Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

“There is not even a one percent chance of victory,” the man in black armor announced.

The great hall fell into silence at once.

Not even one percent?

Was Blazing Prairie City too strong, or was White Mirror City too weak?

White Mirror City, relying on its fortifications, had no surrounding power that could definitely claim to defeat it.

Moreover, today’s White Mirror City was not the White Mirror City of the past.

Now, the city not only had dozens of divine beasts attached to it but also had hundreds of thousands of organized troops, many of whom were equipped with black armor.

“Elder Hu Ji, could you be, perhaps, exaggerating? Is there truly not even one percent chance of victory?” A black-robed elder not far off spoke up.

The robes he wore were luxurious, clearly products of the Wasteland.

Upon hearing his words, Hu Ji turned his head, his eyes flashing with a glint of sharpness.

“Exaggerating?”

“Do you know that every single one of Blazing Prairie City’s troops is armored?”

Armored, every one of them!

Each one clad in black armor like Hu Ji’s own—impenetrable to swords and spears, unassailable by divine beasts.

“This army of ten million, each and every soldier has cavalry, forming battle formations, before which divine beasts are nothing but wild hares.”

“Not to mention White Mirror City—even ten White Mirror Cities together could not withstand them.”

Elder Hu Ji’s face showed disdain as he turned to look at some of the younger members of the human race nearby.

“Surely you’re not as foolish as they are?”

Hearing his words, those young tribespeople all shook their heads.

They had been to the Wasteland to follow Senior Brother Han and study divine patterns.

They knew just how powerful Blazing Prairie City really was.

“Hu Ji, what exactly do you mean?”

“How dare you, Hu Ji! You control the city’s troops and yet you display such cowardice?”

“Hu Ji, do you wish to become a traitor?”

Shouts rose up one after another.

The distinguished elders of the city stood up, staring closely at Hu Ji.

“How could I, Hu Ji, possibly betray?” Hu Ji shook his head, a smile spreading across his face.

He looked around and then announced loudly, “I will gather an army of a million to confront Blazing Prairie City’s million-man military formation head-on.”

“If they don’t have the guts, then it’s my mistake.”

An army of a million faces off?

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, a hint of a sneer appearing on their faces.

That was precisely the point—delay the march of Blazing Prairie City’s army, so the reinforcements from other forces could arrive in time.

As for Hu Ji and White Mirror City’s million-man army, just let them slowly deplete themselves.

After all, Hu Ji had been growing increasingly arrogant lately—it was time to see his downfall.

A divine beast of White Mirror City, bearing a stone tablet, carried the agreement of the battle outside the city, involving a million-man army from both sides, to Blazing Prairie City’s troops.

Zhu Rong gave the reply that they would arrive in three days.

Three days later, amid the billowing smoke and dust, a million-strong army slowly approached a hundred li outside White Mirror City.

At the same time, White Mirror City also had a million-strong army led by Hu Ji, rushing towards the barren mudflats and wasteland ahead.

“Isn’t Hu Ji planning to surrender with this million-man army?” someone whispered on top of the city wall.

“Impossible, since Hu Ji has decided to lead the army into battle, he will surely fight with all his might—that much he is capable of.”

“What I’m curious about is just how strong Blazing Prairie City’s army really is.”

Strong individuals atop the city released their strength of the soul slowly probing ahead.

Divine Pattern Masters and Ritual Masters were inherently strong in their strength of the soul.

Through the sensing of these strong individuals, smoke and dust pervaded the front, making it impossible to see what lay within.

Was it their own power that was lacking, or was the opposition too formidable?

They didn’t have time to contemplate, as the answer revealed itself.

“Boom——”

Thousands of man-sized battle formations, under the lead of the Ten-Thousand-Foot General’s phantom, charged forward.

Wielding long spears, the Ten-Thousand-Foot General in bright red armor became substantial, crossing dozens of li in a single step, sweeping with his spear.

Behind him, the strength of the battle formation converged, and each soldier in black armor, wielding weapons, and riding cavalry, possessed unimaginably formidable power.

These cavalry charged, summoning phantoms of the Ten-Thousand-Foot General one after another.

Was this the army of Blazing Prairie City?

“Boom——”

The Ten-Thousand-Foot General thrust his spear, and heaven and earth trembled.

Countless streaks of Flowing Light exploded, and White Mirror City’s army collapsed outright.

It happened in an instant.

The Divine General’s march did not falter, reaching the city walls in one step, his long spear slashing down fiercely.

“Bang——”

The entire city wall shattered explosively.

No matter if you were a Divine Pattern Master or a Ritual Master, an Elder or a general, under this spear thrust, all turned to ashes.

The divine beasts materialized their forms, then fled in panic.

Run away or seek death?

In one strike, White Mirror City was annihilated.

This scene stupefied countless observing forces.

“Blazing Prairie—”

“Will prevail—”

When Zhu Rong let out a long howl to the sky, countless calls echoed between heaven and earth.

At that moment, the sky changed colors.

The army from Blazing Prairie City that swept through White Mirror City didn’t pause for a moment, heading directly to the next human city.

It was impossible for any human city to withstand the army of Blazing Prairie City.

After ten days, Jade Good City with fifty million humans declared their allegiance.

What if they didn’t? What could they do?

The Ten-Thousand-Foot General, with a long spear in hand, could imprison a radius of ten thousand miles with a single strike. Not yielding meant the entire city would be directly shattered.

The army led by Zhu Rong didn’t stop, barely rested, then promptly crossed the Bright Mountain River, heading to the next city.

All sides in the Desolate Wilderness watched, utterly horrified.

What they used to overlook as the Wasteland, thinking these humans were just barbarians, they now realized were fierce beasts.

Not a single city could resist.

As more cities fell to the conquering army, the strength of Zhu Rong and the military formation behind him grew increasingly formidable.

This augmentation of their power, stemming from the Origin, swelled their might to the utmost.

Zhu Rong’s mount, the Black Tiger Demon, had now become a High-tier Divine Beast, its aura condensed to the extreme, with potential to advance to the highest Overlord Level.

Of course, in order to become an Overlord, Black Tiger Demon needed a tremendous opportunity.

Cloud Holy City.

This was one of the hundred large cities within the Desolate Wilderness, harboring a population of three billion across its tribes, encircling a massive city.

Thirty million soldiers had already assembled, relying on city after city, awaiting the arrival of Zhu Rong’s army.

Beyond these cities lay an even more majestic power.

One after another, Aqua Kirin.

The Qilin Divine Beast was the totemic divine beast of Cloud Holy City.

Three Overlord-level Azure Water Divine Beasts had returned from beyond the Desolate Wilderness, and there were at least a hundred other High-tier Divine Beasts.

The soaring blood qi stirred tremors between heaven and earth.

If Zhu Rong’s army were to be held back, the Qilin Divine Beast tribes would surge forward directly, crushing the battle formation beneath their might.

A vigorous Qilin transformed into a big man clad in green armor, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.

“I’m somewhat interested in that Zhu Rong. I’ll kill him directly and devour his Origin,” the big man sneered loudly.

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly looked up.

“Boom—”

As the army arrived, a resonant sound came from the void.

“At such a time, who else is transcending the tribulation?”

Transcend the tribulation?

It wasn’t about transcending the tribulation.

Amidst heaven and earth, bolts of lightning descended one after another.

“It’s that Divine Pattern Master from Blazing Prairie City, Han Muye, who has taken action!”

A divine beast shouted, its form expanding into a hundred-foot Qilin, charging into the lightning above.

In the world, only Han Muye from Blazing Prairie City could control the heavenly lightning.

“Boom—”

The endless lightning shrouded the Aqua Kirin Clan.

Han Muye, with hands clasped behind his back, stepped forward one by one within the void.

The infinite lightning swirled around him.

“Han Muye? Seeking death!” The leading man in green armor growled softly, his pair of long spears guiding a stream of water towards Han Muye.

The water vibrated continuously, turning into thousands of water dragons.

The Azure Water Qilin were the Overlords of the Water Lineage’s Origin, mighty and strong. All the waters in the world were under their control.

“Han Muye has always been favored by heaven and earth, but how strong is he really?”

“Overlord-level, or a mighty divine beast like the Qilin, he can’t withstand them, can he?”

“Such courage, daring to challenge the Aqua Kirin Clan alone.”

In the void around, countless soul communications arrived.

Qilin, Azure Dragons, phoenixes, Kunpeng—these were among the apex divine beast tribes of the Desolate Wilderness, each with Overlords in their midst.

Most importantly, their own bloodline powers were mighty, and the strength of individuals within their tribes was formidable.

Each tribe had many High-tier Divine Beasts.

“Back then, the Galaxy Universe’s massacre and enslavement of the Desolate Wilderness was not without reason,” Han Muye, with hands clasped behind, muttered to himself.

“A bunch of fools who don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth; they need a good lesson.”

He slowly raised his hand.

In front of him, likewise, a long dragon gathered.

Water Lineage against Water Lineage!
