Chapter 1223: Great Victory!
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Corpses covered the entire Devil Blood Star. The sea was dyed red with blood. Pieces of flesh and limbs were scattered around the mountains, rivers, and forests. The planet was now like Hell on earth.
Half of the warriors from the Ascot family and Fernandez family had stayed here and became scattered corpses. The warriors of the Bai family from Dry Bone Star Area were exterminated.
The battleships of Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, Mo Fou, and the others were anchored outside Devil Blood Star. They rode the war chariots, shouting and cheering.
It was several days after the battle.
Blood Devil, Gu Te, Bath, and Fu Wei had sent their warriors to clean the corpses, collecting weapons and battleships, and piling them on designated areas on Devil Blood Star.
Shang Chen had talked to Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, and the others. He had also met Shang Ying Yue. They were now in Devil Blood Star, their countenances solemn.
There was one thing that had flustered them: Shi Yan had disappeared.
Shang Chen, Sha Zhao, Blood Devil, and Cang Yun had searched around Devil Blood Star and even Monster Dragon Star to find Shi Yan.
Unfortunately, even after they had spent a lot of efforts, they couldn't locate Shi Yan.
People then gathered on Devil Blood Star.
Shang Chen was stroking the dim-glowed jade on his chest and hesitating. An Liya and Shang Chen were waiting by him and looking at him.
"Dad, is it really difficult to ask about his situation?" Shang Ying Yue's clear eyes were filled with anger.
An Liya urged her husband. "Don't linger. Ask them."
She guessed that the stone on Shang Chen's chest could contact the Bloodthirsty Force. This force was the most mysterious force in this world with hidden, unknown power. They even had ears and eyes in the God Clan. Otherwise, when the Elder Committee decided to use the God Punishment, Shang Chen could never know it to warn them.
As Shi Yan had disappeared all of a sudden, there were two possibilities in this case. The God Clan had killed him, or he had run away because he was wounded.
As long as they could confirm that the God Clan hadn't killed him, they would know that Shi Yan was safe. And that was enough to Shang Ying Yue.
"You women are so annoying. Alright, alright. I'm going to ask them. Sigh, they will laugh at my face." Shang Chen sighed and mumbled with a bitter face. "If they don't contact me, I'm sure that kid is alright. But you guys don't believe me. Argh..."
A bright gold halo emitted from Shang Chen's eyes. He quieted down and the jade on his chest fluctuated soul energy as if someone was ringing him.
He frowned and used the soul to communicate, his face angry.
After several seconds, Shang Chen took a deep breath and then snorted. "He's alright. When Fick chased after him, he had escaped to the ancient continent he had fused its Origin with. He's recovering his wounds now, so he doesn't have the power to open a space door to get back here."
Shang Ying Yue exhaled in relief and said, "I'm going to tell Sha Zhao and Cang Yun this."
Shang Chen waved his hand to dismiss her. After she had left, he turned to his wife, his face heavy. "What do you think about the relationship between our Little Yue and Shi Yan?"
"I think Shi Yan is not a bad option. His realm is extraordinary and his powers Upanishads are powerful... Yeah, a good match to our daughter," said An Liya.
Shang Chen knitted his brows and snorted, "That kid has so many beauties! As far as I've concerned, there are three women with ambiguous relationships with him staying on Devil Blood Star. We don't know how many more he will have in the future!"
"Yeah, it's troublesome," An Liya sighed as she had a headache. "Then, I will talk to Little Yue. That kid is unfaithful. I think when she knows that, she'll give him up. What do you think?"
"Our Little Yue isn't a little girl anymore. It's hard for her to like someone. She's liked only one guy until now. Sigh, it's too bad that it's that kid. When you talk to her, try to use nice words. Don't create a reverse effect," Shang Chen said begrudgingly.
"Yes, I know that."
----------------------------
When Sha Zhao, Cang Yun, and the others knew that Shi Yan had gone to the ancient continent to cultivate and heal his wounds, they were able to finally ease their minds.
Sha Zhao, Mo Fou, Wu Feng, Wu Bai, and Blood Devil talked for a while. They exchanged seals of the teleport formations and then drove their battleships back home.
The seals that they left included the coordinates of the ancient formation in their clans and forces. Once Shi Yan got back, he could use the coordinates to find them easily.
Cang Yun and the members of the Heavenly Monster Tribe decided to wait for Shi Yan.
However, they didn't linger on Devil Blood Star. Bath and Gu Te had invited them to visit Monster Dragon Star.
The Monster Dragon Star was the Monster Clan's territory. Bath and Gu Te were the big leaders of the clan and they had the blood of the immemorial Heavenly Monsters in their veins. They had families and dearly feeling for Cang Yun. When Cang Yun told them the relationship between their tribes, Bath and Gu Te were so thrilled. They had treated Cang Yun and the Heavenly Monster warriors as their distinguished guests.
Fu Wei and Blood Devil had sent their warriors to collect the battleships of the God Clan and the Bai family. They categorized the armors, weapons, pellets, and materials they had collected and distributed to the other forces by their contribution to the recent battle.
After the battle, although the ones who decided to fight until death had received some damages, the materials from the God Clan and the Bai family were enough to make up for their loss. Everybody was excited because of this perfect outcome.
The leaders of the forces knew for whom the reinforcements had come from Fu Wei.
The name Shi Yan became well known around the entire Agate Star Area. He had become the savior of the star area who earned respect from warriors of all forces.
They didn't know that when the name Shi Yan was carved in the bottom of their hearts, it had also shaken the other major star areas and resulted in applause from the big clans and forces around the universe.
In the battle taken place in Agate Star Area, the God Clan had sent the Ascot family and the Fernandez family together with the Bai family of Dry Bone Star Area. They used the God Punishment and the Sky Bridges...
And the results were the obliteration of the Bai family. Half of the warriors of the Ascot family and the Fernandez family had to bury their corpses in the battlefield. Their power had massively decreased and they had to run away helter-skelter. This was the only time throughout the past thousands of years that the God Clan had to bear such bitter fruit. After this battle, the Ascot family and the Fernandez family had become the weakest families of the God Clan.
It was a significant humiliation to the God Clan, but it cheered up the other major star areas. Shi Yan had connected many forces in this battle and his name was famous now.
He was now known as the successor of the Bloodthirsty Force, the new descendant of the Immortal Demon Clan, the eternal ally of the Heavenly Monster Tribe, and the first warrior to ever succeed in resisting against the God Clan. His name had become a hot topic and people were talking about him everywhere.
The bad defeat of the God Clan had boosted the other's morale. They now knew that the God Clan wasn't invincible. The warriors who were trying to survive under the pressure of the God Clan in many star areas began to have different thoughts.
And the forces that were in a dangerous situation in a battle against the God Clan felt new vitality pouring in them when they heard the good news. They gritted their teeth and clenched their jaws to resist. They would never yield.
Just like Fiery Rain Star Area ...
Inside a group of asteroids that had red soil, many warriors of Fiery Rain Star Area were hiding. Yu Shan, Xiao En, Xuan Fei stayed with many other warriors there. They all looked tired.
The God Clan had chased after them for a long time. After so many struggles, they had come to this area. They felt so hopeless.
Benny wore a cold face and he stood upright between Yu Shan and Xiao En. His eyes experienced frost and wind. He gathered his spirit and then asked, "Is it true?"
Yu Shan beamed a rare smile. "Confirmed. It's true!" She screamed excitedly, "The God Clan was defeated in Agate Star Area! Right next to us, the battle against the God Clan has a big victory! Half of the Ascot family and the Fernandez family were killed, and the Bai family was uprooted!
The dispirited warriors of Fiery Rain Star Area started to cheer loudly when they heard Yu Shan screaming.
Xiao En grinned and then turned to Benny, talking earnestly, "Shi Yan has done all of these. He facilitated the defeat of the God Clan. However... the threat in Fiery Rain Star Area is still there. We still need you. Help us contact Shi Yan!"
When he talked to Benny, he was extremely respectful. It was because Benny had brought the positive changes to Fiery Rain Star Area for many years. Half of the merits in this star area's war belonged to Benny.
"I will try my best," said Benny arrogantly.
He discreetly clenched his fists, his shoulder quivering. Apparently, he was so excited.
------------------------------
God Clan, Ancient God Hall, God Zenith.
The ancient God statues stood solemnly in the quiet hall. Under those statues sat the twelve God clansmen.
Surprisingly, Fick and Ranno were there too.
The Chiefs of the twelve families of the God Clan were summoned. The Elder Committee asked them to come at the fastest speed no matter where they were.
Today, the Chiefs of all the twelve families of the God Clan had gathered.
The current Chief of the Bradley family, Byers, was sitting neatly under a statue in the center. His white hair draped around his shoulder. He looked stern and resolute, and his eyes were like stars, mysterious and unpredictable. He looked at Ranno and Fick and thundered, "You two still have the face to come here? Our clan has been prosperous for ten thousand years and because of your defeat, our morale has reduced massively. You should die to pay for your sin!"
Fick and Ranno discolored, but they stayed silent instead of answering.
They had made mistakes, so they didn't dare to snap back. The Bradley family was the strongest family among the twelve families of the God Clan. Even when they were at their peak, the Ascot and the Fernandez families weren't as strong as the Bradley family, let alone now when they were damaged badly.
Byers was the Chief of the Bradley family, his power Upanishad extraordinary at Third Sky of Incipient God Realm. Rumors said that he was just half a step away from the Immortal Realm. It was also the reason why Fick and Ranno didn't dare to retort.
"Byers, what do you have to criticize them? If Haig hadn't failed, how could many things have happened like that? It's your son's fault. He made my son Harson die there! Your Bradley family has to bear the responsibility!" A lanky old man with a sinister face bellowed, his eyes flaring like a wild flame. He looked as if he wanted to fight Byers instantly.
This man was the Chief of the Charteris family, Harson's father, Charlint. He was the God Clan's Butcher and the most combative expert of the God Clan. He had the mad power of the Charteris family.
"If Harson hadn't messed it up and troubled Haig a lot, how could Shi Yan have taken the Genesis Fruit?" snorted Byers.
"Alright, alright. The Elder Committee has confined Haig in the God Sealing Cliff to repay for his mistake. If he can't break through to Incipient God Realm, he will never be able to get out of there. It's a critical time. Don't quarrel," said Aimo, the Chief of the Bramos family. He comforted the other two and prevented them from causing an internal dispute.
While they were discussing, the ancient statue in the Ancient God Hall released turbulent soul energy. The soul altars of the Elders emerged above the statues.
One of them merely announced the decisions of the Elder Committee, "Declare the overall war!"
