Chapter 202 – How is she qualified to lead two major regions?

The news quickly spread, bringing a sigh of relief to everyone in the Ghost Mountain City Faction.

For them, temporarily avoiding clashes with other factions was a good thing. As for what came later, they would deal with it then.

Moreover, this was a battle against a Peak Tier faction—the outcome was still unpredictable!

Who knew? After the battle, all High-Tier Giant factions might fall. What would there be to talk about then? Everyone would be finished.

After all, no one truly knew how powerful Peak Tier was.

“Set off!”

With Shangguan Jianyun’s deep shout, the hundred thousand members of the Ghost Mountain City Faction rose to their feet.

At the same time, the other seven factions of the Southeast Major Region also began their march, like seven dark clouds soaring into the sky, shrouding the entire Southeast Major Region.

This time, their goal was not to fight each other but to head to the Central Major Region and engage in battle with one of the Peak Tier factions.

Even thinking with one’s rear end, this battle would be extremely brutal!

Whether they could return was uncertain!

After all, Peak Tier was something many had only heard of but never seen.

Now, facing it personally, no one felt at ease.

Especially the seven High-Tier Giants leading the seven factions—each wore a heavy expression. No one could feel relaxed when confronting a Peak Tier opponent.

Half an hour later.

Everyone advanced toward the Central Major Region, a vast and overwhelming force that blotted out the sky. The entire Southeast Major Region was emptied.

After the dark clouds departed, not a single figure could be seen in the Southeast Major Region.

…

The Central Major Region, as the name suggested, was located at the core of Blood Fiend City.

This area should have been the most fiercely contested battleground, as it lay at the center, accessible from all major regions. Yet, it was now eerily quiet.

The reason was simple: four Peak Tier factions had emerged in the Central Major Region, forming four Peak Tier alliances!

Currently, each Peak Tier faction boasted a million members!

At the border between the Southeast and Central Major Regions, an intense silence prevailed, broken only by swirling yellow sand.

Suddenly, countless figures emerged from the sand—too many to count at a glance, their numbers blotting out the sky.

These were the seven factions from the Southeast Major Region, led by the seven High-Tier Giants.

The Ghost Mountain City Faction was among them, but with only a hundred thousand members, they were insignificant, relegated to the fringes, ignored by others, and seemingly there just to make up the numbers.

“Our Southeast Major Region has arrived. Where are the people from the Southwest Major Region?” one High-Tier Giant asked solemnly, his gaze fixed on the southwest.

“They should be here soon!” replied another High-Tier Giant.

“With just our Southeast Major Region, we’re no match for a Peak Tier faction,” another High-Tier Giant snorted. It had been agreed that two major regions would join forces to attack the Peak Tier faction.

“Don’t worry. They’ll appear soon.”

“I heard… an alliance leader has been chosen?” one High-Tier Giant sneered.

“That’s right! Her name is Tang Hongyi.”

“What qualifications does she have to lead two major regions?” another High-Tier Giant protested. They were all High-Tier Giants—why should they take orders from her?

Moreover, this alliance leader came from the Southwest Major Region, not their Southeast Major Region.

Another explained, “This woman is incredibly strong, not far from Peak Tier. Her red Aura Radiance has already reached 87%! Only 13% of her golden Aura Radiance remains!”

With that, he cast a cold gaze at the discontented High-Tier Giant. “A High-Tier Giant of your caliber—are you a match for her?”

The High-Tier Giant choked back his words; he truly was no match for her.

The assessment of a High-Tier Giant’s Combat Power was straightforward—it depended on how much red Aura Radiance they possessed.

For these High-Tier Giants, their red Aura Radiance only accounted for about 10%.

Yet, this Tang Hongyi possessed a staggering 87%! It could be called Heaven-Defying.

Just one step further, and she could potentially become a Peak Tier existence! Naturally, they were no match for her.

“Putting it that way, choosing this woman as the alliance leader does seem reasonable,” nodded a High-Tier Giant from the Southeast Region. He knew well that the role of alliance leader was no easy task. When the time came to face the Peak Tier in battle, the alliance leader would be at the forefront.

How perilous close combat with a Peak Tier would be was obvious even to a fool. He had no interest in the position whatsoever.

Better to let someone more capable handle it!

“Has that Ye Sheng arrived yet?” one High-Tier Giant asked, glancing toward the periphery.

“He has!” another nodded with a slight smile. “He still has some use. Though his faction is small, he is, after all, a High-Tier Giant who can assist us!

At the very least, he’ll make a decent cannon fodder!”

“Haha, exactly!”

Several High-Tier Giants laughed in agreement.

They had originally planned to eliminate Ye Sheng as soon as the third round of faction battles began, but they hadn’t anticipated the emergence of a ‘Peak Tier’ Aberration.

This forced all High-Tier Giant factions to temporarily unite.

“They’re here!” a High-Tier Giant suddenly exclaimed, looking toward the southwest.

In the southwest, amidst the swirling yellow sand, dense figures began to emerge. Their numbers were even more staggering than those of the Southeast Region!

This time, the Southwest Region’s strength was clearly superior to that of the Southeast Region.

There were over a dozen factions, both large and small.

Each was led by a High-Tier Giant.

In contrast, the Southeast Region… had only eight factions.

And that was only because Ye Sheng had suddenly appeared; otherwise, there would have been just seven, putting them at a numerical disadvantage from the start.

In terms of Expert quality, they had someone like Tang Hongyi, a High-Tier Giant nearing the Peak Tier, making their strength exceptionally formidable!

The appearance of the Southwest Region immediately drew the attention of everyone in the Southeast Region.

The Southwest Region’s forces surged like a tide, a dark, imposing mass teeming with Experts, fierce and intimidating.

Seeing this…

A High-Tier Giant from the Southeast Region finally felt relieved. As he had said, the Southeast Region alone was no match for a Peak Tier faction.

Now, with the two regions joining forces, the number of High-Tier Giants alone reached a terrifying twenty or more!

The number of Intermediate-Tier Giants was even greater!

As for Beginner-Tier Giants, they weren’t even worth counting.

The remaining Super-Limit Tier fighters, both large and small, were beyond calculation.

Such a luxurious lineup, assembled solely to confront a single Peak Tier faction, could only be described as extravagant.

“This battle is surely ours to win!”

This sight clearly bolstered the confidence of many.

With such an impressive lineup, what did it matter if it was a Peak Tier?

When the time came, they would be crushed all the same!

…

Within the Ghost Mountain City Faction.

Ye Sheng, clad in white robes, hovered at the forefront of the group, followed by Shangguan Jianyun, Xu Xingchen, and the others.

“Are they celebrating too soon?” Xu Xingchen adjusted his glasses, a cold smile on his face. “That’s a Peak Tier, a level beyond Giants!

“And… each Peak Tier faction has a million members, with countless Experts pledging allegiance. Even if two major regions united, they might not be their match.”

Shangguan Jianyun nodded, his expression darkening as he said, “Indeed, we were perhaps too optimistic… They likely underestimated the Peak Tier! Problems will arise.”

Ye Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing toward the figures emerging from the southwestern region. His eyes narrowed slightly as he spotted a familiar silhouette among them.
