Chapter 480 "Bridgehead Battle"
The Lord of Darkness left the challenge world. Wei Huan got the news immediately and the first level of Qiyuan Star prepared for war.
Sure enough, 27 hours after the challenge began, a dominant-level pressure carrying a strong smell of dark laws and chaos rolled in from the direction of the challenging world.
From a distance, Wei Huan could smell the rotten egg smell of the gas leak.
Wei Huan brought Mu Zhong and waited on the road that He had to pass, acting calmly.
After seeing Wei Huan, the Lord of Darkness stepped on the "brake" on the chassis. The two sides were thousands of miles apart and looked at each other with their spiritual sense.
The Lord of Darkness learned his lesson. After seeing Wei Huan, he did not pounce on him directly, but observed him carefully.
The Lord's spiritual sense has an extremely terrifying range. After knowing the coordinates of Qiyuan Star, He locked onto this place immediately.
Then, he discovered the location of that star field, which he couldn't even clearly see with his master's divine sense. An unknown force enveloped that star field, seemingly the power of an ancient god. However, although this divine field was vast, there weren't many ancient god powers that could be blocked even by the master's divine sense.
Could it be that the Primordial Emperor is protecting this star region?
The Taichu Emperor fell, the Hongmeng Emperor and the Hundun Emperor were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, and now there is still an Yuanshi Emperor who was seriously injured and disappeared, and has not appeared until today.
The other gods were not broad-minded enough to know the wonders of this star field, but the Lord of Darkness was second only to the emperor, so how could he not know the strangeness of this place?
He stopped at a distance, and his gaze shifted from the location of the Qiyuan Star to the human Wei Huan who was "waiting" for him right in front of him.
He is clearly only a main god, but his attitude is so hateful.
Thinking of this, the Lord of Darkness chose to retreat, and then opened a crack in the source of chaos behind him that allowed him to enter and exit.
Before leaving, although he seemed to focus his gaze on Wei Huan, he was actually looking at the Chaos Source Crack at the edge of the Qiyuan Star Domain.
He saw the rift, and also saw the fortifications built by humans in front of the rift. It was like a long sword that had pierced into the source of chaos, making him furious.
Good, very good.
Since you have chosen positional warfare, then just fight.
If you dare to confront this most evil beast in the world, I will let you, a bunch of ignorant people, know that the dark clan entered the Chaos Source Rift not to escape from the world, but for a more important mission.
The Lord of Darkness decisively retreated back to the source of chaos. The crack quickly closed in Wei Huan's eyes, and he lost the trace of the Lord of Darkness.
Wei Huan said to Mu Zhong, "Let's go back."
Mu Zhong's spiritual awareness was far away, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Wei Huan said: "The Lord of Darkness has chosen to fight on the battlefield we have set. What follows will be a difficult offensive and defensive battle."
"Understood, we'll go back now."
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong returned to the baby bus and soon returned to the rift.
Everything is in place here, and all guns and artillery are loaded.
Before coming over, Wei Huan immediately informed Xu Qingqiang of the latest news. Xu Qingqiang was in charge of the war deployment in this area. The exercises that had been going on for many days finally started today. The entire front line was like a precisely meshed gear machine, "clicking" to operate and produce a stronger and more complex force.
At the same time, the Lord of Darkness appeared without any delay near the Chaos Source Crack bordering the Origin Star.
Looking at this overly large crack in the source of chaos, I suddenly understood a lot.
No wonder these humans came all the way here. Not only did they open the Chaos Source Gap, they even formed a completely fixed entrance and exit passage.
The Lord of Darkness actually didn't quite understand. What was the purpose of these humans constantly going to the Chaos Source Rift, killing a large number of evil beasts, and destroying the evil beasts' nests?
But he was "guilty as a thief" and had already determined that these humans were destroying Chaos Emperor's chances and preventing him from rescuing the Emperor.
Of course, judging from the final result, it is indeed the case.
However, what the Lord of Darkness could never have imagined was that these humans had an even more perfect ability to absorb chaotic energy than they did. Even ordinary practitioners could improve themselves by absorbing the soul power of evil beasts.
As gods, lower-level gods who absorb the power of evil beasts will be contaminated by chaos and lose their sanity.
The Dark Clan is not weak, but compared to the Undead Clan, which was once so powerful that it almost unified the Divine Realm and was regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the two emperors, the Dark Clan's foundation is still far from enough.
The Lord of Darkness came around to the crack of the Chaos Source Rift and looked at the human fortifications that had already advanced into the Chaos Source Rift. He twisted his face and opened his mouth.
The entire kingdom of God, which is like a kingdom the size of the universe, appeared out of thin air in this chaotic source gap. Some of the human works even appeared directly in the dark universe.
This universe was just like what Wei Huan had seen at the beginning, like a black preserved egg, and the entire space was shrouded in the laws of darkness.
In this separately opened space, there are a total of 14 kingdoms of God, including the Lord of Darkness.
If the kingdom of a mid-level god is like a galaxy, then this world composed of 14 kingdoms of gods is Wei Huan's understanding of the limits of the universe when he was still an ordinary person.
Ordinary humans will never be able to reach the edge of the universe.
One can imagine how huge the entire dark universe is.
The "bridgehead" built under the leadership of Xu Qingqiang and used in this defensive battle was completely covered in the dark universe.
The dark universe contains dark laws that humans are not very adaptable to, and it is also mixed with the pollution accumulated by chaos.
But unlike the challenge world, this bridgehead is an important fortification against the invasion of the Dark Clan. Although there are a large number of humans in it, it has not been contaminated and out of control by the dark laws.
A ball of light rose above the bridgehead, shielding the polluting laws. At the same time, a large number of weapons made of divine rune materials, after a brief warm-up, fired laser-like beams of attack forward.
"Swish swish!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The nearest planet, which was aimed at from afar by the divine consciousness of the god Haotian as a radar, was attacked fiercely by the divine weapons on the bridgehead.
"Boom! Boom!"
The horrific damage passed through the planet's barrier and landed directly inside the planet.
This outermost planet is the kingdom of a lower-level god.
The only pity is that all the irrational lower-level dark gods were killed by Wei Huan. Now the new god who has just inherited the godhood is still rational. He did not go crazy in the face of the attack. Instead, he blocked the attack of the divine weapons and sent out all the powerful believers in his kingdom to launch a fierce attack on the human bridgehead.
Most of the dark followers are black and gray beasts, just like the monsters and demons in human myths and legends, wolves with snake-like necks, foxes with nine tails, and dogs that can swallow a mountain with one mouth.
After receiving the power of the gods, these believers also gained the ability to leave the world. They spread their wings, ran as fast as they could, and rushed towards humans.
"Everyone! Listen up! Prepare to attack!!" Xu Qingqiang gave the order.
But what really made humans be on high alert were not the believers from the lower-level gods' kingdoms, but the evil beasts that came out from behind the kingdoms.
Evil beast!
This is an evil beast!
The attack power does not reach the level of a main god, and it cannot destroy the existence of the soul at all.
The soul is immortal and the body is indestructible.
To date, the only gods among humans who have the ability to kill evil beasts alone are Wei Huan, Xu Qingqiang and Dou Lin.
Their souls are glowing, attracting the souls of the masters who have already transformed into the Tao to return to their places, showing their differences more and more.
But even so, there are only three gods on the human side who have the means to kill the evil beast.
However, thousands and thousands of evil beasts appeared all at once and rushed towards this side like the sea.
In comparison, the combat effectiveness of the followers of the lower gods is such that they can only become cannon fodder on such a battlefield.
The evil beast is getting closer.
I saw 25 formations appearing on the bridgehead on the human side. Each formation had two demigods, 30 domain masters and 3,000 level nine challengers.
They stepped on the formation that had been drawn in advance. As they input their energy into the formation, the formation emitted a silver light that eventually converged in the bodies of the two demigods.
The two demigods suddenly grew larger, and they actually became incarnations of gods. They were thousands of feet tall and appeared in front of the bridgehead.
There are a total of 50 incarnations of gods, both male and female, experienced veterans such as Captain Xue’s Hammer Brother, and young strong men who have emerged in recent years.
With the help of the magic circle, they possessed the strength of a god in one fell swoop, and then skillfully concentrated the power in their bodies.
Amidst a series of roars, 50 ball-shaped lightning-like objects flew out from their hands.
50 spherical lightning bolts flew out, forming a large lightning net in the air, which covered the evil beast.
“Crackle!”
The beast, whose body was quite tough, immediately started to emit a burnt smell like meat on a grill.
The entire offensive momentum also came to a standstill.
But although the lightning net hurt the evil beasts, it could not kill them. Even if it just trapped them, the time was limited.
Humans certainly don’t go to such great lengths just to do this.
In a blink of an eye, the number of evil beasts covered by the lightning net exceeded hundreds.
At this time, Haotian, who had been in the middle of the magic circle, took action.
That’s right, Haotian has always been there, and he is the core of the magic formation created by more than 60,000 powerful people.
As the powerful force surged into his body until it reached saturation, he gritted his teeth and used the power of God to release this force violently.
A huge sword that seemed to be able to split the sky and the earth in two appeared above the net with a strong sense of oppression, and then slashed down.
"cut!"
Haotian opened his lips, put his right hand together, and then his long hair flew violently, and he pressed his fingers downwards.
"boom!"
The entire net was pierced and split into two. The evil beasts huddled together inside were like balloons that had been punctured. With a "puff puff" sound, they turned into a powerful chaotic hurricane, rushing in all directions and dissipating.
Some evil beasts relied on their immortal souls to quickly grow flesh and blood again.
But Haotian's move still left more than 30 soul forces, floating and flashing on the battlefield.
A lower-level god, with the help of a magic circle, killed 30 first- and second-level evil beasts in one fell swoop. This record is already very amazing.
But this is only the most insignificant achievement in this battle.
Dou Lin had been drifting outside the bridgehead for a long time. He was wearing a military uniform, had short, strong hair, and his eyes were full of the toughness and seriousness of a soldier.
He stood tall and straight, facing the large number of evil beasts that rushed out after the giant lightning net was broken. He raised one hand forward, and the space was torn apart, and he saw dozens or hundreds of evil beasts as if they were placed in a transparent glass tank.
The glass jar shrank "bang bang bang" and the evil beasts were squeezed together and mushy together like a meat pie.
At this time, Dou Lin clenched his raised hand into a fist.
“Puff!”
Just like breaking a glass bottle filled with water, the evil beast inside also shattered to the ground, leaving behind a large amount of soul power.
Almost none of the first-level evil beasts survived, and many of the second-level evil beasts also died. The small number of remaining ones are still alive and are working hard to grow flesh and blood.
But before they could fully revive, a new space cage appeared here. This time, the space was compressed smaller and smaller, so small that even the flesh and blood of the evil beasts turned into mud.
Then it exploded again with a "bang".
This time, all the evil beasts died and the enemies on the left wing were quickly cleared out.
Dou Lin completed the task and turned to look at other battlefields.
Haotian was only a lower-level god, so he used a magic circle to gather the power of all the powerful human cultivators, turning himself into a turret and possessing the ability to kill evil beasts.
Further on is the area that Brother Qiang is responsible for guarding.
As an "old killer", Brother Qiang's greatest pleasure over the past hundreds of years has been hunting evil beasts, so there is no need to worry about him at all.
When Dou Lin finished his work and looked over, Brother Qiang had already killed all the evil beasts in his range. He was picking his nails out of boredom and even wanted to rush into the enemy camp to kill more happily.
The Dark Lord's strategy of taking advantage of the battlefield layout and engaging in close combat with humans completely failed.
The Lord of Darkness looked at Dou Lin and Xu Qingqiang from afar as they showed their impressive strength. This time, there was no contempt in his eyes.
Humans who can be with the strong will not be weak. This group of humans are obviously the undead with a new skin but the same core.
The Undead were so powerful back then that even though this tribe no longer exists, they still retain a great reputation in the heart of the Lord of Darkness.
These gods who displayed divine powers far beyond their own level were probably the reincarnations of some powerful Undeads, right?
hateful!
Wasteful Lord of Light!
With such a huge advantage, having completely destroyed the Undead, they were allowed to revive again.
This time, they came with such force that it would be a million times more difficult to wipe them out!
The Lord of Darkness had always looked down upon the Light Race due to the conflicting laws. Now, after seeing that the human race had grown so powerful, he cursed the Light Race in his heart.
After observing for a while, the Lord of Darkness arranged all the lower-level gods and evil beasts to go out, and at the same time, the fifth-level evil beasts were in the rear.
Fortunately, this battle took place in the Chaos Source Gap. Otherwise, the evil beasts would have lost much of their combat effectiveness after leaving the chaotic environment. Some evil beasts could not even withstand the damage from the laws of the Divine Realm and might have directly lost their combat capabilities.
In the Chaos Source Gap, even in the shallow layer, the environment here is enough for a level five evil beast to exert most of its strength.
At the same time, the dark master who was driving the evil beasts forward unknowingly reduced his presence until his breath was completely gone, hiding in the army of evil beasts attacking humans.
He did not hide his intentions. He wanted to use the army of evil beasts to launch a sneak attack on the human bridgehead, kill these human gods, and recover his losses.
Moreover, he discovered that these gods were all stronger than his own godhood level. It was not only because they were a race reincarnated from the undead, but they also obviously had a special way of cultivation that made them stand out.
In other words, the human gods who use the same cultivation method have the same energy in their bodies as the human Wei Huan, which is also what the Chaos Emperor needs.
He had no confidence in capturing the human Wei Huan, but he was very confident in capturing these human gods who had appeared and reporting back to his superiors.
The dark god has a great advantage in stealth. He restrains his breath and wanders in the cracks of time. If the emperor does not specifically investigate, he will not be able to find his trace.
With his ability, capturing two mid-level gods is a piece of cake.
The Lord of Darkness came to the front line of the battlefield like a wisp of gray smoke, with the cover of the army of evil beasts.
After waiting for a while for the opportunity, his face turned dark.
The undead army blocked the high-level evil beasts' path. A Chaos-level Zerg as huge as a mountain, which had never been seen before, completely blocked the high-level evil beasts' attack path.
What made him most angry was this Chaos-level Zerg, which kept slapping the void with its feet, causing space vibrations that reduced the mobility of all the evil beasts approaching him by one third.
The most important thing is that this method of shocking the void is the natural enemy of dark stealth.
It is no longer possible to sneak among humans silently.
Even if he is the master, a chaos-level bug is enough to knock him out.
The sneak attack plan ended before it even began.
The enraged Lord of Darkness roared for a general attack at the front line. Under his leadership, except for two middle-level gods who still had the power of chaos for a million years and stayed in the rear, all the newly promoted dark gods were sent to the battlefield by him.
Since a sneak attack is impossible, let's use all the strength of both sides to fight!
He just didn't believe that after the Dark Clan had been operating in the source of chaos for millions of years and had the means to drive evil beasts, they couldn't even defeat a new civilization.
The all-out attack by the Lord of Darkness did put pressure on the human side.
The god-level power concentrated on Kaishan's body. Even though Kaishan was very strong, he was still bombarded and pushed back continuously.
In particular, the dark master seized the opportunity and slapped Kaishan with his claws, directly knocking Kaishan away from his original position, tearing a hole in the iron wall of defense.
The level five evil beast rushed in like cannon fodder, facing human artillery fire head-on.
But so far, only Wei Huan and his summons have been able to kill the level five evil beast.
The flying ants rushed forward and barely stopped three fifth-level evil beasts, but they were in a passive situation and were beaten.
A drop of water flew over from a distance and killed a fifth-level evil beast in seconds, but there were more than ten or twenty evil beasts around it.
Butterfly's ultimate move is very powerful. When it is charged enough, it can land in the middle of the evil beasts. It can not only kill the main target, but also destroy the combat effectiveness of the evil beasts in the surrounding area.
But the prerequisite is that the power is sufficient.
With the fifth-level evil beasts being used as cannon fodder and their lives at risk, the human race in the bridgehead received orders from their leader.
"Retreat, abandon this place."
The human army obeyed the orders and flew into the ancient world of the nearby gods in the shortest time possible.
Xu Qingqiang gathered his men, looked around, and was the first to leave: "Let's go!"
Behind him, Haotian and Dou Lin followed and quickly left the Chaos Source Gap.
Wei Huanze and Mu Zhong were the rear guards. After their spiritual senses swept through the building and confirmed that there was no human being left, Wei Huanze and Mu Zhong flashed and stood at the crack of the source of chaos.
The army of evil beasts felt the pressure relieved, and all the resistance in front of them disappeared. Even the Zerg and Undead were pulled back to the filthy world by the Hand of Death.
However, during the short period of evacuation, Wei Huan still lost a lot of Zergs, which made him feel very sad.
Then, looking at the evil beasts that had rushed to the "bridgehead", a cold look flashed in Wei Huan's eyes.
"burst!"
His lips opened, and Iron Heart received the order and activated the self-destruct function.
The next second, a rumbling sound was heard in the chaos source gap, and the rare divine pattern materials in the "bridgehead" turned into disposable bombs that could kill gods, like fireworks blooming in the dark night, blowing the evil beasts to pieces.
It was not until this moment that the Lord of Darkness realized his own carelessness.
He clearly knew that the human Wei Huan was extremely powerful. Not only were his summons strong, but his own combat power was also terrifyingly strong. In his eyes, there was no difference between a level five evil beast and a level three or four evil beast.
But the Lord of Darkness was still overwhelmed by the front line's advancement and the human race's embarrassing retreat. This short-lived victory made him lose his mind.
It had been a long time since he had fought such a large and complex legion battle.
Or perhaps, in His long reign, there had never been a battle of this magnitude.
Even when the Great Emperor Taichu fell and the Divine Realm was in chaos, He entered the Chaos Source Rift early in order to rescue the Great Emperor Chaos, resulting in missing out on countless epic battles between the "Light Dominant Interest Group" and the "Remnants of the Undead Clan."
In short, by the time the Lord of Darkness realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
He watched helplessly as a massive number of divine rune bombs were hidden in a building that had been evacuated of all humans. Their power could easily kill even level 3 evil beasts. Level 4 or 5 evil beasts wouldn't die, but they were still shattered and needed time to recover.
Among them, there was an extremely unlucky lower-level dark god. It was not known whether he was competing for credit or because the chaos affected his IQ, but he rushed to the front and his body was destroyed by the energy of the explosion. His divine nature was attacked and he died on the spot.
The Lord of Darkness almost got so angry when he saw this scene.
idiot!
a shame!
Even if the low-level gods are just cutting leeks that grow back one after another, they are still gods after all. How can they die so "easily"?
Are you trying to make your enemies laugh to death?
But even though the dark gods suffered heavy losses, it was an indisputable fact that a large army was pressing towards the human front.
The recovered evil beast came to the entrance of the Chaos Source Crack with a ferocious face, and soon filled the crack completely, separating it from the real defense line of the human army by thousands of miles.
The Lord of Darkness walked to the front of the army, and his six pitch-black leopard eyes looked at Wei Huan from afar.
Then he raised the corner of his mouth, revealing his sharp canine teeth.
