Chapter 644: The war against the demon region breaks out (1)
Tang Yin stood before a vast army. There were people on foot, as well as those mounted on spirit beasts and some warships.
The number of people was staggering, and so was the power. Here were all the Tang Yin organizations in the entire continent.
Only a few key people were left to protect much of the continent and ensure nothing went wrong on those sides. Some armies kept order around the Castle of Death, and so on.
But overall, here was a might that had never been seen on the entire continent.
This was the first time that all the most powerful forces of Tang Yin were in one place. There were many people in the Divine Ascension Realm.
Just one year ago, the continent had these guys as the most powerful. The Divine Ascension Realm was the highest level attainable, to the point of calling them 'Gods'. But now, so little time in Tang Yin's hands and that rank had become one of the staples of the continent.
There were so many that the number exceeded 1,000 with ease.
The cost of creating such many powerful people is usually absurd. No one could afford it in this world.
But for Tang Yin, it was so simple that he didn't need to spend almost any money or resources. He only needed to grow spiritual herbs continuously for a whole year. Teach the alchemists a few recipes, and the rest is history.
Tang Yin looked at the entire army before him and nodded toward them. He also broadcasted the whole battlefield to every square worldwide so that many could witness what would happen here today. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
Whether they would witness a victory on their side or death before 'death', Tang Yin wanted everyone to see it.
"Gentlemen, the Demon Region has been the enemy of our continent for thousands of years, and no one ever wanted to stand up like this to face them. It's partly normal; the continent never had such powerful people as it does now. And since I was the one in charge of bringing such a good harvest to the cultivation world, then I will also be the one in charge of leading this war."
"I will say it here today, we have only one mission from this day forward. We must destroy the entire demonic region and take back the lands that belong to us. There are gifts for each person who slays demons.
You were given a token that would record how many demons you managed to kill, so there would be no traps here, and the gifts would be enough for you to move up several levels, no matter what cultivation realm you were in. Therefore, I will not say much more. Good luck to each of you, and may we win over the demons that plague our lands day and night."
His words sounded like those of a hero who loved his land, but his intentions had nothing to do with that. He just wanted to get the burden of the Heir of Death off his shoulders. But since he was passing through the same place, why not make a charity towards the mainland?
And after finishing his words, everyone in front of him roared.
"MAY WE WIN AGAINST THE DEMONS!"
Subsequently, the entire command passed towards the generals on the ground, who would lead the initial attack.
Progressively, a large army began to march toward the dark lands before them. Those dark lands, which were like a legend of fear on the continent, would now be under total attack from the entire continent.
People on foot and by air moved in unison, giving anyone who saw it a terrifying feeling.
From every continent's tip, a strange breeze began to blow in all directions, beating the clouds overhead from one side to the other. This gave an even more terrifying appearance than it already was to everyone watching what was happening in the West.
'It looks like the end of this world is coming.' Thought many after seeing that the breeze was extremely strong and slamming against trees, houses, and even unyielding fortresses.
And what they felt might not be wrong.
"It might be the end of the world after all." These words escaped Tang Yin as he stared at the vast army. On the other side of the demonic region, they were also starting to speed everything up so that two armies might meet in no time.
"It's not like you to blurt out things you're thinking about." Suddenly, Shi Yue's voice came from Tang Yin's side.
He smiled. "True, lately I feel that things are getting much better, but I look at the dark horizon in front of me and feel that things could get much worse than they got better."
"Is that why you put so much effort into cultivation?"
"Yes... I died once, Shi Yue. I don't want to do it again. I don't have the confidence to go back if I were to die anymore."
Shi Yue nodded a little. "Can you win?" she asked.
"Naturally. I'm going to crush it; I still have many promises to keep." He replied firmly.
She smiled once more. "Then why so many doubts? If you have the confidence, do it. I taught you once; you and I are the same. I am an assassin; you are a destroyer. When the assassin is completely sure of winning, he will do it without thinking that he might lose.
And he will attack relentlessly. So, you must do the same. Attack relentlessly, don't hold back."
Tang Yin looked at her and stroked her a little. "I had forgotten that you had been my master, Shi Yue. You still retain that captivating master aura. You should teach; you're good at it." He replied jokingly and looked at the horizon once more.
"It's just involuntary thoughts that pop into my mind when I think of what people might be thinking right now. But yes, you're right. I just need to attack relentlessly. I have no other choice." After saying this, massive explosions began to sound in the distance.
"Looks like it's starting already." He spoke.
