Chapter 172: Great Calamity, in a Weak Position, Crisis Looming

From the very beginning of entering the Seal Land.

Lu Zhangsheng knew the situation wasn't that simple.

Something would happen sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

But in the end nothing happened, which only made him more vigilant.

Because the calmer it was, the harder any later accident would be to handle.

Even later, Lu Zhangsheng had already linked all of this to the beings of the Evil Land.

And now, when those demonized beings appeared, he finally knew that what was supposed to start had indeed started.

So for now, he actually felt more relaxed, because whatever might happen later was now out in the open, making it easier to deal with.

"There are too many of these demonized beings; why didn't we encounter any before, and what's going on now?"

Tuoba Yun saw this scene, his eyes filled with shock; at first, no matter how they searched, it was useless.

Only a few scattered demonized beings had appeared before, but now there were so many.

This left him somewhat puzzled, and more importantly,

They seemed to.

or they had come from outside and entered the Emperor's relics.

But why hadn't there been any trace before? Ji Qiongxiao and her sister also widened their eyes, clearly finding it hard to believe.

The demonized beings they had been searching for half a day,

suddenly appeared just like that.

And while they were thinking about this,

the battle had already begun, because the demonized beings swarmed in thick and dense, covering the sky and earth.

In an instant, it seemed to fill the entire Sky Dome, so that the young Human Race powerhouses around them had no choice but to act.

Various lights intertwined, Divine Power surging; with over a thousand people on site, their combined attack was naturally spectacular.

Moreover, some powerful Heavenly Pride individuals, each time they struck, would slay several demonized beings.

"Although there are many, they don't look very strong."

Seeing this, Ji Qiongxiao's eyes lit up: "If we join forces and attack together, it should be fine."

Because, as she saw it, everyone who had entered the relics were Heavenly Pride from the major powers of the present age, each very strong.

As long as they could join forces, even the demonized beings would be nothing; they could easily withstand them.

But at this moment, whether Meng Que Xie or the Saint Children and Saint Maidens of the Taiyi Sacred Land,

their faces grew solemn, as if they did not agree with that statement.

It was then that Ji Qiongxiao realized the demonized beings were not only numerous, but those that came afterward were also quite strong.

Especially those whose bodies reached a thousand zhang in height, whose strength rivaled the Reincarnation Realm, directly battling a young powerhouse.

When both sides struck, the shockwaves they produced shook this heaven and earth, showing just how powerful they were.

Furthermore, the number of such powerful demonized beings kept increasing, gathering together.

"It seems we can't just rely on our combined strength to resolve this catastrophe."

"Rather, it's about how much loss their gathering will inflict on the Human Race side."

Meng Que Xie spoke, saying he wasn't unfamiliar with the North Sea Hunt.

He knew that even if they encountered groups of demonized beings, the numbers wouldn't be too high.

Because such creatures, no matter how strong, never develop spiritual intelligence; their instinct is merely to slaughter and devour, so their numbers are kept at a reasonable level.

Thus, young Human Race powerhouses can come here for training, as long as their ability is adequate.

Moreover, if they don't challenge those truly powerful demonized beings, there is no danger.

But the situation before them now is completely different.

If one had to say,

it is that the present young Human Race powerhouses have already been surrounded.

Pfft—just as he was thinking about this, one person had already fallen, surrounded by dozens of demonized beings.

Unable to retreat and lacking strength, he was completely killed at this moment.

As previously said, there are too many, and they are also very strong in strength.

Now, even if everyone joins forces, to safely get through the crisis they will inevitably have to pay a price.

Ji Qiongxiao and her sister also saw this, their faces turning pale, although they had experienced much since childhood.

But looking at it now, they are indeed in a real crisis.

"Don't panic; have our people gather as close as possible, don't scatter, or else it's easy to be encircled by those demonized beings."

At this moment Meng Que Xie spoke, urging his own people to gather together, even though there were over a thousand young powerhouses present.

But compared to the number of demonized beings, it was still too few, utterly insufficient.

Moreover, some of them are inherently quite strong.

This point above,

they can say very clearly.

Only by sticking together can they avoid being attacked from front and back.

Immediately after, he thought of something else and turned his head: "Divine Son, what do you say?"

Now Meng Que Xie already regarded Lu Zhangsheng as the leader, so of course he needed to ask.

"What you said is correct; charging out is very difficult unless we slay most of the demonized beings." Lu Zhangsheng looked into the distance and found that the place where they had entered the relics had been completely blocked.

There the numbers were even greater, and although they were still inside the Seal Land, some people could not exert their full strength.

Trying to charge straight out under these circumstances would be absolutely extremely difficult.

All they could do was ensure their own safety at the same time.

Wait for the opportunity.

Good.

The Saint Children and Saint Maidens of the Taiyi Sacred Land around them heard it.

They nodded one by one, unlike others who directly chose to engage.

They merely observed the distant situation, as the entire world was now packed tight with demonized living beings.

Unable to advance or retreat.

Sounds of slaughter everywhere.

Various powerful forces surged, intertwining with one another.

Lu Zhangsheng's side joined forces to kill the approaching demonized beings, then retreated again.

Meanwhile, to train Tuoba Yun and the others, most opportunities were given to them; only after a stronger foe appeared did Meng Que Xie and the others take action.

Lu Zhangsheng himself was subtly being protected.

He didn't act, but he kept observing.

What he was thinking in his heart.

He was also thinking about how to get everyone out.

As for others, they had nothing to do with it.

Boom— a muffled sound exploded.

The Sky Dome flickered light and dark, as demonized beings fell, and humans too.

And as time passed, the numbers on both sides continued to drop.

As for the former, it didn't matter, since they numbered in the millions; even losing ten or twenty thousand had no effect.

But for the Human Race side, once they exceeded a hundred, their combined strength would greatly weaken, ultimately requiring even Meng Que Xie and the others to keep acting.

The situation appeared to grow increasingly dire, and everyone present could clearly sense it.
