The experts from the Hundred Clan Battlefield had returned to guard the Desolate Border!
From First Elder Ming He and Old Stone's conversation, Xiao Chen finally gained some understanding of the desolate border region's resources. The desolate border region's ancestral court had stood on this land for who knew how long. Even though this land had suffered from endless calamities and blood and bones, the human race did not hesitate to reproduce generation after generation. There would always be some experts who settled down.
"In the past two months, although some Human Clan battalions in the Desolate Border were unfortunately attacked by the alien tribes, most of the alien tribes in the Desolate Border have been wiped out by the Human Clan. It can be said that if the alien tribes want to set off a big storm, they will need a lot of time to accumulate strength. However, if they want to delay the Human Clan, they will not be at ease. Next, the most important thing is to defend the land and prepare for war. But before that, we must kill the Wolf Demon completely!"
There was a strong killing intent in Ming He's eyes. The Wolf Demon had always been a great trouble in the Desolate Border. Even during the rebellion of the alien tribes this time, the Wolf Demon was the absolute main force. Now that there was a chance, how could he let it go?
"Let's go. Elder Shi has already invited a sleeping expert from the Ancestral Court. This time, I will go with you. It's time for the Blood Moon Wolf Ancestor to pay the price!"
After a while, Ming He stood up and walked out of the hall. Xiao Chen followed closely behind.
Half an hour later, at the top of the Sacred Tower of Flame.
"Greetings, Elder Mo!"
As the Great Elder of the Ancestral Court, Ming He bowed respectfully to an old man in black animal skin in front of him.
"This time, we need Elder Mo's help to encircle the Wolf Demon!"
This old man, who was called Elder Mo, had white hair and a haggard body. His face was full of wrinkles, and his whole body exuded a decaying aura, as if his life fire would extinguish at the next moment and he would step into reincarnation.
Since Ming He, the Great Elder of the Ancestral Court, was so respectful to him, Elder Mo's identity could be imagined. He must be a hidden expert hidden in the Ancestral Court.
Waving his hand casually, Elder Mo's beard and hair moved slightly. "Blood Moon Wolf Ancestor, when the previous Court Master killed him, I was only in the Venerable Realm. The old Court Master's long-cherished wish was to kill this Wolf Demon. Today, we can consider it as fulfilling the old Court Master's wish."
"Good!
Good!
Alright! "
Elder Hiroshi's gaze fell on Xiao Chen as soon as he finished speaking, and he praised him thrice!
"You must be the young man Old Man Stone was talking about. Old Man Stone was not lying. A thirty year old man. Such talent, even I have never heard of it before."
"Greetings, Senior!"
When he heard that the old man before him was actually a martial artist from the same era as the Bloodmoon Wolf Ancestor and had lived for thousands of years, Xiao Chen stepped forward and bowed.
"What do you mean by 'senior'? This old man has only lingered on for a few more days. This old bag of bones has been buried underground for so many years and is about to rot. Being able to appear once again and eliminate a great enemy of the Human Race is also a good thing!"
With that, Elder Hiroshi changed the topic and said, "Only those who have endured the trials of time can truly shine with unparalleled brilliance."
The old man had lived for thousands of years and had seen countless talented martial artists who had advanced triumphantly. However, Xiao Chen was only a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Venerable Realm. It was simply rare to see someone like him.
However, not all geniuses could advance triumphantly. Over the thousands of years, he had seen too many talented martial artists. Although they could not be compared to Xiao Chen, they were still the best in their respective regions. However, most of them failed and could not withstand the erosion of time.
Unparalleled talent would also have a time when their potential would be exhausted. There was no such thing as an eternal peak. Only by truly experiencing trials and killing one's way out would one not be able to determine one's peak until the very end. Geniuses could only live and continuously advance until they became the strongest. Only then could they be called immortal geniuses. Those who fell along the way could only be annihilated in the vast sea of the world.
At the top of the Sacred Pagoda, apart from Elder Hiroshi, there were four other figures. They were all at the Venerable Realm, and two of them were at the Great Perfection of the Venerable Realm like Xiao Chen.
"Do we need to wake up the experts who are sleeping at the bottom of the Sacred Pagoda?"
At that moment, Elder Shi's voice sounded again. The Bloodmoon Wolf Ancestor was infamous in the Desolate Border. After so many years, no one knew how much his strength had improved. Moreover, he could merge with the Divine Wood, so there must be a secret that they did not know, which was why Elder Shi said this.
Under the Sacred Pagoda of the Ancestral Court, there was a secret realm where some martial artists from the Desolate Border were sleeping. These martial artists might not be unparalleled in the Desolate Border, but their strength was definitely not lower than the Venerable Realm.
Most of these martial artists had exhausted their martial arts potential and had reached the limit of their combat power. They could no longer improve, and they did not have much lifespan left. They voluntarily sealed their bodies in blood stones, just so that when the Desolate Border faced a great disaster in the future, they could come out again and protect the inheritance of the Desolate Border's Human Race.
After being sealed in a specific blood stone, the various bodily functions of the martial artists would be reduced to the minimum, and the various life activities in the body would also stop. This would slow down the consumption of life, and correspondingly, they could live a little longer.
Speaking of which, these experts sleeping in the secret realm were the true foundation of the Desolate Border Region. Unless it was absolutely necessary, these warriors would not be easily awakened. This was because most of their lives had already reached the end. The purpose of their existence was to use their broken bodies to protect the inheritance of the Human Race at the last moment.
Just like Elder Hiroshi, he was in the same martial arts realm as Great Venerable Ming He, and his strength was even stronger. He was at the late stage of the Seventh Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm, but he was almost 8,000 years old. He had long reached the end of his life, and his potential had been exhausted.
Elder Shi had previously left the ancient palace to go to the secret realm to wake him up. It was even rumored that the oldest human expert sleeping in the Desolate Border was a Legendary Sovereign that had experienced the calamity of the Desolate Border ten thousand years ago. This existence could be said to be the most hidden taboo in the Desolate Border.
"Old Shi, there's no need. This old man and Ming He are enough to let those old fellows sleep for a period of time. After a few more years, it will be hard for them to sleep even if they want to. Us rotten people have not spared a large amount of resources to survive until today, isn't it all to protect the inheritance of our Human Race?"
Elder Hiroshi did not show any emotions in his words, as if he should be calm. But every single word of his was like a huge hammer knocking on everyone's heart.
Clearly, although he had just woken up, Elder Hiroshi had already known about what had happened in the Desolate Border, and knew about the arrival of the Hundred Realms River.
"Furthermore, that wolf demon has yet to break through to the Eighth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm. Even if I can't defeat it, my old bones have lived for so many years in vain. I will have no regrets even if I bring him into reincarnation!"
"Elder Hiroshi!"
Everyone was shocked. Clearly, Elder Hiroshi had already made a plan in his heart. He did not even hesitate to risk his life and perish together.
"You don't have to say anymore. This old man has lived for nearly eight thousand years, and the greatest regret in my life is that I couldn't rush to the calamity of tens of thousands of years ago to protect my fellow humans. Back then, this wolf demon had also participated in the encirclement, but it's a pity that he escaped. This time, it can be considered as a conclusion. Furthermore, I know my body well. My lifespan has already reached its end, and I only have slightly more than ten strands of lifespan left. Even if the wolf demon didn't appear, I can only live for a hundred more years if I'm sealed in the Blood Stone. Instead of dying in meditation like this, why not eliminate the enemy of our Human Race?"
After a moment of silence, Venerable Ming He's gaze swept across the surroundings. Two Seventh Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm Venerables, including Xiao Chen, and three Perfected Sixth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm Venerables. As for the remaining two Venerables, they were also in the late stage of the Sixth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm. This was the strength that the Ancestral Court had gathered to encircle the old wolf demon in a hurry.
At this moment, the aura at the top of the entire Sacred Pagoda instantly condensed. Even Xiao Chen's heart vaguely gave birth to a hint of battle intent.
"Everyone, this time, let's work together to slaughter this tumor for our desolate border. Fight!"
Rumble!
In the next moment, the void distorted, and the void above the Sacred Pagoda split open. A ferocious green horn was the first to appear. The bow of the warship was ten feet tall and covered in green runes.
There was a dragon-shaped beast roaring on the ferocious bow. On the deck of the warship, there was a huge cannon barrel pointing towards the sky. This was the warship of Venerable Ming He. The last time Xue Feng went to the Gu Yuan Tribe, it was this warship.
"Everyone, board the warship!"
Seeing the warship appear from the void, Venerable Ming He shouted.
Swoosh!
Immediately, seven figures traversed the void and stepped onto the deck of the warship. Only Elder Shi was left at the top of the pagoda.
"I will await your triumphant return in the ancestral court!" The old voice was filled with incomparable determination.
Crack!
Very soon, a huge hole was torn in the space once again. The cyan warship slowly squeezed into the hole. The pitch-black Insightful Emptiness World appeared in front of Xiao Chen's eyes once again. A magnificent aurora streaked across from afar. However, under the magnificent radiance, there was a boundless killing intent. There were many taboos in the Insightful Emptiness World.
At the very center of the bronze warship was a mast that looked like a heavenly pillar. It was dozens of feet tall and covered in all kinds of mysterious runes. Every rune had a faintly discernible spiritual will. It was Venerable Ming He who was controlling the warship to advance.
Unlike the Heaven-stage warship of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Venerable Ming He's small void warship did not need other warriors to operate it at all. It was filled with endless runes and arrays. As long as enough energy was injected, the warship's owner only needed to refine the control panel in the warship to allow it to operate freely. The mast was clearly where the warship's control panel was located.
"Clan Leader Xiao, where were you attacked by that old wolf demon?"
Xiao Chen told Venerable Ming He about the place where he was attacked by the wolf demon. Immediately, the huge warship trembled violently. The ferocious bow of the warship turned around, and fine ripples appeared in the void world, pushing the warship forward.
