“Kill!”

“Kill all of them, and don’t spare anyone.”

....

When both sides were deadlocked, a large group of soldiers donned in scarlet armor rushed from the outside of the valley. This group surrounded the enemies clad in black armor and attacked them fiercely. This group had around 20,000 people, and most of them possessed power at the God-Level. They were all just Low-Level Deities, but they had a great numerical advantage, and they released great power upon launching joint attacks.

Thousands upon thousands of God-Level Experts fought jointly, and just their sharp Sword Energy alone was able to slice the mountain top. Innumerable magical attacks rained here, and they gave rise to beautiful sparks upon colliding with the enemies’ Magical Shields

As one side gained more forces and the other side lost forces, the soldiers in black armor retreated repeatedly in defeat. Many soldiers were hacked into pieces, and some souls were even extinguished on the spot. But this still wasn’t the end of their disaster.

Roar!

As a stunning roar echoed out, a group of Giant Dragons flew from the horizon suddenly and released deadly dragon flames that filled the whole sky. They also bared their fangs, brandished their claws, and took the enemies into mid-air before they tore them into shreds.

“Retreat, hurry up!”

“It’s the Dragon Cavalry, the Giant Dragon Lord’s Dragon Cavalry has come over. Retreat quickly!”

...

Upon suffering the opposite side’s violent attacks, the soldiers in black armor’s formation descended into a mess, and they retreated quickly. This defeated army collapsed, and they dispersed in confusion.

Dragon Cavalry?

Yang Ling looked in surprise at the Giant Dragons hovering in the air, who hunted down the soldiers in black armor. Currently, most of the God-Level Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Army were Dark Dragons, Twin-legged Flying Dragons, and Horned Dragons. But their number reached just 300. He didn’t expect that 500 God-Level Giant Dragons would appear in the valley.

Could it be that there was an Apex Summoner or an Ancient Summoner in the vicinity?

Yang Ling furrowed his brows and beckoned at the Corpse Wizard King with his hand. “Rodriguez, go down the mountain with several people and capture people for me. But you mustn’t alert both sides’ armies, and don’t expose our trails.”

A large number of God-Level Experts assembled in the valley, but most of them had just a Low-Level Deity’s power, and even a thousand of them wouldn’t be a match for the Corpse Wizard King and his companions. In addition, they still had the Golden Roc with a Wandering Divine Beast’s power. But Yang Ling didn’t dare to take this carelessly despite this.

If they exposed their trails without clear info about the situation and antagonized a hostile family with large influence, then they would bring ruin upon themselves. If they weren’t careful, they would be annihilated.

“Hehehe. Lord, you can set your mind at ease. If I wasn’t worried about exposing our tracks, then it wouldn’t be difficult for me to bring back even several female dragons.”

The Corpse Wizard King was as evil as usual and laughed loudly before he left with the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and other people. Those few people disappeared among a boundless forest, and they used the forest as a cover to sneak into the battlefield’s vicinity. They quickly set their eyes on two soldiers in scarlet armor that ventured into the forest to hunt down enemies.

“Brother Elixino, this place is too far from the valley. Let’s go back.” A short soldier looked at the boundless forest and stopped warily. The armor worn by him was covered with tears, and his eyes flickered like lightning. His body emitted intense Energy Ripples, but he didn’t emit any Heart Armor’s ripples. It seemed like he was an experienced Low-Level Deity Expert.

“Hehehe, several hundred Giant Dragons are holding the lines in the valley. So what are you afraid of?” The soldier, Elixino, didn’t take this seriously, and he laughed. He followed the bloodstains and continued his chase in the forest. “The Lord has already promised us a generous reward for killing all of Black Wood Domain’s men. Every person’s head can be exchanged for 500 Black Crystals. Where will we get such a golden opportunity?”

“But we are chasing them alone. This is too dangerous!” The short man furrowed his brows. He didn’t want to chase the enemies rashly.

“Humph, Mickey. You are very smart, but you are too cowardly. This is why you didn’t manage to become a Mid-Level Deity through practice. You won’t get a good training environment without enough Black Crystals. If you continue like this, you won’t manage to achieve a Level Advancement even if you practice for tens of thousands of years.”

...

Elixino didn’t turn his head back, and he rushed forward with large strides as he spoke. The short man, Mickey, observed the silhouette of his companion, who left far before he did, and he shook his head helplessly, following his companion quickly. Both people followed the bloodstains left behind by the enemies and walked down the road. They only got farther from the valley, and they were unaware that several pairs of eyes in the depths of the forest glared at them and approached them.

“Brother Elixino, let’s not pursue them farther. Stop quickly.” After the prudent shortie, Mickey, detoured around a mountain, he thought of something and stopped instinctively. He felt like something was amiss. He had a very prudent character, but it was a pity that it was already too late.

Sizzle!

Ripples appeared suddenly in the air. Those ripples were very swift, and they instantly reached the people. Wherever those ripples passed by, fine spatial fissures would appear in the air and a sizzling noise would echo out. Those ripples entered both people’s bodies and suddenly they attacked their souls like blades.

The Death Ripples. The Corpse Wizard King, who hid behind a large tree, attacked decisively.

“Ah! There is an ambush! Let’s go. Let’s leave quickly.”

The shortie let out a miserable scream, and he bore his pain to raise the sharp sword in his hands. However, a large rod reached his head before he could spot the Corpse Wizard King, and as a “thump” noise echoed out, his head was injured, and blood flowed out of it. Soon after, he was kicked heavily by someone and sent flying away. After this, a large foot tramped his chest, and he felt an intense stab of his pain. Even his Godhead was almost crushed. Meanwhile, the man, Elixino, was also lying unconscious on the ground, and several of his ribs were broken by the Dark Dragon King’s punch.

The two soldiers, with a Low-Level Deity’s power, suffered the ambush of the Corpse Wizard King and his companions, and they couldn’t withstand even a single blow.

“Hehe, those two guys are really reckless.” The Corpse Wizard King sneered coldly and grabbed the two unconscious soldiers before he left quickly. The bloodthirsty Giant Ape King and Dark Dragon King were behind him, and they followed him closely. They quickly reached Yang Ling and his companions.

“Lord, we have captured two people without a hitch.” The Corpse Wizard King threw the two captives on the ground and he created a storm of dust.

“Rodriguez, I just want you to know what this place is and how the surrounding terrain is. As for how you should achieve this? You knew this better than me.” Yang Ling sat cross-legged on the ground and looked calmly at the two mangled captives.

After he became a High-Level Soul Wizard, the Soul Energy of an ordinary God-Level Expert wasn’t any different than a drop in the sea for him and wasn’t worth mentioning. If there wasn’t anything special about those people, he didn’t have to waste his Wizard Power and Mental Energy to absorb their souls and memory.

“Hehehe, good. I have understood it.” The Corpse Wizard King chuckled and wore a brighter smile across his face. He muttered for a moment before he waved his hand and released black gas. He used Undead Magic to seize the two captives’ memory and devour their souls. The Corpse Wizard King’s body shone slightly, and it shone with bright radiance as if he had just devoured a tonic.

Undead Soul Devour!

In a sense, the Corpse Wizard King’s Undead Magic achieved the same effect as Yang Ling’s Soul Hampering Technique through a different method. In addition, the Corpse Wizard King’s technique seemed more terrifying. The two captives were quietly corroded by the black gas and turned into a yellow puddle. There wasn’t even a thread of hair left out of them, let alone bones. Their corpses were instantly wiped out, and all marks were erased.

After the Corpse Wizard King seized the two captives’ memories, he quickly organized it and selected useful info before he talked about them slowly.

It turned out that the crowd was situated in a location called the Giant Dragon Mountain Range. It was a mountain range that stretched for several hundred thousand miles, and it could be divided into many branches. There were many basins and pieces of vast, flat land between every two branches of the mountain range. Innumerable residents lived here!

It was said that a long time ago, the Giant Dragon Mountain Range was the Dragon God’s domain and large groups of Ancient Giant Dragons lived here. This land had rich resources, and no one dared to intrude into the Giant Dragons’ world. But later, the Giant Dragon Mountain Range declined in a night for an unknown reason, and the strong High-Level Ancient Giant Dragons went missing. The remaining Mid and Low-Level Giant Dragons were exterminated jointly by other factions. Even the Giant Dragon Castle fell into enemies’ hands, let alone the Crystal Mines, and all treasures in the castle were plundered.

After innumerable years of plunder, most natural resources in the Giant Dragon Mountain Range were exhausted, and all of the previous great factions left, one after the other. As for the ordinary migrants, they stayed there, and they lived in the mountain range for generations. The resources left in the Giant Dragon Mountain Range were insignificant in comparison to other regions of the Chaos Dimension, and the great factions wouldn’t take a liking to it. But this place still had a great allure to ordinary people.

Shortly after the great factions left, many domains appeared in the Giant Dragon Mountain Range, and many unknown small Divine Branches appeared. Those Divine Branches fought intensely over believers and all kinds of resources. Even the strongest great domain or small Divine Branch didn’t have enough power to unite the whole Giant Dragon Mountain Range, and they were even challenged repeatedly by people who came later. This was why the Giant Dragon Mountain Range only got messier with every passing year, and it seemed like a forgotten corner that didn’t attract the attention of the outside world.

The two captives’ domain was called the Giant Dragon Domain, and it belonged to a great faction in the Giant Dragon Mountain Range. Its City Lord’s manor was the Giant Dragon Castle, left behind by the Ancient Giant Dragons.

It was said that the Giant Dragon Lord was just a destitute wanderer in the past, and he took advantage of the retreat of various great factions to come here. He assembled his brothers and occupied the best Giant Dragon Castle’s region. He was also very lucky, and he inadvertently got the ability to summon Giant Dragons, which he used to raise a large group of Giant Dragons. His power wasn’t high, but he depended upon a large group of Giant Dragons, the firm Giant Dragon Castle, as well as his prudent character to survive for many years and form the faction with the longest history.
