Recovery plan!
That was a method that was specially built to deal with the fault of the martial arts inheritance.
The physical bodies of divine grandmaster-level star beast martial artists were separated and sealed in the underground of each city. Their physical bodies were used as the array cores to gather even stronger heaven and earth spiritual energy.
That method was currently only used by the nine provinces.
Only the nine provinces had that level of star array.
Other nations also had their own methods. The most famous one was the genetic research project in America. They wanted to extract more energy from the star beasts and fuse it directly with the human body, they wanted to create powerful warriors even faster.
The nine provinces had sealed the star beast divine grandmasters so those star beasts wanted to kill and collect a large amount of blood essence so that the divine grandmaster-level star beast martial arts could break the star array and break out of the cage.
It was the same concept as Zhengyi’s method of unsealing a part of King El’s body.
There was more than one star beast saint emissary in the nine provinces, and there were more than a hundred thousand star beasts in the nine provinces.
At that point, the star beasts would come out in full force and save those martial arts experts in a continuous stream.
Through those martial arts experts, they would launch attacks on the humans and deal with some of the human martial arts experts, preparing for the beast calamity and completely disintegrating the humans.
It seemed that the real trouble was far from there.
However, humans had to take things one step at a time and first solve the problem in front of them.
At that moment, the divine soul’s Golden Book had already started to absorb and cultivate the Earth-shattering Celestial Dipper Array. As Ye Xiao had just used his spiritual energy to analyze the Earth-shattering Celestial Dipper Array, it was very easy for him to find the weakness of the array formation.
With a thought, his spiritual energy burst out.
Crack… Crack…
The Earth-shattering Celestial Dipper Array quickly cracked and finally shattered into pieces like a mirror.
Plop!
The star beast saint emissary collapsed onto the ground. After his memory was scanned by Ye Xiao, his entire body seemed to have collapsed. His face was pale and he panted heavily.
“You’ve won again. However, it’s useless to win against me.”
The star beast saint emissary still retained his last bit of stubbornness and dignity.
“I’ve already sent out star beast troops to Lingnan, Wanghai, and a few other cities. They will tear apart the humans in those cities and use the blood essence of humans to release King El.
“King El is a divine grandmaster. He will definitely kill you.
“How is it? Human, do you feel fear?”
“No, I’m very excited.”
The star beast saint emissary was stunned. He was completely confused by Ye Xiao.
“What nonsense are you talking about? That’s a divine martial arts prodigy! Divine! Even if your cultivation is very strong, facing a divine grandmaster, your life will still be in danger, right?”
Ye Xiao ignored him. He just flicked his finger and saved Huan Liuli.
Huan Liuli laughed sinisterly.
“Idiot, my master has wanted to eat grilled lamb chops for a long time. If it weren’t for the fact that he was too lazy to look for those arrays, he would have personally let King El out and barbecued him.
“Now that you guys have rescued him, my master is more than happy.”
The star beast saint emissary felt his mind completely split apart.
That fellow had actually already started planning to eat King El?
Who… Who was he?
However, not long after, he suddenly started laughing maniacally.
“Interesting, really interesting. Hahahaha… Even if you don’t care about King El, don’t forget how many humans will be massacred if you want to unseal King El?
“At least over a million humans will die tonight!
“If King El is unsealed, how many humans will be killed?
“Our Vanguard plan can still be completed.”
“Who said that I want to use the blood essence of humans to unseal King El?”
Ye Xiao’s sudden words caused the smile on the star beast saint emissary’s face to suddenly stop and stiffen.
“What do you mean?”
Ye Xiao ignored him and only looked at the sky.
The star beast saint emissary looked up with a dumbfounded expression. His eyes instantly widened and his pupils constricted. It was as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cellar.
At some point in time, hundreds of thousands of sword rays had already condensed on the canyon!
The power contained within each sword light was enough to easily kill a grandmaster-rank martial artist!
What was even more terrifying was that in the next second, they moved like shooting stars. No, they were like shooting stars whipping out in all directions.
Those directions were heading for Lingnan, Wanghai, and a few other cities.
“No !”
The star beast saint emissary screamed and fell into complete despair.
He finally understood why Ye Xiao did not have any nervous expression from the beginning to the end.
It was not that he did not care that the human race would be massacred, but it was because the human race would not be massacred at all!
He wanted King El to be freed, but he did not want to use the blood essence of the human race to break the seal. Instead, he wanted to use the blood essence of the star beasts to break King El’s seal!
No wonder!
He had obviously already sent Huan Liuli as an insider, so she should know that other cities also had storage rings. However, he had not made her stop them and allowed her to release the star beast army.
He only rushed over when he reached Jianghai city.
He did it on purpose!
He deliberately let all the star beasts arrive in the nearby cities and be killed at a specific location!
He had already planned that from the very beginning. The hundreds of thousands of star beasts that he and the others had all become his toys, being played around in his hands!
At that moment, Ye Xiao and Huan Liuli’s gazes once again landed on him, causing his body to once again involuntarily shiver.
What kind of gaze was that?
It was dark green and filled with greed and desire.
“What, what do you want to do?”
He could not help but retreat slightly. Ye Xiao’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that seemed warm but made him extremely fearful.
“Huan Liuli, set up the wok! Let’s go, braised b*stards!”
“Alright!”
…
In Lingnan City, the star beast troops had already arrived. It was as if they had detonated in the center of the city, instantly causing the entire Lingnan city to fall into a white-hot state of war.
“Quick! All the cultivators in the center, retreat and form an encirclement outside. We must not let these star beasts spread out. We must make them disappear from this area. We must not let them harm the humans.”
“This won’t do. There are too many star beasts. We can’t hold on much longer!”
“There are grandmaster-level star beasts here. No, actually, they are great grandmaster-level star beasts!”
“Retreat! Retreat!”
…
The human race fell into a state of panic. No one had expected that so many star beasts would suddenly appear.
The number of star beasts was too dense, and their attacks were so numerous that it was dazzling.
Under the continuous illumination of the seven stars alignment, the eyes of the star beasts started to turn red. They were like bloodthirsty beasts, extremely thirsty.
The star beasts that were originally at the first level of the Houtian realm were now at the third or fourth level of the Houtian realm.
The star beasts that were originally at the fifth level of the Houtian realm were now above the seventh level.
Although there were only around 20,000 star beasts and their numbers were far inferior to humans, their cultivation levels were far above the average level of humans.
One could foresee that a catastrophe would befall the humans in many cities tonight.
However, at that moment, sword lights that were as bright as shooting stars suddenly came from the sky.
“What’s that?”
Some human warriors had already discovered the sword lights, and the star beasts had also discovered the sword lights.
The sword lights were extremely fast一as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it arrived above the star beasts’ heads. In the eyes of all the star beasts, it grew bigger and bigger!
Boom! Boom! Boom…
In an instant, the sword light was like a dragon, forming a pillar of light that shot up into the sky, enveloping all the star beasts within it.
Explosions and screams rose one after another.
Countless star beasts did not even have the time to display their might before they were blasted into corpses in the blink of an eye.
The shockwave spread out and mercilessly destroyed the buildings, causing dust to fly everywhere.
The human grandmaster shouted, “Retreat!”
“Quick! Retreat! Everyone, retreat! Human grandmaster, cast a barrier and release the shockwave!”
Before the seven stars alignment, the alliance would draw a small portion of their forces from the battlefield and send a small portion of their grandmaster reinforcements. It was the perfect time to use them.
Several grandmasters used their cultivation techniques. Although they could not completely change the direction of the shockwave, they could at least weaken it a little.
When the shockwave hit them, the grandmasters were forced back, and their blood essence and spiritual energy started to churn.
However, that attack fell straight into the ground, and the ground received most of the impact, so the shockwave was weakened quite a bit.
After the grandmasters were pushed back nearly a hundred feet, they slowly stopped.
Everyone looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes!
It was too terrifying!
Just the shockwave from the battle had reached such a level, and a large portion of the shockwave had been absorbed by the ground. If it hit the grandmasters directly, they would probably be turned into ashes!
Who was it?
Who was it? Who had such great power?
The shockwave lasted for more than ten seconds. After the last few rays of sword light stopped, it finally calmed down. However, the ground and buildings were still trembling slightly.
The dust continued to spread out.
The human grandmasters gulped and looked at each other.
“Let’s go! Let’s go and take a look.”
Everyone quickly went forward. However, when they arrived in front of the huge pit, they were shocked to the point that their souls went numb again. Goosebumps appeared all over their bodies!
A huge pit 1,500 feet deep had been created on the ground. It was vertical like a cliff.
In the crater, the blood of the star beasts seemed to have turned into a pool.
There were more than 20,000 star beasts, and some of them were grandmasters. Even one of the great sect star beasts had been completely annihilated within dozens of seconds.
It was simply unbelievable.
“Who did this? Could it be that a divine sect has descended into Lingnan City?”
“I don’t know. However, no matter who it is, he is Lingnan city’s benefactor.”
More than 20,000 star beasts, and under the enhancement of the seven stars alignment, became even stronger.
If the other party had not made a move, there was no telling how many humans would have died in Lingnan city today!
However, they, who were glad to have survived the calamity, did not see that the fresh blood was slowly sinking into the ground below the city.
