Chapter 919

Wu Jin, Wu Yin, and Wu Tong brothers were mixed among the Wu tribe elders, likewise standing on the altar above.

They were tall and sturdy, exuding a strong life force.

The three brothers had complex expressions, looking back at Wu Tie.

Wu Tie nodded to the three elder brothers, smiling without speaking.

Additionally, nearly a hundred Wu tribe youths selected for their strongest cultivation, best aptitude, highest activation of Wu tribe bloodline, and who had already displayed powerful innate divine abilities stepped forward, and Wu Tie incorporated them into the Canghai Divine Pearl.

With Wu Tie's current cultivation, activating the Primordial Crown to accelerate time inside the Canghai Divine Pearl and improve people's cultivation progress, a hundred people at once is already the limit.

Indeed, because of the existence of the Wu tribe's Wu formation, these Wu tribe elders, as well as Wu Jin and these Wu tribe brothers, each of their foundations far surpasses that of the so-called "Heaven's Pride of the Sui Dynasty" like Wind Entropy and Wind Luxuriant.

The stronger their foundation, the greater the consumption when Wu Tie bestows time acceleration upon them.

With Wu Tie's current cultivation, maintaining time acceleration for a hundred people at once is already his limit.

But obviously, the Xuan Gu Demon Ancestor and the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor have gathered all the big and small demons of the entire Demon Kingdom to serve as sacrifices; what an enormous number of sacrifices.

According to Wu Tie's estimate, sacrificing all the demons of the Demon Kingdom could condense Dao Seals and allow reaching the Revered level, and even if Pei Feng, Wu Jin and their foundations were stronger, it would absolutely not be just a mere hundred people.

While activating the Primordial Crown to bestow blessings upon the hundred Wu tribe youths inside the Canghai Divine Pearl, Wu Tie also raised his head to look at the four old monsters and old demons fighting in the void.

"Xuan Gu Demon Ancestor, Blood Sea Demon Ancestor, are they up to something else?" Wu Tie muttered to himself, speaking out some of his calculations: "They probably want to use the sacrifice opportunity to raise their own cultivation."

"No matter what they are thinking, in short, they sacrifice and we benefit……this is the best outcome."

Wu Tie sat cross-legged in midair, silently activating the Primordial Crown just as before, continually cutting the surrounding void, forcibly drawing heavenly and earthly primordial energy to pour into the Canghai Divine Pearl, increasing the cultivation speed of this batch of Wu tribe youths.

Vast Sea Divine Pearl

Old Iron truly lives up to being the accumulated……Old Iron……Wu Tie still hasn't figured out just how strong Old Iron was at his peak.

In short, Old Iron first condensed a Dao Seal, which was a body-wide flashing cold light, exuding a suffocating slaughterous stern intent; a single glance made one feel excruciating pain all over, as if being chopped in the face by a blade—a terrifying Dao Seal.

Pei Phoenix

The first Dao Seal Old Iron condensed was not the Yin-Yang Five Elements inheritance he obtained in the Daze State rainforest from the Primordial Great Peng Ming King and Peacock Ming King, but rather the 'Slaughter' Dao he inherently possessed.

As the 'Slaughter' Dao Seal formed, Old Iron's aura became fiercely formidable; his low growl sounded like a gunshot piercing the void, blasting open a hundred-zhang diameter transparent hole in the thick clouds of the sky. Another scarlet Dao Seal with flowing light condensed, and the void seemed to echo with the mad howls of countless warriors.

Yin-Yang Five Elements Inheritance

Old Iron's entire body surged with mighty qi; his astonishing aura shook the whole White Bone Mountain, cracking it with countless large and small fissures.

Great Marsh Prefecture

Crimson Dao Seal

Among them were Yin Dao Seal, Yang Dao Seal, and Five Elements Dao Seal; besides these, another five Dao Seals were all related to slaughter, war, carnage, death, and immortality.

Because of these five Dao Seals, Old Iron's aura became incredibly fierce; his whole person seemed to turn into a steel spear stained with fresh blood and ringing iron bones, with constant 'clang-clang' sounds emanating from within, his killing intent rising throughout his body, making people dread to look at him.

What startled Wu Tie was that Old Iron's Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Seal, like his own, had just been entered upon.

But those five Dao Seals of his related to war and slaughter were, to the naked eye, rapidly solidifying bit by bit—one-tenth, two-tenths, three-tenths…

In just a quarter of an hour, Old Iron's five war-and-slaughter-related Dao Seals forcibly reached a fifty percent mastery level.

Carnage

Old Iron stepped back toward Wu Tie, his whole body wrapped in killing intent, head held high, wearing a look of triumphant pride.

"Heh heh, did I scare you? This is just the beginning; if it weren't for my true body being beaten to a pulp, and if this fleshly bone of mine weren't insufficiently tempered, I would have directly restored these five Dao Seals to the Revered level's great perfection—Little Iron, do you believe me?"

Wu Tie and the several Ghost Sovereigns behind him stared wide-eyed at Old Iron.

After a while, Wu Tie gave Old Iron a thumbs-up: "You're the big boss, your word is law……Old Iron, just how strong were you back then?"

Old Iron's eyes flashed with a dazed, vacant light; he stared blankly, shook his head: "My brain got smashed, I forgot……a true hero doesn't brag about past courage……Anyway, I was very strong back then, very strong, very strong……"

After a pause, Old Iron self-mockingly laughed: "But no matter how strong, it was useless……well, back then……I was still useless!"

He patted his chest and said in a deep voice: "Back then, although I was stronger than now, I lacked this fortune, couldn't accomplish the Chaos Transformation, and couldn't possess a body of flesh and blood."

"If back then I could have had a true flesh-and-blood body……perhaps……" Old Iron's tone was complex: "But back then, all the knowledge I mastered was purely for slaughter, purely for war……"

"Whereas the Chaos Transformation requires not slaughter and war, but the transformation of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the creation of life and death by heaven and earth."

Yin-Yang Five Elements Transformation

Heaven-Earth Life-Creation

Shouldering his spear, Old Iron straightened his waist, stood behind Wu Tie, and said in a deep voice: "Little brat, keep striving; let me see how far you can defy heaven……Ha, now I'm stronger than you, so I finally don't have to freeload off you."

Primeval Witch Demon

"When have I ever freeloaded? Nonsense!"

Old Iron burst into loud laughter, then took out a vat holding three hundred jin of strong liquor, slapped open the seal with a palm, and gulped down the liquor together with the sediment in big mouthfuls.

"This feeling of having flesh and blood, I love it!"

Downing the three hundred jin of liquor in one gulp, Old Iron smashed the vat onto the ground, then satisfiedly patted his belly.

After Old Iron, Wu Yu and the other Wu tribe elders saw their interiors burst forth with massive, fresh vigor, like an old tree sprouting buds. Layers of dead skin peeled off their bodies, and their appearances rapidly grew youthful.

Those withered, hunched, already aged beyond recognition Wu tribe elders saw their physiques rapidly plump and fill out; they straightened their hunched waists, and behind them faintly appeared the phantasms of one ancient Wu demon after another.

Zhurong, Gonggong, Kuafu, Xingtian, Houtu, Xuannbing, Fengbo, Yushi……one after another, the natural great Dao of heaven and earth continually emerged.

Dao Seals kept condensing one after another; the Wu tribe elders each condensed at least two Dao Seals, while the most among them managed to condense five, after which their essence, qi, and spirit were rapidly depleted, leaving them unable to condense any further Dao Seals.

Great Dao Seal

These Wu tribe elders' foundations were also truly terrifying; several Ghost Sovereigns back then, upon reaching the Revered level, could only condense a single Dao Seal, and only later, through gradual cultivation and continual replenishment of their consumed origin, were they able to condense additional Dao Seals.

The Wu tribe Elders could each condense at least two Dao Seals……they are truly a group of ancient monsters.

What made these ghost venerables' scalps go numb was that, after these Wu tribe Elders themselves condensed the Dao seals, suddenly shouting voices came from within their bodies — as many as three, as few as one — each of them had three corpse avatars leap out from inside, and these three corpse avatars likewise condensed Dao seals.

One after another, great Dao seals hovered in mid‑air, emitting a terrifying venerable‑level pressure that rolled outward in all directions.

"Hahaha!" Having regained their youthful years, with an average height of nearly two zhang and stalwart builds like metal statues, Wu Yu and the others threw back their heads and laughed long and loud, the rolling sound waves shocking ten thousand li.

"Ancestors, hurry up and leave, the next wave is waiting!" Wu Tie shouted urgently, cutting off this group of ancestors' emotional venting.

Wu Yu and the others quickly stopped laughing, their bodies swaying slightly, and in an instant‑like flash they flew to the four corners of White Bone Mountain, warily looking around.

At this moment, how crucial is what's happening on White Bone Mountain? The Wu clan's old fogeys need no one to tell them; they know it in their hearts.

Once all these sacrificial demon heads are completely transformed into the Wu clan's foundation, then the Wu clan's future……

Thinking of this radiant prospect, Wu Yu and the others, who had self-imprisoned in a coffin for who knows how many years and were merely clinging to life, couldn't help but have their hairs stand on end, each getting so excited they almost fainted.

So, even if a mosquito dared to approach White Bone Mountain right now, they would use the most vicious witchcraft to curse that mosquito's nine clans to extinction.

Pei Feng, Xue Yu, Wu Jin, Wu Yin, and Wu Tong condensed their Dao seals at a slightly slower pace.

After all, their grasp of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao is still shallow; they are young and cannot compare to Wu Yu and his old fellows. But after Wu Yu and they condensed their first Dao seal, Pei Feng, Xue Yu, and the five of them also began to break through.

Dao seals appeared one after another above their heads, and the majestic venerable-level aura swept in all directions.

Wu Tie released the second batch of Wu clan youths from the Canghai Divine Pearl, had them stand on the altar, and they likewise began to break through.

The third batch of Wu clan youths was taken into the Canghai Divine Pearl. Wu Tie drew a deep breath, swallowed a large packet of Dao treasure pills that replenish mind and spirit consumption, barely recovered a bit of spirit, and then continued to fully activate the Taiyi Crown.

Thus, half a month later.

Western Monster Kingdom, deep in the boundless Mang Mountains.

From south to north, on an extraordinarily solid defensive line, countless great and minor monsters were stationed.

Mountains thousands of zhang high were forcibly cast together with molten metal into a single entity, turning into a solid fortress stretching from south to north for tens of millions of li and thousands of li wide.

The entire Western Monster Kingdom's countless monster emperors, kings, giants, and great monsters all worked together, literally working to death over half of the human craftsmen they had captured, and even killing tens of billions of ordinary monsters, only then in just a few months did they complete this enormous, unimaginable fortress.

On the fortress, crude but incomparably huge runes like dragons roaming the void emitted a primitive, savage, majestic demonic aura.

Under the shock of this tremendous fluctuation, unless one's cultivation is above the seventh heaven of the Divine Realm and must be at least Heavenly God level—that is, having entered the Dao through ten or more great Dao principles, with cultivation above the seventh heaven of the Divine Realm—can one fly near this fortress.

Besides that, earth gods, human gods, inferior gods, and the like can only walk obediently.

As for cultivators below the Divine Realm, not to mention approaching this fortress, even just glancing at it from afar could result in being harmed by the vicious restrictions on the walls, suffering the five labors and seven injuries and losing vital essence and blood.

Including Moyun Yingwang, hundreds of monster emperors stood on the fortress, their faces shifting unpredictably as they gazed toward the east.

"Really... fight?" A fat, sturdy white-furred tiger shook its huge head, muttering low: "Taking our grassroots bark and exchanging it for their silks and satins, this good life... is it really worth fighting to the death?"

"Isn't that so... fighting to the death, why fight to the death? If we lived in harmony with the human race, I'd now be in my cave, drinking daughter-red wine, embracing my wife at home and enjoying myself." A burly wild boar spirit gritted his teeth and complained: "Now I'm exhausted half to death, not a drop of alcohol, and still have to fight to the death!"

He stomped his foot hard, and the fortress stretching ten thousand li shook violently. The wild boar spirit complained: "My several wives at home have just given birth to eight litters of piglets... If I die, won't these piglets end up being made into roasted suckling pig by people?"

"If you don't want to fight, go tell those four old ancestors!" Moyun Yingwang said with a sinister smile: "If you've got the guts, go say it!"

Not a single one of the hundreds of monster emperors made a sound; they just looked at each other, and nobody dared to utter a sound.

A booming 'Thud—' sound came.

In the eastern sky, vast sheets of thick clouds were shattered to pieces; then a huge dark-gold dragon head emerged from the shattered clouds. Wuguo's enormous warship, tens of thousands of zhang long, spewed fierce flames and brilliant light, escorted by over a hundred thousand large warships, slowly flew toward this hastily built fortress line of the Western Monster Kingdom.

Wu Tie stood on the dragon head of the warship, smiling faintly as he looked at the many monster emperors on the fortress.

"Don't say I'm bullying you; come, you pick out three hundred twenty-eight of your strongest, and I'll also send out three hundred twenty-eight, and we'll have one-on-one matches…"

"If you can win half of the matches, I'll turn and leave; not only that, I'll pay tribute year after year and make monthly offerings!"

"But if you can't even win half of the matches, heh, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Moyun Yingwang's eyes flashed with sharp light; he said in a deep voice: "Is what the Martial King said true?"

Wu Tie spread his hands: "Truer than real gold!"

Moyun Yingwang said sternly: "Good, then please have the Martial King send out those who will fight under his command, so we brothers can also see them."

Wu Tie gave a slight smile and waved his hand.

Lao Tie, Pei Feng, Wu Yu, and others came out in single file; three hundred twenty-eight newly promoted venerable-level powerhouses stood in midair, simultaneously releasing a surging venerable-level aura.

In the fortress, the monster horde fell completely silent for the span of three breaths.

Then Moyun Yingwang threw down his weapon, with a 'Thud—' he knelt on the fortress wall: "Enough talk, we surrender!"

The hundreds of monster emperors made no sound and simultaneously knelt on the city walls.

"Those four old monsters, if they want to die, let them die..." The fat, sturdy white-furred tiger emperor loudly cursed: "I just want to live a good life!"
