Chapter 747: Isolated

The Mengtai champion was as strong as the Mengtai chieftain—yes, even though the chieftain was the king of the realm. Just like a mid-rank warlord, the Mengtai champion boasted power on par with that of a king without being one himself.

Right then and there, he was mocking the gray dragon that had just fallen from the walls.

"So you can be subject to this sort of indignity too, draconian sage!" The Mengtai champion shook his head. "With your strength, I expected we would be able to have a good fight—but your kin dragged you down with them."

The sage had expended all his effort trying to protect the wall as well as the humans and draconians on it, and it was difficult for him to exert his full strength. He had no choice but to remain on the wall, a sitting duck, as he shielded it from all attacks.

The Mengtai champion sighed. "Near the boundary of the world, your authority as king of the realm is greatly diminished. You\'re basically asking to die."

The gray dragon shook himself as he rose erect, then roared at the Mengtai warrior.

The Mengtai champion shook his head. "Human or draconian, you won\'t save either today."

The draconian sage finally spoke up. "I am the king of this realm, I and no other! If the world dies, I die with it; if the world lives, I live with it!"

He stood anew, invigorating the gathered human and draconian troops. The draconian sage was the pillar that held up this world and all the lifeforms on it.

The Mengtai champion sighed again. In a pitying tone, he replied, "You, the strongest of the draconians, shouldn\'t die in such a pointless manner. Why not join us instead?"

The draconian sage replied with his actions, not with words. It swiped its claws toward the Mengtai warrior. As exhausted and weary as it was, however, the Mengtai warrior easily parried his blows, sending him flying. The gray dragon crashed into the side of the wall, causing the ground to quake and the wall to shake.

The wall, which had been riddled with holes from the shrapnel and projectiles fired during the invasion, finally gave out. With a huge crash, the wall that had formed an inedible part of this world\'s history, that had survived more battles than anyone present, finally collapsed.

The crash was so loud that it shook the entire battlefield. The humans\' and draconians\' morale, so recently relit, was extinguished with the destruction of the wall.

Frightening claw marks scored the draconian sage\'s belly. Blood leaked from the wounds, which were so deep that his internal organs almost seemed to be visible.

A rain of blood fell from the skies. The humans and draconians looked up at the bloody light that radiated from the high heavens, and pained cries echoed throughout the battlefield.

The will of the world itself was crying out in agony; the rain of blood was its tears. It was clear what had happened: the king of the realm had just perished.

The Mengtai champion began to laugh. "Hahaha, the king of your world is dead! This world\'s done for!"

The humans and draconians, their hands trembling, looked down at the destroyed wall and the dead king. What power would defend this world against the invaders\' onslaught?

The Mengtai champion\'s eyes gleamed with cold light. "And the root cause of all this is you humans."

The reason the Mengtai and the other aliens had suddenly invaded this world, breaking the unstable equilibrium that maintained everything in a fragile balance, was the humans. They saw the humans grow noticeably stronger in a frighteningly short period of time, causing them all to feel a sense of peril.

One could argue that this effect had originated from Zhang Lie, or rather, from the limit fragments that he had disseminated.

When humans began adopting these limit fragments in earnest, the humans of the third realm quickly grew stronger.

Potion #1 and Potion #2 had likewise become widely available after Zhang Lie unveiled their recipe. When these third-realm hunters consumed those potions, their combat strength increased by a shocking two or three times.

In the past, humans had been unable to compete with the Mengtai. One Mengtai would be able to kill two or three humans in a battle, and only a few elites were able to fight on equal footing.

However, as limit fragments spread more and more widely, humanity as a whole grew far stronger. By now, an ordinary third-realm hunter could take down two or three Mengtai with ease.

As humanity grew stronger and stronger, the stable conditions of the kingdom of Limit in the second realm meant that the hunters ascending to the third were in far better shape than before.

The butterfly effect that Zhang Lie had caused, the initial unveiling of limit fragments, was growing into a storm that would swallow up the entirety of the dimensional world. Its ramifications were already obvious in the third realm.

In just a single year, the number of human hunters in the draconian world had grown by a third, and their overall strength by three or four times. It was obvious just how much stronger the humans would become if left unchecked.

Not only that, after Hong Tianqi remade the united world federation, humans were also considered much more highly within the Milky Way itself. The confidence and pride that the newer generation of human hunters now possessed was the source of a massive blooming of talent.

For those who knew what to look for, the signs of the humans\' future development was obvious.

Quite a few alien races in worlds neighboring the draconian world could sense the burgeoning human threat. They were certain that, at this rate, the humans would end up swallowing all the worlds around within the year.

The draconian world wasn\'t on good terms with many of the worlds around, and even those that were allied with the draconians didn\'t particularly want to see humanity rise up.

After all, among the manifold worlds, any alliance could be broken with sufficient incentive.

That was why so many aliens had gathered to attack the draconian world.

The circumstances of this conflict were particularly devastating to the humans. The draconian world was surrounded by a large number of now-hostile worlds, which would bar any reinforcements from being transported over.

None of the neighboring worlds would permit any reinforcements for the forces they were trying to destroy, after all. In just mere moments, the humans became isolated from the rest of the world.

This was a product of the humans\' new age; their ancestors had hardly faced this problem. Before Zhang Lie appeared out of nowhere, humanity was a far weaker race, and they had to protect themselves from the other races of the Milky Way by taking advantage of the alien worlds all around them.

What they feared most of all weren\'t genetic lifeforms or these races indigenous to the dimensional world, but rather the aliens of the Milky Way who were in direct competition for soulshards and genetic lifeforms.

They never expected that the humans would ever become the dominant race of the Milky Way, so strong that even the four prime races were all but subordinate to them...
