Chapter 763

On the tops of the twelve ice pillars, Xuanming Bu Lao and the others appeared foolishly.

They looked at Wu Tie standing outside the formation, and in their peripheral vision they naturally also saw the horrifying battlefield of flesh and blood beyond the military city, on the wilderness.

A mournful horn sounded, and another wave of snow plains warriors charged toward the military city.

Inside the city walls, countless dwarves and mermen laughed loudly, their voices hoarse but still loud; volleys of rune firearms boomed, thumb‑sized armor‑piercing rune pellets were hurled with great force over ten li, instantly slaying large numbers of low‑level snow plains warriors.

Even more terrifying were the arrows of the wood spirits.

Like a torrential rain, the arrows poured down, piercing each snow plains warrior's body and pinning them to the ground.

Some warriors were killed instantly; others were pinned to the ground, emitting mournful wails but unable to die, only able to struggle on the ground, dazedly gripping the arrow shafts embedded in their bodies, trying to pull out the poisoned arrows.

A piercing whistle came from the high sky; the Four Spirit Warships coordinated with the war boats, and tens of thousands of large and small warships opened fire together.

The earth trembled, balls of fire raged and exploded, mushroom clouds shot up incredibly high, countless bodies were torn apart and flung far away.

In the air, dozens of elders from the Wuguo clans and aristocratic families shouted in unison; a dozen or so assassins of the Dao Clan who had just broken through to the Divine Realm by using the Heavenly God Command suddenly flashed out, their swords gleaming, and a dozen or so snow plains tribe elders, drenched in blood, fell from the sky.

Dozens of dazzling light pillars shot straight into the sky.

A round‑disc‑shaped secret treasure flew out of Wu Tie's sleeve; within the light pillar, strands of soul power and threads of blood‑essence qi were continuously sucked into the treasure.

Wu Tie said in a low voice: "Enough. Will you lead your people and roll back to the snow plains?"

Wu Tie had his hands behind his back, his fingers subtly changing hand signs.

The Five Elements Daoist, Yin‑Yang Daoist, and Canghai Daoist stationed in the city immediately ordered the giant‑god army inside the city to prepare to sortie en masse; the countless giant‑god soldiers who had been heavily consumed in previous battles immediately sat down where they stood, began to devour primordial crystals and replenish energy.

Lao Tie leaned on his spear, standing on the city wall's battlements, he glanced back at those giant‑god soldiers sitting on the ground.

"Each generation is worse than the last……these little fellows, their craftsmanship is seriously lacking. Tsk, back then Grandfather I could fight continuously for years without needing to recover qi, you lot now……tsk……Da Tie, your skill needs work."

Lao Tie sighed a few times, then fixed his gaze intently on Xuanming Bu Lao and the others.

Wu Tie had already told Lao Tie that these snow plains tribes were always a great threat, and Wu Tie could never allow them to return to the snow plains.

The gods have gone mad; all kinds of strange calamities may descend at any moment.

Wu Tie could not possibly indulge this batch of murderous embryos of the snow plains tribe, let them return comfortably to the snow plains, and continue to threaten Wuguo in the future.

Xuanming Bu Lao suddenly let out a strange laugh: "Wu King Wu Tie, have you gone mad? Retreat? Let us old ancestors lead the children back north? Hahaha, you really are still too naïve!"

Xuanming Bu Lao spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground disdainfully and said: "Oath? Pah, what nonsense is an oath?"

Wu Tie immediately produced the blood‑oath soul pearls of Xuanming Bu Lao and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid of the oath's backlash?"

Xuanming Bu Lao and the others laughed coldly in unison, their bodies began to slowly sink into the ice pillars, and they said with one voice: "Oath backlash? The Nine Heaven Supervising Script Profound Darkness Grand Formation forms its own heaven and earth, and with the supreme divine artifacts of the gods supporting it, why would we fear a mere oath backlash?"

Wu Tie let out a light sigh.

Indeed so.

He crushed the blood‑oath soul pearl; just as Xuanming Bu Lao and the others had said, waves of strange fluctuations spread from the shattered pearl, but before these fluctuations could touch the Profound Darkness Grand Formation, they were completely pulverized by waves of terrifying cold qi.

The Profound Darkness Grand Formation, which self‑creates heaven and earth, perfectly isolated the backlash of the blood‑oath power.

Indeed, for truly powerful beings, blood oaths and karmic retribution are nothing.

Having penetrated the Profound Darkness Grand Formation, Xuanming Bu Lao roared to the heavens: "Offer sacrifice……offer sacrifice……On the battlefield, the flesh and souls of all the fallen children are what we offer to the gods as sacrifice!"

The earth shook violently.

The area covered by the Profound Darkness Grand Formation was rapidly expanding.

Vast expanses of azure cold light shrouded the land; countless flesh and blood turned into ice crystals that flew upward, threads of blood light and threads of soul qi shot straight into the high sky.

Countless snow plains tribe warriors went berserk; a thick layer of ice armor appeared out of nowhere on their bodies, they writhed, step by step, slow but determined, carrying a fierce, death‑defying killing qi, and charged straight at the military city.

Pellets flew, arrows swept, tens of thousands of strong beams of light fell in waves from above.

On the city walls, moreover, powerful experts from Wuguo, the Fuxi Divine State, and Chiyang Shen Shan took action, and various mighty divine powers kept raining down from the sky.

Huge mountains crashed down, long rivers swept wildly across the ground.

Moreover, the ferocious gods and evil fiends of the Four Ferocious Families howled as they clashed back and forth, swallowing vast numbers of snow plains tribe warriors.

The more snow plains tribe warriors were slain, the faster the Profound Darkness Grand Formation's coverage expanded; the temperature between heaven and earth became ever more bitterly cold, the air froze into hexagonal ice crystals that fell, striking the ground and producing a piercing cracking sound.

With a "crack" sound, although the military city's city‑wall formation protected it, it was still frozen open with cracks wide enough for a person to pass through.

Xuanming Bu Lao's wild, hysterical laughter shook heaven and earth: "Wu King, and you little brats of Wuguo, go die, go die! Haha……You killed our seven brothers, seven brothers, you all deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"

Eleven huge faces appeared in the cold wind and dark clouds high above; they opened their mouths and spewed forth streams of Profound Darkness Qi.

This is the most yin‑cold innate qi; just a breath of it descending caused the innate spirit weapons of many Wuguo clan elders and aristocrats standing on the city walls to shatter into countless pieces of yin‑cold, bone‑piercing fragments scattered all over the ground.

Wu Tie stared coldly at the huge faces of Xuanming Bu Lao and the others.

He slowly raised his right hand and gave a cold smile: "Xuanming Bu Lao, you and I share the same origin……Everything you know, I know as well! Even what you have not understood after sleeping for so many years, I also understand!"

"A broken, lame Nine Heaven Supervising Script Profound Darkness Grand Formation……Give it to me……shatter!"

Wu Tie reached out and fiercely pulled at the void.

Countless extremely fine gray‑white light lines appeared out of nowhere, each a hundred or a thousand times thinner than a hair.

One end of these light lines lay within the huge Profound Darkness Grand Formation, which was howling and rolling, almost freezing heaven and earth; the other end lay in Wu Tie's hand.

Wu Tie grasped the gathered light lines with one hand, and the entire Profound Darkness Grand Formation trembled violently.
