The Four Great Desolate Lords!
The entire Ancient Desolate was carved up by four Great Desolate Lords, divided into: the Primordial Desolate Domain, the Sky Demon Desolate Domain, the Blood Spring Desolate Domain, and the Nine Nether Desolate Domain!
The Four Great Desolate Domains corresponded to their respective rulers: the Sky Stone Desolate Lord, the Sky Sword Desolate Lord, the Blood Glutton Desolate Lord, and the Nine Nether Desolate Lord!
Xi Thirteen explained that he was originally from the Blazing Flame Rhinoceros clan of the Primordial Desolate Domain. The ancestor of the Blazing Flame Rhinoceros clan had once followed the first Sky Stone Desolate Lord in conquering all directions. After the first Sky Stone Desolate Lord took control of the Primordial Desolate Domain, he specifically designated the Blazing Flame Rhinoceros clan as the vanguard army of the Primordial Desolate Domain! This was an unparalleled honor in the Ancient Desolate!
The entire Primordial Desolate Domain army had three echelons. The first echelon was undoubtedly the Sky Stone Desolate Lord's Imperial Guard. After a million years, this army had not seen battle and had been forgotten by the monsters of the Primordial Desolate Domain!
The second echelon was the clan armies led by the four Demon Ancestors enfeoffed by the Sky Stone Desolate Lord, which were also the four top-tier racial powers of the Primordial Desolate Domain: Fire Crow, Titan Giant Serpent, Crimson Demon Dog, and Blazing Origin Bear!
The leaders of these four clans, the Four Demon Ancestors, were all at the Creation Realm, invincible in the world. They each led their own clans and formed elite armies second only to the Sky Stone Desolate Lord's Imperial Guard!
They were also the four ace armies of the Primordial Desolate Domain: the Fire Crow Army, the Titan Army, the Crimson Demon Army, and the Blazing Origin Army. Each of these four armies had a million soldiers, all of whom were at the peak of the Divine Mansion Realm!
They had suppressed the Primordial Desolate Domain for over a million years, a terrifying force!
As the third echelon of the Primordial Desolate Domain army, it was the clan to which Xi Thirteen belonged – the Blazing Flame Rhinoceros, the vanguard army of the Primordial Desolate Domain. Most of the rebellions in the Primordial Desolate Domain were quelled by the Blazing Flame Army. In the past hundred thousand years, it had been the Blazing Flame Army that primarily conquered human territories.
As for the other three desolate domains, Xi Thirteen's descriptions were vague. He was merely an ordinary squadron leader in the Blazing Flame Army and had no access to other matters!
What he could explain clearly was that the vanguard army of the Sky Demon Desolate Domain was the Blood Python Army, extremely bloodthirsty and brutal, known for leaving behind piles of white bones wherever they passed!
...
At the original ancient seal site of the Human Emperor's Palace, Elders Han, Cang, and Wei led a million troops in formation, watching the gradually thinning seal. Those blood-red eyes, numbering hundreds of thousands, were tightly packed together, resembling a vast sea of blood.
Beside the vast sea of blood, there were also hundreds of thousands of Blazing Flame Army soldiers, each burning with fierce flames that illuminated the surroundings!
"Blazing Flame Rhinoceros, Blood Python tribes!"
Elder Han frowned, looking at the gradually clearer demon army in the distance, his tone heavy. The Human Emperor's Palace and the Ancient Desolate had been in conflict for a hundred thousand years. All information about the Ancient Desolate had been sealed by successive Ten Elders, so their recognition was not surprising.
"We're missing the Iron Lion Beasts and the Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolves."
Elder Cang's tense face relaxed slightly, and a faint smile appeared after seeing the monster army opposite them. In the past hundred thousand years, during every holy war, the human lands had faced four terrifying monster armies: the Blazing Flame Rhinoceros, the Blood Python, the Iron Lion Beasts, and the Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolves!
Seeing only two monster armies opposite them, they felt a slight sense of relief. If all four monster armies had gathered, it would likely require the intervention of a Saint Elder at the peak of the Heaven Transformation Realm to stabilize the situation!
In truth, the understanding of the Ancient Desolate by the Ten Great Dynasties and the Human Emperor's Palace was mostly guesswork. It was not as accurate as Xi Thirteen's descriptions!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
To the north and east of the Unending Dynasty, sounds like muffled thunder echoed, like lion roars. The Empress of Unending, clad in golden armor and wielding the Human Emperor's Sword at her waist, stood ready. The Unending lineage commanded respect from many humans, primarily because during every holy war, the Human Emperor of the Unending Dynasty would lead from the front!
Beside Empress of Unending stood Marquis Blood Robe, Fan Zichen, who had entered the Heaven Transformation Realm. They gazed into the distance, not daring to relax, even though they had identified the approaching demon army as merely the Iron Lion Army. They remained vigilant.
Opposite the Unending army, through the thinning seal, stood an army of beasts with human bodies and lion heads. Their skin was ink-black, and their physical bodies were said to be as strong as bronze walls, capable of withstanding a blow from an enemy a realm higher than themselves, hence they were called Iron Lion Beasts!
Each Iron Lion soldier wielded a cold, chilling nine-ringed saber and opened their monstrous mouths, roaring in unison!
"It's humans!"
"That's humans!!"
"Hahaha!!"
"Human flesh, I'm so hungry for it!!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Upon seeing the Unending army, the Iron Lion Army went berserk, their mouths watering profusely, slavering like a river! Humans were legendary delicacies to them. After every holy war, the armies withdrawing from human lands would return with expressions of enjoyment, some even carrying dozens of human corpses to auction in the Ancient Desolate! Especially the strong humans, whose corpses would fetch exorbitant prices!
On the eastern border of the Great Yan Dynasty, the bloodthirsty aura here was far more astonishing than in the other three directions. The sky of the entire Ancient Desolate was a deep crimson, like a vast sea of blood, churning incessantly!
Those blood-red pupils stared intently at the Great Yan Dynasty army. Their mouths, filled with sharp fangs, revealed astonishing cold light. In their hands, they wielded blood-dripping, blood-thirsty spears!
"Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolves!!"
"It's the Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolves!!"
The Great Yan Dynasty army instantly fell into a panic. Even the commander of the Great Yan Dynasty army's face was filled with fear and unease. The Bloodthirsty Gluttonous Wolves were the most brutal monsters in the Ancient Desolate, even more so than the Blood Python demon army. Their favorite pastime was to slaughter cities! Although the Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolf demon army had the same cultivation realm as the other three demon armies, they were far more cunning and treacherous than the other three demon armies! They were adept at military strategy, unlike the other three demon armies who merely charged headlong without regard for consequences or cost! Almost half of the soldiers lost in the human holy wars over the past hundred thousand years had fallen at the hands of the Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolf tribe.
"What are you panicking for!!"
"So what if they are Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolves?"
"If they dare to break through the seal, we will stand firm on the border of our dynasty and defend the Great Yan Dynasty!!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The commander of the Great Yan Dynasty, a cultivator at the eighth layer of the Heaven Merging Realm, his hand gripping the sword at his waist trembled slightly. His heart wailed inwardly, "Heaven does not favor my Great Yan! Why must we encounter the Sky Devouring Gluttonous Wolves among the Four Great Monster Armies of the Ancient Desolate! I am not resigned! Great Yan is not resigned!!"
"Hum~~~"
Another day passed, and the entire void of the seal completely dissipated. Waves of bloodthirsty, murderous aura, mixed with the stench of monsters, surged ferociously towards the human army!!
"Roar!"
"Roar roar!!"
"Humans, Hahaha, mine, mine, mine!!"
