Chapter 336: Mazi Kasa's Fury

The smoke and dust cleared.

In the stunned gazes of the beast soldiers, Mu Yi crawled out of the deep pit.

Although he looked disheveled, Mu Yi truly did not die from the Divine Punishment.

"The power is far greater than I imagined!"

Mu Yi looked at the thin layer of Human Dao barrier that remained on his body.

Unlike any divine technique he had encountered before, this one was directly issued by the god named Mazi Kasa, a genuine Divine Punishment.

If it weren't for his earlier use of the Reincarnation Barrier during the great slaughter of the Ice Disaster—storing all the hostile Qi and souls on the battlefield and fully releasing them against the Divine Punishment— even the Human Dao barrier might not have held.

The Divine Punishment was truly terrifying; the extreme cold shield forged by the Ice Disaster, the Cloud Energy shield of the Human Dao army, Mu Yi's opened Reincarnation Barrier, and even Lily's protective spell—all combined, they were almost crushed to pieces.

But "almost" is still "almost"; since the Divine Punishment failed to kill Mu Yi, it was now his turn to strike back.

"Kill him; he has already suffered the Divine Punishment and is at the end of his strength!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill this heretic!"

A furious roar rang through the Beast army; the beasts, stalled by the ineffective Divine Punishment, instantly rekindled their frenzy and charged toward Mu Yi.

"I should be the one saying that!"

Mu Yi smiled as he opened the barrier; though there were slight deviations, it was still largely in line with his original plan.

At the final moment of the Divine Punishment, he used the authority of the Composite Net to send Senida and others back, sparing them from its damage.

However, correspondingly, he now had no external support.

But at this point, he no longer needed any external aid.

"Human Dao army, advance!"

The surging Human Dao army surged out of the barrier like a tiger leaping from its cage.

Having endured the Ice Disaster's surprise attack and the barrage of divine techniques, the Beast army's formation had long turned into a chaotic mess.

Especially when the priest wielding the divine technique roared, ordering the beast soldiers to kill Mu Yi, it completely shattered the Beast army's remaining cohesion.

In large-scale warfare, discipline must be strict, or it will become a scattered heap of sand.

At this moment, the completely irrational Beast army swarmed toward Mu Yi.

If it were a siege, it would still count as a human wave tactic.

But the beasts were surrounding from all directions.

"Kill through!"

Mu Yi led the charge at the forefront, with the Mu Family Army slashing toward the Beast's central formation.

A simple flanking maneuver threw the encircling beasts behind him.

The beasts that surrounded from all sides formed a circle; once gathered, they obstructed each other, blocking positions, and even fought among themselves in agitation.

The consequence of the god's supremacy is that amateurs end up commanding experts.

The god's spokesperson, the priest, stepped over the Beast commander and issued a foolish order, while the Beast commander could only remain silent before the priest.

Leading his personal guard and all the soldiers he could still command, he blocked toward Mu Yi's direction; he knew the opponent's objective must be the Beast priest.

If the Beast priest were slain, the army's divine techniques would have no successor, and when facing the human army, they would be utterly defeated.

When the Beast commander, with his beasts, blocked before Mu Yi.

Mu Yi understood this was his final opponent; as long as he cut through, victory would be within easy reach.

"Cut through them!"

Feeling the knife‑like cold wind left over from the Ice Disaster environment, Mu Yi's expression remained unchanged as he coldly ordered.

Unperturbed by enemies blocking his way, the Mu Family Army under Mu Yi's lead did not lose momentum; instead, it surged higher and higher!

By this point, Mu Yi no longer needed to contemplate the situation.

Kill through and you win; fail to cut through and you die.

No path ahead? Then cut through them and forge a bloody road yourself.

The legion's innate talent blossomed from Mu Yi, the radiant vengeance linking him with the soldiers behind, and they charged forward.

A rain of arrows erupted from the Mu Family Army's middle ranks, modeled after Wei Ke and others; after mastering the Tenfold Versatility, all their techniques reached an almost transcendent level, an ascent built upon the shoulders of giants.

Even though they had not yet completed the first tier of smelting, the Tenfold Versatility granted them mastery of myriad techniques.

There was no flamboyant brilliance or color, only simplicity and extreme efficiency!

Arrows and thrown spears fell on the Beast's line like raindrops, and hundreds of beasts fell under the savage assault.

The Beast side also began a ranged counterattack, but Mu Yi had already surged to the front of the line.

No evasion, all hide.

Mu Yi, leading the charge, barreled straight through the Beast's assault into their main formation.

Like meteors striking the earth, several beasts that directly blocked Mu Yi were instantly blasted away.

"Break it for me!"

At the moment of being halted, Mu Yi released the stored Cloud Energy in one breath.

The torrent of destruction swept the Beast's line in an instant; hundreds of beasts fell to the Cloud Energy attack, followed by another hundred surging forward, using their weapons to slay Mu Yi's soldiers and their armor and shields to block the onslaught—both sides sharing a death‑willing resolve.

In that moment, skill and tactics lost meaning; no extra words were needed—both sides contested only one thing: their will, life or death, nothing more!

Swords, spears, in this brutal war had lost their intrinsic value; a long spear pierced the enemy's body, yet the subsequent counterattack also claimed its wielder's life.

Death became the main theme, with lives ending every moment, the aura of death so thick it seemed ready to overflow.

But for Mu Yi, that was not a bad omen.

"Kill!"

Mu Yi let out a roar, blasting the beasts blocking his path to pieces; even weapons casually grabbed, empowered by the commander's divine power, became killing tools.

"Those who block me shall die!"

Crimson radiance surged skyward from Mu Yi's body; the Iron‑blooded Slaughter talent, which had never before been refined, was instantly completed, for a killing talent must be refined through killing.

Like a spring compressed to its limit and rebounding, Mu Yi's momentum surged, as if a single person could now suppress all the orcs.

The great sword he lifted in his hand delivered a fierce slash toward the frontal orc, cutting through its armor and cleaving its body.

Fresh blood splattered onto Mu Yi, absorbed by the crimson armor covering his body; the crimson light intensified, making Mu Yi appear like a demonic war god.

"Don't even think of passing through here!"

The orc commander brandished a massive axe, launching a surprise attack on Mu Yi from the shadows.

As followers of Mazikasa, they hide in the dark, and ambushes are their specialty.

Even though they wielded a massive axe, Mu Yi failed to notice them before the ambush.

"Boom!"

The massive axe shattered the weapon Mu Yi used to block, broke his crimson armor, and then lodged in his body like the tip of a spent crossbow.

Although a body forged from multiple stacked talents cannot reach diamond‑strong, it can still be called copper‑headed and iron‑armed.

A physique tougher than that of an adult Dragon displayed its exquisite resilience at this moment.

"Kill!"

Mu Yi seized the axe and roared as he hammered out a punch.

A stabbing pain emanated from the wound on his chest, but rather than shaking Mu Yi, it only heightened his ferocity.

With his eyes crimson, Mu Yi fully embraced the will of killing, displaying his terrifying power.

Even while constantly studying military strategy and command, Mu Yi never abandoned the power he relied on for survival.

"Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!"

Without a moment's pause, Mu Yi condensed the Six Paths True Intent onto his fist and struck the ambushing orc commander.

The forceful Reincarnation True Intent instantly left the orc commander stunned, his body flailing as he was hurled backward.

Mu Yi snatched the massive axe with his other hand and swept it forward.

The rotating massive axe, blazing with crimson light, sliced weapons, opponents, and any enemy daring to stand before it.

Whether ordinary orc soldiers or Transcendent orcs, a single swing of the axe cleaved them all; no orc could hinder Mu Yi in the slightest.

All the troops behind Mu Yi were infected by his momentum, crazily following him to charge the orc soldiers ahead.

Even these fanatical deity followers, before the massive army, seemed like precarious towers about to collapse.

The orcs fell into panic.

The seed of fear sprouted in their hearts; an enemy that even divine punishment cannot eradicate is not one they can defeat.

"The enemy commander is dead! Follow me and kill!"

With a single swing, Mu Yi cleaved the orc commander in two, roaring toward the heavens.

The momentum, already soaring, surged again; many of Mu's army, whose Tenfold Perfection had not been refined, nevertheless saw the Iron‑blooded Slaughter talent achieve a breakthrough on the battlefield.

Refining a single talent indeed proceeds faster and yields stronger power.

When multiple talents are simultaneously applied, strength does not leap qualitatively; it may seem to lag, yet it develops more comprehensively.

Only a single opportunity is needed to achieve a breakthrough.

In this world‑as‑battlefield ritual, Mu's army seized that opportunity, completing the refinement of the Iron‑blooded Slaughter talent amid frenzied killing.

Feeding on killing begets more killing; the troops charging behind Mu Yi grew ever stronger.

The unstoppable torrent engulfed everything.

Both sides' losses were nearly equal, yet the moment Mu Yi slew the orc commander, the fighting orc soldiers felt a sudden loss of morale.

After killing the orc commander, Mu Yi barely exerted effort to pierce the defense line and saw the orc priests at the army's center.

Mu Yi gazed at the three orc priests kneeling before the god statue, their prayers unmasked by the cold on his face.

All three orc priests were Legends; even together they might not kill Mu Yi, yet they could at least protect themselves.

But now they merely kneel before the god statue to pray—how tragic.

Rise by the gods, fall by the gods.

"Die!"

With no room for idle words, Mu Yi used the Judgment Pen and Life-and-Death Register to stir the battlefield's dense death aura, delivering a death verdict to the three orc priests.

He had expected a hard fight, yet the sorrowful orc priests, like lambs awaiting slaughter, were devoured by death.

Only when the orc priests' souls were absorbed by the Reincarnation Barrier did Mu Yi awaken as if from a dream.

"Boom!"

The massive axe swung down without mercy, shattering the god statue without resistance.

In the next instant, an angry roar thundered from the heavens: "Damn outsider, you are courting death!"

The dark clouds cloaking the sky were pierced, revealing the brilliant starry heavens above.

Suddenly, the battlefield's sky burst with ten‑thousand‑foot radiance; numerous Divine Realms that usually hide beyond the world revealed themselves, each hovering in the starry firmament, their intense light overwhelming the original colors of the sky.

Countless stars resonated, forming sacred silhouettes across the heavens.

They exuded myriad auras… seated high in the heavens, overlooking the earth.

Though their forms were indistinct, it was clear they were the many deities the orcs worship.

A figure began to solidify in the sky, the ethereal body coalescing at a visible speed; through the divine light enveloping its surface, a scorpion's tail could be faintly seen.

"Hehehe, this is petty, using divine power to descend and kill me!"

It's no wonder the scorpion deity named Mazikasa is enraged; regardless of today's war outcome, letting Mu Yi live and depart is a heavy blow to his faith.

For a believer, this is essentially fatal.

If not to prevent war among deities that would shatter the world.

The supreme beast deity of the beastfolk divine hierarchy decrees that a deity may not descend its true form to the lower world, and the lower world may not exceed the Legend limit.

What is descending now is not a clone formed by the scorpion deity's divine power, but the scorpion deity's true form itself.

In any case, Mazikasa must kill Mu Yi to prove his authority, otherwise his power of faith will inevitably be seized by other deities.

"Murdering a god? I haven't actually tried that yet!"

Mu Yi's face showed a cold smile; if it were a true form descending, he would have fled without a word, but this is merely a divine clone.

Especially when Mu Yi confirmed that this divine clone was only at the level of a 30‑level profession, his smile grew even colder and sharper.

A divine clone is certainly far stronger than an ordinary high‑grade Legend, yet it can still be fought one‑on‑one.

To demonstrate its divine might, the deity named Mazikasa can only use its own power against Mu Yi and his army, otherwise the living beastfolk would inevitably waver in their faith in it.

At this moment, the awe‑inspiring Mu Yi does not yield to this descending deity.

Enraged, Mazikasa, after fully coalescing its form, let out a roar, lowered its head toward Mu Yi, and said in a deep voice:

"Heretic, Mazikasa will judge your sins!"

"Your soul will be embedded in the netherworld, forever to endure torment!"
