In the northern part of the Human Realm, a horde of ferocious beasts attacked.

Wu Wang, Ling Xiaolan, Ji Mo, and Lin Qi stood in a line at the edge of the Wuchen Dome, looking at the gloomy sky in the north through the formation barrier.

Although the sun was setting, the thick clouds blocked the sunlight from shining through.

As far as Wu Wang could see, flocks of birds were flying towards the south, and panicked livestock trampled the fields. Both cultivators and ordinary people were restless, and a sense of gloom covered the entire military camp.

Even from such a distant place, Wu Wang could faintly sense the surging aura of the calamitous beasts, like a tsunami.

Just standing here for a while, they had already seen dozens of scattered lights rushing towards the north, as well as large ships carrying sect flags crossing the sky.

Therefore, they had already discovered the signs of the calamitous beast tide, and the higher-ups of the Human Realm had made arrangements to deal with it. There was no panic, and orderly military orders were transmitted to various parts of the dome.

In places where Wu Wang couldn't see, the conscription order from the Renhuang Pavilion had also reached various sects.

At this moment, shouts came from behind the four of them:

"Report - Urgent report from the northern border!

There are forty-six waves of calamitous beasts in the entire northern region, and the number of calamities is incalculable. The border is in a bitter battle!

Send the military order to the second-line dome to reinforce the front line, and the third-line dome should mobilize half of its troops and immediately support the north!"

"Prepare the troops! Prepare the troops!"

A general shouted loudly, and the sound of drums filled the air. Thousands of cultivators on the dome quickly formed a formation, and shuttle-shaped flying treasures slowly expanded and lined up at the edge.

They belonged to the third defense line and needed to mobilize half of their troops.

Wu Wang and the others could only stand far away and watch, each with a different expression.

Ji Mo whispered, "Let's not worry. The calamitous beast tide occurs every sixty or a hundred years and usually lasts for several years to a dozen years. The Human Realm is well-prepared to deal with it."

"I'm not worried," Wu Wang calmly said, "We are not even immortals, and the border battle doesn't lack foot soldiers."

Lin Qi frowned slightly, "I'm afraid my Yan Emperor token will cause trouble."

Ling Xiaolan softly said, "The Ten Calamities Palace wouldn't launch a calamitous beast tide just to eliminate a Yan Emperor token holder."

Wu Wang asked, "But what if the calamitous beast tide was already prepared, and it's just happening half a year or a few months earlier, coinciding with a simultaneous attack from inside and outside the Ten Calamities Palace?"

"That doesn't make sense," Ling Xiaolan said, "Lin Qi is not the only Yan Emperor token holder. As far as I know, the person with the highest cultivation level in the Yan Emperor token cultivation method has possessed the token for over three hundred years. It's not a secret in the major sects.

This time, the Emperor intentionally targeted the Ten Calamities Palace with the Yan Emperor token."

Lin Qi covered his chest with his hand.

There, it hurt.

Wu Wang couldn't help but complain in his heart. This old senior was indeed a master of empty promises, but...

He looked at Ling Xiaolan and said seriously, "Fairy, some information should not be casually revealed, even to me and Ji Mo."

"Okay, I understand," Ling Xiaolan responded casually, avoiding Wu Wang's gaze.

After some consideration, Wu Wang explained a few more things to them:

"Many times, when measuring the gains and losses between two forces, we cannot simply look at immediate benefits.

Lin Qi's current position is very special. He is the only Yan Emperor token holder who voluntarily revealed himself in the Renhuang Pavilion, just to mock Ji Mo."

Ji Mo and Lin Qi both turned their heads awkwardly, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.

Wu Wang said, "Lin Qi is now well-known in the Human Realm. If the Ten Calamities Palace captures him and takes him to the northern border in front of the Heavenly Emperor and the powerful members of the human race, humiliating him in various ways, it is easy for the human race front line to lose control due to anger.

This greatly affects the morale of our side.

For the Ten Calamities Palace, they can raise a calamitous beast tide with time, which is nothing. But if they can consume more of the human race's vitality, they can gain more credit in front of the Heavenly Emperor.

In the current situation, the Ten Calamities Palace will definitely attack and ensure the capture of Lin Qi."

Ji Mo frowned and pondered, "This..."

Ling Xiaolan couldn't help but blink her eyes and whispered, "I suddenly realized that it is indeed quite terrifying to oppose Brother Wu."

Ji Mo and Lin Qi agreed deeply, with the latter having more say in this matter.

"Wu Wang," Ji Mo forced a wry smile, "I finally understand why the Demon Sect insisted on making you the sect master."

"Preconceived notions are not good," Wu Wang calmly changed the topic, "Let's not be too pessimistic. At least, there are still many powerful experts from the Renhuang Pavilion hiding here.

As long as we stay here and don't cause trouble for everyone, it will be fine."

At this moment!

Almost as soon as Ji Mo finished speaking, men, women, old, and young appeared within a radius of three hundred miles around the dome. They flew straight into the air and then turned towards the north, disappearing like streaks of light.

Ji Mo:...

Ling Xiaolan said, "At critical moments, we still have to rely on ourselves.""I'm going to ask the teacher for a storage magic treasure!"

Ji Mo turned his head and rushed towards the military formation, his back figure in a hurry.

Lin Qi also sighed and stared at the flowing lights heading north, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Teacher," he looked at Wu Wang and whispered, "If we set aside the fact that I am the son of the Lin family and the Yan Emperor's order, I am just a cultivator in the Ascending to Immortality realm in the Human Realm, right?"

"Don't underestimate yourself," Wu Wang said, "It won't be difficult for you to become a Heavenly Immortal in the future."

"Thank you for the encouragement, teacher."

Lin Qi sighed lightly, his eyes calmed down, and he whispered:

"I can be a despicable person, but I cannot be a shameless scoundrel.

If things cannot be done later, please don't interfere, teacher."

Wu Wang raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying calmly, "Rest assured, I value my life very much. We are not really master and disciple, and our relationship is not that deep. If it's time to leave, we will definitely leave."

Lin Qi made a mournful face, shaking his head and sighing, not knowing how to respond.

Ling Xiaolan suddenly said, "The high-level experts of the Renhuang Pavilion around us have not completely retreated."

"That's right," Wu Wang said, "Now it is a game between the high-level members of the Renhuang Pavilion and the Ten Calamities Palace.

There will be a big battle here later. The outcome depends on the strength of the Ten Calamities Palace and the Renhuang Pavilion remaining here, and who can gain the upper hand.

The Ten Calamities Palace is not to be feared on ordinary days, but with the onslaught of evil beasts, the power of the Human Realm must gather at the border. The Ten Calamities Palace has become a hostile force that cannot be ignored.

Everyone, do not underestimate the opponent, and do not make any decisions on your own.

This place can temporarily remain calm because the Ten Calamities Palace is waiting for those experts to leave. In less than half an hour, there will be a big battle here."

Ling Xiaolan and Lin Qi nodded at the same time.

Ling Xiaolan asked, "What should we do now?"

"Wait," Wu Wang said, "We can't act rashly at this time. There is a skill in being a bait, we must learn to tie the fishing line tightly.

If we act recklessly, we will only give the other side an opportunity and easily cause trouble for our own experts. It will also be difficult to protect our lives."

Just as Ling Xiaolan and Lin Qi nodded in agreement, Xu Mu flew over from a distance with Ji Mo.

Xu Mu's face was relatively calm. He first returned the storage magic treasure to Lin Qi. Immediately, several immortal swords floated around Lin Qi, and his aura became slightly heavier.

Then, Xu Mu said, "You must be thinking..."

Ling Xiaolan interrupted, "General, there's no need to explain."

Xu Mu continued, "Alright, if that's the case, I won't explain. But you must..."

"We will follow the general's arrangements!"

Lin Qi stood up and said loudly, "General Xu can give us orders. Those who disobey military orders will be executed. This is the iron rule of the military!"

Xu Mu:...

Fine, he had prepared a long speech, but it was completely useless.

"Alright then, follow me."

This True Immortal, who used to like dressing as a scholar, now had a bit of the heroic spirit of a military man. With a wave of his hand, white clouds lifted the four of them and headed towards the corner of the circular dome.

Xu Mu didn't forget to transmit his voice and remind them:

"The high-level experts of the Renhuang Pavilion must rush to the northern border for support. Nine of the Ten Calamities Gods have already appeared in the north, which hasn't happened in thousands of years.

The Human Emperor has gone to suppress the north, and half of the transcendent experts of the human race have gathered in the north. The experts who were originally ambushing here to counter the Ten Calamities Palace now number only around thirty.

The outcome of the battle is unpredictable, and the Ten Calamities Palace has many tricks up their sleeves. We must be prepared for any situation."

As he spoke, Xu Mu had already brought the four of them to a large tent, where four cultivators, three men and one woman, immediately greeted them.

"Exchange clothes with them, quickly!

Miss Ling, don't worry. We have prepared new clothes for you. The situation is urgent, so please bear with it for a while.

Later, I will take advantage of the momentum of the troops leaving and send you away from this place."

Wu Wang and Ling Xiaolan both hesitated to speak, but neither of them said much. The former showed a pensive expression, while the latter furrowed her brows lightly and sighed.

...

In a desolate and remote area far from where Wu Wang's camp was located.

Figures carrying black and blood winds flew into the air and hurried towards the north.

At the headquarters of the annihilated sect, old demons in the Immortal and True Immortal realms rushed into the air, each shouting the names of the disciples they were taking to the north. In a short period of time, they gathered three hundred demonic cultivators.

The support process of the sect had a complete set of regulations. Depending on the orders received from the Human Emperor, different numbers of experts were dispatched. They couldn't let their hot blood get to their heads and send all the experts.

This way, they could guard against multiple fronts opening up in war and not worry about breaking the path of inheritance.

Similarly, the various patrol immortal envoys of the Renhuang Pavilion couldn't easily go to the front lines unless the battle line was about to collapse. Otherwise, they could only stay in their original positions and patrol.

Stability in the rear was the guarantee of victory in the front;

For the Human Realm, resisting the onslaught of evil beasts was a long-lasting war that had existed since ancient times.

"What's going on?"

Lin Suqing stood on the balcony of the sect master's building, looking at the figures gathered outside the formation, and couldn't help but grip the short sword in her hand tightly.For some reason, Lin Suqing felt a vague unease, but she didn't know where it came from.

North Wilderness, the starry sea in the deep blue sky.

In the Star God Palace, Cang Xue, who stood like a sculpture, opened her eyes. The blue light in her eyes slowly faded, and she calmly looked towards the southern sky.

There, the stars were changing, and a sinister aura filled the air.

To read the uncut version, go to pawread dot com.

She pondered for a moment, but didn't do much. She closed her eyes again and stood quietly.

Under her feet, strands of starlight continuously gathered and dispersed. The intricate patterns on the wooden staff in her hand became clearer.

...

In the northwest of the Human Realm, in the circular military camp labeled Wuchen.

Wu Wang and his companions, dressed in light armor, followed Xu Mu and blended into the army of cultivators about to set off.

Wu Wang and his companions remained calm, unaffected by the atmosphere. Xu Mu looked at them with admiration.

Xu Mu's plan was simple: let Wu Wang and his companions infiltrate the more than two thousand cultivators heading north, and go directly to the north to meet the experts from the Renhuang Pavilion, abandoning the plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

The North Wilderness seemed dangerous, but in reality, it had gathered most of the Transcendent experts in the Human Realm.

If the holder of the Yan Emperor's token couldn't be protected there, the Human Realm would have long ceased to exist.

Xu Mu stood with them in a prominent position, disguised as Xu Mu's personal guards. Except for Ling Xiaolan, who kept her head down, Wu Wang, Ji Mo, and Lin Qi all looked up at the most powerful cultivator in the formation.

Commander Zhong Lin.

As soon as Zhong Lin saw Xu Mu return, he immediately put on his armor and floated in mid-air. His thunderous voice reverberated within the formation!

"The situation is urgent, so I'll keep it brief.

Every cultivator of the human race will inevitably experience several waves of savage beast tides in their cultivation journey.

The Evil God's desire to destroy the Human Realm is unyielding. The Human Realm is a place where gods are slain, and it is considered taboo by the gods.

Today!

The North Border is once again under attack by savage beasts. Nine of the ten Evil Gods have appeared, and this offensive is the largest in thousands of years!

If a breach occurs in the northern border, a large number of savage beasts will rush into the Human Realm, destroying everything they see, killing our human race, and destroying our place of survival!

You have come from all corners of the world, some even from the villages in the North Wilderness, step by step to this day.

Today is the day for you to demonstrate what you have learned, to show your cultivation to the various races of the Great Wasteland!

Protecting the Human Race is the way!

With this way standing at the border, we won't let the savage beasts step into the Human Realm!

Our ancestors cleared the path step by step, amidst the claws and fangs of savage beasts, and created this Human Realm.

We, the later generations, should protect this border with our flesh and blood, with our own cultivation!

Where is the way?!"

Thousands of cultivators released their aura simultaneously, almost breaking through the formation and rushing towards the sky!

"Good!"

Zhong Lin's face was filled with excitement. He turned around, raised his hand, and shouted, "Activate the treasures, rush to the North Border..."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Zhong Lin's words came to a halt as he looked towards the southwest. The clouds there parted, as if a star was falling.

But as a Heavenly Immortal cultivator, Zhong Lin quickly discerned that in the direction of the falling star, a mountain had appeared out of thin air!

This mountain was thousands of miles tall, surrounded by boundless flames, and it was crashing straight towards the circular formation!

The technique of moving mountains!

The Transcendent experts from the Ten Calamities Palace made their move!

Zhong Lin roared, "Who dares to be so audacious!"

In an instant, a large shadow appeared on the circular formation, and this shadow rapidly expanded, quickly engulfing the entire formation.

The cultivators all looked towards the direction of the falling star, most of them pale with white lips.

They only saw the magnificent mountain, accompanied by a layer of flames, rolling and trembling as it descended from the sky towards them!

A general suddenly shouted, "Quickly retreat in all directions!"

Thousands of cultivators immediately panicked and fled towards the nearest edge of the formation.

Zhong Lin leaped into the air, shouting, "Heavenly Immortal experts, join forces to reinforce the formation! With the formation, we can withstand this mountain!"

Dozens of figures followed Zhong Lin and charged towards the inner side of the formation. They raised their hands, and their immortal energy poured into the formation, causing the circular formation to emit a brilliant light!

The giant mountain was about to crash down!

Outside the circular formation, dozens of streaks of light flew into the sky. The experts from the Renhuang Pavilion, exuding powerful auras, launched a barrage of attacks towards the mountain.

Almost at the same moment, dozens of figures flew out from the flying mountain. As they charged forward, they simultaneously tilted their heads back and poured drops of blood of various colors into their mouths. Their robes were torn apart!

In an instant, the atmosphere changed, and dozens of savage beast auras appeared in the sky.

Wu Wang stared at this scene, as if he saw a sea of blood, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

He clearly saw that dozens of cultivators, ranging from Transcendent, True Immortal, to Heavenly Immortal realm, were charging from the mountain.This was not the full force of the invading enemy, but compared to the dozens of experts from the Ren Emperor Pavilion who were fighting back, they were not on the same level.

However, as these monks from the Ten Calamities Palace swallowed the essence blood of the Evil God, their auras suddenly soared. Their bodies transformed into half-human, half-beast forms, their auras becoming cold and brutal, and they actually suppressed the experts of the Ren Emperor Pavilion.

In that instant.

Just in that moment.

Wu Wang seemed to see scenes of great battles, seeing humanoid beasts rampaging and slaughtering on the vast grasslands of the North Wilderness, his own people unable to withstand a single blow...

The Human Realm must not fall, the Human Realm absolutely must not fall!

The peace of the North Wilderness was partly due to the fact that the Human Realm had drawn the attention of most of the gods!

The Star God was in a state of decline, if the Star God truly collapsed one day, the gods would not let go of the fat meat that was the North Wilderness!

And these were the reasons why Wu Wang had not told anyone before, why he had to come to the Human Realm.

As for the current battle.

Roaring sounds came from the sky, two groups of experts were fighting a great battle in front of the giant mountain!

A giant sword rose into the sky, blood claws tore through the heavens and the earth!

Several of our own powerful body cultivators disregarded the surrounding attacks, and with a roar, they charged towards the falling mountain. Those ugly-faced, scale-armored evil men from the Ten Calamities Palace immediately stepped forward to intercept.

Inside the large formation, the faces of the dozens of immortals who were filling the formation turned pale. The figures hidden on the mountain were already prepared to charge into the camp and fight.

Wu Wang clenched his fists, igniting starlight in his eyes...

"Wu Wang, don't try to show off!"

Xu Mu's voice transmission came from the side, Ji Mo had already grabbed Wu Wang's left arm and was rushing towards the edge of the large formation.
