Chapter 63 Spirit Realm Cultivators Descend to the Mortal World
With his unparalleled escape skills and formidable strength, Wang Tianlong charged through the ancient demon horde, drawing heavy fire while remaining completely at ease. However, when he took a moment to survey the entire battlefield, his heart sank.
The situation in the war has deteriorated to the extreme for the human race.
In the distance, Ling Yunchen, the Palace Master of the Star Palace, was being besieged by three ancient demons in the late Nascent Soul stage. Although he wielded the Star Sword, its blade flashing, he was in grave danger due to the coordinated and frenzied attacks of his three equally powerful enemies. His protective aura was dimming, and each parry was extremely difficult, clearly indicating that he was at his limit.
Elsewhere, the situation for the human Nascent Soul cultivators was equally dire. Already outnumbered, they had been battered and bruised for days, their magical power depleted, leaving them riddled with wounds. Now, under the siege of the ancient demons, some let out final roars before their bodies shattered, their nascent souls destroyed, and they perished completely. In the sky, the auras of the human Nascent Soul cultivators were extinguishing one by one.
On the other hand, while the ancient demons suffered injuries, very few perished. Their overwhelming numerical superiority allowed them to launch relentless attacks, wearing down the last of the human cultivators' strength.
"At this rate... within an hour, the entire human race's Nascent Soul stage will be wiped out." Wang Tianlong's heart tightened, and he instantly assessed the situation.
Just as Wang Tianlong was considering whether or not to run away.
Above a desolate wilderness in the Great Jin Dynasty, space fluctuated violently like the surface of water before being forcibly torn apart by an irresistible force, creating a massive spatial rift out of thin air.
Within the crack, spiritual light shone, and powerful auras surged forth!
Immediately afterwards, figures stepped out of the crack in an orderly fashion.
The two leading figures possessed particularly astonishing auras.
On the left stands a woman of exquisite beauty and graceful figure, enveloped in a seven-colored glow, seemingly an ethereal fairy untouched by worldly concerns, yet possessing an air of domineering authority. She is none other than the demon queen Linglong of the demon race.
On the right was an elderly human with a simple, ancient face and a thin build. His aura was restrained, yet he gave off an unfathomable feeling, as if he contained a world-destroying power within him. He was none other than the Human Refinement Stage cultivator—Master Xuanhun.
Behind them stood a thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators (half human and half demon), arrayed in solemn formation like a well-trained army. The spiritual pressure emanating from them converged, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge!
This force is nothing short of a divine intervention for the human realm today!
"This... is the human realm?" The beautiful demon queen's eyes swept over this land, which was relatively barren of spiritual energy but also exuded a familiar aura. She murmured to herself, "The spiritual energy is indeed much thinner, and the suppressive power of the interface is stronger than expected."
"Hmm." Venerable Xuanhun nodded slightly, his expression solemn. "Our cultivation levels have all been suppressed. However, it should be enough to deal with those ancient demons."
His gaze was like lightning, looking into the distance as if piercing through the endless void, and seeing the soaring demonic energy that permeated all parts of the human world.
"The situation seems worse than the intelligence indicated." The Demon Consort Linglong also sensed the unsettling fluctuations of demonic energy, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "The demonic energy covers an extremely wide area; it seems the invasion of the ancient demons has penetrated even deeper than we anticipated."
"The most urgent task is to join forces with the human forces as soon as possible and understand the detailed battle situation," said Master Xuanhun in a deep voice. "According to the information provided by Senior Zilei Sanren, the core of the human cultivators' last resistance should be in Kunwu Mountain."
"Kunwu Mountain..." Linglong Demoness pondered for a moment, "Alright. It is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the human realm, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has ancient teleportation arrays that lead to various places, which can serve as our base for counterattack."
After a brief discussion, the two reached a consensus.
"Everyone, listen to my command!" Master Xuanhun's voice echoed throughout the area. "Target—Kunwu Mountain! If you encounter any ancient demons along the way, kill them without mercy!"
Led by the Demon Consort Linglong and the Venerable Xuanhun, the reinforcements from the Spirit Realm sped towards Kunwu Mountain. Since their arrival point was within the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, not far from Kunwu Mountain, and given that all of them were at the Nascent Soul stage and possessed astonishing speed, they did not encounter any organized ancient demon armies along the way.
However, the devastation of the human world shocked these cultivators from the spirit world.
The once bustling town has been reduced to ruins, the sacred mountain has been corrupted by demonic energy, and corpses litter the land, with the air thick with a nauseating stench of blood and decay. Occasionally, one can see demonic creatures with bloodshot eyes and completely deranged minds wandering about, like walking corpses.
"The human realm... has been ravaged to this extent." The Demon Consort Linglong looked at the tragic scene below.
"The ancient demons have always acted this way, utterly devoid of humanity." Master Xuanhun's tone was icy; he had long heard of the demons' cruelty.
Along the way, they encountered a demonized cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage. This person was originally an elder of a sect, but had now become an ancient demonic puppet, frantically attacking all living beings.
Without Linglong Demoness and Xuanhun Venerable taking action, a human Nascent Soul cultivator in the group subdued the demonized cultivator with a casual wave of his hand.
"Search the soul," Master Xuanhun said calmly.
The Nascent Soul cultivator immediately used the Soul Searching Technique to forcibly read the chaotic fragments of the demonized cultivator's memories.
A moment later, he reported solemnly, "Reporting to Venerable Master and Demon Consort, I have learned from this person's memories that although the main force of the Ancient Demons did not directly attack Kunwu Mountain, most of the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty has already fallen. The Ancient Demons have adopted a strategy of dividing their forces, launching attacks in all directions to wipe out the human race's remaining strength. Other cultivation worlds, such as Tiannan, Luanxing Sea, and Wulong Sea, have also suffered fierce attacks and are preoccupied with their own survival."
He paused, then continued, "Although Kunwu Mountain has not yet fallen, it is heavily besieged by ancient demons, and the situation is extremely precarious. Human cultivators... have suffered heavy casualties."
Although they were mentally prepared, Linglong Demoness and Xuanhun Master still felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing such detailed bad news.
"Dividing his forces and gradually weakening them, surrounding them without attacking... This ancient demon commander is quite the schemer." The enchanting concubine sneered. "He wants to gradually erode the power of the human cultivators before easily taking over Kunwu Mountain."
"We must get to Kunwu Mountain as soon as possible," Master Xuanhun decided decisively. "Only by preserving Kunwu Mountain as our last stronghold can we keep the spark of a counterattack for the human realm. If Kunwu Mountain falls, the human realm will be plunged into complete chaos, and it will be even more difficult for us to organize an effective resistance."
"Pass down the order: full speed ahead! Ignore the small groups of demons along the way and head straight for Kunwu Mountain!" Linglong Demoness ordered.
"yes!"
The thousand Nascent Soul cultivators answered the command in unison, their spiritual light intensifying by three times, and their escape speed suddenly increased. Like an arrow released from a bow, they pierced the sky and headed straight for Kunwu Mountain.
Great Jin Dynasty, Kunwu Mountain, Council Hall.
Unlike the raging war in Tianxing City, Kunwu Mountain was unusually quiet at this moment, but beneath this tranquility, there was a suffocating sense of oppression.
Inside the main hall, there were only a handful of people. Xuan Qingzi, one of the three elders of Kunwu, sat in the main seat, his expression weary and solemn. Beside him sat several Nascent Soul cultivators who had also stayed behind, each with a furrowed brow.
"Brother Xuanqing, the battle reports from the front lines... are getting worse and worse." A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in a green robe spoke in a hoarse voice. He was the patriarch of an ancient family in the Great Jin Dynasty. "Tiannan, Luanxinghai... have fallen one after another. Now, even Tianxing City has... alas."
He sighed deeply, his unspoken words understood by all. The fall of Tianxing City meant that the human forces in the Chaotic Star Sea were essentially destroyed, allowing the ancient demon army to join forces with the ancient demons within the Great Jin territory without any worries. At that time, Kunwu Mountain would face unprecedented pressure.
"Palace Master Ling Yunchen... is there any news?" Xuan Qingzi asked in a deep voice.
"There is no definite news yet." Another cultivator in charge of intelligence shook his head. "We only know that before the fall of Tianxing City, some cultivators evacuated through the teleportation array, but their whereabouts are unknown."
