Chapter 293: Three Hundred Mountain and Sea Guards

Accompanying the spatial transformation, Lin Qing had already appeared in a vast world featuring towering mountains, ice plains, deserts, and oceans.

The three battlefield spaces are each colossal worlds spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers in every direction, while the Source of Civilization Crystal Pillar is located at the center of the battlefield world.

However, even with the space suppression of the Source of Civilization battlefield world being extremely terrifying, Lin Qing's speed could not shift and break through the void; yet, simply using speed to create a warp bubble acceleration allowed his velocity to easily exceed ten million kilometers per second.

This was without employing the Mist Pigeon Secret Art.

Once the Mist Pigeon Secret Art is activated, one could cross the entire battlefield world in the blink of an eye.

"To fill the Source of Civilization Crystal Pillar of the Source of Civilization battlefield to its maximum value takes several hours."

Lin Qing was not in a hurry, casually maintaining a speed of ten million kilometers per second as he flew toward the world's center, while his clone within the Mountain and Sea Realm monitored the situation in the Void-level battlefield.

Soon, he had flown to the central area of this battlefield world and could already see that colossal crystal pillar, thousands of kilometers thick and so tall it seemed to support heaven and earth, emitting a source fluctuation that resonated with the entire battlefield world.

It was visible that a figure was already waiting near that world source crystal pillar.

Towering and immense, wearing a golden mask that covered the upper half of his face, with terrible dark flames faintly swirling around his body, the aura of a Void Divine Servant was even more terrifying.

It was none other than the Lord of the Cang Track.

"Oh?" The Lord of the Cang Track turned his head to look, offering Lin Qing a smile as he spoke: "Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm? I have long heard of your name; this is our second meeting, is it not?"

Lin Qing knew that his reference to the first meeting referred to the time forty thousand years ago when the Mountain and Sea Realm was just opened and joined the ranks of Second-Level Civilizations.

However, in his simulated futures, he had seen this Lord of the Cang Track several times.

"The Cang Track Civilization actually matching with my Mountain and Sea Realm Civilization is a bit too bizarre," Lin Qing said calmly.

"Mr. Lin, do not be angry; I do not know what the situation is either," the Lord of the Cang Track sighed. "I was truly surprised when I discovered this situation, but after all, this is the rule of the Void Sea's operation. Perhaps it is because the legacy of the Third-Level Civilization obtained by the Mountain and Sea Realm is more special, with hidden foundations too deep, leading to such a match."

He smiled and looked at Lin Qing, saying: "Rest assured, my Cang Track Civilization has no intention of fighting the Mountain and Sea Realm; Mr. Lin need not worry."

"Oh?" Lin Qing knew in his heart what the Lord of the Cang Track was planning.

Had he not experienced a simulated future beforehand, he might have truly believed the other party did not know.

Void Divine Servants indeed cannot influence the matching of civilization wars and cannot affect the operation rules of the Void Sea, but such a great existence as the Yu Xingyuan Monarch is certainly capable!

To the Yu Xingyuan Monarch, this vast Void Sea is merely a meal on a plate; after accumulating enough universal source, it will be targeted by the Yu Xingyuan Monarch, who will then pay a certain price to unleash the Great Nirvana.

How could the Lord of the Cang Track, as an Apostle of the Yu Xingyuan, not know this?

"Mr. Lin actually dispatched over three hundred people into the Void-level battlefield?"

The Lord of the Cang Track laughed, obviously having received the news, and then smiled: "However, even going through the motions is unnecessary; the other three civilizations did not even send personnel to fight. If you do not wish to suffer losses, simply giving up is quite good."

He smiled at Lin Qing and said: "Mr. Lin need not worry about casualties; as long as your three hundred-plus people stay in place and wait for the civilization war to end, our side will absolutely not make a move."

Lin Qing looked at him and said: "Oh? Is the Lord of the Cang Track preparing to win without fighting?"

The Lord of the Cang Track felt somewhat strange in his heart; was his meaning not very clear?

He had already given Lin Qing enough face by not intending to fight; as long as they coexisted peacefully, the Cang Track Civilization side could simply occupy the world source crystal pillar.

Did he not see that the other three civilizations did not send a single person and had already given up?

Did he not see that his strength clearly far surpassed Lin Qing's, yet he still maintained politeness and made no move to fight?

Why did the words of the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm sound as if he still wanted to fight?

"Mr. Lin, do not misunderstand."

The Lord of the Cang Track shook his head and smiled: "I merely wish to avoid conflict and casualties as much as possible; why increase casualties and sacrifices in a war where the outcome can already be determined?"

The world of the Cang Track Civilization is extremely vast, so the number of Void Beings dispatched into the Void-level battlefield is far greater than the standard one hundred thousand, with the upper limit of people entering the battlefield reaching as high as 1.25 million.

This time, to ensure absolute victory, the Cang Track Civilization indeed dispatched the one million two hundred and fifty thousand most elite Void Beings from the Cang Track World, each possessing strength above the twelfth layer of the Yu Xingyuan!

Among the million-strong army of Void Beings, the Thousand-Man Commanders who were the outstanding ones could be called peak experts among Void Beings, at least reaching the top level of the fourteenth layer of the Yu Xingyuan, while the ten commanders each possessed the peak level of the fifteenth layer of the Yu Xingyuan!

Under the suppression of such a massive army, mere numbers alone would cause ordinary Void Dominators to retreat.

And the Mountain and Sea Realm only sent over three hundred people; what could they do?

Facing such a huge gap, what else could be done but admit defeat?

Therefore, those three major civilizations simply did not send a single soldier or horse, choosing to admit defeat directly to minimize losses.

Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the best choice.

However...

"Is the Lord of the Cang Track not too overconfident?"

Lin Qing said calmly: "If my Mountain and Sea Realm wanted to admit defeat, there would be no need to send these three hundred people; simply admitting defeat like the other three sides would suffice."

The Lord of the Cang Track frowned slightly.

Could it be that the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm thought that merely three hundred-plus people could fight against the elite army of a million Void Beings?

"Does the Mountain and Sea Realm have some special tactic or method?"

This thought flashed through the mind of the Lord of the Cang Track; although he had no clone, his avatar was constantly observing the situation inside the three battlefields through the entrance of the battlefield world.

Experts from all civilizations were also broadcasting the situation of the three battlefields in real-time through the Second Universe Network; this civilization war was extremely special, so naturally, many people were paying attention.

However, all sides believed the Cang Track Civilization would undoubtedly win, and almost certainly win all three battles; the result was already destined, so there was nothing much to watch.

"Hmm?"

The Lord of the Cang Track watched the Void-level battlefield through his avatar, and when he discovered that the three hundred people on the Mountain and Sea Realm side in the Void-level battlefield began to move, his eyes suddenly changed.

At this moment, on the Void-level battlefield, the three hundred-plus people of the Mountain and Sea Realm side and the million-strong army of Void Beings of the Cang Track Civilization finally made contact.

What concept is a million-strong army of Void Beings?

Even if scattered, they form a dense, vast expanse; with a single massive combined attack calculated by commanders, the terrifying power would force even a Void Dominator to hide.

Compared to this, the three hundred and three Void Beings of the Mountain and Sea Realm side were not even a fraction of a fraction of their numbers; once surrounded, they were so few as to be negligible, with the enemy vastly outnumbering them to a pitiful extent.

However, as those three hundred figures moved, they were enveloped by invisible ripples; beneath those layer upon layer of spreading waves, spatial distances were rapidly reduced and compressed, and their forward speed was absurdly fast.

The commanders of the Cang Track Civilization side, leading the million-strong army of Void Beings, also found it hard to believe; did these three hundred people really intend to fight their side?

But upon noticing the speed of these three hundred people, they realized something was wrong.

It's truly too fast!

Can Void Beings actually be this fast?

"First Squad, advance using the 'Thousand Abyss' secret technique."

Among the three hundred-plus figures of the Shanhai Realm, Qi Lingxiao, as the overall commander, flew at extreme speed at the front of the formation; Mo Luo and Yuan Xueqiu followed closely behind him, while the three hundred Void Beings of the Shanhai Realm forming the rear were the 'Shanhai Guards' cultivated by the Shanhai Realm over these years.

Three hundred Shanhai Guards, divided into three squads of one hundred each, with every squad cultivating a specific secret technique.

At this moment, the 'Thousand Abyss' secret technique cultivated by the First Squad was what allowed them to advance at high speed.

In terms of speed, every member of the First Squad rivaled those among the peak experts of the Yu Xingyuan Fifteenth Layer who specialized in speed; naturally, assisting the entire army's advance now made them astonishingly fast!

In the blink of an eye, the three hundred-plus figures had swept across countless billions of kilometers of mountains, plains, and oceans, charging into the attack range of the Canggui Civilization's million-strong army!

"Combined Strike!"

Upon receiving the command of the Lord of Canggui, the ten commanders issued military orders, guiding and directing the million-strong army to attack simultaneously and launch a combined strike.

This million-strong army had been bred and selected specifically for the civilization wars of the Canggui Civilization; compared to other experts of miscellaneous types, they were most skilled at combined strikes and encirclement attacks!

"Boom boom boom——!!!"

The terrifying momentum of the million-strong army launching a simultaneous attack was as if it would destroy heaven and earth; the power of countless attacks of various colors merged into streams, coalescing into a massive sky-covering canopy capable of annihilating everything!

In the blink of an eye, that terrifying canopy descended from the heavens, pressing down directly upon the three hundred figures of the Shanhai Realm!

Even a Void Sovereign, without the protection of a Seven-Colored Divine Artifact, would likely have no choice but to flee!

Those three hundred-plus figures were like a small boat about to be swallowed by an all-encompassing tsunami, looking quite pitiful.

It seemed as though in an instant, they would be completely turned to nothingness by this terrifying combined strike.

However—

"Second Squad, 'Tilted Sky Realm'!"

At Qi Lingxiao's command, the one hundred members of the Second Squad among the three hundred Shanhai Guards immediately each unleashed another secret technique!

In an instant, layers of incredibly deep darkness were released from the bodies of these one hundred people; in a moment, they overlapped, transforming the heavy black curtains into an immensely thick dark space that was about to shelter everyone within!

"Boom!!"

The power of the Canggui Civilization's million-strong army's combined strike fell instantly, completely covering the thousand-li area where the three hundred Shanhai Guards stood; the countless attacks merged into a terrifying torrent that erupted fully, and under the ravages of this incomparably terrible power, whether mountains or rivers, were instantly pulverized into the most minute particles!

If the battlefield space were not stable enough, this entire space would likely have collapsed directly.

And the three hundred Shanhai Guards within were bearing the brunt of this terrifying combined strike power!

Even a Void Sovereign with weaker survival capabilities, if daring to withstand it head-on, could have died under this wave of combined strike!

However—

After the endless energy flows gradually dissipated, the dark space formed by the merging layers of the dark canopy remained intact, and was even still advancing!

"Impossible!"

The million Void Beings of the Canggui Civilization side were stunned, simply unable to believe their eyes.

How could a mere three hundred Void Beings survive under such a terrifying combined strike?

The experts from various factions outside watching this civilization war also felt an incredible shock and unbelievable doubt in their hearts.

The Shanhai Realm was born less than forty thousand years ago; how could it have so many experts?

Even though they could not sense the aura due to the obstruction of the battlefield space, those with any eye for judgment could determine this—

Even if that wall-like defensive power was skilled at joint defense, it would require every one of the three hundred people to rival the level of those specializing in defense at the Yu Xingyuan Fifteenth Layer to withstand this combined strike!

But only Lin Qing and these Shanhai Guards on the Void-level battlefield knew clearly—

After cultivating the 'Tilted Sky Realm' secret technique to its extreme, everyone's defense could rival the peak level of those specializing in defense at the Yu Xingyuan Fifteenth Layer!

United by one hundred people, in terms of defense, they were far stronger than many Void Sovereigns who specialized in defense!

Let alone the combined strike of the Canggui Civilization's million-strong army; even if there were ten times more, it might not be able to break the combined defense of the Second Squad of the Shanhai Guards!

"Hahaha!"

Qi Lingxiao, charging at the front of the three hundred Shanhai Guards, suddenly laughed loudly; a long staff-shaped Seven-Colored Divine Artifact emitting a terrifying aura appeared in his hand, and immediately he swung the staff, smashing it down upon the million-strong Canggui Civilization army ahead!

Terrifying power erupted with a boom; a massive golden staff shadow tens of thousands of kilometers long swept across directly!

The momentum of this vast power was so terrible, it was just like the combined strike of a million-strong army!

"Boom!!"

Under the hasty defense of the Canggui Civilization's million Void Beings, even though they blocked most of the power of this terrifying staff shadow, the remaining power was still irresistible, instantly turning fully ten thousand people into the most minute particles!

With one staff strike, tens of thousands of Void Beings were directly swept away.

The power of this single staff strike was so terrifying that it even stunned the million-strong army.

"A peak expert of the Yu Xingyuan Sixteenth Layer!!"

"Impossible!"

"Besides that Lin Qing, does the Shanhai Realm actually have such a terrifying expert?"

"Even with a Seven-Colored Divine Artifact, the strength is too terrifying, isn't it?"

"It must be a peak expert of the Yu Xingyuan Sixteenth Layer!"

"More terrifying than many Void Sovereigns..."

The various factions watching the battle from outside were all dumbfounded.

A peak expert of the Yu Xingyuan Sixteenth Layer, even alone, would dare to fight this million-strong army!

At the same time, the Third Squad among the three hundred Shanhai Guards also began to act.

"Secret technique, 'Aurora Feathers'!"

Suddenly, azure light feathers resembling flying feathers erupted from the bodies of one hundred Shanhai Guards, transforming into long rainbows piercing the sky, roaming wildly!

Every single long rainbow could kill a large group of the Canggui Civilization's army!

Like reaping wheat, the Canggui Civilization's million-strong army was continuously harvested and perished!

The first squad provides flexible support, dodging and charging; the second squad is responsible for defense and protection; the third squad is tasked with killing!

This is the three hundred Shanhai Guards!
