Chapter 163: Chapter 147: Giant Spirit War God

"If we kill these monsters, will we make it onto the leaderboard?" Liao Wen, Liao Huang’e, and Liao Hongyue exchanged puzzled glances.

The Yin Demons were dumbfounded. What did that mean?

Just moments ago, he thought they had been scared silly. Now, looking at the completely unfazed expressions of the three girls, the Yin Demon Commander’s face was filled with question marks. While the Yin Demons were figuring out how to crush the three little girls, the trio remained entirely unruffled. Instead, they casually talked about slaughtering the Yin Demons. It was baffling.

"Haha... These three little things aren’t scared silly; they’re genuinely brainless! Warriors of the Holy Race, charge! Tear them to shreds!"

The Yin Demons realized they had been discovered and could no longer hide their tracks. Moreover, they weren’t far from the Ten Thousand Races’ main camp. Being exposed didn’t matter. As long as they killed these three little girls and then charged into the Ten Thousand Races players’ base with unstoppable force, the outcome would be no different from what they had originally planned.

The ferocious Yin Demon Army moved in unison. Like a black, beastly flood, they surged toward Liao Wen, Liao Huang’e, and Liao Hongyue.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Liao Huang’e and Liao Hongyue quickly ducked behind Liao Wen. They were already used to doing this—hiding beneath Liao Wen’s light of protection.

CLATTER CLATTER CLATTER!

The claws, spears, and fangs of the Yin Demons struck the shield of light as densely as raindrops. It was a torrential bombardment, hitting like meteorites without a moment’s pause.

POP POP POP!

The light shield trembled violently. No matter how high her Defense Power was, she couldn’t withstand such a concentrated onslaught forever. The collective might of a hundred thousand enemies was terrifying. If not for the limited surface area that prevented all hundred thousand Yin Demons from attacking simultaneously, even Liao Wen’s ultimate defense would have collapsed! She would have been instantly killed.

SWISH!

After steadying themselves, Liao Huang’e and Liao Hongyue launched a counterattack. Since they didn’t have to worry about defending and had invested all their stats into attack power, they were able to inflict some damage on the Yin Demons. However, that was the extent of it. Wiping out a hundred thousand Yin Demons? That was completely beyond their capabilities!

"What kind of defense is this?" The Yin Demons were left speechless by Liao Wen’s Defense Power.

Back when Chen Huangbei’s team accidentally wandered into the center of the Yin Demon Army, they were wiped out and sent to their respawn timers in mere moments. Yet, Liao Wen had managed to survive this long under the full-force assault of the Yin Demon Army. One could only imagine how terrifying her Defense Power was.

"Liao Huang’e killed Yin Demon +1..."

"Liao Hongyue killed Yin Demon +1..."

Working together amidst the Yin Demon Army, the trio didn’t immediately collapse; instead, they continuously managed to land successful blows. This made the Yin Demons feel thoroughly humiliated. The Yin Demon Commander glared fiercely, furious at their inability to breach the defense. If they were facing the main forces of the Ten Thousand Races or some peerless experts, it would have been understandable. But... they were being held off by three little girls. It was an utter disgrace!

"Formation!" the Yin Demon Commander ordered, his expression dark.

"Yes!"

The Yin Demon Army promptly followed the command.

CRACK CRACK CRACK.

They grouped up in twos and threes, merging together to form massive monstrosities coalesced from Yin Power. Standing twenty to thirty meters tall, their strength was enough to shake mountains and rivers.

THUD!

The towering monsters loomed overhead, standing half a head taller than the dead trees. They stomped down, causing the earth to quake violently.

CRACK!

Liao Wen’s defense trembled and began to fracture.

"Hmm? This thing... is so strong!" Su Tan had been keeping a close eye on the three little girls. Originally, he thought that with Liao Wen’s absolute defense, the Yin Demons wouldn’t be able to harm them. Yet, this sudden combination attack unleashed such terrifying power.

If just one combined monster was this strong... wouldn’t it be an absolute nightmare if all the other Yin Demons combined as well? Sure enough, the rest of the Yin Demons also fell into formation, merging to form variously shaped Exotic Beasts! Their common trait was their colossal size.

"Hmm? It seems these are the elites of the Yin Demon Army..." the Fat Monk noted as he realized the situation, his expression shifting.

"Elites?" Su Tan repeated the word. Anyone with half a brain would know that a force worthy of being called an elite would be absolutely extraordinary.

"The structural makeup of the Yin Demon World is actually quite similar to the World of Ten Thousand Races," the Fat Monk explained. "They also have a hierarchy. There are common Yin Demons, Yin Demon Cultivators, and Yin Demon powerhouses...

"Among them, the common Yin Demons are just like the ordinary people of the World of Ten Thousand Races; their strength isn’t actually that great. Ordinary Yin Demon Cultivators make up the vast majority, but they’re just a disorganized rabble. They’re exactly like the Yin Demons that the Ten Thousand Races Cultivators fought previously—great in number, but with combat power that leaves much to be desired.

"In the beginning, the Yin Demons only sent commoners through. Although a hole was torn in the prison, some restrictions remained. The stronger a Yin Demon’s bloodline is, the easier it is for the prison to detect them when they pass through the breach. That triggers its Defense Power, and if they aren’t careful... they’ll be obliterated. Conversely, the weaker they are, the less likely they are to trigger the prison’s extermination protocols. That’s why the ones sent over earlier were all just common Yin Demons."

The defensive prison was specifically designed to target the Yin Demon Race. The stronger their bloodline power, the more the prison would resist and reject them.

"The ones with true combat power are the major branch clans of the Yin Demon Race. Their branches are just like the clans, sects, and empires of the World of Ten Thousand Races... They possess their own Magic Skills for combat and unique war Arrays!"

War Arrays? This was the first time Su Tan had heard of such a thing! What were they?

"Wars between Cultivators are very different from the large-scale battles of ordinary mortals," the Fat Monk continued. "Because of physical limitations, the combat power ordinary mortals can unleash is strictly capped. But in Cultivator battles, they can link their Spiritual Power together to form apocalyptic killing machines.

"For example, those from a Defense System can combine to form shields as tall as mountains, planting them on the front lines to block enemy offenses. Some attack-oriented forces can combine to form towering Giant Spirit War Gods. Even if the individual Cultivators aren’t particularly strong, by merging through an Array, their Giant Spirit War God can cleave mountains and rivers apart with a single sword strike..."

So this was how Cultivators fought? That explained it!

Su Tan suddenly understood a bit more. In his mind, he had always assumed that Cultivator wars were just grand individual battles, with people flying through the sky and diving into the earth. It was no wonder he thought that way. In his previous world, movies and shows about fantasy and immortal cultivation always ignored the power of the masses in favor of highlighting individual strength. Whether in novels or on television, it was almost always the protagonist slaughtering the heavens and the earth entirely on their own, soloing the enemy no matter how many there were.

Naturally, Su Tan had brought those preconceptions with him. But perhaps... a real Fantasy World wasn’t like that at all.

"It seems this Yin Demon Army is a legitimate elite force from the Yin Demon side," the Fat Monk said. "I was wondering earlier why the Yin Demons only sent an army of a hundred thousand. Would such a small force be enough? Now the truth has come to light!

"This main force of Yin Demons truly has the potential to sweep through all the players."

Why didn’t the Ten Thousand Races Cultivators emulate the Yin Demons and form war machines of their own? The Ten Thousand Races side was simply too numerous and disorganized. Most of their so-called alliances were hastily thrown together with people from all corners of the world. They practiced different Cultivation Techniques and lacked the telepathic teamwork required, making it utterly impossible to form a Giant Spirit War God.

The alliance with the best coordination was Fu Jian’s. But even they couldn’t pull it off. They had the tacit understanding, but without the corresponding combined Cultivation Techniques, it was a pipe dream. As for anyone else who might possess such combined Cultivation Techniques, there was no way they would willingly share them.
