I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 212 - 97: The Inheritance of the Earth Armor Bo Division, Spoils of Xiaoyang’s Plunder

The 'Bo Division' that was wiped out in Ji Land was known as the Earth Armor Division, renowned for its defense, and had quite a reputation throughout Yongyi.

The Martial Arts Technique of Earth Armor Division, called Earth Muddling Armor Forging Skill, is equivalent to forging an additional set of Blood Qi Armor on the body.

It's quite resistant to beatings.

In front of the martial artists of the Earth Armor Division, the strong physique that Xiaoyang prided itself on had no advantage whatsoever.

It is said that in the past, in Ji Land, even Tier Four Martial Artists of the Xiaoyang Race were unwilling to fight against the Tier Four martial artists of the Earth Armor Bo Division.

Logically speaking, a tribe feared by Xiaoyang should not have fallen.

But the cultivation method of the Earth Armor Division has significant flaws. They rose because of the Armor Forging Skill but also fell because of it.

Cultivating the Armor Forging Skill requires the blood of a Mountain-Moving Dragon Turtle for purifying, which is necessary to cultivate to the Tier Four Realm.

However, Mountain-Moving Dragon Turtles are very rare in Yongyi; the Earth Armor Division had one back then, but unfortunately, it later died.

This resulted in the Earth Armor Bo Division only passing down two generations of Tier Four martial artists, and for the Bo Division, a few hundred years is too short, just enough to lay the foundation of the Bo Division.

While the Earth Armor Division was still laying its foundation, the third generation's cultivation path was cut off.

In search of a Mountain-Moving Dragon Turtle, it is said that the second-generation Lord Earth Armor even ventured into the Giant Mountain Range but was severely injured and passed away in obscurity after returning to the clan.

Since then, no Tier Four powerhouse has been born in the Earth Armor Bo Division, and the sacrificial spirit within the clan has steadily declined in battles with the Xiaoyang Race over the years, finally withering away completely this time.

Upon hearing about the Earth Armor, Shen Can realized there was a problem with the Martial Dao cultivation method of the Earth Armor Bo Division, a bit of an unorthodox path.

Relying on the blood of the Mountain-Moving Dragon Turtle for purifying is like how the Blazing Flame Tribe's Stone-Breaker and Mountain Opening Realm Martial Artists would soak in beast blood. The technique is flawed and relies on external forces for cultivation.

But while ordinary Wild Beasts are everywhere in the Great Wilderness, Mountain-Moving Dragon Turtles are rare.

Perhaps the Earth Armor Bo Division wanted to change this flaw, but unfortunately, they didn't have the chance.

As for the Witchcraft Path inheritance of the Earth Armor Bo Division, it matched the Martial Dao with Earth Witchcraft.

After establishing the Bo Division, collecting witchcraft inheritance accelerated with the help of Tier Four powerhouses.

A few hundred years were enough for the Earth Armor Bo Division to gather a basic witchcraft inheritance.

Martial Dao protected the clan, while Witchcraft, besides being used in combat, was integrated into various aspects of the tribe's life, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, playing a significant role.

"Clan Leader, we're not picky; even some scraps and incomplete parts are fine. Collect as much as possible."

"I've already instructed the clansmen. Ensure personal safety, then seek out cultivation Techniques for Witchcraft."

Huo Chang spoke, "How much we can gather depends on luck. Hopefully, we can collect more, making it easier for you to deduce."

Then, turning his words, Huo Chang continued, "The campaign in Ji Land has reached a stalemate. Xiaoyang has not retreated, although some tribes of the Human Race have been destroyed, there hasn't been a rout."

"How is the Yanran Tribe?" Shen Can asked.

Though the Yanran Tribe wasn't aware of the tribe in the Northern Lands crossing the river alone, Huo Chang desperately tried to learn from Yanran.

"It was the exertion of the Yanran Tribe that held off the Xiaoyang Division's attack."

For the past two years, Shen Can hadn't paid much attention to the external situation, yet outside the mountain, winds were rising, and countless members of the Human Race were dying every day.

The Xiaoyang Race's campaign wasn't just in Ji Land; it launched an almost entire-line offensive along the northern line of Yongyi.

The situation beyond Ji Land was too distant to know, but internally, it was rife with turmoil.

The Jishan Bo Division was in the east, and the Yanran Division in the west. These two tribes defended against the Xiaoyang Race army, led by Muo Yan, from both directions.

This situation had formed since the rise of the Yanran Tribe.

But this time, when Xiaoyang split their army southward, they defeated the Yanran Division's defenses in one fell swoop and advanced thousands of miles into Ji Land.

Many vassal tribes under the Yanran Division suffered heavy losses.

The battle situation, originally in a pincer formation, underwent a major change due to the retreat of the Yanran Division.

Upon repelling the Yanran Division, the Xiaoyang Western army immediately advanced from the heart of Ji Land eastward, aiming to flank the Alliance Army assembled by the Jishan Bo Division.

Helplessly, the Jishan Alliance had to retreat thousands of miles, reforming a second line of defense with the Yanran Division.

Later, news came out that the reason why the Yanran Division, which had pressed Xiaoyang for a hundred years, retreated was mainly due to the Ao Flying Ship of old.

When the Ao Mountain Flying Ship fell into a Miasma Swamp years ago, the Yanran Division's Red Fire Warship happened to be there.

The witch array used to destroy the flying ship also employed Fire Witchcraft, and the Yanran Division had both Fire and Wood Witchcraft inheritances.

Other upper-class tribes definitely didn't have the strength to destroy the flying ship, but the foundation the Yanran Division had accumulated had already surpassed that of an upper-class tribe.

The Great Elder of the Ao Mountain Bo Division traveled north from Yongyi, directly breaking into the Yanran Race Territory.

Subsequently, a powerful energy wave erupted from the Yanran Race Territory, leading everyone to believe that a confrontation had occurred.

Previously, the Yanran could block Tier Four martial artists of Xiaoyang by relying on a combined attack secret technique.

This time when Xiaoyang marched south, the four elders of the Yanran Division, who performed the combined attack technique, couldn't withstand even three moves from the Xiaoyang Tier Four martial artists before coughing up blood and being flung back.

As a result, the Alliance Army gathered by Yanran was scattered by Xiaoyang, with two of the four elders dying in battle on the spot.

In the end, it was the action of Yanran Clan Leader, Yann Wanyun, that managed to hold off the Xiaoyang Tier Four martial artist.

And it was this battle that the tribes in Ji Land discovered Yann Wanyun had advanced to Tier Four.

If not for the lack of a formal Great Sacrifice, it would have been called the Yanran Bo Division.

...

As Xiaoyang moved southward, the two major pillar tribes in Ji Land retreated thousands of miles. It's unimaginable how chaotic it must have been, with so many tribes being wiped out.
