Chapter 496: Purgatory on Earth

Hearing the ancestor's words, the Captain was immediately excited, looking at Blood Refining Master with teary eyes.

The other party's figure was incomparably majestic in his heart, radiating a warm light.

This time, he was really frightened by the formation of these millions of cultivators from the two prefectures. And the ancestor's standing up for him, the fair statement, and the correct recognition of himself—all of this turned the infinite grievance in the Captain's heart into deep emotion.

He felt that there was still warmth in the human world and true feelings in heaven and earth!

And the ancestor was ultimately the one who loved him the most, and he was still the little grand-disciple the ancestor loved the most.

Thus, the Captain raised his eyelids with effort, wanting to look at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was expressionless, carrying the Captain's head, looking at the two Great Elders of Quzhao Prefecture and Yinghuang Prefecture, and spoke calmly. "According to the intelligence No. Jia-1379 summarized by the Book Order Division, the disasters of the two prefectures are both related to the Sheng Lan clan. And it has been confirmed by intelligence No. Mi-214 that the Sheng Lan clan has indeed awakened the clothing prohibition."

"In addition, the sealing of Quzhao Prefecture is clearly much smoother than that of Yinghuang Prefecture. Combining the information from the two prefectures for comparison, Quzhao Prefecture, even without helpers, could resolve the clothing prohibition disaster at most in a month, while Yinghuang Prefecture would need longer."

"I also had doubts about this when I was in the Book Order Division. I originally thought it was because the god's gate of the Corpse Prohibition made the sealing more difficult, but looking at it now, it should be related to Chen Chen Erniu's cooperation within the clothing prohibition."

The Captain was excited again.

He shook his head rapidly, posing a nodding action. And his haggard appearance, with stubble and thick misery, also possessed some persuasiveness.

And the most persuasive voice came from afar at this moment.

"The chaos of the clothing prohibition has nothing to do with this little human friend. On the contrary, he helped my clan a lot here."

Everyone looked over immediately. Only to see pieces of clothing flying out from the burial cloth below, manifesting various colors in mid-air. It was the Clothing Clan.

It was just that compared to the dead clansmen, the number of these surviving Clothing Clan members was not large.

The one who spoke first was a female emperor's robe, with a large number of guard robes gathered behind it.

Their appearance made the cultivators here bow their fists one after another. This time, the Clothing Clan paid the most for the sealing of the clothing prohibition, and the words of that emperor robe naturally carried great weight.

Seeing the Clothing Clan appear, the Captain hurriedly retched a few times, but felt it wasn't smooth, so he spoke rapidly:

"Little Ah Qing, help me."

Xu Qing was expressionless. He raised his hand and reached into the Captain's mouth, fiddled for a while, and pulled out a glove.

I don't know how the Captain hid it. It was piled together, full of wrinkles. After being taken out, under the Captain's breath, it grew in the wind, directly becoming plump and returning to its original state.

It was the Five-Finger Girl.

She had just woken up and seemed a bit dazed. After flying out, she swayed and circled the Captain's head a few times, then cleared up, radiating happy emotions, waved at the Captain, and flew toward the clan.

Xu Qing noticed the Captain's gaze at the glove. It was a bit wrong, too gentle. This kind of gaze Xu Qing hadn't seen in the Captain before.

But he knew this was not the time to ask, so he didn't speak.

And the sealing of the clothing prohibition had basically taken shape at this moment. The black burial robe had been completely shrouded by the burial cloth.

Thus, according to the plan, an hour later, the Sword-Holding Court of Quzhao Prefecture coordinated a large number of human cultivators from this prefecture, and together with Yinghuang Prefecture, began to truly support the front line.

The army whistled and moved away from the clothing prohibition.

Majestic and earth-shaking.

As for Qing Qin, when the Yinghuang Prefecture army launched large-scale teleportation under the arrangement of the Sword-Holding Court and teleported one after another, it 'cawed' at Xu Qing, its eyes revealing a sense of parting.

It helped Xu Qing because of its big brother's entrustment, but this didn't mean it had no stance of its own and could follow through without hesitation.

It had no ill will toward the human race, but it couldn't be said to have good will either, especially in this kind of war between two clans. It didn't want to participate in it. This was also the reason why the Palace Master went to invite it before and was rejected.

Therefore, it was very willing to help Xu Qing and the others, but for the clan,

it was unwilling. Although from beginning to end, Qing Qin hadn't transmitted any divine thoughts and only relied on sound, Xu Qing, looking at the other party at this moment, could understand the other party's decision.

"Many thanks, Senior Qing!"

Xu Qing's expression was solemn. Standing on the giant ship, he bowed solemnly with cupped fists.

Qing Qin danced in the sky, its three heads looking at Xu Qing. Finally, after circling a few times, it let out a series of hisses.

Caw caw caw!

Amidst these hisses, its wings flapped, and its body let out a boom, rushing directly toward the firmament, going away at the edge of the sky.

Xu Qing gazed at the firmament until Qing Qin's figure completely disappeared. The Captain, who was only as tall as his knee, sighed.

"Didn't expect it. During this period, so many things actually happened."

Under the Captain's head, an infant's body had now grown. The chubby little hands and feet should have been cute, but topped with an adult's head, it made him look very strange.

Xu Qing swept his gaze around and found that everyone here was entering the teleportation array one after another. So he lowered his head to look at the Captain and asked via voice transmission, "Eldest Senior Brother, what exactly did you do inside?"

The Captain sighed.

"I'm also aggrieved. After we separated and teleported from the Ten-Intestine Tree, the place I appeared was this Clothing Clan. I met a good friend, Five-Finger Sister, here, so I proposed to go to a fun place in their clan. Didn't expect that as we walked, the clothing prohibition actually revived!"

"Revival is one thing, but it also swallowed my Five-Finger Sister!"

"Swallowed my Five-Finger Sister in front of me. What could I do? So I chased after it, entered the depths of the clothing prohibition, experienced nine deaths and one life inside, and finally saved Five-Finger Sister!"

"But you also know my personality. Am I the kind of person who suffers losses!"

"So in a fit of anger, I simply walked deeper, and then saw a big guy with a heart floating in mid-air. It should have been reviving and radiating fragrance. So to take revenge, I bit a few mouthfuls of the soul heart it needed for revival."

The Captain coughed, his two little hands behind his back, looking at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at the Captain. He recalled the face's cursing and extreme anger earlier. He figured it shouldn't be as simple as biting a few mouthfuls.

As for the Captain's words, Xu Qing could only believe half. Due to the information gap, he knew that the chaos of the clothing prohibition was indeed not caused by the Captain.

But Xu Qing didn't believe what the Captain said later.

He felt that with the Captain's personality, he must have done something earth-shattering inside. He figured that even the Sheng Lan clan hadn't expected that such an unpredictable variable would appear in their meticulous plan.

But ultimately, the ending was good, and it indirectly made the sealing smoother.

Thus, Xu Qing nodded, swept his gaze over the short Captain, and spoke slowly.

"In that case, I will record it for you, Eldest Senior Brother. It counts as a great service."

Hearing this, the Captain was beaming and laughed out loud.

"This is my Little Junior Brother. Haha, here, for you." In his happiness, the Captain looked around, took out a cyan crystal the size of an egg, and stuffed it into Xu Qing's hand.

This crystal was clearly sealed. At first glance, there was nothing, but only when held in the hand could one feel the astonishing fluctuations contained within. After Xu Qing caught it, his soul instinctively radiated a sense of longing.

Even the god's finger in the Ding-132 Heavenly Palace vibrated.

Xu Qing was moved. "What is this?"

"Cough, do you know why I said that big guy in the clothing prohibition had no brain?" The Captain smiled, blinked at Xu Qing, raised his chubby little hand, and pointed at the cyan crystal.

"It's here." Xu Qing gasped, looking at the Captain unbelievably.

"Eldest Senior Brother, what else did you eat?"

"Nothing, nothing. It's just half of the semi-divine body that big guy shaped for himself. Barely enough." The Captain let out a burp, his expression incomparably proud, and he swept his gaze toward Xu Qing rapidly, wanting to see Xu Qing's envy.

"Semi-divine?" Xu Qing asked.

"Of course. Sigh, it's just so-so. It's

not anything particularly good. Little Ah Qing, you came late. If you had come earlier, Senior Brother wouldn't have been so full, and there would only be this little bit left for you."

The Captain coughed. Although his words were humble, the pride on his face was full of showing off.

"Come, show Senior Brother an envious look."

Xu Qing nodded, letting his eyes fixate, and opened his mouth as if surprised. After putting on this set of expressions, he received the cyan crystal with peace of mind, preparing to absorb it continuously on the way.

"Sigh, Little Ah Qing, your expression is wrong. Come, come, add a clicking sound, and add an intake of breath." The Captain was dissatisfied and corrected him immediately.

Xu Qing felt it made some sense, so he tried it, but he couldn't do it well no matter what.

Seeing Xu Qing so obedient, the Captain felt proud in his heart, but on the surface, he shook his head.

"You, you still need training!"

Saying this, the Captain and Xu Qing left the giant ship and walked toward the teleportation array. He stretched, and asked casually via voice transmission.

"By the way, Little Ah Qing, what harvest did you have during this period?"

During the conversation, the Captain stepped into the teleportation array.

"Nothing much, just obtained a god's body."

Xu Qing transmitted calmly and stepped in as well.

Following the rumbling of the array, the Captain turned his head violently and seemed to shout something. Xu Qing didn't hear it clearly, only seeing the Captain's expression seemed to be gasping, then his eyes widened, revealing incredulity, and his tongue was bitten a little by his teeth after the intake of breath.

"Oh, so this is a clicking sound?" Xu Qing was thoughtful.

The next moment, the array light shrouded the surroundings, drowning them and the other two prefectures' cultivators in it. Yutian Prefecture.

The territory of this prefecture was long and narrow. On the left was Linlan Prefecture where the western battlefield was located, and on the right was Taihe Prefecture on the northern front.

The climate was mainly warm and humid, all four seasons were like this.

This climate also made the bodies of the various clans in Yutian Prefecture much larger than the cultivators of other prefectures. Those five-zhang-tall ones like the Miling clan that Qing Meng loved were everywhere.

Rain forests permeated the entire prefecture land, with occasional mountain peaks. Among every ten mountains, one was often a volcano, but they didn't erupt frequently.

Since the war, Yutian Prefecture, because of its geographical location, had been used as logistics. Supplies sent from the Prefecture Capital, unless specifically directed, had to be gathered here first and distributed to the two major battle zones in the northwest.

Therefore, this place was also to a certain extent within the battle zone, and it was left to the Si-Law Palace to guard.

It was just that although the vast majority of the Sheng Lan clan's army was firmly restricted to the border, because three prefectures of land were lost in the northern region before the war started, even if the coalition of various clans cooperated with the Prefecture Capital's forbidden items to form a large net to block them, there were ultimately some small Sheng Lan clan forces that entered the three prefectures.

They were good at hiding and had targeted magic treasures that could shield the forbidden large net for a short time, so unless great effort was spent searching, it was difficult to wipe them out.

Especially since they had all undergone specialized training. Most of them were Black-Clothed Guards. After breaking into pieces, it was even harder to be quickly wiped out.

And their main purpose was to destroy and intercept transportation in this battle zone.

After all, not all supplies could be put into storage spaces.

And not all items were suitable for teleportation array transport; there were still many that needed to be sent out by manpower.

At this moment, in Yutian Prefecture, outside a large teleportation point of Fenghai County, thousands of Black-Clothed Guards of the Sheng Lan clan were invading.

Each of them had extraordinary cultivation and astonishing combat power.

After all, to be a Black-Clothed Guard, like a Sword-Holder, was to be a leader in the place where they were located.

Although not every one of them could fight above their level, they often occupied a greater advantage in the same realm.

Now their mission was to destroy the large teleportation array here. This array covered a range of a hundred miles in radius. Looking from the sky, it was very vast. Every time it opened, theoretically, it could accommodate hundreds of thousands of human cultivators to appear at the same time.

At this moment, the sound of slaughter continuously came from the edge of the array.

Although there were many cultivators guarding this array, most of them were Si-Law Palace disciples, not as elite as the Sword-Holding Palace. Compared with the Black-Clothed Guards, they were naturally quite different.

Fortunately, they occupied a certain advantage in number. The coalition army and Sword-Holders in Yutian Prefecture also had some left behind. With the flashing of the teleportation array, they were rushing over.

However, the hundreds of magic tools floating in the sky from the Black-Clothed Guards were continuously radiating interference, making the operation of the teleportation array not smooth.

There were even some Black-Clothed Guard suicide bombers who broke through the blockade and exploded immediately after approaching the teleportation array. The fluctuations set off made the teleportation array turbulent.

But looking at it as a whole, the array was still intact, and everything was still orderly.

Those who broke through were also restricted to non-important areas. This was inseparable from Yao Yao Yunhui, who was responsible for the guarding work of this teleportation array.

As the Division Chief of the Precept Division of the Si-Law Palace, under her Spirit Repository cultivation and firm guarding and coordination, she had resisted too many invasions by the Black-Clothed Guards here.

And at this moment, she no longer had the coquettishness she had in the Prefecture Capital. She wore battle armor. Although her expression was permeated with fatigue, the murderous intent was also extremely obvious.

Under her arrangement, with everyone continuously encircling and suppressing, this surprise attack from the Black-Clothed Guards couldn't last much longer and was difficult to succeed.

And seeing that they couldn't attack for a long time, the Black-Clothed Guards who attacked this place had the intention to withdraw. Their leader's eyes revealed regret, and he coldly glanced at Yao Yao Yunhui in the distance. He knew that they couldn't stay for long, so he ordered a retreat.

But just as these thousands of Black-Clothed Guards were preparing to leave, and most of the human cultivators and coalition forces guarding this place were relieved, suddenly, the ground trembled.

This tremor was extremely abrupt, causing both sides to be surprised. At the same time, countless sand and gravel on the ground actually rose on their own in this tremor, as if a huge traction had descended from the sky, causing countless dust and sand to float in mid-air.

Not only that, but some loose buildings and broken stones, corpses, and blood were all unable to control themselves and rose into the sky at this moment.

Especially that blood, which turned into bloodstains flowing backward as it rose, shocking to behold.

The magic tools from the Black-Clothed Guards in the sky were also unable to continue interfering with the teleportation array, but instead exploded one after another under this fluctuation.

This scene shocked the heart and soul, making all the cultivators here tremble. They also noticed the source of all this. What caused this change did not come from the sky, but from the earth.

That giant teleportation array that permeated a hundred miles in radius.

This array was operating!

This intensity of eruption made everyone's breathing quicken. In fact, except for when the war just started, no such earth-shattering power had appeared since.

Only a super teleportation that was close to the carrying limit could cause the teleportation array to react like this!

This represented that the number of people arriving would reach hundreds of thousands.

"How is this possible!"

"Currently, our clan and the human race are intertwined on the front line. It is impossible for the human race to have any more troops arriving!"

"Even if it is a foreign clan, the possibility of this matter is also extremely small. We have notified all non-human clans in Fenghai County that after we occupy it, the interests of all clans will remain the same!"

"In such a situation, which foreign clan can arrive like this!"

Expressions changed one after another, and as their hearts and souls were shaken, the thousands of Black-Clothed Guards of the Sheng Lan clan who were originally going to withdraw saw that the hundred-mile teleportation array erupted with heaven-shaking light.

This light was dazzling and incomparably brilliant, instantly illuminating the dark sky, as if it had become daytime.

Even more so, amidst the flashing of this light, deafening rumbling sounds, sometimes large and sometimes small, spread in all directions from the array according to the same pattern.

"No matter what, we cannot let them operate this array smoothly!"

"All Black-Clothed Guards, charge with full force, stop the teleportation!"

Following the order of the Black-Clothed Guard leader, immediately, these thousands of Black-Clothed Guards rushed out one after another, heading straight for the teleportation.

"Block with all your might, kill anyone who approaches the array!" Yao Yao Yunhui's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she ordered sternly. She herself rushed out to block the leader of the Black-Clothed Guards.

And when a large teleportation array opens, it possesses its own pressure. This pressure, besides the array itself, will also borrow the power of the teleportation array itself.

Only in this way could it ensure that the teleportation was unimpeded.

Almost the moment these Black-Clothed Guards rushed over and were blocked by the Si-Law Palace cultivators here, earth-shattering sounds erupted from within the array. Amidst the rumbling, more than a hundred figures were revealed within!

The Black-Clothed Guards' judgment was correct, and it was also wrong.

What was correct was that hundreds of thousands or even more cultivators would indeed be teleported over, and what was wrong was that this first wave were all Void Returning cultivators!

The arrival of more than a hundred Void Returning cultivators caused the heavens and earth to change color, wind to rise and clouds to surge. The void in all directions was trembling, and the earth even showed signs of cracking.

The Black Guard's judgment was right, and it was also wrong.

"This... this..."

"How is this possible!"

"Human reinforcements!"

All the Black-Clothed Guards felt their scalps about to explode. Their expressions changed completely, and as their brains buzzed, they retreated rapidly. Compared to them, the Si-Law Palace cultivators were excited to the extreme.

"Human reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements have finally arrived!"

A month of suffering could be seen from the excitement of these human cultivators who were not on the front line but were in the battle zone. Their hardship made them need to continuously suppress the despair rising in their hearts to persist.

At this moment, some even cried, emitting excited roars.

Yao Yao Yunhui was also moved, and her expression appeared somewhat dazed.

She had thought that there would be no reinforcements, and she had thought that this war would only end in despair.

And they were all like this. One could imagine that those soldiers on the front line who were at the brink of life and death at every moment, the moment they saw the reinforcements not long after, would definitely be ten times or a hundred times more excited than the cultivators here.

The next moment, the ancestors of the various sects from Quzhao Prefecture and Yinghuang Prefecture on the teleportation array flew out in all directions in an instant. Some waved their hands, and the heavens and earth collapsed. Those thousands of Black-Clothed Guards were like paper, incomparably fragile, and directly collapsed and exploded, forming flowers of flesh and blood.

As if offering blessings for the arrival of the reinforcements, soon, these hundred-plus Void Returning cultivators spread out, checked the teleportation array, and ensured the safety of the surroundings. Amidst the excitement of the guarding cultivators, the array rumbled again.

Soon, the figures of hundreds of thousands of troops descended. Their appearance, gathering together and radiating aura, was violent to the extreme, causing the firmament to emit thunderous roars, continuously bursting in all directions, shaking heaven and earth.

It didn't end. As these hundreds of thousands of troops gathered rapidly, with the flashing of the array, another batch of army figures descended.

Shaking heaven and earth!

Until the million-strong army of the two prefectures all appeared, the figures of the Captain and others also descended here. And at this moment, the array light was still flashing, gathering the last figure.

As this figure continuously formed, everyone on the array was required to leave. The Captain was also among them. After the entire array was empty, the million-strong army of the two prefectures in the sky, under the solemnity of the two Sword-Holding Court Great Elders, all instinctively became heavy-hearted. They looked at the array, waiting for the figure within to gather.

Earth-shaking!

Vaguely, she felt a bit familiar.

Until the next moment, amidst the extreme flashing of the array light, that figure became rapidly clear.

Xu Qing stood there!

Almost the moment he appeared, the million cultivators in the surroundings, led by the two Sword-Holding Court Great Elders, bowed their fists toward Xu Qing.

No words, just a bow.

But the momentum formed by this bow of a million people was earth-shattering, causing the wilderness to rumble, the heavenly wind to echo, and thunder to burst in all directions.

There was even an invisible gathering of luck power.

Xu Qing looked up, gazing at all this.

He knew that the identity of the accompanying secretary actually didn't deserve this bow, but at this moment, he represented the Palace Master, so he could barely accept this bow.

And more importantly, the cultivators of Yinghuang Prefecture and Quzhao Prefecture were released under his leadership and appeared here.

Therefore, he deserved this bow!

Xu Qing bowed solemnly in return.

"Please, Secretary Xu, issue the order on behalf of the Palace Master!" In the firmament, the Great Elder of Yinghuang Prefecture spoke in a low voice.

"Reinforcements of Yinghuang Prefecture and Quzhao Prefecture, move at full speed, head to... the western front!" Xu Qing looked up, held the Palace Master's token high, and spoke loudly.

"Obey the decree!"

A million people roared in unison.

In the distance, Yao Yao Yunhui stood there, her brain buzzing, her expression dazed. Everything in front of her seemed to disappear, leaving only the tall figure in the array who was bowed to by a million people.

Deep in her heart and soul.

The human reinforcements of Yinghuang Prefecture and Quzhao Prefecture did not stay in Yutian Prefecture. The moment they teleported out, after Xu Qing issued the order on behalf of the Palace Master, the million-strong army whistled and moved.

In this battle zone, they moved rapidly toward the western front.

Yao Yao Yunhui and a group of Si-Law Palace cultivators had their own duties and did not follow. But after the army went far away, the people at this hundred-mile teleportation array still had huge waves in their hearts that couldn't dissipate.

Especially that figure who walked out of the teleportation array last and was bowed to by a million cultivators was deeply engraved in all their hearts.

"That is the accompanying secretary of the Sword-Holding Palace..."

"Xu Qing!"

"Heard that this Xu Qing and Yao Tou... have some conflicts."

The Si-Law Palace cultivators' degree of attention to Xu Qing was not as good as the Sword-Holding Palace, but they had also heard of it.

Especially in the early stages of the war, because the Sword-Holding Palace Master acted as the Prefecture Governor, Xu Qing stood by his side and was naturally the focus of the entire county. But no matter what, it was far less shocking than the scene just now.

And at this moment, some people remembered the rumors of the discord between Xu Qing and Yao Yao Yunhui, so they secretly looked at Yao Yao Yunhui.

Yao Yao Yunhui was silent.

Waves rose in her heart. The past events surfaced before her eyes, and after being vivid, they turned into complexity. Until half a quarter of an hour later, she suppressed the waves in her heart and ordered the Si-Law Palace in the surroundings.

"Strictly guard this teleportation array!"

Her identity, cultivation, and the experience during this period made Yao Yao Yunhui possess much more majesty.

At this moment, following the order, everyone in the surroundings bowed their heads and agreed, putting away the emotions stirred up by the arrival of the army.

But the arrival of the army still gave them hope for this war.

This hope was like fire, burning in Yutian Prefecture, rising in Linlan Prefecture, and even more so, it began to shine on the western front.

And at this moment, on the western front, the human race and the Sheng Lan clan, after experiencing a conventional battle that lasted thirteen days, were both resting briefly.

Looking over, the battlefield was divided into two distinct parts by a giant gully ten thousand miles away under the King Tianlan Mountain Range.

Ten thousand miles away outside the gully was the King Tianlan Mountain Range, which was originally the third gateway of Linlan Prefecture.

The vast area outside the mountain range, after separating the Tianmu Deep Pit and the Kyushu Plains, was the land of the Sheng Lan clan. But at this moment, looking from high altitude, the King Tianlan Mountain Range was like a giant dragon that couldn't struggle, lying there, having to submit and gasp for breath.

The whole could be seen to be broken in many areas, with many mountain bodies collapsed, emitting thick black smoke, and there were large amounts of magic tool fragments permeating in all directions.

That was the trace of war.

Here, it was originally the third line of defense for the human race against the Sheng Lan clan, but half a month ago, as the forbidden magic treasures of Fenghai County partially collapsed, this place was breached.

The human army had to retreat ten thousand miles, relying on the newly formed forbidden net to hold the fourth line of defense. So at this moment, there were no humans in the King Tianlan Mountain Range; there were only the Sheng Lan clan army wearing armor, with a number not less than several million, and even in the vast area behind the mountain range that the eyes couldn't reach the end of,

one could see more marching tents.

Within them were not only the Sheng Lan clan but also countless clans enslaved within the Sheng Lan domain.

As for the King Tianlan Mountain Range itself, it had been modified by the Sheng Lan clan in the past half month, building countless fortifications and setting up millions of sharp towers rising high.

Streaks of lightning wandered on the tower tips, forming a giant lightning net, shrouding in all directions. Within it, lightning was occasionally drawn and ascended into the sky, emitting deafening heavenly thunder roars, and also outlining the clear boundaries of the dark clouds, revealing countless behemoths appearing and disappearing in the sky clouds.

These behemoths were each a thousand feet in size, with a uniform rhombus shape, and a red single eye in the center.

Their number was not less than one hundred thousand. They existed in the boundless clouds and mist in the sky, spreading out on the battlefield of the front line, radiating terrifying pressure while also having buzzing operation sounds like giant beasts roaring, continuously echoing.

Wherever the sound passed, the void distorted, and all directions became blurry, like the murmurs of gods.

These were the war magic tools provided by the Black Heaven clan for the Sheng Lan clan. Their operation sound could destroy the heart and soul, the pressure they radiated could crush flesh and blood, and the magic techniques they released could collapse all directions.

And the most dangerous were the harvesters they radiated. That was a strange existence that could not be seen or perceived. They appeared on the battlefield, like death messengers carrying scythes, causing huge casualties to the human race.

Their strike was not just single-soldier combat, but also included releasing invasion.

The anomalies radiated from them were different from those radiated by forbidden areas and forbidden lands.

That was a severe pollution specifically targeted at the human race.

Within the range of the harvesters, the human race often didn't strike a few times before their bodies withered, and finally, the anomaly points in their bodies were detonated, becoming alien beasts that lost their sanity.

And these were just one of the Sheng Lan clan's war means. The sky of the battlefield was black, permeated with gloom, turning into oppression, and even more black snow fell.

These snowflakes were another means of the Sheng Lan clan.

At first glance, they were snow, but if one looked carefully, one could find that each of these countless snowflakes had thin hands and feet and ferocious faces.

They were everywhere, and could either form magic techniques alone or combine with each other to transform into divine abilities, spreading on the battlefield. If inhaled by human cultivators or stained on their bodies, they would become highly toxic.

And they changed endlessly, and could even transform into weapons in the hands of the Sheng Lan clan cultivators.

Impossible to guard against.

In the clouds and mist, there were rhombus magic tools; under the clouds and mist, there was endless black snow.

But these were not all.

The earth had been activated by the Sheng Lan clan.

Countless soil and corpses gathered to form giant broken hands, walking on the ground.

And with the appearance of each broken hand, the earth there would sink a part, and be rapidly filled by black snow.

On these earth broken hands, they were all holding black iron chains.

The iron chains were endless, spreading to the sky, passing through the clouds and mist, and gathering into the clouds and mist.

At the end of the sky above the clouds and mist, there existed a giant black vortex.

This vortex looked like a sun, rumbling and rotating, and all the iron chains spreading from the ground were deep into the vortex.

Following the pulling of the broken hands on the ground, the iron chains clattered, as if something even more terrifying was slowly being pulled out.

Bursts of foul-smelling aura also spread from within the vortex, forming more black clouds, turning into thicker black snow, continuously falling.

When the army of Yinghuang Prefecture and Quzhao Prefecture approached the front-line area and sent a request to the front-line headquarters, waiting for the decree to be allowed to approach, the Sheng Lan clan battlefield they saw was like this.

Xu Qing was in the army, gazing at all this, and a huge wave rose in his heart. At the same time, he also noticed the countless corpses on the battlefield.

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, skeletons like forests.

Xu Qing had experienced many slaughters in his life, but even he was shaken by this battlefield at this moment. The corpses were too many, too many

to count.

Most of them couldn't be pieced together. Wherever the eyes looked, it was flesh and blood, and wherever the nose smelled, it was foul stench.

War was like a heaven and earth millstone. Under mutual crushing, all things and living beings within it could not escape destruction.

The Three Spirits Suppressing Dao Mountain was already a purgatory on earth in Xu Qing's memory, but compared to here, it was insignificant. This was the true purgatory on earth. The Captain and others beside him were also gazing, all silent. ===== CHAPTER 497 =====

Almost half of it could not be pieced together; wherever one looked, there was only flesh and blood, and the tip of one's nose smelled only of stench.

War is like a grinding mill of heaven and earth; under mutual crushing, all living beings within it cannot escape being destroyed.

In Xu Qing's memory, the Three Spirits Town Dao Mountain was already a living hell, but compared to this place, it was insignificant. This is the true purgatory on earth. The Captain and the others beside him also looked into the distance, all falling silent.
