I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Carnage!

A certain canyon near the borders of Great Xia.

At this moment, the canyon’s original form is completely unrecognizable, having turned into a sunken lowland with countless ravines!

Wei Qing stood in the midst of it, his head lowered.

Only his left arm still hung there, while the place where his right arm once was is now empty.

Despite this, his whole body exuded a dense blood aura, making him look like an awakened Blood Beast, intimidating to onlookers.

In front of him lay a giant completely fallen and lifeless, the ”01” marking on its neck starting to blur.

Wei Qing won, but it was a pyrrhic victory.

Despite losing his right hand, he now raised his head, looking in the direction of Deep Blue City in Great Xia.

He took a step, leaving a footprint of blood each time, intending to continue leading the surviving comrades of the First War Zone to provide support!

At that moment, a note suddenly drifted out from his chest.

The note bore only two words:

”Go north.”

Wei Qing silently stared at it for a long time, then crushed the note, feeling utterly dejected as he shouted without looking back, ”Those still alive, go north with me!”

...

The Third War Zone base.

It looked as though it had suffered numerous natural disasters, riddled with holes.

Ye Qiu sat disheveled on the ground, in front of him lay a bloodstained Commander’s Seal.

His expression was vacant, at times he threw his head back to laugh maniacally, at other times he lowered his head to weep, and finally, he simply hugged the Commander’s Seal, lying on the ground, howling at it.

Opposite, only five of the nine Old Covenant Apostles remained, the corpses of the other four were scattered throughout the war zone.

This battle was extremely brutal, but ultimately, they still emerged victorious.

”This man has gone mad, the remaining Great Xia Spirit Contract Masters are not to be worried about.”

”I didn’t expect him to take down four people with him; this time, the Old Covenant suffered heavy losses.”

”But considering the reward from that item, the losses are still within an acceptable range.”

”Kill all these Great Xia People, eliminate future threats.”

Just as they were about to act, a violent fluctuation suddenly reverberated from the sky.

The unique spatial waves made them all involuntarily look up, and a man appeared in the sky.

He glanced at the wailing Ye Qiu, his gaze growing colder than ever. ”Losses acceptable? Very well, then let me make it so your losses become intolerable!”

Lin Jingxuan silently muttered an apology in his heart.

He had rushed here as fast as he could, but was still a step too late.

Ye Qiu was already mad! All Lin Jingxuan wanted to do now was to avenge him!

”Setting up formations, I know a bit about that. Let me see how the high skills of the Old Covenant Apostles fare!”

With that, Lin Jingxuan gestured, and the Commander’s Seal in Ye Qiu’s hand flew out, landing in his own hand.

The Combat Spirit Contract Masters arriving from the Second War Zone also began to position themselves, appearing throughout the war zone like stars strewn across the sky.

At that moment, a note flew out from Lin Jingxuan’s chest:

”Avenge, then go north.”

Nothing more needed to be said.

With an indescribable sense of tragic determination, Lin Jingxuan crushed the note, his large hand sweeping out; this vendetta would not end until death!

...

Fourth War Zone, inside the ruins.

As unexplored areas on Blue Star, each ruin has its unique rules, and once inside, one is completely isolated from the outside world.

Shen Zheqi led his subordinates in fierce combat with the Li Clan rebels, with casualties on both sides.

But just as the battle was reaching a climax, many within the Li Clan rebels suddenly turned sides, joining them to massacre the remaining rebels.

Compared to other war zones, Shen Zheqi’s Fourth War Zone was instead the most intact, with the fewest casualties.

Faced with Shen Zheqi’s confusion, a person emerged from the traitor group; he was also a member of the Li Family.

”A prominent tree attracts the wind. A century ago, the old master understood this principle, and from that time, he and the Patriarch clearly parted ways publicly.”

”As Great Xia’s battles with the Alien Race have trended towards victory, over the years, various forces secretly contacted members of the Li Family more and more, and more and more traitors were bribed into the Li Family.”

”Aliens are not the only enemy; for those with ambitious hearts, there are no permanent enemies.”

”Great Xia is not the Li Family’s Great Xia; it’s merely that the old master stood up a hundred years ago and persisted till today, that’s all.”

”The old master had already foreseen the unstoppable great trend. Particularly after that genius Han Zhan suddenly emerged, this feeling became even more apparent.”

”The drama of brotherly rivalry, while it may expose hidden filth, the future filth will need to be cleaned by us.”

He handed a note to Shen Zheqi.

On the note was the familiar handwriting of Teacher Li Shutong:

”Lead the Fourth War Zone, preserve your strength, and teleport north through these ruins.”

...

An unnamed lonely island.

Corpses lay everywhere.

Every Combat Spirit Contract Master selected from Zone Eight had their face covered by a layer of blurred light, even in death, it was impossible to see their true features.

This was both a form of resolve and protection for their families and relatives.

At the forefront was the person in charge of the Eighth War Zone, ”Wu,” with his foot on the head of a previously arrogant attacker.

Zone Eight suffered significant losses, but the elite force sent by the Imperial was completely annihilated; compared to them, such losses were acceptable.

”Leader, should we continue building the teleportation gate?”

”Wu” crushed the head under his foot, listening to his subordinate’s words, he shook his head.

”The teleportation gate to Deep Blue City doesn’t need to be built anymore, activate another gate instead. We begin now, head north.”

...

Deep Blue City battlefield.

Li Shutong and Void exchanged blows countless times in the sky, pulling back to a distance once more.

Gongyang Jin and the Crimson Queen fought each other, neither able to overcome the other.

On paper, the Insect Race still had Nightmare and Mad Beast glaring, appearing to have the upper hand.

”You’ve made all your moves, haven’t you?” This was the first time Li Shutong spoke since the battle began, ”Can Shang Company, Longevity Company, the Old Covenant, the Imperial, and those greedy and corrupt old guys within Great Xia. Those are all your cards.”

”You guessed it all?” The voice of Void echoed from an endless dark vortex, it asked somewhat surprised.

”No, there’s no need to guess. From the moment you made a move against me, I assumed everyone was my enemy.”

Li Shutong’s words astonished everyone, for none had imagined that he held such a mindset from the very beginning.

What kind of person could think so profoundly, and what kind of courage allowed him to think that way?

This was tantamount to being at odds with all the forces on Blue Star, truly an enemy of the world!

”You knew, but did nothing. Now saying this, don’t you think it’s too late?”

”You’ve said I did nothing? Or do you think the eight major war zones crafted from a century of Great Xia’s foundation, built upon by the students I’ve taught, cannot compare to your temporary alliances, full of infighting?”

Li Shutong said calmly, ”They will not give their all, that’s their biggest flaw.”

”If the Longevity Company dispatched all Biochemical Warriors numbered in the top 10. If Can Shang Technology, instead of cutting contact and transportation ships, chose to besiege the Second War Zone. If the Old Covenant’s Twelve Apostles all mobilized. If the Imperial wasn’t so arrogant and dispatched the main Knight Order to encircle and annihilate the Eighth War Zone.”

”Then, I Li Shutong would not be standing here, but instead bowing in submission.”

But that’s impossible.

Just as Li Shutong said, these temporarily allied allies, regardless of their purposes or interests, cooperating with the Insect Race, could never truly unite, and would inevitably guard against each other.

The cost and benefit would always be their primary concern at the first moment.

This is why Li Shutong dared to have the courage to be enemies with the world.

”Hey, even if what you say is all true, have you ever thought about how to solve me?”

As these words sank in, Void’s form expanded once more.

This time, it wasn’t just half the sky, but the entire sky cloaked in darkness, consuming everything!

It broke through the Nine Yang Seal, successfully merging with the Void Origin!

Surpassing Tier Nine!

Everyone, including all the Insect Race, subconsciously wanted to kneel in reverence.

Faced with this terrifying pressure, they seemed to see a true god.

And now, that god wanted to kill them all!
