Chapter 560 – Blue Tide
Translated by: Berrrybunz

Xiao Yu carefully covered his brother in the blanket with reddened eyes.
"He's alright, right." Tang Tian asked Xiao Yu with concern, no matter how dumb he was, he could tell that Xiao Yu had met trouble. However, what made him surprised was that Xiao Yu seemed to be good at medical treatment, he crushed a few unknown ingredients into powder and mixed them in water, and fed it to his brother.
"If he gets past the next few days, he will survive." Xiao Yu's voice was hoarse, his eyes red.
"What happened?" Tang Tian patted his chest: "If you need help in anything, just tell me."
"Thank you Big Brother Meng Nan!" Xiao Yu said gratefully, he took a glance at his brother on the bed. The young and tender face revealed a maturity that did not match his age, he shook his head: "the wound on brother, was left by Blue Dwarves. I had asked them before, whether or not they went to a Blue Marsh, if not, how would they meet with Blue Dwarves? I am beginning to suspect if the Blue Tide is about to begin?"
"Blue Dwarves!" Tang Tian's eyes lit up with light auras, he was very quickly attracted to the other phrase Xiao Yu said: "Blue Tide?"
"Yes." Xiao Yu's face was filled with worry: "The Blue Dwarves' reproduction ability is extremely scary. Legend says that their hometown used to be in the void, but through a crack in the void, they managed to enter into the various continents. The land occupied by the Blue Dwarves would become Blue Marshes. After a period of time, when the Blue Dwarves reached a high population through reproduction, the rapidly expanding Blue Dwarves would have no choice but to expand outwards. They would charge out from the Blue Marshes, devouring and taking over the continents. That is the Blue Tide."
So the main place where the Blue Dwarves reside from is in the void, Tang Tian looked pensive.
If Blue Marshes had cracks that allowed them to come from the void, then does it mean that through the Blue Marshes, they could fight their way to the Blue Dwarves main base??
Tang Tian guessed that little Xu Xu and the rest may very possibly be in the hands of the Blue Dwarves.
He was about to ask where the nearest Blue Marsh was, when suddenly a burst of disturbance sounded out from the outside, it was a scream brimming with fear that shook their eardrums.
"Blue Dwarves!"
"Oh my God, Blue Dwarves!"
Xiao Yu's expression changed, Tang Tian scooped him up and rushed outside.
When he jumped onto the fence of the village, he looked at the scene beyond, and could not help but inhale in a cold breath. At the end of the vast and desolate black riverbed, a blue line, was advancing towards the village! The extremely straight blue line, was densely packed, it was a vast number of Blue Dwarves.
Xiao Yu's face was pale and his entire body shivered.
All the faces of the villagers were pale and filled with fear.
We need to escape!
Xiao Yu Turned, he wanted to remind Tang Tian to escape quickly, but when he saw that Big Brother Meng Nan's expression, he was startled. Big Brother Meng Nan's face was malevolent, cruel and bloodthirsty, he was mumbling softly to himself, but the killing intent hidden within the words, overwhelmed him.
"That's great, I was just about to find you guys……"
Tang Tian's delirious ravings, made Xiao Yu feel that Big Brother Meng Nan definitely had a deep hatred towards the Blue Dwarves.
In Heaven's Road, it was called the Blue Sea, in the Sacred Saint Galaxy, it was called the Blue Tide, no matter where it was, when a scene like that appears in front of your eyes, it meant death, it represented a thousand miles of bloodied earth!
But inside Tang TIan's flushed red eyes, it would only make him think about the battle inside the Sea of Blue Light, it reminded him about his lost companions, it made his heart boil with killing intent.
"Let's go, Uncle Bing!"
Xiao Yu heard Big Brother Meng Nan speak to air, and froze.
Suddenly, his vision became shaded as an enormous shadow overshadowed his frail figure, a large exquisite and weird metal giant, had appeared in front of him.
"A Giant Machine!" Xiao Yu said, happiness surfaced on his face, not only him, the gaze of the other villagers towards Tang Tian immediately became different.
Everyone was stunned by the beauty and exquisite outer appearance of Sky Tiger, and no one noticed Ya Ya on Sky Tiger's forehead.
Ya Ya stood on the head of Sky Tiger, looking around with longing in it's eyes. How very mighty.
After fighting in so many battles and wars, although the current Tang Tian could not be hailed as a famous general, but he was absolutely not a rookie. Although the Blue Dwarves were menacing and fierce, their morale flourishing, their current charge was simply seeking death..
"Prepare for defense!" Tang Tian jumped onto the highest building, he shouted at the bewildered villagers: "those who do not wish to die, all gather around me!"
Tang Tian was not the least bit courteous, his tone was authoritative, as though he had become the leader of the village, standing at the tallest roof in the village, bossing people around.
There were still hesitations lingering around the faces of the villagers, but they subconsciously gathered in front of Tang Tian. With Sky Tiger floating beside Tang Tian, it made many of them secretly guess that Tang Tian was definitely a big shot in a big city.
There were not many people in the village, with only a population of 146, but what made Tang Tian feel calm in his heart was that these people were actually all saints
Although their aura was not as strong as saints from Heaven's Road, Tang Tian would never get the scent of saints wrongly. He had some suspicions, although they were all saints, but the saints in Sacred Saint Galaxy were obviously not the same as the saints in Heaven's Road.
However, he could not care much about all these at the moment, Tang Tian spoke to Bing: "Uncle Bing, you set the defence."
"Alright!" Bing did not decline, instead he started to arrange the defence. Previously when he sensed that Tang Tian was injured, it almost caused his heart to jump to his throat, but Tang Tian had fainted, and he could not come out.
He was always on standby, and thus filled with regret. As an outstanding military general, he was even more capable at looking ahead.
Crazy Tang was their true foundation, as long as Crazy Tang was safe, then no matter what problem they faced, they would always have a chance at winning. Even if Crazy Tang had any problems, then to the Southern Cross Army, or Ursa Major Constellation too, they would all be struck with a catastrophe.
Hence when he heard Tang Tian summoning him out, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Wars were not a cause of concern to him, he had experienced too many of them. No matter how cruel the war, to what he saw, even if they were not victorious, protecting the safety of Tang Tian was not a problem.
But if he was not beside Tang Tian, if Tang Tian met danger……
Unknowingly, the crazy teenager already became the leader of the entire team, his status was irreplaceable by anyone.
When a veteran makes a move, it would be clear whether or not he was an expert. Bing speedily formed a defensive perimeter according to the defense of the village. The villagers saw hope, each one of them increased in enthusiasm.
After Bing's defense was laid out, no where was safer than inside the village, and if one broke away from the big troops, the chances of him surviving would be very low.
"Big Brother Meng Nan, your giant machine is so powerful! Is it a general?" Xiao Yu looked at Sky Tiger, his face full of surprise.
"Yes, he is a famous general." Tang Tian was pleased, Bing was definitely a famous general.
"Is he [Fire Walker]? Or [Aguston]" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, but he directly shook his head and spoke to himself: "No that's wrong, [Fire Walker] is red, [Aguston] is grey."
Tang Tian was confused listening to him. What Fire Walker or Aguston, however, he noticed another thing. Unlike the rest, only Xiao Yu was not a saint.
"Xiao Yu, you seem to be different from them." Tang Tian hesitated, but still asked.
"Yes, I did not have a Saint Domain since I was born, and I don't know why." Xiao Yu said honestly, but his eyes still flashed a trace of sadness.
He quickly lifted his chest and said proudly: "But I know many many things."
He took out a red grass sword and gave to Tang Tian: "Big Brother Meng Nan, I'll give you a grass sword, this is a weapon I refined."
Grass Sword?
Tang Tian took the red grass sword in curiosity, the grass swords were formed by interweaving the Red Reed Sword Grass, it was warm to the touch.
A soft and tender hand snatched the grass sword from his hands.
Little Fool who just woke from his sleep, his little face was deep and serious.
"Big Brother Meng Nan! Is this a spirit……" Xiao Yu was excited, he was incoherent in speech.
Tang Tian wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Little Fool "That's right."
Xiao Yu's had an embarrassed expression on his face, he felt that he was really displaying his skills in front of an expert, it was just a crude grass sword, in front of these big shots, was not worth to mention.
Little Fool held the grass sword, he suddenly straightened it to the front.
Whoosh!
The red light beam, swiftly passed in front of Tang Tian's eyes in a flash.
The light beam shot through the walls of the house, leaving three finger sized holes, and pierced through the entire house. Luckily the house was empty, if not it would have been dangerous.
Tang Tian was excited and moved, he could clearly feel the sharp Sword Concept from the dim red light.
(TN: Decided to change sword intent to sword concept, concept sounds more apt for sure.)
Little Fool spoke to himself: "Using the sword concept accumulated in your own body, the thought is good, it is a pity that your methods are too rough, without passing through flames for refinement, there are too many impurities inside, and the power released is too weak……"
Xiao Yu heard Little Fool's words and his face flushed red.
But very quickly, he arranged his mentality upright, he knew it was a rare chance, he properly bowed to Little Fool: "Please give me more advice."
"Ingredient." Little Fool said coldly.
Xiao Yu was extremely happy, he quickly took out the Red Reed Gith that he dug.
Little Fool called out the Honorable Martial Crown, the Honorable Martial Flame wrapped around the Red Reed Sword Grass, and burned quietly for seven to eight minutes. The Red Reed Gith that had width of a finger became half as thick, and its texture also became extremely soft. It was now translucent and glossy making it look extremely beautiful, the originally dull sword concept, also became more obvious, revealing it's sharpness.
Little Fool refined another two strands, then begun to weave them together, his actions were very slow, so slow that Xiao Yu could see clearly. Xiao Yu knew the other party was teaching and guiding him, so he memorized everything in his heart.
After two minutes, a three inch long, exquisite and pure, blood ceramic glazed grass sword, appeared in front of everyone.
When Little Fool finished the last knot, the sword concept suddenly congealed, the sword blade slowly left the ground and floated in mid air.
Xiao Yu's face was in reverence and admiration, he had weaved countless grass swords before, but not one of them could compare to this grass sword.
"A gift for you." Little Fool waved his hands, the sword blade dropped in Xiao Yu's hands.
It was as if Xiao Yu had obtained a treasure, he kowtowed heavily thrice: "Thank you senior!"
Little Fool said indifferently: "You do not have a saint domain, and this flame is not easy to control, however, it is not like there are no ways about it. I need some time to think, go and enlighten from the harvest."
"Yes, Senior!" Xiao Yu was filled with pious, he left carrying the grass sword, and the villagers along the way, all looked at Xiao Yu with faces full of envy.
Both his hands clasped together, the red grass sword floating in his palms, emitted a pure essence of sword concept.
Tang Tian looked at Little Fool with a weird face, he said softly: "hey Little Fool, what are you doing? Acting like a senior? It's not like you."
Ever since he knew Little Fool was his alter ego, Tang Tian naturally assumed that Little Fool was evil and dark.
Little Fool glanced at Tang Tian and said: "This Sacred Saint Galaxy is weird."

"Weird? What's weird?" Tang Tian asked curiously.
"The energy of this Sacred Saint Galaxy, is more concentrated than Heavens Road. However it is very weird, the ingredients here do not have spirits. In Heavens Road, as long as anything has a bit of energy, it would very easily have spirits. Although many martial spirits are cheap, but martial spirits are the most common things. There are martial spirits in treasures, martial spirits in martial artists, even those expensive ingredients all contain the fragments of the martial spirits. However I do not see martial spirits in everything here."
Little Fool's voice was high pitched and childish, but Tang Tian was filled with shock, he said to himself: "How could there be no martial spirits?"
"Like this Red Reed Pith Marrow, the energy it contains is very pure, something rarely seen on Heavens Road. We used to say energy births spirits, so at a place with rich energy, it should be easy to birth martial spirits. However, this Sacred Saint Galaxy is different, this Red Reed Pith Marrow doesn't even have a bit of a martial spirit, not even a fragment. Furthermore, the most peculiar thing is, it actually contains sword concept inside. I have never heard of any plants that would contain sword concept inside."
"That's really interesting." Tang Tian's eyes glistened, he suddenly thought of a question: "Then if we were to move these things over to Heavens Road, would we become rich?"
Little Fool looked at Tang Tian, speechless.
Tang Tian noticed Little Fool's gaze was different, he felt weird: "Little Fool, what is the meaning of your expression?"
Little Fool's tone was filled with rage: "Where is your Qian Hui? Your dreams? Your journey? How can you just think of star coins? Your ambition? Your foresight? Your structure? Are you a businessman? Please! You are now an Overlord! Thinking of such low level things the whole day, such goalless things, such miser matters, is simply beneath your status now!"
Tang Tian's face was filled with innocence: "Don't you feel that earning money is a very capable thing?"
Little Fool was already completely lost for words, Alright, what am I thinking, to actually be discussing such a profound question with this fool, my mind is the one going crazy.
Finally, Little Fool said helplessly: "Are you not worried about the Blue Dwarves?"
"Worry?" Tang Tian smiled, his snowy white teeth revealed deep fierce teeth like a wild beast, a gush of blood-thirsty and vicious breath came head on: "My worry is that I can't find them!"
Little Fool was stunned.
Tang Tian rose to leave, leaving behind an austere figure.
In fact, not only Little Fool realized the difference between Sacred Saint Galaxy and Heavens Road, the experienced and careful Bing, also quickly felt the difference. However, Bing's study targets were the villagers, to deploy the defense better, he needed to understand deeper about the villager's strength.
"How is it?" Tang Tian asked Bing.
Bing's complexion was stagnant: "It's not as good as imagined. The people here, although they are naturally born as saints, they do not have spirit domains."
"No spirit domains?" Tang Tian was shocked, without spirit domains, how did they become saints?
"Yes, our spirit domains, are formed from the martial spirit, it allows for energy transfer and can operate separately from the restrictions of the meridians, hence able to more directly imitate the world's laws. But they don't even have meridians, Their bodies are like giant vessels, able to directly contain energy. Being born in such a situation, they are much more intimate with energy as compared to the martial artists of Heavens Road. They don't even need meridians to absorb and refine energy, the way they use energy is like saints."
Bing noticed Tang Tian's astonished look, he laughed bitterly: "It is weird, but that's the truth, I checked their bodies, they are all like that. But, their saints are much weaker than ours."
"Why?" Tang Tian was flabbergasted.
Bing explained: "Immediately after being birthed, they can directly move the energy. They completely do not need to worry about their amount of energy, as they naturally contain a lot of it, to replenish it is also very convenient, so this also makes them completely unaware of considerations towards the efficiency of using energy. Their offense to efficiency ratio is extremely weak. Our spirit techniques, built upon and expanded from layers after layers of martial techniques, so we are even more proficient in using less energy, to achieve satisfying results. However, they are completely wasting energy, i have never seen any martial artists with such lousy usage of energy before."
Tang Tian's mouth was wide opened, he was flabbergasted, the situation of the Sacred Saint Galaxy, completely capsized his own knowledge.
"Hence, best if you do not carry any hope towards their battle capabilities." Bing said helplessly.
"It shouldn't be that bad right? They are afterall still saints." Tang Tian was shocked by Bing's conclusion, he hoped to hold on to this wave of offensive, then counterattack by killing into the Blue Tide, straight into Hell.
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Bing was finally happy: "haha, I managed to finally scare you. Although their attacks are very wasteful, but to control energy is simply instinctive, and every single one of them is like a human energy wrap, simply prepared for an exceptionally famous general like me."
"Are you guys really thinking of fighting your way into the void?" Little Fool floated over: "Do you guys feel that just relying on the few of us, we can contend against the entire race of Blue Dwarves?"
Little Fool's words were meant for Bing, the fool is a lunatic, who can do the most absurd of things, but Bing was an outstanding military general, at key moments, his mind would always remain calm.
"Of course!" Tang Tian was soaring with fighting intent: "Crane, Little Xu Xu and I have martial spirit contracts, they are not dead! They are definitely waiting for us to save them!"
His tone was resolute and decisive.
Little Fool looked at Sky Tiger.
It was a moment of silence, and then the deep voice came from inside Sky Tiger: "Ten thousand years ago, I left my friends in battle, and they all died, I am still alive, and I have regretted that for countless years. So I told myself, if another situation like that arose, I would absolutely not repeat the same mistake."
"Even if you are to die?" Little Fool raised his eyebrows.
Bing's laughter soared out from Sky Tiger: "I am a military general, there is no better grave for a military general than the battleground. People live, people die, people win, and others fail, you are still you, what you live for, what you die for, everything is in your heart."
"This really……. Makes me helpless." Little Fool looked coldly at these two fools, he was lazy to advise them anymore, anyway the leadership role was not with him.
"If you want to go against the Blue Dwarves." Little Fool took out an item and threw it to Tang Tian: "This type of weapon is more convenient."
Tang Tian took it, the chains were thick as an arm, and at the ends of the chains, were 2 bronze hammer like balls were covered with spikes, it an odd weapon.
[DeAndreR: I imagine something like this (https://cdn.heavencostumes.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/t/f/tf-n44196-aged-silver-maces-on-a-chain-medieval-costume-accessory-1200.jpg)
"This is awesome!"
Tang Tian's eye glistened, he opened the chain, which had a length that was about 10 meters long, the bronze hammer like balls were as big as millstones, and were oddly heavy. Every three inches intertwined was a dagger, once he shook it open, it moved just like a centipede. Such a fierce weapon, was intimidating at first glance, it made people's scalps go numb.
"I'm lazy to give it a name, let's call it [Weighted Centipede]. The bronze hammers are star treasures from Mensa Constellation,they are silver rank and called the [Mountain Breaking Hammers]. It is just an ordinary tool, it's only advantage being very heavy. All these daggers are found in every constellation, they are very low ranked, and all have different attributes. I feel that this weapon is relatively good against the Blue Dwarves. The Weighted Centipede requires an immense amount of strength to utilize it, but I believe that you have this strength."
Little Fool introduced the weapon indifferently.
Tang Tian was unable to contain his joy, it had to be said, such a weapon was indeed extremely suitable to defeat the Blue Dwarves. The Blue Dwarves had huge numbers with small statures, they were more resilient towards energy, but their bodies were fragile.
Regarding the strength, Tang Tian felt he had strength that he could never use up!
He so greatly wished to rush into the Blue Dwarves and slaughter all of them instantly.
"What a great weapon!" Bing could not help but give praise, Blue Dwarves were thin in figure, while his mechanical spirit weapon was huge, he could use his fists to smite the ants. This centipede hammer was like a huge comb, so it was imaginable that upon expanding it out, the scene would definitely be filled with blue flesh flying everywhere.
He suddenly felt something, he turned to look, in his eyes, the Blue Tide already passed the defensive perimeter.
"Prepare for battle!"
He shouted loudly, flying to the sky.
The villagers below flew into an uproar, they were arranged on roofs and walls, it was an irregular arrangement yet looked outstanding, every person's position was calculated after fine arrangements. It was a pity that these villagers were all rookies, however it was a good thing that although they were not outstanding warriors, but many were qualified hunters.
The Shang System was secluded, so the Red Grass Village was even more secluded. The environment for survival was atrocious and the village mostly relied on hunting and harvesting to survive.
"Take note of your own position, and don't move from there."
Bing threw a glance at the Blue Tide, the enemy had already entered their 10 km range. Although the villagers did their best to contain themselves, Bing could still see the fear on their faces.
Bing understood rookies very well, and truthfully, under such an intense battle, rookies did not have any place to survive. However, he only had them to rely on, and did not have much of a choice.
A battle from a distance became the only choice.
Once the Blue Dwarves came close, these villagers would definitely break down.
Within Sky Tiger, Bing quietly shook his head, following Crazy Tang, he seemed to have never fought a battle that he truly enjoyed, and every battle would end up being sullen.
Rookies, Rookies, Rookies, every time they were rookies, could it be fate, since he was an instructor for rookies? It was worse this time, at least the rookies had completed training, these villagers did not even have the most basic common sense.
When will the time come, for me to lead an unrivalled army myself, to kill in all directions…..
Thinking to back then……
Alright, I still have to think more realistically, No, as a spirit general, I have to be more realistic.
Looking at the Blue Tide in the distance, Bing took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly became very sharp, he raised his arms up and shouted: "remember what I said just now? Come, let us give it a try!"
"Ready!"
Bing gave his order.
The villagers in their respective positions, all lit up with different colorful bright light auras. Every corner of the village was lit up with light spheres.
The strong fluctuation of energy, made Tang Tian raise his eyebrows.
So what if these villagers had no spirit domain, they could generate such strong energy fluctuations, it was so shockingly strong. In terms of the intensity of energy, the saints from Heavens Road would absolutely not be able to keep up.
"Very good, just like that! Make sure to take note of the dispersal of energy, it must be well distributed, it is very easy." Bing encouraged the rookies loudly, followed by saying: "take note of my command."
"1, 2……3!"
Every light sphere shot out a light beam, all flying towards Sky Tiger who was in the sky. Looking down from the sky, hundreds of colourful light beam, gathered on the body of Sky Tiger at the same time, it was magnificent.
At the moment when the energy all converged, Bing's expression changed!
Not Good! I gambled too much!
