Outside Yan Mountain Pass, the setting sun was like blood.
As the human race army broke through the pass to impact the Shura defense line and met the vanguard force of the Qin Crown Prince, King Xu had already been surrounded for a long time.
While sprinting towards the Yan Mountain battlefield, Jiang Wang, in contrast, witnessed another kind of application of perception.
The Great Qin Crown Prince's control over perception was extremely domineering. He used his absolute power to forcefully order the world's sounds for him to hear, the world's sights for him to see, and to make the myriad beings unable to perceive the heavenly might.
A group of seven people traversed the battlefield, brushing shoulders with the Shura great army, like walking through a desolate wilderness. They saw Shura like withered grass, uselessly exposed to the winter wind.
Not only were the sentry riders spread across the sky seemingly nonexistent, but the high-hanging Sky Abyss Eye was also completely undetectable throughout the entire process.
From the perspective of controlling perception, Jiang Wang himself could try to avoid this terrifying eye, but to cover so many people and simultaneously evade detection was absolutely impossible.
"All human shapes, eh." Gan Chang'an, in rapid flight, suddenly felt emotional.
The others didn't speak.
In the ancient era, the Demon Race Heavenly Court ruled the myriad heavens and ten thousand realms, with immeasurable territory and countless governed races.
Precisely because ruling had become quite a difficult task, those true powerhouses of the Demon Race, having long ago possessed everything and without desires, only needed time and energy to cultivate and explore the peak above eternity. Only then did they create the "Human Race" based on the Demon Race's Dao Body to help the Heavenly Court rule the ten thousand realms.
The so-called "Ancient Hundred Races" appearing in history books today are actually a general term for the outstanding ones among the many races governed by the Demon Race—especially the group that stood out to resist the Demon Race.
Among them, the vast majority were innate races, some were creations from different origins, and a part of the races were born from postnatal karma and coincidences.
Their racial talents were generally not strong, far from comparable to the Demon Race. They were considered "base races," innately weaker than the Human Race by a lot. They also gained powerful strength through difficult cultivation, step by step.
The Demon Race Heavenly Court ruled for too long. The memory of the Demon Race Heavenly Court ruling the myriad heavens and ten thousand realms was almost equivalent to the memory of this world for many racial groups.
This rule seemed like natural law, part of the fundamental rules of the world. The authority of the Demon Race Heavenly Court seemed innate, a mandate from heaven, sacred and inviolable.
When the banner of resistance against the Demon Race Heavenly Court was raised by the Human Race and remained unbroken for a long time, many existences only then realized—originally, the rule of the Demon Race Heavenly Court could be resisted.
A vast number of racial groups saw hope in the confrontation between the Human Race and the Demon Race and one after another rallied under the banner of resisting the Demon Race Heavenly Court, wanting to win freedom for the myriad heavens and ten thousand realms and become the protagonists of the era.
Thus, there were beacon fires in the ten thousand realms, and the Heavenly Court shook.
The "Ancient Hundred Races" were of course not just a hundred races, but now, not to mention racial groups, even the names of racial groups may not necessarily remain a hundred.
Racial groups like the Water Race (true water element race, different from the later Water Race), Fire Race, Stone Race, Wind Race, etc., which were relatively powerful, still have some historical traces.
The rest have all been erased.
The forms of the Ancient Hundred Races were varied, their external appearances different, absolutely unrelated to the Human Race.
But the remnants of the Hundred Races, enduring ten thousand tribulations and surviving, finally manifested as Shura, crawling out from the "irreversible place," and actually became half-human bodies... It is visible how deep their resentment is, their life and death entangled with the Human Race.
Gan Chang'an sighed "all human shapes," precisely meaning this.
But ancient stories are nothing good for people today to talk about.
Many times there is no right or wrong, only positions.
Born as a human, holding a sword on the racial battlefield is the biggest principle.
Retreating one step on the battlefield means abandoning the countless powerless ordinary people in the rear.
Besides the Human Race itself, no other race needs to care about the continuation of the Human Race. Besides humans, no other existence owes the Human Race responsibility.
So it is said that in the rise and fall of the world, every commoner has a responsibility. And superhuman power must match a superhuman bearing—
At least in today's world, this is the moral order of the Human Race.
Before the sounds of killing entered the ear, there was the piercing wind. Before the flags were seen, there were rust-like clouds.
That killing intent disturbed without reason, that kind of alertness that penetrated the truth of the world, all were reminding one thing—
The battlefield was near.
Moreover, it was an extremely cruel, extremely dangerous high-intensity battlefield.
Even those at the absolute peak were in danger of life and death.
Entering this battlefield, one should suspend life.
Everyone didn't speak, silently making good combat preparations. At the front of the team, Ying Wu suddenly lifted his head and laughed: "A gift has arrived!"
But they saw at a higher place in the killing clouds, above the long sky, a dazzling beam of light suddenly appeared, then broke through the wind and came. Space seemed like layered glass boxes, being penetrated layer by layer. And the cracks in the glass interlayer were just like the streaks attached to this beam of light.
The cracks were several thousand li long, like the tail feathers of a phoenix.
That beam of light, also truly born brilliantly within the light, dimmed after extreme brilliance. It transformed into a black point that swallowed all light, constantly gathering and constantly expanding, finally protruding a ferocious ghost phoenix image.
The ghost phoenix wore ten thousand feathers, just like this, falling upon the blue sky.
That power to annihilate all sides almost fell together with the sound of Ying Wu's words, crushing all tangible and intangible captures.
This was absolute peak archery!
"Looks like Shi Jingxian walked the wrong path..." Ying Wu laughed, "Gentlemen, please go to the battlefield yourselves, I will receive this gift!"
The formation suddenly opened. The row of seven people dispersed like this. Six people each took their position and continued to fly forward, directly penetrating towards the battlefield.
Ying Wu then soared into the sky, facing the sky with one arm, and unleashed supreme hegemonic power with a boom.
His simple single fist represented ultimate hegemonic power. Power must not exist, then it will necessarily not exist. Power must exist, then it will necessarily be born. The will of the hegemon overrides everything in the world. Above heaven and below earth, there is nothing that does not follow.
This fist boomed out. Everything before the fist, including Yuan Force, space, and time, all surged into a tide, vast and reversing, reaching the highest dome in an instant. Only the ghost phoenix representing extinction still fell, unwilling to turn back, and then its head was shattered by one fist!
After all, it was only one arrow from Shi Jingxian, split into three paths from a distance. Its purpose was not to absolutely kill another absolute peak, but to awaken the Shura great army on the battlefield. To inform the Shura monarch kings on the scene—Ying Wu and the others had not been intercepted and were going to the battlefield!
At the same time as Ying Wu soared into the sky, Jiang Wang consciously flew at the front of the team. As the True Person in the most complete state in the state, he naturally should be the vanguard, to stand in the "Qian Gate". As a Marquis with military merit, it was also very reasonable for him to take charge of the formation.
But... the six-directions formation laid out by Ying Wu looked quite simple, but simple was only relative to those who entered the formation. It actually encompassed everything, with unfathomable changes, exhausting the principles of heaven and earth. All kinds of complex changes were all under the control of the main formation controller.
Its full name was the "Qian Yuan Six Directions Flying Wing Formation," a super high-end evolution based on the six-directions formation.
In short, it was a bit too complex.
Not suitable for small-scale combat.
"Form the vanguard arrow formation!" True Person Jiang decisively changed the formation, thrusting forward with the vanguard arrow formation which was more suitable for the current situation.
As one of the essential formations in "Military Strategy Basics," the vanguard arrow formation was simple, convenient, classic, not picky about the situation yet extremely sharp. It could be said to be a great skill that appeared clumsy.
The others weren't so bad that they couldn't even keep up with a vanguard arrow formation.
Immediately, with Qin Zhi Zhen and Ji Zhao Nan as side wings, Gan Chang'an and Wang Yi Wu as the arrow body, Zhong Xuan Zun as the tail wing, and Jiang Wang himself as the arrow tip, they penetrated like a flying arrow.
Just like that extinction arrow of the Shura monarch king Shi Jingxian, they directly penetrated into the battlefield!
The great battle at Yan Mountain battlefield was in full swing.
King Xu was writing his legend here—fighting two armies with one army, warring alone against two absolute peaks, not panicking though surrounded, his army guarding itself, guarding as if an iron barrel.
Vast soldier煞 mixed in the high dome, hard to distinguish between the human race and Shura.
But on the vast battlefield, two races with a total of several tens of thousands of great armies, were clearly divided.
One side of the Shura great army blocked the human race's retreat route back to the city, crossing the pass. The other side surrounded this strong army named Cut Deer, like a giant python entwining a tree, slowly strangling it.
The process of this war was like peeling scales, peeling off the scales of the human race's great army layer by layer, until finally, exposing the vital points of the chest and abdomen, delivering a fatal blow.
War had evolved to this point, there were no too many tricks. It relied on the extreme control of the great armies by both sides' commanders, how to win more and lose less in every interlocking detail of the stranglehold.
King Xu was of course not lacking in military ability, but the Shura race's nearly two-to-one advantage in military force meant that the Shura commander had extremely high error tolerance space. Even if exchanging pieces, they could also exchange until the human race army was exhausted. Factually, under King Xu's exquisite command, the Shura great army also only advanced through exchanging pieces.
But victory and defeat were already very clear. Even if King Xu didn't make a single mistake, as time passed, this army would also be completely swallowed. This was precisely why the Shura great army stuck to the front line, unwilling to relax a single step. King Xu's head was too tempting!
The human race prodigies who surrounded and hunted Huang Ye Yu returned, and it was precisely in this situation that they came to the battlefield.
King Xu, who was always steadily commanding within the battlefield's inner encirclement, suddenly lifted his head.
He had a tacit understanding with Ying Wu long ago. His purpose was fundamentally to attract as many Shura race war forces as possible, tension the Shura race war string, and then expose a flaw, "carelessly" falling into heavy encirclement.
The greater the pressure he bore, the broader the space on Ying Wu's side. Two Shura strong armies, two Shura monarch kings, firmly nailed outside Yan Mountain Pass, he had done to the limit of the current situation. Every time the Shura great army strangled, it was groups of Cut Deer sharp warriors who fell. Where were the scales being peeled? It was one circle after another of brave warriors going to their deaths.
Now, the human race prodigies had returned from surrounding and hunting Huang Ye Yu, it was precisely at this moment that the great army here firmly guarded their return!
"Huo Zhe, Que Ye Ming!" King Xu was wearing full armor, even his five senses were covered by a face mask, but his outstanding temperament could not be covered by armor, nor could it be covered by the battlefield environment.
He shouted the names of the two Shura monarch kings, attracting their attention, and suddenly lifted his sky and raised it—
A fantastical and magnificent immortal palace, seemingly falling from the sky dome.
It was the immortal residence in mythology, suddenly descending upon the human world.
Causality Immortal Palace!
In this era today, it was the only immortal palace in a complete state in the true sense!
"Fighting and killing to this point, it is time to conclude this segment of causality!"
The vast Yan Mountain Pass battlefield was covered by a hazy light and shadow at this moment, becoming a part of the hazy light and shadow itself.
The solemn killing ground became bizarre.
Jiang Wang led the vanguard arrow formation, instantly crossing a thousand li and penetrating into here, still not having time to each display their divine might, just being covered by this hazy light and shadow. It was like an arrow shooting into a lake surface, and that penetrating sharp qi also quietly dissipated without a sound.
The Shura monarch king named Huo Zhe was an absolute peak powerhouse with flame-like snake hair. He was also relatively more versed in military strategy, and it was he who was responsible for commanding the two Shura army regiments, conducting the encirclement against the Cut Deer army.
At this moment, he divided his thoughts into billions, firmly controlling the army's momentum, sealing space and time—
It was a pity that what fluctuated was causality.
In the path of causality, King Xu was the living first, an existence that touched the limits of the present world.
He urged the Causality Immortal Palace, covering the entire Yan Mountain battlefield, activating the "Myriad Emptiness Wonderful Existence Causality Mixing Immortal Formation" which had been laid out within the Great Wall early on.
Everything on the entire Yan Mountain battlefield became hazy.
Causality was like water, and waves rose on flat ground!
The Great Qin Zhen Marquis wanted to directly move this battlefield at the moment, through the Causality Immortal Formation, and move it back within the Great Wall!
The Shura monarch king Que Ye Ming, who was much taller than ordinary Shura, standing two zhang tall, temporarily soared into the sky, flipped his palm and pressed out a terrifying great seal that still struggled constantly in his palm heart, which took the form of a vicious beast, heavily covering the battlefield: "Heavenly evil does not respect, divine prison eternally town—seal!"
Also precisely at this moment, Ying Wu, who had shattered the extinction arrow, descended from the sky. His vigorous Dao Body at this time displayed unmatched bravery. He boomed a fist onto the beast seal: "What you seek is not permitted by the will of the Jun!""
In that instant of contact, Ying Wu's arm emitted a clear sound of bones cracking, and Dao blood overflowed from his eyes and nose. He fundamentally could not block Que Ye Ming!
But the entire battlefield had fallen into a thorough haze.
The power of causality was already roaring into an angry tide, fundamentally unstoppable.
Huo Zhe suddenly took a step back, suppressing the army's momentum, letting his flame-like hair wave and dance, and also letting the human race leave—the entire Yan Mountain battlefield, just like this, disappeared upon causality, appearing within the Great Wall.
But the Shura great army was left behind by Huo Zhe.
At this moment, the two Shura monarch kings, two Shura strong armies, faced an empty array, leaving behind only the corpses of warriors, and the tightly locked city gates of Yan Mountain Pass, the insurmountable high walls, and the cold gazes cast down from the city towers.
This was the common choice of the two Shura monarch kings, regardless of whether this choice was right or wrong.
Que Ye Ming looked at Huo Zhe, didn't say anything, and directly took a step, folding space and heading towards Tiger Prison Pass.
This time's war had already failed, a complete failure from the strategic level to the tactical level. Huang Ye Yu was counter-surrounded and hunted, and King Xu successfully escaped. The only gain for the Shura at Yan Mountain battlefield was the previously beheaded over twenty thousand Cut Deer army warriors, but the Shura race also paid a huge sacrifice for this, with only more, not fewer, warriors buried here.
Breaking the Yu Abyss Great Wall was already impossible. Now, the only thing that could be done was to try to reduce losses, and not let the human race expand the war results again.
Within the Great Wall, the great army followed causality and arrived.
Jiang Wang also experienced what it was like to be greeted by someone, sitting at home feeling comfortable—in the past, which time wasn't a matter of life and death multiple times, a struggle on the road?
Although this time was also very dangerous, the harm ultimately fell on others.
He originally thought of helping King Xu, taking a risk one last time at Yan Mountain battlefield, but King Xu firmly controlled the situation, seized the opportunity to withdraw in one strike, and even brought them along for a journey.
Truly a famous general!
Praising in his heart, Jiang Wang couldn't help but open his mouth: "Zhen Marquis set up this great formation, directly moving the battlefield, truly a heavenly man's hand, a famous general's demeanor! I don't know what trap was dug here? I actually can't see it."
"The main force has already all passed through. There is no trap here." King Xu glanced at him: "But even if you all think so, Huo Zhe and Que Ye Ming of course also dare not not think so."
The human race prodigies surrounding and killing the Shura monarch king Huang Ye Yu in the wilderness proved that it was a premeditated counter-hunt action early on. Now King Xu jumped out again from the encirclement, directly transferring the battlefield with the pre-prepared immortal formation, clearly still having schemes waiting.
The "Myriad Emptiness Wonderful Existence Causality Mixing Immortal Formation" did not release dangerous killing power at Yan Mountain battlefield. Under the pressure of the two Shura monarch kings, it paid a huge price to pull causality, and only just moved the battlefield.
But how dare Huo Zhe and Que Ye Ming use the two Shura strong armies as a bet, and follow the human race great army to transfer to within the Great Wall?
Once they were all trapped within the Great Wall, they would die in the army's embrace. It was possible that the human race would directly hit into the Shura kingdom this time.
However, King Xu now said... there was no ambush or trap within the Great Wall.
Within the Great Wall, this side was empty!
If Huo Zhe just now did not choose to fix the army, but went with the flow like Que Ye Ming, leading the great army, and followed the "Myriad Emptiness Wonderful Existence Causality Mixing Immortal Formation" into the Great Wall, wouldn't it be a tiger entering a flock of sheep?
Ying Wu was already heavily injured, and there were no other strong armies here. The two Shura monarch kings, two Shura strong armies, were almost unstoppable. They completely had the opportunity to break the Great Wall from the inside!
Gan Chang'an was somewhat scared afterwards. He, like Jiang Wang, also thought there were still ambush means within the Great Wall. Sweat immediately poured from his forehead: "Zhen Marquis actually made such a bold gamble? What if they followed up?"
"Then that is the time for me to die and fill the border." King Xu said extremely flatly: "We cannot lead the wolf into the house and sit by and watch the wolf pack devour wives and eat children, can we? That would be me becoming a beast."
