I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 273 The Battle of Yongguo
"The killing unfolds within the Law Hall, and my understanding of the Law of Killing has been deepening. It's only a matter of time before I can comprehend the second step of the Law of Killing. However, this Law of Thunder... it seems difficult to fully comprehend it by simply studying it behind closed doors."

Wu Ming pondered for a moment.

Thirteen years later, his physical body also completed the eighth blood coagulation. He was also a top-level grandmaster in martial arts. With the body of eight blood, he could nourish his soul with blood energy, and his efficiency in tempering his primordial spirit was greatly improved. According to his judgment, it would only take him ten years at most to cultivate his primordial spirit to the limit of the eighth refinement.

With his current primordial spirit cultivation and the supreme primordial spirit formation, even if he stops at the first step in both laws, his breakthrough to the ninth level of primordial spirit refinement will be a natural progression, with no possibility of failure.

But now that he has reached this level, what he seeks is no longer simply advancement in realm; what he needs is to fully understand his own path.

Whether he can comprehend the second step of the Law of Slaughter and the Law of Thunder is still quite important to him. After all, in the process of breaking through the realm, the power of the law is not only an important aid, but also a power to temper the essence of the primordial spirit. It will make his primordial spirit transform and adapt in the direction of slaughter and thunder. This is the so-called 'path of one's own body'.

When it comes to the stage of attempting the Ninth Refinement, everyone takes a different path, and the changes that occur after each person completes the process are also different.

"call."

After exhaling lightly, Wu Ming slowly suppressed his aura and stood up.

Beneath the nine lightning pillars, hundreds of disciples of the Holy Land were meditating. His movement immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Senior Brother Wu is leaving?"

A Taoist master who was relatively close by looked at Wu Ming and greeted him very politely.

Once you reach the level of Eight Refinements and Eight Blood, age or the time you've been a disciple of the Holy Land is no longer important. Among the disciples of each peak, strength is the most respected. Wu Ming was able to sit calmly and cultivate for several years in the place closest to the Nine Heavens Thunder Pillar. His primordial spirit and soul power were obviously far superior to the other grandmasters who cultivated here. Naturally, they all admired Wu Ming very much.

"Having achieved some success, I'm now restless and eager to get back to work."

Wu Ming nodded slightly, responded to the crowd, and then stepped forward, leaving the Nine Heavens Thunder Pillar Secret Realm.

About a moment later.

He returned to his cave on Qingming Peak.

As soon as he returned to his cave, he learned of some unexpected news: about a year ago, there were disturbances in the desolate border region of Yong Kingdom, with a large number of demons harassing the border, which gradually turned into a major war.

The Yong Kingdom was overwhelmed by the situation and could not cope with it. So it sought help from various forces. Neighboring countries sent experts to help, but they still could not drive away the demons. In fact, the situation was getting worse.

"The demon race is harassing the border... Prince Yong once told me about this, and now they've actually come."

Wu Ming looked at the letter left by Yan Chuyu, but his eyes did not show any surprise.

Many years ago, he returned to Yong Kingdom. At that time, the King of Yong Kingdom visited him personally and mentioned this matter to him. He promised that if the demon race attacked the border and Yong Kingdom could not resist, he would take action.

According to Yan Chuyu's letter, the request for help from Yong Kingdom was sent to him half a year ago. However, at that time, he was in seclusion in the Nine Heavens Thunder Pillar Secret Realm. Yan Chuyu did not dare to disturb him, so after leaving him this letter, he set off to return to Yong Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that after Wu Ming returned from the Thunder Domain, he brought with him a lot of resources. Some of the less valuable and useless scraps were given to Yan Chuyu. Yan Chuyu had been cultivating in the Holy Land for many years, traveling back and forth to the Abyss countless times, experiencing many battles and trials. With the resources given to her by Wu Ming, she made several attempts to break through to the Seventh Blood Realm, and finally succeeded a year and a half ago.

Yan Chuyu's aptitude was only average in Yong Kingdom, and even more so in the Holy Land, though not bad. In addition, she was martial and warlike, unafraid of hardship and trials. After following Wu Ming and experiencing much in the Holy Land, she gradually let go of her old grudges. Moreover, the resources she obtained here were far beyond what Yong Kingdom could provide. Being able to cultivate to the level of a Grandmaster was a great achievement.

"In that case, let's go back."

Wu Ming put down the letter.

In fact, during the years since he returned to the Holy Land from the Thunder Domain, he has not always stayed in the Holy Land. Seven years ago, he went back to the Yong Kingdom, but he went back quietly without alerting anyone.

The reason for his return was that Wu Qi was also nearing the end of his life, and he went to see him off on his final journey. He only stayed in Jingye City for three days, and apart from Wu Qi, no one knew that he had returned.

After tidying up briefly, Wu Ming stepped out of the cave.

He found a senior brother from Qingming Peak, asked him briefly, and learned that the peak master had not yet emerged from seclusion. So he refrained from reporting to him, bowed to the main hall at the peak from afar, and then immediately set off to return to Yong Kingdom.

……

Outside Jingye City.

Three hundred miles away.

A long stretch of town gates is located here.

This is a city gate that the Yong Kingdom began building after the demon race in the desolate region stirred up trouble. It took six years to complete and stretches for nearly 10,000 miles, surrounding many border cities, including Jingye City.

At this very moment, a fierce battle is breaking out on this long city gate.

But then they saw hordes of demons swarming across the mountains and plains, charging towards the city gate. Some of them could leap seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-60 meters) in a single bound, while others had eight arms and could climb the city gate to swim up. Still others were clumsy and unable to climb the city wall, so they gathered below the city gate, carrying large stones and rolling logs and throwing them with all their might, hurling them at the city gate to bombard the defending soldiers.

the other side.

Tens of thousands of Blood Clotting Warriors stood atop the city gate, wielding standard-issue spears and relentlessly thrusting and stabbing at the area below. This large-scale and unified warrior formation was incredibly powerful, and many powerful demons at the third or even fourth transformation stage were instantly killed when they tried to break through the gate.

Normally, martial artists each have their own strengths, and unless they are organized into a military formation, it is difficult for them to be united into a single unit.

The reason why such a large-scale military force could be formed in Jingye City is that the Yong Kingdom has carried out extensive reforms of the city system over the past ten years in response to the border situation. It has adopted a special wartime system, which is uniformly controlled by a martial arts grandmaster who has achieved seven blood coagulations. All forces have been forcibly united into one, which is also the norm for humanity when facing a crisis.

Yong Kingdom was established late and is located on the border. Naturally, it has to face the constant harassment of the demon race in the desolate border areas. Therefore, it formulated various strategies as early as the beginning of its establishment.

On the city gate.

Humans and demons clashed, locked in a bloody battle, their flesh and blood splattering like a meat grinder, creating a scene of utter hell. In such large-scale warfare, the balance of power was often determined by the order of events that determined victory or defeat.

On the battlefield at this moment, the human race clearly has the advantage.

The main reason was that the human soldiers remained unmoved, like ruthless killing machines. Even if valuable and rare demon cores and demon hearts flew past them, no one dared to leave the formation to pick them up.

However, the demon race found it difficult to maintain such restraint. Even with the presence of demon kings and even demon emperors, the lower-level demons still struggled to form an orderly and disciplined formation.

When a powerful demon from another race falls, its flesh and heart shatter and scatter, the demons that follow will often immediately open their mouths to devour it.

Although doing so would cause some demons to undergo transformations during the great war, constantly giving birth to even more powerful demons, it was precisely because of this that the demons' attacks were always stumbling and unable to break through the human army's defensive formations.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, some powerful demon kings finally couldn't sit still any longer and made their move.

Wow! ! !
With a long cry, nearly a hundred demonic lights pierced the sky, crossing the battlefield and attacking the rear of the city gate.

Each ray of demonic light represents a five-transformation demon king.

"You fiend, cease your arrogance!"

At the same time, angry shouts came from behind the city gate. Beams of light shot into the sky, and warriors with powerful bows and crossbows met the demon king flying from the sky.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle, and the situation was unclear.

Following closely behind the Fifth Transformation Demon King, more than ten beams of light shot into the sky. These were the Sixth Transformation Demon Kings, who roared and pounced fiercely.

Behind the city gate array, on a tower, two figures stood: one was Gao Yuanheng, the head of the Martial Academy of the Qianlong Academy in Yong Kingdom, and the other was none other than Yan Chuyu, who had returned to Yong Kingdom.

After decades of honing his skills, Yan Chuyu, now a grandmaster, has not changed much in appearance, but his temperament has become more weathered and dignified, and he has the appearance of a grandmaster.

"The six demons have all made their move. They seem to be getting restless and are probably going to have a decisive battle with us."

Yan Chuyu gazed at the battlefield and spoke slowly.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Gao Yuanheng spoke in a calm tone.

Yan Chuyu achieved the Grandmaster level with great difficulty, but her current strength is only barely at the normal level among Grandmasters. In comparison, Gao Yuanheng, the head of the Martial Academy, is much stronger and is at the level of a top Grandmaster.

It was precisely because of his strength that he was able to single-handedly oversee Jingye City until Yan Chuyu returned.

now.

On the battlefield, the Six Transformations Demon King made his move, and experts from the human race's ranks who had reached the Six Refinements and Six Bloods level also went to meet him. The battle was extremely fierce, but Grandmasters Gao Yuanheng and Yan Chuyu remained seated and unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai.

After another quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the demon race finally made a move again. Three mighty and terrifying auras soared into the sky and pressed down, which was the demonic aura of the Seven Transformations Demon Emperor!

"Finally here."

A cold glint flashed in Gao Yuanheng's eyes. He took a step forward, stepping into the air and rushing towards the city gate.

At the same time, his voice rang in Yan Chuyu's ears.

"You're in charge of the golden-feathered demon bird on the west side. I'll deal with the other two."

Of the three Seven Transformations Demon Emperors who attacked, only the Golden Feathered Demon Bird on the west side had a slightly weaker aura. It seemed to be a newly promoted Demon Emperor. Gao Yuanheng directly blocked the other two, leaving only the weakest one for Yan Chuyu to deal with.

Yan Chuyu didn't say much either. She also leaped up, tapping her toes a few times in the air, and arrived directly above the city gate. She looked at the golden-feathered demon king rushing towards her and suddenly said, "Your aura is somewhat familiar. Have you been here before?"

“My son once perished here, and now I am the Demon Emperor. It is time for you humans to pay for your blood debt.”

Golden Feather Demon Emperor Yu Heng spoke in a cold voice.

The words fell,

It immediately flapped its wings and unleashed a burst of blazing golden flames at Yan Chuyu. These flames constantly shifted in the void, transforming into feathers that shot out like sharp arrows.

"Oh it's you."

Upon seeing this, Yan Chuyu's expression did not change much, but a glint of light flashed deep in her eyes.

Many years ago, on the border of Jingye City, a demon king perished, which attracted a great demon king, who was from the Golden Feather Demon Bird clan. At that time, Liu Muyuan, who was the head of the Cautious Punishment Division, took action and fought a great battle with him, defeating him.

At that time, she hid below, facing a six-transformation demon king, her body trembling, like an ant.

now,

Decades have passed. Although the Great Demon King of that time has also made breakthroughs and cultivated into a Seven Transformations Demon Emperor, she is no longer the ant she once was. Instead, she is a martial arts grandmaster who has condensed blood seven times and can fight against a Demon Emperor.

"The death of your offspring here is fate. You dare to invade the borders of my human race, and you are destined to perish here as well."

Yan Chuyu drew her weapon and swung it forward, instantly tearing apart the countless golden flames and long feathers in the sky, engaging in battle with the Demon Emperor Yu Heng.
