I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 622 The Ancestor Has Attacked?
War Emperor?

how can that be!

Qiu Shuang's pupils contracted slightly, and her right hand gripping the knife hilt unconsciously tightened.

The city lords of the nearby cities are all War Emperor level experts, and I know them all. How could there be a sixth person?

If there truly is a sixth War Emperor capable of contending with the Beast Emperor, why haven't we been able to kill a single Beast Emperor yet, thus reducing the waves of the beast tide and the pressure on our defenses?
Furthermore, what does the other party mean by the seven seals?
Seeing the intense distrust flashing in Qiu Shuang's eyes, Chi Yan felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

What an explosive start!

They were planning to infiltrate the investigation mission, but they're about to mess it up right from the start.

Do we really have to use the "secret technique" taught by Fifth Brother?
But none of the three of them possessed Fifth Brother's power to instantly kill the Beast King.
That method really is only usable by Fifth Brother.
Just as Chi Yan was about to say something, Qiu Shuang immediately released the hilt of her sword and leaped backward.

As he distanced himself from the group, he pulled a dagger from his leg and held it in his hand, continuing the standoff without letting up.

"Who are you people? And why are you here?!" she hissed.

Given the immense power displayed by Chi Yan, Qiu Shuang was at least 80% convinced of his claim of being the War Emperor.

Without special means, the War King could never have crushed the long sword in her hand in an instant, let alone so easily break her sudden attack and eliminate everything without a trace.

"Um... we didn't mean any harm. Do you believe me if I say that?"

Chi Yan dissipated his aura, spread his hands to indicate that he was harmless, and said with a bitter face.

"We came from the west, just wanting to find out about the situation of the human race here."

"Impossible! Radiant City is the oldest city of the human race and the first line of defense against the ferocious beasts. Its western part is completely under the control of the ferocious beast horde. How could you possibly survive there!" Qiu Shuang said sharply. "Moreover, Radiant City is currently surrounded by a beast tide. How did you manage to enter the city?"

"It's quite easy to sneak in, thanks to my Martial Mark talent! I, Chi Mo, follow the assassin path. Having devoured the Shadow Bat's Shadow Concealment talent, I can hide a section of the surrounding area in darkness and isolate it from life force."

The girl named Chi Mo grinned as she lifted the arm guard on her forearm, revealing three martial marks underneath.

"Fifth Brother said that without special methods, even the War Emperor and the Great Beast King would have a hard time finding me!"

She was the girl whose broken leg had been healed by Lu Wenwu a year ago.

After transforming into a martial artist through the Martial Mark Warrior training, she successfully entered the Three Marks realm through her previous accumulation and a year of arduous training, and already possessed strength comparable to A-rank.

In the past year, there have been many others like her who have made significant progress in their cultivation.

For example, Qingcao, whom Lu Wenwu focused on cultivating and who participated in this operation, now also possesses the cultivation level of a Seven-Seal Battle Emperor.

It can only be said that Qingcao's foundation and talent are far superior to Chiyan's.

In an environment teeming with ferocious beasts, every beast-blooded warrior walks the line between life and death every day, constantly pushing themselves to break through their physical limits and passing on their best genes to the next generation.

The average age of twenty or thirty years old leads to an extremely rapid pace of generational change.

Through continuous iterations, the proportion of people in these small tribes who naturally possess the potential to become beast warriors is terrifyingly high, and their talents are generally stronger, far surpassing those of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

The only problem is the lack of a systematic cultivation method, which has resulted in his strength remaining weak.

Now that Lu Wenwu has made up for the shortcomings in food, cultivation system, and cultivation resources, they have experienced a leap in improvement.

Originally, after opening the tomb of the Blazing Flame War Lord, Lu Wenwu planned to forcibly open an ultra-long-range spatial channel and jump directly to Radiant City to develop his territory.

Xiao Bao stopped this plan.

After discussing it for a while, the person and the cat slightly changed their original jumping plan.

The approach shifted to using short-distance teleportation arrays as nodes, gradually pushing forward from the Valley of Fallen Warriors, advancing steadily.

The cleanup of the ferocious beast clans provided a cultivation resource for the human and wolf clans, and also allowed Qinglin to take the opportunity to reclaim the seeds that had been planted and had already borne fruit.

So throughout the year, the ferocious wolves and several thousand humans, led by Lu Wenwu, basically repeated the same steps: finding and killing ferocious beasts, retrieving wolf packs, searching for teleportation array materials, and pushing forward.

Although it took a little longer, the results were remarkable.

Both humans and wolves have experienced tremendous improvements and development.

Qinglin has improved his bloodline by consuming a bloodline enhancement diet made from Mao Mao's blood, successfully advancing to the Beast King realm and gaining some new powers.

Today, the entire western part of the ancient continent has been incorporated into the ruling area and is completely under the rule of the ferocious wolf clan, which has grown to several million in number.

Oh, to be precise, it was to rule on behalf of Lu Wenwu.

Incidentally, they also gathered some ferocious beasts of the same canine family as subordinate groups of subordinate groups, which can be considered subordinates of Lu Wenwu's subordinates.

Currently, Lu Wenwu only commands a few thousand human soldiers.

However, the number of canine ferocious beasts has reached tens of millions.

If Xiao Bao hadn't been too lazy to help take care of the feline side, the number would probably have doubled.

Even so, that's enough.

With their population expanding to this extent, they are sufficient for both conquering and defending the world, and can continue to snowball, starting from the western part of the ancient continent and sweeping across the entire continent with overwhelming force.

Speaking of this, we must mention Lu Wenwu's new geographical discoveries.

Over the past year, aside from leaving a few clones to teach humans and occasionally returning to leave some food and resources, his main body spent most of the time exploring the outside world and improving purity along the way—the clones' exploration efficiency was simply too low.

This guy's way of exploring the continent was to run westward to the edge of the world, then choose a direction along the edge and keep running until he completed a lap and returned to the starting point.

Very abstract.

Therefore, under Lu's almost godlike exploration methods, the conquest of the western part of the ancient continent was basically a matter of discussion between Mao Mao and Qing Lin. When in doubt, they would ask Xiao Bao, who stayed behind, for advice.

Lu Wenwu was essentially a ruthless tool for constructing teleportation arrays, mainly relying on a hands-off approach.

According to Lu Wenwu's exploration results, the area of ​​the Desolate Ancient Continent is astonishingly large, roughly estimated to be at least several hundred times the surface area of ​​the Earth.

There is only one relatively small ocean in the central-eastern part of the continent, which occupies about one percent of the total continental area.

Well.
Actually, calling it a giant saltwater lake might be a good way to describe it.
It's just a bit too big.

In any case, Lu Wenwu believed that this place, which was several times larger than the combined surface area of ​​the Earth, should be called a sea. Given the current technological level of the Ancient Human Race, it was almost impossible for anyone below the fourth seal martial artist to cross it. The entire continent roughly resembled a cross shape, somewhat like a throwing knives.

Currently, the Ferocious Wolf Clan occupies only a corner of the west, and there is absolutely no trace of the so-called Beast God here.

The closer to the central area, the higher the quality of spiritual energy, and the stronger the general strength.

Now, Lu Wenwu has returned from exploring the continent, and his forces have just advanced to the edge of Radiant City.

After all, it is an indigenous civilization that has struggled and evolved with great difficulty, and it is the culmination of the life's work of the Fierce Flame War Lord. It cannot be treated as casually as those primitive tribes.

It's not appropriate to just push straight through like before; we should try to make things peaceful if possible.

To rule the world, the size of the race is crucial; otherwise, the human race's dominant position will eventually backfire after Lu Wenwu leaves, and the kind of thing that happened in the world of "High Martial Arts Showdown"—where the human race devours its master—will repeat itself.

Based on this consideration, Chi Mo, Chi Yan, and Qing Cao came to gather intelligence.

This can also be considered a form of training for subordinates.

As we transition from primitive society to feudal society and enter into true civilization, we still need to understand some basic etiquette and manners.

In the past, Lu Wenwu was always a hands-off manager when it came to building up power. He had no interest in ruling the world; he'd rather spend his time in the kitchen studying the secrets of making egg pancakes.

He felt that after teaching these ancient humans for two years, his egg pancake cooking skills were just one step away from a breakthrough, and he could break through at any time.

"You can use the Shadow Bat's innate abilities? And you still say you're not a ferocious beast?"

Inside the small barracks, Qiu Shuang's expression grew even more somber, and cold sweat had soaked through the back of her clothes.

"Young lady, you're too nervous. We are indeed human beings, without a doubt."

Chi Yan untied the spear from his back and placed it on the ground to indicate that he posed no threat, then said.

"We have switched to a new cultivation method. The traditional Beast Blood Warrior cultivation method has been eliminated by us. We now call it the Martial Mark Warrior."

"Not only can one rapidly improve one's cultivation by devouring beast blood and crystal cores, but also, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, one can devour the imprint within the crystal core of a ferocious beast and transfer it onto one's own martial core, thereby achieving the effect of using the beast's innate divine power."

"For example, the Green Grass lady next to me and I are at the same level as the War Emperor among the Beast Blood Warriors. We can leave seven marks on our Martial Cores, and seven Martial Marks will appear on our bodies as well."

"The move I just made to crush your battle sword was an application of the Iron-Eating Black Bear's innate skill—Iron Skin."

Two War Emperors!

Was that the kind-looking woman also one?

Qiu Shuang's heart sank.

Reason told her that, given the other party's absolute advantage and control over her life and death, there was no reason for them to lie to her.

But this was really beyond her comprehension.

Two War Emperors suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they can even use the innate divine abilities of ferocious beasts?
This is simply ridiculous!
And these two names.
Red ink, green grass.

I have never heard of it before.

Moreover, the latter's name is so casual.
Qiu Shuang seemed to have accepted the situation, or perhaps she simply lacked the strength and energy to continue the confrontation. She chose to sheath the dagger back into the scabbard hidden in her thigh.

She took a deep breath and looked at Chi Yan as calmly as possible: "She is Qingcao, she is Chimo, then who are you? And where do you come from?"

"My name is Chi Yan, but I've changed it back to my original name, Chi Huo," Chi Yan, or rather Chi Huo, said with a smile. "If I had to name it, Chi Mo and I are from the Lie Yan tribe."

"Crimson Flame? Blazing Flame Tribe? What the hell? Are you kidding me?!"

Upon hearing these two names, Qiu Shuang immediately became excited and even drew out the dagger she had just put away again.

"You say you come from the Blazing Flame Tribe, but where did we come from? Everyone in Radiant City knows that after the Blazing Flame War Lord fell, our Blazing Flame Tribe migrated here and established Radiant City!"

"You really are ferocious beasts in disguise! You even dared to impersonate the Crimson Flame Ancestor! You damned beasts, how dare you impersonate my human ancestors! Even if you are truly the War Emperor, I will drag you down with me to die today!"

Halfway through her sentence, Qiu Shuang's skin turned bright red, and her face was contorted with rage.

Her qi and blood were operating at an almost frantic speed, and her dantian was completely boiling, on the verge of self-destruction.

"Young lady, please calm down."

The gentle voice of the green grass rang out.

What followed was a palm with a pale blue flame.

The instant the fiery hand touched Qiu Shuang, she felt as if all the power in her body was suppressed, her soul was enveloped by a warm power, and her previous anger and fear vanished without a trace.

It's like being in your mother's arms.

Taking this opportunity, Chi Huo explained: "Three thousand years ago, the Blazing Flame War Venerable and the Crimson Flame Ancestor joined forces to establish the Blazing Flame Tribe. Later, the Blazing Flame War Venerable perished, and about a thousand years later, the Blazing Flame Tribe split into two branches due to ideological differences. One branch led some of its people and heritage away, and that is you."

"We are the branch that remained, with the surname 'Chi'. We still live in our ancestral land, not far from where the Fierce Flame War God fell. We retain the lifestyle from thousands of years ago, living in tribes and making a living by hunting."

“If you still retain the habit of recording history like us, someone here should know that each generation of tribal chiefs of the Lieyan tribe inherits the name ‘Chiyan’. Before I left the tribe, I was the previous generation’s Chiyan, and my original name was Chihuo.”

“I don’t know if you have any records here, but the spear in my hand is a relic of the former Blazing Flame Battle Venerable. By holding this spear and guiding its power with secret techniques, I can briefly contend with the Beast King, and even have the opportunity to severely injure him.”

"We came here this time because a great power named Lu Wenwu has emerged among our human race. His cultivation is so profound that it surpasses even that of the former Blazing Flame Battle Venerable."

"He created the Martial Mark Warrior cultivation method based on the Beast Blood Warrior cultivation method. It is stronger, faster, and maximizes the use of resources than the Beast Blood Warrior, and its combat power is enough to surpass that of ferocious beasts of the same realm."

"Under his leadership, we have brought tens of millions of ferocious beasts under our control as a subordinate race, and now we have completely dominated the western part of the continent, with only the last one remaining."

"Thump! Thump! Thump—! Thump! Thump! Thump—! Thump! Thump! Thump—!"

Suddenly, the rhythmic and magnificent chimes rang out. Qiu Shuang, who had calmed down after being soothed by the spiritual power of the green grass, changed her expression drastically and became extremely anxious.

"This is the Beast-Suppressing Bell sounding an alarm! This rhythm means the beast tide has reached a massive scale, personally commanded by the Beast King! If you are truly human War Kings, then release me immediately! Come with me to the city and fight the enemy together!"

"If you weren't exaggerating, the two of you working together with the city lord might actually be able to capture a Beast King and completely crush this wave of beasts!"
