1115 Sword Holders, Appear! (1)
The Wanggu World was vast and endless. The Holy Wave Large Region in the south was only a corner of the entire continent. It was far inferior to the core of Wanggu.
However, before the god calamity descended, this region could still be considered famous. Although it was remote, it was connected to the Spirit Heaven Region in the north, the Moon Gazing Region in the west, and in the northwest, there was an ancient desert path that led to the Flame Mystic Region.
Moreover, as it bordered the Forbidden Sea on both the southeast and northeast sides, the domain was extremely rich in both maritime trade and resources. At its peak, it was even considered one of the top ten regions of the human race.
However, the arrival of the god's fragmented-face changed everything. What the boundless Forbidden Sea conveyed to the Holy Wave Large Region was no longer fertility but endless anomalous substances and dangers.
As this continued, the radiance of the Holy Wave Large Region quickly dimmed. Coupled with the decline of the human race, under the repeated changes in imperial rule, it eventually fell into obscurity, becoming a mere shadow of its former self.
The Moon Gazing Region became the Moon Worship Region.
The Spirit Heaven Region also became the Black Spirit Region of the Black Heaven Race.
As for the ancient desert path that was connected to the Flame Mystic Region, it became a place that couldn't be stepped into. This was because the Flame Mystic Region… no longer belonged to the human race and had become the frontier of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.
This lasted until… the appearance of the Purple Green Kingdom, which rejuvenated this dimmed domain, casting forth a brilliant light like the starry sky, inflicting the hearts of the myriad races in the Wanggu Continent to tremble.
However, it was only a flash in the pan. With the tragic death of Crown Prince Purple Green, all this radiance turned into smoke.
Even though the Seventh Prince had arrived, the Black Heaven Race had been defeated, and this generation's Grand Duke Holy Wave had chosen to return, all of this was just small-scale ripples.
In the context of the entire Wanggu Continent, there wasn't much of a ripple.
These events were clearly not qualified to stir up a storm in the entire Wanggu.
No one knew whether the Holy Wave Large Region could, in the future, shine with the same dazzling radiance that the Purple Green Kingdom had once conveyed to the entire Wanggu.
At this moment, in the northern part of the Holy Wave Large Region, within the Black Spirit Region that was once the Spirit Heaven Region, a war was raging fiercely. Looking around in the extremely bright heavens and earth, the defensive line of the Black Heaven Race was gradually collapsing.
Although there were many experts in the Black Heaven Race, the omnipresent Sun of Dawn dealt great damage to them. The Black Heaven Emperor and many peak experts of the race were even assassinated or heavily injured by mysterious cultivators.
All of this caused the Black Heaven Race to fall into a passive state. The moment the Red Moon disappeared, although the outside world knew about this and it would take time to confirm its authenticity, most of the pious people in the Black Heaven Race sensed it immediately.
This feeling made things worse, causing the Black Heaven Race to fall into sorrow.
Compared to the unprecedented weakness of the Black Heaven Race, the war launched by the human race this time was overwhelming. Not only did King Tian Lan participate, but outside the two huge regions of the Black Heaven Race, a total of thirteen Heavenly Kings took action.
They invaded the two huge regions of the Black Heaven Race from 13 directions.
Especially King Dong Ding, as the Heavenly King of the maternal clan of the Third Princess, his strength was astonishing. Leading the charge personally, he imposed significant pressure on the Black Heaven Race.
This gave King Tian Lan a lot of pressure.
In order to support the Seventh Prince, their clan had paid a huge price to obtain the tacit approval of the Human Emperor. One of the conditions in this price was that he needed to conquer half of the Black Spirit Region.
This was also the reason why King Tian Lan had recruited all the cultivators in the region after coming to the Holy Wave Large Region. To him, the life and death of the people in the Holy Wave Large Region wasn't important. At most, they would be replenished in the future.
What was important now was that they had to win this war. Only then could the Seventh Prince truly turn this place into a fief.
If he wanted to win, it wasn't enough with the subordinates he had brought. He yet needed to use a forbidden immortal art.
This technique required the blood and souls of living beings.
Hence, conscription orders were continuously issued by the Seventh Prince. There were also squads of people in charge of conscription who forcibly recruited soldiers from the entire huge region.
If they didn't obey, they would be reported to the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince, who was in charge of the administrative matters, would arrange for the guards to eliminate them.
This had been going on for half a year.
All the living beings of the myriad races in the Holy Wave Large Region used their lives to expand the battlefield against the Black Heaven Race. This forceful recruitment was done in Fenghai County too.
Facing righteousness and the Heavenly King, it was impossible for Fenghai County to disobey. Even though they knew that King Tian Lan had reserved his elites, and was using their blood and flesh to cast a forbidden spell, they were powerless to resist.
In just half a year, five batches of troops had been sent to the battlefield.
In the fifth batch, half of them were Sword Holders.
For Fenghai County, which had recently experienced a major war, it was a time of instability. Many sects and races within the county chose to switch sides and join the Seventh Prince.
Fenghai County also didn't have the ability to organize the sixth batch of troops unless… they sent out the remaining Sword Holders and the seeds of the various sects.
However, in that case, Fenghai County would have no future.
However, the difference in status and strength between the two sides caused Fenghai County to have no choice but to submit. At this moment, outside Fenghai County, a group of cultivators holding the conscription order from the Seventh Prince reached in the sky.
They were as many as ten thousand and were divided into two groups. One group was at the front and wore black robes with golden swords embroidered on them as they flew in the sky.
Among this group of people, the human race occupied more than half. There were also some nonhumans. They were all cultivators from the various sects and races in Fenghai County.
After they chose to defect and join the Seventh Prince, their identities changed. Now, under the Seventh Prince's orders, they were like imperial envoys, coming here to forcefully recruit soldiers.
At this moment, with relaxed expressions and casual conversations, most of them gazed at Sealed Sea County with disdain, and some even had a sneer on their lips.
