Chapter 468 - 306: Tuoba Yu’s Heavy Losses, a Stunned Gu Yun

Chapter 468: Chapter 306: Tuoba Yu’s Heavy Losses, a Stunned Gu Yun

In a single strike,

the Icefield Mammoth Chief who had charged the fastest, wielding a Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact War Axe, had his arms completely severed.

His charge came to an abrupt halt. His massive body froze in place, utterly crippled.

His eyes were still filled with disbelief.

A second later, blood spurted out.

Intense pain shot from his severed arms and spread through his entire body.

Only then did the armless Icefield Mammoth Chief realize he could no longer fight.

He let out a miserable scream.

His colossal body crashed to the ground as blood gushed like a spring, dyeing the earth crimson.

"No!"

The other Icefield Mammoth Chief couldn’t help but roar in anguish as he watched his companion get crippled in the blink of an eye, completely unable to fight back.

But in that cry, aside from grief, indignation, sorrow, and fear, there was also a hint of lament for one’s own kind!

Because Clans don’t retain memories from a virtual divine war,

Divine Beings like Zhang Yi hadn’t told their Clans about this fact.

After all, even if they were told, they wouldn’t remember anything afterward.

Therefore, the Clans in these Divine Realms treated this virtual divine war as a real one.

So, upon seeing his companion crippled without any chance to resist, the remaining Icefield Mammoth Chief felt the immense gap in their power and fell into utter despair.

As for the Clan from Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm, they felt no fear.

For one, they were confident in their own strength.

For another, they knew that My God, in whom they believed, possessed the ability to resurrect them after death.

Furthermore, they could return to the Divine Kingdom after death.

Thus, Zhang Yi’s Heroic Clan fought with high morale, fearless of death.

"Die!"

The other Icefield Mammoth Chief, now consumed by despair, wielded the second Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact from their Divine Realm.

He abandoned all defense,

activated a Secret Technique, and burned his Life Force, Spiritual Power, and Fighting Qi all at once,

channeling it all into the Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact Warhammer in his hands!

The silver-gray Warhammer erupted with an unprecedented ice-blue light,

carrying a chill that seemed capable of freezing one’s very Soul and a frenzied aura of utter destruction,

and he smashed it viciously toward the head of Eric, the Pioneer Corps Commander who had just crippled his companion.

This was an all-or-nothing strike!

Victory or death!

However, facing this fatal blow, Eric, the Pioneer Corps Commander of Legendary Level Power, remained perfectly calm, his eyes like a still well. A slight smile even touched the corner of his lips.

"The third sword strike!"

Pioneer Corps Commander Eric did not meet the blow head-on.

Instead, he sidestepped, easily evading the fatal attack.

Then, he brought the Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact Jade Giant Sword down in a sweeping slash.

In Pioneer Corps Commander Eric’s hands, the arc of the Jade Giant Sword became a nearly invisible, fine line.

The sword strike bypassed the Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact wielded by the Icefield Mammoth Chief,

slicing diagonally down from his right neck to his left shoulder!

It passed through the Icefield Mammoth Chief’s neck with pinpoint precision.

A massive Icefield Mammoth-man’s head flew into the air as blood erupted like a fountain.

A single strike, an instant kill!

With just three sword strikes, one of the two Ninth Level Power Icefield Mammoth Chiefs was dead and the other was severely wounded.

One must understand, out in the real world,

these were two individuals with Ninth Level Power,

and they were Heroic Clan members of the Beastman Clan, no less!

The Beastman Clan naturally possessed immense Power, and with the enhancement of Fighting Qi,

it could be said that among all Heroic Clans, those of the Beastman Clan were some of the most difficult to deal with.

But today, a member of the Elf Clan, with a smaller and slighter frame, had struck them down from his mount.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without a single wasted motion, and even possessed a unique, beautiful artistry!

Witnessing this scene, and seeing the two strongest Chiefs in their entire army defeated,

the leaderless Icefield Mammoth Clan Army and Icefield Wolfman Clan Army fell into a panic. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Even though the Legendary Clan member from the opposing side made no further moves after striking down the two Ninth Level Icefield Mammoth Chiefs from their army,

the panic had already taken root, and fear spread like a plague.

When Pioneer Corps Commander Eric’s orders, given before he had personally taken action, were carried out; after the two Ninth Level Icefield Mammoth Chiefs were dealt with,

the Goblin Magically Mecha Team and the Moon Shadow Hunter Cavalry Corps, who had remained hidden and had not yet attacked, coordinated with the Magical Tanks and aerial units,

and seized this golden opportunity to immediately launch a counterattack.

With their Chiefs dead and their command structure shattered, and the enemy Clan launching an attack at this critical moment,

their will to fight was completely shattered.

"Run! We have to run!"

"The Chiefs are dead!"

"Retreat to the Divine Realm! There are more troops in the Divine Realm!"

Once one or two members of the Icefield Wolfman Clan started shouting to retreat,

the situation spiraled out of control.

Although the Icefield Mammoth Clan was positioned farther back than the Icefield Wolfman Clan, it was their Chiefs who had died.

Therefore, these Icefield Mammoth-men seemed even more panicked than the Icefield Werewolves, terrified that the enemy would target them next.

They immediately threw down their helmets and armor,

and fled for their lives back the way they came.

Some of the Icefield Werewolves, in this desperate situation, even tapped into their primal instincts and began running on all fours.

Faced with this excellent opportunity, and with the Elf Druids who had transformed into Giant Eagles finding no signs of an ambush in the forest behind them,

Pioneer Corps Commander Eric gave the order to pursue.

Except for a portion of the less mobile Elf Warriors who remained behind,

the rest of the army,

under Pioneer Corps Commander Eric’s command, chased down and slaughtered the fleeing remnants.

「More than five hours later,」

the ambush planned by Pioneer Corps Commander Eric officially came to an end.

Not only had they completely annihilated the Vanguard Corps sent by Tuoba Yu,

but they had also learned about some of the defensive lines within Tuoba Yu’s Divine Realm from the mouths of the deserters.

While crushing the enemy’s morale,

Pioneer Corps Commander Eric had also, from horseback, taken down the two opposing Ninth Level Heroic Clan members.

Meanwhile, their own casualties were negligible.

In the Starfire Training Ground, the students watching the live broadcast on screen erupted into a heaven-shaking uproar.

"Three strikes! Just three strikes! Oh my god!"

"So strong! Is this the Heroic Clan our captain has raised?!"

"While I’m still struggling with how to raise a Heroic Clan to Ninth Level Power,

the captain has already raised a Legendary Level Heroic Clan!"

"The captain is just too incredible!"

Zhao Wenjie, from the Tianya Academy team, exclaimed in admiration, his face flush with excitement.

Already impressed by Zhang Yi, he now felt an even deeper sense of admiration.

"A Legendary Clan!"

"So this is a Legendary Clan?"

"That Swordsmanship is simply divine!"

"Power, technique, speed—all of it is perfect!"

another student exclaimed in awe.

"Not only that, look at the Clan Corps Zhang Yi has revealed.

He has ground troops and air troops. The only thing missing is a naval force."

"I bet even if you added an ocean terrain, Zhang Yi could produce a corresponding corps."

"This army composition is just too luxurious!"

A student from the Truth Academy team sighed in admiration.

"If this weren’t a virtual divine war, Tuoba Yu would have suffered a huge loss!"

"I suspect that this time, Tuoba Yu will have to hand over that Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card he wagered to Zhang Yi!"

A student who had previously wanted to compete for the captaincy, but had been forced to back down by Tuoba Yu’s martial power, said happily.

"..."

The forty-seven students in the Starfire Training Ground, watching from Zhang Yi’s perspective, felt their blood boil with excitement.

Eric, the Legendary Clan member raised by Zhang Yi, had shocked them to the core.

All forty-seven students present, including the two who had entered the virtual divine war to fight against Zhang Yi,

only had Ninth Level Heroic Clans as the strongest forces in their Divine Realms.

To date, none of them had managed to raise a single Legendary Clan.

They had originally thought everyone was at the same level,

but they never expected an exception like Zhang Yi!

In that instant, the gap between them became glaringly obvious.

Lu Mei’s face was slightly flushed with excitement.

Hong Tianyi was so happy he was practically dancing.

Even Chief Instructor Yang’s eyes were glinting with a sharp light.

’This Zhang Yi... the surprises he brings just keep getting better! To be able to raise a Legendary Level Heroic Clan at this stage... the Sequence Cultivation Plan, the trials below the True God Level... they’ll probably be a piece of cake for him. Once today is over, I can finally return that Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact he entrusted to me—the one with the hidden trick. That Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact has been taken care of. The corresponding instructor has also been dealt with. Although the kid said he didn’t want a reward, an incident like this happened with the instructor who was inspecting the plane... I must compensate him on behalf of the University Alliance Training Camp. I just wonder if he’ll be satisfied with the compensation?’

Such were Chief Instructor Yang’s thoughts.

Meanwhile, in the neutral zone northwest of Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm that connected the three-person divine war,

based on the information gathered by the auxiliary Clan he had subjugated with his Stone-men, and the blurry battlefield situation recorded by special Alchemy Items,

Gu Yun was in a very bad mood.

When he saw Zhang Yi’s Elf Clan kill one Ninth Level Icefield Mammoth Chief and severely injure the other with crushing force, with the entire process taking no more than three minutes, and when he saw the overwhelming power and presence displayed by Zhang Yi’s Elf Hero Clan member during the fight,

Gu Yun’s expression became even more grim.

He even looked a little pale!

’A Legendary... Heroic Clan.’

’And from the looks of it, it’s not a newly-ascended Legendary.’

’Its mastery of the Law is already proficient, able to be applied in combat.’

’Combined with that... incredibly extraordinary Semi-Divine Artifact, which is definitely stronger than a Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact...’

Gu Yun’s lips felt dry.

’How on earth did Zhang Yi raise a Clan of this caliber?’

The question plagued Gu Yun’s mind.

But Zhang Yi, at this moment, was certainly unaware of what Gu Yun was thinking.

Originally, when he heard the news from his auxiliary Clan Scouts that Zhang Yi’s Elf Clan had actively ambushed Tuoba Yu’s Clan,

Gu Yun had been a little pleased.

’When the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman profits!’

But now, the intelligence from his reconnaissance had dealt him a severe blow.
