely excited, rising high into the sky, drawing a sword to raise a white dragon that howled throughout the entire battlefield: "Great contention of the world, only Wu An Country! Welcome, Marquis Lord!"

Following closely behind, and together with him,

The Wu An Marquis Guard team, which had fought on the Wu Nan battlefield for several months, now still had one hundred and thirty-one fierce members remaining. At this time, each wore armor, each drew their swords, their sword qi piercing the clouds and sky: "Welcome, Marquis Lord!"

One voice led a hundred voices, a hundred voices led ten thousand voices.

Voices converged into waves, voices howled into a sea.

For a time, the entire Wu Nan battlefield, all the Human Race warriors, all welcomed Wu An, all congratulated Wu An Marquis on his return!

The battlefield, which was originally fiercely killing, with Jiang Wang descending in such a magnificent manner, the Demon Race army was unexpectedly deterred, temporarily finding it difficult to advance!

Only the Demon Race commander Que Meng Chen, clad in his flying feather war armor, stood on the tower of Nan Tian City, pointing his halberd forward: "Shoot and kill him with this commander!"

Dozens of military crossbows on the city wall immediately turned their direction, their array patterns suddenly bright and suddenly hidden. With a terrifying sharp whistling sound, huge crossbow arrows, more than ten zhang long, tore through space, dragging black rifts towards the starlight sky road.

Dozens of crossbow arrows streaked through the air, almost covering the sky, stirring and breaking all the primal force of heaven and earth, enveloping half of the shadowy side!

Under the intervention of the commander's will, the soldier's malevolent qi of the Demon Race constantly impacted the high sky, almost shaking the starlight sky road.

Jiang Wang, having driven the starlight all the way here, was already exhausted. The long journey through the universe, for him at this moment, was always too forced.

But he drew his sword without hesitation!

Ten thousand armies called his name, and he, with his martial prowess, secured himself with his martial prowess!

At this moment, the four great star towers shook together. He carried the momentum of his return from outside the sky, remotely confronting Que Meng Chen, remotely confronting the Demon Race army, and began his path of killing with his sword.

Leaving aside others, just this courage to draw his sword and confront Que Meng Chen was enough to be worthy of the call that echoed through the battlefield at this time.

But courage is not enough to overcome everything.

Almost simultaneously with making eye contact with Que Meng Chen, malevolent intent had already invaded his body. He stood unsteadily, his spirit injured and his intent confused!

But it was also at this moment.

In front of him, a withered and thin figure suddenly appeared. His bald head was not bright enough, his monk's robe was not new enough, and his back was not majestic enough.

However, the wind blew his monk's robe, and with his palms together, this thin old monk... in this instant, was actually as majestic as if supporting the sky!

"Harm not... my disciple!"

Wrapped in the malevolent qi of the soldier array, representing the vanguard killing power of the Demon Race army, the huge law-breaking crossbow arrows all suspended in front of this yellow-faced old monk.

Que Meng Chen's divine intent, the Demon Race army's malevolent intent, all froze in mid-air.

This yellow-faced old monk, covered in wind and frost, turned his head and glanced over the ten thousand armies, revealing a satisfied smile.

In the past, he hadn't noticed. This child actually specially cultivated one tower among the four great star towers! Still saying there's no one in his heart for his master? Still saying there's no fate with Buddha? Everything is good about this child, just too shy!

Thinking back to the time he was trapped in the Demon Race's inland, he looked at the tower and shed tears every night!

"Good disciple!" The yellow-faced old monk said angrily: "Today, I will pass on your family's secret skill!"

His monk's robe suddenly billowed, and boundless waves of qi rippled out with him as the center. Except for Jiang Wang behind him, the entire battlefield was driven by a mad wind! His two angry eyebrows were raised high like a whisk.

Endless spiritual light surged from his body.

At this moment, the true person of the world, Ku Jue, completely liberated himself. Body awareness!

Heart awareness!

Intent awareness!

Spirit awareness! All opened!

Body is the five senses, heart is the seven emotions, intent is the six thoughts... spirit is the three wisdoms, which are the so-called hearing, thinking, cultivating, and receiving Bodhi!

The next moment, he had already stepped into Nan Tian City, appeared in front of Que Meng Chen, and covered Que Meng Chen's face with one palm!

The whole field was shocked.

Shocked was not only Que Meng Chen himself, who was struck in the face, but also Qi Country's court discussing physician Wen Ren Chen.

In the past, the old monk Ku Jue had appeared on the battlefield more than once, but had never displayed such great power.

Thinking of Que Meng Chen, he was also a genuine true demon powerhouse, and even more so, he was commanding the army at this time and could mobilize the power of the army array at any time.

But just for one move targeting Jiang Wang, who had returned from outside the sky, Ku Jue went mad!

Body, heart, intent, spirit, all were bound!

Dao principles, divine powers, spells, and army arrays all had no time to be used, they were just pressed down by one palm, pressing down the city tower, pressing broken the war armor and collapsing the city wall, his skull was even pressed into his chest cavity!

A hall-level true demon of the world would naturally not die so easily.

But at this moment, Ku Jue, who was suspended high above the city tower of Nan Tian City, casually lowered his hand and added another palm strike. Boom!

A huge palm print, several hundred zhang long and wide, appeared at the original location. Que Meng Chen was like a small nail, just nailed in the exact center of this huge palm print, nailed into the ground.

At first glance, the city gate area of Nan Tian City looked like a huge abyss valley had appeared there.

Ku Jue, whose entire body shone with intense spiritual light, changed his usual playful smiling face, letting his monk's robe rustle in the wind, and said in a loud voice: "Those who wish to kill my disciple shall end up like this fellow!"

Although Jiang Wang had safely returned.

But he did not forget how Jiang Wang, who was already as noble as an overlord country's king and marquis and should have had a smooth journey, had his news completely cut off overnight.

The black hand behind the Frost Wind Valley incident had not yet been dragged out. This old monk did not have much ability either.

But he wanted to let that person behind the scenes know, how far he, Ku Jue, could go for Jiang Wang, and what level he, Ku Jue, actually was!

Whoever wanted to move Jiang Wang again later should weigh it!

"Arrogant!"

The clear sky suddenly let out a lion's roar, thunder passing through the nine heavens.

Shi An Xuan, with golden hair, golden armor, and purple eyes, stepped out from the golden sun, grasping endless light and heat, wanting to capture the yellow-faced monk with one palm.

"Is this considered arrogant!?"

A fist wearing a black knuckle duster suddenly appeared, and without any fancy moves, it directly collided with this palm.

With just one fist, the Lion Race Heaven Demon was sent flying back, directly into the huge palm print near the city gate of Nan Tian City, making it side by side with Que Meng Chen.

Jiang Meng Xiong's extremely domineering figure, condensed behind his fist at this moment, said angrily: "Beating you to death, what does that count as?! Call Yuan Xian Ting out!"

The cross-space bombardment surrounding the starlight sky road had just ended roughly, and he felt his mood was still not good!

Between words, Qi Guan Ying, covered in ink-colored war armor and extraordinarily divine, had already lifted his narrow knife and come: "Jiang Meng Xiong, you say you, are you not a brute? The little guy went through a thousand hardships to send you a message, narrowly escaping death just to get here. You haven't even properly prepared for the battle in Shen Xiao world, yet you still want to contend for an inch of land's loss and a moment's anger here?"

He didn't make any moves, but the space around his body had already begun to perish, even the primal force had withered.

All those signs of withering also fell on the starlight sky road, causing it to dim extremely quickly. Even the protective starlight left by Guan Yan could not fundamentally last long.

Jiang Meng Xiong casually threw a punch, breaking Qi Guan Ying's small actions, and said coldly: "The strong are qualified to open the door and kill enemies, the weak just destroy their own city and lead wolves into the room! You have all been imprisoned here for too long, you no longer know how big the world is. Shen Xiao world is a calamity or a fortune, I think you all cannot understand!"

At this time, a burst of laughter rang out.

On the starlight sky road, flowers unexpectedly bloomed. "The fortune of the Demon Race, the calamity of the Human Race! What is there not to understand?"

Lu Xi Ming laughed lightly as he walked down from the high sky, his hand already grasping a sword.

The struggle that had no result in the depths of the universe continued at this moment on the Wu Nan battlefield. The only thing that remained unchanged was that Jiang Wang and his starlight road still became the center of this struggle. He himself could not make decisions!

The sound of a cold edge being drawn rang out only once.

The flowers on the starlight sky road all detached.

Qin Chang Sheng, wearing a bamboo hat and rain co*at, brought his sheathed knife, just stared at Lu Xi Ming, not saying a single extra word.

The message Jiang Wang brought back was very important.

The fact that Jiang Wang returned from the Demon Race inland was very important.

If so many True Monarchs watching could still let this long-suffering tormented human race's heavenly pride die at the hands of the Demon Race, then this Gate of Ten Thousand Demons truly had no meaning in being guarded!

"Truly nowhere not to meet!"

An old man with a white beard and white hair, and a cloud and thunder pattern between his eyebrows, suddenly stepped into this place, looked at Jiang Wang and said: "From Shen Xiao world to this place, you went around a large circle. Little friend, we meet again!"

"Your methods, I still remember clearly." Jiang Wang drew his sword and said: "If you have sons, have grandsons,

Have blood descendants, perhaps they don't like you, happy to see me!"

At this time, one hand flipped to the front of Jiang Wang, grasping the thunder and lightning that approached the starlight sky road, and pinching it with force, like throwing a dead thunder snake, making it emit a squeaking mournful sound.

This slender hand lightly grasped Jiang Wang's hand, pulling him back with a pull, making him completely detach from the attraction of qi machines and escape the entanglement of dao principles.

Completely ending the overt and covert struggle that unfolded around Jiang Wang. "Come behind grandfather."

Great Chu's Hui Country Duke Zuo Xiao!

Jiang Wang, who had just been pressing his sword and showing off, never showing weakness even to Xuan Nan Gong, at this time honestly stood behind Zuo Xiao, not saying a single word more. He no longer needed to fight desperately, no longer needed to grit his teeth and hold on, there were naturally people who would make decisions for him!

At this time, the position where Jiang Wang stood was precisely the center point of the entire Wu Nan battlefield. Precisely within the one li of land that Zuo Xiao initially strongly drew down!

This one li of land was obtained through great momentum, the heavenly machine exclusively occupied, it was because Jiang Wang had it. Hence, he could escape the contention of absolute peaks!

From this moment on, Jiang Wang had already stepped down from the gambling table of the strong from both sides, no longer among the chips.

From this moment on, it could only be said that he had truly safely escaped!

Almost simultaneously with Xuan Nan Gong appearing, was Yuan Xian Ting, clad in golden armor and a red cloak, holding an exaggerated war halberd.

He, on the contrary, did not make any fuss on the starlight sky road, but undoubtedly stood in front of Jiang Meng Xiong. He grinned and smiled: "You are indeed not bad, little fellow!"

Jiang Meng Xiong laughed coldly: "The average level of young people in Qi Country!"

Then he raised his hand generously: "Wu An Marquis! Then tell everyone, what scenery did you all see on this trip to the Demon World!"

Jiang Wang stood behind Zuo Xiao, feeling the gazes of the various Heaven Demons and True Monarchs in the field, feeling the attention of tens of thousands of soldiers of the two races on the entire battlefield.

He tightly grasped his long sword, and said seriously—

"I saw... the Demon Race has a brilliant civilization, they are a terrifying opponent that should not be underestimated!"

"I saw... the Demon Race's Yu Zhen achieved one success out of ten thousand failures, making the opening of Shen Xiao world true!"

"I saw... Zen Master Xing Nian sought knowledge and heard the bell, did not achieve fruition for five hundred years, a solitary boat crossed the heavenly river, and was surrounded and attacked to death!"

"I saw... the Purple Wu Hills where snow did not fly for thirteen years, Rao Bing Zhang died first and then wielded his spear, one spear helping me kill a true demon!"

"I saw..."

Jiang Meng Xiong suddenly raised his eyes above the sky of Nan Tian City, looking directly at Jiang Wang.

With just one glance, he saw all the pictures of Rao Bing Zhang in Jiang Wang's memory. Xiong San Si... Three Evil Calamity Monarch... Thousand Calamity Cave.

"Yuan Xian Ting ah."

He was not domineering, even somewhat lonely, turning his body and looking fixedly at Yuan Xian Ting, slowly saying—

"If several Heaven Demons don't die today, it is destined to not end well."
