Night Without End
Chapter 538: 313: The Fated Battle Concludes
Chapter 538: Chapter 313: The Fated Battle Concludes
The long night turns entirely crimson.
On the main battlefield, experts of the Sixth Realm begin to dwindle.
“Is the ancient depiction of the stunning scenery beyond the Great Wall, with lonely smoke in the vast desert and a setting sun, actually referring to the grand spectacle of Grandmaster level warriors fighting to the death?” someone sighed.
More people were simply shaken, silently.
A blood-colored “wolf smoke” soared into the sky, then exploded like a fiery divine flower blooming.
As for the originally dark and heavy clouds, they had long been shattered, and the infinite sky was dyed red as if the sunset that had disappeared for thousands of years had returned.
Many people’s heartstrings tightened as they watched the core of the battlefield. In just a short moment, at least six or seven Grandmaster-level figures fell one after another.
In that beautiful yet tragic red glow, a massive Exotic Bird spread its wings, attempting to soar into the sky, yet it couldn’t break free from the shackles of this world, as all directions were sealed.
Someone hurled a cyan long spear, twisting space, catching up from behind and impaling it under the vast sky.
In the “sunset,” its feathers fluttered, each stained with blood, as this Sixth Realm expert wailed, the ancestor of the Hunting Civilization spilled endless blood, unable to take flight.
“Sunset and lone duck fly together, the autumn water is of the same color as the long sky. Is this also depicting the scene of a Grandmaster-level expert shedding blood across the sky? It’s truly a tragically beautiful sight,” the earlier person sighed again.
Who appreciates such a perverse beauty? Many people turned their heads and saw a dangerous tomb, and on a mound sat an old woman whose teeth had all fallen out.
In an instant, everyone’s hairs stood on end. No matter how they looked at her, she did not seem normal. When did such a master arrive, and how did she sit on the tomb where it was sealed?
At a critical moment, twelve of the thirty-six Heaven Suppressing Divine Pillars from all directions shot out Immortal Light, and twelve clusters of immortal fire fell on the tomb. The old woman sighed, twisted, blurred, and then dissipated. The last bit of brilliance merged into the tomb.
Evidently, the Ancestor Masters arranged this set of Big Killers not only to seal heaven and earth but also to guard against disturbances from the Immortal Tomb.
Many people shivered subconsciously. The battle here is complex; even though the destined confrontation with the Hunting Civilization is nearing its end, carelessness cannot be afforded.
“Old man fights to the death with you!”
In the night sky, a majestic figure like a lion roared, divine light shot out from every pore of his body, and his spirit mixed with blood energy boiled, expanding in all directions, covering this land.
A leader of the Hunting Civilization, the Golden Lion, wanted to perish together with an opponent, dragging them down the road to death.
However, with so many Ancestors from the Immortal Road, Newborn Road, and Esoteric Buddhism present, how could they let him succeed?
Sounds of chanting resounded as complex patterns spread across the night sky. His pupils widened, and his whole body froze, with his spirit ceasing to flow smoothly.
Soon after, he saw Leng Mingkong pointing from across the sky, like a beam of light descending from the Outer Domain to pierce through.
“Ah…” The Golden Lion screamed miserably as his forehead was shattered by that beam.
Then, Leng Mingkong continuously executed the Immortal Slaying Finger. In the night sky, it was as if immortal swords flew out one after another, weaving a network of light.
The Golden Lion was pierced through and then sliced apart, even his Spiritual Field shattered. No matter how many times he reassembled, it was of no use, repeatedly crushed until he was erased.
A faint golden blood mist exploded, like a blood-colored storm sweeping across the celestial sky.
In the distance, the runes engraved on the thirty-six Heaven Suppressing Divine Pillars flickered, attracting the blood mist from every corner, making the divine pillars more crystalline, transparent, and mysterious.
Someone murmured, “Fighting war with war, refining divine stakes with sacrifice, this forbidden item can only be used this way to ensure the most safety.”
The Golden Lion, one of the top leaders of the Hunting Civilization, perished in battle. This death struck other hunters with an emotional storm, making them feel as if doomsday was upon them.
The Two Headed Werewolf struggled in the night sky, covered in arrow holes. He repaired his body multiple times, but some wounds simply could not heal.
Helian Chengyun shot the final arrow like a shocking Divine Rainbow, shattering the ancestor of the Two headed Wolfman Clan. This time, the old wolf could not manifest again.
Even an Ancestor Master, there is a limit to how quickly they can recombine their consciousness after multiple kills. The final heartrending wolf howl in the Desert and then his complete demise.
That howl carried despair, causing many young hunters to sway and their spirits to plummet.
In the Ancestor Master Battlefield, living or dying defines success or failure.
An elderly black-haired man, another leader of the Hunting Civilization, found his body torn into countless pieces, attempting to self-destruct and make his opponent suffer as well.
However, he realized it was futile.
A Soul Stabilizing Bell descended, covering him. His mind felt as if frozen, no longer active, standing there numb.
An elder of Esoteric Buddhism, standing on a black altar in the Void, seriously performed a ritual sacrifice on his opponent.
“Ah…”
Only at the last moment did the black-haired leader of the Hunting Civilization realize it was hopeless, struggling fruitlessly, watching himself drained of spirit and then appearing on the black altar, burning fiercely.
An angry giant roared, transforming into The Immortal of Colossal Spirit, seemingly wanting to tear apart this world, yet despite having the ambition to swallow rivers and mountains, he lacked the supreme strength to overlook the world.
He was repeatedly shattered by Heavenly Light poured down by the present Buddha, and eventually, even his Spiritual Field collapsed multiple times, leading to his ultimate demise as a vast blood mist floated toward the thirty-six Heaven Suppressing Divine Pillars.
In the desert, a cord densely covered with golden runes rushed towards the night sky, capturing a Sixth Realm green-eyed hunter alive and dragging them down.
On another side, Lu Zizai moved, honing his fist light in the Ancestor Master Battlefield, exploring and perfecting his rebirth system.
“You…” His opponent was a Sixth Realm Feathered Snake, shocked and furious, feeling that its opponent was not yet an Ancestor Master, yet was able to injure it.
To it, this was a great disgrace. Could it be that it would be overthrown by a Grandmaster?
Its massive body, like that of a dragon, coiled in the Void, then suddenly shot forth, attempting to lock onto the young man in coarse linen.
“Pfft!”
Suddenly, it felt a sharp pain in its chest.
Within its heart, a cluster of Heavenly Light resurged, eternally vital, with the radiance of a fist, never fading, blooming like an immortal flower, layer upon layer, tearing it apart.
“A Grandmaster can severely injure me?” The Feathered Snake found it hard to believe, feeling the world was so unreal.
“A newly-promoted Sixth Realm Feathered Snake, you are somewhat weak.” Lu Zizai said calmly.
The Spiritual Field of the Feathered Snake roared, looked down upon by a lower-ranked being, and yet, the other did not intend to mock or humiliate it.
But the more real this was, the more it felt choked inside, raising its head to slaughter its opponent.
Pfft!
In this region, large amounts of snake blood splattered, staining the sky red.
Even some Sixth Realm old monsters glanced sideways, revealing strange expressions. Was Lu Zizai confronting an Ancestor Master at the level of a Grandmaster? And planning to slay it!
Lu Zizai was indifferent, having reached this level today, even if someone had plans against him, they would fail. Even if defeated, he could escape far away.
In a sense, as this Supreme Grandmaster, the world was already within his reach.
An old senior called out, “The Ancestor Master has already crafted a prototype, beginning to eliminate opponents. What are you all waiting for? This battle should come to an end.”
“Kill!”
Immediately, cries of battle shook the Desert from all directions.
People from the Newborn Road, Esoteric Buddhism, and the Immortal Road, with high spirits, knowing the upper hand was secured, only needed to bravely advance for the final hunt.
Many Hunters were ashen-faced, having become prey themselves today, they who had brought disaster to other tribes and civilizations.
Now, the blood calamity fell upon their own homes.
The key was, the “wandering” in hunting was useless here, as the Desert battlefield was sealed by the Heaven Suppressing Divine Pillars, not even an Ancestor Master could break through.
Qin Ming forced the Fire Lizard out and directly attacked, amidst the sword light, red scales flew, and slightly fragrant blood spurted out.
Those with strange blood are extraordinary beings, their strength far surpassing their peers.
However, when the Fire Lizard encountered Qin Ming, its fate was already sealed.
Pfft!
The Fire Lizard was cut in half at the waist, some of its blood with dazzling brilliance, like the lid of a Medicine Furnace just opened, an intense fragrance overwhelming the air.
Qin Ming collected the strange blood into the Jade Box, temporarily sealing it away.
Wu Yaizu charged in, his face full of excitement, saying, “Brother Ming, did you clear out your side? Let me tell you, Da Xiang and I hunted a good thing, a Little Flood Dragon, already fully formed, definitely not a snake. This species is rare, a great tonic, we’ll have Flood Dragon hotpot later, refine our bodies and skills!”
Qin Ming reminded, “There might be strange blood inside, don’t miss it, it’s equivalent to a furnace of treasure medicine!”
As the battle neared its end, the surviving Hunters were naturally the tough ones, launching a frenzied counterattack, making the fight even bloodier.
During this process, Immortal Seeds perished, Divine Seeds faced life-and-death tribulations, and exotic beings of the Five Elements Palace and Six Imperial Ancestor Court also died in battle.
In the Grandmaster’s battlefield, masters from all paths fell.
Despite having the advantage, in such large-scale bloody battles, it was unavoidable that some powerful figures unexpectedly perished.
Some people could have had bright futures but wilted too early.
Li Qingxu was swung away by a giant youth at the great perfection stage of the Third Realm wielding the Ten Thousand Jins Iron Rod, his whole body with over thirty bones broken, nearly dying.
Su Shiyun was pierced through the chest by an arrow, with a corner of her heart’s edge torn open, greatly injuring her Primordial Qi, and without a period of rest, she couldn’t recover.
Pei Shuyan’s scapula was shattered, besieged by super seeds from the Hunting Civilization, almost dying in battle.
Even Helian ZhaoYu was in trouble, knocked away by an old rhinoceros gone berserk in despair, his chest caved in.
Qin Ming was also heavily injured, seen by many hunters as a thorn in their side, and in the final chaos, not only did Third Realm experts gather to hunt him, but Fourth Realm old veterans also charged in.
Luckily, the Thunder King Bird was fast enough, allowing him to break free from the death Quagmire in the chaotic blood battle, though he couldn’t stop coughing up large amounts of blood.
A strike from afar broke two of his ribs, and more so, a Rune Big Bell exploded near him, blasting him and the Thunder King Bird over a hundred meters away.
Looking around, the Desert was filled with blood, bodies everywhere.
Relatively speaking, the casualties of the Immortal Road, Esoteric Buddhism, and Newborn Road were completely acceptable, as in this predestined confrontation, all elite Hunters from the Hunting Civilization were exterminated.
