Chapter 585 - 472: Legend of the Human Race: The First Batch of Elemental Energy Awakeners

He couldn’t even beat one Snow Demon.

And now, four more non-human Strongest had arrived. This fight was truly impossible.

’Am I really... going to be utterly defeated?’ Gao Neng tilted his head back, a sense of unwillingness gnawing at him. After all, the Human Alliance had only just seen a sliver of hope after so much struggle.

The battle for the North District had been a resounding victory.

As long as no powerhouses at the Strongest level interfered, victory in the battle for Ice City was practically guaranteed. Who on earth created that Fairy Dragon illusion?

"MEOW!!!" Just as he was thinking this, Gao Xiaomeng let out a sharp cry. She then dropped down right in front of Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang.

BOOM!

A small crater appeared in the ground.

Gao Xiaomeng was sprawled out in the shape of a star, her hair a mess and several pieces of her silver battle armor shattered.

"Brother, I wanna run..." Gao Xiaomeng gave Gao Neng a pitiful look.

"I want to run too," Gao Neng said, tilting his head back.

The battle at the North District City Gate.

Eight gene weapons had been lost.

And just now, another nine had been successively destroyed.

Now, only ninety-one gene weapons remained. More importantly, the losses were still mounting, with no end in sight.

BOOM!

Another explosion ripped through the air.

A gene weapon exploded.

Only ninety left!

"Gao Neng, run! As long as you’re alive, the Human Alliance has hope! We’ll hold them off for you!" Yi Qinglian said again.

"Yeah, Gao Neng, just go!" Shaximo shouted, glancing back.

"Five non-human Strongest... we have no chance of winning. If one of us can escape, that’s a victory in itself!"

"That’s right, Gao Neng, hurry and go!"

"..."

The Dragon List Geniuses all chimed in.

From the start of this battle, Gao Neng had single-handedly managed to hold off the Faceless Snow Demon, and yet his current strength was only at the Seventh Order.

A Seventh-Order fighting a Strongest!

Even if some of the Dragon List Geniuses were reluctant to admit it, they knew in their hearts that if humanity could one day achieve victory, Gao Neng’s contribution would be absolutely indispensable.

"Run? Heh heh, do you really think you can get away?!" the Faceless Snow Demon sneered.

"Snow Demon, look behind you!" Gao Neng yelled suddenly, his eyes fixed on the demon.

"Behind me? A pathetic little trick. Do you think I’d fall for—"

SWOOSH!

A streak of white light shot forward.

The Snow Demon didn’t get to finish his sentence before he whipped his head around.

SWISH!

The white light passed right through his body.

The Snow Demon’s body was 100% elementalized, as if it offered no solid point of impact.

But immediately after, a palm descended from the sky and slammed down on the Snow Demon’s head.

BAM!

The Snow Demon’s body shuddered.

Despite being 100% elementalized, he was forcefully smashed downward by the palm strike, and a few wisps of the white mist that formed his body were knocked loose.

"Qin Lei!!!" The Snow Demon looked up and let out a piercing shriek.

And above his head.

Qin Lei, clad in a navy blue robe, hovered in mid-air.

There were varying levels of power among the Strongest of the non-human races.

The same was true for the Human Race.

And the name "Qin Lei" was one that the non-human Strongest were forced to remember.

Just like that sword from the Beast Race.

"Gao Neng, leave this to us." After striking the Faceless Snow Demon, Qin Lei’s gaze quickly fell upon Gao Neng.

At the same time, several other figures appeared behind him.

Gao Neng had seen two of them before.

They were the man and woman who had been by Qin Lei’s side in the Underground City.

The woman was like a celestial fairy.

The man was like a wild beast.

Gao Neng remembered the woman being called Fairy Liu. Li Tiannan and Sword Elder had been quite enthusiastic toward this Fairy Liu. As for the man, no one had ever mentioned his name.

But that wasn’t important.

Because Gao Neng had already come up with a suitable name for him in his head...

Nameless!

’He has no name, so I’ll call him Nameless.’

’How fitting is that?’

Gao Neng had met these two Strongest, Fairy Liu and Nameless, but he hadn’t seen the other two before.

The other two were also a man and a woman.

The man was a monk.

He was wrapped in a plain white monk’s robe that looked like it hadn’t been changed in ages. It was somewhat tattered, and he was barefoot.

However, though his clothes were ragged, his body was immaculate.

He gave off a feeling of being untainted by the mortal world.

He looked to be about fifty years old.

"Grandmaster!" Shaximo’s voice suddenly rang out. He immediately bowed deeply to the monk in the air.

"Great Sun Buddha." The monk’s lips didn’t move at all, but his voice resounded nonetheless.

’The previous Sect Leader of the Esoteric Sect, Wuxin!’

Gao Neng hadn’t recognized the monk at first glance, but as soon as Shaximo spoke, he knew who the man was.

The Esoteric Sect, being a leading power among the sects, had a legendary figure within its history.

That figure was Wuxin.

Gao Neng didn’t know much about the other Strongest, but he had heard the name of the Esoteric Sect’s Wuxin. After all, that name represented a legend of an entire generation.

This was because Wuxin was one of the few figures in the Human Alliance to have lived through the era of peace.

’When was the era of peace?’

’A hundred years ago!’

Wuxin looked to be only fifty years old.

But in reality, he was well over a hundred.

And not only that...

Rumor had it that Wuxin was also one of the first generation in the Human Alliance to comprehend Elemental Energy and become an Energy Warrior.

’Wuxin... he was one of the members of that trapped squad back then! He’s actually... still alive?!’ Gao Neng had heard of Wuxin, but he had no idea the legend was still living in this world.
