Chapter 574 - 549 Kunpeng Demon Venerable’s Scheme (Two-in-One)
The battle erupted completely!
The Human Race and the Demon Race were locked in a bloody struggle with no room for tactics like sneak attacks or ambushes; in such a decisive duel, these tricks were of no use.
The two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation.
The battle modes of both sides were different, but what was common was the precise allocation of forces, utilizing every bit of strength to launch effective strikes against the enemy.
The Demon Race only dispatched a small portion of their forces to encircle the Human Race.
The rest of the Demon Race was strategically reserved, ready to deliver precision strikes to certain areas at any time.
...
Crash!
Crash!
Deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was a massive palace forged from gray stone, perfectly blending with the surrounding void, its aura hidden and ready to escape at any moment.
Inside this palace sat an elder.
The elder’s aura was ancient, exuding a trace of terrifying presence.
This was none other than the Kunpeng Demon Venerable.
At this moment, the Kunpeng Demon Venerable was emanating a terrifying aura, extremely powerful, seemingly ready to break through the limits of the Peak of Divinity Transformation and step into the Half-Step Void Refining Realm.
In front of the Kunpeng Demon Venerable stood a young girl, her cultivation at only the Golden Core Peak.
By the girl’s side lay a scroll, which depicted the terrain of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and Chu Country. On it were numerous red and blue dots, representing the forces from both sides interlocked in relentless confrontation.
Not only did red dots vanish but blue dots also disappeared.
The girl activated a secret technique, using the map to issue commands forward.
Immediately, countless red dots shifted positions, establishing attack targets and delivering precision strikes to certain objectives.
Who would have thought that commanding hundreds of billions of the Demon Race in their offensive against the Human Race, including countless Golden Core Demon Cultivators, Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, and even Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators, was all orchestrated by a Golden Core girl.
This Golden Core girl was originally an Ant Queen, once commanding tens of billions of ants in an assault on a target.
Similarly, now, the girl was directing hundreds of billions of demon cultivators, directing the beast tide, to execute precise strikes on the Human Race.
Historically, the Demon Race’s attack on the Human Race has been overwhelming like a tidal wave. However, though it may seem like an uncoordinated rush, poor coordination was a small issue given sufficient forces and powerful demon cultivators.
But this time, in this grand duel between the Human Race and the Demon Race, precise utilization of every bit of force to execute precise strikes on the enemy was imperative.
Thus, this Ant Queen was invited by the Kunpeng Demon Venerable to command the demon army’s assault.
The results were quite good!
With the same force configuration, in the hands of this Ant Queen girl, nothing was wasted, and no force was redundant. Every force on the battlefield could exert its intended effect, delivering lethal blows to the enemy.
"Thank you, Dao Friend!"
The Kunpeng Demon Race spoke, "If this time we can annihilate Chu Country, you will have the greatest merit!"
The Ant Queen girl smiled wryly, "The art of warfare is nothing more than two points: one is to concentrate advantageous forces for the rapid elimination of the enemy. If we do not hold an advantage in the overall situation, we ought to achieve superiority locally. This requires skill and strong calculation abilities. Here, the calculation is not about scheming but about performing vast data calculations to perfectly distribute forces!"
"The second is to reduce our own vulnerabilities. Especially now, with the Demon Race deploying thirty Divinity Transformation, five thousand Nascent Soul Great Demons, and fifteen thousand Golden Core Great Demons, the number of lower-level demon beasts is incalculable. The exact forces of the Human Race are unknown, but they’re numerous overall!"
"In such a confrontation, there is no possibility for cunning strategies; what’s necessary is to reduce our own vulnerabilities and minimize our force losses. Also, deploying a certain reserve to fill in vulnerabilities. In the final intense battle, whoever still has reserves left will be victorious!"
Saying this, the Ant Queen girl did not show any joy, but instead, worry, "Senior, I certainly excel in warfare and precisely utilize every step. But there are too many uncertainties, and I need to confirm two matters?"
Kunpeng Demon Venerable said, "Dao Friend, please speak?"
The Ant Queen girl asked, "Senior, will Yue Country and Wu Country provide aid to Chu Country? Right now, we hold the advantage over Chu Country, but once Yue Country and Wu Country intervene, we will be at a disadvantage in terms of forces."
Kunpeng Demon Venerable replied, "No, they won’t!"
The Ant Queen girl said, "Second, is there a second Half-Step Void Refining in Chu Country?"
Kunpeng Demon Venerable said, "No more! Many things can be concealed, but some cannot, such as the amount of destiny in Chu Country. It’s only enough to nurture one Half-Step Void Refining; similarly, the destiny in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is limited, only enough to nurture a Void Refining Great Demon."
"As for a third, it’s simply not possible, not because of lacking talent or understanding, but due to insufficient destiny!"
At this point, Kunpeng Demon Venerable sighed endlessly.
The path to immortality relies on background and effort in the early stage and on talent and understanding in the later stage, but at the peak moment, it depends on luck.
In terms of talent and understanding, it is not inferior to the Golden Crow Great Venerable.
But after the Golden Crow Great Venerable stepped into the Half-Step Void Refining, it drew upon most of the destiny of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, making the birth of a second virtually impossible.
Unless Spiritual Qi continues to recover, increasing the destiny of the Hundred Thousand Mountains to a certain level, at that moment, a second Half-Step Void Refining will inevitably emerge.
