Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 432: 432

The days passed in a quiet manner . From time to time, the tranquility would be interrupted by a resounding boom from Hei Gou’s chambers, but after experiencing it a few times, Xue Wei and the others got used to it and completely ignored it .

All of them were aware that he was doing everything in his power to become an armament master, and while they thought it was but a fleeting interest at first, they now knew that he was dead set on succeeding .

Xue Wei could only smile wryly and continue to exchange his two-colored rainbow pills for the resources he needed to improve Hei Gou’s newfound profession .

At the same time, Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi were busy creating numerous inscriptions that could be used during their time in the battlefield . These inscriptions might be a one time use, but they could tilt the battle in their favor .

As such, they were not going to give up, and instead, they created many different inscriptions .

Some were Thunderous Lightning Fire Inscriptions, which merged lightning and fire into creating an offensive inscription that could burst with a bolt of lightning wrapped in scorching flames that would burn anyone beneath the Sky Saint to death in a mere moment .

This inscription was immensely powerful, but it also required much energy to create, alongside some very rare herbs . Fortunately, Xue Wei had gotten many lightning attribute herbs in the Thunder Twilight Zone earlier, so it was no problem for him to pay for thousands, or even tens of thousands, of these inscriptions .

They also created many space lock inscriptions, as they could slow down or even freeze their opponents in time . While they did create many of these inscriptions, there were not as many as the Thunderous Lightning Fire Inscription, as they did not have as many resources needed to craft them .

Another inscription he made was known as the Earth Spike Inscription . This inscription used the element of earth to create many sharp spikes that would protrude from the ground . This inscription was amongst the most difficult ones he could craft, as it required a tremendous amount of energy, and the resources needed to make the ink required some ancient herbs .

Xue Wei had been fortunate to come across some of them in the Ascended’s Realm, but even so, he did not have many . Although he only had a few, he decided to use them on the Earth Spike Formation, because this formation targeted a large piece of land, and was able to overrule a whole battalion if they were taken unaware .

It was not only inscriptions that Xue Wei specialized in, but he also spent a lot of time refining pills . He had gotten many resources for Two-Colored Rainbow Pills, and he refined them all . At the same time, he also refined numerous healing pills, Qi Returning Pills, and blood clotting pills .

He also spent a noticeable amount of resources and time on improving his understanding of formations .

After getting a rough understanding of all aspects, and creating a mountain of inscriptions and a sea of pills, Xue Wei finally felt ready to enter the battlefield . However, it was not enough that he wanted to go . He had to be sent out by the Army Camp .

This camp was made to prepare the soldiers for the battlefield, but so far, Xue Wei had seen nothing of the sort . This was a place where everyone fought hard for a better living environment, but that was it .

There were no signs of being comrades apart from the small groups that people had gathered in, and there were constant small fights amongst these groups .

But the Demon Phoenix Empire preferred this . The more competition between the groups, the better . Especially since they would compete against each other for rewards and achievement points .

The battlefield was full of fights everywhere, but it was not often that it was a true battle between two armies . Most of the time, it was smaller groups who were charging against the border, trying to harass the citizens, and so on . It was why they often ended in skirmishes rather than all-out battles .

A few days went by while Xue Wei was preparing a few extra items before he just began cultivating again .

Finally, after waiting for nearly a week, a message arrived at the Army Camp . A new regiment was to be sent to the frontlines!

However, this regiment only consisted of five thousand people, while the army camp had more than fifty thousand .

To be picked, one had to display their best ability in a tournament . They only allowed the strongest of the participating members to partake in the war, due to the fact that it had reached a much tighter time .

Now all the participating experts were Saints . Even the lowest-ranked soldier was a Saint ranked expert, and Xue Wei and his friends were quite surprised by this, but they also understood that the war they were entering had reached the final stretch . It would end within a few years, as both sides were sending out their trump cards now .

Xue Wei prepared for the tournament alongside his friends . They did not have much time to prepare, as only a two days notice was given, but they had already gotten ready for the war, how much problems could a tournament cause them?

The morning of the tournament, Xue Wei and his friends woke up bright and early . They left the courtyard and headed for the arena where he previously had fought against the Fire Horse .

As they arrived, Xue Wei found that there was everyone from the army camp, it was full of people, and not only the contestants, there were also spectators . The atmosphere was boiling with excitement .
