561: Xiong Zu

After each match, there will be three hours of rest.

During these three hours, the strong will clean up the battlefield and restore the Shura Killing Field.

Although Ying Zheng and Zeus fought fiercely enough to split the Shura Killing Field in two, it made no difference to an Emperor-level being.

And within these three hours, the alien army made many moves.

Zhuge Tianming stared intently at the deployment map sent to him by the general, his eyes filled with thick white cross-shaped light.

In the Eight War Zones, the alien race had already dispatched over a thousand units, and their exact positions appeared clearly before Zhuge Tianming's eyes.

After reviewing it more than a dozen times, he finally confirmed!

"The alien race is 80% likely to deploy the Divine Dragon Swallowing Heaven Formation."

This is a very terrifying Formation; if completed, everyone in the Human Race's Eight War Zones would be severely suppressed.

However, this Formation is very difficult to complete because its span is incredibly vast.

At this moment, from the First War Zone to the Eighth War Zone, the alien army looked like a slightly curved long snake.

To successfully complete the Formation, that long snake must first evolve into a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.

They must absorb enough Source Power to serve as the foundation of the Formation, placed at the positions where the nine claws should be.

These nine claw positions represent the areas where the Formation will take effect.

So, of course, they all had to be within Human Race territory.

This is why Jiang Shenyi constantly had Zhuge Tianming study the opponent's layout!

In every World War, both the Human Race and the alien race would try every possible means to set up Formations that could greatly increase their chances of winning!

This time, the alien race was truly insane.

No matter how fierce the fighting was in the past, it was always eight different Formations deployed in Eight War Zones.

Now they actually plan to use one Formation to cover all Eight War Zones!

This is a considerably massive undertaking, with an extremely low success rate!

But it also means that once the alien race succeeds, the Eight War Zones could be completely lost.

Now, Zhuge Tianming has seen through the opponent's intentions, and naturally, he can predict their next move!

To deploy the Formation, one must first occupy the positions of the nine claws.

Moreover, these nine claw positions are not fixed; there are many variations.

These were not problems for Zhuge Tianming; he wrote down very detailed information, ultimately identifying the 188 most likely locations for the alien race to launch a surprise attack first, and sent people to guard them strictly.

However, Formations are infinitely variable.

The Formation they are deploying now, once discovered, will certainly be replaced by other Formations.

In the most tragic war in history, the alien race's Formation was changed nearly a hundred times during its deployment.

So Zhuge Tianming's work has just begun.

What he has to do is not only see through the constantly changing Formations of the opponent but also find ways to deploy Formations belonging to the Human Race during guerrilla warfare, to carry out high-intensity counterattacks!

As expected, an hour later, intelligence came from Tianhe Pass that one of the locations Zhuge Tianming had just given them was attacked.

Fortunately, they had increased their personnel in advance, and ultimately no losses were incurred; the opponent also retreated directly upon discovering our extensive defenses.

The lieutenant general at Tianhe Pass excitedly called Zhuge Tianming to report the good news, repeating the word "thank you" countless times, and the extreme joy in his voice made Zhuge Tianming a bit uncomfortable.

He thought to himself that for him, it was just a matter of a quick glance.

Is this... really necessary to be so excited?

But when he saw the battle report sent by the other party, Zhuge Tianming's mood became incredibly complex.

Minor injuries: 529 people.

Serious injuries: 128 people.

Deaths: 0.

And those with serious injuries had at least lost limbs.

Behind every number stood a living person.

Now, every choice he made would greatly affect the fate of these lives.

A single wrong thought, a moment of carelessness, could cost hundreds or thousands of lives.

He finally understood why the other party was so excited.

Having been a lieutenant general for over twenty years, this was the first time he had achieved a record of no deaths; this meant that in past battles, almost every engagement with the alien race resulted in sacrifices.

A heavy pressure fell on Zhuge Tianming's shoulders, but it did not make him tired; instead, it made his attention highly concentrated.

Because he is not an ordinary person!

He is a descendant of Marquis Wu, a member of the Super God Class, and the second-in-command of the Yuanhuang Squad!

He also has these eyes that can see through fate.

These identities and abilities all told him that leading the people to victory was an obligation he had to fulfill!

Zheng Qiong, beside him, secretly sighed, thinking this child was truly remarkable.

However, no matter how good his choices were, sacrifices were unavoidable, and he hoped that when Zhuge Tianming one day received a battle report with heavy casualties, he would be able to quickly overcome that inner torment.

At this moment, everyone suddenly looked up at the screen.

Only five minutes remained until the start of the ninth match.

Everyone in the Super God Class looked at Yun Jinyu, whose white hair flowed, full of Immortal Qi.

At this point, there was no need to guess who would be on stage.

Only Yun Jinyu and Wang Qingtian were left to fight.

Wang Qingtian was to fight Kuang Xing.

So, this match would definitely be Yun Jinyu!

And on the other side, Lilith, Apollo, and Zeus had all fought; this ninth match would likely also feature a rising star, and Yun Jinyu was definitely enough to face him.

The scene in the Demon King Group was the same at this time.

The next contestant to appear was Earth Young God, a Prodigy from the Demon Beast Clan, bearing the Legacy of two top powerhouses, Tree Ancestor and Rock Ancestor.

In fact, he could have joined the Demon King Group years ago, but he had been deeply entangled in various power struggles within the Demon Beast Clan.

The Third Ancestor, Bear Ancestor, was so old he could barely move; he was a grizzly bear from before the resurgence of Source Qi, over a thousand years old, unconcerned with worldly affairs, and having seen through the mundane, he merely awaited the end of his life.

The Second Ancestor, Rock Ancestor, had once fought fiercely with Vincent of the Blood Clan; his injuries from fifty years ago still lingered, and he had no mind for management, focusing entirely on treating his hidden ailment.

And back then, Vincent saw that the Earth Ancestor was almost dead, so he wanted to eliminate him in advance; then Rock Ancestor alone would be unable to sustain them, and the Demon Beast Clan would be insignificant. He just didn't expect Rock Ancestor to be so disregardful of his own life to help Bear Ancestor.

The bond between the Three Ancestors was deeper than others imagined.

But unfortunately, the even older Tree Ancestor had already died over three hundred years ago.

For so many years, no one was in charge.

All sorts of demons and monsters emerged within the Demon Beast Clan, seeking to seize power and become the great king of the mountains.

As the strongest Genius in the clan and the future face of the Demon Beast Clan, Earth Young God naturally became a prize for those seeking power; they simply wouldn't let him join the Demon King Group, wanting him to stand for their own factions.

As a child, he had no choice but to watch others shine on the central stage of the world, feeling very envious.

Unexpectedly, Tree Ancestor returned later, and upon learning of this matter, immediately purged and rectified the entire Demon Beast Clan.

Earth Young God also obtained the Legacy of Tree Ancestor, and his strength advanced to a higher level.

Most importantly, he could fight!

He no longer had to do those nauseating things, and he was no longer a pawn in others' power struggles!

Today was the day of his meteoric rise; he would let this world see the power from the Demon Beast Clan!

He, of course, knew the name Yun Jinyu!

He also had a deep understanding of the power of Law!

In fact, Law is just a higher intensity of elements; the effects are not much different!

The natural intensity of elements in this world actually only has three tiers.

Ordinary elements, Law-transformed elements, Creator elements.

More than a year ago, Zeus came to him and taught him the Earth Law and Wood Law he needed.

All for today!

But unexpectedly, his half-teacher, Mr. Zeus, actually lost and was even ridiculed by trash like Ghost Cold, which was truly infuriating!

He must win this match beautifully!

Thinking of this, the time came to 8 PM.

Moonlight, like a thin veil, sprinkled over this dim yellow battlefield.

Everyone suddenly looked up at the alien race's life-and-death arena, some shocked, some confused.

They saw an old grizzly bear with tired eyes, unceremoniously propping up its not-so-long bear leg.

It leaned lazily against the barrier, holding a bowl of honey in its left hand, and directly dipping its finger into it with its right hand before licking it off its tongue, then looking utterly satisfied, even letting out a burp~

That scene was truly appetite-inducing.

But some were also confused, wondering if this was a mistake?

Putting an ordinary-looking old grizzly bear up there?

What is this for?

Are they playing dirty?

PS: My family suddenly had a lot of things to do today, so only two updates for now. I'll make up for it with four updates tomorrow.
