Dense cracks appeared on the human-erected shield, shattering in an instant. The power unleashed by a foundation-level being's self-destruction was not to be trifled with.
The Turtle Saint, who was suppressing Xu An, was directly blasted into the sky by the force of the explosion, before crashing down heavily. With a gasp, it spat out a mouthful of black blood, clearly suffering severe injuries.
Even with its inherently strong defense and amplified resistances, it was still hard-hit by Xu An's self-destruction.
…
"No, I have to go in."
Outside, Qian Er, witnessing this scene, frowned and immediately headed towards the portal.
They had already achieved significant results, successfully exchanging a Xu Tianhe elder for the Turtle Saint's serious injuries. It seemed unlikely the Turtle Saint could stand again anytime soon. This situation required someone capable of stabilizing the battle, and no one was more suitable than him.
"You… Sigh, alright, be careful."
Du Xiuming reached out, wanting to dissuade Qian Er, as the front lines were still too dangerous. However, after thinking about it, he realized it was indeed the case. His strength could deter the Xu Tianhe if he wasn't on the Floating Continent, but within it, a True King-level Frostbone Dragon couldn't achieve much.
"Bring my other pets along."
After some thought, Du Xiuming decided to play it safe, summoning all his other pets to accompany Qian Er, while he kept only one Frostbone Dragon to protect himself.
Qian Er nodded and stepped into the teleportation array again with these pets, all at least True King-level.
At this time, the Floating Continent was still falling. Frostglory Bone Dragon spread its wings, carrying Qian Er into the sky. The remaining military beastmasters without flying pets immediately left with the wounded, while the dead were placed into spatial backpacks for unified removal. Those with flying pets and combat capabilities flew up, staying behind Qian Er to support him.
Soon, the sky darkened again, and a dense, rustling sound arose. This time, swarms of Xu Tianhe, like dark clouds, arrived, their eyes filled with hatred as they looked at Qian Er.
Leading them were the two Xu Tianhe elders who had been frightened away by Qian Er's outburst.
"Heh, you should know that competing with me in numbers is the most reckless thing you can do."
Qian Er sat cross-legged on Frostglory Bone Dragon's head, lightly tapping its skull, and said with a chuckle.
At this moment, the Reincarnation Banner had fully opened the gates of the underworld, and tens of millions of Yin soldiers flew out, turning the world before them into a desolate battlefield, confronting the Xu Tianhe in the sky.
Seeing this scene, the two Xu Tianhe elders were utterly speechless, their eyes darting away from Qian Er.
Seeing this, Qian Er was certain of his course of action.
He glanced at the Myriad Transformation Demon.
Currently, his other pets were in the amplification cooldown period. While he could use amplification skills at this time, it would damage his own essence, making it not worth the cost.
But the Myriad Transformation Demon was different. As the origin of all, the master of myriad paths, its control over the beast taming world's skills was unparalleled, naturally capable of avoiding this level of cooldown.
The Myriad Transformation Demon nodded, leaped into the air, and transformed. Another Frostglory Bone Dragon flew into the sky, roaring at the Xu Tianhe horde.
At the same time, Frostglory Bone Dragon's body lit up with various colors of light, clearly undergoing amplification.
Seeing this, the two Xu Tianhe elders' expressions changed, instantly trying to stop it, but their wings seemed rooted in place, their faces gloomy.
Truthfully, they didn't want to fight anymore, or rather, they didn't dare to.
On the other side, Qian Er, closely watching the two Xu Tianhe elders' eyes, sneered and then shouted loudly.
"You neither fight nor retreat, what is the meaning of this?!"
These arrogant words enraged the other Xu Tianhe. Where could they retreat to? This was their home!
These people came and tore down their home, sank their land, and now they asked them why they wouldn't retreat?!
There was no such logic in the world!
But when it came to starting a war, the Xu Tianhe's camp was clearly divided into two factions. One looked at Qian Er, their eyes eager, wanting to tear a piece of flesh from his body, even knowing they would die; they were not afraid.
The other was clearly frightened, looking at the Yin soldiers, no fewer in number than themselves, their eyes shrinking back.
Following behind the two elders were several True King Xu Tianhe. Looking at the devastation on the ground, they also didn't want to fight anymore. After all, the losses were too great. The Xu Tianhe had lost an elder, the Floating Continent had been sunk, two True Kings had fallen, and countless others had perished. Most importantly, the Holy Son was gone, and the future was once again uncertain.
Such a great loss meant that even if they drove back the humans, they wouldn't be able to recover.
During Qian Er's initial landing battle, he had directly used those two unfortunate True Kings as fodder.
The two elders looked at each other, looking at Qian Er and the countless Yin soldiers before them, and then looked at the flickering eyes of their clansmen, and sighed weakly.
"Xu Tianhe… Surrenders…"
As they said these words, their beaks trembled. As one of the first Xu Tianhe to evolve, they naturally had pride in their hearts, but now, they had to personally push the race they had nurtured into the fire pit.
Having lived for so many years, they naturally understood what kind of lives the human's affiliated races lived.
But they had no choice. They couldn't drag the entire Xu Tianhe clan to their deaths.
As soon as these words came out, the field was silent, with only the roar of the Floating Continent falling to the ground and the volcanic eruptions caused by the earthquake.
"No! I disagree!!"
In the crane flock, some radical Xu Tianhe were distraught and launched a frenzied charge towards Qian Er.
But before they reached Qian Er, they were stopped and killed by his pets.
His pets were only temporarily unable to use enhancement skills, but that didn't mean their original combat power had disappeared.
Frostglory Bone Dragon swept its claws, killing at least ten Xu Tianhe. This immediately deterred those Xu Tianhe who had been overwhelmed by a surge of adrenaline. They cooled down as if doused with a bucket of ice water and looked at Qian Er with fear.
Qian Er raised his chin and looked down at the Xu Tianhe, finally relieved. He had managed to bluff these Xu Tianhe.
If they really fought, he could wipe out all the Xu Tianhe except for the two foundation-level ones, including the True Kings, but at the same time, if those two foundation-level Xu Tianhe were determined to run away and retaliate in human territory, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
After all, the only complete and mobile foundation-level powerhouse left in humanity was the little red bird, and he didn't know what the little red bird's true form was.
In this situation, he couldn't stop those two guys.
It was completely a base-trading tactic, which was not good for anyone, but fortunately, his bluff had scared these Xu Tianhe and brought about the greatest victory.
