The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 577 The Battle to Break Through Boundaries
Stepping out of the cultivation hall, Wang Wu saw a ray of light drifting there, which was the guidance given by his cheap master.

After thinking for a moment, he turned back, taking the four clowns and the sleeping Frost Lord with him. War could break out at any time, so he had to keep his valuables and his vulnerabilities close to him.

Next, he followed the glow of the sunset, sometimes traversing the ground, sometimes leaping from the sky, and sometimes crossing dimensions. Halfway there, he saw Su Rong, Lin Ran, and others being guided by the glow of the sunset, heading in the same direction.

When they looked back, they saw even more Taiyi True Immortals following the glowing light.

Not just half-step Great Luo, nor just Taiyi Ninth Rank, the entire Xuantian Sect and even the entire Immortal Realm, a vast and mighty force, numbering far more than 100,000 Taiyi!

Beyond the Celestial Realms, in the Outer Heavens, in the floating city formed by the twenty-four solar terms, a large number of Taiyi True Immortals were also summoned. All Taiyi Fourth Rank and above True Immortals were included. Following the guidance of the rosy light, they gathered at a certain place. The number was terrifying. Wang Wu roughly estimated that there were a million!
Even at this moment, Wang Wu finally managed to spot Qingxue among the million immortals. Several veteran half-step Grand Luo Immortals, including Yin Yuan Divine Lord, could no longer hide, as the Dao Fire Realm's demon race immortals were about to launch a full-scale invasion.

However, since we cannot see the twelve great immortals, perhaps we can also say that they are omnipresent.

Wang Wu could sense the rhythm of their evolution of the One Great Dao; they seemed to be doing something in some way.

It seems to be a massive formation unlike any we've ever seen before?

At this moment, the guiding light for Wang Wu stopped at a certain point. From this location, one could overlook the entire Celestial Realm, see the Cold Realm, Fire Realm, Thunder Realm, Wind Realm, Green Wood Realm, and the millions of rays of light below.

That's right, it's a grand formation formed from the One Great Dao.

However, the key to the formation was not the twelve Grand Luo Immortals, but the twelve Half-Step Grand Luo Immortals, including Wang Wu.

Wang Wu is located at the ninth position in the formation.

Qingxue ranked fifth, Yinyuan Shenjun ranked first, Su Rong ranked tenth, and Lin Ran was not even among the twelve, but could only be ranked eighteenth.

That's right, this is a grand formation, and also the main formation eye and branch formation eyes that evolved according to the ranking of strength.

But what truly shocked Wang Wu was that he saw Jiang Dongting, Lu Wuchen, and Wudu, who should have been dead long ago.

They—no!
They are certainly dead, yet they can never truly die, for that is the power of the Great Luo.

In the illusion created by the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan, some things expressed the truth.

The Great Luo can recreate the world, and naturally it can also recreate a certain person.

Wang Wu didn't die last time, so there's no need for him to be reenacted.

But if he dies, and if the twelve great lords deem it necessary for him to be reenacted, he will be reenacted, and he won't even know that he has died.

this is too scary.

So, if one cannot attain the Great Luo, then all is vanity?

Wang Wu's heart was like a still lake, but it quickly calmed down. He realized that there was indeed no chance of attaining enlightenment here.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight stirring in his heart. He turned his head and saw Qingxue calmly looking at him from the fifth central array eye. There was no murderous intent in her eyes, nor any other emotion. It was as if she was looking at an old, unfamiliar friend.

They stared at each other for a long time, then each looked away, as if nothing had mattered anymore.

At this moment, as the million Taiyi True Immortals followed the rosy light and entered their respective formations, a thunderous sound, like an ancient divine bell, was heard. The Great Dao was trembling, and all the rosy light merged into one, transforming into a towering celestial tower that reached the heavens and the earth.

This tower is not very large, just enough to encompass the Cold Realm, Fire Realm, Wind Realm, and Thunder Realm, as well as the Celestial Realms and the ruins of the cultivation world below. In reality, it freed up a large amount of void space, and all the mortals in the floating city, as well as any beings from the great cultivation world, were transferred in at this moment.

Outside the great formation, there was nothing but emptiness.

Following this, all the celestial palace buildings, all the formations, and even the various floating cities and cultivation halls in the myriad celestial realms within the Heaven and Earth Tower were all disintegrated without exception. Under the power of the One Great Dao, they were forcibly refined into twelve enormous, unprecedented, and special celestial artifacts that were even higher than the level of permanent celestial artifacts.

It was hard to describe; Wang Wu even felt that he might be killed in one blow by these special immortal artifacts.

He even had to wonder if those twelve Great Luos wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate all the restless factors, such as them, the half-step Great Luos whose self-destruction could affect the One Great Dao.
However, that situation never came to pass. The single Dao that the twelve Great Luos had transformed into was still pulsating, perfecting the great formation. The Dao's resonance had never been so frequent. Then, streams of azure energy rose up, mingled with the purple glow, and merged into the Yin and Yang energies, ultimately evolving into Daoist robes.

A Taoist robe inscribed with the One Great Dao.

It is extremely precious and belongs to the level of top-grade immortal artifacts. Wang Wu and others who are half-step Great Luo can tell at a glance that wearing this kind of Daoist robe can greatly enhance the defense of their soul.

However, the quantity is limited to only three thousand pieces.

In fact, just to create these three thousand purple and blue Daoist robes, about one percent of the spiritual energy reserves currently on the books of the Great Immortal Cultivation World were consumed. This is another weakness of the Great Immortal Cultivation World, which is the only Great Dao.

Insufficient resources.

Because most of the resources have been hidden away by the immortals.

If you kill a low-ranking Grand Luo Immortal, you could probably forge ten thousand of these purple-blue Daoist robes.

Even if we kill Wang Wu, we can still forge a thousand of these purple-blue Taoist robes.

This is the biggest difference between them and the Dao Fire Realm. In the process of cultivating the One Great Dao, they are truly cultivating the weight of the One Great Dao.

This is equivalent to, in theory, all cultivators under the One Great Dao system—Earth Immortals, Taiyi, Half-Step Great Luo, and Great Luo—being shareholders of the One Great Dao.

In the Dao Fire Realm, all the shares are held by the World Ecology, and all living beings, even those who become protagonists, are just top-notch employees.

Of course, this is just an analogy; the supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chi Clan certainly wouldn't consider himself to be of lower status than an ordinary Taiyi here.

Three thousand purple and blue Taoist robes flew over, and Wang Wu was assigned one. The moment he put it on, he felt as if his soul had received the infinite protection of the Imperial Observatory Prophet's ultimate move. Even the primordial spirit lamp he cultivated received a three-fold increase.

All things considered, his divine soul has been strengthened fivefold from its original level, which is a considerable increase. It may still be difficult to match the supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chi Clan in the Dao Fire Realm, but at least it will not be one-sided and collapse at the first touch.

At this point, all preparations were complete, and all that remained was to wait for the Dao Fire Realm's expeditionary force to arrive.

To be honest, Wang Wu was also quite curious about how the Dao Fire Realm would attack.

Time passed, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Dao Fire Realm on the other side remained silent, which was not good news. The fact that the Great Immortal Cultivation Realm was making such a big fuss and mobilizing its resources was actually depleting its reserves. In fact, in the past five years, no more immortal cultivators could emerge from among the mortals.

And all cultivators have been unable to advance in their cultivation for five whole years, including Earth Immortals and Taiyi Immortals.

This is detrimental to the entire cycle.

That fire realm won't back down, will it? Of course not, unless they're playing strategic blackmail.

During this waiting period, Wang Wu suddenly had a sudden realization, but it was not a realization he had come to on his own. Rather, it was brought about by the One Great Dao, or perhaps it was information brought by the twelve Great Luo Immortals.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately activated the Three Calamities Evolution to its fullest extent, following the changes of the One Great Dao, and just recklessly charged forward.

A few seconds later, the entire massive Tower of Heaven and Earth shone with light that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, then, carrying the twelve special immortal artifacts, it slashed wildly in a certain direction.

Almost simultaneously, Wang Wu felt one-tenth of his power being drained away, and 50,000 years of his lifespan being forcibly taken away.

The same applies to the other half-step Great Luo cultivators, only with slightly different proportions. For example, the weakest Taiyi fourth-level cultivator was only drained for five thousand years.

But this was just an attack. They didn't even know the specific effects.

This attack was a cross-realm attack, directly striking the Dao Fire Realm.

Expeditions? Not a possibility.

Mutual fighting also seems to be nonexistent.

However, the next second, a cross-realm attack from the Dao Fire Realm also arrived.

It's indescribable what kind of existence it was. Even the glow of the Heavenly Tower was obscured, and all that could be seen was darkness. In the darkness, there seemed to be some ancient and strange creature tearing and colliding. Suddenly, a blood-red eye appeared. No, it was some kind of primordial spirit lamp. Still no!

Because this is a super lamp composed of at least 100,000 primordial spirit lamps!

At that moment, the super headlights turned on.

Wang Wu instantly felt his consciousness go blank, and closing his eyes was useless, because this was a direct gaze into the soul.

All he could hear were the wails of the four clowns. When he regained consciousness, he found that the purple-blue Taoist robe he was wearing had cracked inch by inch and turned to dust. He himself had not suffered any serious injuries.

However, the area outside the Tower of Heaven and Earth was already densely covered with various demons.

One-fifth of the entire Heaven and Earth Tower has been captured.

Because that super-powerful beam of light just now directly extinguished at least 200,000 Taiyi.

At least 500,000 Taiyi have temporarily lost their ability to act.

The battle line is in grave danger!

Where are the Twelve Great Luo Immortals?

No, they're changing locations!

They went to the Dao Fire Realm, so Wang Wu and the others have to hold on.

Because there was no other choice.

This is a struggle based on principles, not a conventional war.

"boom!"

The Great Dao roared once more, and starting from Yin Yuan Shenjun, everyone was risking their lives.

Wang Wu had no choice but to join in with all his might.

With the addition of one half-step Grand Luo cultivator after another, the Heaven and Earth Tower Formation, which was almost completely overwhelmed, finally regained its defensive line.

This is very important because the Chi Clan army has already invaded the interior of the Heaven and Earth Tower, and a large number of Taiyi were harvested while still unconscious due to the illumination of the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Lamp.

By the time Wang Wu and the other half-step Great Luo stabilized the defenses and restarted the Heaven and Earth Tower, the number of Taiyi who had died in battle had exceeded 500,000.

But that’s about it.

When the Tower of Heaven and Earth resumes operation, the strangulation also begins automatically. The five calamities of Yin Fire, Yang Thunder, Evil Wind, Bitter Cold, and Dark Poison sweep across the land, cutting off the retreat of the demon army.

Even though the twelve special immortal artifacts were taken away by the twelve Great Luo Immortals, relying on the eternal immortal artifacts and the immortal artifacts in their hands, they were still able to carry out a one-sided massacre.

In this wave, the Chi Clan deployed at least 5 billion expeditionary troops.

In just ten seconds, only three hundred remained.

These three hundred demons were led by three supreme heavenly emperors, while the rest were heavenly emperors even more powerful than immortal lords. Their strength should be slightly inferior to that of a half-step Great Luo, but not by much.

These demons are far more abnormally powerful. Their physical bodies are so strong that even the Five Calamities have difficulty causing them much damage. Clearly, they are not only extremely strong in terms of their primordial spirit, but also in terms of physical cultivation.

Their only weakness now is that they are too confident. Perhaps they could have predicted that the twelve great Luos here would change their home, but they really did not predict that the Heaven and Earth Tower Formation formed by the One Great Dao would be so powerful.

This is also a drawback of the expedition. This Heaven and Earth Tower formation is like a fortified city, which is very advantageous for defense. So even if a section of the city wall is breached in the early stages, and even if a lot of casualties are caused, the defending army can quickly engage in battle and hold the front line.

But that’s it.

Wang Wu and his group of sixty-four half-step Grand Luo cultivators, leading the remaining less than 500,000 Taiyi cultivators, could only trap these three hundred demons. To annihilate them, they would need at least one Grand Luo cultivator to lead the team and leave behind a special immortal artifact.

After all, the opposing side had three supreme heavenly emperors of the Chi clan whose strength was slightly inferior to that of the Great Luo, but still roughly equal.

Furthermore, if these demons wanted to break through, they couldn't stop them.

However, they are most likely unable to return to the Dao Fire Realm. How could a war to exchange homes be easy?
If they can cause such terrible casualties here, then who knows what kind of bloody storm those twelve Great Luo Immortals will stir up in the Dao Fire Realm.

Given the current situation, as long as the stalemate continues, the advantage still lies with the One Way.

"They're trying to break through. What do you all think?"

Yin Yuan Shenjun suddenly spoke. He had been a young man before, but in this short time, he had aged to the point of having a full head of white hair.

In fact, the other half-step Ronaldo are the same.

Qingxue turned into an old woman, and Wang Wu turned into a decrepit old man, because they both lost between 100,000 and 300,000 years of their lifespan.

Forcibly activating the Heaven and Earth Tower to annihilate the demon race is no easy task.

"What else can we say? Those damned twelve Great Luo Immortals, they certainly had a good time. This trick of using someone else to do their dirty work, I have to admit defeat!"

The former leader of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, the Mountain and Sea God, cursed.

"We can't kill them, we can only stop them. Without Da Luo in charge, we have no way to deal with them."

Another heavyweight near-Ronaldo has spoken out.

"Then let's ignore it. If they want to break through, let them break through. I don't believe that the Twelve Great Luos won't come back. Is this exchange tactic really going to turn into an exchange? Are they just going to stay in the Dao Fire Realm and never leave? They can't possibly give up the One Great Dao, can they?"

His words left everyone silent, and a deep sense of unease began to spread.

Because it's really possible!

Of course, the Twelve Great Luos would not give up the One Great Dao, but what if they wanted to take all the credit for transforming the core of the Dao Fire Realm into the One Great Dao for themselves?
They already took away the quota for the Great Luo Immortal of this era, and now they're not even letting go of the quota for the Dao Fire Realm?
So desperate.

It gives off a vibe of a billionaire's son being a top student, handsome, and incredibly charming...
