Chapter 1071

Puny humans!

Xuanwu stood before Wu Tie, his whole body flashing with seven-colored crystal light, bathing Wu Tie in a dazzling haze.

His body, armor, and the massive totem pole in his hand were all forged from crystal stone. Xuanwu's form was covered with countless triangular, quadrilateral, and pentagonal facets; even the faintest spark of fire would refract within him into a brilliance like the sun.

Wu Tie gazed solemnly at Xuanwu, feeling a faint sting in his eyes.

This guy is really too flashy.

"Xuanwu?" Wu Tie asked back.

"You know my name? Haha, those foolish traitors who betrayed the gods—were they struck down by your hand?" Xuanwu pointed at Wu Tie, smirking strangely: "Wu Tou, did you defect to him?"

Chi Kui, who was facing off against Wu Jin nearby, let out a low growl, then turned and glared fiercely over here.

On all sides, the evil demon armies and the divine legions were locked in fierce combat with Wuguo's great army, tangled together. Countless terrifying divine arts rained across the sky, and amidst the thunderous booms, a small Slaughter God Vessel was smashed to pieces.

Wuguo's soldiers suffered heavy losses.

The shattered Slaughter God Vessel kept exploding, likewise blasting large swaths of evil demons and divine spirits into bloody fragments.

On this meat-grinder battlefield, even a slight disadvantage meant total annihilation—no exceptions, not even for Venerable beings.

Luo Chen and his group had already brought people into the fray, mingling with countless evil demons and divine spirits.

Only the four Wu brothers—Wu Tie, Wu Jin, Wu Yin, and Wu Tong—boldly faced the four great leaders: Xuanwu, Chi Kui, You Zu, and Xu Po.

Amidst the chaos, with flesh and blood flying across the battlefield, only this small patch of theirs fell into an eerily temporary silence.

Behind the four Wu brothers gathered over a thousand of the Wu clan's strongest Venerables.

Behind Xuanwu and his allies likewise gathered over a thousand of the mightiest God King powerhouses.

"Wu Tou, it's not that he defected to me—I hold his life and death in my hand." Wu Tie answered Xuanwu's question: "Well, they can survive as slaves of our human race, they can live on, while you lot will die here."

Wu Tie confidently made a throat-slashing gesture toward Xuanwu: "You, these so-called divine spirits, will die here."

"You treat humans as penned livestock, as field-grown scallions, recklessly harvesting them for countless years. But enough—enough already." Wu Tie said in a deep voice: "We will no longer tolerate such things…"

Xuanwu raised the massive crystal totem pole in his hand and roared low: "But you cannot resist! Even if you harbor heavens‑shaking rage, you can only endure!"

"Our might is beyond what you puny humans can imagine. We can, and should, do as we please, act wantonly. Whatever we want to do, we can do; whatever we wish to do, we will surely accomplish!"

Xuanwu bellowed: "You are not only weak, but base. Look at those warriors in our divine legion we brought… hahaha, those human soldiers are our lackeys, our slaves—where do they come from?"

You Zu chuckled beside him: "They are… some of your humans who worship us… our lackeys, the sacrificial offerings we receive."

We treat them as pets, as playthings; among us gods, some have *** with them, giving birth to mixed-blood demigods.

They intermarry, and their descendants, from childhood, receive our education, receive our influence; we tell them that we gods are the greatest existence in the world, and they are born destined to be the most lowly slaves.

Such education, such influence, repeated a thousand times, ten thousand times, a million times, a hundred million times…… they become, from body to soul, utterly our gods' most devout yet most lowly slaves and lackeys!

Look, how brave they are in battle, how fearless they are in killing enemies; look at their expressions, look at their movements, hahaha, they hate the human bloodline, they hate their own lowly bloodline…… they want to accumulate merit, they want to completely replace their bloodline with our gods' -essence-blood!

You Zu loudly mocked: "Do you know? You humans, you can never possibly rebel against us gods."

Xu Po laughed darkly on the side: "Do you know? During the Primordial God War, you humans had not yet experienced a true defeat; among you, some already regard us as the supreme 'Sovereign' and 'Creator' to worship!"

In the hearts of you humans lies a base nature!

Among you humans exist countless base beings; they despise their own clan, look down on their own bloodline, trample their own civilization, defile the culture and morality inherited from their bloodline…… They firmly believe that only ours gods' is the best; they firmly believe that everything of you humans is base, dirty, backward, decaying……

So, Xuanwu is right.' Xu Po gave a sinister 'hehehe' laugh: 'Xuanwu is right; you may be furious, and among you, perhaps every now and then a brave one, a wise one, a king, even a sage may arise.'

You humans will always have a period when brilliant brilliance bursts forth, but because of your base nature, after your rise you will continually fall into decline.

The Wa clan cannot save you; the Xi clan is likewise…… indeed, the Xi clan has already sunk to become the greatest tumor within you!

Xu Po sighed softly: 'You are angry, you resist, you awaken, you firmly believe your humans can be great enough to stand equal with us gods…… but in the end, you will weaken, you will weaken further due to internal strife and division.'

Let us harvest you, let us enjoy you…… you want to resist, but you can never succeed!

Xu Po chuckled lightly: 'Can you imagine? Among you humans, how many kings of divine nations, how many exalted dignitaries, would offer their firstborn as a sacrifice to us gods?'

You think that this time, our gods' lackeys, those demons and monsters, could so quickly and swiftly breach so many human kingdoms, is it really because they are too powerful?

No, no, no…… you think too simply, you are truly too naive!

The strongest fortress often begins to crumble from within. Your humans' base nature has remained unchanged for so many years!

Xu Po laughed brightly.

Wu Tie also laughed brightly: 'I remember you, you are that fellow who, when your strength wasn't yet strong, just eagerly sent me three supreme divine artifacts…… you fool, right?'

Your voice, your appearance, and your despicable, lascivious act of hiding your body in black mist.' Wu Tie solemnly bowed to Xu Po: 'Those three supreme divine artifacts of yours helped me greatly in my early rise; otherwise, I would not have obtained this supremely powerful Grand Dao Forge.'

Thank you…… I am sincere!

Wu Tie laughed brightly.

The atmosphere in this small battlefield instantly became even more eerie.

Xuanwu, You Zu, and Chi Hui all turned their gaze to Xu Po; You Zu whispered: 'Your Highness Xu Po, no wonder your presence among us has been dwindling these years—you never flaunt your supreme divine artifact to show off your strength…… so that's how it is!'

Chi Hui rubbed his chin with his big hand, then muttered softly: 'Having lost your supreme divine artifact, then your Dark Soul God Clan's status as a frontline observer…… uh…… we Barbarian Gods are straightforward, we say what we think…… uh…… this…… Xu Po, do you think you still have the qualification to claim a throne in the Heavenly Crystal Battle Star?'

Xu Po's body shook violently, he shouted hoarsely: 'At this moment, should we not first destroy these humans' resistance?'

Xu Po hoarsely yelled: 'What are you thinking in your heads?'

Xuanwu said in a low voice: 'The humans' resistance is so weak; we can surely utterly annihilate all of their resistance…… but our internal problems, I think……'

Wu Jin, Wu Yin, and Wu Tong opened their mouths wide, dazed for a long time.

These godly bigwigs had just ranted on about humans' base nature, belittling humans to that extent while elevating themselves to that level——but isn't this just stabbing themselves in the back?

This is, no face given, directly tearing apart the façade?

You vie for power and profit to this extent, internal chaos to this degree, you…… dare to criticize, you even have the qualification to criticize humans' base nature?

'Heh, hehe'!

Wu Jin and his brothers, together with the large group of Wu tribe warriors behind them, simultaneously sneered.

Wu Tie simply sheathed his long sword, stepped back a few paces, and said solemnly: 'Everyone, continue, continue…… indeed, I admit that our humans' resistance is just a thin gruel, devoid of any strength.'

Indeed, the Xi clan has grown into a tumor within our humans; the elderly ladies of Wa Island have also become senile…… well, the Wa and Xi clans are insufficient to lead our humans forward, unable to make our humans strong.

So, we humans are doomed; we are willing to give up resistance, you just keep… attacking, don't shout uselessly about not attacking!

I've long found this guy shrouded in black aura unpleasant; kill him…… if you don't want to get your hands dirty, why not step back a few paces and let us do the dirty work?

Wu Tie's smile grew brighter and brighter.

Xu Po jumped up in agitation: "Xuanwu, You Zu, Chi Yi, are you really this stupid?"

Wu Tie immediately cut off Xu Po's words: "Your Highness Xu Po, have you thought this through? Today they intend to strike at you, heh…… why not simply cooperate with me? We'll coordinate inside and out, take down those three…… and then I'll let you go?"

Of course, we can sign a fair ally contract.

You've realized you've lost three supreme divine artifacts, your strength is vastly inferior to theirs…… weakness is original sin, after losing the protection of those artifacts, your days as the Dark Soul God Clan at the observation outpost won't be easy, eh!

You, and your people, will die!

Wu Tie vividly described to Xu Po the possible tragic fate awaiting the Dark Soul God Clan.

Xu Po and the Dark Soul God Clan's god‑king‑level experts behind him suddenly flickered and had already fled dozens of li away.

"Oh! A wise choice!" Wu Tie clapped and laughed: "Your Highness Xu Po, just stand by and watch; I hope you will make the right decision at the right moment. They have already conceived killing intent toward you, while I, I actually harbor no real hatred toward you—we have room for cooperation, don't we?"

At this moment, Wu Tie was no longer a fearless warrior; he had become no different from some crafty, old‑fox clan chiefs and elders among the human populace.

Xu Po and the people behind him, the black and gray mist on their bodies surged rapidly.

Xuanwu, Chi Yi, and You Zu stared blankly at the fleeing Xu Po; You Zu muttered: "This idiot…… how could he lose all three supreme divine artifacts at once…… this idiot, what should we do now?"

You Zu and the others were truly plunged into extreme contradiction.

What should we do?

If we fight Wu Tie, Xu Po and his people could turn on us at any moment.

If we strike at Xu Po, Wu Tie will certainly not stand by.

Moreover, Xu Po's true form remains in the Tianjing War Star, and he still has many of his people there, ready at any moment to send reinforcements down.

If the Dark Soul God Clan members inside the Tianjing War Star were to suddenly strike, and the suppression were not timely, any damage to the interior of the Tianjing War Star would undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire observation outpost.

All the deities' arrangements at the observation outpost—every divine formation, restriction, even the encirclement that blankets the whole Mu Dalu—are realized relying on the Tianjing War Star!

Wu Tie smiled; now he was no longer in a hurry to act.

With his hands clasped behind his back, calm and composed, he gazed at Xuanwu standing before him.

"Decision paralysis, exactly—I understand your inner turmoil and contradiction." Wu Tie nodded seriously: "So, don't rush, don't rush, think slowly; I believe you will surely make the most appropriate choice."

Wu Tie is not in a hurry.

The gods take Xuanwu and his four as their leaders; without their command, the divine army is just a loose sand.

On the Wuguo army's side, ministers and generals such as Pei Feng, Lao Tie, and Xiahou Wuming plan the campaigns; the Wuguo army is a strong, united whole, and although it also suffers losses on the battlefield, its losses are far smaller than those of the opposing gods and demons.

As long as we restrain Xuanwu and his four, what chance does a scattered divine army have against the Wuguo army?

Outside the Wahuang Miao, on the hilltop, Qing Niang, fingering the murderous dagger, gave a soft laugh: "If I could help humanity annihilate the invading divine army…… placing this merit on Yao'er's shoulders would be no less than that brat Wu Tie's, wouldn't it?"

"With the help of these passionate youths, the 'Hidden Dragons'…… the throne of the Human Emperor is within easy reach!"

Qing Niang smiled, and strands of spiritual light flickered above her head.

She began to communicate with the Wa clan's ancestral spirit realm, contacting clusters of ancestral spirits that hung there like blazing suns, exuding a terrifying aura.

Wave after wave of violent and terrifying soul power howled into Qing Niang's body.

Her body burst open violently.

Then, following the five invisible soul channels in the void, the Wa clan's ancestral spirits in the ancestral realm—whose immense soul power could destroy everything—swiftly slammed onto the soul‑origin imprints of Xuanwu, Chi Yi, Yi Zun, Xu Po, and You Zu.

With a wail, the bodies of Xuanwu, Chi Yi, Xu Po, and You Zu on Wa Island exploded outright, utterly annihilated.
