At the extreme north of the Savage Continent, there was a huge war occurring.
Over 100 tribes were clearly separated into two large armies, standing opposite each other on the vast snow plain. In the Savage Continent, the frequency of battles occurring was far more than any other place in the Sacred Saint Galaxy. The general atmosphere of the harsh lands was that they revered strength, causing every tribe inside to participate in never ending battles.
Located in the Aba Mountains of the South was the Steel Mountain King Court, and located in the Vast Snow Plains was the North Blizzard King Court, who were always in conflict. Finally, both parties lost patience and brought all of the tribes that belonged to them to the fight to the death.
This war had greatly influenced the structure of the northern part in the Savage Continent.
At the forefront of both parties, there were many altars of different sizes placed all over. The raging flames caused the pots inside the houses to release fragrant smoke, all sorts of various beast meat cooked in the iron pots, blood mist congealed inside the pots, squirming around.
On the different altars, there were the witch doctors of the various tribes, all of them dancing with the bone staffs in hand, looking seemingly fanatical as though they were truly insane.
In both King Courts, they had over a hundred tribes, each tribe worshipping different totems, thus their offerings were all different to each other. Worship sacrifice before battle was the most commonly seen tradition of the Savage Continent, as it could greatly increase the strength of the soldiers.
This was why the other continents believed that the Savage Continent were not civilized.
Bizarre power surged out from each other altars, converging in the air above the snow plains.
After half an hour, the Sovereign King of both parties suddenly raised their heads at the same time, a look of surprise flashed past their eyes.
The Savage Continent revered strength the most, and every King Court would be held by what they call Sovereign King. Every Sovereign King was a powerful martial artists. In the desolate land, purely relying on wits and intellect was unable to establish a King Court.
Steel Mountain Sovereign King Tie Ji, North Blizzard Sovereign King Ah Si Ming were such strong martial artists, their sensitivity towards energy far exceeded any ordinary person.
But at that moment, their faces were gloomily watching the sky, sensing something amiss.
In such big wars, offering sacrifice at the frontlines was extremely common, both parties had their sacrifice ceremonies churning up in the air, or it should be reasonable to say that the power from both sides were fighting in the air, but that was just the prologue to the battle.
But, the sacrificial power from the various tribes were actually gathering and merging in the air, not differing between enemies.
They had never encountered such a strange situation before.
Very quickly, the witch doctors on their altars also sensed that something was wrong. There seemed to be an invisible vortex in the air, frantically absorbing their strength, they could sense that the power from their altars were quickly surging into the air.
Buzzzzz.
One of the tribal warriors suddenly realized that the weapon in his hands was trembling slightly, as though it was struggling free from his hands.
He was shocked, he immediately turned his head to look, and in his eyes, all the weapons were trembling.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
The sudden appearance of the tide of buzzing sounds caused their skins to go numb.
Tie Jie and Ah Si Ming’s faces changed, there was a power converging in the sky, and in a short span of time, it had swelled into a terrifying hurricane. The all powerful Sovereign Kings felt their heart jumping.
~What’s happening?~
The sky was suddenly cut by countless of light scars that resembled shooting stars, which was the friction between the high speed energy flow and the air, producing light auras, they were gathering from all angles, rushing towards the invisible vortex above the snow plains.
Tens of thousands of light scars gathered to form a dazzling vortex.
The vortex became increasingly bright, the terrifying undulation was like a humongous wave that rumbled outwards.
The powerful force caused everyone’s hearts to tremble, and all of the valiant tribal warriors felt overwhelming shock. Plop, someone’s knees went weak and knelt on the ground, as though the ripple had forced him down. In the two large armies that were about to face off, the soldiers started to kneel, all of their faces were buried in the snow, their hearts filled with revere and fear.
On the snow plains, only the two sovereign kings stood strongly, both of them fighting against the powerful force.
The numbing sound suddenly disappeared, causing the land to become silent.
The bright vortex stopped revolving, forming a light door in the sky.
Suddenly, the eyes of both Sovereign Kings opened widely.
A figure slowly walked out from the light door, followed by another, and then more and more figures walked out, waves after waves of figures walked out.
~Heroic Spirits!~
~There are actually so many heroic spirits!~
The two Sovereign Kings watched in shock, blankly looking up at the sky.
Apart from the Savage Continent, everyone else called them Spirit Dyads, but in the land of brute and barbarians, they were hailed as Heroic Spirits. Heroic Spirits were seen as the protection assistance of the ancestors, people who were able to obtain heroic spirits would be able to receive the protection of their ancestors. Tie Ji and Ah Si Ming were more knowledgeable than the other people, they knew that the Heroic Spirits were in fact strong martial artists that harbored strong emotions before they died, thus forming the Heroic Spirits. Like any other place, Heroic Spirits were like Spirit Dyads and could be bought.
But……
All the Heroic Spirits had the same attire, with a rigid formation, they were obviously an army.
~An army of Heroic Spirits……~
In the Savage Continent, to form Heroic Spirits, there were two criterias. One was to have an intense desire, the other was to be powerful enough when they were alive. In the Savage Continent, only the Sovereign Kings who died had the possibility of forming Heroic Spirits.
~An army of Heroic Spirits……that means if they were alive, wouldn’t it be an army of Sovereign Kings?~
The Two Sovereign Kings were completely shocked, one after another of Heroic Spirits walked out of the light door quietly, they surged on and on, as if behind the light door, there were an unlimited amount of Heroic Spirits.
The scale of the Heroic Spirits Army before them made the two Sovereign Kings numb.
Suddenly, a dark green figure walked out of the light door, stunning the two Sovereign Kings.
In the air, a young lady dressed in Military attire, Wearing the Perseus Crown, her long black hair fluttered with the wind, she looked down on the great land.
***********************
Tang Tian’s party’s arrival intimidated everyone.
Ji Shan and the other spies all quieted down, all of the soldiers released an intimidating killing aura that caused them to be fearful. When the fleet entered the Shang Continent, the spies discovered warships that had Xu Ji Worldwide Commerce and the Bai Family Emblem, causing their faces to change.
Hearing that Tang Tian was going back, Xu Jin and Bai Yue chased up halfway.
Xu Ji Worldwide Commerce was one of the most powerful weapons business under the sky, while the Bai Family was a powerful family with deep roots in the Southern Region, just a mere Shang Continent actually had relation to the two powerhouses, no one would dare to do anything without thinking.
Ji Shan and Lei Meng tacitly stopped discussing about plans to seize the Shang Continent. At the very second that they could, they reported all the intell back to their superiors, and with ease they went back to the hard bitter work.
“Master!” Tang Chou greeted Bing.
“Well done!” Bing puffed out a smoke ring and nodded satisfyingly: “If you continue like this, i reckon it will not be long befor you to surpass me!”
Tang Chou remained serious: “This subordinate will surpass Master!”
“Then you must work hard!” Bing laughed out loud, he was not angry at all.
Xie Yu An and the rest did not dare to breath, in their hearts, Tang Chou was already a god of war. They never thought that the seemingly ordinary looking spirit dyad in front of them was called “Master” by Master Tang Chou, this birthed a stifling pressure inside their hearts.
~Boss’ power is truly unfathomable.~
The Sword Forest Stronghold had undergone a complete change, and was revamped to look completely different.
Crane accompanied Xu Jin and Bai Yue as they toured Sword Forest Stronghold. Born of nobility, Crane was meticulous when meeting people, thus such matters were left to him.
“Unique craftsmanship!” Bai Yue kept on praising: “I have seen many strongholds before, but this is the first time for me to encounter such a uniquely crafted stronghold. I wonder who is the creator of this Stronghold?”
Xu Jin who was standing beside Bai Yue was still in a daze, he had not recovered from the shock when he saw the desert covered in black. The black stones were endless, which meant the amount of wealth was endless. Even though he never lacked in money, he still got enchanted by the sea of Black Gold.
Bai Yue was equally shocked, but he was not shocked because of the amount of black stones, but by the Sword Forest Stronghold.
Crane laughed: “It was by our chief mechanical master.”
Bai Yue thought about it, by saying the word “Chief”, it meant that they did not only have one.
“I wonder if we can meet this person?” Bai Yue said with respect: “Such a high level grandmaster, if I am able to learn a thing or two from him, I can die without regrets.”
“My apologies, she is not here.” Crane said with an apologetic look.
“That is truly a pity.” Bai Yue was filled with remorse, his heart still thinking of all sorts of ways to try and meet with such an intellectual person.
From the start, Bai Yue saw something in Meng Nan, and thought that he had the potential to become an ally of the Bai Family. But as time went on, Meng Nan kept giving him more and more surprises, and gradually revealing his strength, causing Bai Yue to constantly re-examine the relation between them.
He had also seen the transformation of Xie Yu An and the others.
Bai Yue himself was a famed grade general, but it was still the first time for him to witness such a cruel and harsh training. And what he never thought was that Xie Yu An and the rest would actually persist on.
Meng Nan, was a fearsome tiger, with his teeth and claws fully grown.
Bai Yue suddenly felt pity for the Vast Star Continent, with a tiger right beside them, they would never be able to sleep and eat in peace.
Bai Yue’s guess was right, Yang Zi Qing and He Si Ji were already restless, and found out how much they have underestimated the Shang Continent. All the answers that Yang Zi Qing had prepared prior to coming here were all overthrown because old general He Si Ji had clearly told him that the Shang Continent was stronger than the Vast Star Continent.
The Vast Star Continent was like a house with many leaks all over, being pushed and pulled by the wind and rain, while the Shang Continent was full of vitality, soaring with power and momentum.
It was Yang Zi Qing’s first time meeting Tang Tian, the true ruler of the Shang Continent.
~Too Young!~
Yang Zi Qing exclaimed in his mind, but he dare not look down on the other party. To be able to become so tyrannical at such a young age, who had the qualifications to look down on him?
His eyes gleamed with light, as he glanced at Bing who was puffing away beside Tang Tian. In front of him, there were no meaning to try any fancy moves. Yang Zi Qing had experience with him, and knew that Bing was hard to handle.
“We hope to form an alliance with the Shang Continent, I wonder what Continent Lord thinks about it?” Yang Zi Qing did not try to play at any angle, and went straight to the point. To the current Vast Star Continent, time was the most important, to waste time probing here and there would prove to be a huge loss to them.
“Alliance? Sure we can!” Bing puffed smoke rings, and continued: “We have to see what price your continent is willing to pay.”
~The feeling of cheating rich people was the best feeling.~
Yang Zi Qing had made preparations prior, and without hesitation: “We are willing to gift Continent Lord the Pontoon bridge in the Sea of Light.”
Tang Tian and Bing were both startled, they had thought that the Vast Star Continent would be willing to fork out a huge amount, but they never thought that the Vast Star Continent was prepared to fork out such an extravagant price.
That was the Pontoon Bridge of the Sea of Light, the one and only Pontoon Bridge.
