Chapter 1720: I Raise My Head and Gaze at the Bright Moon (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios

It was indeed corpse looting!

Over the past three months, Xu Qing and his group had refined their approach.

Although live harvesting had its merits, it was challenging to improve its speed due to various constraints. Hence, their primary focus was on honing their corpse-harvesting skills–an essential technique better suited for battlefields.

After all, the battlefield was littered with corpses.

Of course, if they encountered a particularly tempting target that wasn’t yet a corpse… then turning it into one was always an option.

Hence, in these three months, Xu Qing’s group’s speed of corpse harvesting had increased by a huge extent.

Now, on this vast stellar battlefield, Xu Qing and his team revealed their true methods without any concealment for the first time, delivering an overwhelming sense of shock and awe to everyone present.

Not only were the other looting squads on the mountain utterly dumbfounded, but even the cultivators fighting on the battlefield experienced waves of astonishment and felt a significant reduction in the pressure they faced.

Yet the battlefield always sought balance. The reduced pressure on the cultivators shifted entirely onto the gods’ side.

This forced the gods to fight for Their lives against the cultivators while remaining vigilant against ambushes and corpse looters.

Looking over the battlefield, Xu Qing and his 18 companions moved like vultures and had the hearts of starving wolves, yet their presence was as elusive as ghosts. They scattered across the field, resembling 19 serpentine blades aiming to pierce through the battlefield completely.

Wherever they went, corpses withered, and weaker gods collapsed.

Even the mightier gods, with the slightest lapse in attention, faced life-and-death peril once caught in the group’s relentless onslaught.

The attention that Xu Qing’s group attracted naturally increased.

In fact, after being ambushed, some gods gave up on fighting the Nianlin Army cultivators and attacked Xu Qing’s group.

However, Xu Qing’s group that had survived till now was not weak and even had a lot of life-saving methods.

When they were attacked by stronger gods, they used all kinds of methods to escape immediately.

If it was in an open space or in a one-on-one battle, their life-saving methods might not be of much use against powerful gods. However, it was different on the battlefield.

Such a move brought about variables to the originally stalemate situation on the battlefield.

Even though this variable wasn’t big at the start, it gradually snowballed and became more and more majestic, becoming a force that had to be dealt with!

However… even when the commander of the gods’ forces immediately issued a divine decree to stabilize the battlefield and deployed reinforcements to strengthen Their encirclement, the results were still mediocre.

This was because Xu Qing and his team were simply too slippery. Despite their considerable strength, they consistently avoided direct confrontation with stronger opponents, ambushed weaker targets, and harvested corpses wherever they appeared.

Especially Xu Qing.

His targets were only gods at the Divine Fire realm. With his Quasi Immortal cultivation and terrifying immortal embryo power, the Divine Fire gods would often be killed in one strike.

As for the corpses, if he didn’t have time to harvest Them, he would directly store Them.

He was treating the battlefield as a jungle and hunting for prey!

This was what Xu Qing was best at since he was young.

At the same time, during the massacre, the clay fox was also stimulated. She secretly released a divine technique to obtain the shattered divine authorities of the dead gods.

Even Little Shadow woke up from its slumber and greedily sensed the anomalous substances in all directions as well as the flesh and blood of the god.

All of this caused it to instinctively emit emotions of hunger and excitement.

With Xu Qing’s tacit approval, it quietly spread out on the ground and suddenly rose from many places, pouncing toward the heavily injured gods.

The commander of the Nianlin Army also seized this opportunity and, without hesitation, issued a resounding order:

“All Nianlin troops, decisive battle!”

His voice echoed across the battlefield, igniting a surge of momentum. Capitalizing on the unexpected chaos and disruption, the commander launched a full-scale assault.

As for himself, he charged forward without hesitation, aiming directly at the peak Divine Platform commander of the gods’ forces.

“Kill!”

In an instant, the entire battlefield fell into an even greater madness.

On the distant mountain peak, those normal Corpse Looting Team members were all tempted when they saw all of this.

The old man who had imparted his experience in looting corpses to Xu Qing also revealed a sinister expression. In the end, he gritted his teeth fiercely and let out a low shout.

“Let’s go too!”

With that, his body swayed and he stepped out.

However, there were also cultivators who hesitated and couldn’t help but speak.

“But the rules…”

“Bullsh*t rules. If we don’t go now, we won’t be able to touch a single hair this time!” The old man roared. He then unleashed his speed and headed straight for the battlefield.

The other corpse-looting cultivators behind him also rushed out.

Although their participation wasn’t as incisive as Xu Qing’s group, it was also icing on the cake, causing the situation on the entire battlefield to tilt again.

The final battle completely erupted.

Rumbles and heart-rending sounds filled the world.

In the surroundings, other than fighting, there was only looting.

Amidst the chaos, Xu Qing’s figure shuttled through like a ghost, leaving no gods alive.

The clay fox was invigorated, and Little Shadow, brimming with excitement, surged forward. Meanwhile, with a single step, Xu Qing appeared beside a peak Divine Fire god. The god’s expression instantly changed, and Its body instinctively attempted to retreat.

However, at the next instant, Xu Qing’s right hand had already pressed down on the top of Its head.

The power of the immortal embryo erupted, the clay fox’s divine technique seized the divine authority, and Little Shadow also took the opportunity to devour the flesh and blood.

In an instant, this god that could cause many races to worship in Wanggu was directly exterminated. Its divine authority was snatched and almost half of Its corpse was devoured by Little Shadow.

As for the rest, Xu Qing stored them for harvesting later.

After doing this, Xu Qing licked his lips. His harvest this time could be said to be bountiful but he was still not satisfied.
