708 Incredible Foresight And A Well-Designed Ploy (1/2)
Upon seeing the rising death toll of those who pursued the treasure maps, this fight had truly reached unparalleled heights of savagery. Even the Ten Kings felt increasingly appalled. When would this outrageous catastrophe – one that originated from Tiantang City itself - simmer down?
Subsequently, one could observe how experts with cultivation bases much, much stronger than their own appeared, only to be murdered mercilessly; brave, elite professionals who had long mastered their abilities would attempt to seize the maps with no regard to their own lives, only to find themselves surrounded, ambushed, beaten, slaughtered in a moment of frenzy...
By putting things into perspective, the Ten Kings of the Concourse of the Underworld felt a wave of chilliness that surged through their entire being from bottom to top.
”This is really an unprecedented catastrophe!”
King Chujiang's eyelid twitched erratically as his cheeks spasmed involuntarily. ”One can even say that this is truly a rare calamity that hardly comes by, even in the wake of ten million years!
”A catastrophe at a scale as grand as this had never happened before, even in the legends.
No matter which aspect you look at - be it the number of people who were involved, the size of the territory covered, or the death toll - this is truly a first in history.”
”Perhaps, after all of this, the whole martial world would be tranquil for the coming years.”
”You're right. The number of top martial artists in this world would be reduced. At least a third of them must go – maybe more.”
The ten sovereigns understood this perfectly, but they were helpless against the current situation, as there was nothing that could be done.
Not only could they not cease the fighting, but they also had to escalate the situation further by adding fuel to the fire. Furthermore, as the onslaught persisted, stopping this massacre was a totally impossible feat, even if the gods themselves showed up to put a stop to it!
Everybody had lapsed into a state of frenzy.
”Stirring up such a disaster which would persist even longer than expected... how exactly does this benefit Yun Yang? Why would he deliberately lay out such a ploy? Those two pieces of dragonhide treasure map are the real deal!” First Court King Qinguang implored.
”Whatever one contributes shall eventually be repaid. The benefits Yun Yang could obtain from this would surely be tremendous. Well, at least to him, the cost of these maps would definitely be worth the returns – and they would be even more profitable than one could imagine.”
King Songdi sighed forlornly. ”This huge battle has simmered down for the moment. Yutang's outstanding performance in this is already a fact set in stone. By devouring a few other empires in a certain order, the continent shall be united completely - Tianxuan shall finally be at peace.”
”What power still could disrupt such a momentous event, or change its course? It will be none other than the martial forces!”
