Become a fairy alone

The jade-armored warrior made no unnecessary movements. No matter what kind of supernatural powers these juniors possessed, he only needed to deliver a single, extremely simple spear thrust. The great way is simple, and any move he made was in accordance with the laws of nature.

Faced with this astonishing five-dragon demonic light, the jade-armored warrior terracotta warrior defeated it with a single spear thrust.

None of the younger generation could withstand a single blow from him; the only slightly troublesome opponent was Kongtong. However, Kongtong used a grand formation to neutralize some of his power, making the combined attack of the five younger generation somewhat difficult.

Although he looked down on their strength, even this sliver of the Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor's divine consciousness had to admit that these juniors were already among the top in terms of primordial spirit bodies. Even though Yu Xiaoqiao's cultivation was somewhat weaker, and she had fused with an avatar within her body, her strength couldn't be considered poor. The jade-armored war terracotta warrior had a clear understanding of Yu Xiaoqiao's background.

All five of them actually have the potential to reach the Immortal Lord level. In the past, even if someone had outstanding talent, it would be good if even one of them could advance. If it were that easy to succeed, after so many years of accumulation across several realms, there wouldn't be so few Immortal Lords.

However, the battlefield between immortals and demons was in turmoil, and the fierce fighting caused heavy casualties among all races. Some perished, while others naturally emerged.

Especially in the battles involving Lu Xiaotian, the number of Immortal Lords, Demon Lords, and Ghost Lords who have fallen is staggering, which gives the five juniors in front of them more opportunities.

Seeing five such astonishing fighting instincts, the Jade Armor Warrior was filled with murderous intent. If it could not be eliminated, it would become a scourge sooner or later.

Even if they kill Lu Xiaotian, the Heavenly Dragon, in the future, it will be difficult to kill all these juniors.

If this trend were allowed to spread, these younger generations could become the spark for the revival of the dragon race. Even if the other party is not a dragon, as long as they have good intentions towards the dragon race, they can still do a lot with their cultivation level.

The Jade Armor Warrior's spear was unstoppable, each thrust hitting the opponent's most vulnerable spot, forcing the five Kongtong warriors to defend themselves on all sides. Even with their combined strength, they could only parry and could not find a single opportunity to counterattack.

*Thud!* In his haste, Xiang Kuang shifted slightly to the left, the spear grazing his chest. Suddenly, the spear trembled, shattering the protective dragon light and sending Xiang Kuang flying backward.

With a flap of its wings, the Twelve-Winged Scorpion Demon of Ksitigarbha instantly appeared behind Xiang Kuang. As it slashed with its demonic blade, it pressed a palm against Xiang Kuang's back.

Nine-Ren Mountain still controlled the formation. Giant swords floated on the top of the towering palace, their shadows slashing down layer by layer. The vast sword intent did everything possible to neutralize the spear force of the jade armor warrior.

In contrast, Yu Xiaoqiao appeared much more powerless in this situation. Even the slightest difference in their understanding of the laws would be magnified infinitely in a battle. If it weren't for Kongtong blocking the spear shadows several times, Yu Xiaoqiao would have perished many times over.

"This old monster is too powerful. If we hold out for too long, we'll lose. We have to retreat." Even Xiang Kuang, who was as eager for battle as he was, couldn't help but feel powerless in the face of the seemingly endless barrage of spears.

This is not something that can be improved by fighting desperately. It is only because each of them has a top-notch fighting instinct that they have managed to hold on by the skin of their teeth. If they had reacted even slightly slower, there would already be casualties.

With no hope of victory in sight, the best course of action is to retreat.

"Go!" The Kongtong members nodded in unison, each unleashing their strongest attack. Jiuren Mountain also activated the power of its great formation to its peak, with countless giant swords slashing down.

The jade-armored warrior stood tall with its spear, and at the point of impact, a dazzling array of colors appeared, with different laws and profound mysteries mixed together in a chaotic mess.

Using the formation as cover, the five quickly withdrew from the battle, each stuffing a pill into their mouths, and shot off into the distance without looking back.

A moment later, another jade-armored warrior appeared on the lake, staring intently in the direction where the Kongtong warriors had left.

"These youngsters are lucky to be alive," the jade-armored terracotta warrior sneered.

If he were to stray too far from the pool, the strength of his jade armored warrior would be greatly diminished, and he was also worried about encountering other powerful figures from the Dragon Domain.

With the Jade Armor Warrior's strength, it can only bully juniors with nascent soul bodies who have a great lack of understanding of the laws. This is why it can strike their vital points every time and restrain five juniors. When it encounters a Dragon Lord, it is powerless and might even be destroyed by the opponent.

The jade armored warriors returned to the pool. In the deep water, rows of jade warriors stood in formation. These jade warriors came from all sorts of sources, including various demons, and their numbers were astonishing.

A moment later, a gray light flashed, and an old man with a dragon's head appeared in the space.

"Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor." The newcomer was none other than the Evil Turbid Heavenly Dragon. The old monster now looked much more aged than when he had just advanced in rank, and his body was much more hunched over.

During the battle in the Dragon Domain, Lu Xiaotian was not present when he was defeated by a group of juniors. The key issue was that he was injured by the power of the Dragon Clan totem, which has not been healed to this day.

After its defeat, the Evil Heavenly Dragon dared not underestimate the Dragon Domain any longer. It had been hiding in the territory of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon to recuperate and did not intend to make any further moves in the short term.

Who knew that the Immortal Realm would use its methods to find him again, sending him a message instructing him to organize the demons within the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm to attack the Dragon Domain, and to take advantage of Lu Xiaotian's absence to wipe out the Dragon Clan's lair in one fell swoop.

The Evil Heavenly Dragon originally didn't want to get involved. So much time had passed since the Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor's last conquest of the Dragon Realm, and the Immortal Realm hadn't made any further moves.

Lu Xiaotian's true form has been away from the Dragon Realm for so long, yet the Immortal Realm is putting pressure on him. The Evil Heavenly Dragon is a cunning and shrewd fellow; how could he not know the strangeness of this situation?

Lu Xiaotian appears relatively weak compared to the entire Immortal Realm, but the opponent has a history of defeating the strong with the weak. Although the Evil Heavenly Dragon doesn't know exactly what happened in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm's situation is certainly not good.

These things aside, what truly infuriated the Evil Heavenly Dragon was that after he advanced in rank, he came to attack the Dragon Domain. The Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor had clearly planted spies in the Dragon Domain, but he didn't tell him. Obviously, the other party not only wanted to deal with Lu Xiaotian, but also planned to take advantage of the situation and eliminate him as well.

However, Emperor Yu Xuan did not expect that not only did Lu Xiaotian, the Dragon Lord, improve so rapidly in the Dragon Domain, but his subordinates also made great strides. As a mere wicked Heavenly Dragon, he not only failed to conquer the Dragon Domain, but also suffered serious injuries.

Now, forced into a corner, Emperor Yu Xuantian is planning to use this hidden agent again, even paying a higher price to persuade the Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor within the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm.

Qiu Mengzu Demon has appeared on the battlefield between immortals and demons several times and is notorious. The immortal realm has dealt with him a few times. As an emperor-level powerhouse, Qiu Mengzu Demon is indeed stronger than before and can command some demons and monsters. As for whether he can successfully conquer the Dragon Domain Evil Heavenly Dragon, he has no idea.

It's true that several demonic forces were mobilized this time, but none were particularly powerful tribes capable of restraining a portion of the Dragon Domain's strength. If he had possessed such a force back then, he wouldn't have ended up severely wounded. However, so many years have passed, and the Dragon Domain's strength has also increased rapidly.

Whether he succeeds or fails will only be known after the battle. He felt quite unwilling, but during his advancement to the Evil Heavenly Dragon, he relied on the power of several Heavenly Emperors. Even at his strongest, he was still restrained, let alone now that he was seriously injured.

"How are the preparations going on with the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng?" the Jade Armor Warrior asked.

"Everything is ready, but Qiu Mengzu Yao's attitude is not firm and he will not start the decisive battle immediately. The battle among the younger generation may have to be a protracted one for a while."

“That’s normal. After all, the Immortal Realm has failed to conquer us several times and has only suffered losses. It’s only natural to be cautious. We have to make the final blow ourselves and give them a glimpse of hope for success.” The jade-armored warrior nodded.

Jin Zhuotianlong's heart skipped a beat. "You mean?"

“Now that a batch of Jade Warriors has been trained here, with Fellow Daoist Evil’s strength, you can command this army and take advantage of the current turmoil in the Dragon Domain to strike at its vitals. Once the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng sees the odds of victory, he will naturally make his move as well,” said the Jade Warrior.

"I am currently greatly weakened and my injuries are far from healed. I am afraid I am not up to the task." The filthy dragon's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

He originally thought that the Immortal Realm wanted him to attack the Dragon Domain together with Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor, but who knew that the Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor was even more outrageous than he imagined.

The other party actually ordered him to lead these jade terracotta warriors to the vanguard. But "vanguard" might not be the right word, since the Water Banyan Demon Mother and the Red Demon Ant Queen had already made their move.

However, he has already fought against the Dragon Domain once. Even though his strength is not as great as before, he was once a powerful expert in the Heavenly Dragon Realm. The Dragon Domain attaches great importance to him, which is incomparable to those guys like the Red Demon Ant Queen. Once he makes a move, he will inevitably become the target of everyone's attacks.

Whether he could ultimately conquer the Dragon Realm was unknown, but he would most likely meet a bad end. Perhaps in the Immortal Realm's schemes, they never intended for him to have a good ending.

"It's alright. Fellow Daoist Evil Turbidity is only leading the Jade Terracotta Army into battle; he himself will not be fighting. I think there shouldn't be any major problems. If the battle goes against you, Fellow Daoist Evil Turbidity can withdraw at any time. I will never make things difficult for you."

The jade armored warrior sighed, "It's only because I was too busy fighting the Dragon Lord that I had to spare too much attention. With this jade warrior body, I can only deal with a few juniors while staying in this Jade Terrace space. Once I leave this place, my combat power will be greatly reduced. Otherwise, there would be no need to trouble Fellow Daoist Evil Turbidity."

"Since the Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor has entrusted me with this important task, I will naturally do my utmost." The Evil Turbid Heavenly Dragon nodded. He didn't complain or blame others. Seeing that there was no room for objection, he immediately agreed. He had no other choice but to comply with the emperor's orders.

"Fellow Daoist Evil Turbidity is truly considering the bigger picture. Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. After the Dragon Domain is destroyed, the Immortal Realm will surely reward Fellow Daoist Evil Turbidity for his merits. It will not be difficult for him to retain his position as Heavenly Dragon in the future." Upon hearing this, the Jade Armor Warrior laughed heartily.

"Then I thank Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor. You still need to give me control, otherwise I wouldn't be able to command this army," said the Evil Turbid Heavenly Dragon.

"That's natural." Emperor Yu Xuan stretched out his palm and lifted the jade token, which then floated out.

The evil dragon accepted the talisman and stayed in the pool space.

Yu Xiaoqiao and her group of five finally breathed a sigh of relief after escaping to the City of the Earth. Looking back at the pool, each of them had a lingering fear on their face.

"I never imagined that even a wisp of the divine consciousness of an Emperor-level expert could reach such a terrifying level. This time, we are only fortunate to have the Old Monster of Kongtong, otherwise we would all have been defeated by the Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor."

Xiang Kuang clicked his tongue, his protective dragon aura shattered by the Jade Armor Warrior's spear. The protective dragon aura had not yet recovered due to the influence of his state of mind.

"The Jade Armor Warriors are indeed terrifying, but Brother Renshan's formation is also quite crucial, negating much of the enemy's spear force. I alone cannot lead everyone to escape." Kongtong took a deep breath.

If he hadn't once attempted to break through to the Demon Lord realm, allowing him to glimpse what a realm beyond the Primordial Spirit Body looked like, and if he hadn't had a better understanding of the laws than Xiang Kuang and the others, and hadn't been less affected by the Jade Armor Warrior, recovering and defending himself in the shortest time, then if Yu Xiaoqiao had been the first to be injured by the opponent, it would have affected the whole situation, and none of the five of them might have escaped.

"Let's stop flattering each other. Let's take advantage of this time to recover in the City of the Earth. Our mental state has been affected this time, and if we don't get rid of it quickly, we can forget about advancing in the future." Xiang Kuang waved his hand. "I'm going."

"Brother Kuang is indeed a man of few words." The Twelve-Winged Scorpion Demon of Ksitigarbha chuckled. Fighting against some weaker Immortal Lord level experts would serve as a training opportunity for them, as this was the level they had the best chance of encountering.

However, if their cultivation level is far superior to theirs, it will interfere with their original understanding of the laws, causing their realm to become disordered. Xiang Kuang's statement is by no means an exaggeration.

Jiuren Mountain, Yu Xiaoqiao, and Kongtong nodded and dispersed. The Immortal Realm, together with some demons from the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, were coming with great force. The crisis was even greater than when the Evil Heavenly Dragon attacked the Dragon Domain alone. Fierce battles were raging everywhere, and they really didn't have much time left.

While the five members of the Kongtong group were in seclusion in the City of Earthly Palaces, Sui Pojun, clad in armor, stood atop the city wall with his hands on his hips, frowning as he looked at the jade-colored aura surging in the distance. A strange aura, somewhere between demonic, corpse, and immortal energy, was surging towards them.

Sui Pojun had reached the primordial spirit state some time ago, and in terms of cultivation, he was no better than Jiu Renshan and Xiang Kuang.

Even when he led the Birch Flame Clan, together with the Leaf Stone Clan and the Dragon Wolf Riders, he worshipped the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Sacred Rock Dharma Image as the clan's totem. By using the power of the totem to cleanse the land, he was even slightly stronger in terms of combat power.

The Demon Lord level is too difficult to reach; many in the Dragon Domain have been stuck at the final bottleneck like him over the years. However, while he didn't break through, several Nascent Soul bodies emerged within the Birch Flame Clan, and the Birch Flame Clan's strength was now vastly different from before, surpassing even the Page Stone Clan and the Dragon Wolf Riders.

The city of Dique is still led by the Huayan tribe, and after a short while, the army of jade terracotta warriors is clearly visible.

The mountains and fields were covered with birds and beasts, and all kinds of demons were covered with a layer of light. The eyes of these jade terracotta warriors were fixed on the pool, yet they also revealed a strange ferocity.

Among the army of jade terracotta warriors, the leading six-armed giant ape possessed a powerful aura, subtly approaching the throne.

"Prepare to engage the enemy!" Having not yet detected any other Immortal Lords or Demon Lords, and with this six-armed demonic ape alone not enough to instill fear, Sui Pojun waved his hand, and the entire army of the Earthly City began to move. (End of Chapter)
