Chapter 1482: – Bitter Experience
Ba Tu stood on the Giant Spirit Treasure Ship with a bitter mood . He had been attacking the Immortal Stage diligently before he was abruptly called over to deal with the Hundred Treasures Realm . This caused his mood to sour .
Ba Tu wasn’t good at dealing with the higher-ups . He has no backing in the Giant Spirit Realm since he came from an ordinary background . But because his talent was very good, he was able to reach his current strength .
Originally, he had quite some popularity among his people . But ever since the higher-ups gave him an idle job, he slowly faded from everyone’s sight .
Ba Tu was currently an Elder . But the rank of elder was divided into various grades and ranks in the Giant Spirit Realm . Ba Tu was just an idle elder with no influence and importance .
The ones holding the true power of the Giant Spirit Realm were the Great Elders . But for someone with an ordinary background like Ba Tu, it was practically impossible to be among them .
A few years ago, Ba Tu’s momentum was very strong . When the Giant Spirit Realm and the Hundred Treasures Realm were in deep conflict, he was able to kill a lot of powerful enemies . He was very popular among the people of the Giant Spirit Realm . If he continued with his current state, he would no doubt enter the ranks of the Great Elders . Otherwise, the people of the Giant Spirit Realm would cause trouble .
Once that conflict sizzled down, the realm gave him a reward and promoted him into an Elder . Ba Tu was very happy at that time . Being an Elder had been a dream for most people . Not only can he obtain resources, he can also cultivate in peace and take care of his family members .
But later on, Ba Tu discovered that he was only given an empty position . The resources he received weren’t that much . Also, he was no longer given any opportunities to gain more merit in the battlefield . His dream of establishing his own clan was shattered .
Ba Tu was no fool, he knew that his post was a plot by some people . But even if he knew, it was already too late .
Ba Tu was aware that he had been played by the higher-ups . He wasn’t strong enough to do anything to them, he wasn’t influential enough either . So the only thing he could do was cultivation and reach the Immortal Stage . As long as he becomes an Immortal Expert, he would become a Great Elder and get more resources . He would then have no problem establishing his own base of power .
Naturally, even if he has an empty status, he was still aware of what happened to the outside world . He knew that the realm was once again in conflict with the Hundred Treasures Realm . Moreover, Ba Li, that clueless idiot, seems to have pushed two subordinate realms into the enemy’s side .
Hearing this information, Ba Tu couldn’t help but feel pleasure from Ba Li’s misfortune . Originally, Ba Tu should have Ba Li’s position, but he was plotted against by the higher-ups . With the higher-ups sending Ba Li, his loss was surely damaging to their reputation .
However, Ba Tu believed that this matter had nothing to do with him . Because of his idle position, he wouldn’t be given any chances to gain merit . Also, Ba Tu didn’t want to fight right now . He was now half-step into the Immortal Stage . It wouldn’t be good for him to fight the Hundred Treasures Realm in this critical moment .
But suddenly, there was news of Ba Li’s great defeat, just a few days after his first one . Ba Li asked the realm for help twice, causing the Giant Spirit Realm to be shaken .
At this time, a transfer order came, appointing Ba Tu as the Chief Commander of the new army . Ba Li has been dismissed! Upon receiving this order, Ba Tu’s first reaction was that it was another plot by the higher-ups to stop him from reaching the Immortal Stage . Those old fogies really aren’t planning to give him any peace .
However, Ba Tu still had to take this order . The entire realm had its eyes on this event . If he doesn’t take the order, then he would be seen as a coward . When the time comes, even if he reaches the Immortal Stage, he still wouldn’t be able to enter the ranks of the Great Elders . Ba Tu knew that this had been arranged by those old fogies . They were indeed ruthless . He would suffer a loss if he accepted the order and would suffer even more if he didn’t . In the end, Ba Tu had to grit his teeth as he took the transfer order and brought reinforcements to the Imperial Spirit Sect .
Although Ba Tu was angered, he was still someone from the Giant Spirit Realm who hated the Hundred Treasures Realm . After reaching the Imperial Spirit Sect, he immediately asked for information . He wanted to know how the battle went . He even asked Ba Li, who he looked down on .
But after seeing Ba Li, Ba Tu’s anger dissipated a bit . This was because Ba Li’s current state was indeed very bad .
Ba Li’s complexion was very pale and he had gotten thin . Moreover, he coughed continuously, sometimes even with blood . Seeing Ba Li, Ba Tu knew that Ba Li’s path forward had ended . He would no longer be able to progress . For a Cultivator, this was the cruelest fate .
Ba Li was also aware of his current situation . His head was now clear . If he can’t progress further, then he might as well use his last bit of strength to help the realm . Therefore, he told Ba Tu everything about the fight . He also added a few of his speculations .
After hearing Ba Li, Ba Tu couldn’t help but frown . He quickly latched on to a key point in Ba Li’s words, someone named Zhao Hai!
Ba Tu also heard about Zhao Hai, but at that time he didn’t care . In his opinion, ascenders weren’t people worth looking into .
However, upon hearing Ba Li, it’s clear that Zhao Hai was someone that was hard to deal with . The large artifacts in Zhao Hai’s hands as well as the needle-shaped artifacts were now in Ba Tu’s mind .
Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time so Ba Tu couldn’t investigate much . Otherwise, he would have confidence in dealing with Zhao Hai and the others .
Ba Tu was no longer the youth that he used to be . He was very clear about the situation of the Giant Spirit Realm . Because of the two losses, as well as the betrayal of the World of Cultivation, the subordinate realms were feeling uneasy . It was due to this knowledge that Ba Tu was eager to attack . He wanted to level the Octopus Islands and gain victory in order to stabilize the state of the Giant Spirit Realm .
Because of this, Ba Tu had to go out and attack immediately . Ba Tu was also afraid that the Hundred Treasures Realm would send a large number of reinforcements . When that time comes, they would be in trouble . The more this matter was dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Giant Spirit Realm .
Ba Tu came out with all the strength he had . He wanted to destroy the Octopus Islands in the shortest time . But he was still angry at those old fogies, thus explaining his current expression .
He never thought that the Hundred Treasures Realm would take the initiative to attack . In his opinion, the Hundred Treasures Realm wouldn’t leave the Octopus Islands . Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent so few reinforcements after the first attack . Ba Tu expected the Hundred Treasures Realm to use the Octopus Islands’ strength in order to block the Giant Spirit Realm . This way, they would be able to humiliate the Giant Spirit Realm .
Just as Ba Tu was thinking about this, a whisper came from beside him . Ba Tu immediately regained his senses . He glanced at the person next to him and then was suddenly attracted to something else .
Ba Tu saw dark spots ahead . But after using his spiritual force, Ba Tu discovered that it was a huge flying artifact . Although it was smaller than a Giant Spirit Treasure Ship, it wasn’t that much smaller .
Most importantly, the flying artifact looked like Zhao Hai’s Hell King’s Ship . To be honest, Ba Tu didn’t like this name .
Seeing the Hell King’s Ship, Ba Tu frowned . He knew what the Hell King’s Ship appearance meant . The Hundred Treasures Realm has taken the initiative to attack .

When he thought of this, Ba Tu immediately said, “Pass the order to everyone, line up!” Someone immediately passed Ba Tu’s order . The people from the Giant Spirit Realm got on the treasure ships while the others formed up behind .
Ba Tu’s army was more disciplined like Ba Li’s . When he first arrived at the base of the Imperial Spirit Sect, he killed a few people from the subordinate realms in order to make everyone obey .
Zhao Hai also spotted Ba Tu and the others . Unlike Zhao Hai who only had one ship, Ba Tu had 2 Giant Spirit Treasure Ships, 30 Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots, and tens of thousands of people . It was very easy to see them from far away .
Mu Yu smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t expect to meet them this soon . Alright, pass the order . Get ready to meet the enemy!” After that, Mu Yu waved his hand as two Giant Spirit Treasure Ships appeared right behind the Hell King’s Ship . After that, the Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots appeared as well . Zhao Hai also handed over 3 Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots .
The Giant Spirit Treasure Ships and the Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots were all behind the Hell King’s Ship . Mu Yu was aware that Ba Tu has two Formation Breaking Spirit Snake Needles in hand .
Along with Mu Yu’s command, people disembarked from the Hell King’s Ship and transferred to the Giant Spirit Treasure Ships . The two sides slowly advanced towards each other .
Ba Tu looked at the other side in apprehension . There had only been the Hell King’s Ship at first but then more artifacts were taken out . After that, tens of thousands of people were seen . Ba Tu didn’t expect the Hundred Treasures Realm to have a lot of troops .
What surprised Ba Tu even more was the fact that two Giant Spirit Treasures Ship appeared along with 20 Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots . Upon seeing these things, Ba Tu’s eyes almost flew out of their sockets .
Only the Giant Spirit Realm possessed the method to make the Giant Spirit Treasure Ships . Even the materials used to make it was a secret, much less its manufacturing method . Even more, the Hundred Treasures Realm wasn’t good at making large artifacts .
How could Ba Tu just accept the Hundred Treasures Realm releasing so many large artifacts . There’s even the unique large artifact of the Giant Spirit Realm .

While Ba Tu was still surprised by the Giant Spirit Treasure Ships that Mu Yu took out, the two sides got closer to each other . Ba Tu got back to his senses as he looked at Mu Yu who was standing on top of the Hell King’s Ship .
Ba Tu didn’t wait for Mu Yu to speak, he coldly snorted and said, “Mu Yu, I didn’t expect the cowards of the Hundred Treasures Realm to actually come out and fight . This is rare, rare . ”
Mu Yu looked at Ba Tu, then he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect the Giant Spirit Realm to be this stupid . You’re already defeated twice, yet here you are planning another attack . It just saves us more time . Ba Tu, I didn’t expect someone like you to come out again . It seems like the Giant Spirit Realm has nobody else left to send . ”
Ba Tu coldly snorted and said, “Enough talking . Mu Yu, I’ll make you meet your wife’s Master today . ”
Hearing Ba Tu, Mu Yu’s complexion changed . He coldly snorted and said, “It depends if you have the skill . I really want to thank the Giant Spirit Realm for giving us Giant Spirit Treasure Ships and Eight Cyan Imperial Chariots . Ba Tu, good news, the Giant Spirit Realm aren’t the only ones that have Giant Spirit Treasure Ships . The Hundred Treasures Realm can now refine them . It’s good news right? Hahaha . ”
When Ba Tu heard Mu Yu, his expression changed . But he soon calmed down as he coldly snorted and said, “A mere bluff . If our Giant Spirit Treasure Ship is that easy to imitate, then the Hundred Treasures Realm wouldn’t be the ones making them . Mu Yu, you have killed my people, today I’ll enact their revenge!”
Mu Yu laughed and said, “Ba Tu, what are you so confident about? I thought we’re finished talking? Later you will find that these Giant Spirit Treasure Ships are the same treasure ships that your realm has . ”
Ba Li coldly snorted before waving his hand . The troops slowly drew back, obviously wanting to get a certain distance before charging . Unfortunately for them, Zhao Hai wouldn’t give them this opportunity . As Ba Tu and the others retreated, Zhao Hai’s Hell King’s Ship began its charge .
Ba Tu was startled . He expected that since the Hundred Treasures Realm has large ship artifacts, then they would also retreat before charging . He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to actually make his ship charge immediately .
Seeing this, Ba Tu’s eyes flashed a grim light . He waved his hand as a Formation Breaking Spirit Snake Needle appeared in his hand . Then he howled as he sent the needle over towards the Hell King’s Ship .
Ba Tu just howled but didn’t increase his imposing aura . His howl was a command to the people behind him to input their energy into the spirit snake needles . This way, the needle can exert its greatest offensive power .
This was arranged by Ba Tu before they set off . He created two thousand-man teams from the Giant Spirit Realm . These thousand-man teams wouldn’t do anything else other than concentrating their energy into the spirit snake needles the moment Ba Tu gave the signal .
