Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 401 Defeat
The sect leader of Changtong was also heartbroken. Although only half of the great cultivators who self-destructed here belonged to the Nanyue Divine Sect, these great cultivators who were in seclusion were the foundation of the Nanyue Divine Sect.

Each great cultivator who enters seclusion requires thousands of years of accumulation and must have a deep affection for the Divine Sect before agreeing to pay a great price for seclusion.

However, these powerful cultivators who had gone into seclusion also had a tremendous effect, defeating the main force of the Immortal Kingdom in one fell swoop.

With a decisive wave of his hand, the Changtong Sect Master unleashed the combined forces of the medieval world, sending them charging forward across the entire front.

General Hu dared not slow down at all, because there were still two great cultivators in seclusion chasing after them.

In order to avoid being overtaken by the powerful cultivators who had entered seclusion behind them, the surviving injured cultivators all paid a price to unleash their maximum escape speed.

This forced General Hu to throw the two people he was holding far away. At this moment, he no longer cared about saving them; he only hoped that the two people could survive.

He also activated his escape technique. Since he was not injured, he was not much slower than the injured cultivator when he used his escape technique at full power.

The great cultivator was extremely fast, especially when he unleashed his full power. It didn't take him long before he saw the Holy Water Palace.

He suddenly realized something, but it was unrealistic to order the cultivators to stop the last two great cultivators from the medieval world at this moment.

Even he himself didn't want to pay the price of his life to stop the great cultivator in seclusion, because the great cultivator in seclusion fought in a way that was too unreasonable, and would self-destruct as soon as he got close.

What he was thinking about was the safety of the Holy Water Palace's grand formation.

Even after being strengthened, the Holy Water Palace's grand formation could withstand a small number of attacks from powerful cultivators, but it was utterly unable to withstand the self-destruction of a powerful cultivator in seclusion.

Without the protection of the Holy Water Palace's grand formation, the Immortal Kingdom's last base in the medieval world would be exposed to the outside world.

Once the spatial passage of the Holy Water Palace is lost, all the immortal cultivators remaining in the medieval world will have no way out and no reinforcements, and will be trapped and die in the medieval world.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that with the direct intervention of the Nascent Soul stage, even with the protection of the Holy Water Palace's grand formation, how long could the ancient world withstand the attack before it was eventually breached?

"All personnel retreat to the Immortal Kingdom!" With this thought in mind, General Hu issued the order for a full evacuation.

He was well aware of the responsibility he would bear for issuing this order, but given the tense situation at the moment, he was willing to save as many people as he could.

The immortal cultivators inside the Holy Water Palace had learned of the fall of the front lines earlier via satellite, and while they were still in a state of panic, they heard General Hu's order.

They rushed toward the spatial passage. In such a large-scale war, once one side is defeated, it is not something that ordinary cultivators can turn the tide of the battle. Even if a small number of powerful cultivators were to come to the rescue, it would not change anything.

Just as the four injured Grand Masters and General Hu rushed into the Holy Water Palace's grand formation, with a loud 'boom,' the Holy Water Palace's grand formation, along with at least half of the Holy Water Palace's buildings, was destroyed by the self-destruction of a Grand Master in seclusion.

The last great cultivator in seclusion saw the spatial passage exposed by the destruction of the building, and his escape light rushed towards the spatial passage.

When danger approached, General Hu disregarded the chaos in front of the spatial passage. He unleashed his aura, which briefly intimidated the immortal cultivators in front of the spatial passage, giving him time to rush into it.

Four injured high-level cultivators also rushed into the spatial passage. Then, the last high-level cultivator who was in seclusion entered the spatial passage and detonated himself during a spatial jump.

On the Immortal Kingdom side, General Hu and four injured great cultivators escaped from the spatial passage in a disheveled state.

The spatial passage behind them emitted a bright light. The great array supporting the spatial passage could not withstand the destructive force inside the spatial passage during its operation, and this destructive force rebounded onto the great array.

The massive array on the Immortal Kingdom's side collapsed simultaneously, even affecting the spiritual veins that supported its energy.

"This is a huge loss!" General Hu showed no joy at escaping with his life, and murmured helplessly as he looked at the collapsing formation.

This grand formation is no simple matter. At least for the time being, the Immortal Kingdom will not be able to set up such a grand formation again. The special materials required for it will take a long time to gather them all.

More importantly, the spatial coordinates of the medieval world that the Immortal Kingdom had previously explored are now likely to be concealed by the intervention of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Locating the spatial coordinates of the medieval world would take longer than gathering all the materials for the grand array.

On the medieval side, neither the North Sea Divine Sect nor the South Mountain Divine Sect felt any joy in defeating the invaders. This time, the medieval world was not only severely weakened, but its very foundation was also damaged.

It would probably take a thousand years to recover. The Immortal Kingdom already knows that the medieval world exists. Even if the Nascent Soul cultivators use the method of concealing heavenly secrets to affect the Immortal Kingdom's spatial coordinates, as long as the Immortal Kingdom is given enough time, it will eventually be able to reposition the spatial coordinates of the medieval world.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators emerged from their respective flying boats and stood in the void, their eyes meeting. Without needing words, they made their decision through the exchange of their divine senses.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators stretched out their hands and drew intricate patterns in the air.

This pattern was completed by two Nascent Soul cultivators, each contributing half. Although it was drawn by two Nascent Soul cultivators separately, the pattern is flawless, as if it were drawn by a single Nascent Soul cultivator.

As the design was completed, a strand of white hair appeared at the temples of the two deities.

However, since the backlash from unleashing the supernatural power was shared by the two Nascent Soul cultivators, the lifespan they lost was still within an acceptable range.

The pattern floated in the void and emitted a suction force, then the energy of heaven and earth surged towards the pattern.

The patterns emitted a dazzling light, and the energy fluctuations became increasingly intense.

Finally, the pattern transformed into a giant "禁" (forbidden) character that hung horizontally in the air, obscuring the entire void. After several seconds, the "禁" character disappeared.

"We have sealed off the space using the divine power of concealing heavenly secrets, and this divine power can last for five hundred years!" a Nascent Soul cultivator announced in a deep voice.

He didn't say much, but the meaning was clear: five hundred years was all that was needed for the medieval world to develop.

"Thank you, Divine Lord!" The Sect Master of Changtong and the new Sect Master of Beihai Divine Sect bowed in unison.

Then came the time for the Southern Peak Divine Sect and the Northern Sea Divine Sect to divide the spoils. They had exhausted the entire resources of both sects, all for this final gain.

Now that the Eastern Divine Sect and the Western Heavenly Temple have been destroyed, only two of the four great divine sects of the medieval world remain.

The original distribution of benefits needs to be completely redone, which is one of the important reasons why the two Nascent Soul cultivators are willing to take action. With half of the benefits from the ancient world, it is still possible to cultivate a certain number of great cultivators in five hundred years.

Li Zhen was unaware of the outcome of the war between the Immortal Kingdom and the Middle Ages, and he went into seclusion for a period of time.

During this period, in addition to cultivation, he strengthened his control over the fifth-order Wukong and became familiar with the control of the fifth-order Heavenly Demon.

At the same time, the materials for refining fifth-order undead were processed to make them usable semi-finished products.

He finally decided to refine a fifth-order undead again, but based on his previous experience, he needed some fifth-order energy to help the fifth-order undead overcome the fifth-order heavenly tribulation.

If there hadn't been a fifth-tier energy supply for the fifth-tier Wukong to undergo tribulation last time, the fifth-tier Wukong wouldn't have been able to overcome the fifth-tier heavenly tribulation so easily.

To obtain fifth-order energy, one needs to devour a fifth-order powerhouse.

But the human body he left behind, which was meant to be stored for his own advancement to the next level of the Nascent Soul stage.

To capture a fifth-tier powerhouse, one cannot start with the Immortal Kingdom; the only options are the Demon Kingdom or the medieval world.

Li Zhen suddenly shook his head. He didn't know when he had lost his fear of fifth-order powerhouses.

He took a deep breath, allowing himself to calm down.

Perhaps due to prolonged isolation from the outside world, he decided to return to school for a period of time.

After emerging from the small world cave, his identity bracelet began receiving a constant stream of messages.

When he checked the information on his identity bracelet, he saw a war report about the medieval world, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"The Immortal Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat in the medieval world?" He looked at the battle report in disbelief.

He certainly couldn't believe the result. What was the situation in the medieval world? He had killed almost half of the great cultivators.

How could a medieval world that he had crippled cause such a huge loss to the Immortal Kingdom, with eight great cultivators falling, four great cultivators seriously injured, and hundreds of thousands of cultivators lost in the war?
