"So soon?"
Long Chen was startled. After all, this was the time for all major powers to rest and recuperate, focusing on their cultivation levels.
Timing is most favorable for the otherworldly powerhouses. How many days have passed and they've already launched an attack?
Tang Wan'er said, "The alliance sent word that the Yin-Yang Realm suddenly launched an attack. One hundred thousand blood clan Fusion Heaven Realm experts invaded the continent, catching us completely off guard."
When we gathered our forces and arrived, they retreated again. But just as they withdrew, Moling Mountain made a move.
At the same time, the demon clan from the ancient battlefield and the undead clan from Wangsi City also launched surprise attacks. When we returned to defend, they retreated. "
Long Chen nodded and said, "The Undying, Blood, Demon, and Demon Clans are really cautious."
Even with an absolute advantage, they are still cautious. This is to interfere with us and prevent us from cultivating and improving properly. The
surprise attack by the four major external forces is nothing more than a test, or rather, harassment—on one hand, disrupting the cultivation of the Tianwu Continent, and on the other, testing its strengths and weaknesses.
"Under their sudden attack, over ten thousand Fusion Heaven Realm experts on the Tianwu Continent have died. This is not a good sign—these bastards are just too despicable." Tang Wan'er gritted her teeth and said.
"That's how war is—no means necessary. There are no rules or morality at all. Doing whatever it takes to win is the right approach. There's no need to be angry." Long Chen said with a smile.
So many years have passed, and Tang Wan'er still has a childish temper. War is no game; there aren't so many openly legitimate methods.
"You still have the mood to laugh." Tang Wan'er shot Long Chen a look.
"If you don't smile, what should you do? Crying? If I can win this war through tears, I wouldn't mind crying my heart out. Long
Chen's expression turned serious as he said, "Alright, enough of the trouble. Did the news say how strong the attacker was?" What level of combat power is there? "
Tang Wan'er said, "According to the Alliance's news, most of the main force of the raiders are newly promoted Fusion Heaven practitioners. The older generation of Fusion Heaven practitioners are mostly commanders."
These newly promoted Fusion Heaven Realm experts have already reached the mid-Fusion Heaven stage, basically between the fourth and fifth layers of Fusion Heaven... "
That high?" Long Chen was startled.
You have to understand, it's only been a little over ten days since the collective tribulation crossing—how could anyone have advanced to the mid-stage of the Fusion Heaven Realm? Did you blow it with air?
The Dragonblood warriors were desperately cultivating, aided by pills, while Gu Yang and the others were only at the second level of the Fusion Heaven Realm.
Although some sects, in order to quickly advance their disciples' realms, forcibly raise their realms regardless of their solid foundations, until yesterday, only over five hundred people across the entire Tianwu Continent had only advanced to the third level of Fusion Heaven.
These people sacrificed their foundations for the sake of their cultivation realm to achieve such cultivation speed. But even the otherworldly experts had already advanced to the mid-stage of Fusion Heaven—this speed was simply despairing.
"Yes, it's terrifying. Their sneak attack caused casualties that aren't much, but the damage to Tianwu Continent's morale is huge." Tang Wan'er said.
Long Chen shattered the Fortune Spirit Pearl, preventing the generation of Tianwu Continent from producing an emperor, while prodigies from other domains could still attain emperorhood as usual. This was already weighing heavily on people's hearts like a boulder.
Now, with the four great domains launching a sneak attack, watching their terrifying cultivation speed, there was simply no hope left. No matter how desperately they cultivated, it was meaningless—the gap was simply too great.
"This must be deliberately done by the enemy, aiming to completely crush our confidence. If I'm not mistaken, these people are the signature army they deliberately forcibly built.
Such rapid advancement in realm not only causes an unstable foundation, but can even halt their cultivation.
Each domain sacrifices 100,000 people, aiming to completely shatter the confidence of the continent's strongest. Heh, that shows some boldness. Long Chen chuckled.
He absolutely refused to believe there was any way to make someone who had just entered the Fusion Heaven Realm cross four or five levels in just over ten days without paying a price.
"Lord Xuan thought the same. He said this is a psychological battle, and it can't be just a one-time battle.
They erode our confidence while interfering with us, preventing us from cultivating properly, constantly in a state of tension, slowing down our advancement—truly malicious intent. Tang Wan'er nodded.
Long Chen smiled: "Lord Xuan is absolutely right. Did he say what the deployment should be?" "
No," Tang Wan'er shook her head.
Long Chen was a bit speechless: "Alright, that's handing the problem to me." "
But thinking about it, it made sense. Long Chen was now the hope of Tianwu Continent. If he handled this matter, it would greatly boost morale. The enemy's psychological tactics would instantly collapse, strengthening the Tianwu Continent's confidence.
"What should we do?" Tang Wan'er asked.
"What can we do? Fight back, but the initiative must be in our hands, or else we'll be dragged down by them.
Let the Dragonblood Legion come out of seclusion, split into four groups, attack the four great domains, and contact Mo Nian and Zi Yan.
Aman returned yesterday, Zhiqiu emerged from seclusion, and every route was protected by a supreme artifact, giving her a respectful return. Long Chen said.
"Is that okay?" What if you fall into the enemy's trap and fall into a trap? And if we encounter someone as powerful as the High Priest, we'll be in danger. Tang Wan'er said worriedly.
"Actually, the foreign forces attacking us is just a pointless act of farting out. Our strength is never as strong as theirs, and they have strong individuals who need to attain Emperor status, which requires the combined power of the entire world.
Their sneak attack on us actually serves as a wake-up call: if we keep invading foreign lands and disrupting their world laws, it will delay the time for Mo Luo Tianxing, Blood Fiend Demon Lord, and others to become emperors.
This essentially buys us more precious time. Without the emperor's proclamation, they definitely wouldn't dare come to the Tianwu Continent. Long Chen said.
Mo Luo Tianxing, Blood Fiend Demon Lord, Ye Ming, and the Nine-Headed Lion were defeated by Long Chen. If they wanted revenge, they had to become emperors; otherwise, none of them dared to trouble Long Chen alone, or else they would be courting death.
"Then what about our pill refining?" Tang Wan'er said somewhat unwillingly. If she didn't refine pills, the Dragon Blood Legion would be too slow to improve on her own.
"We'll refine pills however we're supposed to be, don't worry about them. Didn't I tell you?
Let Mo Nian and the others lead the team; we won't participate, we'll just provide logistical support. Long Chen said with a smile.
"Aren't you going?" Tang Wan'er was stunned.
"I'm not going. I want to focus all my effort on refining pills. Once I've refined enough, I want to find the Donghuang Bell, or else I won't feel uneasy." Long Chen said.
After Long Chen finished speaking, he called Meng Qi and the others together. For the time being, he told them not to refine pills for the time being, because the pills in their hands would be enough to sustain the Dragon Blood Legion's consumption for a long time.
Long Chen asked them to help him refine demon pills. Once he had enough pills, he would go find the Eastern Wilderness Bell. At that time, Long Chen would leave his avatar to Meng Qi and the others, and then they could go on to refine the Fusion Heaven Pill.
Just as Long Chen began frantically refining demon pills, the Dragon Blood Legion obtained his possessionsThe command began to assemble.
