Chapter 1011: Chapter 469: Legions Mobilize
A hundred thousand?
A single battle wiped out a hundred thousand Stele Demons?
Dongfang Chen and Zhuge Yunlan shuddered, their faces full of disbelief, as if their ears were playing tricks on them. Even at the Dongfang Family’s main base, where many top experts and elite forces gather, it would take considerable effort and some casualty costs to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Stele Demons. Yet Ice Extreme Pass had just arrived at the defense area, relying only on over four thousand warriors. Not only did they slaughter tens of thousands of Stele Demons, they did so with zero casualties—this sounds utterly absurd as if it were a myth.
Dongfang Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and once again firmly confirmed through the Sound Transmission Shell: "Qin Tian, are you sure it’s a hundred thousand? Isn’t there a mistake in the count?"
"Oh, no, not hundreds of thousands." Qin Tian’s voice came through the Sound Transmission Shell, calm, without a trace of disturbance.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief—it was indeed a counting error—this is more reasonable.
But the next second, Qin Tian’s definite voice sounded again, word by word: "The total is two hundred thousand and three hundred, just counted, no mistake."
Two... two hundred thousand and three hundred?!
Dongfang Chen and Zhuge Yunlan were utterly frozen in place, their minds causing waves of turmoil, their Spiritual Energy almost out of sync. To wipe out two hundred thousand Stele Demons in a single battle, such achievements are unimaginable for even the top elites of the Nine Great Holy Blood Clans—how did Qin Tian accomplish this?
On the other side of the Sound Transmission Shell, Qin Tian seemed to perceive their shock, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, he slowly explained: "Elder Chen needn’t worry, I have some secret weapons on hand. Although there are certain usage limitations, taking advantage of the Stele Demons’ underestimation of us and information asymmetry, it was just the right opportunity to deliver a head-on blow, which wasn’t difficult."
Secret weapons?
Dongfang Chen and Zhuge Yunlan exchanged a glance, instantly thinking of Ice Extreme Pass’s groundbreaking Armed Armor—that kind of formidable defense and combat power enhancement was astonishing, perhaps Qin Tian had other cards up his sleeve. Their doubts slightly faded, yet their apprehension and esteem for Qin Tian grew even more.
Dongfang Chen steadied himself, speaking solemnly: "Qin Tian, you’ve done excellently, this record is enough to deter all sides. But the commotion you’ve caused is too great, it will surely attract more High Tier Stele Demons, you must be extremely cautious going forward. If you encounter any crisis you can’t handle, immediately report back to the main base, we will rush to reinforce at once."
"Understood, thank you Elder Chen for the reminder."
Communications cut off, Dongfang Chen slowly put down the Sound Transmission Shell, gazing at the lingering smoke in the distance, saying full of heartfelt emotion: "Two hundred thousand Stele Demons... I didn’t expect Qin Tian to give us such a surprise right off the bat. This young man is indeed extraordinary."
Zhuge Yunlan slightly nodded, his eyes full of approval: "At present, many members of my Zhuge Clan are serving at Ice Extreme Pass and they rate General Qin very highly—his talent is outstanding, comparable to the Holy Blood Lineage; tough externally, yet flexible internally, with allies everywhere; internally he knows how to use his men well, broad-minded, generously pouring massive resources into nurturing his subordinates."
Pausing for a moment, he added: "However, the strongest impression Qin Tian gives our clan members is mystery. Someone with not a particularly outstanding background can achieve excellence in areas like cultivation, power management, combat strength, which doesn’t comply with common logic. But this mystery is also his greatest confidence; I dare say that this young man will undoubtedly make a stunning impression at the upcoming Nine Stars Martial Arts Competition, his name will echo throughout the Empire."
...
In the Ice Extreme Pass Camp, the atmosphere was still immersed in shock. That thick vine continued to stretch its branches, hundreds of tendrils as greedily as giant pythons, delving into the scorched earth and fiery sea ahead, absorbing the remaining blazing fire into the vine like a whale, not leaving a single spark.
The flames gradually extinguished, revealing a world of scarred scorched earth—massive craters covered the ground, pitch black, the air thick with heat and a faint Demonic Qi, even the hard stones melted into glaze-like shapes, with no trace of Stele Demons’ remains, only the pervasive faint black beams proving the recent earth-shattering explosion was no illusion.
Many Ice Extreme Pass warriors stood within the camp, looking at the scene outside, trembling with fear. They were acutely aware that if they were in the explosion range just now, they would have been crushed to powder like those Stele Demons, not even leaving bone fragments.
But after the shock, intense excitement and pride instantly swept the entire camp. The warriors’ eyes were fervent, utterly convinced—the world-obliterating destruction power just now must be the means of the Military Lord, with such a formidable leader presiding, who could break through their camp? Following Qin Tian, they are certain they will seize glory and break through themselves at the upcoming Nine Stars Martial Arts Competition.
Qin Tian floated mid-air, his robe rustling, gazing at the scorched earth below, no emotion in his eyes. [Star Core Burnout], his Golden Level talent, unlike other composite type talents, had only one ability—explosion, extreme, world-shattering explosion. Precisely because of this purity, its power was terrifying to the extreme, with hundreds of Explosive Iron Balls chain-reaction exploded, under Tier Eight, except for a few Stele Demons with special life-saving abilities, all others would be blown to pieces, without a chance of regenerating.
Qin Tian raised his hand, his fingertips moved slightly, and countless light spots of varying sizes slowly rose from the ground, these were the remaining Spiritual Energy fragments after Stele Demons died, eventually gathering into a fist-sized orb, glowing with dark lustre, it steadily fell into his hand—this was the Tombstone Spirit Fragment.
