A portion of these individuals were warriors who had escaped from the City of Oblivion.
Their average cultivation level was below the Reincarnation Realm, numbering around 600,000.
The other part consisted entirely of the forces from Clear Water City, as only Clear Water City possessed the strength to undertake such a long journey to the Northern Domain.
When traversing the desert, water was of utmost importance, and Clear Water City… was not lacking in water at all.
According to Little Black, their numbers reached a staggering 3.8 million!
However, 2 million of these were ordinary soldiers.
The remainder were of varying strengths, with the highest cultivation level reaching the Reincarnation Realm.
Those above the Reincarnation Realm were already present.
This old fellow had entrusted all these hindrances to Wei Du to lead!
He himself, along with the people from the City of Oblivion, and having allied themselves with two Beast Spirits,
charged forward like an unstoppable force, with Xiao Zhan leading the way, directly to this location.
His original intention was to claim the greatest merit.
Who would have thought he would encounter Chu Tian here!
After hearing this news, Chu Tian understood that this old fellow intended to fight a decisive battle. However, Wan Baolu had already retreated when he encountered Xiao Zhan leading the retreating soldiers from the City of Oblivion.
As fate would have it, just as he was preparing to withdraw, the people from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts arrived.
To bring such a large number of people, Little Dragon Girl and Dong Dong had both transformed into their true forms to carry them.
Observing the illusory Qilin and the Zhongdu Military Guards, it seemed they had regained consciousness.
It was certainly Dong Dong who, upon awakening, had lifted the control over them and even removed the vampiric corruption from their bodies.
With this thought, Chu Tian couldn't help but gaze at Dong Dong more intently.
He recalled the blood sword she carried, which was something he desired.
Unexpectedly, as Chu Tian looked over, Dong Dong seemed to sense it.
Her eyebrows arched, and she sent a provocative glance towards Chu Tian.
"Damn it..." Chu Tian cursed inwardly. Was this really Dong Dong?
The Dong Dong of the past was a girl who loved to joke around.
She often dressed as a man and mingled within the military camps.
"This kid Wei Jin… is in trouble. Perhaps… his future wife is about to fly away!"
Chu Tian couldn't help but touch his nose and glance in Wei Jin's direction.
"What do we do now? We can't just bicker here, can we?"
As everyone remained silent, Xiao Zhan, that fat pig, said in his husky voice.
"Old Wan, say something!" He was being ignored.
He called out to Wan Baolu.
Wan Baolu merely glanced up at him and thought to himself, "What the hell would I say!"
He had brought his troops here intending to intimidate the City of Oblivion.
More importantly, he was doing it for the people of the Feng Hun Sect to see.
He wanted them to witness his resolve and simultaneously gain the opportunity to reclaim the Seal of Clear Water.
It had taken him a full half-year to travel from Clear Water City to the City of Oblivion.
To his surprise, the news he received was that the City of Oblivion had been slaughtered.
Upon seeing the two Beast Spirits, he identified this green dragon as the Eastern Beast Soul.
He knew that the Southern Beast Soul, Dragon Sparrow, was an ancient enemy of their Eastern Beast Soul!
The moment they met, this old fellow discerned that the two of them were not in accord.
Therefore, he conceived the idea of latching onto them for support. Moreover, if he could welcome the Beast Souls back to Clear Water City,
even without the Seal of Clear Water, his position as City Lord would be secured.
Who would have thought that before his plans could fully materialize, he would encounter this fellow Chu Tian.
Understanding the reasons, he knew he had no chance.
Everyone was already trying to find ways to retreat; he didn't want to lose the strong individuals of Clear Water City and all his soldiers here.
This damned Xiao Zhan was still clinging to him at this moment!
You haven't even sorted out your kings, have you?
Please, just let me have some peace!
This brat is the real king…
…
While Wan Baolu was plotting his schemes,
Chu Tian was contemplating that this journey to the far north had
taken on the semblance of a decisive battle!
Among the enemy Blood Tribe, there was a cultivator in the Void Realm.
His own side also had two legendary Beast Souls.
With so many troops, they could indeed contend with the Blood Tribe.
Furthermore, if this old turtle Beast Spirit beneath their feet could be rescued,
it would undoubtedly stand on their side.
…
As Chu Tian was pondering,
a commotion began to stir in the Blood Tribe's encampment.
Chu Tian was startled and shouted, "Miao Zuo, set up defensive formations to the best of your ability."
Miao Zuo paused but quickly reacted, patting several spatial nodes at his waist!
Innumerable jade talismans suddenly flew out.
"Boss… to set up the formation, I need a large quantity of demon beast spirit stones!"
Miao Zuo also shouted simultaneously.
"Take them." With a casual wave of his hand yesterday, a mountain of demon beast spirit stones was piled before him, all of them being spirit cores of level two and three demon beasts.
These spirit cores were all collected from the beast tide encountered previously.
Everyone present was shocked by Chu Tian's gesture.
The scale of it was too grand!
Although they were only level two and three demon beasts, and the spirit cores weren't of high grade,
the sheer quantity was immense!
"Tsk, what a fuss over nothing!"
"You're just a fledgling, so you're timid!"
"Don't speak carelessly, be careful of being overheard!"
"What if they hear? I'll say it anyway!"
"They're just a bunch of monsters, neither human nor ghost. Watch me go and destroy them!"
"I'll go with you. I was so frustrated being ordered to run last time!"
As the last person spoke, several others stepped forward.
These individuals were all from the City of Oblivion. They exchanged glances with Xiao Zhan in unison.
Xiao Zhan's expression turned grim.
"What are you looking at? If I hadn't ordered you to run, you'd be like those monsters now!"
Xiao Zhan cursed.
However, his words were met with the laughter of many.
Subsequently, even more people charged forward.
"Damn it, a bunch of idiots!"
Xiao Zhan spat on the ground.
…
Just now, the people from Clear Water City and the City of Oblivion were murmuring amongst themselves in hushed tones.
Chu Tian naturally heard all of this and paid it no mind.
Despite their considerable numbers and not-so-poor cultivation, with a portion of them being at the God of War realm,
in Chu Tian's eyes, they were all a disorganized rabble.
In large-scale warfare, immense personal strength was of little use.
Unless they were absolute top-tier powerhouses, such as cultivators in the Saint Body Realm or above,
they were merely pawns!
Here… apart from Chu Tian, only Miao Zuo appeared tense.
This was because only he truly understood what the Blood Tribe signified.
Among those who rushed out, there were over a dozen at the early stage of the God of War realm.
The rest were all in the Nirvana Realm, ranging from early to late stages.
A total of seven to eight hundred people!
Chu Tian looked at these individuals without any reaction.
In fact, he also wished to see the true strength of the Blood Tribe.
Roar…
Just as these people had charged out a short distance, the commotion within the Blood Tribe's light pillar suddenly ceased!
Then, earth-shattering roars echoed.
Numerous roars merged together, causing the snow on the ice surface to tremble.
"You beasts, why are you roaring so wildly…" A God of War realm expert among the crowd.
He unleashed a punch towards the blood-colored array, and a massive fist shadow materialized in the air.
Detaching from the person, it was like a fired cannonball, carrying a fierce gust of wind, and violently struck the blood-colored light pillar.
This individual was indeed quite strong, having reached the middle stage of the God of War realm.
The surrounding people cheered as he unleashed his attack.
