This is a title activated by the Sea Dragon King as the chief instructor of the Blue Star cultivator army, allowing him to better lead the team's training.
Ao Qi wanted to say something more, but Chu Yang had already disappeared.
Chu Yang was going to work. With the heaven-defying ability of [Upgrade], many people with poor aptitude found every minor realm to be a bottleneck.
So when there was a way to upgrade them like using upgrade coupons, they certainly wouldn't hesitate.
Everyone had their own choices. Some believed they could still advance in the coming days and decided to use this [Upgrade] closer to the two-year mark when combat was imminent.
As for those with lower aptitude who wanted to defy fate, they could only replicate Zhang Xiaohu's path, which was to desperately seek opportunities from the trials in the [Demon Spirit Realm].
The stronger one's strength, the higher the competitiveness. Therefore, once there was an opportunity to improve their combat power, they would accept it without hesitation.
This was a massive undertaking, requiring the statistics of billions of cultivators worldwide. It would take a considerable amount of time for anyone who wished to upgrade first.
Moreover, the sheer numbers were astronomical. Chu Yang couldn't have them all gather, so he had to entrust the task to countries worldwide to count these individuals on a city-by-city basis. Chu Yang would then perform batch upgrades in various locations.
He, the Human Emperor, was finally going to do what a Human Emperor should do.
...
Cultivation World No. 399, a world that was quite broken.
By now, the cultivators of this world had been at war with the Sky-Slaying Clan for nearly seventy years. There were no safe zones because the entire world was on the brink of falling.
Only a few hundred million humans remained, with just ten million cultivators left.
All sects, dynasties, and various powers had essentially ceased to exist. All humans were forced to unite as one, desperately fighting the Sky-Slaying Clan.
Bai Nianchen said with a grave expression, "Boss Xue, you should go to a safe place later."
Xue Qianwei scratched her head blankly, "Where is a safe place?"
Xiao Long said, "In even the most difficult world, as long as there is still a chance to reverse the situation and win, there will definitely be a temporary gathering place for humans, just like the [Kingdom of Hope] back then. We need to find the human safe zone here first. These people need your medicinal pills."
Everyone's faces were solemn, and Xue Qianwei understood the seriousness of the situation. Thus, it was not a time to be willful.
She had to be clear about what she should and should not do; otherwise, she would be disliked by the readers.
"I understand, but you all must be careful."
So, the group boarded a giant ice phoenix and headed towards the human safe zone.
The reason it was said that there were no safe zones in this world was because they did not possess Imperial Artifacts of the caliber of the [Pillar of Heaven].
A large number of ordinary people had been sent to underground shelters. These shelters were also sealed by formations constructed using numerous magical treasures, spirit stones, and other items.
All the cultivators were gathered within a sect called [Profound Light Sect]. The [Profound Light Sect] possessed a small world, and many cultivators were hiding and cultivating within it.
At this moment, a dense army of the Sky-Slaying Clan was surrounding the [Profound Light Sect], determined to conquer it.
"Yan Xing! Your doomsday has arrived! Today, we shall completely eradicate all humanity in your world! After today, this world will belong to the great Sky-Slaying Clan!"
A stout, peak Eighth Realm Sky-Slaying Clan member, wielding a black mace, roared menacingly.
His name was Ou Kesuo, and he was the supreme commander leading this expedition.
Hiding in the small world was not safe either, because the Sky-Slaying Clan could even open the dimensional barriers, making it simple to force their way into the small world.
Yan Xing was the leader of the remaining human race in this world. Like Dao Kong, he was the last Immortal King. Facing the provocation of a peak Eighth Realm enemy, he did not dare to engage and kill him.
This was because he was the guardian of these remaining humans. As long as he defended here, the Sky-Slaying Clan would not dare to break in.
As for the Ninth Realm Sky-Slaying Clan members, there were only two of them now, and they also did not dare to advance rashly.
When the outcome was already so clear, powerful individuals did not want to risk a mutual kill with humans to participate in the battle. Mad humans were terrifying, just like Su Tianye back then.
Yan Xing, whose hair was fiery red like flames, held a halberd and stood in the sky above the [Profound Light Sect], gazing at the Sky-Slaying Clan army before him.
He sneered, "Stop barking like a dog. If you have the guts, come in. I'll see if you can last a second in my hands!"
Ou Kesuo also taunted, "As the leader of humanity, your king is absent, and you don't even dare to come out and fight me. Is this the spirit of humanity? Truly laughable!"
The other Sky-Slaying Clan members joined in the jeering.
"Weak humans! If you don't dare to fight, just kill yourselves quickly!"
"Your defeat is inevitable!"
"Your Immortal Emperor is about to lose! Hurry up and beg us to leave you a whole corpse!"
"......"
It turned out that this was just pre-battle taunting. These Sky-Slaying Clan members wanted to lure Yan Xing out and then slaughter the cultivator army behind him.
This world was precarious, seemingly held up by Yan Xing alone.
The cultivators protected by Yan Xing clenched their fists, their faces extremely grim.
Being constantly mocked like this, they dared not go out to fight, which was incredibly frustrating.
However, at this moment, a golden light flashed in the sky.
A voice boomed, "Immortal King! Your reinforcements have arrived, attack immediately!! Immediately!!"
Yan Xing was startled, but he heard intense confidence in this voice. The opportunity was fleeting!
Now, humanity needed a victory to boost morale, so... he attacked!
Ou Kesuo was taken aback. He looked up and saw an ice phoenix.
"Ice Phoenix... Ice Phoenix... Holy cow! Holy cow!! Ice Sword Mercenary Group!! Kill on sight list!!"
Ou Kesuo cried out in terror, but he was too late to react because a golden barrier enveloped him.
The entire sky turned into a sea of fire. Yan Xing, with a ferocious expression, wielded his giant halberd and smashed it towards Ou Kesuo.
Ou Kesuo wanted to escape, but despite using all his might, he couldn't budge the barrier at all.
"No! No!! Save me!!"
"Let's see if you can last a second! Bark like a dog one more time!"
The halberd sliced through the sky and powerfully struck Ou Kesuo's mace.
Instantly, he was slammed against the barrier. Scorching flames engulfed Ou Kesuo, and then... he exploded!
