Chapter 823: Chapter 690: War, A Hundred Years of Zhehuang

Under the protection of Liu Binglan, Chu Mu had been staying at the Great Chu Noble Family all this time, spending most of his time in meditation.

Although the Soul Power of a Soul Emperor is abundant, it takes even longer to recover than a Soul Lord Level after being consumed. The process of strengthening an Emperor-level Soul Pet can consume most of Chu Mu’s Soul Power.

As for the high-level Emperor that had been manipulated, Elder De and other elderly Soul Emperors with a higher level had conducted a large-scale search around the area for about half a month.

They found traces of the high-level Emperor, but the traces showed that it had already flown into the Forbidden Domain. It seemed to have sensed the threat from the human experts and had hidden deep in the Forbidden Domain, not daring to come out again.

Liu Binglan was not worried about the threat of this high-level Emperor, but about why the creature manipulating it showed hostility towards Chu Mu.

Although she had received news of the Heavenly Immortal Ice, she didn’t rush to leave this time. She stayed at the Great Chu Noble Family to ensure that there would be no more threats from Emperor-level Soul Pets.

Chu Mu wasn’t entirely worried about the high-level Emperor Sky Demon Worm, as he still had half of the Pure Earth Immortal Ice in his possession, which would be enough for him.

However, Fox Elder told Chu Mu some unfortunate news.

Chu Mu had now stepped into the realm of a Soul Emperor, and the White Nightmare Demon had become an Emperor. Therefore, when he underwent half-demonization, his strength would likely reach the Peak Emperor Level.

Having such powerful strength would cause more intense soul burning for Chu Mu, and the cooling effect of Earth Immortal Ice would weaken. Thus, Fox Elder still advised Chu Mu against using the half-demonization. If the Earth Immortal Ice couldn’t cool down the temperature, Chu Mu would be in trouble.

Similarly, as Chu Mu’s strength continued to increase and he continued to feed the White Nightmare Demon, the effect of the Heavenly Earth Immortal Ice in cooling Chu Mu’s soul would likely diminish. If Chu Mu wanted to use the power of the half-demon, he would need a higher-level ice attribute spirit item…

…

One month later, the Sky Demon Worm Empire launched a formal attack on humans!

This Zhehuang was the largest in scale in a hundred years. Not only were the four Earth Realms affected, but even several of the Earth Realms further east also needed to be evacuated.

Human experts took the Great Chu Noble Family as their stronghold, and all Soul Pet Trainers were assigned to several Earth Realms where the Sky Demon Worms must pass. They began the confrontation between humans and Sky Demon Worms in the pre-built fortresses and strongholds.

The Sky Demon Worm race does not possess particularly terrifying offensive means and belongs to the very ordinary insect-type Soul Pets. The most threatening aspect of the Sky Demon Worms is their numbers!

The reproduction speed of Insect-type Soul Pets is much faster than other Soul Pets. The Sky Demon Worms are one of the fastest-reproducing insect-type Soul Pets. Once their “population” becomes excessive, they will inevitably expand their power.

Scholars made a judgement that this Zhehuang was not a tidal phenomenon caused by the reproduction of Sky Demon Worms, but more likely a result of accumulated power, intending to engulf several of the human Earth Realms in a tide-like invasion!

The scale of the Zhehuang is now difficult to estimate. The West Region, Zhanli Realm, North Ice Realm, Origin Realm and several adjacent Earth Realms to the east have all fallen into a tense atmosphere after the outbreak of the war. The Earth Realms further east are like endless rivers converging, constantly transporting resources to the war zone day and night.

…

“What’s going on at the North Ice Fortress? There’s no backup support, haven’t you received the report that a Second-Level Tribe of Sky Demon Worms is coming?” The Origin Realm Lord roared angrily.

As the highest commander of these several Earth Realms, Origin Realm Lord Lu Zideng’s main responsibility was to assign experts to various positions.

“Sir, the North Ice Fortress was recently attacked by a group of Sky Demon Worms. The North Ice Realm Lord stationed there was seriously injured, and the support Soul Emperors also became weak due to continuous battles. The Soul Lord Legion and Soul Master Legion also suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle.” Fang Li lowered his head and carefully reported the crisis situation to Lu Zideng.@@novelbin@@

“Am I supposed to go and support them personally?” Lu Zideng said irritably.

“That would be inappropriate. Without your command, our legions would be even more chaotic.” The adjutant beside him said hastily.

“Fang Li, immediately announce the situation in the North Ice Realm to everyone, and lead the voluntary army to the North Ice Fortress for support. Be quick! The North Ice Fortress is of great importance. Once its defense line is broken, half of the North Ice Realm’s territory will fall within a month!” Lu Zideng said after calming down, directly dispatching his right-hand man, Fang Li.

Fang Li was in charge of the battle reports, and almost all battle reports came through him. At the same time, with the invisibility ability of the Demon Spirit, Fang Li often executed missions of assassinating the commanders of Sky Demon Worms, successfully relieving the deadly crisis for several large cities.

However, after continuous battles, Fang Li’s Soul Pets were also exhausted. Now that Lu Zideng had assigned him to the North Ice Fortress, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go. But whether or not he could hold off the sudden surge of Sky Demon Worms, Fang Li couldn’t be sure.

When they arrived at Wogu City, Fang Li informed the volunteer Soul Pet Trainer legions stationed in the city about the situation in the North Ice Realm.

In one day, Fang Li gathered about 3,000 Soul Pet Trainers. Regardless of whether this force was sufficient or not, he immediately led them to the North Ice Realm to cope with the Second-Level Tribe’s Zhehuang coming to the North Ice Fortress.

“Sir Fang Li, there isn’t much time. We have to hurry up,” said one of Fang Li’s subordinates.

“I know. There’s still some strength at the North Ice Fortress, which should be able to hold on for some time,” Fang Li said.

The support troops were divided into several groups: the fastest Soul Lord Legion went first, followed by the Soul Master Legion, and finally the Soul Warrior Legion.

…

Unfortunately, the bad news came when Fang Li was halfway to the battlefield.

The Second-Level Tribe had entered the North Ice Fortress, intending to destroy the human military stronghold!

As the commander and the only Soul Emperor in the team, Fang Li naturally had to join the battle. After all, there were 2 to 3 Emperor-level creatures in the Second-Level Tribe, and only he could handle the quasi-Emperor adversaries.

In order to minimize the impact, Fang Li led a few of his trusted subordinates to the North Ice Fortress, hoping they could make it in time.

However, just before Fang Li arrived at the North Ice Realm, there was news that a Soul Emperor had appeared in the North Ice Fortress, single-handedly holding off the large majority of Sky Demon Worms, and even killing a quasi-Emperor commander from the Second-Level Tribe. His strength amazed everyone, practically saving everyone at the onset of the calamity.

Each Soul Emperor had their own mission. Fang Li was surprised. He wondered which Soul Emperor from another place had come in time and dissolved the terrible crisis in the North Ice Realm.

Upon arriving at the North Ice Fortress, Fang Li quickly discovered that the Second-Level Tribe-level calamity had been significantly weakened. It seemed that the terrifying Second-Level Tribe had been almost wiped out before the news reached him!

In any case, it was a fortunate thing that the North Ice Fortress did not fall. After sighing a breath of relief, Fang Li immediately inquired about the identity of the powerful individual who had resolved this crisis.

If someone could eliminate the Second-Level Tribe single-handedly, their strength must certainly approach that of a Third-Level Territory Lord!

“Soul Hall Chu Chen!!!”

A sharp yell from Fang Li suddenly echoed in the command room!

“It’s a joke! How could he alone eliminate most of the Second-Level Tribe!” Fang Li said, in disbelief!

“Sir Fang, it is indeed Soul Hall Chu Chen. A recent announcement also revealed that the one who ventured deep into the Ten Thousand Broken Sting Valley multiple times, strangling the Tribe forces in their cradle, was none other than Soul Hall Chu Chen, the youth who won the first place in the World Competition,” said the Fortress Lord.

“It’s him?” Even more astonishment surged in Fang Li’s heart.

Fang Li gained his own fame and numerous battle achievements with the help of his invisible soul pets. However, when compared to the mysterious strangler, the two were simply incomparable. After all, that person was directly infiltrating the Ten Thousand Broken Sting Valley and annihilating the incoming Tribe forces!

“Where is he?” Fang Li immediately asked.

“He’s meditating somewhere in the fortress and doesn’t want to be disturbed. Moreover, he said that you can handle the enemies that will come later,” said the Fortress Lord.

Fang Li’s chest heaved up and down, and his ugly face trembled.

“Sir?” The Fortress Lord saw Fang Li’s strange expression and cautiously asked.

“Take me to him so I can thank him,” Fang Li said coldly, not very willingly.

Fang Li himself was from the North Ice Realm. Although he was not the lord of this place, his family was still here. So even if his soul pets were exhausted, Fang Li hurried back as urgently as possible.

He had thought that he would be too late this time, but Chu Mu’s appearance saved the fortress and the North Ice Realm. Even though Fang Li and Chu Mu were enemies, he still had to express his gratitude. After all, a battle could potentially cost lives, even for a Soul Emperor.

Most importantly, Chu Mu, who had contributed multiple times more to the cause of eradicating Tribe-level calamities, had carried out several salvation missions without revealing his identity and receiving any compensation from the World Contest Organizers, the Earth Realm, and the forces involved.

Even in this crucial fortress defense, after Chu Mu had defeated most of the enemies, he went straight into meditation, leaving the rest to Fang Li.

Fang Li knew that once he took over, he would not have to exert much effort to resolve the crisis, and all the merits would again fall onto him.

Fang Li admitted that he couldn’t do what Chu Mu did. As he let the Fortress Lord lead him to express his thanks, even though he still bore a grudge against Chu Mu, he couldn’t help but genuinely admire the determined youth who was unwavering in his cultivation and battle efforts.

“Maybe this is the reason I am stuck in place…” Fang Li sighed and said with a hint of helplessness.
