Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 181: The Fierce Battle Came to an End

Ellen and Wilick looked at each other. This was the first time they had seen the projection of the Awakened ones' ancestors. Although the tall void above their heads was only a projection of the Origin Energy of their respective ancestral lifeforms, they could vaguely feel the might and might of their ancestral lifeforms. At the end of each other's source of life, these powerful existences were linked by genes that transcended the unimaginable river of time, casting an image of their ancient existence at this moment.

One couldn't help but wonder just how many formidable existences were there at the beginning of the universe when the Ancient Era fell into desolation? What was the reason that caused them to wither away? In the end, under the dilution of time, only by tracing the origin of their genes could their lives be able to come into contact with their figures.

A rough roar pulled Alan's attention back to the mountain path. The Saber Demon General moved. He dragged his broadsword and rushed over. Every step he took, the mountain path would shake by a point. Under the influence of the Saber Demon General's powerful Origin Energy, many mountain stones began to shake. The weaker ones collapsed and fell to the bottom of the cliff. The ancestral projection behind the Saber Demon General also opened its mouth and leaned forward, seemingly letting out a silent roar to cheer for its descendants.

Kejess did not move. It was only when the Saber Demon General was five meters away from him that the Major raised his saber and stabbed into the ground. As soon as the saber pierced into the ground, the projection of the ancestor behind him's eyes, hair, and fists lit up with lightning. A loop of lightning snake was released from the major's saber, and it instantly spread to the front and back of the mountain path, covering an enormous area of nearly ten meters.

The major is at the center of the line.

When Coggess pulled out his steel saber, the entire pivot array instantly turned into lightning, and the dense lightning struck towards the Saber Demon General like a wave. The Saber Demon General's movements became stiff. This ultra-electromagnetic field could generate high-voltage electric currents, interfering with the movement of Origin Energy within the Saber Demon General's body, and even stimulating the movement of his muscles and organs, thus paralyzing the enemy's movements.

The only one unaffected was Kejess. With a push of his foot, a bolt of lightning shot out from the soles of his feet and slashed down at the Saber Demon General. The tip of the Iron Eagle Saber spat out a dazzling bolt of lightning, looking like the extension of a long saber.

At the end of the saber, lightning pounced on him. The Saber Demon General burst out with a strong stream of air from his chest and roared like a thunderbolt from his mouth. The roar was like a tangible object, suppressing the lightning waves of the electromagnetic field beneath his feet.

The broadsword was raised, and there were even a few milky white streams of air pulled out from the tip of the sword. It was obvious how powerful this sword was. The general first used the middle section of the sword to meet the lightning, shattering the lightning that Kejess spat out with the tip of his saber. Only then did the tip of the sword hit the edge of the long saber. Kejess felt as if the long saber had hit a mountain. Not only could it not split open the mountain, it was instead bounced open by the mountain.

From this, it could be seen that the general was inclined towards strength.

This was normal in the Blade Demon World. These ferocious demons had always worshipped strength, and the routes they developed were practically the same as those of the Absolute Strength Realm. As for the Origin Energy ability, it became a supplement. Only a small number of devils were proficient in ability change. Those devils were usually shamans in the tribe, or even priests in the ten tribes.

Being bounced away by the general's sword, Kejess was not discouraged. Suddenly, lightning wrapped around his body. He was in midair, but he stopped in violation of the laws of physics. Then, he landed on the ground like lightning and circled behind the general. This series of movements was completed in a flash of lightning and flint. When Kejess circled the enemy, the broadsword of the Saber Demon General did not even have time to retract it.

The saber rose again and spat out lightning. This time, the Saber Demon General obediently ate this saber strike. The armor on his back shattered, and a bloody light soared into the sky. The general clenched his teeth and leaned forward. The broadsword did not retract, and just turned around like this. The blade of the broadsword swept backwards with extreme difficulty, as if it was carrying ten thousand tons of seawater. The blade of the sword trembled, and bursts of explosive cries could be heard in the air. In Coggess's perception, space caused the blade demon general's sword strike to produce a subtle fluctuation. The entire space seemed to be pressing down on him in this direction, and its momentum was terrifying.

Kejess frowned slightly. Although the Awakened ones weren't strong enough to break through space, the Saber Demon General's pure brute force slash had the power to affect space. The power of these demons couldn't be underestimated!

He flicked his saber and brandished it with his left hand, dancing with delicate saber light. The Saber Demon General was extremely slow, he was extremely fast. The fast saber versus the slow sword both went to extremes. Every time Coggess danced with his saber, the blade would spit out azure lightning. These lightning bolts struck the broadsword of the Saber Demon Sword Army, but they were like silkworms spitting out silk, gradually wrapping around the enemy's sword momentum. The broadsword of the Saber Demon General had already slowed to its limit, and the great power that had originally affected space had also been neutralized in the slightest.

When the general's broadsword pattern did not move, Kejess let out a long howl. Thousands of saber lights were completely restrained, turning into a saber that raised his head high. The projection of the ancestor behind him pressed his hands against the steel saber. The saber emitted a surge of lightning that shot three meters straight. Coggess sprang up and chopped down, dragging the lightning along as his saber power descended. It was as if a bolt of lightning had descended from the sky, and its momentum was astonishing.

The Saber Demon General shouted loudly, and a few strands of blood popped out from his eyes and nose at the same time. A thunderous explosion rang out from the broadsword. The blade of the sword moved again, and it leapt up like a bird in a rubber cage, welcoming the lightning and lightning that had descended from the sky!

At this critical moment, he forcefully dissipated the Origin Energy that Coggess had used on his sword. He risked his injuries to earn the chance to regain his freedom. However, Coggess used all his strength to attack, while the Saber Demon General used force to counterattack. There was a huge gap between him and the Saber Demon General. The moment the swords collided, the projection of their ancestors collided fiercely in mid-air. Thunder Titan punched the chest of the Saber Demon phantom, and the other party used a strange long saber to hit Titan's left shoulder.

The collision of the illusions was undoubtedly a counterattack of Origin Energy, and the entire mountain path was immediately filled with violent cries that caused one's eardrums to ache. Coggess struck the general's broadsword with his saber, and the thunder and lightning carried by the saber flew out. The Saber Demon General was covered in lightning and his hair was burned. His copper skin quickly turned black and zoomed in. The lightning spread along his body to the ground. Wherever it went, the ground stones cracked and exploded, spitting out fluffy sand and stones.

The general shouted loudly. At this moment, the broadsword suddenly rose up. He raised his saber and sent Kejess flying.

In midair, Kejess spat out a mouthful of blood mist. He landed on the ground and took a few more steps back before he could stand still. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart, thinking about how he had calculated before gaining the upper hand. Unexpectedly, the enemy's casual counterattack was enough to injure him. These Saber Devils, even if they were at the same level, were not easy to deal with.

Nearly half of the Saber Demon General's body was charred by the lightning from the Titan statue. With a single movement of his body, the charred parts of his body split apart, and blood dripped from it. It was terrifying to look at. However, the general didn't seem to have noticed, and he shouted loudly as he stabbed the broadsword into the ground. Blood-red origin energy poured into the ground along the sword, opposing Coggess's electromagnetic field. Immediately, the ground covered by the electromagnetic field exploded one after another. Dust and smoke filled the air, and the electromagnetic field was already broken.

The general raised his sword to attack. At this moment, there were intense gunshots coming from behind him, and two powerful auras were approaching. The Saber Demon General knew that it was not good, so he raised his sword and Kejess took a deep breath. All the remaining Origin Energy of the Fortune Messenger was defensive but not offensive. Not long after, two reinforcements from Blood Eagle Base arrived. The Saber Demon General instantly turned into a one-against-three, and in just a few breaths, he was killed to the point of losing his armor.

Aiming at an opportunity, Coggess wanted to kill him with a single knife. Unexpectedly, the Saber Demon Gunner threw the broadsword at Coggess like a spear. The blade of the sword carried a powerful cyclone, and its might was unstoppable. Kejess could only dodge first. The Saber Demon General took the opportunity to pounce on the gap he had revealed. He pounced towards the void outside the cliff and fell to the foot of the mountain.

A faint explosive sound came from the foot of the mountain. Allen and the others pounced down the mountain path and looked down. The general died at once. He stood up and took a few steps before finally kneeling on his legs, seriously injured and dying.

Keoghes and the other two majors looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Who would have thought that the Saber Demon General would be so valiant that he would not surrender to the enemy until he died?

A fierce battle ended here.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a Beast Fang Mountain nearby for the Saber Demon Army's attack this time, Allen and the others would have absolutely no chance of surviving if they relied on the limited space on the mountain path to defend themselves. Now it was another outcome. The Saber Demon General had died, and the remaining Saber Demon soldiers and dozens of Wolf Cavalry had taken advantage of the enemy to flee. At this moment, Perry and his men were cleaning up the battlefield. As for the ten or so survivors, they were sent back to the base.

When he was placed on the stretcher, Alan saw the soldiers burning the Saber Demon's corpse and war chariot when he was carrying it on the transport truck. These chariots of the Saber Demon were filled with the smell of primitive tribes, but after reading Windsor Belo's diary, Alan knew that the seven strongest alien races in the Yordon Domain were not inferior to the Federation in terms of technology. There were even some aliens whose technology was not comparable to that of the Federation.

Mechanical star Omiska, for example.

Even though they were in the same star system, the level of technology between aliens was uneven. Among them, the most backward were the Blade Demon and the Jana people on the Dark Planet. Putting aside the Dark Planet, they could only talk about the Nether Domain Planet. According to Windsor Belo's notes, the core technology of the Saber Demons was in the hands of the King and the Ten Tribes, which was the reason why they had flourished for so long.

As for the other tribes, they only obtained some superficial techniques from the ten tribes and developed them themselves. The biggest flaw of a tribal civilization like the Saber Demon was the inheritance of knowledge. The Ten Tribes possessed the most core technology, and because the tribes were powerful, they were able to inherit knowledge from generation to generation. As for the other tribes, once they were annexed by other tribes or withered in war with humans, the knowledge they possessed would also dissipate with the wind.

The Blood Eagle Base was located at the rear of the entire battle line, and only small and medium-sized tribes would come into contact with it. Therefore, what Alan saw was almost the most primitive side of the Saber Demon.

Windsor Belo's diary points out that the Federation suspects that the Saber Demon's technology came from some sort of ancient heritage. The reason for that was because in the past hundred years or so they had been dealing with Blade Demons, there hadn't been any noticeable improvement in their skills. This made people suspect that the warfare and interstellar travel skills they possessed came from the shadows of some ancient technology, not from their own creation.

Perhaps even the Saber Demon itself did not understand the principles of these technologies, so it could not innovate and could only replicate them. If this view was true, then who would have left the ancient technology on this planet? Or perhaps the ancestors of the Blade Demons weren't as brutal and bloodthirsty as they are now, and they had also developed a brilliant technological civilization?

Of course, these answers had long been buried in the river of time, and no one knew what the truth was.
