Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 183 The army collapses like a house of cards, and a mysterious cultivator appears!

Lin Chen's gaze was fixed on the direction of the Blood-Eyed Demon.

At this moment, he was only a few thousand feet away from the Blood-Eyed Demon.

The Blood-Eyed Demon is not in good condition; his aura is disordered and injuries are gradually appearing on his body.

Fighting twenty opponents, especially twenty Golden Core cultivators with battle formations, was no easy task even for the Blood-Eyed Demon.

Similarly, the Righteous Alliance's formation can't hold for much longer.

Lin Chen keenly sensed that the two ninth-level Golden Core cultivators who were acting as the core of the formation were beginning to run out of mana.

"If things continue like this, I'm afraid the Righteous Alliance will be the first to give way."

Lin Chen frowned slightly and looked at the other battlefields.

The most severe casualties were among the Foundation Establishment cultivators on both sides.

On the demonic side, more than half of the five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators were killed or wounded, with fewer than one hundred surviving.

The corpses of the Qi-refining demon cultivators were strewn across the field.

Even on the righteous path, no fewer than three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators died in battle.

In comparison, the casualties among Golden Core cultivators on both sides were also very high.

In just a few hours, no fewer than ten Golden Core demon cultivators died in battle, nearly half of the demons were killed or wounded.

On the righteous alliance's side, many faces that Lin Chen recognized but couldn't name also met a tragic end...

"If we don't act now, it will be too late..."

Lin Chen silently considered his options and prepared to activate the power of the Candle Dragon.

At this distance, he was confident he could hit the Blood-Eyed Demon with a single blow.

But whether he can be seriously injured remains to be seen...

However, just as Lin Chen was about to make his move.

The Blood-Eyed Demon, trapped between the two formations, was the first to give out.

Although his true energy was still abundant, his aging body had made him feel somewhat tired.

The Blood-Eyed Demon took a deep breath and transformed into a cloud of blood mist, flying thousands of feet away.

At the same time, he shouted:

"Gentlemen, if we don't act now... we'll miss a golden opportunity!"

The Blood-Eyed Demon's voice echoed in the air, causing the surroundings to suddenly fall silent.

Wang Changchun and the others frowned, activating the formation but daring not to make a move rashly.

"Could it be that this old devil has another trick up his sleeve?"

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement around.

"Ha, just bluffing! Let's press on and severely injure this old demon!"

Chen Danxin quickly transmitted her voice to Wang Changchun.

Then the mighty sword energy reappeared, ready to slash at the Blood-Eyed Demon in the distance.

"No, this old monster really has a backup plan!"

Only Lin Chen frowned slightly, as he could sense dozens of auras rapidly approaching from afar.

The target is this battlefield.

At the same time, Wang Changchun and Chen Danxin also sensed those auras.

"Oh no, this old monster really has a backup plan!"

"Hurry up and do it!"

Ignoring everything else, Wang Changchun unleashed his final sword strike, channeling his immense sword energy.

boom!

The terrifying golden giant sword slashed towards the Blood-Eyed Demon in the distance.

The Blood-Eyed Demon King raised his protective true energy, barely managing to withstand the attack.

The aftershocks of the sword's power caused massive cracks to appear in the earth, transforming it into a gaping maw of abyss.

The dust rose slowly into the air, and the air became quiet again.

"Did it work?"

The hearts of all the righteous cultivators were in their throats.

Lin Chen frowned slightly and said:

"We've failed. It seems the Righteous Alliance will have to find a way to escape..."

After his attack failed, Wang Changchun sensed that the Blood-Eyed Demon's aura was still present.

Meanwhile, dozens of figures transformed into streaks of light and quickly arrived from afar.

These people were all dressed in black robes and wore masks, and they also had treasures that could shield them from divine sense.

But without a doubt, all of these dozens of people were Golden Core cultivators!

"A full thirty Golden Core cultivators!"

"Where did this Blood-Eyed Demon get his reinforcements from?"

Wang Changchun was shaken. The moment those thirty Golden Core cultivators appeared, he knew that the operation had failed once again.

So he quickly gave the order:

"All Foundation Establishment stage disciples, board the spirit boat...prepare for retreat!"

"Golden Core cultivators, follow me and provide cover!"

Having said that, Wang Changchun no longer cared about continuing his battle with the Blood-Eyed Demon.

They broke up into smaller groups and joined the battle to stop the one-sided massacre.

In just a few dozen breaths, the Righteous Alliance lost over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Many Golden Core cultivators were killed or injured.

Those thirty Golden Core cultivators were ruthless and their techniques were quite methodical. Without uttering a word, they charged into the crowd.

The situation on the battlefield reversed almost instantly.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"All Golden Core cultivators, board the spirit boat together!"

Wang Changchun called out.

By this time, more than three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators had escaped onto the spirit ship, and the remaining Core Formation cultivators no longer fought and headed towards the top of the spirit ship.

Lin Chen also took this opportunity to board the spirit boat.

He quickly scanned the area with his divine sense, and only after seeing that his master Han Jihai, Li Zhenqian, and others had boarded the spirit boat one after another did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Something's not right. How did these thirty Golden Core cultivators suddenly appear?"

"Could it be that other forces have sent reinforcements to the demonic path?"

Lin Chen frowned, deep in thought.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quietly issued several orders.

Ten martial arts puppets hiding in the shadows also rushed towards the battlefield in case of unforeseen circumstances.

"All members of our Righteous Alliance, retreat immediately!"

"I'll cover you!"

With a single sword strike, Wang Changchun sent a Golden Core cultivator flying, and at the same time, he quickly transmitted his voice to the cultivators of the Righteous Path Alliance.

He had to buy enough time to cover the evacuation of the spirit boat.

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother!"

"No, I'll cover you!"

At this moment, the Peak Master of the Formation Peak spoke up, his eyes filled with determination.

Even knowing that covering the retreat was fraught with danger, he still stayed behind to cover the rear.

"You..." Wang Changchun was about to speak again, but after seeing the firm look in the eyes of the Peak Master, he fell silent.

"Senior brother, you are the sect leader. If anything were to happen to you, wouldn't our Changchun Sect be thrown into chaos?"

"You should leave quickly! With my cultivation level, it shouldn't be difficult for me to hold out for a while with the help of the formation..."

The peak master of the formation quickly spoke, and at the same time took out the Righteous Sword.

"Elder Mo, Elder Wu... you will all follow me to cover our retreat!"

The people that the Peak Master of Zhenfeng called out to were all die-hard loyalists of the Changchun Sect.

They didn't say much after hearing this, but they didn't form an array next to the peak master.

Wang Changchun pursed his lips, finally uttering two words: "Take care."

After that, he transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the spirit boat.

Along the way, Wang Changchun shouted:

"Have you seen Peak Master Danfeng? Old Han!"

"Sect Master, Peak Master Han boarded the spirit ship the moment you gave the order..."

At this moment, an elder at the Core Formation stage gave a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Wang Changchun suddenly looked up and saw Han Jihai waving at him from above the spirit boat.

"That old guy..."

Wang Changchun sighed and boarded the spirit boat together.

As the last group of cultivators boarded the spirit ship.

A massive protective array appeared above the spirit boat, completely protecting it.

Wang Changchun stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at the Golden Core cultivators who were covering the retreat.

He murmured, "Take care..."

Subsequently, Wang Changchun issued the order.

"All cultivators, heed my command... prepare to return to Lingxuan City!"

"The spirit boat is launching!"

Boom!

The enormous spirit ship flew towards Lingxuan City.

Countless spells rained down, causing cracks to appear on the protective formation.

The spirit boat began to rock violently, appearing as if it were about to capsize.

Below, the Peak Master of the Formation Peak was still struggling to hold on.

Even with the mighty sword formation, the number of people was still incomplete.

How could a few people possibly withstand the siege of dozens of Golden Core cultivators?

Seeing that the spirit boat was about to be shot down, the peak master of the formation took a deep breath and murmured:

"Heaven and earth reversed, the five elements inverted... the golden elixir shattered!"

With a roar from the Peak Master, his previously weak aura surged instantly.

In the blink of an eye, he surpassed the limit of a Golden Core cultivator, and his true essence and magic power reached the half-step Nascent Soul level!

The method of shattering the elixir!

This is the last resort for a Golden Core cultivator to fight for their life.

All Golden Core cultivators who shatter their core, regardless of the outcome of the battle, will ultimately meet the same fate...

dead!

If the Golden Elixir is shattered, all magic is lost, and even the Great Luo Immortal cannot save it!

However, at the cost of shattering one's own core, a cultivator's true essence cultivation can surge by one small realm in a short period of time.

The peak master of Zhenfeng is at the late stage of Golden Core. After shattering his core, he will directly reach the half-step Nascent Soul stage!

boom!

With the peak master of the array shattering his core, the power of the Vast Sword Array increased several times over.

They barely managed to hold off the pursuing Golden Core cultivators.

However, there were too many Golden Core cultivators, and they could only hold them off for a short time.

Seeing that the Haoran Sword Formation was about to be completely broken.

The five Golden Core elders who stayed behind exchanged glances and made a decision at the same time.

"The world is turned upside down..."

"Golden Core, shattered!"

"Golden Core, shattered..."

Several crisp sounds faintly echoed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, several terrifying auras soared into the sky.

Six people in a row all chose to shatter their cores.

In an instant, the power of the Haoran Sword Formation increased tenfold.

They firmly blocked those thirty-odd Golden Core cultivators.

On the spirit boat, Wang Changchun sensed the presence below, closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Junior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Mo, Junior Brother Wu, you all..."

"Spirit Boat, full speed ahead!"

Wang Changchun dared not disappoint the kindness of his fellow disciples from the sect.

On the spirit boat, Han Jihai was also pale-faced and remained silent.

"The technique of shattering the core... that alone isn't enough for the spirit boat to escape safely!"

Only Lin Chen shook his head and looked at the voice in the distance.

And there's the Blood-Eyed Demon!

At this moment, although the Blood-Eyed Demon was seriously injured, he still retained the combat power of a Nascent Soul level.

He rushed onto the battlefield and shouted:

"You go after that spirit boat, I'll take care of these men."

Having said that, the Blood-Eyed Demon once again summoned the Netherworld Ghost Qi to block the Righteous Sword Formation.

Most of the thirty or forty Golden Core cultivators were able to escape.

More than twenty of them were preparing to use their magic to blast the spirit boat down.

At this moment, all the cultivators on the spirit boat panicked upon seeing this scene.

No matter how powerful the protective array on the spirit boat was, it couldn't stop these twenty Golden Core cultivators from attacking...

At this critical moment, Wang Changchun suddenly received a telepathic message.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you don't seem to be doing well. Do you need my help?"

"We're old friends, so I'll give you a discount. Detonating a Heavenly Thunder Stone costs 500,000 spirit stones..."

Lin Chen hid in the shadows and used a sound transmission technique.

Although Wang Changchun could not identify who had sent the message.

But at this moment, he had no time to hesitate.

Upon hearing "Xu Shi's" voice, he was overjoyed and quickly said:

"Fellow Daoist Xu! Alright, detonate it quickly!"
