Chapter 680: The Great Battle Begins!
March Civilization, the Octopus People quickly communicated using brainwaves.
The Ancient Insect's brave stand was crucial, giving morale a huge boost!
The leader of the Chi Civilization, who had clenched his fist, also relaxed.
"Damn it, there are reinforcements."
The Iron Key Race, which controls the gateway to the Moon, also hid among the crowd.
The bearded humanoid creature couldn't help but stroke his beard: "This is a strong reinforcement... and so many [Demons]... Could it be a scheme by [Jade]? Who is [Jade]?"
Several [Demons] who had taken over civilizations also felt relieved.
Now that [Jade] and the Ancient Races were officially faced off, they had to make a decision!
"If a fight breaks out, we have to help." They quickly reached an agreement.
Even the weaker civilizations felt the pressure drop instantly, as the Ancient Insect became their backing.
You deal with the Ancient Insect first, then come to threaten us.
The Evil Dragon Emperor was furious; these strange occurrences kept happening, as if an invisible hand was opposing them, making him faintly unable to suppress his anger.
The other leaders of the Ancient Races also couldn't keep their composure, carrying a hint of threat: [Do you, Insect Race Emperor, really think you can stand on equal footing with us?]
Additionally, 16 Infinite Qi Strongmen also watched this big insect like a tiger eyeing its prey, waiting for the Blood Sacrifice Rules to start, ready to make it the first sacrifice.
[What? Want to start a war?] The Ancient Insect became firm.
But the Evil Dragon Emperor forcefully suppressed his anger, looking at these people with dissatisfaction. The Ancient Races could indeed turn hostile and bully the weak with strength.
But tearing each other's faces off is another matter.
Because all civilizations were watching, they weren't fools, fearing the same fate upon themselves, which increased their resolve to resist.
Once the weak decide to band together, the trouble it creates is significant.
And the one orchestrating from behind the scenes just wanted to cause chaos, to force them into using force.
It's undeniable that their forceful implementation of the Blood Sacrifice Rules couldn't stand on moral grounds.
No matter how many promises they made now, any slightly normal civilization would still find it hard to agree, especially now with the Ancient Insect as backing, they would just watch.
Unless... the Ancient Insect was directly killed!
No, that's very difficult!
Only a single blow that kills can intimidate all civilizations. Prolonged entanglement would instead cause them to lose face.
But the insect's shell is so hard, and it possesses the [Insect Escape] ability; its life-preserving capability is formidable, not to mention there are six [Demons] behind it, and their specific abilities are entirely unknown.
"Driving this insect away is easy, but killing it is difficult!"
He thought quickly and simply decided to snatch the "Blood Brick" and throw it into the pool, forcefully achieving his purpose!
Pangu Continent can't discern a civilization's true intentions; it only recognizes the Blood Brick, equivalent to a ballot in a democratic vote.
As long as there are enough Blood Bricks, the World Will would re-enable the Blood Sacrifice Rules.
But openly snatching it, obviously, means tearing off all pretenses, causing all civilizations to band together in resistance.
"So what if we openly snatch it?"
"Might as well kill everyone present!"
An evil thought rose in his heart.
This plan had actually been proposed before, but the Evil Dragon Emperor never quite agreed.
Because there were also contradictions among the Ancient Races, they were only temporarily united.
The Evil Dragon Clan wanted to peacefully resolve the Buzhou Grand Festival, to be revered by countless civilizations, becoming the truly greatest clan.
Once a massacre begins, this dream cannot be realized.
But looking at the dwindling group of voters and the awe-inspiring, domineering Ancient Insect, he knew this dream was already shattered.
"Now the most important thing is to unearth the Blood Sacrifice Rules, there's not much else to care about."
As for the revenge of civilizations afterward?
Ridiculous!
By then, the decision would be made, the Blood Sacrifice Rules reopened, and their slaughter would only grow stronger!
Do these civilizations really think they would seek revenge for some diplomatic team? Absolutely not! They will only flee!
Thinking of this, the Evil Dragon Emperor made up his mind, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
He made a gesture.
The Innate Myth of the Void Race sneered, "It should have been done long ago, these civilizations refusing a toast, only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
The Emperor of the Blood Glutton Clan also said, "There's no time to lose; these Infinite Qi Practitioners will attract the arrival of ghosts! We must make a quick decision!"
The Emperor of the Void Race suddenly waved his hand, casting out a picture scroll.
[Myth·Xuluo Map]!
At this moment, as the Sun gradually set westward, the light also dimmed.
With the casting of this scroll, a huge transparent shield-like material appeared in the sky, covering Baiyu Square.
This shield was so grand, it seemed to expand infinitely, capable of containing an entire world!
This was a mythical item of the Void Race, containing its own space, with the ability to isolate spaces; neither Insect Escape nor telepathy could break through the region covered by [Xuluo Map].
In ancient times, the Void Race had survived the Epoch Disaster using this Magic Treasure.
And now, even if they slaughtered everyone inside, civilizations outside wouldn't be able to find out.
All civilizations noticed the giant shield overhead, causing an uproar.
Meanwhile, all the engravings laid out in the square lit up, and the cannon barrels of the Flying Boats of the Ancient Races emitted intense heat.
They fearfully discovered that their connection with the outside world was completely cut off; the Ancient Races indeed dared to kill them all!
[They want to massacre us, Insect Escape has been blocked by them!] The Ancient Insect's voice trembled slightly.
