Chapter 25 The Major Races That Regard Humans as Blood Food

"Does the battle formation the young patriarch has presented today reach that level? If it falls short of the Demon Court's formations, then when the Human Race engages in battle with the Demon Race, they will suffer a disadvantage! Fang Ming understood his concerns immediately and chuckled, 'The Demon Court's formations? They are indeed quite strong, but not worth worrying about! No matter how strong, they are merely peak Quasi-Saint level formations. The three sets of formations I have taught you, even the weakest one, are Heaven Dao Saint level formations! Formations created by Saint-level powerhouses!' Saint-level formations? And three sets, each created by a different Saint? The elder, who had been slightly worried moments ago, instantly became relieved and happy. What was the concept of Saint-level formations? In the Primordial Era, there were only six Saints, supreme and invincible, said to be indestructible through all calamities and eternally existing. They were also known as 'ants below Saints.' Their prestige was immeasurable, far surpassing that of Di Jun, the so-called Lord of Ten Thousand Demons. Let alone three sets of Saint-level formations, even one set would be enough to give the Human Race a decisive advantage against the Demon Court's armies! Since all below Saints are considered ants, then under Saint-level formations, Quasi-Saint level formations would surely be insignificant! This elder, naturally, had no more worries. The only thing that puzzled and surprised him was how the young patriarch could directly present three sets of formations capable of crushing those of the Demon Court. This was equivalent to three of the six Saints simultaneously creating formation methods for the Human Race! Where on earth did the young patriarch obtain these formations? Could it be that these three sets of formations were also created by three Saint-level Chaos Demon Gods... no, three Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal level Chaos Demon Gods? The more the elder thought about it, the deeper his reverence for the background of the 'Emperor Ye' behind the young patriarch became. The forces behind the young patriarch were truly terrifying. Even Saint-level formations could be produced as if it were nothing, three sets at that! Fang Ming glanced at him, likely understanding his thoughts but not voicing them. Instead, he said, 'Once you have mastered these formations, go and select clansmen to join the legions. The Human Race has indeed reached the point where it should have a standing military force to defend itself!' The three elders nodded in agreement. 'The young patriarch is right. We will go down and select many clansmen to join the legions and temper them with the formation methods. When the legions are trained, we will surely not fail the expectations the young patriarch has for the Human Race when he imparted these formations!' Fang Ming nodded, satisfied, and then turned to leave. ... Thirty years later. The Human Race had trained three great legions, and the Human soldiers were all proficient in formation methods. Each legion had hundreds of millions of Earth Immortal Human Race members as the basic soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of high-level Heaven Immortal realm soldiers. Based on these soldiers, and stationed at the formation eyes to coordinate the core of the formations and exert collective power, there were also many Profound Immortal generals and the Golden Immortal commanders of the legions. This was a terrifying force. Although each legion only had one Golden Immortal, the combined power of countless soldiers made it not difficult to kill ordinary Grand Unity Demon Commanders. Facing strong opponents, the Human Race was not inferior, and facing demon soldiers, the Human Race was even less afraid. Demon soldiers might be elite, with Earth Immortal demon soldiers forming a minority and Heaven Immortal demon soldiers being the majority. This was the bloodline advantage of the Demon Court's myriad races, who were born as immortals, with their young already at the early Earth Immortal stage. Ordinary Earth Immortal demon soldiers were considered to have poor aptitude and were very rare, while Heaven Immortal demon soldiers were the norm. However, under the suppression of the Human Race's vast numerical advantage, any single race's demon soldiers would be crushed by the legions. With these three great legions, the Xuan Yang Tribe's Human Race, even excluding Fang Ming, was no longer a bottom-tier force among the myriad races. Each of the three great legions, if sent out individually, could even contend against the combined forces of several races! Fang Ming stood at the highest point of the tribe, looking down at these legions, his heart filled with satisfaction. This was what he had done for the Human Race after transmigrating to this Primordial world! From a race ranked at the bottom among the myriad races, to a rank of ten thousand, they had improved by at least several thousand places, reaching a point where the three great legions could now contend against over a dozen races! 'The legions and formations have been successfully trained. But something is still missing to make them perfect.' A cold glint flashed in Fang Ming's eyes. Legions needed to have shed blood to be considered complete. At the very least, they needed to be taken out to fight several battles against other races to be truly qualified legions. Although the Primordial Human Race itself had already engaged in bloody battles with the Demon Race, small-scale combat involving three to five people was one thing, while large-scale legion combat involving millions or tens of millions of people was another, and the two could not be conflated. Since the formations had been trained, it was time to make examples of some races within the Demon Court. And Fang Ming had already chosen which races. 'The Great Strength Ox Tribe, the Silver Dark Bee Tribe, the Ice Serpent Tribe... these are the races!' The races Fang Ming pointed out were all ordinary races within the Demon Court's myriad races. There were no Grand Luo Demon Gods presiding over their tribes, nor Quasi-Saint Demon Sages as ancestors to rely on. The highest combat power within these races was only a few Grand Unity Demon Commanders, in essence, beings born after the heavens. They were not powerful races within the Demon Court. They were opponents that the current Human Race legions could handle. These races were located around the Xuan Yang Tribe, and in the over one million years of history of the Xuan Yang Tribe's establishment, they had records of invasion multiple times. These were not small-scale invasions by three to five demon cultivators, but the gathering of a large army to burn, loot, and plunder within the Xuan Yang Tribe. According to Fang Ming, and the consensus of everyone in the Xuan Yang Tribe, these races had already treated the Human Race as a sustainable resource. Every so often, when the Human Race's population had grown sufficiently, they would descend to harvest the Human Race as blood food. They would kill forty to fifty percent of the Xuan Yang Tribe's population before retreating, allowing the Human Race's numbers to recover. They repeatedly harvested them. This was even more detestable than the Forbidden Zone Supremes in *Shading the Heavens*. They truly treated living humans and their lives as a form of cultivation resource! And they came to harvest them on a regular schedule! Everyone in the Xuan Yang Tribe had a deep-seated hatred for these races. In the past, they lacked the strength and could only kill some Earth Immortal and Heaven Immortal demon soldiers from the demon armies dispatched by them. They could not harm the Golden Immortal demon generals or Grand Unity Demon Commanders at all. Even though the Human Race of the Xuan Yang Tribe knew where their main camps and residences were, they dared not attack. It was only their right to invade the Human Race, not the Human Race's right to invade them. Now that the Human Race had begun cultivating the *Shading the Heavens* method and had trained legions, their strength was sufficient to counter-kill these races. Fang Ming naturally would not tolerate them and would directly use them as the first target."
