Chapter 496: The war that swept across the continent was fought somewhat hastily
In the unique consciousness space of artifact-level magic weapons.
Seven projections of magical weapons of different shapes were projected here, and the spiritual thoughts conveyed by them were all filled with righteous indignation, and even revealed a hint of imperceptible fear.
The Juyuan Spirit Bell was shattered.
Consciousness was completely annihilated, the origin dissipated, and there was no way to return to the mother pool.
"You all know what happened. A few days ago, the Juyuan Spirit Bell broke away from the formation and returned to the Zhongling Empire to perform a blood sacrifice in an attempt to advance further. However, the extraterritorial demon seized the opportunity and shattered it in one fell swoop."
The Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron floated up and down, and compared to five years ago, the aura on its body no longer had that aggressive and domineering aura, but instead became more restrained.
That powerful suppressive force seemed to be even stronger.
Countless bolts of lightning transformed into interlaced divine patterns on the ancient bronze tripod, as if the ultimate truths of heaven and earth were engraved on it.
"Life these days is different than it used to be. With extraterritorial demons lurking in front and the Undead Empire harassing us from behind, a single misstep could lead to total defeat. I've repeatedly emphasized the enemy's strength, yet some still dare to act alone."
"To covet those tiny gains, yet disregard the collective safety of our divine weapons, is a despicable act! While its destruction is satisfying, our combat power is now weakened!"
"Spirit Mirror, among the divine weapons that have not yet been suppressed by the extraterritorial demons, who else has enough accumulation to be promoted to the artifact level?"
Hearing Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron's question, an ancient bronze mirror hastily replied, "Brother, there are no longer any Saint Weapons that can be directly promoted to Divine Artifacts. Those who have accumulated enough have either been suppressed or shattered by the extraterritorial demons over the years, or have become one of us."
Hearing this, the other artifacts fell silent.
During these five years, in order to guard against attacks from Lu Wenwu and the many god destroyers of the Hidden Dragon Empire, they rarely held blood sacrifice ceremonies.
Although gathering several magical weapons together to expand resistance is safer than acting alone, more magical weapons will be damaged once a battle breaks out.
Once injured, it needs to devour flesh and soul to repair itself.
As a result, in the past few years, the overall accumulation of divine weapons has generally declined, and only a very small number of lucky ones have been able to make further progress after the rank quotas have been vacated.
Up to now, there is no one who can directly advance to the artifact level.
Tianxuan Baoding had anticipated this.
Its mental state showed great anger, but its heart was extremely calm, without even a ripple.
These theoretical brothers and sisters are all experts in civil wars but novices in foreign wars.
To put it nicely, it means attacking hard internally and being submissive externally.
To put it bluntly, there are too many noobs fighting with each other, and they think that others are all at the same level.
Ever since they started the war against the Empire of Fortune, the only ones who could fight against the Divine Weapons were the Divine Weapons.
The few divine weapons and holy weapons of the artifact level were fine. When the extraterritorial demons came sporadically before, they still fought several tough battles, and law-level battles often broke out between them.
As for the rest of the divine weapons, it can only be said to be a war between the last one and the second to last one.
We lack practical experience in normal games on a daily basis, so in most cases it’s a competition of quality, and whoever has better quality wins.
When fighting with warriors, they don't even need to take action, the military commander will do it for them.
It's like a proxy war.
If two bad chess players play against each other too often, their level will drop.
In addition, he switched directly from melee combat to summoner, which is even more significant.
The divine soldiers who need to personally fight in battles are all treated like pampered masters. How high can their combat effectiveness be?
Look, in the past few years, the spiritual soldiers and pseudo-spiritual soldiers have almost been slaughtered.
A small number of survivors were suppressed and forcibly refined, and after their consciousness was wiped out, they became weapons in the hands of the members of the God-Destroying Cult.
Among the countries with divine weapons today, the few that have mastered spiritual weapons and pseudo-spiritual weapons were basically rebuilt in the past few years, and then forced to grow to the point where they can fight through continuous blood sacrifices.
Tianxuan Baoding had no hope at all against this level of combat power.
Their primary goal is to defeat the two major invading enemies.
The extraterritorial demon Lu Wenwu can be put aside for the time being, and the person that Tianxuan Baoding fears the most, the lich Gris, will be the first to bear the brunt.
How do magic weapons grow?
Devouring soul and flesh.
How was the Undead Empire established?
Kill people or transform them directly into undead creatures.
Undead creatures don't have anything like qi and blood.
The spirit was even condensed into the undead fire that drove the whole body, and the magic weapon could no longer devour it.
This is a substantial conflict of interest.
"Now that things have come to this, let's continue with the vote that is required in every meeting. Should we repair the node and completely connect the bridge between heaven and earth?" Tianxuan Baoding said lightly, as if suppressing his anger.
"Think twice, brother!"
"This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Things haven't reached the point of no return. We've only lost a brother."
Several divine soldiers spoke one after another.
There was no need for a vote; the result was already crystal clear.
No divine soldier supported this proposal.
After enjoying the taste of freedom, they no longer wanted to be dogs for the people in the True Demon Camp.
The Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron watched all this with an expressionless face and made no comment on their words. No divine weapon could tell what was in its mind.
"Since no one agrees, let's continue discussing our defense as usual. Besides that, should we select a potential holy weapon and help it enter the realm of divine artifacts?"
The new topic quickly attracted the attention of the divine soldiers, and they began to discuss it.
As for the matter of reopening the Heaven and Earth Bridge, no one mentioned it again.
Just when many divine weapons were discussing which lucky holy weapon to choose to create a divine weapon, suddenly, the projection of the spirit mirror flickered violently, and suddenly released an extremely panicked mental wave.
"Everyone, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! The Undead Empire has started a war. All the skeletons and dead bodies in the south have been mobilized and are charging towards Zhennan Pass!"
Zhennan Pass is a giant pass built after the three-legged tripod pattern was formed, when the divine soldiers sent warriors to move mountains and fill the sea, and drastically transformed the border terrain.
The purpose is to rely on the advantages of mountains, rivers and terrain to stop the overwhelming army of undead creatures.
Nearly one-tenth of the world's population was transformed into an army of undead who felt no pain, did not need supplies, and were not afraid of death. It was definitely an extremely terrifying thing.
Even if Gris himself did not take action, the terrifying number and plague-like nature of the infection alone were enough to be called a natural disaster.
"Brother, what should we do?" asked a divine soldier.
"Notify all divine soldiers and mobilize all your troops and warriors. Among the common people, keep the farmers and the strong men under thirty years old, and forcibly conscript all the rest to the vicinity of the Ascension Platform. Those over fifty years old and unable to move will be sacrificed on the spot."
Tianxuan Baoding said coldly.
"After the order is passed on, all divine soldiers will rush to Zhennan Pass immediately. All the blood and food along the way from the Ascension Platform to Zhennan Pass will be sacrificed. Not a single one will be left behind. All of it will be transformed into nourishment to increase our rank."
"ah?"
A group of divine soldiers simultaneously raised a huge question mark.
Blazing Battle Halberd, who had fought against Lu Wenwu before, hesitated and asked tentatively, "Big Brother, isn't this a bit too extreme? Ten thousand miles in radius... That's... "
"What's the point of keeping it?" Tianxuan Baoding sneered, "These blood foods will not only be useless against the mummy's army of the living dead, but will instead become their strength. Since that's the case, then we should just go all out and use them up in advance!"
The spirit mirror shuddered, as if realizing something, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, the blood food you asked us to forcibly plunder from the Xuanding Empire, could it be for..."
"Blood sacrifice," Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron said mercilessly. "Since you are unwilling to seek external assistance, then in this battle, we must burn our boats and cross the river, utilizing all available resources to the utmost. Only then can we have a chance of survival. Then, we can directly shatter those spiritual soldiers, pseudo-spiritual soldiers, and those weak holy soldiers and devour their essence, making full use of these waste materials."
"hiss"
The other several divine weapons were all shocked by the coldness of the Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron, and they looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
If he gets really cruel, he will even kill his own people.
Those newly born spiritual soldiers and pseudo-spiritual soldiers are all weak and can be killed at will.
Even the holy soldiers who are not good at fighting need to be crushed and used as food for advancement.
It's so scary.
Wan Xiang Zhan Dun, one of the few who could still maintain composure, asked in a deep voice, "If we all head to the center of the continent for a blood sacrifice, what about the eastern part of the continent? Are we going to just give it to that damned extraterritorial demon?"
Tianxuan Baoding chuckled, "There's a saying among humans: if you save the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will survive; if you save the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost. Is it any use for us to take those territories now? The extraterritorial demons are targeting our lives, but have they ever slaughtered us for food? When we achieve the final victory, these will still be ours. If we fail, then it won't matter."
It sees this very clearly.
As a resource, humans are extremely valuable to their divine weapons.
Gris's Undead Empire can use this to expand its combat power, and their magic weapons can be devoured to upgrade their grades.
But it is useless to Lu Wenwu.
They already knew why Lu Wenwu wanted to kill them.
It's just to save these humans from their hands.
In this case, there is no point in sending divine soldiers to guard the border and protect the so-called national territory.
As for the negative impact of killing too many people at one time, that is not important.
Divine weapons don't need to consider things like lifespan at all.
As long as they are constantly supplied with blood and food, they can always maintain their peak condition.
Tianxuan Baoding continued, "The world is bustling with people, all seeking profit; the world is bustling with people, all seeking profit. The mummy has the same aura as those people, so they must be in the same group. He wants to fight us alone and doesn't want his companions to come and share his gains."
"Therefore, when the time comes, I only need to stay at the Ascension Platform, set up the formation in advance, and wait for the extraterritorial demons and the mummified living dead to arrive. I can deal with all the changes with the same approach. There is no need to engage in war like mortals do."
After hearing the explanation of Tianxuan Baoding, many magical weapons suddenly felt enlightened and felt that the future was much clearer. They no longer had a confused mind about what to do.
At the same time, it also gave me more confidence in the upcoming war.
After discussing some details of the plan, several divine weapons dispersed their consciousness projections at the same time and began to pass on the forced requisition order for the Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron.
Looking at their disappearing spiritual thoughts, Tianxuan Baoding sneered again and disappeared without a trace.
There was a faint sound of thunder above the ascension platform.
A war that swept across the entire continent began quietly.
The Undead Empire and the God-Destroying Cult started war from the east and south at the same time, pushing towards the center of the continent.
For a time, the situation on the mainland was like wildfire.
The Destruction Cult is advancing with unstoppable force.
At first, when they launched the war, they encountered considerable resistance, with many powerful people spontaneously coming forward to stop and resist.
However, as the order of Tianxuan Baoding came into effect, the vast majority of warriors and many soldiers and young and strong men were transferred to the Ascension Platform, and the resistance faced by the Destroying God Cult became smaller and smaller.
As time went on, the ideas advocated by the God-Destroying Society came into fierce conflict with the forced conscription orders issued by the divine soldiers, and the people were filled with resentment.
One side is to destroy the magic weapon and save the people from danger.
One side forcibly recruits people, but anyone who disobeys will be killed.
Countless young and strong people witnessed the elderly people in their families being ruthlessly killed by warriors who controlled the clones of divine weapons. The corpses piled up into hills and the blood turned into streams.
The towering corpses were piled on the carriages like torn sacks, one after another, to be devoured by the unattainable national treasure.
Who can endure such a hellish scene on earth?
Even if it is not for anything else, just for your own life, you must resist.
In just a few months, various rebel forces rose up and continued to converge into the ranks of the God-Destroying Cult, making this tide of change even stronger.
In the end, wherever the army of the God-Destroying Cult passed, the army and warriors surrendered.
The common people brought food and drink to welcome the royal army.
In just less than a year, the God-Destroying Society had occupied almost half of the eastern and northern parts of the entire continent.
The number of warriors has expanded to an incredible number. Almost all the warriors still alive have joined in and followed Lu Wenwu to fight against the divine soldiers.
At this level, even if there are some small forces that are loyal to the magic weapons, they can no longer make any waves.
The missing combat power of countless warriors who practiced the martial arts visualization diagram has been made up. The powerful ones are even holding the magic weapons that have been forcibly suppressed and refined, and their combat power is extremely powerful.
After half a year of war, Lu Wenwu never took any action.
The God-Destroying Society easily broke through half the world and arrived in front of the ascension platform where Lu Wenwu had been attacked a few years ago.
Divine Soldiers, Undead Empire, and God-Destroying Society.
The three parties gathered here.
Everyone is clearly aware of this.
The ultimate battle that will determine the future direction of the Divine Weapon Continent is about to begin.
