Chapter 1021: Chapter 1024: The Moment of Intense Battle!_1 Chapter 1021: Chapter 1024: The Moment of Intense Battle!_1 Among the Endless Species, the Imperial Clan reigns supreme, supplemented by the four big tribes of the Demon Clan—this combination comprises the Endless Species.

Since the participants of the war all have very high realms, fighters at the Spiritual Mind Stage and God Realm Stage could only be infantry-level.

Unlike common human battles, this battle has each person spaced quite distantly from one another to allow room for individual combat.

Therefore, the crowd seemed more massive.

As far as one’s gaze and spiritual power could reach, until the eye’s limit, it was impossible to see any end.

Among the countless grotesque demons, there occasionally were demons at the Divine Stone Period or in the Demigod Realm.

Their tall and imposing figures intimidated any who looked upon them.

…

Leading at the forefront were the rock giants from the Monster Clan.

The rock giants towered over twenty meters high, known for their sturdy and robust bodies.

People often believed these rock giants lacked intelligence, but this was not the case.

They were not only incredibly strong, but also were naturally proficient in utilising the Earth element, making them quite tricky.

Along the sides of the rock giants were Wolf Clan Fighters from the Demon Clan.

They followed the rock giants, protecting them from harm as much as possible.

However, neither the rock giants nor the Wolf Clan Fighters consider the elite forces among the Endless Species.

This wave of attack seen as of little intensity likely remained within the exploratory phase.

These experts above the God Transformation level arrived, breaking through the sea of clouds.

**********

Numerous experts have gathered around Lin Zhen.

Besides Lin Zhen, Augustine, and the Giant Dragon King, there were twenty-seven experts at the Hall of Fame level.

Moreover, as the arrival of the start of the great war, each martial artist at the Hall of Fame level had a dazzling golden flag flying against the wind above their heads.

The side of the Ground Clan was marked gold, while the Endless Species was silver.

Thus, any expert at the Hall of Fame level had to make their stand—they were the focal point and the banner.

In addition, there were millions of demigods and tens of millions of experts at the Divine Stone Period.

Among these members of the Hall of Fame, some were close to Lin Zhen and the Giant Dragon King.

Still, many more were close to Augustine.

After all, Augustine had been in the Hall of Fame for countless years and was once the manager of Skyfire City.

His high position and great influence drew many to him naturally.

“Boss Lin, we can go and meet the enemy now, right?

Otherwise, if those guys charge towards us first, we will be on the defensive,” said the Giant Dragon King, eagerly anticipating the enemy’s attack.

Martial Artist battles differed from a standard army; setting rigorous troop formations didn’t serve much purpose here due to the incredibly powerful individual abilities of the martial artists.

When the Giant Dragon King opened his mouth, several experts at the Hall of Fame level immediately voiced their eagerness to fight.

Currently, the Ground Clan’s side was filled with a sense of pride.

In the minds of many, if the Ground Clan could once drive the people of the Endless Species into the Endless Star Sea, then they could do it again now.

Moreover, in this battle, the Ground Clan outnumbers the Endless Species.

From every aspect, their chance of winning is higher.

In addition, the first wave of assault from the Endless Species would typically not bring their strongest warriors.

Sweeping one’s gaze across the vast crowd from the other side, not a single Hall of Fame flag was in sight.

This is the perfect opportunity for achieving significant deeds.

However, Lin Zhen did not immediately agree to it.

In his opinion, the ongoing battle wouldn’t conclude in just two or three days.

This first wave of attack was of utmost importance.

The Endless Species surely wouldn’t want to engage in a losing battle.

Looking at the current combination of the rock giants and the Wolf Clan Fighters, it’s clear that they are not the elite forces of either side.

Could these people merely be cannon fodder?

Just as Lin Zhen was hesitating whether to send his main forces to meet the enemy, Augustine began to speak out in a gloomy tone.

“Lin Zhen, you may be the commander of the eighth battle zone, but I must remind you: many people are eager to perform meritorious services.

You must not refuse to let take the stage because of your own selfishness.

Some people may have a good relationship with me, Augustine, but I hope you won’t take out your anger on them because of our past grievances.”

Augustine’s words were a direct jab at the heart, obviously designed to sow discord.

Lin Zhen glanced over and saw several people around Augustine raring to go.

One martial artist named Zhou Can even snorted coldly, “If Master Lin Zhen believes that we are not up to the task, then send us to the other battle zones.

As the Endless Species invade, we all want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.

We don’t want to be the sacrifices of certain events, sleeping in the back.”

Lin Zhen looked at Zhou Can, eyes flashing, making Zhou Can retreat several steps in surprise, his heart in panic.

“In front of me, it’s not your turn to speak!”

Zhou Can seemed somewhat unwilling, but he dared not say any more.

Lin Zhen didn’t continue to make things difficult for him.

After a moment of contemplation, he made up his mind.

“Augustine, even though you’ve lost to me, rest assured.

I won’t nitpick over these trivial matters.

Since everyone is eager to battle, how could I not indulge them?

Go ahead, lead those who volunteered to fight.”

Augustine’s face darkened.

Losing to Lin Zhen was his deep regret, but he had no choice but to bear it now.

“Alright!

Let’s go and claim victory for this wave!”

A group of strong ones immediately gathered around Augustine, prepared to attack.

When the Endless Species approached within a hundred-kilometer range, Nine Profound finally sounded the charge.

“Destroy them!”

BOOM~~~~!!!

Like a river bursting its banks, billions of Ground Clan fighters charged into the Heavenly River.

In this moment, the clouds shattered, and the space trembled under their rallying cries.

A hundred kilometers was merely a moment’s journey for these experts above the God Transformation level.

Several seconds later, the two large species clashed!

From Lin Zhen’s perspective, upon the advent of the first wave, a rain of blood surged heavenward, forming a sprawling wall of fresh blood between the two armies.

In just a few seconds, millions had fallen!

This was the largest battle ever since the birth of the universe, rivaled only by the divine battles.

Like two canine teeth interlocking and crossing each other.

In some places, the Endless Species broke into the Ground Clan’s camp, while in others, the Ground Clan invaded the Endless Species’ camp.

Anywhere an incursion took place would undoubtedly be populated by powerful individuals capable of destroying enemies with ease.

But when the abilities of both sides were evenly matched, a standoff ensued.

Lin Zhen didn’t focus on other parts of the battlefield; his gaze was concentrated on the battle zone for which he was responsible.

In a battle of such scale, it was impossible to oversee all areas at once.

Lin Zhen’s attention was drawn to the most fiercely contested section of the battlefield.

That area was being led by Zhou Can, who operated under Augustine.

*********

Zhou Can ranked 72nd in the Hall of Fame.

After his performance in the last challenge, he believed his abilities had significantly improved.

He was confident that he now belonged in the top fifty, or perhaps even the top forty.

He was full of vigor.

This Skyfire War, he was entirely set on making a name for himself.

He was practically the first to charge towards the Endless Species’ camp.

He had clearly observed during his arrival that none at the Hall of Fame Level were present in this area.

It seemed like the Endless Species intended to use these soldiers as cannon fodder to exhaust them.

This suited Zhou Can fine; it gave him a prime opportunity to wreak havoc.

All Hall of Fame Martial Artists, regardless of who they were, generally didn’t take opponents beneath the Hall of Fame seriously!

A golden flag fluttered above him, making Zhou Can particularly noticeable on the battlefield!

A group of Wolf Clan Fighters clashed head-on with him.

Without uttering a word, Zhou Can pointed a finger, and seven flying swords soared into the sky!

As the strongest warrior in his original star system and a powerful Spiritual Mind Master, Zhou Can had dedicated himself to mastering the way of the flying sword over the years.

Coupled with his early-stage Sky Blue spiritual power, he was almost invincible.

The seven flying swords rotated in mid-air, forming a thunderous, advancing river of sword qi.

These Wolf Clan Fighters, whether at the Spiritual Mind Stage or the God Realm Stage, couldn’t hold their own against the onslaught of a Hall of Fame Level fighter.

In an instant, a river of blood was formed as their ranks were slaughtered!

“Stone Giants!

Hold this expert off!” A Wolf Clan Fighter shouted.

A group of Stone Giants thunderously stepped forward.

A sneer appeared at the corners of Zhou Can’s mouth: “Ridiculous!

These mere Stone Giants, despite being at the peak of the God Realm, can only resist an ordinary Divine Stone or Demigod for a while using their brute force.

They can’t even resist a King Sealing, yet they dare challenge me, a Hall of Fame fighter!”

“Vanishing Swords!

Shatter!”

The seven long swords in the sky transformed, turning into thousands of sword edges, raining down like a torrential downpour.

The Stone Giants advanced against Zhou Can’s sword qi.

Their formerly sturdy bodies now seemed to be made of tofu, shattered by Zhou Can into pieces.

One batch of Stone Giants fell, and another charged forward.

“God Realm Stage is no good.

Send out the Divine Stone Stage!”

A batch of even larger Divine Stone Stage giants rushed forward, but Zhou Can wasn’t fazed.

“Haha!

Divine Stone Stage, so what?

They’re just cannon fodder.

They’re delivering divine stones to me.

Once I collect enough divine stones, I can use a God Crystal to upgrade to a deity!”

Not every Divine Stone Stage fighter could become a deity through their own power.

Many deities choose to advance by using God Crystals, and that was exactly what Zhou Can planned.

Every deity required divine stones, and Zhou Can adored them.

No quantity was too much.

Divine Stone Stage Giants were many times stronger than those at the God Realm Stage.

Although they were still not Zhou Can’s match, they could hold out for a while longer.

Crash!

Under Zhou Can’s concentrated attack, two Stone Giants shattered!

A cluster of divine stones twinkled luminously – these were the divine stones from inside the Stone Giants.

Nearby fighters from both the major species had their eyes on the Divine stones, their eyes gleaming at the prospect of seizing them.

“Get the hell out of my way!

These are my spoils of war!” Zhou Can roared, sweeping his sword light across the area in a horsetail whirl, cutting down all who approached – regardless of their species.

When it came to divine stones and the distribution of benefits, even members of the same species could not be spared!

Zhou Can cleared out the people around him and beelined for the divine stones.

Gaining fame was one objective, but collecting divine stones on the battlefield was a desire shared by all fighters.

No one competed with him and he swiftly collected the pile of divine stones.

However, before he could revel in his success, shadowy figures closed in on him, and he was surrounded by dozens of Stone Giants.

Behind each Stone Giant hideously lurked a demon clan warrior.

Each one was a demi-god.
