1053 Odd Behavior
During the day, the berserk killing intent of the Evernight soldiers seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. As long as one didn’t get close to them or even provoke them, they wouldn’t take the initiative to attack.
The Mythical Battlefield’s state seemed even more depressing than usual. There seemed to be more vitality, but traces of the Evernight army group were everywhere.
“How could this be? The Evernight army group didn’t head back to Evernight through the stargate. Instead, they stayed on the Mythical Battlefield. What’s going on? Didn’t Evernight beings not show up during the day?”
“We’re in trouble this time. The Evernight army group isn’t retreating from the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. Is this a change in the rules of the battlefield? If the Evernight army group doesn’t leave, the battlefield will be even more dangerous. It will be difficult to go out, and we’ll encounter fatal threats at any time.”
“Not good. This is preventing experts from gathering on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons and imprisoning them in the war cities. In this way, the battlefield outside the war cities will become the most dangerous place.”
“This is a major change in the battlefield. The war is no longer just at night. This war truly begins at this moment.”
On the city wall, everyone’s expression became extremely solemn.
The sudden change in the rules of the battlefield caught everyone off guard. It was too sudden, so sudden that it was hard to accept. It would change the future of the entire battlefield.
The original plan that Li Xiang had in mind could be said to have been scrapped at this moment.
Such a situation made it even more difficult to travel between war cities on the battlefield. It could even be said that the Evernight army group had completely divided them into independent regions and battlefields. It had become even more difficult for them to coordinate with each other.
Li Xiang had originally wanted to explore the surrounding area, but now it seemed that the difficulty had increased by more than ten times.
Those who dared to wander on the battlefield without strength were courting death.
“King, what should we do now?”
Zhao Yun and the other generals looked at Li Xiang. This situation gave them a lot of pressure.
“We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. As long as the Evernight army group doesn’t attack the city directly, we don’t need to pay too much attention to them. Leave enough soldiers on the city wall to guard it. The other soldiers will change shifts with them at intervals. There’s nothing to be afraid of on the battlefield even if we’re isolated. With Setting Sun City, we’ll have a foothold. On the battlefield, there was a foundation for survival.”
Li Xiang said calmly. There was no emotion on his face, and he remained calm.
The Mythical Battlefield was too big.
For most cultivators, a war city was probably the only area on the Mythical Battlefield where activities would happen. On the battlefield, there were enemies everywhere. There was no need to worry about not having opponents.
Since that was the case, the Evernight army group sealing off the entire battlefield and officially entering the battlefield did not have much of an impact on most cultivators. It was the same in the past and now. They only needed to pay more attention to the changes in the outside world during the day and deal with possible attacks and sieges at any time.
“Everything will be the same as before. All soldiers, try your best to increase your cultivation. On the battlefield, you can practice the Seven-kill Code and the Four -form Code. You can get twice the result with half the effort and collect iron-willed baleful aura. Iron-willed baleful aura is the best nourishment,” Li Xiang reminded the soldiers again before turning to leave.
The battlefield was the best place to cultivate for the soldiers.
Otherwise, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn would not have grown so quickly and become so powerful in such a short time.
Upon returning to the Castellan’s mansion, Li Xiang walked into the meditation room and prepared to practice cultivation.
With a thought, he entered the Tower of Stars.
In the tower, the Puppet Human race beings were still shrieking miserably. It would take a long time for them to be purified. Even if they were driven by the power of a world, they would not be purified so quickly. However, after one night, the Black Qi on everyone’s body had obviously decreased.
Although the screams were mournful, they were no longer unbearable.
This time round, there were too many Evernight Humans to be purified. In total, there were four to five hundred thousand.
Of course, that number was only the tip of the iceberg in the Evernight army group.
“Good. These soldiers who have passed the edification are all loyal to me. They are the best candidates to be refined into Dao soldiers.”
Looking at the purified Human warriors, Li Xiang had a thought.
What were Dao soldiers? In the secular world, Dao soldiers were death warriors trained by large families and factions. Death warriors were the strongest force that was completely loyal to their family and their master. Even if they were asked to die, they would not hesitate at all. In layman’s terms, they were brainwashed, and it was the kind that could not be changed.
Dao soldiers were the death warriors of the cultivation world.
However, Dao Soldiers had unique power and characteristics. They could form an army and cooperate with each other to unleash unimaginable combat strength.
Dao soldiers, unlike the tens of thousands of troops in the secular world, usually formed into battle arrays with cardinal numbers. One example was the Eight Trigrams battle array. The Spiritual Qi gathered and activated magical powers. Regardless of whether the enemy was one person or a thousand people, Dao soldiers were united as one and fought as a group.
Li Xiang had read all kinds of cultivation technique manuals, and there were many ancient books about Dao soldiers.
Generally speaking, the Dao soldiers of many sects were usually trained from pet spirit beasts and demon beasts. Through special methods, the bodies of those beasts were engraved with arrays. The beasts were of the same origin and were even connected to each other. With the help of the array, all the power could be accumulated in one soldier’s body, increasing their ability out of thin air.
However, it would be too cruel to train Human race beings as Dao soldiers. The reason why cultivation sects nurtured demons as Dao soldiers was that their bodies were strong and could withstand the unique refining process. If one’s body was weak, the damage would be very serious. Moreover, it would not be benevolent. Once word got out, the sect’s reputation would definitely be bad.
Of course, reputation was only one aspect. The most important aspect was that it was considered blasphemous. Cultivators were extremely afraid of being profane.
In the transcendent world, it was the most basic quality to be respectful.
However, Li Xiang had no qualms about converting the Human race-turned-Evernight puppets.
Because they had all been brainwashed by the supreme treasure, their original memories had disappeared. It could be said that they were all blank sheets of paper. One could train the puppet soldiers however they wanted without any resistance in the soldiers’ consciousness. That resolved most of the greatest uncertainties in the refinement.
