Chapter 486 -488: Drop some substantial news before stirring the fire.

Baijing State, the originally bright sky became shrouded with streaks of lightning, creating a fearsome sight. The ink-like color of the storm stirred unease in the hearts of onlookers, as if the entire horizon was about to be torn apart.

Common folks felt as if something was pressing upon their hearts, but Spirit Summoners and Heroic Spirits were different; they could sense something tearing at the sky itself.

This was not an illusion, but their innate Perception of the external world.

If one Spirit Summoner, two Spirit Summoners, perhaps might be deluded, but all Spirit Summoners sensed it—whether newly awakened or the strongest Seventh Grade Spirit Summoners of Baijing State, all felt the same.

As a result, Baijing State was swiftly mobilized without delay.

In the realms governed by the Court, Baijing State was of moderate strength; its strongest was Seventh Grade, unmatched within states such as Nanliang State.

Crack~

A thunderclap erupted, tearing a massive hole in the government office of Baijing State.

Xie Chen, the strongest Spirit Summoner in Baijing State, was the first to arrive on scene, followed closely by dozens of Sixth Grade Spirit Summoners—all were family heads, sect leaders, and gang leaders with formidable power.

“Who are you, and why have you entered Baijing State in such a manner?” Xie Chen asked cautiously.

“Person? Heh heh, it seems time has passed for so long that you have even forgotten our Spirit Clan,” a mocking voice came from the void.

A towering figure emerged, covered with armor that resembled flesh and blood, and a twisted Shadow loomed behind him. Several thick tentacles writhed through the air, and his features were far from human, more akin to a monster.

“Spirit Clan?”

Seeing the monstrous presence, confusion rose in everyone; they had no knowledge of what the Spirit Clan was.

However, the word “Spirit Tribulation” instinctively came to mind for Xie Chen, the strongest among them.

“The Spirit Tribulation that occurs once every three thousand six hundred years!” he blurted out subconsciously.

“So there’s some knowledge left after all. I thought you were all extinct.” The monster spoke mockingly.

Xie Chen was naturally shocked by the response. He did not know what Spirit Tribulation was, but he was aware of its terror, for his own Heroic Spirit had perished due to a Spirit Tribulation.

“Take action, we must not let him leave alive. If he escapes, we all die,” Xie Chen declared, taking the lead in the assault.

Yet, as the monster swung its long blade, a flash of blood-light narrowly missed. Had Xie Chen not evaded swiftly, the blow would have split him in two on the spot.

The monster was naturally a Spirit Monster, but not just any ordinary one. It was an Elite Level Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster, and its purpose here was to masquerade as a Spirit Tribulation, hence claiming to be of the Spirit Clan—to deceive, in simple terms.

“Have you ever considered one thing? I am not the so-called Spirit Tribulation you speak of; I am only a part, for I have kinsmen,” said the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster enigmatically.

“Once I capture you, I will make sure you learn what pain is,” Xie Chen spoke with a grim expression, charging forward with his Heroic Spirit once more.

Indeed, their Battle Skills were rich with experience; it was no wonder, coming from a world where survival of the fittest ruled, and if one did not learn to kill, surviving up to this point would have been impossible. Those who had become overlords had risen from a mound of bones.

The Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster was surpassed in Battle Skills, but it did not require such sophistication. All it needed was to know how to hack at its enemies.

Without even activating a Shield, its Attack Power grew with every wound it sustained.

For the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster, it had not unleashed all of its Power, at most only one percent. Many of its abilities were left unused.

If it were to fight in its war-time state, Xie Chen would not be facing a Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster clad in Stone Ghost Armor, but one piloting a Demon Statue Mecha, capable of sweeping through the entire governmental office.

The Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster was here not to massacre, but to deliver a message.

Of course, for the message to carry sufficient weight, Baijing State must pay a price; otherwise, the Court would not take it seriously.

After all, the Court was rife with complex machinations, where interests prevailed, not some so-called apocalyptic cataclysm.

They would have to understand that not just their interests, but their very lives were in jeopardy.

“Dead… He’s dead…”

“Run!”

Dozens of Spirit Summoners scattered and fled immediately—the simple reason being the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster had grown bored and with a single swing, had killed Xie Chen.

A Seventh Grade Spirit Summoner was merely Fifth Rank, how strong could he be? Even if the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster employed only one percent of its strength, Xie Chen’s combo attacks had significantly boosted its Attack Power, hence it could easily dispatch him with one blow.

The Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster did not pursue the Sixth Grade Spirit Summoners; instead, it summoned the Demon Statue Mecha.

Killing a Seventh Grade Spirit Summoner would not scare the Court.

“All units, pay attention, I’m preparing to implement Plan Two, please make sure to recall the Skeleton Soldiers!”

Seventh Grade isn’t much in the eyes of the Court, but if the whole of Baijing State fell, that news would carry much more weight.

The massive Demon Statue Mecha immediately took action, and in just an instant, the entire state government was engulfed in a sea of fire.

Since they needed the Skeleton Soldiers, they didn’t use many weapons; a simple blow was enough.

During this time, a large number of Spirit Summoners managed to escape, spreading the news. They couldn’t all be killed; what would be the point of his presence here? Just for a few Skeleton Soldiers?

With the state government at its center, the disaster wildly expanded, and in just fifteen minutes, the whole Baijing State had turned into something resembling Purgatory.

By then, reinforcements naturally rushed to the scene.

The reinforcements were Eighth Grade Spirit Summoners, equivalent to sixth-tier strength.

Ninth Grade Spirit Summoners could not easily leave their posts, and the Court presumably felt the situation did not yet warrant the intervention of a Ninth Grade Spirit Summoner.

There weren’t just a few Eighth Grade Spirit Summoners, but a full thirty of them.

“Finally, some capable little things have arrived, but it’s still not enough!”

The Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster, piloting the mecha, fired a shot. Those who dodged quickly saved their own lives, while those who didn’t were vaporized on the spot.

This event shocked all the Spirit Summoners, as just one move had killed around a dozen Eighth Grade Spirit Summoners.

Especially given the opponent’s massive size, even the strongest attacks against it couldn’t even produce a spark.

“Our objective has been achieved, prepare for the final act before retreat. Do not let them spot any flaws.”

Following the slaughter carried out by the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster, the command room issued the order to retreat.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control,” the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster certainly wouldn’t let its bloodlust lead to disobeying orders.

But leaving wasn’t as simple as just walking away; the act had to be played out to the end.

After killing again, it then spoke in a voice filled with malice, “Hmph, consider yourselves lucky, time’s up. Just give me a little more time, and you’d all be dead!”

“When the great calamity arrives, we’ll have ourselves a proper game.”

After that, the surviving Spirit Summoners saw a huge vortex appear behind the Demon Statue Mecha. It forcefully pulled the struggling mecha into the vortex, leaving behind only marks of its struggle and a scene of devastation.

After a moment of silence, everyone knew that things had gone beyond their control.

Now, they could only hope that the people of Baijing State didn’t die in vain and that the dignitaries in the Court wouldn’t drag their feet.

Because in the face of the great calamity, truly everyone would die.

The opponent wasn’t human at all, so there was no reasoning with them. Seventh Grade with a single cut, Eighth Grade with a single move — then what about Ninth Grade?

Perhaps they could kill the enemy, but how many Ninth Grade would be willing to gamble with their lives?

All those successful and high-ranking individuals, isn’t it better to live in enjoyment?

However, this matter could not be concealed by them, for an invisible hand incessantly pushed everything forward.

At most in three days, the events in Baijing State would be known throughout the world, letting everyone know about the Spirit Tribulation and the Spirit Clan.

The dignitaries love to manipulate with words, don’t they? This time let’s see how they manage. They’ll have to be forced onto the battlefield.

Neither the noble families nor the sects could escape this massive vortex.

After one or two months, with the destruction of two or three more states causing external conflicts and further intensifying the internal strife within the Court—

Either they divert internal conflicts outward as an outlet, or they sit back and watch as the flames of war rise and various rebel kings take up arms to rebuild the rivers and mountains.

In short, they had to push things to the brink. After all, the goal was one million enemy soldiers; if the Court couldn’t muster the numbers, the rebel kings would make up for it. The mission conditions looked at the number of enemy forces before the war settled; it didn’t care whether the sides and forces were the same.
