Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 573 Before and After
The warriors were helpless, they were only Nascent Soul cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection stage. It was already difficult for them to activate their magic treasures, and the consumption of their magic power was huge. If they continued to fight as a group, they were afraid that they would be surrounded by this Demon Lord in the end.

Everyone could only use the rotation strategy, taking turns to fight in batches to consume the Earth Demon Lord and contain the opponent.

Because they were afraid of the power of the opponent's territory deprivation, everyone could only use their spiritual treasures to attack from a distance, which restricted their hands and feet and lacked many means.

Among them, Master Futu relied on the towering tree to merge together, and the West Sea Dragon King had a strong body. They each acted as meat shields and took turns standing in the front, giving Chaoyangzi, Shuai Daozi and Master Xukong space to attack from behind.

If someone can't hold on any longer, Void Master will use his magical flying smoke shuttle, which has the ability to travel through the void, to rush in to rescue the person and help him dodge, and then take turns to send the strong men up into the sky to continue the fierce battle.

This is how we can hold on for so long.

The Demon Lord of Earth is a cultivator who has reached the state of spiritual transformation. His domain can force the enemy to be unable to absorb spiritual energy, but he is out of reach of the enemy outside his domain.

After all, to be able to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a few hundred feet at will requires a supernatural power that can only be possessed by those who have reached the great stage of fusion.

After fighting till now, the Earth Demon Lord has only some minor injuries on his body and can still fight, but all the strong men are no longer in their best condition, even the Kanglong Horn, Feiyan Shuttle, and Shanhai Pearl have dimmed and are mostly damaged.

Especially the Flying Smoke Shuttle, because it is used frequently, its spiritual light is dim. If it is used again, it is in danger of being downgraded. Master Xukong has a painful look on his face.

Jin Dingjun looked around and saw the miserable conditions of the various sect leaders. He touched the empty sleeve of his robe on the right side of his body, made a decision in his heart, and sighed.

"Brother Futu, I see the demons are acting this way. If the Earth Law Demon Lord had used the Seven Power Umbrella to attack with all his strength a few days ago, our Jinding Sect would have been destroyed long ago."

"I'm afraid they are planning to catch all the heroes of the East China Sea in one fell swoop."

"You have rescued our Jinding Sect, but you have also been trapped in the siege. I am extremely grateful, but I am also deeply terrified. I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will trap you here and make you the sinners of our human race..."

Buddha Master held up the towering tree with his hands, shook his head and shouted.

"Brother Jin Ding, there is no need to blame yourself."

"This is the last passage. If we destroy it, our human world will be able to have a few decades of respite."

"Even though I know it's a hook, I still have to do it..."

“I don’t know how Qingyangzi and his men are doing. If they can find out that there is a divine treasure in that immortal palace, we will blow up that passage even if it costs human lives.”

"The more dangerous it is for us here, the safer they are."

Jin Dingjun sighed again.

"I hope so..."

At this moment, the jade pendant on Futu Zhenren's waist made a slight cracking sound. The jade pendant was also inlaid with four colored gems of blue, yellow, green and white, and it was the white gem that broke.

"what……"

Buddha was so angry that he clapped his hands.

"My beloved disciple Bing Ling has fallen."

"I'm afraid they're not safe along the way."

Jin Dingjun remained silent.

At this moment, a light and shadow flashed in the hall, and True Man Xukong returned with the Flying Smoke Shuttle under his feet, dragging the Dragon King of the West Sea, whose scales were torn and who was spitting blood.

He grabbed Futu Zhenren with one hand, and then he flashed again, and the two of them flew high into the sky.

Master Futu did not care about the grief over the death of his beloved disciple. He forced himself to be strong, merged with the towering tree again, stood in the front, and fought fiercely against the Demon Lord Difa.

In this way, the magic spells in the sky continued to bombard each other for several incense sticks of time.

True Man Void shuttled back and forth, and several masters took turns several times before Lord Earth Law Demon protected himself with an umbrella and slowly retreated.

The heroes of the human world launched a round-the-clock battle against him. Even with his divine power, he felt mentally exhausted and his magic power was exhausted. He needed to rest.

It is true that a cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation has the power of a domain, but opening that domain also consumes mana.

Those people, the descendants of demons, relied on several sharp spiritual treasures to attack from a distance and also used the wheel-fighting tactic.

Although the Lord of Earthly Law seemed relaxed, his magic power had been consumed to a certain extent.

He was a man who preferred to play it safe, and seeing that the situation was unsafe, he used the Seven Strong Umbrellas to attack all the way, forcing everyone away before retreating.

Several sect leaders joined forces and chased for a while. They saw more than ten Nascent Soul demons flying out of the double-winged demon formation on the ground to meet the Earth Demon Lord.

The leaders naturally did not dare to chase after them for fear of getting trapped, so they could only retreat together.

The demons are cunning, and the Earth Demon Lord has only retreated temporarily. No one knows how much spiritual awareness and magic power he still has. If he makes a surprise attack and kills the first bird to stand out, it is hard to say. Naturally, it is better for them to be safe.

Since the Earth Demon Lord retreated, soon after, the hundreds of Winged Demons that were besieging the mountain gate also retreated like a tide.

However, they only retreated a few miles away from the mountain gate. They did not retreat but did not withdraw. It was obvious that they were still preparing to continue the attack.

However, all the leaders in the air returned to the formation, took the elixir, temporarily stabilized their injuries, slightly recovered their magic power, and immediately gathered together to discuss important matters.

Master Futu first told everyone the news of the fall of Bing Ling Shuang Dao. Several other leaders also had magic weapons, so they could know the life and death of their core disciples.

Princess Longfu, Jian Qiuyi, Nangong Xing, Shuai Bufan, Qingyangzi and others were all safe and sound, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Dingjun comforted Master Futu, saying that in the chaos of fighting, perhaps Junior-Junior Brother Bingling was unfortunate and was surrounded by the enemy, and had to sacrifice his life for justice. Fortunately, Junior-Junior Brother Qingyangzi and the others were safe, and perhaps the situation of the reinforcements was much better than we thought.

Only then did it become Master Fu Tu's turn to sigh... I hope so.

Since the troops were divided, everyone has accepted their fate and can only pray and wish them well silently.

The leaders did not bother to think about the fate of the troops, but instead discussed whether they needed to withdraw.

With the great god Demon Lord Difa leading the way, the Jinding sect has always been in danger. Even though everyone has traveled thousands of miles to put together such a luxurious lineup to fight, they have not been able to gain an advantage.

If that's the case then so be it.

They could not kill the Demon Lord of Earth, and the Demon Lord of Earth could not attack the Jinding Sect's mountain protection formation guarded by them.

The Jinding Sect is a large sect, located on this turtle-shaped island. There are gold spiritual veins under the mountains here. Under the influence of the sun and the moon, the mountains above are transformed into metal mountains. No grass grows on them, and they are extremely sharp.

There are masters who can draw golden energy to set up a formation called the Wan Jue Jin Sha Formation, which is an integrated offense and defense formation and is unique in the East China Sea.

Even if the Demon Lord of Earth Law took action himself, it would be extremely difficult to remove the formation without paying a price.

The problem is, this formation can stop one Earth Demon Lord, but it can never stop two Divine Demon Lords joining forces.

There are ten major sects in the Two-Winged Demon Realm, and naturally there is more than one Difa Demon Lord who has reached the state of Divine Transformation. So it is easy to send a Divine Transformation cultivator to help.

When the time comes and the two demon kings take action, even the real golden tripod can be melted. How can the Golden Tripod Sect survive?

But the probability of this happening is quite high. If the reinforcements from Qingyangzi, Nangong Xing and Jian Qiuyi fail to find the magic treasure of the Deity Transformation in the nameless cave, or even if they are lucky enough to find the magic treasure but fail to successfully send it into the passage to detonate it, then one month later, another Deity Transformation Demon Lord will appear in the passage and descend to the human world.

At that time, the Jinding Sect would become a place of entrapment. Jinding Jun frowned and sighed. If it really didn't work, he would have to give up this ancestral land and withdraw from the teleportation array. He couldn't watch most of the high-level cultivators of the human race in the East China Sea being buried here for the Jinding Sect.

Several of the sect leaders have reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. With the explosion of spiritual energy in the human world right now, they have the greatest hope of breaking through and achieving the state of Divine Transformation. Not to mention that there are many Nascent Soul cultivators, among whom there must be some brilliant and talented people of our human race.

If all of you die here, how can the East China Sea still have the power to resist?
Chaoyangzi shook his head in objection.

The Jinding Sect at least has a mountain protection formation, which is a fourth-level formation. Under our leadership, it can withstand the attacks of a spirit-transforming cultivator.

Now that we have a few old bones here, and so many multi-infant cultivators, everyone has also brought enough spirit stones, which are enough to support the operation of the mountain protection formation for dozens of days.

If we abandon the Jinding Sect and leave, we will only be teleported a few hundred miles away. Who knows if the Earth Law Demon Lord has any secret method to track us?
The two-winged demons are known for their speed of escape. If Lord Earth Law and his demons chase us, we will lose the protection of our formation and will probably be wiped out by them.

Jin Dingjun shook his head - my Jin Ding sect has five major teleportation arrays, which are enough for us to lead our disciples to different places. We can only try our luck, which is better than everyone dying here.

Everyone was unable to make up their minds, and finally the disfigured Shuai Daozi said, "Why don't we stay here for more than ten days?"

The reinforcements led by Junior Brother Qingyangzi and others might still be fighting. If we withdraw first and they destroy the passage, it would be like we throwing away the great foundation of the Jinding Sect and giving a base to the demons.

Thanks to magic, although we cannot see the situation inside and outside the space channel, we can see that the space channel is as thin as a line and straight to the sky, from which we can know its condition.

Wait for more than ten days. If the passage hasn't collapsed, it won't be too late for us to retreat. Then we can gamble our luck and let God decide life or death.

The leaders were silent for a while, then nodded one after another - this was not a good idea, but it was undoubtedly the most appropriate one at the moment.

Outside the Jinding Sect’s mountain protection formation.

The Demon Lord of Earth Law was surrounded by demons and descended from the sky. He walked into a hall of magic weapons and then sat high up on the main seat in the middle.

This hall is also where a plate is located.

The Demon Lord Difa personally cast a spell and used formation techniques to arrange the left and right sides of the Jinding Sect's mountain gate into a demon domain, allowing the Yuanying demons to attack without worrying about the problem of spiritual energy rejection.

This hall is naturally extremely luxurious and filled with all kinds of exquisite artifacts. After being mixed with the two-winged demons, even the two-winged demons' habit of enjoying themselves was inherited.

A disciple beside him respectfully offered him the elixir tea, which he drank in one gulp and looked around.

At this moment, the leaders of the Nascent Soul Demon Clan monks came in one after another and stood solemnly on both sides.

The Lord of Earthly Laws asked about the losses in today's attack on the mountain, and the leader below responded tremblingly.

"Report to the headmaster, today those tough guys of the human race who held the divine treasures attacked together, and dozens of our cultivators died."

The Demon Lord of Earth laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"It is extremely glorious for our cultivators to die in battle against the heavens."

"Death is not a terrible thing, but dying in vain is a pity if you lose the battle."

"Today, all the elites of the East China Sea human race have gathered here. We just need to trap them tightly. When our Divine Transformation cultivators come to help next month, they will be trapped and dead."

He waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only his confidants, and was in a good mood.

Ten channels were pulled out one after another. If the channel that Difatian was responsible for could be preserved, it would definitely greatly please the Saint of the Heti.

The two saints were devoted to seclusion in search of a breakthrough, and never cared about the trivial matters of the demon clan, nor were they interested in taking in disciples.

If he could get some guidance from that saint, maybe in the future, the Demon Lord of Earth Law could also become a Saint of Earth Law.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

My confidant carefully reminded me that the human race has always been cunning, so how could we know that they would not split their forces into two groups, ostensibly placing the main force here, but actually splitting their forces into two groups and sending a reinforcement force to destroy our passage?

The Demon Lord of Earth Law laughed loudly - I was prepared.

Although most of the elite members of our Fatian Sect are here with me to attack the Jinding Sect, we have also left enough manpower in the passage.

According to the human intelligence collected, the one on the opposite side who made himself green is Futu Zhenren, the old guy who uses beads is Shuai Daozi, the old dragon is the Dragon King of the West Sea, and the one flying on the shuttle is Xu Zhenren.

Almost all the spiritual treasures and Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators of the human race are here. I don’t believe that even if they divide their forces, they can break through the barrier guarding the passage of my demon race?

Unless they can pull out a god.

Not to mention that I also left a magical treasure of the sect secretly to my eldest disciple, and asked him to guard the passage, which should be enough to deal with the situation.

The confidant was worried that the human race might use the same old tricks again, just like how the Void Master sneaked into the passage last time and used the Flying Smoke Shuttle to fight against our spiritual treasure, using the power of the spiritual treasure's collision to destroy the passage.

The Demon Lord of Earth smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're worrying too much. The spiritual treasure I left behind is extraordinary and has little attack power. You don't have to worry about the aftermath of a collision with the human spiritual treasure destroying the passage."

The confidant was curious - with no attack power, how to deal with the enemy?

The Demon Lord of Earth was in a good mood today and explained a few more words.

It turned out that his magical treasure was a sundial, which was said to be a remnant of an extremely powerful magical weapon from ancient times. It was covered with cracks and would probably be scrapped after being used one or two more times.

This sundial fell into the hands of the Demon Lord of the Earth, who studied it and found that it had a magical feature. Although it had no attack power, the aperture could emit a strong force of time and space, which could move people in the circle directly into the long river of time and space, causing them to get lost in it.

The Demon Lord of Earth had used it to deal with several powerful enemies before. Even if the opponents were much stronger than him, they would disappear from the world as soon as they were hit by the halo and never appear again.

Although it is unknown whether the other party is alive or dead in the long river of time and space, since the enemy no longer appears in this world, he is a dead person to the Lord of Earthly Demons.

He had checked the classics and found that among the ancestors of the demon clan, there were those who cultivated the avenue of time and space to an extremely high level and could sense the existence of the long river of time and space. There were even cultivators who accidentally fell into it during their cultivation and no trace of such people was ever seen in the world again.

A senior in this field has speculated that people who fall into the long river of time and space will most likely be instantly washed away to death by the power of time and space.

If someone is lucky enough to survive, he or she may be brought into an unknown past time and space and become a "present-day person" living in the "ancient times". The best outcome is death from old age in this world.

The Lord of Earthly Laws used this sundial frequently, and cracks appeared all over it. He was afraid that it would break if he started it again.

He simply made good use of the waste and gave it to his disciples who were guarding the passage. After all, it was a divine treasure. If a strong enemy came, he would use the sundial to exile him from the world.

After listening to the explanation of Lord Difa Demon, the confidant immediately flattered him - the leader is really a genius, among the ten major sects in our world, it seems that our Difatian will take the lead and make great contributions by guarding the passage alone.

In the future, the saint will surely reward you handsomely.

Upon hearing this, Lord Difa laughed heartily, being extremely happy. His laughter shook the sky and was heard throughout the mountain formation. Lord Jinding, Buddha Immortal and others felt even more depressed upon hearing this.

-

"Hurry up... the evil dragon is getting closer..."

Princess Longfu and Lu Ye and his party were speeding in the air, heading straight to the west, which was the passage between the human and demon worlds.

She held the orb in her hand and shone it backwards from time to time, and saw a point of light approaching rapidly.

Everyone wished they could grow two more legs to escape. They didn't see any demon spies along the way, but the deadly old dragon was closing in on them.
