An aura of infinite darkness surged and rippled, filling the void with dark clouds, as if the heavens and earth themselves had sensed the impending carnage and turned grim.
"Could this be a sign of an imminent battle, capable of shaking the earth?" Gu Yang gazed at the sky filled with dark clouds as the skies began to darken, his voice low and menacing.
The scene was deeply disturbing, laden with oppressive tension; even the air seemed to exhale the scent of death.
At that moment, the Dragon Blood Legion had concluded its meeting. They were positioned at the outpost before the Forest of Life, their last line of defense.
The previous defensive lines had all been abandoned under Long Chen's orders. This last line of defense was the gateway to the Forest of Life; once breached, the enemy could advance unimpeded.
All the members of the Dragon Blood Legion were present, but the aura of death that permeated the air still made breathing difficult.
"The omen of 'hair' is the dark power emanating from the Black Forest. In fact, they are all black runes invisible to the naked eye.
They need to spread this dark power before launching an attack. They are like fish, and dark power is like water. Without water, their fighting power will drastically decrease.
Have you forgotten? Isn't that the kind of aura that permeates the Black Forest? Gu Yang, I'm perplexed. You should be incredibly intelligent, but you can't even analyze such a simple problem?" Long Chen looked at Gu Yang, his bald head gleaming with an incredulous expression.
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing Long Chen's words, Guo Ran, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and the others burst into laughter.
Not only did they laugh, but everyone laughed, making Gu Yang blush with embarrassment.
"Boss, with you here, only you can truly be called incredibly intelligent," said Gu Yang, scratching his bald head, somewhat embarrassed.
"No, I still love this long, flowing hair very much." "Throughout the entire Dragon Blood Legion, if even one person shines, that's enough," Long Chen chuckled.
With Long Chen's joke, the oppressive feeling in everyone's hearts lessened considerably.
They also realized they were getting scared. When they first entered the Spirit Realm, although they felt the violent and murderous aura of the Dark Forest, it wasn't as intense as it was now.
"Let me tell you something: influenced by the Forest of Life, your courage has begun to diminish."
"Let me tell you, influenced by the Forest of Life, your courage has begun to diminish." Long Chen looked at everyone, his face serious, and said, "In the current Dragon Blood Legion, the difference between Dragon Blood Warriors and Dragon Pattern Warriors is decreasing more and more; at least in terms of strength, they are almost equal.
However, what Dragon Pattern Warriors lack is the confidence and fearlessness that emanate from the depths of their souls." That's the only thing they lack compared to the Dragon Blood Warriors."
"It was already reflected when we crossed the tribulation last time. Now facing the pressure of the Dark Forest, the Dragon Blood Warriors can still calm down, and the Dragon Pattern Warriors obviously feel huge pressure.""
"Boss, we will continue to hone our will, please rest assured." A dragon-patterned warrior has a firm and authentic face.
Long Chen waved his hand, shook his head and said: " It's not that your will is not firm enough. The biggest gap with Dragon Blood Warrior is that you are of great origin and you stand at different heights.
"Dragon" Blood Warrior was brought by me from Donghuang. We have gone through too many ups and downs and kills along the way, grew up in stumbling blocks, and moved forward on the road full of thorns.
We have paid a lot for this, but we have also gained a lot, and although you have also participated in many battles, each one extremely fierce, the will has long been honed.
You are not now comprehending the meaning of fighting, fighting not for killing, but for guarding, not for making a name for yourself, but for the faith in your hearts.
Only by understanding your faith will you become fearless and overcome your fear of death.
The reason why you have fear in your hearts today is because you have been influenced by the forest of life."
"The influence of the Forest of Life? Boss, why can't I understand it a little?" Guo Ran was somewhat puzzled.
Not only Guo Ran didn't understand, but everyone didn't understand. They all looked at Long Chen and looked forward to Long Chen announcing the answer.
"Long Chen looked at everyone and said meaningfully: " That's because you were influenced by the belief in the Forest of Life. They are a group of kind creatures who are full of gratitude and awe for this world that gives them life".
They never complain or hold grudges. When we, the human race, betrayed them, do you think they once had a complaint?
We ourselves can't stand the betrayal of the human race, but they can still accept us and believe us.
It is their instinct for life, they are simple and kind, they love life, they fear life, that is their faith.
So when you received the blessing of the tree of life, you were also infected by that faith, and you were filled with longing and awe for life.
But this belief is their way, not the way of our Dragon Blood Legion, our way, the weapon in our hands.
The creatures of the Forest of Life are good, but this kindness should be spread to the good, and if it is spread to the wicked, it will be exploited and thus lead to destruction.
Unfortunately, the Forest of Life was betrayed by our human race, but you also saw it. They ended up like this. Is this fair?"
"unfair"
The crowd couldn't help but roar, thinking of the betrayal of the human race, and their hearts were filled with repression and anger, and they were ashamed of the actions of the human race.
"We don't have to feel guilty, that's not what we did, and the forest of life has never remembered this hatred on us.
When you see the situation in mainland Wu today, how many good people are there in the whole world?
Give a kind heart, and all that comes back is betrayal and butcher's knife, so there must be kindness, but who should be divided.
There is nothing wrong with loving life, there is nothing wrong with being grateful for life, but we need to know who is grateful.
It is not wrong to have awe in our hearts, and naturally we must have awe in those who guard us and give us life.
But there is nothing worthy of our gratitude and awe except our parents, who want to guard our parents, and in this troubled world, which is full of blood, we need to show our fangs, and in the face of those wicked, we must wave the butcher's knife without hesitation.
All you need to remember is that the purpose of our butcher knife wielding is to guard that supreme faith in our hearts, our parents and mothers, that is the dependence of our souls.
The Forest of Life is gracious to us, and even if we fight to the last soldier today, even if we all fall, we have witnessed our faith and vows with our blood and our lives, why should we fear?
Remember, what you practice is not the way of life, but the way of killing, and now the world is in chaos, and when the truth cannot be explained and the beliefs are contradictory, the only one who can protect us is the butcher's knife."
Long Chen's words echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone was as enlightened as enlightened.
They were invincible warriors who came and went on the battlefield. They had already left their lives behind, but now that they have been baptized by the tree of life, they have indeed been affected by the tree of life. The desire to kill in their hearts has faded a lot, and they have begun to have a sense of life. Awe.
But now Long Chen has revealed the mystery in one sentence, and everyone has suddenly returned to their original state. In Tianwu Continent, only the strong can live with dignity and protect their relatives.
They understood this truth at the beginning, but this time they became timid under the influence of the sacred tree of life. At this time, they were awakened by Long Chen, and they were all ashamed.
"Remember, there are no innocent people on the battlefield. Anyone who wields a butcher's knife at you can kill them.
Perhaps some people are innocent, do not know the inside story, or are fooled into making the wrong decision.
But these are no reasons, as long as someone dares to swing a butcher's knife at us, no matter what his difficulties, he can be mercilessly killed.
Your own mistakes and stupid deeds, you have to pay for them yourself, because their stupid deeds will cause us endless pain.
So once the battle starts, there's no need to worry about their racial identity, they only have one identity, and that's the —— enemy.
I repeat, as long as it is the enemy, kill it with all your strength without mercy, do you understand?" Long Chen shouted.
"understand "
Everyone answered in unison, they knew that Long Chen was going to really start killing.
At present, there are strong men from the alliance of the Ancient Clan, the Evil Way, and the Ancient Family in the spirit world, and the Evil Way is the mortal enemy of the Right Way, and once they do, the Dragoon will naturally show no mercy.
But they may have scruples about the alliance of the ancient and ancient families, after all, the two sides have not yet reached the point of being in the same situation, which is different from the evil way.
If the conflict is really intensified completely, it is very likely that the alliance between the ancient clan and the ancient family will break out completely and become an enemy of Xuantian Daozong. No matter how powerful Xuantian Daozong is, it will not be able to withstand the attacks of the two major forces.
It was precisely because he was afraid that everyone would have some scruples in their hearts that Long Chen woke them up at this time. There was nothing on the battlefield. Some only had enemies. If they were enemies, they would be killed without mercy.
Long Chen's words, you already understand that if you can't be ruthless enough to kill the enemy, then the kind spirit warriors will be killed.
No matter how powerful the spirit warriors are, they don't understand the real way of killing, and their lethality is limited. Therefore, Long Chen did not really expect them, but left all the heavy burdens to the Dragon Blood Legion to pick.
All of them are warriors who have been fighting with Long Chen for many years, and now they are awakened by Long Chen and immediately return to their original fighting state.
At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the whole world felt almost dark, but that violent atmosphere could no longer affect everyone's mood.
"Boss Guyang, please light up your head and guide us in the darkness." A Dragoon shouted, and everyone laughed.
Within the Dragon Blood Legion, everyone was a brother, joking and playing around as usual, with no distinction of rank or hierarchy.
Long Chen was called Boss, and others were also called Boss, but they would add their names to differentiate them, such as Boss Gu Yang and Boss Guo Ran.
Only the legion commanders—Gu Yang, Guo Ran, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan—were truly called Boss.
"Boom boom boom…"
Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently, and a terrifying aura rose from the distance, slowly approaching.
"Finally here," Long Chen said, his eyes narrowing as he looked into the distance.
