Through a view from the elves village sentry tower.
(Elder! There seems to be some movement in the forest, I think Myriale, Gabriale, and Tamriale, is coming home.)
Said a young elf standing atop of the sentry tower.
(Good, with Myriale and Gabriale leading, they shouldn’t be any trouble bringing the foods back to village.)
The elder reply.
Currently, the village only left with around 200 Elite troops, 500 - 600 elderly overseeing the normal task like the plantation, cooking and processing foods and metal materials, and about 500 female elf walking around as their daily exercise, due to the early period of pregnancy. Another 300 young elves consisting of female and young male child is running around, playing within the village center garden.
With the first shadow appearing from the forest happen to be a human make clad in armor, the sentry guard quickly shocked and screamed loudly.
(Human! Human! It is not the two elders and our brother!!)
His shout immediately shocks those who is walking or located near the village entrance.
(Human! Quickly shut the gate!)
One pregnant elf screamed until her lungs are out of breath.
without allowing the elves to take any defensive action, the troops lead by Altima quickly enter the village and destroy the manual mechanics they use to control the gate, the traps, and the sentry weapons. The other troops that follow alongside with Altima quickly comprehend and capture all the fighting forces scattered within the village, and within two hours of the invasion, Altima's troops manage to capture all 1,600 heads of elves within the village.
(Who is the person that have the highest authority here ?)
Altima speaks in the elven language.
The elves stare at each other, shocked with the fact where Altima could speak their language, and the tone and proficiency are quite accurate.
(It's me.)
An elder stands up, and shivers as he sees Altima appearance.
Altima is currently clad with one piece of Feather-light Neolite Garb , and a piece of Master Grade Golden Trihorn Rhinoceros Hide Helm.
(Go and look around on your peoples, if there is any injured, let me know now.)
Altima first request is to make sure none of his troops injured the non-combatants.
(This lord, there is none of my people is injured, except some bruised on our guards.)
The elder replied.
(We just killed a large number of elves before we came here. I believe they originated from your village. You may hate us if you want, but this is war, so this result is inevitable. Now there is one more answer I would like to hear from you.)
Altima speaks, as the other elves heard his word, a few pregnant elves fainted from the shock, while some younger elves rage with anger because their parents are slaughtered.
(What would this lord will do to us if we decided not to surrender ?)
The elder pondered for a long time, and finally trying to answer Altima question with a question.
(Instead of killing everyone, I will make sure all of you is captured. We will be only within this bridge for a month. After we left, we will allow you all to be freed. If you wish to hate us or came in to fight with us, we welcome it anytime.)
Altima answers the elder's question without hesitation.
(If we surrender ? Will we be treated as slaves, and be treated as such for life ?)
The elder shakes with fear, but in his heart, he knows he must ask this question before he decides the fate of the village.
Instead of answering, Altima quickly summoned Ta-Ruk.
As Ta-Ruk came out and communicate with the elder, many exchanges of topic regarding their current life, the place they are allowed to stay, and the quality of life given by Altima to them.
Listened to what Ta-Ruk says, the elder felt like a dream.
Placed in a land that spacious and full of the Vigorous energy of Yin and Yang, abundant plants, and fruits to eat, and non-restricted life compared to how they had been living now, how different!
The elder shared the news regarding surrendering to Altima and persuade the others to obeys Altima command in future. Although there are a few rejections, but at the end, a total of 1,200 numbers finally agreed to surrender, while the others, consisted with many elderly decided to not surrendering to Altima.
After all of them bear the Water Dragon Cannon on their neck, Altima allows them to enter his spatial realm, and positioned a total of 500 troops to monitor the movement of the elderly as they proceed with their exploration. With the progress continue without halting, Altima's troops finally move in deeper, and without noticing anything, they finally end up exploring up to 500 Miles from their starting point.
"My Lord, we appear to travel deep into the bridge for 500 Miles. Currently, the central Ancient Kingdom should be only another 50 to 100 miles away from us."

A captain reports his scouting results to him.
"If in that case, let us proceed with haste, and have a look on what is offered within the Ancient Kingdom itself."
"Ganesha, how many day is left before we will be transferred out from this Ritual ?"
Altima leads his troops to proceed faster, ignoring the surrounding ingredients and demonic beast. Within his map, there is no large group of life being spotted as well, which means there are no elves stationed or living around this area.
On the same time, Altima checked with Ganesha on the time they have been within the spatial realm.
"My lord. We are in this world for a total of 56 days. There will be 8 more days before 1 month period pass."
Ganesha replied.
"If in that case, let us quickly march into the Ancient City and see what is offered within, perhaps we could…"
"Boom!"
"Take cover!!"
"Boom!!!!"
"My Lord, retreat from this area please!"
"Roar!!!!"
"Aowuuu!!!!!"
"Click… Click…. Click…."
Suddenly, tremors appear in front of the troops, and a large sinkhole appeared out of nowhere, swallowing at least 50 troops before the others manage to leap away from sinking into the darkness. In the same time, few humongous being appeared from the sinkhole, and show itself to the world to see.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!"
One captain quickly screamed out loud, and charge towards Altima to pull his stead away from the center.
"My Lord, let us retreat, that’s an early Dao Stage Demonic Beast!"
The captain speaks in a rush, and pull Altima stead away immediately.
"Brother, Scan it!"
Altima quickly has Mobi immediately work."
"I'm on it!"
Mobi replied.

With 3 capable boss level demonic beast appear out of nowhere, the captains quickly charge toward to the Jade Stone Demonic Golem and the Ancient Battle Silver Wolf King. Ganesha remains alongside with Altima, while Wang Yan charged towards the Dragon Bloodline Golden Fur King Ape, which is the weakest among three, and control its movement to allow Altima to retreat.
"Ganesha, quickly bring our Lord away from here!"
Wang Yan rushes Ganesha to hurry with her actions.
"Ganesha quit this kind of thinking, let us quickly help Wang Yan first!"
Altima had Ganesha's hand released from her clutch, and charge directly towards Huo Zhen with his Surging Wave Spear.
With a charging attack, Altima quickly pierces through the distance and had his spear directly stabbed on Huo Zhen's palm, resisting the beast slapping action towards Ganesha. But due to the skin thickness is incredibly over exceed what Altima could imagine, his piercing strike causes no damage to Huo Zhen.
Putting a stronger pressure on its palm, Huo Zhen quickly "push" Altima away from his current position, and continue his attack towards Wang Yan, the stronger among three of them.
"Golden Wave Howl!"
Huo Zhen howls toward Wang Yan, where a wave of golden energy quickly blast through the distance and injured Wang Yan.
As Wang Yan is attacked by the Golden Wave Howl, Altima Charge his maximum output, Allowing his strongest Perfectly Refined Nine Yang Mortal Skill, which is on the 5th Stage now, to create a strong Yang Essence Fireball. With the Martial Art preparation step is fulfilled, Altima charge like a released arrow, aiming directly on Huo Zhen's chest.
"Useless human, so hot! So hot!"
Huo Zhen resisting Altima's fireball attack.
With both hands holding the fireball enveloping Altima, he finally shouted loudly.
"Li sisters! NOW!!!"
"swoosh!"
Two Arrows coated with Paralytic poison on its tip, flew ahead aiming for Huo Zhen's eyes.
But!
The Li sisters cultivation is nowhere close to Altima's or Huo Zhen's level!
Instead of piercing directly into the Golden Fur King Ape's eyes, the arrow only barely injured its pupil, causing disruptions on its sight for temporary.
"Human! Human! How mean of you to play with my eyes!!"
"I will kill all of you!!"
The King Ape went furious. Rolling itself into a ball before his fur expanded and getting harder, turning into a porcupine look alike Animal.
"I will ram you all to death!"
Finished with his words, the King Ape start ramming into one straight line, causing a few troops in between of the line inflicted with heavy injuries. But the King Ape doesn’t stop right there. It continued to move across the battlefield, causing more and more damage towards Altima troops while Wang Yan is treated by a few Medical team and Ganesha is chasing king ape with Altima.
"Hateful! Hateful!"
"This gone too overboard now, King Ape!"
Altima, finally had his sight filled with rage due to the increasing of casualties among his troops. For him, this number of troops is indispensable. All of them is well trained and loyal to him and the Wu Di Royal Family. In future, they will be the one to lead the troops during further skirmishes, so he required all of them to gradually grow stronger and continue following his path.
With the feeling of rage within his mind acting as the catalyst of energy, Altima transformed. Lines of murals appearing along with his shoulder plate, neck, and spread across until his wrist. After absorbing about 300 different Heritage Laws Knowledge, Mobi finally able to thoroughly apply the similar concept into Altima's body, allowing him to utilize the Laws as he wishes, as long the mental requirement is fulfilled.
"Wrath of Commander Armament - Spiritual Law Armament!"
"Shadow Step Armament - Ability Armament!"
"Yang Element Wrath Fist Armament - Physical Armament!"
Altima first tries, success in activating 3 different Heritage Laws to enhance his capability in battle.
With a sudden burst of strength, Altima charge like a released arrow, quickly get close to King Ape's spine before he slams a heavy Wu Di Long fist enhanced with the Fist Armament on the King Ape's backbone.
"Arrrgh! Pain!!"
King Ape quickly roll around the ground, breaking his ramming stance and escape from the "Arrow" that flew on its way.
But Altima's attack doesn’t just stop at there.
Applying the Shadow Step Armament, Altima's movement speed and reaction appeared to increased by 20% efficiency, allowing him to change his direction and recoil of movement without any stops at all. A chain of fist quickly flew out from Altima, raining across the King Ape's body, leaving the beast crying due to pain.
When the best moment finally appeared, Altima laid his final strike towards Huo Zhen.
"Marquis Firecloud Kicking Art!"
Once again, Altima flew like an Arrow released with much strength, bringing along Fiery smokes and stray flame sparks along the way. The sky started to turn Scarlet in color, and the cloud had been split into two pieces. While on the ground, The King Ape chest is totally pierced through by Altima's Kick and died standing.
"Aowoooo!"
The Silver Wolf King howled loudly and received replied from far away.
"This is bad, the Silver Wolf King seems to be summoning for its brethen now.
"Ganesha! Act as you required!"
Said a captain before he charges towards the golem again.
