Chapter 809
Five Armies Joint Force
When the various forces in the world saw the defeated Ice King and the retreating army of the Wasteland Palace, they couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that the fate of the Desolate Palace is sealed today.
Upon witnessing the terrifying power of Lin Langtian, the commander of the Heavenly Demon Guards, the Ice King gritted his teeth and had no choice but to retreat.
"You brat, just you wait, one day I will cut you into a thousand pieces!"
Glacier King roared in fury, then quickly shook off Lin Langtian's entanglement. In a few flashes, he returned to the Glacier Army, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and led the entire Glacier Army in a retreat.
"I never expected that the mighty Glacier King would be so cowardly."
Lin Langtian's cheerful voice echoed through the sky, but he acted swiftly, immediately urging the Heavenly Demon Guards to pursue the Ice Glacier Army.
Lin Langtian's voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, enraging the Ice King to the point of vomiting blood. He stared at Lin Langtian with bloodshot eyes, as if he wished he could tear the latter to pieces.
However, he was not a fool. He knew Lin Langtian's intention to provoke him, so he could only suppress his anger and humiliation and lead the entire Ice River Army in retreat.
This chase and escape lasted for about half an hour, spanning a thousand miles.
In this massive pursuit, the Glacier Army also suffered heavy casualties.
This loss drove the Glacier King to the brink of madness.
The commotion during this thousand-mile chase drew astonishment from countless forces along the way, especially when they saw that the pursued force was actually the army of the Earth Desolate Palace, they were all dumbfounded.
Among the top forces in the Qiankun Continent, the Dihuang Palace is considered to have a strong foundation and numerous powerful figures under its command.
However, who could have imagined that the Desolate Palace, which they saw as a fierce tiger, would fall into such a wretched state?
So after the initial shock, the uproar erupted like a volcano.
"Heavens! That's the Ice King of the Wasteland Palace! How could he be in such a sorry state?!"
"The one chasing him... seems to be the newly crowned king of the Qiankun Sect, the Heavenly Demon King Lin Langtian?!"
"That new king of the Qiankun Sect? How is that possible... That Ice King is a veteran powerhouse..."
"There's no mistake. The Ice King looks so disheveled, it must have been the site of an earth-shattering battle. And judging from the outcome of that battle, the Qiankun Sect must have won!"
"What a pity, I didn't get to see that great battle..."
"... "
Hearing the countless shocked murmurs along the way, both the Ice King and the Desolate Immortal turned ashen-faced. However, they dared not linger for a moment and could only roar in anger in their hearts.
This pursuit lasted for a thousand miles.
In the end, Lin Langtian chose to withdraw his troops, because he knew that continuing the pursuit was no longer of much use.
They couldn't possibly swallow the Glacier Army whole. Besides, if they really drove the Glacier King to desperation and forced him to fight the Glacier Army to the death, the Heavenly Demon Guard would inevitably pay a heavy price.
Therefore, after traveling a thousand miles, Lin Langtian decisively ordered a retreat.
The panicked Glacier King and the Desolate Immortal, realizing that Lin Langtian and the others had retreated, breathed a sigh of relief and then carefully led the Glacier Army to land on a mountaintop.
At this moment, the Glacier Army had almost completely lost its morale. The various commanders were also disheveled, taking stock of their losses one by one, and their faces were all deathly pale.
In this pursuit, the Glacier Army lost nearly a third of its elite warriors.
Upon hearing his commander's report, the Ice King's face contorted in pain. His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at the spot where Lin Langtian and his group had left, and he couldn't help but roar, "Lin Langtian, I will never let you get away with this!"
This Ice Army was trained by him over many years. He didn't know how much time and resources this third of the army would consume, but this time, they were all defeated by Lin Langtian.
Adding to the hatred stemming from the murder of his son, the enmity between him and Lin Langtian was irreconcilable!
A murderous intent flashed in Huang Buxiu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Ice King. Lin Langtian is just showing off his power by relying on his Battle Spirit, but my senior brother is also an excellent Battle Spirit master!"
"You mean..." Upon hearing this, the Ice King smiled coldly.
"Lin Langtian, don't think that there are no experts with battle intent in my Desolate Palace. The spirit of battle intent is not your exclusive possession!"
……
A solitary peak stood on the plain. When Lin Langtian, Jiang Yinlan, and the King of Calamity led their army to land on this mountain, they found that the King of Long Spears, the King of Blazing Fire, and the King of Golden Armor were already waiting there.
"Thank you all for your help this time."
Lin Langtian and the other two clasped their hands in gratitude to the three spear kings. If the three kings hadn't arrived in time, they would have been the ones being chased around.
Long Spear King waved his hand and laughed heartily, saying, "As fellow members of the Qiankun Sect, helping each other is our duty. The fact that Heavenly Demon King and Silver Mist King were able to put aside their past grievances and come to the aid of Calamity Palace shows true magnanimity."
At this point, the somewhat embarrassed King of Calamity turned his gaze to Lin Langtian and Jiang Yinlan, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."
Lin Langtian and Jiang Yinlan exchanged a glance and smiled. In this devastating graveyard of crisis, past grudges were nothing.
"It seems that after this, the reputation of the Heavenly Demon King will spread throughout this hunting battle. This spirit of battle intent is not something that ordinary people can condense." The Fiery King smiled at Lin Langtian at this moment, his eyes filled with surprise.
Lin Langtian smiled faintly, but then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "As an established power, does the Earth Desolate Palace possess any experts capable of condensing the spirit of battle intent?"
Long Spear King paused, then stroked his chin and said, "It seems there is one. I heard he was taken in as a disciple by the Lord of the Wasteland Palace at a young age..."
Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow and looked at the Spear King: "That's it?"
Long Spear King shrugged and said, "That's all. This kind of information is generally kept hidden by various forces as much as possible, and people don't know much about it before it's used."
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian frowned. The Earth Desolate Palace actually had a powerful expert who could condense the spirit of battle intent, which posed a threat to him.
However, since there is no extra intelligence at the moment, we can only deal with things as they come.
"Oh, right." At this moment, the spear king said, "We obtained a rare treasure in this devastated graveyard, which can help us discover some ruins, so..." "Oh, a rare treasure for exploring ruins." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian and the other two's eyes lit up immediately.
A rare treasure that can be used to locate ruins on the battlefield of fallen enemies is practically a divine artifact for all the major powers!
With such a rare treasure, collecting the Destruction Source Pills would be a piece of cake for them!
Seeing the three men's gazes, the Spear King smiled and said, "Now I invite the three of you to join us. If we're lucky, we might even find a level one ruin!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded firmly without hesitation.
"Done!"
Instead of blindly wandering around the fallen battlefield, it's better to follow the probes and act purposefully. Even a fool can clearly calculate the efficiency of the two methods!
……
On this vast and endless battlefield of fallen heroes, cruelty looms ever-present. As time passes, brutal battles erupt one after another, where the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—is played out in its most brutal form.
After Lin Langtian and the others gathered together, they began to make the most of the rare treasure, the 'Spirit-Seeking Disc'.
With the full effort of this large team and the assistance of the 'Spirit-Seeking Disc', Lin Langtian and his group achieved remarkable results in just four days.
In just four days, they discovered more than thirty ruins. Among them, about a dozen were below the level three, while about ten were level three, and they even found one level two ruin…
Among these thirty-odd ruins, they obtained nearly ten thousand Fallen Source Pills. According to the distribution ratio, each party received more than two thousand Fallen Source Pills.
Lin Langtian was quite satisfied with this, because when they discovered some ruins, it was inevitable that other forces would notice.
However, other forces usually choose to give up when they see such a terrifying lineup.
What a joke! With several King-level experts here, plus five elite armies, even a Rank 7 Supreme would probably have to go around them.
Moreover, some ruins are also fraught with danger, such as the only level-two ruin they are looking for.
Among them were no fewer than ten ancient fallen beings whose physical bodies had not completely decayed due to some special reasons. Among them, four even possessed strength comparable to a sixth-grade supreme being.
This level-two relic caused Lin Langtian and his group considerable trouble, even resulting in casualties. Fortunately, they outnumbered the group and eventually managed to capture the relic.
Outside an ancient ruin, several large armies stood in neat rows, a sea of people stretching as far as the eye could see. This was Lin Langtian and his men, who had just completed an exploration and were preparing to rest.
Lin Langtian sat cross-legged on a solitary peak, meditating with his eyes closed. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked down.
There, the five armies, including the Heavenly Demon Guard, sat quietly, and above them, a powerful fighting spirit surged.
Those five powerful fighting spirits were incompatible with each other, each occupying a part of the sky.
Lin Langtian stared at the five powerful battle intents, his black eyes flickering slightly as if he had thought of something, and he stroked his chin.
I wonder if he can now control the Heavenly Demon Guards and also keep the fighting spirit of other armies in his grasp?
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian let out a soft breath, then without further hesitation, slowly closed his eyes.
His mind, however, rippled like water under the dark night sky.
Though vision is obscured, the mind's perception is far more expansive.
Under Lin Langtian's perception, five vast oceans of battle intent quietly rippled around the mountain peak, and faintly, it seemed as if countless battle intents were roaring out, shaking the space.
Of the five oceans of battle intent, one gave Lin Langtian an extremely friendly feeling; that was the battle intent from the Heavenly Demon Guard. However, the other four were each coiled up, like dragons and tigers.
Lin Langtian pondered for a moment, then his mind spread out, directly arriving outside the four vast oceans of battle intent. After a slight hesitation, he tentatively made contact with them.
boom!
However, as soon as Lin Langtian's mind came into contact with those four battle intents, it was directly and forcefully rebounded. Moreover, it also unconsciously attracted the resistance and attack of those powerful battle intents, which shook Lin Langtian's mind somewhat.
The first attempt ended in failure.
Lin Langtian was not discouraged by this. After his mind returned to calm, he then spread his mental energy out again.
This time, however, he did not deliberately try to contact those four powerful battle intents. Instead, he allowed his mind to spread across the night sky, rippling out like water, until finally touching those four powerful battle intents once again.
hum!
The moment they touched, Lin Langtian's body trembled violently. In his mind, it was as if countless roars of battle suddenly resounded, and the violent fighting spirit seemed to want to seize his mind.
However, this roar of battle intent did not pose much of an obstacle to Lin Langtian, as he was no longer a novice when it came to understanding battle intent.
So he immediately calmed his mind and let the fighting spirit surge through him. After a while, the roar gradually weakened until it completely disappeared.
At the same moment those roars dissipated, Lin Langtian's spreading thoughts transformed into a fish, swimming along the stream into the vast ocean.
His thoughts finally entered the four vast oceans of battle intent.
He felt as if he had stumbled into a series of raging volcanoes, each with its own distinct fighting spirit and attributes.
For example, the Calamity Guards are heavy with blood and energy, the Long Spear Army is heavy with killing intent, the Blazing Fire Army is heavy with sharpness, while the Golden Armor Army appears even more imposing…
This attribute is related to the characteristics that this army has long exhibited, or in a sense, it is a style of operation that the army excels at.
Lin Langtian's thoughts merged into the raging sea of battle intent, and countless chaotic vibrations of battle intent continuously fed back into Lin Langtian's mind.
If this were an ordinary person, they would probably have been completely overwhelmed by that fighting spirit and would not have been able to stay conscious.
However, it is clear that Lin Langtian is not among the ordinary people.
Moreover, after his thoughts merged into those four powerful battle intents, Lin Langtian did not rush to resonate with them. Instead, he allowed his own thoughts to drift freely within the ocean of battle intents.
Like a river fish diving into a school of fish in the ocean, I try to blend in with everything around me.
Of course, most importantly, Lin Langtian did not deliberately conceal the existence of his will. So when his will rippled within the four vast oceans of battle intent, he also noticed those battle intents.
Those fighting spirits came from the soldiers of the four armies.
Therefore, when they sensed the trace of Lin Langtian's intent entering their minds, countless soldiers from the four armies below the mountain opened their eyes in astonishment, their expressions filled with bewilderment… (End of Chapter)
