Chapter 512 The Frontline Area
One that had never happened before in the history of the outer region—a coalition formed by all the clans and sects. Even when they fought against demonic cultivators, the sects were not as united as this.
After all, not all territories were invaded by them. Those who felt no danger would just watch from the sidelines.
But this time, it was different.
All of them were sure Bai Yue Sect's goal was to completely conquer them all. If this were the only reason, some of the sects might have chosen to bow down.
Unfortunately, all the spies reported that none of the old clans or sects still held any power after being taken over by the Bai Yue Sect.
Their thousand-year history was uprooted, and all the authority figures in those places were either missing or killed.
Since bowing down still meant losing their privileges and lives, they decided it was better to die fighting.
The situation intensified, but Qingwa didn't feel worried at all. Their strength completely outmatched the coalition's.
After receiving reports from MingHao and Zold on their weapon usage, a batch of the dumbed-down version was given to the sect's elite.
The hinged leg was removed, changing it to tires, making it look like a normal tank. But with formations and special materials used for bullets, their destructive power was nothing to scoff at.
With its current strength, a single cannon shot could easily break through a golden core barrier.
Unfortunately, they couldn't spam this as they wished. These bullets were made using high-grade Qi Crystals, making each one very expensive. Enjoy more content from empire
The tank also utilized these crystals for its armor to enhance the effectiveness of the formation.
This turned them into monstrosities that could easily flatten the whole region, but in the core area, they would barely be useful.
But this didn't mean everyone just fought using these machines they called 'Devastators.'
This war not only expanded their territory, but it also turned Bai Yue Sect from a newcomer with many novices to one filled with pride and experienced veterans.
Those who had huge contributions rose in rank, becoming elites.
Their casualties might have been low, but this didn't mean they faced no danger. Casualties still appeared, and with their enemies now united, the battles intensified.
MingHao and the group were also sent to the frontline.
They were tasked to lead the army under Qingwa's supervision.
As for the core region, the situation was more stagnant.
The only thing happening now was that more and more cultivators were coming toward the Bloodspire Citadel.
The new weapons and cultivation methods they sold caught the attention of all clans and sects.
Although most of the people who came were those with limited potential or had already hit their limits, it was still a huge gathering of cultivators.
This put the citadel on the map. Right now, everyone knew about this place, making it akin to a new hub.
Many new things were also introduced. For example, utilizing formations to create realistic environments.
This method itself was not completely new in the core region, but utilizing it as entertainment was something no one had ever done.
The entertainment consisted of mock-up fights that gave out rewards for the winner, making it like gladiators but without the need for bloodshed, or like a sport from Alex's world.
At first, some stupid group tried to take it over, but they ended up getting punished and turned into an example.
After this incident, the situation became calmer, but everyone could tell a storm was brewing.
Many of the new cultivators that came had ulterior motives, but they did it subtly, not giving a reason for Alex's army to do anything.
It wasn't that they couldn't make up things, but for now, the goal was still gathering more and more people to recruit and put them under their control, with many benefits.
Meanwhile, Alex and MingYue were still captivated by the structure they saw. Alex was busy calculating how much it would cost to really build this item.
The material it required was so massive that he was sure it could bleed thousands of qi crystal mines dry.
This made him wonder if the blue jewel planet in the past had higher qi density.
But his thoughts stopped when a voice filled with power reverberated in the area.
"Turn back; this place is not for you. Go back."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Are you part of the guardian clan? The one protecting the rift?
I am here looking for Ying Xue, just ask her."
"Haha, you are funny. I don't know where you got that information, but you are not the first to try that method.
No is no, we are not recruiting any new members for the frontline. And NO! We are not interested in intervening with what happened outside."
MingYue's qi churned; she wanted to attack, but Alex stopped her. In her mind, talking was a waste of time for arrogant cultivators like this.
Put them down first, then they will listen. Alex agreed, but he had a different idea of how it should be done.
"Just ask her and she will come out."
"Even if she does, so what? I am the one responsible for maintaining the gate here.
IF I don't allow you to pass, they won't."
MingYue looked at Alex, her silent gaze saying, 'See what I said? It's pointless. You cannot bait him to make the first move.
He may be arrogant, but he's not stupid enough to get punished.'
'We just need a good bait then.'
Alex didn't respond to the guardian's taunt. He sat cross-legged and then took out a jar of crimson blood.
This was leftover blood essence that he had taken from the silver snake brothers.
It didn't kill them, and they could regenerate, but that didn't mean it was without any side effects.
The snake brothers would weaken, and continuous extraction could result in their cultivation realm going down.
Alex then opened the lid, allowing the essence aura to spread.
