Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 741 Both sides have their buffs maxed out, the offense and defense are constantly shifting, and the strongest trump card is revealed.
The counterattack by the demon alliance was extremely fierce.

With the sacrifice of 1.5 million demons, even the Heavenly Decree could no longer make them yield to beauty.

The flesh and blood transformed into demons, igniting the ferocity of the demon alliance. They no longer knelt before Chu Wujiang, but chose to fight.

Fight to the death.

They were truly incredibly fierce.

If the human race does not launch this expedition, the great war will be much more difficult once the demon prodigies have digested what they gained from the demonic rain.

The four generals under Bai Ge's command all have the potential to become third-level Nascent Soul cultivators, not to mention the performance of other geniuses.

They are good enough that they must die here.

The general's command shines brightly.

The tokens, crafted by the Ministry of War at great expense, and precious weapons emerged from special nodes in the military formation. First, a milky white light covered most of the soldiers.

Even if these soldiers undergo rigorous training and fight many bloody battles on the battlefield, they may not necessarily become qualified veterans.

The quality of a veteran lies not in how strong they are, but in their adaptability.

Even if your military skills aren't particularly strong, you can still comfortably drink water in the trenches amidst flying bullets and deafening explosions, and casually fire a few more shots at the enemy.

That's what makes a qualified veteran.

For a qualified veteran, returning to the battlefield is like returning home.

Many soldiers who were engaged in battle found it easier to breathe, and the tension of facing a powerful enemy was immediately relieved.

The sudden increase in strength of the demon alliance caused the human front to be pushed back, leading to panic and even rout among many soldiers, which was all quite normal.

Now the soldiers have acquired the qualities of veterans, and they have begun to retreat in an orderly manner, and even if they are to die in battle, they will not panic and turn around to run away.

It's still about fighting to the death, but with more organization and efficiency.

The military must be efficient. The core objective of any tactical improvement is to annihilate the most enemies at the lowest cost.

The demon centurion sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted:

"The human soldiers have become stronger again."

"We need to be careful not to pursue them too aggressively!"

"Pursue in an orderly manner! Pursue in an orderly manner!"

The demon geniuses weren't fools either, and they quickly realized that the enemy had undergone a significant change.

It was trying its best to suppress the excited soldiers, lest they remain suppressed for too long and be counterattacked by the humans, which would be a greater loss than gain.

The defeat of the Sima family originally created a gap in the left flank of the army, but this gap was quickly filled by the Wang family's resistance.

The demon commander realized that he could not defeat the enemy in a short time, so he immediately changed his advance plan.

"These demons are truly extraordinary."

"Their tactical level is also rapidly improving, but without an information network, it cannot be communicated to the entire army at the fastest speed!"

The Snow Woman gazed at the carnage at the front lines, casually dispatching a demon commander, a look of approval on her face.

Huo Meier, standing to the side, added:

"Sister Yuki-onna, when do we join the battle?"

"Why don't we circle around to their rear and strike them head-on!"

"Burn these bastards to death."

When Chu Wujiang was calculating the strength of the human race, in addition to the nine million human soldiers, there were also a million ghost soldiers. If these ghost soldiers were deployed to the battlefield, they should be able to form an army of ten million.

The Snow Woman shook her head and said:
"No, the ghost soldiers are too weak. It's not a good idea to directly confront the army."

"The most urgent task is to order the ghost soldiers to collect the remains."

"This is the Five Ghosts Moving Technique!"

"The remains of the humans will be sent back to the rear for burial, while the remains of the demons will be used to create an army of the undead!"

"We must let the grasslands know how terrifying the army of the undead is."

The Snow Woman obtained the "Record of Creation of Ghosts," making her arguably the first person in the Ghost Path to date.

She can command the demons to seize the remains, gain their abilities, and engage in battle.

This would be a nightmare for the enemy.

Huo Meier's eyes lit up, and she quickly said:

"Yes, onee-sama!"

Normal ghost soldiers cannot appear on such a battlefield; the sheer killing intent of millions of soldiers is enough to reduce most ghosts to nothing.

Fortunately, the Snow Maiden ascended to the position of Ghost Emperor and used the "Creation of Ghosts Record" to construct the Ghost Realm, where all the ghost soldiers could obtain the Ghost Emperor's will.

They can do some simple tasks, such as moving corpses.

Now that the human race is gradually retreating, the Snow Maiden dares not miss the opportunity and hastily dispatched a million ghost soldiers to begin moving the remains.

At first, the human warriors were startled, and the battlefield commander quickly explained:

"One of our own!"

"This is the transport unit of the Heroes' Army. They are responsible for transporting remains and tallying military merits. We just need to focus on killing the enemy."

The soldiers were relieved and quickly replied:

"Yes, General!"

The first time Chu Wujiang used the General's Order to increase the martial fortune of a full nine million troops, the amount of magic power and time consumed was somewhat beyond imagination.

Even a temporary stroke of luck has exhausted the white general's command.

If it weren't for the various forces in the world contributing their respective fortune treasures, there simply wouldn't be enough to manufacture these General's Tokens.

Even a normal person using a general's order wouldn't deploy all nine million troops; instead, they would select key elites.

Chu Wujiang exhausted the white general's token, and the second batch of general's tokens immediately appeared in mid-air, shining with a blue light.

General's Order - Fierce Soldiers (Blue)!

For Chu Wujiang, cyan martial luck was nothing, but for ordinary people, cyan luck meant becoming a hero, able to roam freely in the countryside and become a rising star.

There was a boom.

More than half of the human soldiers had their luck activated, instantly unleashing their killing intent and martial prowess.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Among elite soldiers of equal strength, whoever is more fearless and has a better chance of surviving.

The soldiers suddenly felt incredibly strong.

Fight back!

The human commanders were originally tasked with preventing the human army from collapsing.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Wujiang added a second bit of luck, these soldiers became eager to try and launch a counterattack against the demon soldiers.

"Don't be reckless, continue retreating!"

At this moment, the commander transferred from the Myriad Shark Islands, the Fairy of the Forgotten River who had recently achieved the Nascent Soul stage, sternly rebuked:

"The enemy is at the height of its power."

"Soldiers must not act on their own. They must retreat according to orders and adopt a strategy of resisting step by step to consolidate the front line."

The Fairy of the River of Oblivion is a veteran of the battlefield, having led her soldiers to defend against attacks by the merfolk on numerous occasions, and is rich in combat experience.

After Chu Wujiang confirmed the safety of the Wansha Islands, he transferred her back.

Humans were able to maintain the upper hand in the battles against the demonic alliance and continuously strike their opponents.

One of the key reasons is that the number of experts at the Yuan Shen level exceeds that of the demon alliance.

In this great battle, besides the various prodigies of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, Chu Wujiang's wives also participated.

Snow Maiden, Smoke Vine, Fairy of the River of Oblivion, Cloud Garment, Red Goose Feather, etc.

Those who had no other important tasks have all arrived.

The soldiers longed to charge, but under their commander's restraint, they could only suppress their youthful impetuosity and repeatedly replied:

"Yes, General!"

The human legions held back, offering resistance step by step.

The demon army was uneasy.

How did the human race keep getting stronger?
The Demon Grand Marshal Suhe was somewhat uneasy. He had seen the Qin King bless the Undead Legion with martial prowess, temporarily strengthening it, but never on such a massive scale.

No.

We must notify the entire army as soon as possible and take control of the entire army.

The Demon Lord's Grand Marshal, Suhe, was in charge of the legion from the rear, attempting to simulate the Qin King's command system. At this critical juncture, the Demon Lord finally had a moment of enlightenment.

If General Hogg possesses extremely strong individual combat capabilities, then Grand Marshal Sukh of the Demon Clan excels at learning and imitation.

Now that he has accepted Bai Ge's arrival and is utilizing the divine decree of the Heavenly Fate Realm, he can finally mimic the Qin King's information network and issue commands to the demon army:

"Demon soldiers, the enemy is constantly strengthening their forces."

"We will not defeat our opponents so easily. Any commander who advances must consider the enemy's counterattack."

"Only through patience can victory be achieved."

Sukh originally relied on the Dharma Minister to inform the commanders of ten thousand men, and even the commanders of a thousand men, who would then relay the message down the line.

This is a vertical command chain, which is less efficient in disseminating information and prone to distortion, making it unsuitable for information-based, all-out warfare.

Originally, Bai Ge's divine message could have informed all the soldiers, but doing so would have consumed Bai Ge's precious life force.

Suhe's improved plan now allows him to control the entire army using only magic. While it cannot achieve the two-way control of the King of Qin, at least the one-way control is guaranteed.

War often promotes technological progress.

Just as the Native Americans, when faced with the invasion of Western colonists, mastered the use of firearms in a very short time and engaged in a long-term struggle with the colonists.

Both commanders, recognizing the strength of their opponent, adopted a cautious approach.

Marshal Sukhbaatar's actions cannot be said to be wrong.

But this excessive caution only brought a delighted smile to the King of Qin's face:

"The enemy has become cowardly."

"Your Majesty, he has given us more time!"

The King of Qin had originally prepared to accept a certain degree of loss, but he did not expect the enemy to use a conservative tactic.

The demons, having undergone a blood sacrifice and absorbed vast amounts of flesh and blood, were at the peak of their combat power. It was entirely acceptable for the humans to suffer some losses as a result.

Unexpectedly, the enemy became more cautious, having suffered too many losses at the hands of Chu Wujiang and the King of Qin.

Chu Wujiang also smiled and said:
"Thank you so much."

"Blessing the entire army with good fortune will consume more resources than I anticipated."

Chu Wujiang needed to empower a large number of troops this time, and even the General's Orders seemed insufficient. In order to maximize the effect, he used the Book of Death and absorbed the fortune treasures offered by various forces.

White military symbols and blue military symbols covered the entire army.

Now, with the blue and purple martial arts fortunes at stake, he can only select elite troops to complete them.

Ruishi (blue) and Beiwei Army (purple).

The former endows human warriors with extremely strong breakthrough capabilities, while the latter represents a great spirit of sacrifice and a tenacious fighting style.

The consumption of these two types of fortune is enormous; no one can fully bless the nine million-strong army with blue and purple fortune.

Their rarity is evident from the treasures of destiny that various factions have contributed.

Chu Wujiang could only reduce the target of the buff to about 150 million elite soldiers, and give up the buff to auxiliary troops.

To ensure coverage of all soldiers, he even used up all 2000 points of his purple demonic luck.

This is what allowed all 150 million elite soldiers to activate their destiny.

One day is enough.

The purple aura of 150 million people marks the moment with the most prodigies in the history of the human race.

Even if it's an illusion, even if it's just military fortune.

This was enough to instill a strange fear in the demon warriors.

impossible!
The moments when good fortune smiled upon us weren't like this before.

The purpose of the Beiwei Army is not to strengthen its forces, but to unite everyone in one mind and spirit, just like the Dark Iron Cavalry.

At this moment, the three human field armies were indistinguishable from one another.

In particular, the Beiwei Army also possesses a special spiritual attribute targeting foreign races.

No, don't come any closer!

The demon soldier took a step back.

The flesh and blood offered in the blood sacrifice coalesced into a large mass. Bai Ge, the Demon Saint, only used a portion of his power to empower the soldiers, without using it all.

Even so, having absorbed flesh and blood, they should be unparalleled in the world.

Why do we feel fear?

Thump! Thump!
The human legion stomped their feet in unison, their synchronized steps causing the massive battle line to tremble.

The soldiers became confident and began to despise the enemy:
"General, shall we charge back now?"

The elite army of around 150 million made them believe they could defeat any enemy.

The luck that Chu Wujiang had originally bestowed upon him was temporarily enhanced, making his body seem to possess two identical lucks, as if he had developed his own luck to its limit.

They had never been so powerful. Yuan Dan felt like a Yuan Ling, and Yuan Ling felt like a Yuan Shen.

Behind the demonic alliance lies the sacrifice of over 1.5 million people.

Behind the human race lies the expectation of 10 billion people.

On both scales lies an unbearable weight.

You can only win, not lose.

The King of Qin issued the following order:

"All personnel, listen to my command! Suppress the enemy's momentum!"

"Do not charge; maintain a normal pace of advance!"

"Yes, General!"

The soldiers cheered excitedly. This feeling of being blessed with good fortune was more effective than any stimulant. In this blissful state, they believed they were the masters of the world.

The balance of power has been reversed once again.

The two sides were engaged in the most brutal fighting on the long front.

The human legion received a boost from the completed luck, instantly multiplying its strength several times over.

Fight back!

The two massive armies clashed once again like a raging torrent. Every minute, countless soldiers perished.

Suhe's face turned ashen as he considered whether to use the remaining flesh and blood. In such a brutal battle, the demons were likely to be defeated outright.

"Your Majesty, we cannot wait any longer."

Bai Ge looked at the increasingly powerful enemy before him and said in a deep voice:
"I grant you permission to use the secret arts of flesh and blood."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Sukh breathed a sigh of relief. Through blood sacrifice, they obtained countless precious flesh and blood, which were valuable resources that could not be easily lost.

Generally speaking, there is a limit to the amount of flesh and blood that demon soldiers can accommodate.

The sacrifice of over 1.5 million lives does not mean they were all devoured by the demon soldiers; otherwise, even with Chu Wujiang's purple aura, he might not have been able to defeat them.

Now that the demon race is in crisis again, they must invest more resources.

That's how cruel war is.

When World War I broke out, no one expected that the European powers would ruin their own future.

However, once a war breaks out, victory must be achieved no matter how many resources are invested.

If you lose, you get nothing.

Blood Sacrifice Secret Technique - Infinite Flesh and Blood!
With the help of a divine oracle, Suhe began to replenish each demon soldier with a large amount of flesh and blood, and the same was true for the Demon Saint.

This significantly improved the demon alliance's recovery capabilities and demonic energy reserves.

Sensing the demons' new actions, the King of Qin immediately asked:

"The enemy seems to have run out of tricks."

"Your Majesty, shall we use the power of our peerless genius?"

"Even if it's only half an hour, it will be enough for us to severely damage the demon army."

This time, Chu Wujiang only increased the purple luck level, and the human race still has corresponding tactical reserves.

For example, the Qin King's Undying Army, the Chu Wujiang's Crimson Sky Army, and even the "King's Army," are all armies that can gather the power of humanity and military fortune.

These capabilities would elevate the human legion to a higher level, enabling them to crush the enemy.

Why doesn't Chu Wujiang do it?
Because there weren't enough general's orders.

The entire legion is blessed with orange-colored luck; such extraordinary power comes at an astonishing price.

Even with all the accumulated resources of the Qin kings throughout the ages, all the general's orders were only enough to maintain the army's state for half an hour. This resource was extremely precious.

If the blessing is only a small amount, it is not enough to completely change the course of the battle.

Chu Wujiang exhausted his purple luck, but it only gave the field army a one-day boost.

Orange-colored luck and silver-colored luck are extremely rare.

It is the last resort for the military.

Chu Wujiang glanced at his own luck points.

[Author: Chu Wujiang]

[Luck Points: 300 Orange National Luck, 400 Orange Romance Luck, 500 Orange Demon Luck, 50 Orange Literary Luck, 100 Silver Demon Luck, 100 Silver Romance Luck, 50 Silver Demon Luck, 50 Silver Literary Luck, 50 Golden Daoist Luck, 50 Golden Demon Luck, 100 Golden Celestial Luck]

He currently possesses a considerable amount of orange and silver luck.

However, in terms of the support of a large army, it is still a drop in the ocean.

To use or not to use, that is the question.

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and rejected the idea:

"No."

"I have a feeling that the enemy has more trump cards up their sleeve."

"If we preemptively deploy the Undead Legion or the Crimson Sky Army, then Bai Ge and the Demon Saint will make their own judgments and adopt corresponding tactics, or even delaying tactics."

"Moreover, the soldiers' carrying capacity is limited. Using the power of peerless geniuses now will not maximize the effect of these general's orders and allow the soldiers to adapt more."

"The Tian Ce Army is still on its way. Let's observe for a while and force the enemy to reveal more of their trump cards."

Chu Wujiang reserved this fortune so that he could use the appropriate ultimate moves based on the battle situation.

He's going to make a late but first-mover advantage.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The King of Qin also found this to be very reasonable, so he no longer insisted on the plan to concentrate the time and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop. Instead, he modified the tactics and launched continuous attacks on the weak points of the demon coalition.

He wants to increase the pressure on the demon alliance.

The demon alliance suffered another defeat, but this time, with the blessing of purple luck, every soldier was full of energy and vitality. Even the demons' fortified tactics were easily crushed.

"Withdraw! Withdraw in an orderly manner!"

"Soldiers, let's rely on the fortifications again to resist the human offensive!"

The demon commander looked dejected. He hadn't expected that even after becoming so powerful, he still couldn't overwhelm the humans and was instead driven back by them.

No wonder General Hogg was in despair back then.

Where is the hope of victory?
Sukh couldn't help but shout:
"Your Majesty, Lord Wolf!"

Give us some hope.

Sukhlian sacrificed a large number of his compatriots and even his tribal people, without saying a word.

This is the necessary price to pay for victory.

But when victory seems so far away, doubts will arise.

Both Bai Ge and the Demon Saint fell silent.

They still have flesh and blood, but Chu Wujiang also has destiny.

If this continues, I fear the demons and their people will be wiped out completely.

Both sides are testing each other's limits, rather than going all in at once.

The Demon Saint offered a suggestion:
"Let's add all the magic luck."

"The Undying Demon Dragon still has a large amount of demonic luck on its body. It's time to put this demonic luck to good use."

Bai Ge pondered for a moment and said:
"No, whether it's the demon race or the monster race, they're almost at the limit of their carrying capacity."

The stacking effect of martial arts skills has its limits.

It's unrealistic to expect an ordinary soldier to instantly become a Nascent Soul expert through the blessing of Silver Martial Luck.

There is a limit to the amount of luck and physical strength a soldier can bear.

This leads to the fact that different tactical choices can all be explained.

Knowing when to apply buffs and when to engage in the final battle are crucial tests of a commander's skills.

After a moment of thought, Bai Ge said in a deep voice:
"Continue the fight."

"The demon soldiers have flesh and blood to aid them, so their recovery and sustainability will be better."

"We fought the humans until nightfall, waiting for the human army to become exhausted before launching a final battle."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Wolf Lord!"

The demon warriors can easily absorb demonic energy in their own territory, and even receive the blessing and protection of the demonic veins.

Even if they fall slightly behind, they can still rely on their geographical advantage to resist step by step.

Which will be exhausted first: flesh and blood or purple fortune?

Bai Ge decided to take a gamble, hoping that the enemy wouldn't be able to maintain this state indefinitely.

Of course, Bai Ge wouldn't just let its own people bleed; it quickly approached Mr. Zhen and immediately asked:

"Mr. Zhen!"

"It's time for the army of the Dayong Dynasty to be put to use."

"Our army is fighting desperately against the human legion and urgently needs reinforcements!"

Soldiers of the Dayong Dynasty have not participated in the war to date.

They acted more like overseers, supervising the demon soldiers, which greatly displeased Bai Ge. It temporarily suppressed its idea of ​​a decisive battle, intending to lure Mr. Zhen into the fray.

Firstly, this army of 500,000 can alleviate the pressure on the demon race; secondly, they deserve to die, as Bai Ge couldn't be happier for the Dayong Dynasty's army to be completely annihilated.

This would make it much easier for him to stab someone in the back.

However, Mr. Zhen is an old tortoise. He has been able to endure since the era of the Human Emperor. How could he possibly intervene personally when he sees the Demon Clan suffer a defeat?

Mr. Zhen smiled slightly:
"The demon race still has a population of over 300 million, and its potential is enormous."

"We're only experiencing occasional minor setbacks; the overall situation is excellent."

"Your Majesty, why worry about the enemy? Just keep fighting."

brute!

Although Bai Ge knew he wasn't a good person, Mr. Zhen's cold-bloodedness was truly beyond his expectations.

In Mr. Zhen's opinion, the demon race is not all dead yet, so what's all the fuss about?

They've only sacrificed 8000 million lives, and there's still 3 million left to overdraft and keep killing.

The situation is excellent.

Mr. Zhen believed that Bai Ge had no way back and was naturally not afraid of the other party turning against him.

Bai Ge suppressed his anger and immediately said:
"Mr. Zhen, if the demons are defeated, all your plans will come to naught!"

"If Mr. Zhen is unwilling to provide assistance, then the demons will negotiate with the humans to discuss surrender!"

"The people of the Azure Wolf have shed enough blood!"

The more Bai Ge wanted to betray him, the more he wanted to say it.

This is how we can mislead Mr. Zhen.

As expected, the Demon Saint immediately chimed in:

"It's just a matter of me choosing to commit suicide."

"Since the human race has won, I should be convinced!"

Holy crap, you guys really surrendered?

Mr. Zhen's expression finally changed.

That's right. Mr. Zhen and his group had the demon and monster races under their control, forcing them to fight to the death for them, while the demons themselves also had to resist the human race.

But the current battle lines of both sides illustrate this.

Even with their combined forces, the two armies couldn't defeat the human legion, so seeking a dignified surrender is understandable.

Bai Ge and the Demon Saint's last resort was to surrender.

Although it sounded more like a threat, Zhen couldn't gamble on this, so he immediately changed his tone and said:

"Rest assured, the Dayong Dynasty has prepared the world's strongest military commander."

"As long as he comes to help you, you will definitely be able to defeat Chu Wujiang."

Bai Ge immediately shouted:

"Then hurry up!"

Mr. Zhen immediately said:
"But for him to be resurrected, enough blood and sacrifices are needed."

"Either the demons provide another two hundred million intelligent beings as a blood sacrifice, or we must wait for this great war to shake the heavens and earth, and cause the gods and ghosts to weep."

Bai Ge finally understood why Mr. Zhen had been inciting him to collectively sacrifice the demon and monster races.

Even from a practical point of view, the blood sacrifice of 100 million people is basically the limit, and the soldiers cannot be strengthened indefinitely.

So that's what he was planning.

Bai Ge asked:

"Without a blood sacrifice of two hundred million, how long will this fight last?"

Mr. Zhen replied:
"At least a third of the casualties must be so severe that even ghosts and gods would not be able to bear to look at it."

"War is a grand blood sacrifice, the highest quality blood sacrifice."

Bai Ge continued to ask:

"Are you sure he can win?"

Mr. Zhen smiled and said:

"Of course, he is the most outstanding commander in the history of mankind, [Jin]. The military formation is a product of his invention. He even led his army on an expedition to the outer heavens."

"Neither Chu Wujiang nor Di Qilin will be his match."

All you have to do is wait for his redemption.

Mr. Zhen is an ally of [Jin], who has been waiting for his resurrection and plotting one conspiracy after another, and now the moment of success is finally approaching.

Mr. Zhen added:

"I'm not afraid to tell you, if you surrender, the Dayong Dynasty will still find a way to gather the resources, but you will lose all hope of victory."

The Demon Saint said coldly:
"We are not your bargaining chips."

“If the legions of the Dayong Dynasty do not come to our aid, then we will send our legions first and kill you.”

The Demon Saint is not threatened. Cooperation is cooperation, and exploitation is exploitation, but this kind of purely wasteful cooperation is worse than surrendering to Chu Wujiang.

Seeing that the two cultivators at the Heavenly Fate Realm were determined to send aid, Master Zhen quickly said:
"No problem, we'll send reinforcements right away."

"That's fine, isn't it?"

Bai Ge and the others finally said with satisfaction:
"That's pretty much it."

Huh?
The King of Qin, who was directing operations at the front lines, soon noticed something was amiss: the demonic alliance had changed its momentum, and new reinforcements had joined the battle.

He immediately said:
"Your Majesty, the enemy has changed its strategy and intends to stall for time."

"They probably think that the luck boost to our army is limited and intend to exhaust it to the end."

A war of attrition is clearly advantageous to the human race.

The human race can rely entirely on auxiliary units for rotation.

A conspiracy, or a show of weakness to the enemy?
Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment and said:

"Let the auxiliary troops move forward and rotate the soldiers. The combat troops must be kept in top condition to avoid giving the enemy an opportunity."

"Then investigate what the enemy is doing."

The King of Qin immediately replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The battle between the two armies continues.

As night fell, the Pope of the Temple of the Human Emperor was suddenly given a divine mandate.
