By the time Ye Lin arrived at the battlefield, it was a scene of utter devastation.
The Human Race was retreating steadily, and the Yao Beast hordes were charging recklessly, leaving the Human Race forces with no power to resist.
The number of Yao Beasts had noticeably decreased, but combined, they were still not to be underestimated.
"Damn it, abandon the third defense line, retreat."
Seeing this, Jian Wushuang immediately ordered.
He never expected to hold them off. After all, with such a vast numerical difference, if they were truly capable of slaying all the Yao Beasts, the Human Race wouldn't have been oppressed by the Yao Race for millions of years.
Upon hearing Jian Wushuang's command, the other Cultivators felt as if they had received a great pardon, and immediately began to flee.
They had been struggling, waiting precisely for Jian Wushuang's words.
A large number of Cultivators began to leave the battlefield, while some Cultivators went into the formations, swiftly retreating with unconscious Alchemists.
After all, Alchemists were rarer than Cultivators; they were treasures. Alchemists were as rare as giant pandas in the Cultivation world, and the loss of even one was a tremendous blow.
Moreover, even a Great Ascension Stage Half-Immortal would try to curry favor with a high-level Alchemist.
As the Human Race began to retreat, Ye Lin followed behind the retreating crowd.
After all, the Yao Beast horde was so massive; he wasn't arrogant enough to single-handedly block a million Yao Beasts.
Without the Human Race's obstruction, the Yao Beast horde seemed divinely aided, each one charging forward as if in a frenzy.
They also knew that once this third line of defense was broken, the Human Race would no longer have any significant resistance.
What awaited them would be an endless supply of blood-food, a feast for them.
Jian Wushuang walked at the very front, with a large group of Cultivators following closely behind him.
Upon reaching a large mountain, Jian Wushuang finally stopped.
"Alright, Fellow Daoists, let's rest here."
After Jian Wushuang finished speaking, the remaining Cultivators exchanged glances.
If they rested here, the Yao Beast horde would be right behind them, and in a few minutes, the Yao Beast horde would arrive.
Were they going to fight to the death after only a few minutes of rest?
Then, the Cultivators gritted their teeth, took out their treasured items that they had kept for many years, and swallowed them, striving to fully recover to their Peak state within a few minutes.
If it was a fight to the death, then so be it. Who was afraid of whom?
Meanwhile, Ye Lin came to Jian Wushuang's side, looking into the distance.
"You've probably already guessed something, haven't you?"
After a long moment, Jian Wushuang spoke.
"I've guessed some things, but doing this will likely cause these Cultivators to lose heart. The number of Cultivators who will die this time will probably not be small."
"Eighty thousand Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators died, and five hundred and sixty thousand Golden Core Stage Cultivators died."
After Jian Wushuang finished speaking, Ye Lin was startled. Such a massive loss?
"However, this battle also clearly shows that we still don't have the strength to fight the Yao Race. We struggled so much with just a probing attack from the Yao Beasts."
"Then, when a full-scale war begins, I fear that the Human Race's millions of years of Foundation will be destroyed in an instant."
"This world has Five Great Continents. On top of the Five Great Continents, there are Human Race forces, but the Human Race forces on each continent are at a disadvantage, and the Five Great Continents are separated by the Boundless Sea."
"Ancient Sea Beasts live in the Boundless Sea. To get support from other continents is simply wishful thinking."
"This time, it was mainly to see if, after thousands of years of peace, our Human Race still had any fighting spirit. And after the test, we were greatly disappointed."
"One mountain cannot hold two tigers. Currently, our Human Race forces in the East Continent are the weakest, and a major war will start sooner or later. We need to prepare early."
After Jian Wushuang finished speaking, Ye Lin remained silent.
All Five Great Continents had Human Race forces, but the Human Race forces were not strong and were all being oppressed by other races.
"What about the Central Continent?"
Ye Lin suddenly asked. As for the Central Continent, he had long yearned for it. Legend had it that it was a Holy Land for Cultivation, and within the Central Continent, everyone was like a Dragon.
"The Central Continent? I don't know. Our Four Great Continents have special communication methods, and for millions of years, we have always been in contact with each other."
"But since millions of years ago, the Central Continent has been out of contact."
"As for the situation in the Central Continent, no one knows. After all, trying to cross the Boundless Sea is life-threatening for anyone who is not a Great Ascension Stage Half-Immortal."
"And apart from the Central Continent, whether the other Four Great Continents have Great Ascension Stage Half-Immortals is still an unknown."
Listening to Jian Wushuang's words, Ye Lin seemed to learn more secrets.
"The reason the Human Race is like this is entirely because their hearts are not united."
Ye Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Yao Cultivators, Evil Cultivators, Demonic Cultivators, slaughtering each other; wanting to rise up is dreaming.
"Hmph, these scoundrels, we will eradicate them sooner or later."
Hearing Ye Lin's sigh, Jian Wushuang's eyes revealed full Killing Intent.
These cancers of the Human Race must all be completely wiped out sooner or later.
As the two conversed, the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.
In front, dust rose everywhere; the Yao Beast horde had arrived.
Seeing the Yao Beast horde, the Cultivators who were resting below all looked up at Jian Wushuang on the mountaintop.
They were waiting for Jian Wushuang's command. As long as Jian Wushuang gave the order, they could fight to the death.
As the Yao Beast horde got closer and closer, the Cultivators below also began to grow nervous.
To be honest, no one wanted to die.
"You beasts, invading my Human Race's land, die!"
Suddenly, an aged voice came from the sky. This voice was like the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.
The next moment, a giant palm print appeared between heaven and earth.
Boom.
The palm print landed on the ground, and several million Yao Beasts instantly turned into dust, leaving behind only a ground full of Yao Cores.
Seeing this scene, the Cultivators who were preparing to fight to the death were all stunned, some not reacting.
They were just preparing to fight to the death, and then this happened?
The one who had just attacked was a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
"Children, these Yao Cores are your rewards. Take them, you've worked hard."
After the voice in the sky finished speaking, it disappeared, and the entire Nascent Soul Realm aura also dissipated.
"Nascent Soul Realm, so powerful."
Ye Lin looked at the ground full of Yao Cores, muttering to himself.
It was his first time seeing a Nascent Soul Realm True Person make a move. Under this attack, he couldn't even resist for a moment; it could instantly kill him.
He didn't expect that the Nascent Soul Realm was actually so terrifying.
What about above the Nascent Soul Realm? What about a Great Ascension Stage Half-Immortal? Could a Cultivator at that level sink an entire continent with one blow?
"We won, we won."
Among the utterly silent crowd, a voice suddenly rang out.
The other Cultivators only then reacted, blindly looking at their own palms.
They won, they won.
The next moment, the entire mountain erupted in a huge cheer.
"We won, we won, the Yao Beasts are destroyed!"
"gentlemen, go and take the Yao Cores on the battlefield. They all belong to you."
After Jian Wushuang finished speaking, the remaining Cultivators all moved, and the ground full of Yao Cores flowed into the hands of the Cultivators.
"You're not going?"
Jian Wushuang looked at Ye Lin, who was calm and composed, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"No need, let them take them."
Ye Lin said.
Although Yao Cores were useful, they contained many Impurities. After absorbing them, one still needed to remove the Impurities. The more one absorbed, the more Impurities one would have in their body.
It would harm one's Foundation. Ye Lin wouldn't do this now.
Unless it was a Nascent Soul Realm Yao Core, only something like that could make Ye Lin contend for it.
