"Ye Mo, Jiang Chen, Liu Jinsha… Good… good… all awake…"
The old man's eyes were no longer calm as still water, but filled with remembrance and emotion.
He could call out the name of everyone before him, and gazing at their faces, his thousand years of guarding experience flashed through his mind with clarity.
After a significant pause,
The once silent and empty Dragon Abyss City was now filled with awakened Beast Tamers.
The weakest among them was Gold Star One, and the strongest was Peak King Rank, at the same level as Ning Bufan.
Despite the differences in their strength, their expressions were remarkably consistent, all marked by a firm resolve to protect the land beneath their feet!
They all knew that the only reason they had awakened was because Shenzhou was in danger!
At this moment, the legendary soul contract spirit in the sky opened its eyes, its soul power vast as the sea, integrating into each heroic spirit.
It was the source of their strength!
"Everyone!"
The old man stood in the sky, his eyes deep, and said:
"I left soul imprints on you back then, allowing me to awaken you at any time in case of an emergency, to protect the Shenzhou Continent."
"Now, the time has come…"
Upon hearing this, everyone trembled, their bodies emitting a terrifying aura!
Tens of thousands of meters away, a fierce beast that had been monitoring Dragon Abyss City instantly shuddered. Looking at the distant city, its heart was filled with unease and fear.
Due to the Dark King's barrier, they could not see the situation in Dragon Abyss City,
But their instincts told them that a life-or-death crisis lay ahead!
Gazing at their slightly trembling bodies from excitement, the old man's heart stirred. He asked again:
"You now have a second life, but my power is ultimately limited. When my strength is exhausted, you will also be annihilated, dissipating completely into the world. Do you regret it now?"
Without any hesitation, everyone shook their heads in unison.
If they truly regretted it, they wouldn't have accepted the old man's soul imprints back then.
"We live for this life, not for the next!"
Xu Cang stood tall, looking up at the old man in the sky, and said:
"Old man, Xu Cang of Huaguo, requests to battle!"
"Request to battle!"
"Request to battle!"
Below, the Dragon Abyss heroic spirits shone brightly, their contracted spirits roaring alongside them with an unstoppable, invincible aura!
A torrent of battle intent surged out, piercing the clouds, causing the entire world to change color, with faint sounds of thunder echoing!
The fierce beasts outside Dragon Abyss City, due to their low levels, had their will directly ground down by this terrifying battle intent, turning them into corpses…
"Dragon Abyss City is alive?!"
At this moment, a terrifying creature slumbering in an unknown region deep within Dragon Abyss sensed the anomaly and instantly awoke, its heart filled with shock.
Dragon Abyss City was originally inanimate, but the heroic spirits buried deep underground had gradually evolved into its soul…
"Good! Good! Good!"
The old man, looking at the people below brimming with battle intent, also felt a surge of emotion. He shouted:
"Today, we commence battle!"
In an instant, the entrance to the Dragon Abyss opened wide and was directly pulled above Dragon Abyss City.
Gazing at the entrance before them, everyone hesitated not at all, and once again embarked on the path of conquest!
At this time, on the Blue Star,
The Beast Tamers who were engaged in fierce battles looked surprised because they had received the old man's command:
[All Beast Tamers on various battlefields, withdraw immediately and resolve the internal chaos first.]
[All withdraw.]
[All withdraw.]
The Beast Tamers were instinctively stunned.
Did this mean the front lines were being abandoned?
Or was the old man giving up?
But after a moment of hesitation, they directly left the battlefield with their contracted spirits and returned to the continent.
Before the war began, the old man had said that his orders must be executed unconditionally, without any delay!
The fierce beasts facing them were equally stunned, utterly bewildered.
The enemy had simply opened their city gates?
For a moment, the fierce beasts instinctively turned their heads, looking towards the Beast Emperors behind the battle lines, awaiting orders.
The various Beast Emperors were also slightly taken aback, but quickly made a decision.
Roar!
The Shark Emperor roared, about to order the fierce beasts to charge into the continent.
Since the enemy was no longer defending, they would have to break through Huaguo!
But in the next second, its expression changed. It looked towards the center of the continent, as if sensing something.
"Wait~~"
It issued a command, observing from outside the continent.
Even though the fierce beasts had gained a comprehensive advantage, it still dared not step onto the continent, fearing being made an example of by the old man.
"Are those...?!"
Its eyes shimmered with light, penetrating the continent's technological shields, and directly looked towards the Longjiang River.
It saw figures of soul creatures radiating blue light stepping forward, exuding an extremely intense battle intent, like dazzling stars.
"It's them… they're alive again?!"
Just then, the Soul Dragon Emperor, standing nearby, was greatly alarmed, its eyes filled with disbelief and shock, as if it hadn't fully processed it.
The Shark Emperor asked: "Who?!"
As the overlord of the Blue Star's seas, it had had little conflict with Huaguo over the millennia, and naturally had not encountered the powerhouses of Dragon Abyss City.
"The human powerhouses who died in battle back then!"
The Soul Dragon Emperor's mind was astonished, it hadn't expected such a method of resurrection, it was as if the rules of life and death were being reversed.
Although it was also a legendary soul-type creature, it was far from being able to achieve this.
"This old ghost's strength…"
The Soul Dragon Emperor's heart became even more wary, firmly resolving not to set foot on the continent.
The Shark Emperor quickly asked: "All of them?!"
Its heart was also filled with shock. It hadn't expected such a turn of events, no wonder the humans had suddenly withdrawn their frontline forces.
"Most of them, and they are all very strong!"
The Soul Dragon Emperor's eyes were solemn, and it said, "The most terrifying thing is that they are now in soul form and fear no death!"
"Immortal?!"
The Shark Emperor couldn't help but exclaim, "No way, how can we fight this?!"
A large group of immortal powerhouses could completely charge in and out of the battlefield, easily scattering the fierce beasts' formations.
"But they do have flaws…"
The Soul Dragon Emperor shook its head and said:
"Their soul power is limited. Every injury they sustain consumes their strength. Even if they don't fight, they will naturally dissipate."
"Then we retreat?"
The Mermaid Beast Emperor beside it asked: "Wait for their strength to naturally deplete, and then we can break through their defenses!"
"No!"
The Shark Emperor immediately rejected the idea and said:
"We have invested too many fierce beasts on the battlefield. Retreating is a major undertaking, and if they press their advantage, it will inevitably cause even greater casualties!"
"And, it's already too late…"
The expressions of the various Beast Emperors stiffened. They looked at the continent before them.
On the Longjiang River, the former Beast Tamer powerhouses, in groups, began to march towards the various battlefields…
