Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 288 All troops, heed my command! The White Tiger Formation...

Di Xiao looked strangely at Xue Dingshan beside him and the many generals who followed him: "Haven't the Grand General and reinforcements arrived yet?"

"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet." The general following behind seemed somewhat bitter, unsure how to answer.

Xue Dingshan scratched his head, "That's not right. In the past, when this happened, reinforcements would arrive at the latest within seven days. But now it's been almost half a year, why haven't they come yet? Although this barbarian invasion is practically a suicide mission, it's still war. Hasn't our Great Tang always been very cautious about war? Why...?"

Xue Dingshan was puzzled, and although Di Xiao had his own guesses, he didn't know how to express them.

In short, the White Tiger army is now under his control. Although Di Xiao's cultivation level is not high, the entire army must obey his orders.

Over the past six months, Di Xiao has been keeping pace with the war, digesting various military books, gaining insights into combat in Journey to the West, and constantly evolving his troop deployments.

It can be said that Di Xiao has made great progress in military strategy. His understanding of the Great Dao of War is also becoming increasingly profound. Although Di Xiao is only a Human Immortal, his comprehension of the Great Dao of War is no less than that of Golden Immortal cultivators.

Therefore, Di Xiao suspected that the reason why reinforcements hadn't arrived was because the powerful figures of the Tang Dynasty wanted him to use this great battle to better comprehend the great principles of warfare.

After all, the Great Way of War is very special among the Three Thousand Great Ways. It is a Great Way that requires leading troops into battle to better comprehend.

Di Xiao had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Fine, if reinforcements can't come, they can't come. We can handle the barbarian invasion anyway. But what I'm most worried about is what this powerful demon clan leader behind the barbarians is plotting." Di Xiao wasn't stupid; things were too strange at this point in the battle. This demon clan leader was either a subordinate of the human race, specifically manipulated to kill for the barbarians.

Either this demon clan Grand Luo has a specific goal, or Di Xiao leans towards the latter.

Just as Di Xiao was pondering, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield.

"This..." Di Xiao instantly turned his gaze to the battlefield. The once vast and boundless battlefield, along with the towering Two Realms Mountain, was now piled high with endless barbarian corpses. These corpses formed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, staining the land inside and outside the Two Realms Mountain red. The stench and lingering resentment emanating from them made it seem like a purgatory.

And within the purgatory, barbarians still charge in. But behind the familiar barbarians, now arises the roar of ten thousand horses galloping, the earth trembles, and the thunderous roar echoes.

Then they saw monsters dressed in armor, strangely shaped, some even with human bodies and animal heads, charging towards them.

"Demon soldiers!" Upon seeing these beings, Di Xiao instantly recognized them. These were the so-called demon soldiers.

The previous barbarian invasions also included many demon soldiers. However, the number of demon soldiers was not large, and none were as elite as the ones before them. Now, clad in armor and riding mounts, they were clearly elite demon soldiers.

The demon general leading the troops, in particular, exuded a vast demonic aura and brandished an axe: "My demon warriors, the real war has begun! Follow me and kill..."

In an instant, the axe was raised, unleashing a vast axe light that pierced through the barbarians and marched toward the Great Wall.

Seeing such imposing presence, Di Xiao's eyes widened: "Brother Xue..."

"Young General, there's no need to panic. I'll handle this..." Immediately, the general of the Crimson Tiger Army drew his divine sword from his waist—a post-natal spiritual treasure. He drew the sword and charged out, unleashing a surge of sword energy, which also carried a martial spirit.

"Boom..." The sword energy and axe light surged and exploded instantly, tearing apart countless mountains and rivers.

Such power has a far-reaching and profound impact, even stirring the heavens.

Taking advantage of the roar, the Red Tiger Army general landed on the Great Wall, his expression turning solemn: "Young General, this is not a demon general, but a demon king. A demon king comparable to the Taiyi Realm!"

"No, not just one. But eight!" Di Xiao's profound gaze, accompanied by the mystery of his double pupils, instantly pierced through the land of the Two Realms Mountain, even as hundreds of millions of demon soldiers emerged. And the seven who commanded these demon soldiers were all the same as the demon king from before.

Eight demon kings, each perfectly transformed into human form, but Di Xiao's double pupils revealed their true forms. They were eight boar demons, clad in armor, commanding millions of demon soldiers, and followed by countless barbarians.

Moreover, the barbarians who followed were all wearing armor, unlike the barbarians who had been sent to their deaths earlier, who were dressed in simple armor.

Clearly, what appears before us is the core of this situation. The previous barbarians were merely used to sacrifice themselves and to wear down the White Tiger army.

Eight demon kings at the Taiyi realm stood tall, laughing loudly to the sky: "Haha...it's finally our turn. The real war is about to begin."

"When we storm into the Tang Dynasty, we will surely devour countless humans and taste their flavor," a demon king grinned maliciously.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Quickly unleash your divine powers and breach the Great Wall!" The seemingly strongest demon king's sharp gaze swept over the other demon kings, causing them to turn their heads.

Immediately, the eight demon kings unleashed their supernatural powers together, causing an ominous feeling to rise in Di Xiao's heart.

Under that ominous influence, the acupoints within Di Xiao's body surged, sending forth endless starlight and vital energy that rushed into his double pupils, allowing him to see more clearly and more.

Di Xiao saw the mountains of corpses and seas of blood scattered across the Two Realms Mountains, as well as countless fallen barbarian remains, and was subtly drawn in. Then, the resentment of countless remaining barbarians gathered and surged towards one place.

"Hiss... That's... that's a blade, a blood-red blade. Oh no, it's the legendary Nascent Soul Blood Blade!" Upon seeing this object, Di Xiao instantly realized this.

This understanding also comes from the military treatise given to him by Han Xin. It describes in detail the battle between the Chan and Jie sects during King Wu's conquest of Zhou.

Therefore, upon seeing the Nascent Soul Blood Blade, Di Xiao instantly recognized it. Upon recognizing it, Di Xiao knew something was wrong and immediately roared, "Activate the Great Wall Guardian Formation! All troops, listen to my command! White Tiger Formation…"

With a roar, the entire army obeyed instantly. Then, the Great Wall hummed, the formation surged, and a black dragon rose up, transforming into a special formation that enveloped the area.

At the same time, the army surged and the battle formations evolved, and then a white tiger rose up, roaring to the sky and howling at the demon race.

But here among the demon race, all the barbarians who had previously perished had been transformed into nourishment, nurturing that special blood blade. Then, the soaring blood demons and endless filth made this blood blade look terrifying.

I understand now, I've figured it out.

The reason why the barbarians kept dying was because they were all after the Blood Blade of the God-Transformation Realm.

What is the Divine Transformation Blood Blade? It is a special divine power used by Yu Hua, a disciple of the Intercepting Sect, during the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods. What makes this divine power special is that it is not only a divine power, but also a spiritual treasure.

Cultivating the Divine Transformation Blood Blade requires gathering the malevolent energy, resentment, and filth of heaven and earth, weaving them together with corpses and flesh, and forging them into a blood blade along with other materials. Then, supernatural powers are imprinted on the blood blade, transforming it into an invisible divine blade.
