The Prodigies War

Chapter 1607: Upending the Tide

Chapter 1607: Upending the Tide

Poof poof poof!

Blood and flesh rained down in pieces. Screams of despair laced with shrieks of terror shook heaven and earth.

The world seemed to be experiencing a total eclipse that did not end. The color of blood spread like scarlet ink on a black canvas along with Xia Zhi’s onslaught.

This time, the allied forces of the eight domains were out in full force. Just the number of supreme Saints alone amounted to several hundreds.

Some were at the rear and ensured the entire city was blocked.

Some were at the front, attacking as offensive vanguard.

Some were stationed in the middle of the army as supervisors and backup.

In addition to this, there were numerous True Saints, who led cultivators from their respective camps to bombard the City of Protection from different directions.

But at this moment, the place where Xia Zhi stood had become the eye of the storm of this huge battlefield!

There were always more supreme Saints who rushed over to replace the ones that fell under her attacks, attempting to suppress Xia Zhi with their absolute advantage in numbers.

However, this was bound to be futile!

She was all alone, wielding a white-bone spear. Bathed in the curtain of eternal night, she pressed forward with a destructive momentum like it was a no-man’s land!

Shaohao, Zhao Jingxuan, Toady, A’lu, and the others wanted to help but realized it was impossible to intervene in such a horrifying battle.

Not because there were too many enemies, but because Xia Zhi alone was like a heavenly rift that stretched across the front side of the city, allowing no one to cross!

Each foreign supreme Saints was like a juggernaut with monstrous might, but most shockingly, Xia Zhi saw them as merely a bunch of moths rushing into a flame. Anyone who approached was killed on the spot in a clean and crushing manner.

In just a few moments, over thirty supreme Saints had fallen. Their corpses and blood dyed the sky and earth in a shocking red color.

On the contrary, Xia Zhi had remained without injuries and was spotless. She was facing an army alone, yet was invincible!

“How can this be!?”

“How...how could she be this strong?”

“Is this the strength of someone who’s invincible in the supreme Saint stage?”

In the field echoed exclamations that were filled with anger, fear, and disbelief. The face of every foreign supreme Saint appeared incomparably livid and unsightly.

One of them roared, “Spread out! Focus on breaching the city!”

The City of Protection covered a huge area. Since it was impossible to break through the defense line behind Xia Zhi, they could only scatter again and focus on their main goal of invading the city.

After all, no matter how powerful the other party was, she was ultimately one person. How could she protect the entire city?

As long as they captured the city, the Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators inside were destined to suffer a devastating blow.

Rumble!

The stream of charging supreme Saints immediately scattered and bolted toward different areas.

This caused Shaohao’s group to pale. They could see that the enemy had decided to throw all care out the window to take down the City of Protection at all cost.

Buzz~

Right at this moment, Xia Zhi suddenly stomped on the air and shot up high. Her slender figure was pulling in all the dark power of eternal night between heaven and earth, which elevated her aura to the extreme.

Just seconds later, one shadow after another was split out from Xia Zhi. Each looked just like her and was bathed in the power of eternal darkness. There were thousands of them as they rushed out to different areas of the city.

Using eternal darkness as the catalyst, she transformed into thousands!

That appalling scene shook the entire field.

The most unbelievable thing was that every individual doppelganger was extremely powerful. They weren’t as heaven-defying as the original, but their battle strength was no less than that of a supreme Saint!

“What on earth…” Many foreign supreme Saints were so flabbergasted that their eyes almost fell out.

Some cried out loud in shock, “What kind of dao is this?”

Looking around, thousands of Xia Zhis shrouded in darkness were treading between heaven and earth and packing up the area. The sight was simply hair-raising.

Even Zhao Jingxuan’s group was dazed. Is this kind of astonishing power possible in the supreme Saint stage?

Boom!

The battle continued without any suspense.

But from this point on, the plan of the foreign supreme Saints to scatter and attack from different areas had been completely crushed.

No matter where they appeared, they would all be blocked by Xia Zhi’s clones!

Over a thousand Xia Zhis represented over a thousand supreme Saints. This instantly made the few hundred supreme Saints from the other eight domains look inadequate.

Even though the power of those clones was nowhere near as terrifying as that of the original, they still had a solid advantage in numbers!

“Marvelous!”

Excited shouts erupted inside the City of Protection. Even the supreme Saints like Shaohao and Ruowu were cheering with boiling spirits and excitement.

One person was defending an entire city. It was a miracle!

“Together, let’s go!”

“Alright!”

“Kill!”

Zhao Jingxuan, Toady, A’lu, and the rest also went all out. They cooperated with Xia Zhi’s army and launched counterattacks in the various areas where the enemies were at.

Rumble~ Rumble~

The world was filled with endless explosions and divine light that spread like a tsunami.

The foreign troops whose cultivation was below the True Saint stage didn’t dare to get close for fear that it would be the end of their lives if they were caught in the waves of the battle.

As the one causing all this, Xia Zhi looked ever so calm, not uttering a word and seeming to have no feelings at all.

She roamed the field with the bone spear in her hand. No enemy that she targeted could escape the fate of death!

Blood splattered and the noises of battle shook the sky, disrupting the winds and clouds and taking away color from the sky and earth.

Without exaggeration, this was definitely the most massive and tragic war since the opening of the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Even the supreme Saints couldn’t escape their demise, let alone these ordinary True Saints.

Whether to the Ancient Wasteland Domain or to the other eight domains, a war of this scale was sensational and enough to astound history!

This was the Nine Domains Battlefield.

A place of battle that could affect the nine domains and decide their rise and fall.

Here, killing was the eternal theme, and rivers of blood were a common sight. Such was the case with the first and second domain conflicts.

This third Conflict of the Nine Domains was no exception!

But different from in the previous two, this time, the Ancient Wasteland Camp was rising through the tribulation of blood and fire and finally had the hope of competing for the final victory.

This ray of hope would have potentially been destroyed today.

The arrival of Xia Zhi, however, had turned the situation around completely!

Rumble~

Murderous auras formed an ocean, and dao sounds built a thunderstorm. Blood permeated every corner of the region. This was as if the scene from an ancient battle among the gods had been replicated in this world.

It made even True Saints despair from just looking!

The number of foreign supreme Saints was decreasing at an astonishing speed with the passage of time.

The battle strength of Shaohao, Zhao Jingxuan, Toady, and the rest of the Ancient Wasteland Domain supreme Saints was already extraordinary compared to experts of the same stage.

The reason why they had been suppressed previously was entirely due to the huge disparity in numbers. On top of that, they were concerned with the safety of the entire city, which had put them into a passive situation.

But it was a different story now.

Xia Zhi’s appearance broke the enemy’s siege and gave the Ancient Wasteland Camp a chance to take the initiative!

“Kill!”

At this moment, whether it was Shaohao, Ruowu, Zhao Jingxuan, Toady, A’lu, or anyone else, all of them were glowing with vigor and the freedom of spirits, which they couldn’t have before.

“Kill!”

Roars that stirred the heavens vibrated from everyone’s chests, venting the hatred and enmity that came from their bones.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain had been bullied and suppressed for too long!

Who was willing to be slaughtered like livestock?

Who could forget the humiliation and hatred, blood and tears that countless predecessors had suffered on this battlefield during the previous two domain conflicts?

“Kill!”

Kill until their blood flowed thousands of miles and their corpses formed thousands of mountain ranges!

……

In less than ten minutes, the fighting spirit of the eight domains’ army completely collapsed.

The first ones to be scared witless by the massacre of their own ranks were the supreme Saints. Unable to withstand the terror of death, they fled.

Each one scrambled like a frightened dog!

Seeing this, the eight domains’ troops quickly crumbled right after. Like a chaotic torrent, they scattered and fled in all directions.

Shrieks, screams, and wails resounded throughout the land.

An army in flight was like a landslide. As far as the eye could see, such was the main scene happening all over this huge battlefield!

“We won… We actually won…”

Shaohao, hair disheveled and clothes stained with blood, stared in a trance of disbelief as the enemies fled while shouting like their parents had abandoned them.

The eight domains’ army had deployed their full power, besieging the City of Protection and laying down a dragnet of heavy combat force. In the last several days, the whole Ancient Wasteland Camp had had trouble sleeping, eating, and even sitting still. They had struggled to breathe, feeling as though a boulder was weighing down their hearts.

Today, they had all been ready to fight to the death!

Who would have thought that…

They actually won!

Not only was the danger of losing the city defused, but they also crushed the enemy force until the latter had to flee with their tails between their legs!

“We won…”

Ruowu, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, and Mi Hengzhen…too, were in a trance. They all looked wretched, with blood stains all over them.

But their faces were beaming!

“Kill!” roared A’lu who still wanted to give chase, but was stopped by Zhao Jingxuan because this wasn’t the time for that.

“Hahahaha, we won! Heck, our Ancient Wasteland Camp won!” laughed Toady so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

This battle had been too difficult, too tragic, and too frustrating that it was hard to describe the torment unless one personally experienced it.

Rustle~

At this moment, the eternal night blocking the sky suddenly retracted back into Xia Zhi like ten thousand streams returning to their source. Her thousands of clones also returned and fused into her.

Having won triumphantly, she still looked as calm as ever without any emotional fluctuations. It was as if all the intense killing was insignificant to her.

However, all eyes converged on her tall and slender figure with admiration and gratitude.

Everyone knew that for the Ancient Wasteland Camp to be kept and this City of Protection to be able to continue standing intact, Xia Zhi’s contribution could not go unnoticed!

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she alone had saved the day, killing the enemy unstoppably like an invincible deity of legends!

Who could not be grateful, admire, and respect her?

However, Xia Zhi was oblivious to it all. She only raised her head and looked at the sky. Bathed in eternal darkness, she seemed like she had never fit in with this world at all.
