Born with immortal seed

Chapter 402 A Group Attack
Two days later, banners were unfurled and a murderous aura filled the air.

Bai Zichen squinted as he saw the Tai Su Dao soldiers filing out one after another for the first time; he hadn't been able to see a single one in the previous two days.

The Tai Su Dao soldiers, numbering over ten thousand and nearly ten feet tall, still retained some characteristics of the demon race, were extremely conspicuous. It was simply unbelievable that they hadn't been noticed before.

The colossal warship, which had been hidden in the clouds, appeared and slowly approached Zengguang Immortal City, bringing immense deterrence.

Despite being a crafted artifact, this warship exudes the immense power of heaven and earth.

"The Limitless Ship, a moving mountain gate..."

Bai Zichen heard a suppressed gasp from the Core Formation cultivators in the Northern Region.

This is a high-level embodiment of the Moral Sect's weapon-making, ship-building, and puppet-making skills. Only a sect that has experienced countless sect wars and accumulated enough experience can create such a powerful war artifact.

Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs had to avoid the Wuji Ship's sharp edge and did not confront it head-on.

As long as there are enough spirit stones, it is equivalent to a fourth-order array that can be moved and controlled by a cultivator, and its attack methods are more diverse.

That's why there's a saying that a super battleship is the embodiment of a sect's true strength.

A disciple with exceptional talent can enable a sect to grow rapidly and enter the realm of Nascent Soul sects, but cannot immediately give the sect the ability to forge super warships.

The achievement required the inheritance of advanced skills in various cultivation arts, a complete set of warship forging blueprints, and possibly more than ten thousand matching parts. In addition, experienced professionals were needed to accomplish such a feat.

No matter how many geniuses emerge, it is impossible to achieve something from nothing in a short period of time.

Moreover, the construction of the Wuji Ship consumed an astronomical amount of various spiritual materials.

Apart from the Moral Sect, which monopolizes the Great Zhou Dynasty and possesses multiple grotto-heavens and secret realms, even other super sects would feel the pinch.

The Divine Thunder Tower on the Wuji Ship began to flash, and bolts of lightning as thick as giant pythons filled the sky with lightning, accompanied by the Tai Su Dao soldiers launching an attack.

These Tai Su Dao soldiers were fearless and not intimidated by the Taiyi Thunder Cannon and the Immortal-Slaying Fire Demon Crossbow, even though these war weapons could easily tear them to pieces.

At the same time, all six Nascent Soul True Monarchs from Heavenly Punishment Peak flew out, accompanying the Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Northern Region, making Zengguang Immortal City the most densely populated place of Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world at this moment.

As a Core Formation cultivator, Bai Zichen was placed in the reserve team and did not need to go to the front line.

He was very satisfied with this.

The battlefield is too chaotic; who knows if a hidden arrow will come from behind?

"Du Heng, things have come to this point, why bother resisting any further?"

Meng Kang held a fan with five fires and seven birds, wore a water-colored robe, and had a cloud-pierced crown on his head. He looked like a highly accomplished Taoist master.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; there's no need for further discussion... If you become an accomplice of the Daode Sect, be careful not to hand over your ancestral legacy to others!"

A hundred-foot-tall demonic body appeared above Zengguang Immortal City, its voice like rolling thunder, exploding in layers.

His cold eyes swept over all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present, and his emotionless scrutiny sent chills down everyone's spines.

"For your own selfish reasons, you have cultivated the demonic arts, harmed many fellow cultivators, and will cause chaos in this world in the future, leading to the downfall of billions of lives... The ancestral precepts of the Moral Sect state that anyone who cultivates the methods of the demonic realm has the right to be punished by everyone!"

Another cultivator flew into the air, holding a green branch in his hand. His face showed no emotion, and he spoke in a deep voice.

With a flick of its branch, it carved out a separate space, pulling him and his hundred-foot-tall demonic body into it before disappearing into the void.

Even though the opponent was inside a fourth-order grand formation, they were unable to isolate this change.

"This is the Nascent Soul Realm, how can it possess such supernatural powers?"

Bai Zichen was greatly shocked. When did the Nascent Soul Realm become capable of such a feat?

The second cultivator was none other than the Vice Peak Master of Heavenly Punishment Peak, the Great True Monarch Hongfa, who used his supreme divine power to make Du Heng's true demon clone and himself disappear from the scene at the same time.

In the game, the Daode Sect held a clear advantage.

The only concern is that Du Heng's True Demonic Saint Body possesses various incredible powers, allowing him to continuously grow stronger in battles and killings.

It comes from the Demon Realm, where all living beings are resources. This method can be used to become stronger before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Only by taking the most crucial step of becoming a deity can one sacrifice millions of lives, sever the spiritual veins, reverse the primordial energy, summon demonic energy to descend upon the world, and change this realm.

If the human realm is ultimately transformed into a lower realm under the jurisdiction of the demon realm, such achievements will directly benefit the demon realm, making it easy to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and ascend to the upper realm.

In their last encounter, the True Demon Avatar showed signs of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

By taking this action, the Great True Lord of Propagation immediately cut off the possibility of the true demon's clone breaking through again in the face of battle.

Then, Meng Kang, the Great True Lord, took a deep breath and waved his Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan halfway. Immediately, a world-destroying true flame rose from all directions, engulfing Zengguang Immortal City in a sea of ​​fire.

The blazing sun shone brightly, and the golden crow appeared, creating countless waves in the air as it collided with the grand formation of the immortal city.

Countless white lights shone, and the restrictions melted away like butter under high temperature. The city gate, which could only leave shallow marks on countless high-level spells, instantly became a pool of molten iron.

The Du family members standing before the twelve city gates vanished without a sound in the true flames.

With just one strike—no, only half a strike—the first fourth-order grand formation of Zengguang Immortal City was destroyed and ceased to exist!

"How can the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan be so much stronger than the Demon Dragon Cone and the Avici Hell Demon Sword..."

The Moonlit Sword was already in his hand. Bai Zichen's heart pounded wildly, and the sweltering heat wave that swept over him smelled of burning.

Apart from him, all the Core Formation cultivators were in a flurry of activity, unleashing fire-repelling spells.

Those who were slower had their Taoist robes catch fire, burning their skin and hair, leaving them in a sorry state.

Bai Zichen reached out and squeezed, extinguishing several flames in his palm.

The flames engulfing his body were swallowed by an invisible giant mouth, without even burning his robes.

"Is it due to the difference in cultivation level between the envoys, such a gap between the late Nascent Soul stage and the mid Nascent Soul stage... or does the Moral Sect have another secret method that can truly unleash the power of the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, with just a half-wave, possessed the power to destroy the world, breaking through the fourth-order grand formation in one fell swoop.

Even Bai Zichen felt a deep sense of powerlessness when facing the sea of ​​fire.

This is a Great True Monarch who truly stands below the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world.

With a divine treasure refined over tens of thousands of years in hand, he was truly feared by gods and demons.

A black dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, flew out from the immortal city, raising its head to absorb most of the flames that were splashing everywhere into its belly, preventing them from burning the second fourth-order formation in the inner city.

The black dragon swallowed millions of balls of various colored flames, which ignited inside and out, and it soon fell to the ground, barely alive.

It transformed into a beam of demonic light and returned to the hands of a dignified and profound middle-aged cultivator.

The Demon Dragon Cone excels at locking onto enemies in the void, specifically breaking through all defensive magic treasures and protective secret techniques. It can ignore and penetrate any kind of precious light or Buddhist light.

He was not good at head-on confrontations or large-scale battles, and coupled with his inferior mastery of the Heavenly Treasure, he was defeated in a single blow.

Du Heng's face was ashen, and behind him, the Xuanming Heavy Water gathered into a long river, a raging torrent that destroyed countless pavilions and palaces along its way.

With a pair of fleshy palms striking out, the sound of water echoed between heaven and earth, and the attack was launched at Meng Kang.

"Well done!"

Meng Kang put away the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. He had already reached his limit by truly activating the Heavenly Treasure with a secret technique, but this was different from others who relied on the treasure's physical form to act recklessly.

After the attack, his body felt empty, and seventy percent of his true energy was gone.

Forcing it any further could damage the foundation and vital energy.

"So you used forbidden techniques to gain true essence comparable to the late Nascent Soul stage. No wonder you're so confident... Then let me show you what a true late Nascent Soul stage cultivator has to offer!"

With a jade ruler striking out, the turbulent spiritual energy of heaven and earth quickly calmed down.

Wherever it passed, the wind and waves subsided.

Du Heng's expression was solemn. He opened his mouth and spat out a drop of water. A layer of mysterious light covered his palms, and he slowly caught the jade ruler.

Silence reigned, black and white ripples spread, shattering the surrounding space, yet an invisible force repaired the damage, rapidly restoring it.

The fight between the two was simple and unadorned, without any dazzling lights or earth-shattering power, yet the aura they exuded captivated even the distant cultivators, leaving them mesmerized.

"Hey! We've joined forces to isolate the battlefield and suppress the formation... The Du Clan, with the heart of a viper and the nature of a wolf, has been plundering cultivation resources and ruining the future of cultivators in the Northern Region! The Du Clan's ancestor, Heng, has been secretly cultivating a true demonic technique, intending to sacrifice the lives of billions of people to exchange for the path to immortality. This is envied by both gods and men, and cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth!"

A True Lord of the Moral Sect, clad in armor and wielding a long halberd, shouted and commanded the Wuji Ship to activate its protective barrier and continue its fierce attack on the inner city.

"Disciples of Heavenly Punishment Peak, form an array and enter the city. Any cultivator who dares to disobey will be treated as a demonically possessed and rebellious cultivator, and will be killed without question!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Du Heng's eyes turned red, and a fleshy palm swung out from afar, causing the space around him to cave in.

Four Nascent Soul True Monarchs from Heavenly Punishment Peak joined forces to barely withstand the divine power that seemed to topple the Milky Way.

The four of them had an unnaturally flushed complexion. After taking a moment to catch their breath, they returned to the battlefield.

Du Heng was distracted and immediately fell into a disadvantageous position when facing Meng Kang. His body was covered by the Measuring Jade Ruler, and the distance between his two palms and the ruler as he fought back the ruler was getting smaller and smaller.

The group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Northern Region exchanged glances, having already reached a tacit understanding. Based on their respective relationships, they swapped bodies, sealing off all escape routes.

Du Heng must die today!
The Daode Sect's domineering and stubborn behavior is a matter for the future.

If Du Heng is not dealt with, all Nascent Soul sects in the Northern Region will face a nightmare; which one dares to say they can withstand him?

"This person is True Monarch Yuan Mo, the future ruler of the Immortal City designated by Heavenly Punishment Peak!"

Bai Zichen glanced at the Nascent Soul cultivator wielding the halberd from afar. According to the information Yan Yuanzai had gathered, Heavenly Punishment Peak had mobilized its entire force for the matter of the Ancient Demon Inheritance.

The two Great True Lords, the Heavenly Treasure, the Super Battleship, the Tai Su Dao Soldiers, and tens of thousands of elite disciples from the Heavenly Punishment Peak were all a bit too enthusiastic.

All of his actions were largely aimed at helping this Yuan Zhenjun build a foundation so that he could have his own Taoist temple and live out his old age in peace.

Yuan Mo was originally from the Northern Region. In his youth, he traveled all over the country with his family's caravan. When he came to the Great Zhou, he was recognized for his character by the Daode Sect cultivators and taken in as their disciple.

After hundreds of years of arduous cultivation and tempering, he became a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Because his lifespan was running out, he wanted to return to his roots and had the thought of going back to his homeland.

Just then, an Arhat from the Faxiang School came to their door seeking their help, and they immediately reached an agreement.

After eradicating the demonic lineage, Heavenly Punishment Peak established a branch in the Northern Region, giving True Monarch Yuan Mo a homeland dojo.

It achieves three goals at once, and also carries a righteous cause, so it's only natural to do it.
