Don't Mess with That Dragon

Austin unexpectedly gained an opportunity to integrate and transform the multi-attribute Rasengan, so he continued to meditate.

Time flowed by, little by little.

The harvest accumulated slowly like raindrops.

Finally, after more than a dozen days, Austin felt he had achieved some insight and began to attempt creating the Four Spirits Sword Array.

First, was to build a relatively stable foundational framework.

This wasn't considered difficult.

The four Law Divine Swords suspended in the void nearly formed a unified "sphere." What Austin needed to do was like piling bricks and lime on the outer layer of a pre-built house skeleton.

This work took several days of effort before a basic framework was finally constructed.

However, the challenge was how to move forward from here.

The four Law Divine Swords, polished and strengthened by Austin, unfolded in the void, forming merely a prototype enhanced domain. In terms of offensive and defensive capabilities, it still had a long way to go before success.

"What should I do next?"

Austin couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

...

Just as Austin was painstakingly creating the Four Spirits Sword Array and the Dragon Nest Tribe was steadily developing.

At this moment in the outside world, war had already spread, with blades and fire sweeping across large areas of the Kawa Great Forest.

The Beastman Tribe Alliance's army finally launched a massive offensive against the undead-occupied lands before the cold winter ended.

Those large super-beastman tribes once supported along the border to fight humans in blood battles had become a sharp blade turned against themselves.

Not only the Tribe Alliance participated, but humans also joined in, with tens of thousands of elite troops and beastman armies together conducting this sweeping retaliatory war across the Kawa Great Forest.

The timing of this counterattack was meticulously chosen.

During the cold winter, these mutated undead were already limited in activity sensitivity.

With the human elite army joining in, the united forces progressed swiftly like a hot knife through butter.

Vast areas were raided, countless undead were purged.

The lands controlled by undead were entirely fallen, and those pyramid structures were destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

Everything proceeded smoothly, though some wise individuals sensed something amiss.

Yet, more were optimistic about the future of warfare, and any dissent was submerged in the crowd.

Meanwhile, the legendary figures behind everything remained eerily silent.

Cannon fodder is ultimately meant to be consumed.

If the Beastman Royal Court had no backup plan, the legacy of the Beastman Empire from years past would have been fully depleted, and everything would be joyous.

However, if those pure-blooded beastmen possessed a secret weapon, consuming one wave to probe reality wouldn't be bad.

The numerous Tribe Alliance beastmen were the best reconnaissance tool.

Thus,

The triumphantly advancing united army charged straight into the core region occupied by the Beastman Royal Court, intending to eliminate the remnants of the Beastman Empire entirely.

Their momentum was unstoppable.

The vast multitude, over a million beastman armies, hadn't realized they were merely reconnaissance cannon fodder.

So, they surged mightily towards the core area.

Then, they encountered an annihilating attack.

That day,

Upon passing a massive gorge, before reaching the core area of the Kawa Great Forest, three to four hundred miles away from the Beastman Royal Court.

An explosion suddenly occurred.

Like a sun rising slowly from the horizon, the intense heat instantly evaporated tens of thousands of central beastmen, even soil and rock turned to glass instantly, vast soil transformed into dark red lava under the sweep of the fiery shockwave.

Massive clouds of smoke ascended, rising above the intense heat of the Fireball, like a gigantic mushroom cloud slowly ascending across the land!

That unknown explosion took away tens of thousands of beastman lives in an instant.

More beastmen were seriously injured under the subsequent shockwave sweep,

With the Beastman Alliance army's fortunes reversed, over a million suffered casualties, leading to their defeat.

From beginning to end, the Beastman Royal Court didn't even reveal itself.

Simultaneously, afar on the battlefield.

A perceivable tide rippled in the void, several magnificent figures gathered together.

The powerful aura of these figures merged into the void, seemingly casting aside the entire heaven and earth.

They were figures of great stature.

Moreover, among great figures, their words could decide the fall of a duchy, the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of beings.

They stood at the undisputed peak of the Prime Material Plane while Divine beings were hidden, and Epic figures were in retreat.

Yet, at this moment,

These great figures gazed at the mushroom cloud slowly ascending in the distance, remaining silent, unable to utter a word.

This was the battlefield over a thousand kilometers apart.

Even over such a remote distance, the destructive power could still be felt.

"How do you see this?"

A deep voice reverberated through the void, lightly rippling the air.

"As expected of the pure-blooded beastmen who founded the Beastman Empire back then. Even though they've fallen, they still possess means to survive or achieve mutual destruction."

Another slightly sharp and sinister voice sounded.

A brief silence followed.

For as legendary figures, they too felt the destructive force emanating from the battlefield where the mushroom cloud arose,

A terrifying power even they couldn't withstand!

A force capable of slaying anyone among them.

The probe was indeed correct.

Over a million beastman alliance forces ultimately uncovered something.

"Likely, the pure-blooded beastmen may have nothing more, but if they do, it won't be much. Next, we need to continue organizing counterattacks."

"But the alliance has already collapsed, over half a million beastmen casualties, they won't continue anymore."

"The human coalition hasn't been defeated, presumably they pre-received intelligence to evade this catastrophe, afterward, rally all external forces surrounding the Kawa Great Forest, attack together. Once isn't enough, then twice, thrice, until all of their depths are exhausted!"

Someone's cold voice uttered, devoid of any emotion.

His intention was to organize all sentient forces in the Kawa Great Forest, whether large or small tribes, or Lords of Magical Beasts with minions, into a grand army to continue using lives to deplete the Beastman Royal Court's destructive weaponry.

"What if someone doesn't follow orders?"

"Do they dare?"

Indeed they daren't,

The order united by several legendary figures.

Unless a power was inherently within the Legendary Realm, or had legend-level backing.

Otherwise, destined to be reconnaissance cannon fodder.

The negotiation was decided.

Following the collapse of the tribe alliance, and gathering remaining forces, individual strong emissaries, bearing legends' orders, started heading out in all directions.
