Chapter 401: Chapter 397: Ending War with War

“I’ll take this one.”

Demon-subduing Venerable God stood up, took off the Golden Greatsword from his back, and casually tossed it into the arena.

Boom!

As the greatsword hit the ground, it made a massive rumble. Cracks spread out like spider webs from the spot where it landed, even causing Eden to shake violently.

“How heavy exactly is this sword?”

Looking at the large-scale destruction caused by the Demon-subduing Venerable God’s casual swing, transcendent creatures and Beast Masters within Eden were left speechless.

They could clearly see that the Demon-subduing Venerable God hadn’t used any force; in other words, the damage was completely due to the weight of the greatsword itself.

Could any creature withstand the Demon-subduing Venerable God swinging such a massive sword in battle?

The venerable god made a palm strike, leaving a golden palm print on thesword, which immediately began to radiate a bright light. Soon, a large golden gate coalesced in the air.

“My test is quite simple, you just need to come out of it alive.”

When the Demon-subduing Venerable God made this statement, the once ripe transcendent beings, ready to venture and test their skills, were now filled with hesitation.

Demon-subduing’s title as the ‘Guardian of War’ wasn’t given by others, but earned in combat on the battlefield. As the Demon-subduing Venerable God said this, they knew the test would threaten their lives.

However, the hesitation lasted only a moment. The transcendent creatures within the hall then started moving one after another, rushing into the golden gate without looking back.

Compared to the previous two trials, although there was a threat to life or death, the number of transcendent creatures who chose the trial of war increased exponentially.

The legacy of war did not have too many attribute restrictions.

“Trial of War, huh?”

Slightly pondering, Bai Qi patted Beta and said, “Beta, this one is on you.”

Woof, woof?

(You’re giving it to me? But I haven’t digested my food yet.)

Beta was lazily lying on the ground, caringly rubbing his round belly, displaying a thoroughly carefree attitude.

“Are you sure?”

A bright smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face, and his squinted eyes continuously swept over Beta.

Woof!

(I suddenly feel like doing it now!)

A strong intuition made Beta immediately realize something wasn’t quite right. He quickly got up from the ground and dashed into the golden gate without hesitation.

“That kid, he’s getting lazier and lazier.”

Bai Qi laughed and cursed, easily connecting to Beta’s viewpoint through Spirit Power.

As soon as he passed through the golden gate, Beta appeared on a broken city wall. Soldiers clad in iron armor, along with guard beasts, stood ready around him.

Following Beta’s line of sight, Bai Qi curiously peered around. He realized that these soldiers’ faces were quite blurred, and even their body shapes were difficult to discern.

“Did they recreate a scene from the past?”

Bai Qi quickly understood the situation. But he hadn’t had a chance to gather more critical information when beast-like roars echoed from outside the city wall.

Looking towards the source of the sound, Bai Qi saw a black line appear on the distant horizon, gradually spreading towards them.

Was it a beast tide?

Looking at the seemingly endless horde of beasts from afar, Bai Qi felt an overwhelming sense of dread, as if he were actually on the battlefield.

At least, it seemed like a super-large beast tide!

Watching the endless stream of ferocious beasts converging towards the city where he was, Bai Qi began recalling the historical battles in human history.

Dealing with a super-large beast tide was a challenge even in Federation’s history, let alone in the past, when there would have been detailed records.

“From the looks of it, it should be the Battle of Sky City during the Warring States period.”

Schuck quickly searched the database for the most probable battle scenario. However, upon hearing Schuck’s analysis, Bai Qi’s expression darkened.

The Battle of Sky City was the turning point for mankind, transitioning from the chaos of the Warring States period to reuniting as one.

The reason for this was that during this battle, Sky City, the largest city of mankind, was entirely leveled by this super-large beast tide. Millions of humans died in this battle.

“No wonder he said surviving would pass the test, this is like hellish conditions.”

Seeing soldiers around him commanding their guard beasts to begin launching long-ranged attacks, Bai Qi felt a weight on his heart.

Even though this was already an established fact of history, knowing these people were about to die under the beast tide left Bai Qi feeling disgruntled.

“Looks like the Demon-subduing Venerable God also existed during that era.”

As Bai Qi watched the beast tide drawing closer, he said, “Schuck, the rest is up to you.”

“As it should be.”

Schuck nodded, and, summoning the Mechanical Lords, rows upon rows of cold metallic giant cannons appeared, covering the entirety of the broken city walls in seconds.

Was there anything better than the Mechanical Engineering Department when dealing with a beast tide?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gunfire echoed as shells filled with the power of Thunder Flame rained down like a storm onto the beast wave, and red-blue mushroom clouds rose one after the other.

Flesh and blood were scattered, cries of pain filled the field.

The once-mighty beast wave was disrupted by Schuck’s artillery fire, some of the ferocious beasts that had survived the initial bombardment didn’t even have time to retreat before they were trampled into a bloody mess by their confused companions behind them.

Awoo…

Seeing this, Schuck’s offensive didn’t stop, Beta let out a long wolf howl, and the Demon Subduing Mantra echoed in the depths of all the soldiers’ and pet beasts’ souls. The heavy mood created by the large-scale beast wave had been swept away.

In an instant, both Schuck and the other defenders increased their attack rate and strength significantly, completely halting the beast wave that had not yet regained its formation from the artillery attack.

The first wave of the beast wave’s attack was thus fended off.

“Well done.”

Slightly nodding upon seeing this, Bai Qi still didn’t show any intention of stopping. The Mechanical Heart started operating, and a new row of turrets appeared on the city wall, but they weren’t aimed at the creatures below, but rather at the sky.

Under the heavy clouds, some black figures could faintly be seen sweeping past, but due to the massive scale and terrifying sight of the beast wave, few people paid attention to the sky above.

“Although there is no confirmation, the fall of Sky City supposedly occurred so suddenly because of air raids from these creatures. ”

A flash of wisdom glinted in Schuck’s eyes as he ramped up the output of the anti-aircraft guns, unexpectedly tackling the beast wave’s surprise aerial assault head-on.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The bodies of giant birds fell from the sky, the heavy smell of blood stimulating the beasts to become even more agitated. Instead of worrying about keeping formation, they charged directly.

The second wave of the attack had officially begun.

Without the restriction of formation, countless ferocious beasts were consequently trampled to death due to their insufficient speed, but their wildness was increasingly stimulated, and they surged towards the city wall at an ever faster pace.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall immediately quickened their attack rhythm, doing everything they could to stop the progress of the beast wave. However, Schuck showed no intention of adjusting his attack angle; he just quietly continued mopping up the beasts in the rear.

Boom-boom-boom…

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.

Landmines detonated one after another, with mighty shockwaves that directly ripped the earth apart and formed a long trench, blocking the path of the beast wave.

This trench was extremely wide and seemingly bottomless, but it still couldn’t stop these cruel beasts who simply leaped over the trench with a light jump.

To have any effect on the beasts with such a tactical trench, it had to be at least a hundred meters wide.

Awooahwoo~

Just as these beasts were about to cross the trench, a strong wave of spirit power swept over their souls. Suddenly, their eyes rolled back, and they fell directly into the trench.

Sharp spikes and numerous sharp blades filled the trench.

The moment the beasts fell in, they were dismembered on the spot. Occasionally, those with tough bodies quickly sunk to the bottom of the trench due to the falling beasts behind them, pierced by countless spikes.

Beta, having ascended to King-level, coupled with the Mind Helmet, considerably amplified the power of the Spirit Storm.

The second wave of attack was once again blocked by Schuck.

“This boy Bai Qi is a bit too much, how can each of his pet beasts be so powerful?”

Inside Eden, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor was watching the scene that the Demon-subduing Venerable God had presented before him. He was increasingly unable to see through Bai Qi.

Although the Mechanical Engineering Department played a big role, it was still quite an exaggeration that Husky alone successfully stopped two waves of large-scale beast waves with his own strength.

“Indeed, it is very powerful, but if this is all he has, at best, he can only stop the cannon fodder of the beast wave, the main force is just beginning to arrive.”

The Demon-subduing Venerable God watched the beasts in the image begin to split into two routes to bypass the trench and shook his head.

In history, humans also tried this tactic, but the outcome was predictable.

Without top-level combat power present, it was impossible to stop the absolutely superior numbers of the vast beast wave with this method.

Boom! Boom! Boom!…

Just then, a series of explosions resounded in Husky’s vision. One trench after another appeared in front of the city wall, even gradually extending far and wide with an obvious tendency to spread into the beast wave.

“Wu, it appears that your judgment was incorrect.”

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor, seeing the beasts had no choice but to detour due to the trenches, couldn’t help but smile.

Clearly, Beta’s Spirit Storm wasn’t able to last indefinitely, but it was always a threat. Most of these low-intelligence beasts would instinctively avoid these dangerous trenches.

As a result, before the corpses of the beasts filled these trenches, it was difficult to organize a decent counterattack.

“The best way to stop a cavalry charge is, of course, a trench. If one is not enough, then dig another one!”

Seeing the beasts moving according to their plan, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Although Beta was somewhat fatigued from using the Spirit Storm repeatedly, he couldn’t help but become a bit intoxicated at the sight of the battlefield strewn with explosive debris.

Awooahwoo!

(Indeed, explosions are the greatest art form in the world!)

“If we’re talking about a battlefield, then yes!”

This time Bai Qi didn’t refute Beta’s opinion. The most efficient way to stop a war is to fight.
