Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 400 Tragic
Large-scale, head-on wars like this won't be chaotic brawls with everyone rushing in.

The true main force in the war is the most powerful cultivators who can act at will.

If the other cultivators joined the battle, they would likely be killed by the aftershocks of the great cultivator's attack as soon as they stepped forward.

After the sect leader of Changtong retreated, the space between the flying boat group and the war fortress became the battlefield for the great cultivators of both sides.

General Hu issued the order, and twelve great cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom appeared on the battlefield. They formed a simple battle formation, and their fighting spirit soared.

On the other side, the sect leader of Changtong waved his hand, and ten flying boats flew in from behind. Then, cultivators unloaded ten coffins from the ten flying boats.

Ten coffins were lined up in a row and placed on the battlefield.

General Hu was quite puzzled. Could it be that the medieval world was about to send out undead?
If that's the case, the Immortal Kingdom really doesn't need to worry too much. Although the fourth-tier undead are strong, the Immortal Kingdom has the advantage in the number of great cultivators, so the fourth-tier undead don't have much of an advantage in a head-on battle.

The sect leader of Changtong cast several spells, and the lids of the ten coffins simultaneously flew off from the inside.

Ten aged, powerful cultivators emerged from the coffins, and the moment they stepped out, their auras surged to their peak.

They were all great cultivators from the Southern Peak Divine Sect and the Northern Sea Divine Sect who had entered seclusion. These great cultivators used special secret methods to put their entire bodies into a state of suspended animation, thus gaining a longer lifespan.

Once they emerge from their suspended animation, their life countdown begins.

Only when the Divine Sect is in its most critical moment will it allow a great cultivator who has been in seclusion to emerge from seclusion.

Ten great cultivators in seclusion represent almost the entire foundation of the two great sects. After all, the two great sects have very few normal great cultivators left, so they have no choice but to use their reserves.

The battle broke out in an instant. The ten great cultivators who had been in seclusion did not utter a word. Among them, the ones who had been feigning death for the longest time had even lost their own consciousness.

All they remembered was the belief in fighting to the death for their sect. The moment they were activated, all they had to do was burn themselves out.

Ten great cultivators in seclusion rushed towards the twelve great cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom, and various spiritual treasures flew out as they approached.

On the Immortal Kingdom's side, half of the twelve great cultivators unleashed their defensive magical treasures, while the other half used their offensive magical treasures, cooperating with each other to maximize the power of the battle formation.

They were not afraid of the enemy's approach; the closer they got, the more powerful their battle formation would become.

One of the great cultivators who had entered seclusion used a teleportation technique, and his speed was extremely fast after he launched his attack magic weapon.

He transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the battle formation of the great cultivators of the Immortal Kingdom. He was extremely skilled at using the light technique. Even if a great cultivator who had immersed himself in the realm of great cultivators for his entire life was nearing the end of his lifespan, his combat experience was still much stronger than that of other great cultivators.

His escape light evaded multiple attacks, and it looked like he was about to collide with the battle formation of the Immortal Kingdom.

In the state of escape light, a great cultivator in seclusion cannot activate an effective defense. If he were to collide with the Immortal Kingdom's battle formation with his physical body, the great cultivator in seclusion would be doomed.

But an unexpected thing happened: his escape light did not stop and crashed directly into the defensive shield of the Immortal Kingdom's battle formation.

With a 'boom,' a dazzling light erupted from the point of impact, as the great cultivator in seclusion detonated his nascent soul.

The self-destruction of a great cultivator's nascent soul was already approaching the power of a fifth-tier cultivator.

It's estimated that the twelve great cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom didn't expect that the great cultivators from the Ancient World would self-destruct so soon after the battle began, before they could even test each other.

Therefore, the twelve great cultivators of the Immortal Kingdom only had normal defensive enhancements on them. They thought that with the defense of the battle formation, they could completely withstand the attacks of the great cultivators from the ancient world.

After the great cultivator in seclusion unleashed his power, all twelve great cultivators were blasted away.

The defenses of the Immortal Kingdom's battle formation, along with the defenses enhanced by the twelve great cultivators themselves, only mitigated a portion of the attack's power; the majority of the remaining power was absorbed by the twelve great cultivators.

In particular, the senior cultivators at the front were severely injured, and their faces were now as pale as paper.

This was not the end. The second beam of light arrived. Because the twelve great cultivators were knocked away and injured, their attack was also stopped, allowing the second beam of light to rush into the great cultivators without any hindrance.

With a 'boom,' another great cultivator in seclusion self-destructed. Of the twelve great cultivators in the Immortal Kingdom, nine had taken out their life-saving items and activated fifth-order defensive divine abilities.

Three other powerful cultivators, who were slightly slower, were obliterated by the self-destruction of the cultivator in seclusion, leaving not even a complete corpse. The explosive force was so great that even the nascent souls of these three cultivators were unable to escape, being annihilated instantly.

The other nine great cultivators, even though they used fifth-order defensive divine abilities, were not actually fifth-order defensive divine abilities cast by Nascent Soul cultivators, and their injuries were even more severe.

"Fire! Main guns and all rune cannons! Stop them!" General Hu disregarded protocol and shouted the order.

The remaining nine great cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom also used their escape techniques to flee towards the war fortress.

Due to their injuries, their escape speed was slower than normal, and it was this difference that allowed the great cultivator from the Immortal Kingdom to be overtaken by the great cultivator in seclusion.

With an explosion, another great cultivator from the Immortal Kingdom perished together with a great cultivator who had self-destructed during his secluded cultivation.

Afterwards, two more great cultivators from the immortal kingdom failed to escape and were dragged down with the great cultivator in seclusion, perishing together.

When the great cultivators of the Immortal Kingdom who had gone to war fled back to the war fortress, half of them had been reduced to ashes.

On the medieval side, only four great cultivators remained in seclusion. They dodged the rune cannons' attacks and rapidly approached the war fortress.

"Activate maximum defense, unleash the rune cannons in a chaotic attack, and stop locking on!" General Hu felt his scalp tingle, and he almost roared out the order once again.

The Rune Cannon's lock-on attack is incredibly powerful.

This is achieved by the AI ​​making advance predictions and analyzing the location of the rune cannon's target through extensive calculations. In this case, the rune cannon has a very high probability of hitting the target.

The problem is that the target of this attack is a powerful cultivator who has used a teleportation technique. Not to mention that these powerful cultivators have extremely rich combat experience, the speed at which they use teleportation light exceeds the processing speed of the AI. Before the AI ​​can analyze and calculate the most accurate attack position, the data it has analyzed and calculated becomes invalid.

Furthermore, even if the rune cannon's attack is accurate, a powerful cultivator using escape techniques can still adjust in time.

Attacking a high-level cultivator with rune cannons was completely ineffective, leaving General Hu with no other choice but to resort to this method.

With a loud 'boom,' the defensive shield of the war fortress was completely destroyed, and a small portion of the front of the war fortress disappeared.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" General Hu finally issued the retreat order.

He grabbed the chief of staff with one hand and his own nephews and nieces with the other, and fled at top speed.

The six injured high-level cultivators had barely caught their breath before they had to retreat again.

Only three great cultivators remained in seclusion in the medieval world. Their faces were expressionless, as if life and death meant nothing to them.

Their eyes were fixed on the six injured great cultivators from before. Their terrifying auras were filled with killing intent, and their divine senses carried the will to annihilate everything.

The monks who were still alive in the war fortress fled to the rear after receiving the order to retreat.

The three great cultivators who were in seclusion completely ignored these cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom whose cultivation was insufficient, as they were not worth their time. Their target was the more valuable great cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom.

However, when passing through these immortal cultivators, a small number of Nascent Soul cultivators were able to withstand the destructive will of the great cultivators in seclusion, while the souls of the rest of the immortal cultivators were annihilated by this will.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators were not unwell, and each one of them was significantly affected.

The two injured Grand Cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom were standing too close together when they were overtaken by the Grand Cultivator in seclusion behind them. There was no battle, no communication, only the Grand Cultivator's self-destruction.

With a loud 'boom,' two great cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom perished.

All the ancient world cultivators in the flying boat group behind were watching the battlefield, their eyes filled with tears.

They were acutely aware of what each explosion represented: the lives of their great monks paid the ultimate price.

Hatred rose in their hearts, and so did their will to fight.
