Chapter 839: Chapter 636: The Ancient Battle_1

The life force of a demi-god could last for tens of thousands of years, becoming immortal.

A being had to go through countless dangers and numerous trials before it might achieve the status of a demi-god.

Having faced such hardships, no demi-god would easily cast aside their own life; to these powerful and long-living beings, as long as they were alive, there were infinite possibilities.

This had always been common knowledge among all beings, including the King of Thunder, one of the three giants from the Silver Empire.

Yet today, right before his eyes, hundreds of demi-gods almost unhesitatingly chose to ignite their own lives. To the King of Thunder, this was incomprehensible, simply madness.

How could there be such a group of people in this world?

No, it was impossible—

"A bunch of lunatics—"

Unable to hold back, the King of Thunder howled as hundreds of sky-reaching beams locked onto him. He thought of fleeing, and it was almost at that moment that a slightly crazed laugh sounded down: "Indeed, we Black Warriors are lunatics, a kind that could make even the gods tremble with fear—"

Amid the insane laughter, there suddenly came a "swish swish swish" from the void, and one after another, figures clad in black armor appeared out of thin air.

The screaming Ada suddenly shuddered all over and looked up at the sky. In that instant, she felt as if time had reversed, as if she had suddenly returned once again to the era ten thousand years before.

Su Yu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes already moist. The Black Warriors, what kind of people were they? What kind of convictions did these strong ones hold? After ten thousand years, many of them must have lived good lives, yet for Ada, without uttering a single word, they sacrificed their lives without hesitation, all to help their Ada destroy a great enemy.

What was Ada like ten thousand years ago? What charm did she possess to have so many willingly follow her, ready to die for her without a frown?

Su Yu looked at Ada, overwhelmed by the scene before him, his heart shaking to its core, blood boiling hotly to the point he almost couldn’t stop himself from joining the Black Warriors in their desperate fight.

Zhang Kuo, Ming Jing, and hundreds of other Black Warriors burning their life force suddenly roared in unison, emitting an exhilarating shriek.

"I say, brothers, if you wish to burn everything and perish together, at least choose a deity worthy of a joint burial with you. What’s this Silver whatever Empire’s what’s-his-name king, merely half a deity... How is he qualified to engage in discussion with my brother Wang Heng? What is this what’s-his-name king anyway? What makes him worthy? Pah—"

The rough laughter thundered, deafening, and below, Zhang Kuo, Ming Jing, and all the Black Warriors cheered in unison: "Third Brother Wang—"

"Ha ha—" This thunderous laughter echoed as the sky, in the blink of an eye, filled with densely packed warriors in black armor wielding black swords. One by one, they blanketed the sky, and in a moment, the void was covered, a sight so staggering it reached its apex.

"Third Battalion Captain Wang Heng, leading a thousand Black Warriors to regroup—"

A furious roar shook the void as the sky full of Black Warriors suddenly roared in unison. Then, each of them extended a black longsword, which, all at once, kindled the air with black flames.

"Black Flame Hell—"

With this rough bellow, a sword pointed, and behind him, a thousand Black Warriors collectively aimed their swords at the Silver Fortress in the void.

The fearsome flames swallowed the sky, instantly engulfing the Silver Fortress within.

"No—" An extreme cry of anger rose from within as terrifying blue-white lightning exploded, followed by the Silver Fortress beginning to melt and disintegrate, forcing the beings inside to flee in a sorry state.

Su Yu’s eyes widened as the sudden appearance of a thousand Black Warriors rained down, jointly unleashing Ada’s Combined Attack Skill, "Black Flame Hell." The terror of a thousand demi-gods’ Black Flame Hell was shocking to hear. One of the three Silver Fortresses, the symbol of highest authority within the Silver Empire, dissolved into a puddle of silver liquid, vanishing from this world.

The unparalleled dominion shocked the heavens and earth; and at a distance of several thousand kilometers from the Hundred Clans Settlement, a strange black ship lurked in the void, with several beings aboard watching this battle from afar.

When they saw the thousand Black Warriors, neatly attired and descending as one, they instantly set the Silver Fortress ablaze, and someone inside drew a sharp intake of cold breath.

"What on earth are these Black Warriors? First, it was several hundred Demi-gods who, without hesitation, voluntarily sacrificed themselves. Then came these thousand fellows combining their strike... Luckily, we didn’t make a move, or else... trouble. These guys, they’re too crazy."

Another voice took over, "Great Elder, is that why you told us not to show ourselves? Do you know about these Black Warriors?"

"Great Elder, you’ve been around since the previous era. Have you ever heard of these Black Warriors?"

An extremely aged voice sighed and said, "You younger generations naturally have not heard of the Black Warriors. But in the previous era, in the fourth century, the Black Warriors were beings that terrified the entire world. Even if today’s Imperial City and our Demon City were to join forces, they could not create the stir that they did back then."

Several light gasps resounded, "That powerful? Impossible—"

"What’s impossible? What you’re seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg. The Black Warriors that have appeared now are no longer the true Black Warriors of those days. Out of the eight thousand Black Warriors, the real elite perished in the previous era’s battle. Otherwise, if those true Black Warrior elites were still alive today, heh, not to mention the Silver Empire and any Imperial City, but even if the true gods themselves came, they would be at a loss on how to handle them."

The Great Elder, upon reaching this point, seemed to recall those distant days, "I was fortunate enough to witness that battle with my own eyes, although at that time, I had no right to participate. Do you know what it looks like when a god falls? Do you know what it’s like to see an Immortal being, ablaze all over, plummeting from the sky like a meteor, piercing through several worlds, falling continuously for days and nights, its light outshining the sun? Heh, you know nothing..."

As he spoke, his voice trembled slightly, as if the terrifying scenes of the apocalypse were once again unfolding before his eyes.

The surroundings fell into silence; they knew the Great Elder would not deceive them. But could it be true, even Immortal gods could fall?

"Eight thousand Black Warriors... alas, the real elite among them are long gone. Those who remain are mere replacements, and though they still claim to be eight thousand strong, their true strength cannot be mentioned in the same breath. Even so, if these eight thousand Black Warriors were to gather, they would still possess enough strength to challenge the Imperial City and our Demon City."

"Ten thousand years have passed, how many of the eight thousand Black Warriors are left? Silver Empire, this time, you’ve really provoked something terrible."

The Great Elder sighed deeply, but there was an undercurrent of excitement in his voice.

He was an elder surviving from the previous era, and now, seeing the Black Warriors that once dominated the previous era resurrect and overshadow the Silver Empire, he felt an inexplicable exhilaration, and within him a fire that had been dormant for too long was burning.

In the sky, a group of a thousand Black Warriors, almost obscuring the night sky, joined forces and in an instant reduced the Silver Fortress, a symbol of the "Silver Empire’s" authority, to ashes.

Inside, myriads of Thunder bolts exploded, and then, a terrifying roar thundered, "Five hundred million volts—super lightning—"

Along with this terrifying roar, a blue-white column of lightning with a range of over a hundred meters struck the ground and the sky. From afar, Su Yu’s eyes widened, hearing the sound and a look of indescribable horror appeared on his face.

"Five hundred million volts of lightning?" Natural lightning was only of this magnitude, and though it lasted for barely an instant in nature, its unleashed power was beyond imagination. Let alone the terror before everyone’s eyes, which could rival natural lightning yet persist far beyond its fleeting moment.

It was a power that transcended nature.

In that instant, everyone saw the ground and the void pierced by the lightning.

The billions of volts of electrical strike continued, instantly piercing the void, a force almost on par with that of the gods.

Su Yu, having absorbed all the power of the Golden Blood and the Dark Heart and converted it into electricity, could now release a maximum voltage of just over twenty million volts. Yet here was the King of Thunder, one of the Silver Empire’s three giants, capable of unleashing a terrifying five hundred million volts of lightning.

This terrible blue-white column of lightning that reached a hundred meters wide pierced through heaven and earth, and the several hundred Black Warriors below hurriedly dodged out of the way.

They had only just begun to release their life forces, preparing to detonate, when Wang Heng, leading a thousand Black Warriors, descended. Knowing they no longer needed to detonate their life forces and die together with the King of Thunder, they began to rein in the power they had just released.

If Wang Heng had arrived even a moment later, once they had released all their life forces and even begun to consume their souls, then, even as Demi-gods, they would no longer be able to reverse the process of exploding and perishing.
