Dai Mubai watched as a White Tiger Army soldier swung his blade at a child, his mother throwing herself forward to shield him, falling in a pool of blood.
The soldier looked at the woman beneath him, his eyes filled with coldness. He raised his blade again, aiming for the child he had failed to kill earlier.
"Stop," Dai Mubai couldn't help but shout.
The soldier glanced at him, recognizing the Star Luo Empire's Third Prince, but he lacked the usual respect, simply asking indifferently, "Does the Third Prince have any orders?"
"He's just a child?"
"So what?"
"He's just a child, he poses no threat."
The soldier revealed a hint of disdain. "The general's orders are to leave no one alive. If the Third Prince is only here to say this, please step aside and do not interfere with the execution of military orders."
As he spoke, his blade fell again, and Dai Mubai couldn't help but step forward, slapping the blade away with a palm strike.
Wei Zhaowu walked over and asked, "What happened?"
"General Wei, why raise a butcher's knife against women and children? We've already won, haven't we?" Dai Mubai asked, his voice agitated.
"We've only won this battle, but the war is not over. This unprovoked attack is to destroy their defensive forces to the greatest extent before the Heaven Dou Empire can react."
"The White Tiger Army is a sharp blade, but it is thin and fragile. Our disadvantage in numbers is its biggest weakness. We don't have enough people to stay and control this city. To prevent information from being leaked, killing everyone is the best solution," Wei Zhaowu explained coldly.
"Otherwise, if these people are allowed to leave and other cities become prepared, the casualties we will suffer in attacking the city again will be more than ten times greater."
"Your Highness, since you've spoken up, then this child's life is in your hands. Kill or don't kill, it's up to you. But please remember, you are a prince of Star Luo."
Dai Mubai blankly accepted the steel blade Wei Zhaowu handed him, looking at the child wailing in place, feeling somewhat at a loss.
A youth wearing a black classical robe and a pointed soft cap watched as the soldiers swung their butcher knives at their own kind, while spirit beasts behind them gnawed on the corpses, enjoying the feast, his face devoid of any expression.
"Do you see? This is what you caused," the Myriad Demon King appeared behind him at some unknown time.
"Perhaps," Amon smiled. "But it doesn't seem to affect me that deeply… As long as there are living beings, conflict will never cease. Compared to large-scale death and disaster, perhaps the brilliance of individuals, hearts, or emotions is more likely to move me."
A tree branch pierced through Amon's chest, and the Myriad Demon King's eyes gradually became heavy. He suspected that even if the Heaven Dou Empire surrendered and humans and spirit beasts joined forces to kill him, it would be difficult to kill this elusive guy.
No one survived in Shangyun City, including the child temporarily saved by Dai Mubai.
In the choice between killing and not killing, Dai Mubai escaped. He dropped the knife in his hand and fled outside the city.
He knew that this was tantamount to killing the child, but he was, after all, the Third Prince of Star Luo.
The spirit beasts ate their fill, and the White Tiger Army rested for a moment before setting off again.
Next, they would attack Liuyun City, then drive straight in, kill to the Tudor Territory, and join forces with the Star Luo army that had come to Heaven Dou from the Star Brilliance Duchy.
In Liuyun City, the defending general looked in surprise at Amon, who had suddenly arrived, and asked his purpose.
After learning that Shangyun City had fallen and the White Tiger Army was heading straight for Liuyun City, he was shocked.
"Don't be restless, I will assist you. Of course, you must also prepare yourselves and ask the royal family for help. I can only stop one or two experts. You will have to deal with ordinary soldiers yourselves."
...
Star Dou Great Forest.
An Amon dispelled the long sword condensed from spirit power in his hand.
Before him was a dismembered giant toad.
He bent down and picked up a luminous, lustrous bone from the corpse.
After he obtained the Soul Ring of the Auspicious Beast and his level reached 70, the upper limit of his avatars was also increased, from the original level 50 to level 60.
While those fierce beasts who were shouting and killing him were wreaking havoc in human territory, he dispatched a large number of avatars to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt.
Previously, he had more than sixteen thousand avatars. He lost a lot of them in the operation to hunt the Auspicious Beast, and now he has about ten thousand left.
Three thousand are scattered throughout Heaven Dou as a backup, five hundred are in Liuyun City preparing to deal with the Myriad Demon King, and five hundred are in Spirit Hall, preventing Qian Daoliu from being defeated and ready to assist him at any time. This time, more than six thousand Amons entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
Every Amon can now use the "Dream Thief" skill, greatly increasing the efficiency of farming spirit bones. From the original special avatars that stole the main body's skills being able to use it, to now every clone being able to use it at the same time, the efficiency has increased by thousands of times!
Di Tian did not bet everything on bringing all the spirit beasts. There were still enough prey in the forest for Amon to level up, but it was more troublesome to find than in the past.
One Amon after another wandered in the Star Dou Great Forest. They were like life-reaping ghosts. All spirit beasts, regardless of age or race, would be tortured to near mental collapse and then killed if they encountered them.
In this process, the levels of the Amons continued to increase, and they also harvested a large number of spirit bones.
In one day, he obtained more than a thousand spirit bones, exceeding the total amount he had obtained in the past three years.
An Amon chuckled. In his eyes, illusory lines of fate emitting gray-black mist floated. Following the most solid one, he activated the "Prometheus" skill. With the cooperation of the main body, he stole the ability of the "Trojan Horse of Destiny".
Then, he immediately followed the same line of fate and activated the "Trojan Horse of Destiny", stealing the fate of the main body as the "main body".
Amon stealing Amon's fate is not restricted by the point that "fate can only be stolen from Soul Masters with lower ring counts than oneself."
In that instant, Amon's main body will immediately covered the will of this clone, and the clone's level immediately increased to level 70. The clone became the main body!
With the transfer of the "main body"'s fate, the original spirit soul main body and the soul bone attached to it were also transferred to the new main body.
He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit bones constantly sent by the avatars.
Strands of gray gas eroded and assimilated these spirit bones of varying qualities, eventually turning into a gray-black, slightly illusory liquid that merged into the body of the Worm of Time.
After absorbing a large number of spirit bones, the quality of Amon's attached spirit bone was also constantly improving, gradually reaching a certain limit.
That was the dividing line between a million years and a hundred thousand years, and also the dividing line between gods and humans.
It seemed to have encountered a bottleneck. No matter how he absorbed new spirit bones, the quality of the attached spirit bone never increased.
Amon thought for a while and decided to try to create miracles with great force to see if he could break through this limit with a huge number.
So he accelerated the speed of hunting spirit beasts. In the following days, tens of thousands of spirit beasts died tragically in his hands, and thousands of spirit bones were sent to the main body.
When Amon absorbed a spirit bone again, patches of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and muffled thunder rumbled in the clouds.
A vast pressure enveloped the Star Dou Great Forest, and a destructive aura spread, a terrifying power that seemed to be able to silence everything.
All the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest trembled under this pressure. Even knowing that the target of that terrifying power was not themselves, they were still too frightened to move.
Some spirit beasts that had just caught their prey stopped moving, curled up, and looked at the dark clouds in the sky in fear. Even the prey that had just escaped death forgot to stay away from that terrible predator and also lay prostrate on the ground.
At the bottom of the Lake of Life, in a dark cave, fluorite emitting a blue-green light brought a little light.
Ziji felt a stuffiness in her heart, looked up at the rocks above, and felt a burst of palpitation, as if a catastrophe was imminent.
This is… the Great Tribulation?" A huge silkworm Chained by countless bands of light wriggled with difficulty and let out a strange cry.
"The Great Tribulation?" Ziji frowned in confusion.
"You don't understand this, do you? I also experienced it back then," Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said with some pride, and then, he said in a gloating tone:
"This is the heavenly tribulation that will be triggered when a spirit beast breaks through a million years. I'm afraid your Star Dou Great Forest is going to change hands."
"A million-year spirit beast?" Ziji was horrified.
Although Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this million-year spirit beast, is now placed here to be enjoyed as food, Ziji did not dare to have the slightest contempt.
Because just the huge size is enough to make people panic. That is a creature that is not at the same level as a spirit beast of hundreds of thousands of years at all.
If Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had any attack power, the title of Beast God would have to be changed!
Amon looked at the heavenly might locking onto him with some astonishment, clicked his tongue, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not a spirit beast. Could it be that all things related to spirit beasts will cause the attack of rules after the volume reaches the level of 'god'?"
He decisively transferred the spirit bone to a newly split clone, and then used a clone hundreds of kilometers away to steal the fate of the "main body" and transfer the status of the main body.
Afterwards, he closely monitored the situation here through the line of fate, while maintaining a high degree of vigilance, ready to cut off the connection between those avatars and the main body at any time to prevent the attack of the heavenly tribulation from affecting the main body along the fate.
The power of heaven and earth awakened the Silver Dragon King who was sleeping deep in the Star Dou Great Forest. She used her mental power to scan Amon with some exhaustion, knowing that this was the person who had stolen the power of fate from the spirit beasts of Star Dou.
Her clear eyes were filled with confusion. Amon was clearly a human, so how could he usher in a great heavenly tribulation targeting spirit beasts?
Under this great heavenly tribulation that could pose a threat to even gods, she did not dare to act rashly and just quietly observed the progress of the situation.
The dark clouds in the sky continued to accumulate, and the thunder became louder and louder, but it never fell.
The Silver Dragon King waited for a long time, but the matter did not progress, and she could not help but feel mentally exhausted and fell asleep again.
