"Such a sharp sword!" another tribe's warrior exclaimed.
The deforestation caused by Aria quickly drew the attention of the other tribes in the vicinity—or rather, the tier-7 divine sword drew their attention.
Nevertheless, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman shortly stood in their way.
"We are all humans; we should be working together! What's the point of fighting each other when we should be fighting the demons? Do you want the demons to destroy us all?"
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman interrogates the Sky Sword Tribe, another tribe from Central Region, while facing them within attacking distance.
However, neither side chose to attack.
The Sky Sword Tribe's chief stood on the tip of an ashen tree as if he was light as a feather and gazed at the deforested area composedly without answering the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's questions immediately.
A short moment later, the Sky Sword Tribe's chief finally shifts his attention to the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman.
"Senior One-Eye said that we should be working together to stop the demons? I also think so," the Sky Sword Tribe's chief chuckled before stating, "However, the side that doesn't want to cooperate is not ours, but yours."
"What do you mean by that?" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman frowned.
"You see, I don't believe there is any merit in working together unless our strengths are optimized. Otherwise, it will just be a band of bandits, disorderly and weak."
"So what you are trying to say is that the weak should offer their treasures to bolster the strength of the strong? What a ridiculous excuse to justify robbing others of their treasures. Only bandits would be shameless enough to say something like that."
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman ridiculed the Sky Sword Tribe's chief with a contemptuous look, but the person was unaffected by the provocative words.
"You see, this is why we can't reach an agreement. Even though we share the same goal, we have different approaches," the Sky Sword Tribe's chief replies with a smile before suddenly adding, "Nevertheless, I have yet to attack because I recognize your strength, Senior One-Eye."
"Thus, I am willing to make a concession; if Senior doesn't want us to have the divine sword, then Senior should use it yourself. After all, you are still an Extremity-rank Battle Master, even if your core has been shattered. You have the qualifications to stand with us when we confront the demons."
"You want me to betray Miss Aria and Young Master Leonhardt? Hmph, dream on! Even a wolf knows how to repay kindness and favors, let alone this old man," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman snorted.
"And you must be blind or pretending to be blind if you're going to ignore the fact that Miss Aria just wiped out that foolish tribe that tried to snatch her divine sword. She is much stronger than she appears."
"So that woman's name is Aria. I admit, she is quite a fine woman," the Sky Sword Tribe's chief nodded approvingly.
However, the Sky Sword Tribe's chief shortly adds, "But that aside, the Dragon-Elephant Tribe was foolish and underestimated her. She might have been able to kill them all, but that wasn't due to her own strength."
"Furthermore, the Dragon-Elephant Tribe didn't have a single Extremity-rank Battle Master. They deserved to die. If someone else like you or me wields that divine sword, we would have displayed the divine sword's full potential."
After talking for a while, the Sky Sword Tribe's chief realized he couldn't persuade the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and shook his head in resignation.
"It seems we have no choice but to fight."
"Yes, it would seem that way since you aren't willing to back down."
"It's a shame that an Extremity-rank Battle Master will have to fall here. I pray Senior One-Eye makes wiser choices in the next life," the Sky Sword Tribe's chief said regretfully.
Shortly after, the Sky Sword Tribe's chief directed his tribesmen to kill the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman, "Don't hold back and attack together! We will let Senior One-Eye die valiantly, letting him know that it took ten Extremity-rank Battle Masters to kill him!"
"Yes, chief!"
Swoosh!
The leaves rustle as the Sky Sword Tribe's ten Extremity-rank Battle Masters quickly surround the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and attack him from all directions.
"F*ck off!"
A Tier-5 Buster Sword suddenly appears from the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's interspatial storage pouch and into his firm grip before he swings it with full strength.
In that instance, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's hidden aura fully exploded.
Peng!
The Sky Sword Tribe's ten Extremity-rank Battle Master received the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's spiral swing with their Soul Weapons before they were all struck by an enormous force.
Puchi!
Unable to withstand the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's brute strength, the ten Extremity-rank Battle Masters' bones shattered, organs shaken, and blood sprayed from their mouths as they were sent flying like meteors.
Stray drops of blood landed on the Sky Sword Tribe's chief's face when an Extremity-rank Battle Master flew past him, causing his calm expression to freeze with shock immediately.
The Sky Sword Tribe's chief failed to comprehend what just happened.
The upper strength limit of Extremity-rank Battle Masters caps at 1.5-million jins, but the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's strength went beyond that.
It didn't just go beyond 1.5-million jins; it was at least 3-million jins! Not enough to reach the level of Battle Kings, but it was a full twofold above the level of Extremity-rank Battle Masters!
A Half-step Battle King!
"Impossible! This can't be real! It shouldn't be possible for you to become a Half-step Battle King! Your core should have been shattered for many years now!"
The Sky Sword Tribe's chief hysterically denied the possibility.
However, the truth was before his eyes.
"Yes, generally, it's impossible to resume body cultivation after shattering the core due to the core fragments obstructing the formation of a new core. However, you have forgotten that this old man has the Divine Doctor on his side!"
"The Divine Doctor can even remove the core fragments inside a warrior's head?!"
"Precisely! So allow this old man to correct what you said… The one who should've made wiser choices was not this old man; it was you!" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stated.
