Chapter 436: Taiyin appears and decides the outcome of the battle
On the battlefield that was boiling like fire, facing the beast tide that was coming like a wave, Wu Mu calmly gave the order, "Form a formation!"
Rays of blood mixed with colorful light surged from the warriors of the Yanhuang tribe. These lights intertwined to form a huge five-element celebration cloud that enveloped the area.
Although they do not have the essence and blood of dragon veins, as Zhou Tieyi's followers, the essence and blood of the warriors of each Yanhuang tribe here are equivalent to natural born monsters. Although they are only good at one or two of them due to their talents, when their bloodlines are combined, they immediately form a perfect five-element complementary formation, which allows the simplest military formation of the five elements to exert terrifying power.
Above the Five Elements Celebration Cloud, the spirits of the Yanhuang Tribe warriors combined to naturally manifest their original form. In the five-colored brilliance of blue, red, white, black and yellow, each of them condensed into the image of a mighty emperor.
Huangdi was in the center, holding a seal in his hand. He snorted coldly, and the condensed earth suddenly cracked into pieces, collapsing three or four feet, trapping the running beasts in it.
The Black Emperor held the bottle in his hand and poured it towards the crack. The earth transformed, and the hard ground became soft and turned into muddy soil. The beastmen trapped in it felt their legs go weak, and they wailed as they sank deeper and deeper. Some of the more powerful followers wanted to rely on their own strength to break free from the mud.
But the Green Emperor held the bamboo stick and swept it forward. A green light emerged from the turbid and dark yellow soil. Seeds fell one by one, and green thorny vines grew upwards wildly with unparalleled power. They grabbed the earth while grabbing the beasts that were struggling to move upwards.
Just after these green thorn vines wrapped around the beasts, the Golden Emperor stretched out his hand and the Five Elements transformed again. The green thorn vines seemed to have experienced the precipitation of time in an instant, turning into black iron color and becoming as sharp as metal. The barbs easily pierced the beasts' fur and penetrated into their flesh and bones. Amid the wailing of countless wild beasts, trickles of blood dyed the battlefield in front of them red. Nourished by the blood, more thorn vines grew out and wrapped around more beasts.
In the sky, wild beasts that could fly directly, like ravens, just arrived at the battlefield like dark clouds. In the bloody cloud formed by hundreds of warriors, the Red Emperor opened his mouth and blew, and wisps of raging flames were like flowing clouds. They just touched the flying crows and ignited the black feathers of the crows, and turned into brilliant fireballs in the sky, until all the flesh and blood were burned!
"this?"
Seeing this scene, the beast gods present were stunned. It's not like they haven't seen powerful human warriors before. Those human warriors who can be loved by gods and are willing to be bestowed with divine power and even blood are almost comparable to some weak gods.
But the Yanhuang tribe at present not only has a large number of such top warriors, but can also use a strange method to merge the power of hundreds of such warriors together, and even burst out a stronger level of power, so that it condenses into five figures of gods that make them tremble.
Yes, gods.
In the eyes of the beastmen, the five gods that appeared above the blue cloud were five powerful gods that descended from the sky. They could easily change the surrounding environment and kill countless beastmen.
The most elite Yanhuang warriors were like a wedge fixed on the battlefield of Yixianxia. Behind them, warriors from various human tribes also quickly joined the battlefield.
Boom boom boom!
The thunder drums were struck one after another, but this time it was not the warriors of the Yanhuang tribe who actively expended their energy and blood to strike them. Instead, in the Red Emperor's flame, a large number of rules about war were melted into gorgeous dragon seals, which floated down from the void one by one and landed on the thunder drums, actively tempering these nine thunder drums that were born out of human will.
Under the sound of thunder, the confidence of the human warriors doubled, and their own strength was increased by at least 50%!
On the other hand, the Beastmen were frightened by the sound of thunder. Their army, which had little command to begin with, scattered like headless flies. Whenever the humans found an opportunity, they surrounded and killed them one by one!
With the death of a large number of orcs, the balance of war began to tilt because of the warriors. First, the dark red prototype of Kui Shen's kingdom, which covered the entire battlefield, was rapidly completed at a terrifying speed. The dark red light even had a faint sense of luxurious glass, and was about to form a solid space barrier to completely divide the inner and outer battlefields.
The beast gods on the battlefield were terrified. If they really allowed the other side to completely condense a complete kingdom of God and wrap them up in it, then they would have no chance of winning against a third-grade god in a perfect state who had the advantage of time, place and people!
"Raven!"
The beast gods roared one after another, but these roars were urging the most powerful raven among them to take action.
With its wings spread, the raven's eyes were like a black cloud, scarlet. The next moment, the black color spread from the scarlet pupils and directly covered his entire eyes.
Death on the battlefield not only intensifies the war, it also intensifies death even more!
The terrifying crow feathers flew again, and this time they did not distinguish between friend and foe, directly covering the battlefield of ordinary people below, reaping hundreds of lives in an instant. Coupled with the tens of thousands of lives that had died on the battlefield before, the boundary between yin and yang could no longer be closed.
Black cracks dozens of feet long were like daggers, cutting open the curtain on the battlefield, revealing the desolate, cold and lonely underworld that was forever shrouded in gray and white mist.
The violent wind from the underworld blew indiscriminately on the living, causing the human warriors who were fighting bravely to shiver uncontrollably and quickly lose their body temperature and strength in the cold wind.
But the same goes for the orcs on the opposite side!
"Don't be afraid. The beasts in the netherworld will also lose their strength quickly."
The human gods roared loudly, and at the same time, through the connection between themselves and their followers, they transferred more power to their followers.
The beast gods are cold-hearted by nature and do not care about the death of their own followers. Even because of the peacock's promise, even if they lose all their followers, they can still enter the divine court and become subordinate gods of the Phoenix clan. Of course, they don't need to care about the cost of this war. They just need to win the war.
But on the human gods' side, an important prerequisite for closer cooperation and unity among humans is that humans care about the life and death of their companions far more than wild beasts do. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Because the human gods passed on their power to the human warriors to help them resist the invasion of the underworld, but because a large number of beasts had no gods to pass on power, the cold wind of the underworld mercilessly took their lives.
"Quack quack!"
The sharp crow's laughter, accompanied by the cold wind of the Netherworld, echoed in the world of the living. It was both a mockery of the words just spoken by the human gods, and also the pleasure brought by obtaining extremely powerful strength!
The prototype of a kingdom of God emerged in the gray-white cold fog! This prototype of the kingdom of God was composed of countless twisted black iron trees. These iron trees were like natural nests. In the nests, dead crows with scarlet eyes flapped their wings and dropped crow feathers that looked like black snow. When these crow feathers fell to the ground, they immediately awakened tens of thousands of dead spirits.
The kingdom of death, through the cold wind and gray fog that swept in from the Netherworld, in turn enveloped the world of the living, slowing down the trend of the dark red colored glaze kingdom condensed by Kui Shen.
At the same time, on the battlefield, the corpses of animals that had died but not yet completely cooled were also awakened under this reversal of life and death. Although the strength of these awakened corpses was far less than when they were alive, they took advantage of the protection of the cold wind and gray fog of the underworld and fearlessly attacked the surrounding human warriors.
The human warriors were horrified to find that even if they cut off the spines of these corpses and cut off their heads, they would still struggle to attack living things. What was even more terrifying was that in the endless cold fog that came from the underworld, there were invisible ghosts lurking. If they were careless, they would be pounced on by these ghosts, suck their lives, and turn into bones in an instant.
Only by forming a complete battle formation and creating a blood and energy field like the Yanhuang tribe can we repel external forces and effectively prevent the attacks of ghosts.
With this increase and decrease, the casualties of human warriors began to increase, which further strengthened the rule of death.
"You and your people will sleep forever in my kingdom!"
The power of the raven is increasing rapidly. In war, death is closer to the essence, so the condensation of the kingdom of God is also death before the war. As the kingdom of the raven condenses, it in turn affects the condensation of the kingdom of Kui Shen.
Three thousand feet high in the sky, the sea of clouds and the tides formed by the Five Elements' Ancestral Qi continued to surge, and waves of them hit the phantoms of mountains and rivers formed by the divine light on the opposite side, causing the phantoms of mountains and rivers to shake endlessly. At the same time, an infinite sea of clouds gathered, completely blocking the heavy light of morning, making the battlefield below completely dark, which allowed the Raven to reverse the rules of yin and yang so easily.
The peacock flapped its wings and taunted Zhou Tieyi, "It seems that the arrangements you left behind are not enough to protect your tribe."
Zhou Tieyi sneered. Peacock seemed to want to shake his mind and win the battle with him by saying this. However, anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that Peacock wanted to test out more of his methods in order to prepare for snatching that person's inheritance later.
"How can the light of an ant be compared with the sun and the moon! Seventy-two transformations, transform into the moon!"
In the endless mountains and rivers, moon phases appeared, a total of eight, performing the waxing and waning of the moon. At an altitude of more than three thousand feet, there was no cloud cover, and the power of the sun was abundant. With Zhou Tieyi's [Transformation into the Moon] magical power, he directly borrowed the vast and almost endless power of the sun, transforming yin and yang. Strands of clear lunar power fell on the swaying mountains and rivers, making the mountains and rivers more solid and more difficult to be broken by the Five Elements Ancestral Qi.
Even a wisp of Taiyin power can penetrate the Five Elements' ancestral Qi, penetrate the thick clouds, and fall into the battlefield below.
When the clear power of the moon descended from the sky, Wu Mu understood what it meant and no longer hesitated.
"The land of the netherworld is also the country of my Lord, so it is not something a crow like you can gossip about!"
The next moment, a Shinto talisman emerged from Wu Mu's body, and the rules of the underworld gods enveloped his entire body. The Shinto talisman emitted wisps of clear lunar power, like a small bright moon falling from the sky.
Zhou Tieyi had previously thought about using the authority of the mountain god to enter the underworld and take control of the underworld, although he had not yet fully deduced this path.
However, in the past few months, with the help of the inventory of Taixu Illusion, Mohism, and Gongshu School, the netherworld priesthood he obtained was already extremely large, but these were all priesthoods below the third rank and had not undergone any integrated qualitative change.
At this time, these priesthoods that had not undergone any integrated qualitative changes could be directly bestowed upon the warriors of the Yanhuang tribe through Shinto talismans!
With Wu Mu as a demonstration, the warriors in the Yanhuang tribe who were gifted with Shinto talismans no longer hesitated and manifested their own Shinto talismans one by one. They were constantly changing cloud talismans, half real and half virtual. Once they appeared in the real world, they combined with the power of the moon descending from the sky and the wind of decay surging from the underworld, and turned into the real authority of gods.
The authority of one or two middle or lower-level netherworld gods may not be enough to change the cohesion of the third-level kingdom of God, but dozens or hundreds of divine talismans emerged, suddenly like hundreds of small moons, allowing the pure lunar light to cover the entire battlefield without distinction, at least enough to cover the kingdom of God condensed by Kui Shen.
"Reincarnation of life and death is the truth of heaven and earth. You ghosts, why don't you wake up now!"
Wu Mu stretched out his hand and pointed, and the rules of the underworld were woven and manifested with the help of the power of Taiyin. The golden bridge that Zhou Tieyi used to save countless ghosts was also manifested. This golden bridge spanned the worlds of yin and yang, and reorganized the rules of yin and yang being reversed, and life and death being unclear.
The corpses of the dead beasts returned to silence under the light of the moon, and the rules of life and death reappeared. Death in war is real death. There is no resurrection from the dead, and one can only enter the underworld and reincarnation.
This reorganized rule of life and death was naturally an incomparable blow to the evil god like Raven, who believed in disrupting the rules of life and death. He let out a sharp cry, and his crow feathers turned into dark clouds, trying to block out the small bright moons.
But others will not give him another chance!
The flames of war formed a long snake-bone whip, which flew in the air and turned into a giant snake nearly a hundred feet long. The snake head had three eyes, representing "evil", "disaster" and "killing" respectively. This was the corpse of a third-grade god that Kui Shen obtained by chance that year. He smelted it into his own magic weapon and slowly mastered the priesthood of war.
During the entire battle just now, Kuishen used all his strength to condense the kingdom of God in an extremely cold manner, and even made himself appear to have no defense at all, because He put his life and death on the gambling table.
This of course also brought huge benefits. When the balance of war had completely tilted, when the priests of many Yanhuang tribes led by Wu Mu used Shinto talismans to evolve the rules of the underworld and life and death to help him block the erosion of the death rule on the kingdom of God, he instantly seized the energy to enter the third level and completely condensed a complete kingdom of God.
The ferocious fire snake instantly devoured all the beasts that were still holding on along the way, opened its huge mouth, and bit at the raven that was like a dark cloud.
The raven screamed and flapped its wings to try to fly away, but the dark red flames around it turned into a layer of glass-like sky, completely isolating the inner and outer battlefields and leaving all the beast gods here no chance to escape!
