Although staying by the Palace Master's side fulfilled the first condition, the Palace Master was in the core area. It wasn't suitable for him to enter the battlefield immediately. Even if he wanted to go, he would have to ask for instructions, which seemed overly passive.
Hence, while explosions continued to erupt everywhere, Xu Qing looked around for a suitable location. Finally, his gaze landed on the huge mountains of piled abandoned puppets near the front line.
Every war puppet in Fenghai County was controlled by a large number of cultivators. They usually stayed on the array formations set up on the ground, allowing them to maintain their peak state at all times.
However, most of them were already damaged in the war and couldn't be repaired. They were all piled up and used as spare parts to repair other puppets. At the same time, they could also be used as a part of bunkers.
Additionally, during critical moments, they could also serve as a contamination source that could be thrown and detonated.
Xu Qing rapidly approached a mountain formed by the pile of abandoned puppets.
As the fighting had resumed, there weren't many people guarding this place. Only a crippled old man sat there and looked at the battlefield with a numb expression.
Although Xu Qing's arrival attracted his attention, he only glanced at him listlessly and didn't bother with him.
Xu Qing didn't say much. After he arrived, he leaped up and stepped on those scraps, directly reaching the top.
Standing there, he took out the jade slip given by the Palace Master. As he checked it, he looked at the battlefield.
This location was considered a relative vantage point. It allowed Xu Qing to have a clearer view of the entire battlefield.
Outside the golden net, rumbling sounds filled the sky.
In the sky, the huge rhombus-shaped magic artifacts from the Holy Wave Race continuously emitted a deafening buzzing sound that echoed in all directions, causing the void to distort. Bolts of lightning swam inside and occasionally landed on the ground, rumbling everything.
There was also a pressure emitted from the blood-colored eyes of those rhombus-shaped magic artifacts that descended on the battlefield. It strengthened the Holy Wave Race cultivators and suppressed the human army.
Through the jade slip, Xu Qing knew what these rhombus-shaped magic artifacts were. At that moment, as far as he could see, many human cultivators were covered in blood. Part of it came from the enemy, and the other part was the contamination caused by the increasing density of anomalous substances on their bodies.
These rhombus-shaped magic artifacts from the Black Heaven Race had bizarre power that intimidated everyone.
However, the human race also had a way to deal with it. As the golden net formed by the county's Taboo shone, Xu Qing saw that the hundreds of Nihility experts sitting cross-legged on it and in charge of the operation of the array formation seemed to have transformed into source points that spread out all their cultivation and fused into the golden net.
Immediately, huge golden faces protruded from the golden net and let out soundless roars. They rushed out and collided with the rhombus-shaped magic artifacts in the sky.
After the loud collision, those rhombus-shaped magic artifacts were affected and unable to show their effects.
However, the black snow that permeated the battlefield was pervasive and difficult to restrain. At this moment, it was falling continuously.
They would sometimes transform into spells that bombarded the human cultivators. At other times, they would gather in large groups and transform into humanoid beasts, charging into the army.
Some landed in front of the Holy Wave Race cultivators and formed weapons, greatly increasing the cultivators' powers.
There was also black snow that landed on the human cultivators. Even though the Fenghai County cultivators tried their best to avoid it, there was too much black snow here and it was too dense.
The bodies of those cultivators who were touched instantly trembled. The black snow transformed into poison, causing the anomalous substances in their bodies to directly surpass the critical point. In an instant, mournful cries spread in all directions. Many of them directly mutated and roared crazily, not distinguishing friend from foe.
It was extremely tragic.
However, since the battle between the human race and the Holy Wave Race had lasted until now, they naturally had a way to deal with it.
Soon, amidst Xu Qing's shaken state of mind, a tremendous roar echoed from the defensive line. Towering spikes of awe-inspiring magic emerged, their pointed tips directed towards the battlefield. Amidst the deafening clamor, they unleashed ferocious soundwaves, pulsating with power.
As the soundwaves passed through, the black snow trembled rapidly and melted away, transforming into black water that evaporated in an instant. Eventually, it dissipated into black mist and dispersed.
The human race in Fenghai County finally had a moment to catch their breath. The fighting armies swiftly withdrew, making way for other groups of army that had been preparing for battle for a long time to quickly take their place.
