Shi Yan was in Grace Mainland. His soul checked around to see all the commotions in every small corner of the continent. He found many old monsters of Heavenly Monster Tribe weren't here, not even Xia Xin Yan and Zi Yao.
Recalling what DeCarlos had said, he realized something. He guessed the others had gone to join the war. "Yeah, it's begun," Azure Dragon looked grave. He pondered for a while and then waved his hand, "Follow me."
His body flashed and he reappeared on Heavenly Monster Mountain Range. His hand wiped over an abandoned lake in the valley. It looked like a roll of a picture was slowly unveiled.
The surrounding mountains suddenly became transparent and projected the dazzling lights shining on the lake.
Some images that were from different star areas appeared on the lake. A war happened on those star areas. Many battleships were flying fast. The warriors were engaged in fierce battles.
While Azure Dragon changed his power Upanishad, the moving images in the lake became clearer. Shi Yan could even see the faces of the warriors.
He counted and found twelves sections showing images on the lake that were from the twelve star areas. The warriors of Heavenly Monster Tribe, Bloodthirsty Force, Thousand Fantasy Sect, Broken Hall, and Heaven River Temple were seen there too. And of course, their targets were the warriors of the God Clan.
To be exact, they had aimed at the forces of the God Clan's twelve families!
Shi Yan saw many familiar faces. Leona, Yang Tian Emperor, Fei Lan, Ka Tuo, and Benny were there. He also saw Cang Yun of Heavenly Monster Tribe and his fellows with the experts of Thousand Fantasy Sect. Their opponents were all God Clan's experts.
Many battleships were moving and firing. Different energies exploded. The soul altar shattered, turning into small light dots and scattering.
The battles were so fierce. While Shi Yan was in Grace Mainland, the entire universe was engaging in a stormy war.
"Currently, they have battles in the twelve star areas. It's not at Ancient God Star Area of the God Clan. They are the star areas that the God Clan families have invaded or are about to invade. The twelve families of the God Clan are in a war. However, the Immortal Realm experts have a tacit understanding that they won't join the battles over there. Because with only one Immortal Realm expert, it is enough to change the general situation of an entire star area."
"Besides Imperial Dark Tribe who remains neutral and indifferent, all the other clans and forces have joined this war. Xuan He has called for our Heavenly Monster Tribe and the Immortal Demon Clan. Thousand Fantasy Sect, Broken Hall, Heaven River Temple, and even Prosaic Star Area, Hollow Fearsome Star Area, and many small forces are with the Bloodthirsty Force in this war.
"Ming Hao is indeed powerful. Although he has just revealed some forces he controls, it's already incredible."
"...."
With a heavy complexion, Azure Dragon pointed at the moving images on the lake and explained to Shi Yan the current situation of the cosmos.
Shi Yan's face turned dark and cold as he was observing the fierce battles in each star area.
Ming Hao had cultivated Soul Control power Upanishad. In the past ten thousand years, he had discreetly enslaved the souls of many experts at a high position and levels like Mu Wei, Bai Ye Feng, and Bello. In this vast universe, some forces that had disappeared for a long time suddenly reappeared in this war. The leaders of those forces had a blood mark on their forehead that terrified others.
Taking Randolph, the Chief of the Dark Force, for example, he was a member of the Charteris family of the God Clan.
This time, Randolph appeared as the Cult Master of the Dark Nether God Cult. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Dark Nether God Cult used to be very powerful. However, their dark techniques were too evil. They had even sacrificed living beings to increase their own power. Many forces had joined hands to destroy this cult.
Everybody thought that the Dark Nether God Cult had been obliterated. However, this time, Randolph reappeared with many former disciples of the old Dark Nether God Cult. They worshiped him as their God and they were really extreme as if they weren't afraid of death.
There were many forces that were similar to the Dark Nether God Cult. They should have extinguished a long time ago.
However, when the Bloodthirsty Force and the God Clan announced a war, they bizarrely reappeared and all of the leaders were Ming Hao's loyal subordinates. Those forces weren't weak. They were even stronger than the Wu family or the Jiao family. Their participation had frightened the entire sea of stars.
Everybody knew this war had just begun.
It meant that Ming Hao hadn't mobilized all of his forces yet. It meant that Ming Hao still had more powerful cards. This had weighed the warriors' hearts down.
Ming Hao's fierceness was revealed. The warriors who knew about the Soul Control power Upanishad became cautious. They began to doubt their loyal subordinates who Ming Hao could summon in any minute.
"Who has gained the upper hand now?" Shi Yan lifted his head and asked Azure Dragon.
Azure Dragon wore a bitter face, but his voice calm. "The God Clan has shown their outstanding power in every aspect. If the war continues this way, they will win eventually!"
Shi Yan was surprised. "Why is that?"
"You should come and see one of the battles there." Azure Dragon rose one finger and a section on the lake surface was zoomed close-up. It was a melee between the God Clan, Wu family, the Jiao family, and Heavenly Monster Tribe.
The members of the God Clan had a battleship made of the most precious and powerful materials. Each of them had excellent armor and weapons with the magical panacea. In every battle, they had cooperated closely and smoothly with their troopers and created excellent formations.
The Wu family, the Jiao family, and Heavenly Monster Tribe couldn't have such powerful armor and supplies.
"In the past ten thousand years, the God Clan has continuously invaded the major star areas and enslaved them. They have robbed countless materials from other star areas to train their warriors. Their warriors have joined battles all the time. They are all experienced. At the same time, their armor, weapons, medicines, battleships and even morale are higher and better than the others. If the Bloodthirsty Force didn't have more people, we would have been defeated right from the start.
"This period of ten thousand years has fattened the God Clan. With the aid from weapons and medicines, a King God Realm warrior of the God Clan can resist against two warriors on our side." Azure Dragon took a deep breath and then said, "When they join to make the formation, their advantages become clearer. The invincible reputation of the God Clan wasn't just in vain."
What Holy Beast Azure Dragon had said and the images Shi Yan had observed had doubled the pressure on his shoulder.
He knew that the God Clan was powerful. But after they had actually engaged in the war, Shi Yan deeply understood how powerful they were. Although his side had many forces supported from everywhere, it couldn't gain the upper hand. It showed to what level the God Clan had reached after ten thousand years of accumulation.
"If we keep continuing this way, the God Clan will have a higher chance to win." Azure Dragon sighed again. "The God Clan has the God Lord, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Feng Jue of the Elders Committee. They are all at the Immortal Realm. The twelve families have so many Incipient God Realm experts too. If the God Clan's reproduction wasn't that much weaker than Human Clan, they could have conquered this whole world in ten thousand years."
"Are you saying that we don't have any chance to win this war?" Shi Yan knitted his brows.
"No. We still have you. You are the biggest variable," Azure Dragon's eyes shot out a fierce light. "You're Bloodthirsty's successor. You can overturn the general picture. I believe you can do that!"
"But Xuan He, Ming Hao, and Frederick couldn't overturn it. How could I do that?" Shi Yan was astounded.
"Because they aren't Bloodthirsty's heir. They can't, but you can!" shouted Azure Dragon.
"I wish to hear the details," Shi Yan honestly asked for guidance.
"You understand Devouring power Upanishad. It not only strengthens yourself but also increases the power of the warriors with the blood mark. In a battle, you can use the Devouring power to take in energy from the enemies and transmit it to the Bloodthirsty's retinue. Your subordinates' energy will rocket instantly. You'll have super warriors with profound realms and abundant energy, which can make up for all their flaws!" said Azure Dragon.
"That year, the God Clan and the forces around the sea of stars had attacked the Bloodthirsty Force. Their first target was Bloodthirsty. As long as he lived, the eight chiefs could increase their power unceasingly. Once they got hurt, Bloodthirsty killed the God warriors to devour their energy and send it to the wounded warriors to heal them rapidly. It was the most terrifying feature of the Bloodthirsty Force.
"God Perishing Land of the God Clan took reference from the Devouring power Upanishad. It developed similar characteristics as the Devouring power Upanishad. They used the Dark Prison Demonic Flower to absorb the blood and flesh from victims to create a place to heal the God warriors. Compared to the real Devouring power Upanishad, the God Perishing Land isn't really sufficient. If you can master the Devouring power Upanishad, you can definitely change the situation!"
Azure Dragon understood the special abilities of the Bloodthirsty Force. Shi Yan got it immediately after listening to Azure Dragon.
He remembered that he had used the Devouring power Upanishad to pour the energy into Fei Lan, Leona, and Ka Tuo through the mark on their forehead.
He recognized that Azure Dragon's suggestion was subtle and profound.
It was true. Xuan He, Ming Hao, and Frederick couldn't change this overall situation. But he could!
It was because he was the Bloodthirsty Force's Master's successor. He used Devouring power Upanishad!
"Are you sure that the Immortal Realm expert won't join the war for now?" He was startled all of a sudden.
"It's a tacit agreement," Azure Dragon nodded.
If the God Clan doesn't want to destroy many star areas, they will follow this agreement. It won't change anytime soon at least."
Shi Yan grinned and asked, "Where's the closest battlefield?"
"Fiery Rain Star Area." Azure Dragon understood him. "They're in a dangerous situation. If you go there and help them win the battle, the warriors of Fiery Rain Star Area will have their power rocket because of you. You can make your debut there."
"Who has joined that battlefield?" asked Shi Yan.
"Benny and Ka Tuo with the warriors of Agate Star Area. You should start to change the situation of this war from there," answered Azure Dragon.
Shi Yan nodded and then turned away.
Right at this moment, Azure Dragon called after him. "Take Ghost Hunter with you. I've restricted him for a long time. He should go out and get some fresh air."
"Okay."
