Chapter 771: The Extinction of the Ancient Clan

Chapter 774: The Destruction of an Ancient Aristocratic Family

Kill!

Corpses covered the ground, blood flowed like rivers, and the land was shattered. Iron cavalry filled the sky and earth, banners flapped, and war cries shook the heavens.

A massive army trampled the Wang family; the great battle had reached its final critical stage. The Barbarian army charged fiercely, entering the sacred land.

No war is ever beautiful. It was a blood-stained canvas, full of slaughter and death; a single glimpse was enough to suffocate one.

“Ah…”

A scream rang out as a half-step Great Power was split in two, and an iron cavalryman galloped straight through the bisected body.

“Pfft…”

A strong warrior struck, beheading a Barbarian knight and simultaneously slicing his mount in half. A large spray of blood rained down, and the corpses plummeted from the sky.

“Crack!”

A wolf-tooth club crashed down, bursting a middle-aged man's head open like a blooming flower. Red blood and white brain matter mixed together, a shocking sight.

“Boom! Boom!”

A golden war chariot rushed forward, leaving a trail of brilliant light across the sky. It plowed through the enemy's iron cavalry, instantly turning a section of them into bloody pulp, with shattered bones flying everywhere – a truly horrifying sight.

A true battlefield offers no grand views of magnificent landscapes.

If one were to describe it as magnificent, it would be a canvas with fallen corpses as its backdrop, bones and blood as its ink, and the wilting of life's flowers as its embellishments. There was only brutality.

Thousands of iron cavalry charged into the sacred land. High above, the Stone Axe and the Goddess Furnace hovered, blooming with 'Dao' flowers. Petal after petal unfurled, shooting traces that pierced the clouds, while divine sounds echoed, protecting everyone and preventing the opposing sacred weapons from crushing them.

“Kill them all!”

At this point, there were no other sounds; only war cries filled the air. After breaching the sacred land, the battle became even more brutal.

The Human Race's Great Sage weapons began to clash, periodically unleashing fragments of grand Dao traces that pierced through the Nine Heavens, forming new miniature worlds. Sacred light cascaded down, filling the sky.

Earth, fire, wind, and water rotated, as if creating the world, generating chaotic energy.

War chariots and ancient ships in the sky disintegrated in droves and fell. Groups of iron cavalry were also occasionally swept up, turning into bloody mist, with casualties on both sides.

Even though both sides' sacred weapons protected their respective people, sometimes their defenses would be breached, leading to horrific scenes.

Naturally, the Wang family suffered far more. With two Great Sage weapons deployed by the Barbarian side, forcefully suppressing the Wang family's Violet Lightning Hammer, the sacred land became increasingly unsustainable, on the verge of destruction.

Among them were also a few incomplete sacred weapons, which were utterly useless and played little role. Before truly legendary sacred artifacts, they were like crude, primitive tools.

“Go! As long as the green hills remain, there’ll always be wood to burn!”

“Today our clan is conquered, but someday you will repay this with ten times the blood.”

Many powerful figures of the Wang family roared. Within the sacred land were numerous array platforms leading to distant places, allowing them to traverse the void and escape. They were preparing to abandon their foundation and retreat.

“You still think you can leave? Go ahead and try!” the Barbarian Chief shouted loudly.

Various lights surged forth as all array platforms were activated. However, none could open a domain gate; they were all ineffective. It was as if the path through the void had been severed.

“How can this be?!” Many of the Wang family cried out in despair. There was no escape route; all were confined, unable to open any passages.

Before attacking the Wang family, the Barbarians had already made thorough plans. Even if they defeated this powerful clan, it would be dreadful if they allowed them to escape.

If an ancient aristocratic family were to go mad, the Barbarians would surely face many disasters in the future. Therefore, the moment they attacked, ancient Barbarian array flags sealed off the void paths.

“Let’s die together! Take them with us!” Some resolute members of the Wang family roared madly, intending to drag the Barbarians down with them.

“Let us all be destroyed together, turning to dust and ashes!” Many were infected by this fervor, their expressions grim, almost insane.

The entire sacred land glowed, about to ignite. All of the Wang family's divine sources, ancient weapons, divine arrays, and more were poised to be destroyed, vaporized, and incinerated together.

If unleashed, this would be a world-destroying force. The king's divine weapons, tens of thousands of masters, incomplete sacred weapons, and grand arrays—all were incredibly formidable. Once ignited, the Barbarian army would also face endless devastation.

However, none of this could come to pass, because high in the sky stood an ancient Barbarian warrior, the ultimate foundation of the Southern Barbarians. While suppressing the Primordial Ancestor Beast, he was also observing the events below.

A massive surge of battle energy erupted downwards from the sky, instantly engulfing the entire sacred land. All agitation and all brilliant lights were immediately suppressed.

“Heaven is destroying our clan!…”

“How can this be? Can’t we even take our enemies with us?!”

Many of the Wang family roared, their expressions twisted with unwillingness.

“If our clan is annihilated, then calamity will befall you someday too. The Southern Ridge will be wiped out, not even a blade of grass remaining…” The Wang family members cursed.

“That’s right, the Primordial Royal Family will emerge! You shattered our Wang family’s sacred land; someday you will surely be purged in blood!” The Wang family members laughed cruelly.

The Barbarian Chief said loudly, “We knew long ago that you were involved with the Primordial Race. Today, we eliminate you first to prevent you from becoming a greater threat in the future…”

The Barbarian King also spoke, saying, “The Primordial Royal Family will not launch a full-scale attack on the Human Race. Your hopes are likely to be in vain…”

“Weapons of our ancient ancestors, please burn and destroy all enemies.”

“Great Sage weapon of our clan, please heed our ancestors’ will, protect our people, and be destroyed with all the great sects!”

Many of the Wang family knelt, prostrating themselves towards the sky and bowing to the Violet Lightning Hammer. At the same time, many elders chanted incantations, attempting to summon their final reserve.

Though they knew it was futile, utterly unable to withstand the divine might of the War God in the sky with just one hand, they still wished to unleash it for one last desperate act.

The Violet Lightning Hammer blazed, purple energy surged, and the aura of the grand Dao permeated, as if piercing through all eternity. It truly intended to perish with honor, seeking to be destroyed alongside the other two sacred weapons.

“All of this is useless…” Ye Fan said indifferently.

Tens of thousands of Barbarian soldiers simultaneously activated the Goddess Furnace and the Stone Axe, engaging in the final confrontation, unafraid of the Wang family’s madness.

Moreover, and most importantly, an ancient Barbarian War God was in the sky. He had already suppressed the Primordial Ancestor Beast, which now accompanied him like a mount, as he descended.

“Clang!”

The Stone Axe, left behind by the Barbarian Great Sage, shot skyward, hovering near the divine source block. It suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura. This ancient Barbarian warrior, activating it alone, was far more formidable than tens of thousands of iron cavalry exerting themselves simultaneously.

“Buzz…”

The Stone Axe split the sky and pressed downwards. The Violet Lightning Hammer immediately trembled; before true holy might, without a suitable master to wield it, it was utterly outmatched.

The so-called reserves flying out from the Violet Lightning Hammer’s internal world were incinerated into ash one after another. Before people could even discern what they were, they were destroyed by the ancient Barbarian warrior.

“Ah… No!” The Wang family members shrieked heartbrokenly.

But all of it was useless. A loser's thousand words could not compare to a victor's single glance. They were all consumed by despair.

The Violet Lightning Hammer attempted to burn, its internal spirit seeking to break free or even self-destruct, but to no effect.

“Buzz!”

The void trembled. Under the control of the ancient Barbarian War God, the Stone Axe opened its internal miniature world and swallowed the Violet Lightning Hammer. The terrifying fluctuations between heaven and earth vanished.

“Whoosh!”

With a flash of light, the ancient Barbarian warrior, along with the subdued Primordial Ancestor Beast, vanished into the Stone Axe.

The great axe descended, returning to hover above the Barbarian army, radiating holy energy.

By now, the overall situation was settled. The Wang family had lost all its foundations, including its legendary sacred weapon. There was no turning back.

“Trample the Northern Plains, sweep away the Wang family!”

“We will accomplish a grand feat, conquering an immortal legacy! Our people will have their revenge and raise our clan’s prestige!”

“Kill! Level the Desolate Ancient Family of the Northern Plains!”

Everything was about to settle; the overall situation was irreversible. The Barbarian King waved his bone greatclub, ordering the charge. The sky was filled with countless iron cavalry, who surged into the sacred land.

“Children, the remaining battle belongs to you. I will watch you fight from here,” the Barbarian King declared, flying into the sky and standing beneath the dark clouds, shouting to everyone.

A massive army trampled the Wang family!

At this moment, it became reality. The Barbarian army was unstoppable, storming into the sacred land, conquering ceaselessly. With every step forward, the piles of corpses grew.

Their defeat was like a collapsing mountain. The Wang family members were like stray dogs, frantic and desperate like fish caught in a net, having long lost the will to fight. They fled, leaving behind numerous bodies.

At this moment, nothing could halt the advance of tens of thousands of iron cavalry. Destiny was sealed!

Ahead, ancient palaces stood in dense clusters. It was clear without thought that this was the Wang family’s accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years, undoubtedly containing countless divine artifacts and treasures.

Ye Fan stood in the sky, alongside the Barbarian Chief and the Old Barbarian King. Li Tian and Yan Yixi also stood nearby.

“It’s time,” Ye Fan said. “According to the original plan, send out the message and let massive armies enter the Northern Plains.”

As an ancient aristocratic family, the Wang family controlled the Northern Plains and commanded respect across the world. Being one of the oldest and most powerful forces, they naturally had many powerful enemies.

Before the battle, Ye Fan had considered whether to ally with those forces but ultimately decided against it. The Wang family’s prestige had been too deeply entrenched for too long; those people would never dare to respond and might even leak information as a result.

Now that the overall situation was settled, it was time to inform those forces. It was their moment to shine, to conduct the final mop-up and pursuit.

The Barbarian King said, “Let’s go take a look at the various ancient palaces of the Wang family. Not to mention the Human Race Great Sage’s ancient scriptures, there might even be sacred artifacts for refining weapons, and perhaps even one or two ancient emperor scriptures…”

Before dawn, in the depths of that night, massive armies had already entered the Northern Plains!

It was unknown how many major forces had arrived, but the entire Northern Plains trembled.

“Youngster Ye, that move of yours was truly ruthless,” Li Tian said. “The Wang family is completely finished. Even if some manage to slip through the net, they won’t escape the pursuit and annihilation by those great enemies. From now on, they are wiped out.” An immortal legacy was truly about to end.

That night, the world shook, and the Five Regions boiled!

An ancient aristocratic family had been annihilated, as if a myth had been shattered!

For a hundred thousand years, no one had accomplished such a feat: trampling an ancient aristocratic family, a battle that astonished the world!

“The Holy Body! It was he who led tens of thousands of iron cavalry to conquer the Wang family of the Northern Plains!”

News had never spread so rapidly as it did that day. It was truly urgent, reaching all major regions in just half a night.
