Chapter 227 The Power of the Golden Core is Dazzling! [Please Subscribe]

After hearing the telepathic message from the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, everyone in the Zhou family quickly took out the Rejuvenation Pills, put them in their mouths, and began to refine them.

The Zhou family had been preparing for this war for a long time, and had already collected a lot of important war supplies such as the Rejuvenation Pill.

Even before the war began, taking advantage of the soaring price of this elixir on the market, he resold over a hundred of them, earning a considerable amount of spirit coins.

However, even if such pills are plentiful, people generally won't easily take Rejuvenation Pills to restore their mana unless they receive a time-limited order like before, or they are fighting in a place where supplies cannot be obtained.

After all, these pills are not cheap, so it's best to use them sparingly if possible.

In the current situation, if it weren't for Elder Zhou Mingde's telepathic instruction, and with the temporary camp where they could meditate and recover their mana, none of the Zhou family members would have considered taking the Rejuvenation Pill to promptly restore their depleted mana.

The actions of the Zhou family cultivators were also witnessed by other cultivators nearby.

Some cultivators didn't understand why the Zhou family would act this way, and just cursed the Zhou family as rich and powerful in their hearts, and then they didn't care anymore.

However, some cultivators, after some hesitation, secretly began to take the Rejuvenation Pill.

Zhou Chun and the others pretended not to know about the actions of these followers.

After all, they really didn't know how the situation would change, so doing this was just buying themselves some insurance.

The Zhou family is indeed wealthy enough to afford this insurance!

Time passed slowly. After the offensive lasted for about three hours, some early and mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators began to slow down their attack frequency due to the large consumption of mana.

Normally, at this point, they should be ordered to return to camp to meditate and recover their magical power.

However, the order was delayed in being passed down.

This unusual situation also alerted some vigilant cultivators, who hurriedly slowed down their attack frequency while taking out Rejuvenation Pills to consume, disregarding the cost.

Another half hour passed before the order finally came down.

However, to everyone's surprise, this was not an order to withdraw and reorganize, but an order to intensify the attack.

"By order of our Martial Uncle, everyone must attack the formation with all their might, without holding back in the slightest. Anyone who disobeys will be executed on the spot!"

Then, Mingjing Daoist shouted to convey the decree of the sect's Golden Core cultivators, and then took the lead in activating a blue mirror, shining a beam of blue light towards the water curtain shield.

Hearing his order and seeing his actions.

Then he looked up again at the Golden Core cultivators sitting cross-legged on the clouds in the sky.

Regardless of how much they were cursing in their hearts, all the cultivators below gritted their teeth and unleashed their true abilities to fiercely attack the great formation.

Under the watchful eyes of as many as twenty Golden Core cultivators, no one dared to slack off.

Apart from some secret techniques that could damage their own vital energy and could not be used easily, they used all the conventional methods available.

For example, on Zhou Chun's side, the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai and the Golden Armored Rock Turtle Shi Tou have been released and joined the attack formation.

"Oh no! These old Taoist priests from Qinglian Temple are serious!"

Inside the Black Dragon branch altar, upon seeing the sudden and much fiercer attack outside the formation, the Black Dragon Hall Master's expression changed, and his eyes immediately revealed an extremely solemn look.

The leader of the Black Dragon Hall of the Transformation Dragon Sect is named Di Long. He is a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and is currently the strongest member of the Transformation Dragon Sect in this Black Dragon branch.

What's even more remarkable is that he is also a master of formations capable of setting up top-tier formations. The protective formation of this Black Dragon branch altar was personally set up by him.

It was precisely because he, a master of formations, personally took charge, guiding and harmonizing the magical power of the numerous Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators within the branch altar to maintain the operation of the great formation, that the protective formation could unleash such powerful force.

But he knew very well that human strength is sometimes limited.

Despite being far outnumbered by the Jingguo Allied Forces outside, even with a master of formations like him controlling it, the Black Dragon Branch's protective formation was not unbreakable.

The three major sects have so many Golden Core cultivators, and they are not lacking in people who are proficient in formations.

Even if someone's mastery of formations is slightly weaker than his, by pooling their wisdom, they can still find a suitable way to break the formation.

Judging from the actions of the Jingguo Alliance outside, they have clearly found a way to break the formation!

Thinking of this, Dillon immediately addressed the Golden Core cultivators who still retained their power: "To stop those old Taoist priests, we must take a risk and suddenly charge out when they are working together to break the formation, disrupting their rhythm!"

"As long as they can't work together to break the formation, the protective array will return to normal after one hour!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tianxing, the leader of the Golden Dragon Hall who had come to provide support, immediately said in a deep voice, "Then let's do it this way. The reinforcements from the main altar will arrive in a day or two at most. We must hold out until they arrive!"

"That's right, the Crimson Dragon Hall is gone, and the Black Dragon Hall absolutely cannot be allowed to suffer any more harm, otherwise we will all be sinners against our sect!"

Mo Hanqiu, the Grand Elder of the Black Dragon Hall, also spoke up in a deep voice, strongly supporting and agreeing to fight.

With the support of these two heavyweight experts, and knowing the consequences of the formation breaking, the other Golden Core cultivators quickly agreed to the matter.

Meanwhile, outside, Zhou Chun and the others were attacking the formation while taking medicine. After about two more hours of fierce attacks, some early Foundation Establishment cultivators had even exhausted their mana and collapsed on the ground.

Only then did the twenty Golden Core cultivators make a move.

The three Golden Core cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple stood up simultaneously, each waving their sleeves to summon an ancient bronze sword with a simple and elegant design.

Then, the three of them formed a sword incantation with their hands, and with the help of their magic power, the three bronze ancient swords that looked almost identical suddenly shone brightly.

"disease!"

As if they were of one mind, the three Golden Core stage cultivators from the Azure Lotus Sect shouted at the same time, and three ancient bronze swords radiating intense sword light instantly transformed into three azure sword rainbows that shot towards the black water curtain shield in front of them.

At the same time, the other seventeen Golden Core cultivators also activated their prized magic weapons, following the three cyan sword rainbows as they blasted towards the water curtain shield.

In an instant, the brilliance of these twenty-odd magical treasures overshadowed the various spells and supernatural powers cast by Zhou Chun and his thousands of companions.

Under the powerful divine sense control of the Golden Core cultivators, the power of their own magical treasures was perfectly separated from that of other people's magical treasures, and there was no accidental incident of mutual consumption.

The sight of these magical treasures flying together shocked Zhou Chun and the others, who even forgot to continue their attack.

But as the power of those magical treasures finally landed on the water curtain shield, bursting forth with dazzling spiritual light, Zhou Chun and the other cultivators whose cultivation was below the Purple Mansion stage suddenly felt a sharp pain in their eyes, as if they were being burned, forcing them to involuntarily close their eyes and shed tears.

"My eyes!"

Some early Foundation Establishment cultivators with low tolerance for pain couldn't help but cover their eyes and scream on the spot.

Although Zhou Chun was much stronger than them, he still lowered his head and his eyes were temporarily blinded.

However, it was because the spiritual light emitted by those magical treasures was so dazzling that it was enough to damage their fragile eyes just by looking at it.

Not only their eyes, but even their divine senses were unable to get close to the areas where the power of those magical treasures was rampaging.

Is this the power of a Golden Core cultivator unleashing their full strength?

Is this the power of a magic weapon?

Zhou Chun tried his best to channel his magic power into his eyes, attempting to restore his vision as quickly as possible.

But his heart was filled with shock.

He had only personally experienced the extreme speed of a Golden Core cultivator flying with a magical artifact, and had only witnessed the earth-shattering scenes after a Golden Core cultivator made a move.

This is the first time I've ever witnessed Golden Core cultivators fighting like this.

Moreover, this was the first time that twenty Golden Core cultivators were seen attacking at the same time!

Before this, he could only imagine what it was like for a Golden Core cultivator to fight, based on the words left by his predecessors in the classic texts.

But how can mere words truly describe the power of a Golden Core cultivator? How can they compare to the direct experience of witnessing a Golden Core cultivator in action?

When Zhou Chun finally regained his sight, he found that the situation had changed drastically.

The black water curtain that guarded the Black Dragon branch altar had been torn open, revealing a huge gap inside, through which various people and objects could be seen at the Black Dragon branch altar's gate.

High in the sky, twenty Golden Core cultivators from the Jing Kingdom were locked in fierce combat with ten Golden Core cultivators from the Hualong Sect, along with two black dragons and a giant black tortoise beast.

Those three fourth-tier demonic beasts were the fourth-tier high-grade black dragon, the fourth-tier mid-grade ink dragon, and the fourth-tier low-grade black water tortoise recorded in the intelligence report.

Because the strength of that fourth-tier high-grade black dragon was too great, even the late-stage Golden Core cultivator from the Moon Wheel Sect who came to help, and the late-stage Golden Core rogue cultivator "Heavenly Mirror Hermit" who had a great reputation in Jing Kingdom, were no match for it when they joined forces. Only with the help of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator from the Azure Lotus Temple could they barely restrain it.

At the same time, the fourth-tier mid-grade black dragon also restrained two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators and one early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Meanwhile, the fourth-tier low-grade Black Water Tortoise, whose master was none other than Di Long, the leader of the Black Dragon Hall, was now fighting alongside its master against a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple.

It was precisely because of these four that the nine Golden Core cultivators were restrained, allowing the remaining nine Golden Core cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect to contend with the eleven Golden Core cultivators of the Jing Kingdom, though at a slight disadvantage.

"By order of our sect's senior uncle, everyone who is still able to move must immediately attack the Black Dragon branch altar's mountain gate through the breach, and must destroy the foundation of the protective array within to prevent the array from recovering!"

Just as Zhou Chun looked up at the sky, trying to peek at the battle between the Golden Core cultivators, Mingjing Daoist's thunderous shout suddenly rang out.

Even though Daoist Mingjing had used all his strength to shout, Zhou Chun could only barely understand his words due to the powerful noise interference from the battle between the Golden Core cultivators in the sky. Most people couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Fortunately, although the sound was disturbed, the transmission of divine sense was not.

So Mingjing Daoist and some Qinglian Temple cultivators quickly used their divine senses to notify all parties, and finally conveyed the order in the shortest possible time.

However, this order caused many cultivators to complain bitterly.

Their attack on the Black Dragon branch's protective array had already depleted a large amount of their mana. Those in better condition now only had about 50-60% of their mana left, while those in worse condition only had about 30%.

In this state, sending them to attack the mountain is practically sending them to their deaths.

For a moment, many cultivators hesitated and stood still.

Just then, Zhou Mingde shouted loudly, "Zhou family cultivators, follow me!"

With that, he mounted the Vulcan Jackal and led the charge.

Thanks to Zhou Chongshan's reminder, Zhou Chun and the others, who had been maintaining sufficient magical power, responded to the family's Supreme Elder and quickly followed.

This scene caught the attention of Daoist Mingjing and many cultivators from the three major sects, making them remember the Zhou family of Jiufeng Ridge.

Immediately, Daoist Mingjing shouted, "Fellow Daoists, rest assured! The traitors of the Dragon Transformation Sect inside are also exhausted of their magical power, and their condition is only worse than ours!"

Before the shout had even finished, he led the cultivators from the three major sects in a fierce charge.

"This junior doesn't understand. Since they knew we were going to attack the mountain at this time, why didn't those Golden Core stage seniors give us a heads-up beforehand so everyone could take Rejuvenation Pills to replenish their mana?"

Within the Zhou family's ranks, Zhou Jiarui looked at the cultivators behind him who, despite having little magic power left, were forced to continue charging forward due to orders, and asked Zhou Mingde with a puzzled expression.

Before Zhou Mingde could respond to his words, Zhou Chun spoke up for him.

"What you, Eleventh Uncle, can think of, how could those Golden Core stage seniors not think of it?"

"If we inform them in advance, and everyone attacks the protective formation while taking Rejuvenation Pills to recover their mana, wouldn't that reveal our intentions to the Dragon Transformation Sect members?"

"Then they'll also take elixirs to restore their mana, and simultaneously refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore their mana. Do you think that protective formation can still be broken? Are we in a better state than them now?"

These words left Zhou Jiarui speechless, and he remained silent.

Soon, the Zhou family members who were at the forefront rushed into the Black Dragon Branch Altar Mountain Gate through the gap in the great formation, together with the cultivators from the three major sects.

Meanwhile, the Black Dragon Hall cultivators, who had already received instructions from the Black Dragon Hall Master Di Long, also mustered their remaining strength and rushed to the gap to intercept the cultivators attacking the mountain.

Compared to Zhou Chun and the others, they were the ones who truly had nowhere to retreat and could only fight to the death to fight for a chance to survive.

A fierce battle soon broke out.

In order to prevent the battle between the Purple Mansion stage cultivators from affecting Zhou Chun and the other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, Zhou Mingde led the Fire God Jackal and quickly left the Zhou family's group, heading straight for a certain array node indicated by Zhou Chongshan. That was also a place that the Black Dragon Hall's guardians were focusing on protecting.

This is the first update for today; there will be another one tonight!
