Arriving at the Western Frontier battlefield, the ancient soul’s transcendent status!

“Hiss, hiss…”

With ample vigor, the warhorses let out low neighs.

The soldiers’ spirits were elevated to their Peak; with the Divine Script’s blessing, even rapid, prolonged movement wouldn’t diminish their state in the slightest.

“Roar!”

With the power of the Divine Script upon it, the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger standing beside Jiang Qing also let out a loud roar, filled with excitement for the battle about to commence.

This giant beast, nearly ten meters long, was wreathed in flames, appearing even more majestic under the Divine Script’s blessing.

At this moment, the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger had reached the Fourth Stage Middle Stage, its strength comparable to a Fifth Stage Yao Beast.

A month and a half had passed since the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger was acquired.

During this time, it was supplied with a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure, and perfect Blood Soul Pills specifically for promoting Yao Beast growth and evolution were always available, causing the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger’s growth speed to be incredibly fast.

From its initial Second Stage, it grew to the Fourth Stage, and in a short while, it would advance to the Fifth Stage, becoming a great Yao Beast whose strength could rival the Sixth Stage.

Without further ado, Jiang Qing flipped onto the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger’s back and commanded, “Form the Crimson Wing Formation, full speed ahead!”

“Yes!”

Upon the command, under the guidance of numerous Husbands, two thousand soldiers quickly formed the Crimson Wing Military Formation, and the fire elemental energy in the world surged forth, condensing above everyone into the ethereal image of a Crimson Winged Bird soaring in the sky.

Streaks of fire elemental light enveloped all the soldiers and warhorses, increasing their agility and speed, while the fire elemental infusion prevented them from tiring, allowing the army to undertake long journeys.

The Crimson Wing Military Formation, a Army Soul Formation specifically used for long-distance marches and rapid movements, could enhance agility and speed, making them move like fire.

Divine Script Combat Skills combined with the Army Soul Formation brought a significant overall boost to the soldiers’ condition.

Under this empowered state, everyone’s strength more than doubled, and they increasingly yearned for battle, their fighting spirit soaring.

Thump-thump-thump!

Jiang Qing rode the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger forward at an extremely fast pace, with two thousand soldiers following closely like shadows, their warhorses stomping the ground furiously to keep up at maximum speed.

Led by Jiang Qing, the group swiftly departed from Demon Suppression Pass, heading towards the Western Frontier Battlefield.

Gu Hun escorted them, ensuring that Jiang Qing would not encounter any danger on his journey.

...

The Western Frontier Battlefield is located at the extreme west of the Great Xia Federation, bordering Demon Suppression Pass; one is in the far north, the other in the far west.

Although the two areas border each other, the distance is not close.

They did not encounter any danger along the way, and the entire army traveled at full speed for ten hours before reaching the border of the Western Frontier Battlefield.

Upon arriving at the Western Frontier Battlefield border, although they had not yet formally engaged in battle, they could already glean a thing or two about the battlefield’s dangers.

A vast, boundless grassland stretched out, verdant and lush; this was the most suitable place for cavalry warfare, where cavalry riding Yao Beasts and warhorses were the nightmare of infantry, absolutely invincible.

Especially the Beastman cavalry, who could inherently achieve a telepathic connection with their mounts and were skilled in archery, and whose strength at the same level was also greater than that of the Human Race, making their combat power extremely formidable.

Beastmen are a very special race, naturally half-human and half-beast, possessing the Human Race’s Cultivation speed while also mastering innate beast abilities; depending on their race, they possess different Yao Beast talents, making them extremely troublesome.

On the Western Frontier Battlefield, the Beastman Race held the deepest grudges against the Human Race; when the Spiritual Qi Revival first began, they frequently came to the Great Xia Federation to plunder resources, and even now, they still plunder fiercely like bandits whenever they spot an opportunity.

Therefore, upon reaching the border, a sentry post would be seen every short distance traveled, and hidden sentries would be buried in hard-to-detect places, all to guard against sudden attacks by Beastman cavalry.

The news of Jiang Qing’s departure for the Western Frontier Battlefield had already been reported, and raising the banner of Demon Suppression Pass, he proceeded unhindered.

After reaching the border and traveling at full speed for another two hours, they arrived at the Western Frontier Battlefield Command Post.

The Command Post was heavily guarded, and with major battles frequently occurring at this time, every soldier along the way had a solemn expression, with all personnel on high alert.

The soldiers remained outside, while Gu Hun led Jiang Qing to enter the Western Frontier Battlefield Command Post alone.

Although every Martial Dao Prodigy had his own subordinate soldiers, upon arriving at such a large battlefield, he still had to dutifully report to the Command Post and receive combat orders from the General.

After all, battlefield killing is not a game; allowing a small team to act recklessly could lead to the collapse of the entire situation.

Only if Jiang Qing demonstrated sufficient military talent and truly fought a brilliant battle could he gain genuine standing in the army and the privilege of independent command.

But currently, he had not yet demonstrated sufficient military talent, nor had he truly fought on a battlefield; no matter how well he performed his military talents in daily life, it was ultimately useless.

The battlefield situation changes in an instant, and any tactics must be adapted to local conditions, not as simple as written in books.

Those who only talk about war on paper become useless on the battlefield.

Inside the Command Post, it was a scene of bustling activity.

Currently, due to the appearance of the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land, both sides had already assembled their forces, ready for a major battle at any time; although high-end combat power had not been deployed, all generals below the Martial Emperor rank had been sent out to contend for the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land.

News from various parts of the battlefield came in, and the Advanced generals in the Command Post were overseeing the overall situation, allocating combat power deployments.

Stepping into the Command Post, fifteen individuals came into view, all of whom were top-tier powerhouses.

The weakest among them had already reached the Martial Emperor low-level, and the two strongest had even reached the Martial Saint level. Martial Dao Saints are the strongest when Martial Emperors do not appear.

“Old Gu is here?” The two Martial Saints at the head of the Command Post, seeing Gu Hun enter, quickly came forward to greet him, looking at Gu Hun’s aged face, they sighed, “It’s been a long time since we last met.”

“Old Gu.” Everyone in the Command Post saluted Gu Hun, even if their Cultivation was one level higher than Gu Hun’s, their words were still full of respect.

“Alright, alright, don’t be so polite with this old bone of mine.” Gu Hun waved his hand, then looked at the two Martial Saints standing in front of him.

Looking at their faces, Gu Hun was momentarily stunned, only recovering after a long time to sigh: “It has been a long time since we last met; how can we find time to gather when we are each guarding a region?”

The three exchanged pleasantries, and it was clear that their relationship was very good.

Gu Hun was already an old man, while the two Martial Saints still appeared to be middle-aged.

Despite a difference of two major stages in strength, it did not affect the three’s friendship; they conversed naturally, and after a long time apart, they all lamented the passage of time.

Jiang Qing was not surprised by this.

Gu Hun was not simple; he was once a Prodigy from the same era as these two Martial Saints, and back then, Gu Hun was even a Prodigy who overshadowed these two Martial Saints.

How could ordinary people glimpse a corner of the future? Gu Hun was a powerful Civilization Master who had achieved success in the Dao of Time; his strength was once even greater than these two Martial Saints.

It was just that… in a disaster back then, Gu Hun sacrificed himself, burning his Dao to gain immense power; although he averted that crisis, his Cultivation was stuck at Half-Step Dao Fusion, unable to advance even an inch.

Because his Dao had already been burned by himself…
