Every clash resounded like a thunderstorm, deafening to the ears.
Each shockwave from the battle tore through the air and earth, leaving behind deep craters.
Ten Blood Commanders, ten Heavenly Kings!
Outside the tribal walls of the Skull Breakers, a rare grand battle unfolded.
Ji Xinghuo and his two companions positioned themselves towards the rear, the Highlanders before them had not yet crossed the river. From across the ice, Ji Xinghuo gazed at the battle, his heart pounding. The destructive power of such a battle was imnse; it was not sothing he could currently intervene in without danger.
He looked towards the riverbank and noticed over twenty Snow Ape Giants had frozen the river surface and then retreated backward.
Those giants had not joined the battle.
"Was the money not enough?"
Ji Xinghuo speculated, lifting his eyes just in ti to see a massive shadow rise from a canyon on the Red River Giant Peak, about ten thousand ters up the mountainside.
Mist Shadow Dragon!
The Dragon Lord had appeared again.
The Mist Shadow Dragon, with a wingspan of over thirty ters and resembling a giant bat, dived towards the ice surface from the sky at high speed.
"Blood Demon Bat! Intercept him!" a resounding command echoed across the battlefield.
Ji Xinghuo recognized the voice; it was "Duo Tai", the Blood Commander of the Blood Fury Tribe. Since the fight was six against four, the Blood Fury Tribe had the upper hand, so Duo Tai could still afford to command his troops.
From the rear of the army, hundreds of Blood Demon Bats took flight.
Each Blood Demon Bat carried a Highlander warrior on its back, forming ranks in the sky, covering the sun, led by four Legendary Blood Warriors, they rose to et the Mist Shadow Dragon.
"Cross the river, quick, quick, quick!"
"Don’t dawdle."
Ji Xinghuo’s rcenary group also soon arrived at the shore, with He Yan loudly urging the rcenaries to organize.
When Ji Xinghuo stepped onto the opposite shore, the area was swamped with people.
In front of him, two or three thousand Highlander cavalry had already crossed, rushing towards the walls like a tide at full speed.
From the riverbank to the city walls, spanning over four thousand ters, it erged as a natural battlefield.
"Charge!"
"Burn my blood, offer sacrifice to the Red Emperor!" The Highlanders shouted frantically as they charged, but they did not forget to avoid the Blood Commanders to escape being killed by the aftershocks of the battle.
"Follow ."
Ji Xinghuo shouted to Xia Qingyu and Misha.
The two reined their horses closer, Ji Xinghuo, mingled among the rcenaries, also charged, but not in a straight line, occasionally veering to the left. If soone were observing from the sky, they would notice he was following a diagonal line, as if to circumvent sothing.
When Ji Xinghuo was a little over a thousand ters from the walls, the leading Highlander warriors had already reached below the wall, and with a thunderous burst,
a hundred-ter-long section of the wall collapsed.
Amidst the dust and debris, the towering figure of Chieftain Guloke erged.
Taking advantage of his opponents being engaged by other two Blood Commanders, he swung his giant axe, creating a breach in the wall.
Highlander cavalry jostled to charge through the breach in the wall.
Guloke swung his axe, each blow from his towering over two ters tall figure shaking the ground, the walls collapsing faster like a chain reaction, the breach widened several tis to nearly five hundred ters in length.
"Warriors of the Red Emperor!"
Standing on the ruins of the collapsed wall, Guloke shouted loudly, "For blood! For glory! For strength! For the Red Emperor! Kill them, kill all those who stand in our way, let none survive! The Red Emperor is watching us, kill!"
His voice seed to possess a magical power, making the eyes of the Highlanders turn red.
A bloodthirsty aura perated the battlefield.
Even those who were not followers of the Red Emperor, the rcenaries were affected, their minds filled with the urge to kill, recklessly charging towards the collapsed wall.
Xia Qingyu’s breathing quickened, nearly gearing up to charge, but Ji Xinghuo called out to him.
He cald down slightly.
But his face still held so confusion and he asked, "The Blood Fury Tribe shouldn’t be losing, right?"
Boom...
Just as Xia Qingyu spoke, suddenly a loud bang erupted on the battlefield, the ground dramatically trembled, knocking down countless horses and Highlanders.
The sound ca from beneath the ground.
"An earthquake?"
Before people could react, the ground right in front of the city walls suddenly collapsed. Within a range of four to five hundred ters, the earth cracked and flipped, burying Highland warriors and a group of rcenaries along with their mounts under countless rocks and soil, vanishing without a trace.
A mountain arose swiftly from the ground, becoming ever taller, as countless fragnts of rock and soil tumbled down.
In a blink, a wall appeared in front of them.
Xia Qingyu was utterly terrified.
His position was only two or three hundred ters from the edge of the vast pit, and if he hadn’t followed Ji Xinghuo in deviating from their charge path just now, he might have already fallen into it.
Even more terrifying, what rose from the pit was not a wall, but a huge beast!
"Mountain Shifting Beast!"
Misha scread in shock.
Xia Qingyu also yelled in terror, "Run! The farther, the better!"
The two imdiately dismounted their warhorses and turned to run, finding that Ji Xinghuo had already turned, directing Qing Hong to run toward the left.
"Did you know about this all along?" Xia Qingyu asked while they raced madly away.
"Heh..."
Ji Xinghuo did not respond.
Yesterday, when they had just arrived at the riverside camp, electromagnetic induction had detected a huge creature hidden a hundred ters beneath the opposite riverbank; it was over three hundred ters long, with a robust body and limbs, resembling a rhinoceros covered in rock armor, but with a very long tail. It was integrated with the soil and rocks, as if in deep slumber.
Were it not for its overwhelmingly strong magnetic field, which ford a distinct outline, even he would have had difficulty detecting it.
This was a Mountain Shifting Beast, also known as a Mountain Range Giant!
True to its na, the Mountain Shifting Beast could grow as massive as a mountain range; the larger its form, the more terrifying its strength. It was said that there was no limit to the growth of a Mountain Shifting Beast’s body size. In the Star Realm, there were kiloter-long Mountain Range Giants, even more formidable than Shepherd Star Saints.
The Mountain Shifting Beast naturally possessed Earth Pulse.
With its gigantic body, a single Earth Pulse made the Mountain Shifting Beast nearly impossible to kill, its skin tough and flesh thick, with boundless strength and undying vitality.
Among creatures of the sa level, the Mountain Shifting Beast was over ten tis more difficult to kill.
This Mountain Shifting Beast was "teor" level, the highest of the four levels of Catastrophe monsters. If it could evolve again, it would beco a Slaughter Star monster.
A teor Level Mountain Shifting Beast was equivalent to a top-tier Heavenly King.
The attack thods of the Mountain Shifting Beast were few and limited, but they were sufficient.
Ji Xinghuo looked back.
He saw the "teor" level Catastrophe creature rise on its hindlimbs, bringing its massive forelimbs down heavily, unleashing a seemingly ordinary "Stomp."
Boom!
The ground trembled.
The entire battlefield and the glacier vibrated violently, and a terrifying shockwave swept through the area, carrying countless rocks and soil, knocking down every Highlander warrior within a kiloter radius.
Qing Hong, prompted by Ji Xinghuo, tily leapt into the air, dodging the stomp shockwave.
Xia Qingyu and Misha, however, were sowhat disheveled, covered in dust and dirt.
Fortunately, the three of them had already moved far enough away, and other Highlanders in the back bore the brunt of the shockwave, so it was not lethal.
The Mountain Shifting Beast cleared the enemies around it and began to climb out of the giant pit.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Every step it took caused a minor earthquake.
While the Mountain Shifting Beast was extrely hard to kill, it had one significant weakness: it moved slowly, and one could survive by simply running faster.
However, this was on a battlefield where the area between the city walls and the glacier was cramd with Highlander troops.
It was like throwing a lion into a cramped sheep pen.
"Back off!"
"Move back, get far away from this creature!"
The warriors of the Blood Fury Tribe urgently yelled, but there were simply too many people, too crowded, and the Mountain Shifting Beast slightly picked up its pace, issuing a deep, resounding roar.
Boom!
In front of the Mountain Shifting Beast, a fan-shaped area burst forth countless rock spikes from the ground.
The smallest of these spikes were three to four ters high, and the largest were over a dozen ters, thick as columns, resembling a vast forest of long spears. In an instant, hundreds of Highlanders within a few hundred ters were impaled. Just with a single widespread Earth Spur, the Mountain Shifting Beast had killed over three thousand Highlanders.
"Hiss... fuck!"
Ji Xinghuo involuntarily gasped, his head throbbing with pain, barely managing not to cry out.
His Spiritual Origin Ability surged by more than ten thousand points in an instant!
