1904: Sky King’s Arrival (1/2)

Although it was hard for these forces to obstruct the Eastern Sky’s elite forces as they closed in, in the end this division of troops actually wasn’t the slightest bit chaotic as they retreated step by step, establishing layer upon layer of defenses, and managing to delay the Eastern Sky’s elite forces many times. This caused the pincer attack to fail as the East and South couldn’t attack at the same time.

Along with the Eastern and Southern Skies’ mobilization, the Northern Sky army and Western Sky army also entered the war in succession to participate. The Ye Family forces were caught in a situation where they were surrounded on all four sides, every side facing an enemy. Beyond all expectations, though, was that the longer the Ye Family forces fought, the braver they were, unexpectedly. They didn’t concede in the slightest!

Even the Seven Golden Lotuses only ended up dispatching four people, one person overseeing each side of the battle. They revealed their skill in commanding the troops.

Actually, this also isn’t very surprising. After all, right now, the Seven Golden Lotuses could really be described as unrivalled on the battlefield!

Looking through all four groups of the four big Sky Kings’ forces, there wasn’t a single expert there who was capable of directly resisting one of the Seven Golden Lotuses!

This reality was enough to make the commanders in chief of the four sides almost depressed enough to spit blood.

You Seven Golden Lotuses count as powerhouses of the present age, this we already knew. After all, from those years ago, everyone was evenly matched, same quality cultivators. Why, one hundred thousand years later, are you all unexpectedly so much better than us now? This doesn’t make any sense, does it?

This matter wasn’t only puzzling the four sides’ commanders in chief, even that group of old brothers related to the Seven Golden Lotuses were also unable to comprehend it.

These seven people’s strength is a little too vigorous, isn’t it?

It’s simply excessively vigorous to the extreme!

It’s as if these seven people are in a territory that seems… somewhat unreal.

Everyone was on the same side, so naturally they had more than a few people ask about the reason for this. The seven people’s response was all the same, they would simply smile and not answer.

It wasn’t that they were unwilling to say, but rather they too were at a loss to understand why…

This… appeared to be somewhat hard to say.

We’re accepting all the energy that’s drifting away from the Life and Death Hall Tree Fortress every day, and it’s basically equivalent to a year of bitter cultivation. Is it so amazing that they have such a cultivation now?!

If it wasn’t that time was short, and we could continually stay just outside the boundary of the Life and Death Hall Tree Fortress, even if it stayed at this limit and the pace was just like this and nothing more, if we were capable of dragging this on for a few tens of years, our Seven Golden Lotuses would completely be capable of standing alongside the Five Sky Kings…

This, they were greatly assured was the truth.

However it was a pity that time waits for no man, ah, truly a pity, ah…

The war carried on each year after year.

Each year there were deaths, a large amount of deaths.

In this world class top-level battlefield, so-called human life had already arrived at the point of being worthless — even the whole Limitless Ocean’s landscape had been tossed and plowed through several times, to say nothing of the life or death of a few people?

But along with more and more of the Five Sky Kings’ reinforcement troops, the Ye Family forces were at last somewhat unable to continue to tolerate it, and they were gradually unable to prop themselves up.

The soldiers they could employ were in the end just too few. This weak spot was undoubtably revealed completely in the middle of this high intensity combat state.

However, as this was revealed, the Ye Family forces side started to dispatch their experts more and more frequently.

This went on until one day, the Glaze Sky King personally led his troops to arrive at the Limitless Ocean!
