A strong gust of wind blew away the stench of blood after the battle. At this moment, Xiao Chen was standing at the edge of the blood-colored forest near the Azure Mountain Combat Division. Relying on his supreme strength as a Venerable, he easily broke the three-kilometer-wide blood-colored formation.
In his hand was a fist-sized, blood-colored bead. It was formed from the blood and flesh devoured by the formation. However, the strange thing was that this bead did not have the slightest stench of blood. Instead, it had a hint of freshness.
This scarlet formation was a Devouring Formation. It did not have much offensive power. It seemed like it was used to devour and collect flesh and blood. The energy contained in the blood pearl in Xiao Chen's hand would be of significant help to a Third Heaven or even a Fourth Heaven of the Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Layer.
Through the battle, it devoured the corpses of both sides and turned them into blood-colored energy. This formation was obviously set up by the foreign races. It seemed that the foreign races had allowed the human combat divisions to discover their tracks because they knew that the human race would send combat masters to encircle and annihilate them.
"Could it be that the foreign races want to use the blood and flesh to nurture experts?"
A sharp light flashed across his eyes. Xiao Chen fiddled with the bead in his hand. A moment later, he tore open the void and disappeared on the spot.
In the depths of the Ancient Desolate Forest near the Crimson Bear Division, they suffered a sudden attack from the blood-colored formation. The Crimson Bear Division once again paid a heavy price, but similarly, the foreign races were also within the range of the blood-colored formation.
By the time they charged out of the formation, the Crimson Bear Division's thousands of combat masters had dwindled to less than a thousand combat masters. As for the Blood Refining realm cultivators, there were only a hundred or so of them. Even Shi Ya was injured by the backlash from the formation, and the remaining thousand or so Outsiders retreated deeper into the Desolate Ancient Forest.
Kacha!
The giant hand that Xiao Chen had created broke the blood-colored formation. A bead of blood appeared from within the formation. Around the bead of blood, there were many thick, snake-like meridians that had yet to disappear. A viscous, blood-colored paste was still gathering towards the bead of blood from these meridians.
This was a blood orb that was twice the size of the blood orb Xiao Chen had obtained previously. It had a dense bloody aura, which had already been transformed into the purest blood-colored energy.
And at this moment, the energy contained in the blood-colored ball of light was enough to improve the martial arts cultivation of a martial artist at the fifth heaven of the Heavy Building Realm. This was the accumulation of the flesh and blood essence of tens of thousands of martial artists.
Windfall Cliff.
The sudden activation of the Crimson Formation had forced the remaining combat masters of the Transcendent Specter Division to retreat to the edge of the cliff two hundred li away. Most of the remaining combat masters were severely injured.
"My lord."
As a great warrior at the peak of the Fifth Heaven of the Heavy Building realm, Wan Tian Xing was entrusted by Xiao Chen to come to the aid of Yue Ge Battalion. As a wanderer who had roamed the desolate border for hundreds of years, this was the first time he had encountered such a rampant foreign race.
In the past, these foreign races that hid in the depths of the Wasteland were all extremely cautious, afraid that they would be discovered by the Human Clan and be surrounded by the Human Clan.
Even if there were some foreign races that dared to attack the Human Clan combat divisions, they would all choose the remote and low-rank combat divisions to attack. After a single strike, they would flee a thousand li away without delay.
There had never been a foreign race combat master who dared to openly attack a mid-rank human combat division. But now, the situation had changed. These foreign races not only dared to attack a mid-rank human combat division head-on, they had even slaughtered several mid-rank human combat divisions.
"Chief Yue, let the warriors under your command rest for a while and treat their injuries. The foreign races won't be able to attack us for a while. Moreover, Commander Mu has already returned to the Gu Yuan Tribe to ask for help. I believe Chief Xiao will arrive soon."
"I have already given the order. Thank you, my lord, for saving my tribesmen."
There was a foot-long knife wound on the chest of the chief of Yue Ge Battalion. It was mottled with blood. Clearly, he had suffered serious injuries. During the battle with the foreign races, the blood-colored formation had suddenly been activated, and the foreign races seemed to have known about it. They had actually blocked the Human Clan's soldiers in a frenzy, and some had even self-destructed. The Yue Ge Battalion could be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Not only that, but they had also lost an elder at the Heavy Building realm. There were only a few Heavy Building realm warriors in the entire Yue Ge Battalion. This was equivalent to losing one-fifth of the tribe's combat power. If Wan Tian Xing had not exploded with absolute strength and blocked the counterattack of the foreign races, even he would have been in danger of dying.
Crack!
A three-meter-wide crack appeared in the void, and Xiao Chen stepped out of the Insight Void World. At that moment, there was a trace of a miserable aura on his body. After tearing open the void and entering the Insight Void World from the Crimson Bear Battalion, Xiao Chen discovered that he had actually entered a silver spatial storm.
The spatial storm of the Insight Void World was enough to tear apart a Venerable. Xiao Chen had pushed his Golden Battle Body to the limit in order to charge out of the spatial storm. As a result, it had taken him more than two hours.
After charging out of the Insight Void World, Xiao Chen determined his direction and rushed towards Windfall Cliff.
At that moment, a figure appeared like a ghost in the valley at the center of Windfall Cliff. Every time he landed, his body seemed to melt, and in the blink of an eye, his body had already solidified hundreds of meters away.
However, this was not an afterimage that was formed when one's speed reached the limit. Finally, the figure stopped at the edge of the blood-red formation. Only at that moment did his figure become completely real. It was a demon with the head of a wolf and the body of a human. However, what was different from other wolf demons was that this wolf demon's entire body was silvery-white.
A Shadow Wolf!
The mutated bloodline of the wolf demon race was innately compatible with the way of wind. In fact, when the bloodline evolved to the limit, it could even transform into the wind and disappear without a trace. At that moment, a mutated wolf demon had actually appeared here.
At this moment, there weren't any corpses left on Windfall Cliff, and even the remaining mottled bloodstains were covered by the sand that was swept up by the strong wind. If it wasn't for the traces of bloodstains remaining, it would be utterly difficult to believe that a horrifying battle had actually occurred here not long ago.
Whoosh!
A dark red light shot out from the wolf demon's eyes and continuously swept across the range of the formation. After a long time, the wolf demon opened its mouth and took a step forward, stepping towards the center of the formation. In the end, it even let out an ancient syllable.
The syllable that was difficult to understand reverberated in the valley. On the ground, cracks that looked like spiderwebs began to split open. There was even a sizzling sound as blood-red liquid flowed out from every crack. Very soon, the smell of blood filled the air once again, and blood-red light blossomed in the sky.
…
"Greetings, Venerable One!"
Xiao Chen's figure appeared at the mouth of Windfall Cliff. Clan leader Yue Ge was instantly shocked, and he immediately bowed to Xiao Chen.
His gaze swept across the many soldiers below. Almost all of them were injured, and some of them were even prostrating on the ground, wailing endlessly. It was a pitiful scene.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen waved his hand. There was a flash of light in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a small mountain of one foot tall had appeared in front of Yue Ge. The small mountain was formed by many jade bottles.
"This is a healing medicine. Distribute it to the warriors to heal their wounds first."
Very soon, the elder of Yue Ge's army carried the pills and walked towards the injured soldiers. Xiao Chen's gaze turned to Yue Ge and Wan Tianxing.
"What was the situation of the battle just now?"
"Clan leader Xiao, in my opinion, this must be a scheme of the foreign races," Wan Tianxing said solemnly when he heard Xiao Chen's question.
"The battle was in full swing. Our human battle masters were locked in a fierce battle with the foreign races, and it was impossible for them to separate in a short period of time. At this moment, the formation suddenly appeared, and the foreign races became even crazier. As if they had received a signal, they crazily charged towards us. In order to prevent us from leaving the formation, they even self-destructed in order to leave more soldiers behind."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. Three battlefields, three blood-colored formations. This was definitely not a coincidence. Using the battle to collect the corpses and turn them into flesh and blood essence, the foreign races must have some unknown motive.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, in the distant depths of the Windfall Cliff, hundreds of blood-colored lights suddenly exploded in the sky.
Hu!
In the next moment, Xiao Chen's figure disappeared from Wan Tianxing and Wan Tianxing's eyes. He turned into a shadow and flew towards the depths of the Windfall Cliff.
The blood-colored formation exploded with energy, but it also dissipated very quickly. The distance of two hundred miles was crossed by Xiao Chen in just a few breaths' time. However, all that was left in front of him was a barren land. There was no longer any blood-colored lights, and there was no trace of anyone.
Frowning slightly, Xiao Chen's eyes shot forward. Using his Spiritual Sense, he felt a slight fluctuation in the wind. Then, his figure turned into a flowing light and chased after it.
On the other side of the Windfall Cliff, a shadow constantly disappeared and reappeared in the void. In this figure's hand, there was a fist-sized blood-colored ball of light. The surging power made the Demon Wolf feel very satisfied.
Wait!
Suddenly, the Wolf Demon, who had a trace of joy on his face, frowned. He was shocked. He felt a trace of murderous intent in the wind that blew past him.
Not good!
In the next moment, the Wolf Demon's figure suddenly exploded with a green light. His speed actually increased by several times. Even his afterimage disappeared in the void. His entire body seemed to have merged with the wind.
The Wolf Tribe!
However, Xiao Chen, who was behind, had already discovered this figure.
It was the Wolf Tribe again. Ever since the Cyan Moon Wolf Tribe found a hidden secret territory in the Desolate Border Region thousands of years ago, they used it as a breeding ground. Almost ninety percent of the foreign races' riots in the Desolate Border Region had traces of the Demon Wolf Tribe.
"Buzz!"
From between Xiao Chen's eyebrows, an invisible wave spread out and condensed into an illusory small spear. It sank into the void.
The Wolf Demon, whose body had originally merged with the wind, suddenly felt as if it had been struck by lightning. Its entire body trembled and immediately fell down.
The Soul Spear condensed by Xiao Chen's Spiritual Force directly attacked the Wolf Demon's Spiritual Sense. Immediately, the Wolf Demon was in a trance. If it were not for the fact that Xiao Chen wanted to obtain some information from him, his Spiritual Sense would have been destroyed.
