I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 698 Gale Soars Across the Sky

Unlike the jubilant and bustling world of Fenglei, the Wuding Realm was instead shrouded in a suffocating silence.

The shattered void was being continuously repaired by the power of heaven and earth. Twenty-five days had passed, but the ten celestial ships that were supposed to go back for supplies and the celestial ships that were supposed to provide reinforcements had not yet arrived. Huo Zhengrong and Tu Yuanfa finally realized that something was wrong.

So the two immediately sent out a team of messengers from the Fire and Earth tribes respectively, sending them back to the old camp to inquire about the situation.

This time, the two men specifically instructed them not to return directly along the route they had come from, but to take a detour and conceal their whereabouts when returning to the old camp.

After the messenger departed, the two returned to the bow of the ship to check on the situation at Wuding Boundary and found that the shattered void outside Wuding Boundary had been 90% repaired.

Standing on the bow of the ship, they could clearly see the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams array that surrounded the sky above Wudingjie.

"Without the Heavenly Bow of Destruction, it would be difficult to break through this tortoise shell with only 300,000 immortal cultivators attacking," Huo Zhengrong said in a deep voice.

Tu Yuanfa said, "I just don't know the origin of this thing. If I knew, I would have a way to get rid of it."

Huo Zhengrong said, "This thing is somewhat similar to the formations used by Xuanfa Tiandao, but it is also slightly different from them."

Tu Yuanfa asked, "How did the Xuanfa Heavenly Dao break the formation back then?"

Huo Zhengrong said, "It was the combined strength of the Dao Lords who broke it."

Upon hearing this, Tu Yuanfa said, "If this thing in front of us is the same as the formation of the Xuanfa Heavenly Dao, then we are afraid that we will not be able to do anything to them."

Just as Huo Zhengrong was about to speak, a celestial master on the left suddenly pointed at Wuding Realm and said, "Look, they seem to be gathering."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhengrong, Tu Yuanfa, and all the immortal masters present looked towards the Boundless Realm, where they saw ten thousand Zhang Tianying generals, who had been hiding beneath the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, suddenly begin to assemble.

"Are they going to launch an attack?" A female immortal in red asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Tu Yuanfa raised an eyebrow and said, "With so few people, if they abandon the great formation and take the initiative to attack us, wouldn't they be courting death?"

Huo Zhengrong said, "Don't forget that they once destroyed a celestial ship belonging to my Fire and Earth clans, which had a total of 60,000 immortal cultivators."

Tu Yuanfa sneered upon hearing this, "Do they really think they can defeat us again?"

“They might have had this thought,” Huo Zhengrong said. “They only have a little over 10,000 men, yet they have wiped out 60,000 of our immortal cultivators twice in a row. It seems they have become arrogant.”

As they were talking, another change occurred within the Wuding Realm. Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the ten thousand divine generals who had been arrayed in front had been divided into countless small battle formations.

"This is the formation for an attack!" Tu Yuanfa said excitedly, "They actually dared to come out and seek their own deaths."

Huo Zhengrong was overjoyed. "If they had stayed hidden in that formation, we wouldn't have been able to do anything to them for a while. But now they dare to come out and seek death. They really don't know their own limitations."

Huo Zhengrong and Tu Yuanfa immediately addressed the immortal masters beside them: "Fellow Daoists, quickly take your battle positions and prepare to meet the enemy. We must completely annihilate all the attacking enemies."

The next moment, twenty-eight immortal lords flew out from the heavenly boat and landed in their respective battle formations.

At the same time, 300,000 immortal cultivators from the Fire and Earth races were already lined up in formation, their banners clearly marked, their eyes fixed on the 10,000 Zhang Tianying generals within the Martial Realm.

Meanwhile, inside the Wuding border, Feng Dingzhou looked at Xue Baochai and asked, "What's going on?"

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Our soldiers are prepared to take the initiative."

"What?" Lei Qing'e's eyes widened. "Taking the initiative to charge into that battle formation of 300,000 men?"

Xue Baochai nodded, then pointed to the fluttering banners of the Zhangtian Camp and said, "Look at those banners, the Grand Commandant has already issued the military order."

"How foolish!" Lei Qing'e said. "They have 300,000 men, while we only have 10,000. How can we take the initiative to fight? We can be completely safe by relying on this Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation for defense."

Xue Baochai said, "The Grand Commandant has his own considerations. Since he is preparing to go to war, he will not launch a rash attack."

Lei Qing'e asked anxiously, "Can I see Grand Commandant Zhang Tian?"

Xue Baochai looked up at the Great Sage Huang Feng and saw that he had left the central point of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation and was now heading above the ten thousand divine generals.

Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The Grand Commandant is already on the battlefield and will be directing the battle soon."

"I'll just say a few words," Lei Qing'e said. "Never underestimate the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Path! Now that we have the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation as our defense, which is impregnable, why risk going out to fight? Besides, we are outnumbered and outgunned. Once we are surrounded, it will be too late to regret it."

When Xue Baochai heard Lei Qing'e's words, she also felt that they made a lot of sense, and a slight hesitation arose in her heart.

Just as she was pondering whether to take Lei Qing'e to see the Great Sage Huang Feng, she saw that the Great Sage Huang Feng had already raised his hand and summoned his weapon, the 'Three-pronged Steel Fork,' while his deputy Xie Xuan had already waved the order flag to attack.

The drums, made of the hide of the Kui Niu Immortal, resounded with a heart-stirring sound, echoing in the hearts of Xue Baochai, Feng Dingzhou, Lei Qing'e, and Feng Wuzhi, and shaking their heartbeats.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai immediately abandoned her thoughts and turned to Lei Qing'e, saying, "Once the war drums sound, there is no turning back."

Lei Qing'e was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply and said nothing more, only watching the ten thousand divine generals who had begun to march.

"Out of formation!" With Xie Xuan's clear shout, ten thousand divine generals took to the air at the same moment, flying out of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation in an absolutely neat formation and flying to the outer heavens of the Martial Realm.

Just as these ten thousand gods flew out of the sky, the Great Sage Yellow Wind rose from the clouds, holding a three-pronged steel fork, and flew out of the sky, then opened his mouth and blew out a gust of wind.

This wind is not the wind of spring and autumn, nor the wind of pine and bamboo; it is the Samadhi Divine Wind that can darken the heavens and earth, cause ghosts and gods to grieve, split rocks and collapse cliffs, and blow away human life.

At that very moment, the world suddenly changed, a chilling wind swept through, and yellow sand swirled in the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder, scattering dust across the ten directions. This wind swept through the Martial Realm and into the Great World of Wind and Thunder.

Everywhere mountains collapsed, and darkness enveloped everything, obscuring the heavens and the earth, even blinding the gods.

The Five Elements Heavenly Dao's thousands of celestial ships tilted east and west, and celestial bows twisted and spun. The immortal lords closed their eyes and dodged, while the immortal cultivators lay prostrate and hid.

The palaces of the Wind and Thunder Immortals collapsed, the mountains and forests in all directions were broken and plum trees fell, the rivers and seas in the six directions were churning with mud and sand, and the clouds and mist of heaven and earth were in chaos and panic.

Outside the Wuding border, the 300,000 immortal cultivators of the Earth and Fire races were the first to be hit, covering their eyes and wailing, flying and dodging in groups. Huo Zhengrong covered his eyes and shouted, while Tu Yuanfa covered his face with his sleeve, completely at a loss.

Huang Feng Dasheng took the lead, leaping down in front of Huo Zhengrong, raising his three-pronged steel fork, and with one thrust, he separated Huo Zhengrong's head from his body.

Hearing the screams, Tu Yuanfa, who was standing nearby, hurriedly covered his eyes and looked over. He saw that Huo Zhengrong's head had been separated from his body, and blood was spurting out. He was already dead and gone.

Tu Yuanfa was utterly shocked and exclaimed to Huang Feng Dasheng, "What kind of magic is this?"

"Samadhi Divine Wind!" Great Sage Huang Feng replied, severing Tu Yuanfa in half with his fork. Tu Yuanfa died instantly, with only a wisp of divine energy disappearing into the void.

With a wave of his hand, the Great Sage Huang Feng killed Huo Zhengrong and Tu Yuanfa. Turning around, he saw that the ten thousand divine generals had already rushed into the three hundred thousand immortal cultivators.

At this moment, the formation of 300,000 immortal cultivators had already been broken up, and the 10,000 divine generals were like 10,000 vicious wolves, slaughtering the 300,000 panicked sheep.

The fire-clan immortal cultivators were powerless against the Samadhi Divine Wind. Logically, wind fuels fire, and with the help of the Samadhi Divine Wind, their flames should burn even brighter.

However, the Eight Treasures Armor has the blessing of 'fire repelling', so no matter how fiercely the flames on their bodies burn, Zhang Tianying's divine generals are not affected in the slightest.

On the contrary, the eyes of these fire-clan immortal cultivators were blinded by the Samadhi Divine Wind, making them completely unable to fight back.

Meanwhile, the earth-elemental cultivators on the other side, empowered by their own earth-elemental magic, were able to barely see through the swirling yellow wind, but their own power was insufficient to withstand the Samadhi Divine Wind.

No matter how powerful your magic is, it is difficult to withstand the Samadhi Divine Wind, which will disperse it with a single gust.

Ten thousand divine generals charged left and right, showing no mercy. The blood of the immortal cultivators of the Fire and Earth races splattered, instantly turning the boundary outside the Martial Realm crimson.

Although the immortal lords positioned in the battle formation could barely maintain their balance under the Samadhi Divine Wind, they were unable to launch any useful counterattacks.

On the contrary, as long as those divine generals rushed up to them and surrounded them, even if they were immortal lords, they could only hold out for a quarter of an hour before they could only die on the spot.

The suppression of the Samadhi Divine Wind was extremely terrifying, and those immortal lords were terrified, especially after seeing Huo Zhengrong and Tu Yuanfa being killed.

But what horrified them even more was that the Great Sage Huangfeng personally charged towards them with a three-pronged steel fork.

After the Great Sage Huangfeng killed seven more Immortal Lords in a matter of breaths, the remaining Immortal Lords were all terrified and immediately gave the order: "Retreat!"

So the remaining immortal lords issued a retreat order to their respective immortal cultivators. Upon receiving the retreat order from their immortal lords, the immortal cultivators of the fire and earth clans did not hesitate at all, and no longer cared about the enemies in front of them, they turned around and ran away.

At this time, more than 100,000 corpses of immortal cultivators from the Fire and Earth races were left in the realm, their blood spreading out and forming a blood ring around the Wuding Realm.

Seeing the group of immortal lords and 200,000 immortal cultivators from the fire and earth races fleeing in panic, the Great Sage Huang Feng immediately gave the order to pursue them.

So the ten thousand divine generals immediately chased after them in all directions, because the two hundred thousand immortal cultivators of the earth and fire races were fleeing in all directions.

Because of the presence of the Samadhi Divine Wind, the 200,000 immortal cultivators barely had any sense of direction and simply chose a direction at random before fleeing for their lives.

Therefore, these 200,000 people scattered and fled. It was impossible for 10,000 people to surround and annihilate them. They could only choose one direction and pursue them all the way, killing as many as they could.

At this moment, Feng Dingzhou, Lei Qing'e, and Feng Wuzhi, who were inside the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation in Wuding Realm, were completely dumbfounded.

"That's it? We won?" Feng Wuzhi murmured.

Feng Dingzhou took a deep breath, and then said in a shocked and solemn tone, "We won! Zhang Tianying's 10,000 divine generals have decisively defeated the 300,000-strong army of the Tu and Huo tribes."

But it wasn't over yet. The ten thousand divine generals pursued them for ten days and ten nights, killing so many that only 110,000 of the original two hundred thousand remained. They scattered and fled, disappearing into the vast and boundless realm.

Ten days later, the Great Sage Huang Feng ordered a halt to the pursuit and a complete retreat. All ten thousand divine generals returned in perfect formation, not one missing.

Then, the Great Sage Huang Feng also withdrew the 'Samadhi Divine Wind' and began to clean up the battlefield and take stock of the spoils of war.

Zhang Tianying won a great victory in this battle, killing 190,000 enemies and seizing purple coins carried by the immortal cultivators of the Earth and Fire clans, for a total of 24.61 million purple coins.

As Lei Qing'e watched the ten thousand blood-soaked Zhang Tianying generals return to Wuding Realm, she solemnly said to Feng Dingzhou and Feng Wuzhi, "Only the Pangu Heavenly Dao can defeat the Five Elements Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuzhi and Feng Dingzhou looked at Lei Qing'e in astonishment.

But the two of them quickly realized that what he said was absolutely true.

Since the invasion of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao has suffered defeat after defeat on various battlefields. Firstly, their strength is too weak. Setting up defenses everywhere is equivalent to having no defenses anywhere. Therefore, in just one hundred years, they lost the entire Heavenly Realm, leaving only the Wind and Thunder Great Thousand World.

Now, Pangu Heavenly Dao only sent 10,000 people, yet they defeated the Five Elements Heavenly Dao's attacks three times in a short period of one year, and each time they won with fewer troops.

If the previous two instances were about 10,000 men defeating 30,000 men, and the numerical difference could be compensated for by equipment, then this time, 10,000 men defeating 300,000 men is a true crushing defeat of strength.

First, the Great Sage Huangfeng's strength completely overwhelmed those immortal lords.

Secondly, Zhang Tianying, the Divine General, completely overwhelmed those immortal cultivators of the Five Elements Heavenly Path.

Finally, they came to the conclusion that the power of Pangu's Heavenly Dao was in no way weaker than that of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, and that the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao had to cooperate thoroughly with Pangu's Heavenly Dao in order to defeat the Five Elements Heavenly Dao and have a chance to preserve itself.

With this in mind, the three immediately made a decision: they would send a detailed written message about the battle back to the Wind and Thunder Great World.

The opening lines of their message were congratulatory words written by Xue Baochai for the victorious return of Zhang Tianying's soldiers from this battle:

Three hundred thousand men, their momentum like a rainbow.
The earth and fire surged and obscured the sky.

A fierce wind swept across the sky and pressed down on the border sea.
Heavenly troops broke through the enemy's advance here.

As news of the Martial Realm reached back to the Wind and Thunder Great World, the beings of the Wind and Thunder Great World, who had just been greatly affected by the Samadhi Divine Wind, were once again in an uproar.

The yellow wind that swept across the entire Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao like a calamity was actually the divine power of their ally, Grand Marshal Zhang Tian! And this Grand Marshal Zhang Tian, ​​leading ten thousand divine generals, defeated the attack of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao's three hundred thousand-strong army! (End of this chapter)
