Next, almost every ten seconds, the traitorous Snake Guard would activate the Snake Guard Mark once, to determine Wang Wu's location and prevent him from using the Stealth Talent to escape. Otherwise, all the painstaking planning would be in vain.
And Wang Wu cooperatively interrupted this at regular intervals.
Even if it occasionally affected the refinement of the Fire-Storage Spirit Pill, it didn't matter.
Because the confrontation between the Tree Demon and the Companion Demon Vine had just begun.
According to the rules of Shaman Village, magical combat was not allowed, so the Tree Demon dared not strike with full force. At the current pace, resolving the stalemate with the Companion Demon Vine would take no less than half an hour.
But with each successful condensation of a Seventh-Grade Fire-Storage Spirit Pill, Wang Wu drew closer to success.
Under the cover of the Companion Demon Vine, the traitorous Snake Guard had no idea what he was up to. Otherwise, it would have screamed warnings at the first opportunity.
Seeing the Fire-Storage Spirit Pill would instantly give away Wang Wu's actions.
Back and forth, both sides felt they had the upper hand.
Wang Wu exhausted all 200,000 points of Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Essence Gourd, and used all the Eighth-Grade and Seventh-Grade Spiritual Qi Practice Pills in his possession, barely gathering 500,000 Spiritual Qi. He then converted sixty percent into Red Flame Spiritual Qi and forty percent into Ice Spiritual Qi via the Heart of the Earth.
Finally, just before the Companion Demon Vine was about to be dismantled by the Tree Demon, he had gathered forty-nine Seventh-Grade Fire-Storage Spirit Pills.
No need for any declarations or sneering jibes.
He simply roared!
"Those who make a breach in Shaman Village, are the Snake Tribe death warriors!"
The voice directly spread throughout the village. Almost simultaneously, Wang Wu activated his Ice and Fire Spirit Root, effortlessly controlling the forty-nine Seventh-Grade Fire-Storage Spirit Pills. They shot up into the sky, creating a spectacular display of fireworks thousands of meters above Shaman Village!
In actuality, this was the most cost-effective and terrifying firework.
Not to mention, this was 490,000 points of Spiritual Qi!
The moment forty-nine fireballs appeared in the sky, the whole Shaman Village was illuminated, like daylight.
All the Great Demons, Little Demons, and Human Race Cultivators, whether cultivating or in seclusion, were instantly alarmed.
At that moment, if those First-Grade Great Demons and First-Grade Human Race Cultivators were not cultivating or in seclusion, they really could have stopped it.
But the problem was that being in seclusion dulled their senses, as if they were insulated from the outside world.
After all, who would think of self-destructing city walls in Shaman Village?
Over countless years, a tacit understanding had been formed between the Human and Demon races in Shaman Village, where all grievances were set aside. Whoever acted here would become a common enemy.
Moreover, the formations in Shaman Village were layered one on top of the other.
No external threats, no internal strife, even the traitorous Snake Guard dared not directly attack Wang Wu.
But this was precisely the effect Wang Wu wanted.
He wanted to avenge She Shoujiu.
He wanted to kill the traitorous Snake Guard.
Most importantly, even if he wanted peace, the other side would not let him be.
What could he do?
He could only overturn the table, letting the other Great Demons and Human Race Great Cultivators seek out the real culprit.
But sorry, they couldn't easily find Wang Wu, so they could only go after the traitorous Snake Guard, because for a First-Grade Great Demon, it was never a mystery. The only difference was whether they were willing to spend time investigating.
Then, no escaping that Xiong Wu was the mastermind, but the other servants and demons involved, they were so enthusiastic when bullying Wang Wu. If they hadn't pushed him, how could Xiong Wu have devised such a losing strategy?
In short, everyone gets what they deserve.
"Boom!"
The colossal, terrifying explosion instantly plunged the entire Shaman Village into a blinding white void, with nothing visible or audible, just a vast expanse of white.
If someone happened to be hundreds of miles away, they could witness the spectacular scene of a big fireball rising into the sky.
But Wang Wu had no chance to enjoy it.
At the instant he detonated the forty-nine Seventh-Grade Fire-Storage Spirit Pills, he fully activated two Concealed Tyrant Body Demon Pills, raising the Passive Concealment level to a maximum of 21.6, recalled the root tendrils of the Companion Demon Vine, and then disappeared into the ground.
He never worried about whether he could escape.
Because, as the formations of Shaman Village shattered, the rolling quicksand swiftly buried most of the village, leaving many demons and human race servants, including the Tree Demon and the traitorous Snake Guard, lost in the boundless desert.
This mysterious desert can create terrifying disasters and miracles alike.
Unfortunately, Wang Wu had no chance to witness such a miracle.
After burrowing downward for five kilometers, he locked onto a direction and began digging straight ahead, unconcerned about pursuit from First-Grade Great Demons or Human Race Great Cultivators.
First, because they had to quickly secure the fractured Shaman Village since Wang Wu's attack targeted just one point, not all formations were destroyed.
Next, we also need to investigate the truth of the matter.
No matter how fast their efficiency is, it's useless.
The shifting sands in the Evil Wind Desert change every few hours, trying to hunt down and lock onto Wang Wu is as difficult as carving a boat to seek a sword!
——
Three years later,
at the border between Heavenly Dao Mountain and the Great Snow Mountain, it no longer resembled the scorched purgatory it once was.
The sky was clear, the mountains and rivers were green, the grass expansive, and everywhere brimmed with vitality.
Indeed, it has been twenty-five years since the Human Race bombarded the Great Snow Mountain with big fireballs, and time has erased all scars.
The interrupted rivers carved out new channels.
The once-high mountains turned into hills, valleys, and plains, while the former plains became towering mountains.
In the boundless forest, newborn Little Demons continue to strive for survival, for longevity, for cultivation, as if this is the unchanging rhythm of the world.
But there were also differences.
Under the famous eight-hundred-mile cliff of Heavenly Dao Mountain, a small Human Race town had appeared, surrounded by modest city walls, within which lay numerous residences and vast spirit fields.
It's visible that nearly a few thousand Human Race individuals reside and live here, most of whom are mortals, young mortals, either in monogamous relationships or with one wife and one concubine, but no elderly mortals were to be found, only children aged three to five, two to three, or newborn infants.
Among these young men, the majority are either Warriors or Spirit Light Crossbowmen.
The women, meanwhile, are mostly farmers who tend the fields and look after children.
Additionally, the town houses over a hundred Human Race Cultivators, and a contingent of approximately three hundred Transformation-capable Demon Soldiers.
But these Demon Soldiers were very docile, very honest, offering free aid to Human Race mortals in plowing fields, pulling carts, or simply serving as mounts to gallop through the wilderness!
Well, these are tame demons, not even considered Spirit Beasts.
Now they share a title with those Human Race Cultivators and Warriors.
They are the Demon Cavalry Camp!
At this moment, in this small town, Wang Wu sat nonchalantly in a simple roadside tavern, sipping on a coarse, residue-filled unranked Spirit Wine, while boredly observing the surroundings.
He now appeared as a Human Race Warrior, around thirty years old, with a Spirit Light Crossbow on his back, a Profound Iron Shield, a bone-removing short knife at his waist, and beside him a Profound Iron Spear, presenting the image of a seasoned adventurer.
Because this is the most common Human Race adventurer in today's West Wilderness.
Danger? Heh, the contracted demons have assumed all the danger.
And Wang Wu never anticipated the changes in the West Wilderness today.
Three years ago, he dug a tunnel from the Evil Wind Desert and emerged in Centipede Ridge, a testament to how peculiar this desert was.
However, by then, the sealing array in Centipede Ridge had long been withdrawn, and Lu Wuchen no longer pursued Wang Wu because, around Wang Wu's entrance into Shaman Village, Master Jade Blade first persuaded the Mad Tiger King of Heavenly Dao Mountain, then led the Mad Tiger King and Centipede General to the Great Snow Mountain to convince the Great Ape King.
Since then, the situation in the West Wilderness was completely reshaped.
Wang Wu was unaware of any transactions or negotiations behind the scenes, but Lu Wuchen, Master Jade Blade, the Mad Tiger King, the Great Ape King, and Centipede General indeed erected three giant monuments at Centipede Ridge, Great Snow Mountain, and Heavenly Dao Mountain. They took the heavens as their witness and the azure sky as their vow, inscribing the details of a three-thousand-year alliance on these monuments.
Officially titled the Western Wilderness Multiracial Cooperative Defense Pact, shortened to Western Alliance…
Wang Wu thought Lu Wuchen quite audacious, and it was also possible he faced backlash from the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance.
So now, the Great Ape King established the Snow Mountain Demon Country, demarcated by a three-thousand-mile radius of the Great Snow Mountain.
The Mad Tiger King established the Heavenly Dao Mountain Demon Country, within a three-thousand-mile radius of Heavenly Dao Mountain.
Human Race Cultivators could apply to enter for business and medicine collection, but strictly prohibited from illegal hunting activities.
Centipede Ridge became a joint economic development zone for Human Race and Demon Race; as for Centipede General, under Master Jade Blade's strong support, established Centipede Demon Country in an eight-hundred-mile mountain range in the southern part of Centipede Ridge.
He is now the Centipede King.
Furthermore, as the West Wilderness was so vast and to appease other Ancient Blood Demon Races, Lu Wuchen, Master Jade Blade, the Great Ape King, the Mad Tiger King, and the Centipede King issued appointments to one hundred and eight local Demon Kings, allowing them to occupy a three-hundred-mile radius.
But beyond that, all lands, rivers, forests, and mountains in the West Wilderness belonged to Demon and Human Races for joint development, which effectively meant it belonged to the Human Race.
Therefore, even if Lu Wuchen permitted the Great Ape King and Mad Tiger King to found countries, the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance still effectively expanded by one hundred thousand miles at once, such monumental reputation and benefits were enough for Lu Wuchen to crush the opposition behind him.
Thus, within less than four years, the entire West Wilderness had transformed into the current scene.
The Great Ape King, Mad Tiger King, and Centipede King each formed a demon army with a troop strength of a million, stationed on the edge of the Black Forest.
And each Ancient Blood Demon Race also reaped benefits, or more accurately, their interests remained largely untouched.
Only the Mortal Blood Demon Races, either due to sufficient strength, became part of the vanguard invading the Black Forest, or became contracted demon beasts, working for the Human Race, serving as bodyguards, which was quite appealing.
Everyone had a promising future…
The former West Wilderness Demon Race, and the previous disposition of the West Wilderness, completely became history.
