The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 578 The Guardian Dog
"So, we've become the guard dogs?"

Wang Wu was also astonished. What was going on with those twelve Great Luo Immortals? However, he decided to wait and see. What if they came back at any time?
"We think they won't be coming back."

The four clowns suddenly spoke up, "After this period of research, we feel more and more that the Dao Fire Realm has a stronger vitality. Although it is very strange there, if we can use an analogy, our Great Immortal Cultivation Realm here is like a rich mine that has been completely mined. It used to be very rich, but now it has been basically mined out. No matter how hard we try, it is difficult to extract enough resources. It may be enough to maintain our daily lives, but if we want to go further, it will be very difficult."

"But the Dao Fire Realm is like a virgin land that has not yet been fully developed, with great potential. So tell me, ask yourself honestly, if you were one of those Great Luo Immortals, what would you choose? Have you ever considered the possibility that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms might decline or weaken? What would you do then?"

The words of the four clowns made Wang Wu think deeply. But at this moment, he saw Su Rong step forward and say loudly, "Senior Yin Yuan, Senior Shan Hai, and all the other seniors, when you were famous in the cultivation world, I was not even born. Logically speaking, in the current situation, I am not qualified to say anything, but please hear me out."

"My Xuantian Sect has three Grand Luo Immortals. I did not receive a single word of instruction from these elders beforehand. However, there is one thing I feel I must make clear to you all: before this battle, my Xuantian Sect's three Grand Luo Immortals selected thirty million mortals to enter the Qiankun Heaven and Earth. Now these mortals have all been taken to the Dao Fire Realm. I dare to guess that there may be some purpose behind this. So, how about we all wait a little longer?"

"That's right. Not only did the three Grand Luo Immortals of the Xuantian Sect take away 30 million mortals, but the Grand Luo Immortals of my Azure Dragon Clan also took away 30 million demons."

At this moment, another half-step Grand Luo shouted, and soon more and more people were reconciling their accounts.

In the end, everyone fell silent, because the twelve Great Luo Immortals had taken away a total of 60 million mortals and 90 million demons.

So what's the point of this? Are they really going to settle down and establish themselves in the Dao Fire Realm?
Don't you want your own home anymore?
"Very well! I understand now, I understand!"

Suddenly, the incredibly aged Yin Yuan Divine Lord burst into laughter, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Don't you understand? You don't understand because you are not a Great Luo. Even if you and I are only half a Great Luo, we cannot understand the thoughts of a true Great Luo. What we value, the Great Luo will not value. What we swear to protect, the Great Luo can discard like a worn-out shoe! It's just because their goal is only to go further."

"They have no hope of staying in this great cultivation world; they can only watch their days pass by unchangingly in their endless lifespans."

"But now, they have found a new direction. I guess the Great Luo Immortals of Xuantian Sect and Qingyun Sect want to lead the human race to participate in the competition for the next ecological protagonist of Daohuo Realm. There are currently no humans in Daohuo Realm, nor is there any soil for humans to survive. No matter how the ecology changes, it is impossible for it to adapt to the emergence of humans."

"The same goes for the demon race. The Azure Dragon, Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Ancient Bear, White Tiger, and Qilin—these nine demons are joining forces, vying for the next ecological protagonist in the Dao Fire Realm. Haha, their schemes are truly grand."

"They were trying to find a way to break through to the next level through this method, so we were all deceived. We thought they cared a lot about the One Path, but in the end we found that only we cared, because without the One Path, we are nothing."

"Yes, that is the truth. Just wait and see. In a few million or tens of millions of years, when the next cycle of the Dao Fire Realm is formed, we will see who the protagonist is. But even in the future, when the human race or the demon race becomes the protagonist of the ecosystem, they will still be nothing more than tools for these twelve Great Luo, tools for them to break through to the next realm, just like us right now."

"You all understand now, so stop arguing. Those twelve Great Luo can discard the One Great Dao like a worn-out shoe, but we can't. This hollowed-out junk is the foundation for our survival."

"Look at those three hundred demons. They can't return to the Dao Fire Realm. They are the whips left to us by the Twelve Great Luo Immortals, constantly lashing us, making us dare not relax, and even less dare to self-destruct, because there is no longer a lose-lose situation, because the Twelve Great Luo Immortals are gone, they are no longer here..."

"Therefore, fellow Daoists, we cannot let these three hundred demons break through. We must take advantage of the restraint of the Heaven and Earth Array to kill as many as possible. Who is willing to fight alongside me?"

“Fellow Daoist Yin Yuan, do not be reckless. There are three Supreme Heavenly Emperors of the Chi Clan on the other side. Our only advantage is the Heaven and Earth Grand Array. Even if we want to weaken them, we can only take advantage of their breakout and attack them while they are crossing the river! If you agree with this, I will fight you.”

The Mountain and Sea God shouted.

"Excellent! Attacking while the enemy is crossing the river is the most brilliant move. Count me in."

"Since I have no hope of reaching the Great Luo realm in this life, then the rest of my life is too boring. These demons will entertain me and make me laugh. Count me in."

Even Wang Wu silently stepped forward at this moment. He counted and found that there were fifteen half-step Grand Luo cultivators. Among them were veteran half-step cultivators like Yin Yuan Shen Jun and Shan Hai Shen Jun, who had lived for millions of years and whose lifespans were actually estimated to be running out, as well as Su Rong and Lin Ran, who had lost their faith and were now giving up because they had been abandoned by their elders.

Upon seeing that Wang Wu had also chosen to fight, Qingxue, who had remained silent until now, followed suit.

Wang Wu glanced at her but said nothing.

They gathered here, and within the Heaven and Earth Formation, the Chi Clan had already begun attempting to break out, and seemed to clearly understand their strategy: to attack while the enemy was crossing the river.

So they decisively divided themselves into four parts. The first three parts were each led by a supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chi Clan, and the last part was responsible for covering the rear. There were a total of fifty Chi Clan Immortal Lords, each of them fierce and fearless.

Both sides have their cards revealed now.

Soon, the three hundred demons began their breakout, with one Supreme Heavenly Emperor assisting and another responsible for the breakthrough.

Meanwhile, on the One True Path side, under the command of various half-step Grand Luo Immortals, more Taiyi True Immortals were mobilized into the formation. This increased the difficulty for the Chi Clan to break through, while also maximally restraining the three Chi Clan Supreme Heavenly Emperors. Without these three, a successful breakout would be virtually impossible.

As for Wang Wu and the other eighteen half-step Grand Luo cultivators, they were prepared and waiting for a good opportunity. As for tactics, having them was as good as not having them.

Because everyone is destined to fight their own battle.

However, the three hundred demons they faced were also forged through countless trials and tribulations, and were commanded by three supreme heavenly emperors, so their efficiency and experience were no less.

Therefore, even though the Heaven and Earth Array was becoming more and more effective and the difficulty for the Chi Clan to break through was constantly increasing, there were no loopholes or flaws under the command of the three Supreme Heavenly Emperors.

If things continue like this, Wang Wu and his men's plan to strike while the enemy is crossing the river may never be realized.

No matter who it is, as long as they dare to charge down, they will surely be attacked by a Supreme Heavenly Emperor and no less than fifty Demon Clan Immortal Lords.

Upon seeing this, Wang Wu immediately shouted,
"I possess the Golden Light of Creation, which allows me to withstand three moves from the Supreme Heavenly Emperor. Please do not miss this opportunity!"

After saying that, he rushed down. Almost at the same time, he also activated the Creation Golden Light given to him by his cheap master. He couldn't wait for the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the opposing demon race to make a move before activating it, otherwise it would be almost as if he had no chance.

Even so, Wang Wu felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a quagmire and sunk into an abyss.

Previously, with the protection of this great array of heaven and earth, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor seemed nothing special from afar. But only when they truly faced him did they realize that he was as huge as a mountain, while they themselves were as insignificant as ants.

His golden light of creation didn't even last a second before it was torn apart!
But this was exactly the effect Wang Wu wanted. The second golden light of creation was activated instantly, and the dazzling golden light that shot into the sky could even slightly reveal the trajectory of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor's power.

Then, Wang Wu struck while the iron was hot, adding a third golden light of creation, finally succeeding in temporarily suppressing the power of the supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chi Clan. Although it could rebound in the next second, it was enough for the overall situation.

The other two Supreme Heavenly Emperors had no way of withdrawing their help, nor did they have any chance to do so. Without them to counter the Heaven and Earth Array, the power of the Heaven and Earth Array alone would have been enough to crush the remaining Demon Clan Immortal Lords to the ground.

So in that instant, the Hidden Origin Divine Lord, the Mountain and Sea Divine Lord, and thirty-four other half-step Great Luo Immortals all attacked at once. Yes, more than fifteen of them. Seeing that Wang Wu, who could take a beating, was the first to draw the aggro, only a fool would remain indifferent.

If I don't show off my DPS, how will the world know that I'm a half-step into the Great Luo Immortal realm?

This scene can be considered a classic testament to the quality of a player who is almost a step up to the top.

Those who were capable of fighting at the half-step Great Luo level immediately unleashed their most powerful techniques, resulting in truly extraordinary destructive force.

As a veteran half-step immortal, Yin Yuan Divine Lord instantly killed three demon race immortal lords with a single move, and then turned around without any hesitation.

Other veteran half-step masters like Shan Hai Shen Jun and Wu Yin Shen Jun can also deliver a double or triple kill in an instant!

There was no way around it; the timing, location, and people were all in place. It was different from when Wang Wu launched his expedition to the Dao Huo Realm and instantly killed three enemies on their territory.

It's very relaxing and comfortable here.

Even so, no one was greedy. The veteran half-step Grandmasters all got two or three kills, and even Qingxue only got one double kill before quickly turning back.

As for Su Rong and Lin Ran, these newly promoted half-step cultivators who had only lived for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, they were even more conservative, each killing one Chi Clan Immortal Lord before turning back.

The main theme is "coming and going in a hurry".

That's roughly equivalent to Wang Wu consuming three precious rays of Creation Golden Light, and these people contributing the heads of thirty-six Chi Clan Immortal Lords.

Did it weaken the enemy?
Of course it's been weakened.

Did you win?
Of course, you'd win!
As for how Wang Wu escaped, well, that's simply a matter of good fortune.
