Chapter 470 The Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughtering Immortal Formation [Please Subscribe]

There are very few late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Heavenly Spirit Realm; there are only two.

In terms of both seniority and ability, Master Kunxu is the strongest among them.

At this moment, many Nascent Soul stage monsters showed signs of contemplation as they seriously considered the feasibility of what he said.

In fact, for these Nascent Soul stage monsters, as long as they still exist and the foundation of their sects and families remains, the disciples and followers lost on the battlefield are nothing.

In any case, as long as they can provide a stable supply of various resources, the lost Foundation Establishment cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators can be supported and cultivated again within one or two hundred years.

On a more optimistic note, war can help them weed out the bad and select the truly outstanding seeds that are worth supporting and nurturing.

Therefore, regardless of the situation on the battlefield, they remained calm and composed.

Some old monsters even treated this war as a gambling game, privately placing bets on various treasures as a form of entertainment.

However, if these Nascent Soul stage veterans also join the battle, the war will become different.

Although these Nascent Soul stage monsters are not easily killed, each of them possesses several trump cards to save their lives, as well as the difficult-to-solve life-saving technique of Nascent Soul leaving the body to escape.

However, if a Nascent Soul stage expert were to perish, things would get really messy!

The fall of a Nascent Soul stage expert could lead to the decline or even annihilation of a major sect.

It's no exaggeration to say that they don't just live for themselves.

Therefore, when Master Kunxu said he wanted to organize a destruction of the spatial teleportation channel, these Nascent Soul stage monsters had to seriously consider the feasibility and safety of this matter.

Everyone knows that if they head straight for that spatial teleportation channel, the demonic cultivators will definitely defend it to the death.

Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators will face the risk of perishing in the great battle.

"This is a matter of great importance. I believe it is necessary to discuss this further with our fellow Daoists back home before making a decision!"

After an unknown period of silence, a Nascent Soul stage expert suddenly spoke up and expressed his opinion.

This opinion was subsequently endorsed by the majority of people.

It is evident that when it comes to their own safety, these Nascent Soul stage monsters become extremely cautious, unlike their usual casual conversations.

Master Kunxu was not in a hurry, and calmly replied, "I am merely expressing my own opinion. The final decision rests with all fellow Daoists in the alliance, a rule established when the alliance was founded!"

So the meeting ended not long afterward.

Zhou Chun was naturally unaware that preparations for the final decisive battle of the war had already begun.

He has now arrived at the front line with the team.

As far as the front-line battlefield is concerned, they don't care what those Nascent Soul stage monsters decided.

As long as they do not receive a ceasefire order from the highest levels of the alliance, the cultivators responsible for the frontline offensive will continue to focus solely on how to kill the enemy and eliminate the demons.

Therefore, with the demonic cultivators now retreating their positions, Wei Yong and the other commanders of each battalion are trying to find ways to take a piece of the enemy's territory.

Recently, Wei Yong and the commanders of several other battalions plotted to capture an important stronghold of demonic cultivators.

Therefore, Zhou Chun, his ace fighter, was also transferred to the front line, hoping that he could play an ace role in the battle.

"The Yin Xuan Cave stronghold we are attacking this time is a separate residence that the Corpse Demon Sect has established and managed for five or six hundred years. Originally, it was guarded by at least one Golden Core stage elder of the Corpse Demon Sect. Now, it has become an important supply point for the three major demonic forces: the Corpse Demon Sect, the Yin Ghost Sect, and the Blood Bone Sect. There are no fewer than five Golden Core stage demonic cultivators permanently stationed there!"

"According to intelligence we obtained from our inside sources, there are at least eight thousand demonic cultivators inside the Yin Xuan Cave stronghold, including an estimated six or seven Golden Core stage demonic cultivators and fifty or sixty Purple Mansion stage demonic cultivators!"

"If we can capture this stronghold, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Yuanmo Legion and greatly deplete their war potential!"

In a quiet room, Zhou Chun and Wei Yong were alone, listening to Wei Yong explain the details of the mission.

He had just been transferred from the rear and was indeed unfamiliar with the mission details.

Wei Yong specially transferred him here, and then called him over for a private talk, which obviously had a special purpose.

After briefly introducing the mission details, he then began to discuss the task assigned to him.

"The reason I sent you here, Zheng Chun, is because, according to intelligence, that 'Netherworld Prince' Yin Shaotian is very likely also at this Yin Xuan Cave stronghold. He's an old rival of yours, and I hope you can take him down this time!"

Wei Yong now has at least 80% knowledge of Zhou Chun's true strength.

Therefore, he knew very well that as long as Zhou Chun went all out and there was a suitable opportunity, it wouldn't be too difficult to take down Yin Shaotian, the "Prince of the Underworld".

After all, Zhou Chun's Thunder Flood Dragon White can be said to be the natural counter to the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to use all his demonic skills.

Faced with Wei Yong's arrangement, Zhou Chun nodded slightly and said, "If given the opportunity, it shouldn't be difficult for me to kill Yin Shaotian!"

After saying that, he added in a low voice, "However, this fiend Yin Shaotian most likely possesses a secret technique like the 'Blood Soul Guide,' so if I were to kill him, I would have to consider that!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yong immediately replied decisively, "Don't worry about that. As long as you can kill Yin Shaotian, I will personally ask a senior to help you dispel this kind of secret technique upon your return. I will absolutely not let you be bothered by it!"

"If that's the case, then I have no more reservations and will simply await your orders, Commander."

Zhou Chun nodded, his expression resolute in indicating his stance.

Seeing this, Wei Yong couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He immediately promised him some more benefits and then left.

After seeing Wei Yong off, Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes as he recalled what Wei Yong had just said about the Yin Xuan Cave.

"Among the fifty or sixty cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, there should be at least five or six Purple Mansion cultivators from the Blood Bone Sect!"

He muttered to himself, then reached out and touched his storage bag, a determined look in his eyes.

Half a month later, the Heavenly Spirit Legion suddenly mobilized five battalions at once, heading straight for the demonic cultivator stronghold of Yin Xuan Cave, and within two days they had completed the encirclement of the stronghold.

As the war has progressed, the Tianling Legion's battalions can no longer maintain full strength, and the five battalions now have a force of just over 20,000.

But this is still a very large number!

After all, the entire Heavenly Spirit Legion only has a few hundred thousand members.

Around a mountain range shrouded in gray clouds, groups of Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators, organized into large units, formed battle formations and launched a fierce attack on the protective array of the Yin Xuan Cave ahead.

Because these battle formations were almost identical, when the attack was launched, all that could be seen were long magical spears or giant magical swords, each over ten feet long, shooting towards the gray clouds.

Each attack caused turbulent waves within, putting this forbidden formation to a tremendous test.

The demonic cultivators inside the Yin Xuan Cave were naturally unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

They either formed battle formations or acted individually, unleashing various demonic supernatural powers to launch a counterattack against the cultivators outside.

These counterattacks posed a great threat to cultivators below the Golden Core stage. Moreover, because the great formation blocked their vision and divine sense, and they had to maintain the operation of the battle formation, many attacking cultivators simply did not have time to defend or dodge.

Ultimately, they could only rely on powerful cultivators like Zhou Chun and some Golden Core cultivators to help defend against and intercept these attacks.

Despite this, attacks from demonic cultivators continued to break through the defenses and cause massive casualties among the crowd.

But that's war!

There are rarely true victors in war; most victories are achieved at the cost of killing three thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

Therefore, no one will pity the monks who died or were injured.

Those cultivators who had not been attacked continued to faithfully carry out their superiors' orders, doing their best to attack the Yin Xuan Cave's protective array.

"At the earliest, two days; at the latest, three days, the forbidden array of the Yin Xuan Cave will break down!"

While intercepting and blocking the attacks that shot out from within the formation, Zhou Chun also observed the changes in the formation and made his own judgment.

The Forbidden Array's defensive capabilities are indeed extremely strong. If the number of attackers and their strength are insufficient, it would be difficult to break through it even after several months or years.

However, if attacked by a large number of enemies, even a forbidden formation cannot withstand it for very long.

The current number of Zhou Chun's five battalions is more than enough to launch a saturation attack on a mountain-protecting formation of the Yin Xuan Cave level.

Only a forbidden formation of the level of the Qinglian Temple's mountain gate formation could withstand such an attack.

Forbidden formations of that level connect the entire spiritual vein and possess almost inexhaustible energy, making them very difficult to break through through attrition warfare.

Therefore, the real difficulty in breaking through the Yin Xuan Cave, this stronghold of demonic cultivators, lies not in its protective mountain formation, but in the demonic cultivators' reinforcements.

Zhou Chun and his group must break through the protective formation of Yin Xuan Cave and annihilate the demonic cultivators inside before a large number of demonic cultivator reinforcements arrive.

Otherwise, once a large number of demonic cultivators arrive as reinforcements, they will have no chance of achieving their objective in this battle.

The task of intercepting the demonic cultivators' reinforcements is now being carried out by other battalions of soldiers.

One day, two days!

Just as Zhou Chun had predicted, after two days of relentless attacks, the protective array of the Yin Xuan Cave stronghold was already teetering on the brink of collapse and was about to crumble.

According to intelligence, the demonic cultivators' reinforcements are currently stuck on the road and are unlikely to reach the Yin Xuan Cave stronghold within a day or two.

All aspects of the situation are favorable to Zhou Chun and his group.

Zhou Chun also held back slightly at this moment, preparing to unleash a massacre in his best condition after the formation was broken!

After attacking for another half day, just after midnight, the protective array of Yinxuan Cave could no longer hold and shattered with a crash!

First, several gaps that were difficult to mend appeared in various places. Then, under the fierce attack of the attacking cultivators, the gaps grew larger and larger. In the end, the entire formation lost its effectiveness because many of its key points were destroyed.

At the same time, the demonic cultivators inside seemed to have been prepared. Before Zhou Chun and his group could charge in, they had already split into several teams and broken out.

"Now is the time to vanquish demons and uphold justice! Soldiers of the Heavenly Spirit Legion, follow me and slay the traitors!"

A powerful and majestic voice rang out from the sky, and then Wei Yong and more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators bravely charged forward, heading straight for the Yin Xuan Cave stronghold.

Inside the Yin Xuan Cave, several Golden Core stage demonic cultivators displayed their unique abilities to meet these Golden Core stage immortal cultivators, creating an opportunity for other demonic cultivators to break through.

Zhou Chun acted only slightly slower than Wei Yong and the others.

He stood on a golden-armored mountain tortoise stone, flanked by a dragon on his left and a tiger on his right, and charged straight at the nearest group of demonic cultivators who were trying to break through the encirclement.

"Damn it, it's that killer Zhou Zhengchun, the 'Dragon Prince'!"

"That damned Zhou Zhengchun, why did I have to run into him!"

"Where is Fellow Daoist Yin? Quickly, summon him to deal with this murderous star, Zhou Zhengchun!"

Among the demonic cultivators who were breaking through the encirclement, many of them recognized Zhou Chun and, accompanied by Long Hu, rushed towards them. Their expressions changed drastically, and they shouted in panic as if they had seen the Grim Reaper.

From questioning Zhou Chun, to affirming Zhou Chun, and then to fearing Zhou Chun.

This is the mental journey of those Purple Mansion stage demonic cultivators on the battlefield over the years.

Now, wherever Zhou Chun appears, demonic cultivators who see him will immediately have a stress response.

It was just like when those Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators saw the people inside the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demon".

What Zhou Chun terrifies these demonic cultivators the most is that once he sets his sights on you, even using the Blood Escape Technique might not be enough to escape!

Therefore, when they discovered Zhou Chun blocking their way, the demonic cultivators who were trying to break through immediately panicked.

Some people immediately changed direction and broke through.

Some people stopped in their tracks.

No one dared to actually go up and confront Zhou Chun!

This is the influence of figures at the level of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits," an influence built upon countless corpses of demonic cultivators.

The idea that only the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons" can fight against the "Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirits" has now taken root in the hearts of low- and middle-level cultivators on both sides.

Therefore, if a figure of this caliber appears on the battlefield and the other side does not have a figure of the same caliber to deal with him, morale will plummet.

However, this time, Yin Shaotian, the "Prince of the Underworld" who was stationed in the Yin Xuan Cave, did not stand up to challenge Zhou Chun!

At this moment, Zhou Chun saw that the demonic cultivators were frightened by his "fearsome reputation," and he once again felt the benefits that fame brought him.

And naturally, he wouldn't hold back at all because of that.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the "Golden Flame Demon-Slaying Blade," which slashed towards a Blood Bone Sect demon cultivator.

Lei Jiao Bai Bai and Jin Chi Hu, without needing his orders, also seized a Blood Bone Sect demonic cultivator and began to attack.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators of the Corpse Demon Sect and the Yin Ghost Sect were overjoyed.

They showed no intention of advancing or retreating together, and without saying a word, they bypassed Zhou Chun and ran away, showing no intention of helping those Blood Bone Sect cultivators.

Zhou Chun was not arrogant enough to think he could keep all the demonic cultivators alive, so he did not make any move against the fleeing demonic cultivators, but focused on killing the Blood Bone Sect demonic cultivators.

"Damn Zhou Zhengchun, why are you only targeting and killing people from our Blood Bone Sect? We have no grudge against you!"

A demonic cultivator from the Blood Bone Sect glared at Zhou Chun with resentment and angrily questioned him, feeling extremely angry about this differential treatment.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately sneered and said, "If you want to know the reason, then you should ask Elder Yan of your Blood Bone Sect. Back then, he chased me so hard that I had nowhere to run!"

He naturally wouldn't reveal the real reason, but he didn't mind giving that Golden Core stage demonic cultivator from the Blood Bone Sect who had been chasing him a bit of a hard time.

Not long after the exchange, Lei Jiao Bai Bai's side first killed a Blood Bone Sect demonic cultivator, and then came to help Zhou Chun.

With Lei Jiao Bai Bai's assistance, Zhou Chun quickly killed the demonic cultivator whose cultivation had been suppressed by his [Heart-to-Heart Golden Lock] secret technique.

Meanwhile, more than 20 miles away, a Blood Bone Sect demonic cultivator who was trying to escape using the Blood Escape Technique was also forcibly stopped by the Golden Winged Tiger through a series of "Flash Techniques".

When he was forced to fight the Golden-Winged Tiger, the Golden-Winged Tiger suddenly flapped its wings, and two blue whirlwinds flew towards him.

Upon seeing this, he instinctively activated a blood banner artifact to release a blood-colored light barrier to protect himself.

Unexpectedly, the two whirlwinds suddenly merged into one in front of him, creating a huge cyan hurricane tornado that trapped him inside.

Before he could break free of the hurricane tornado that was trapping him, the Golden-Winged Tiger had already appeared near him in two flashes.

Then, a blue light suddenly flashed beneath the Golden-Winged Tiger's wings, and six demonic bees with rings of blue stripes on their bodies flew out.

As soon as these demonic bees flew out, they spat out six white, icy arrows straight at the Blood Bone Sect demonic cultivator trapped inside the hurricane tornado.

By this time, it was no secret that Zhou Chun was raising "Heavenly Frost Bees." Upon seeing this, the Blood Bone Sect demonic cultivator let out a desperate scream: "No, no..."

Before he could finish speaking, six arrows of icy energy pierced into the hurricane tornado, directly breaking through his protective light barrier and freezing him solid.

Then, the Golden-Winged Tiger deliberately dispersed its supernatural powers, and with a single charge, it lifted the head off the Blood Bone Sect demonic cultivator with its claws!

By the time the Golden-Winged Tiger returned to the battlefield with the demonic cultivator's corpse, Zhou Chun and Lei Jiao had already killed another Purple Mansion stage cultivator from the Corpse Demon Sect for nothing.

Just as Zhou Chun was about to go find Yin Shaotian, the "Prince of the Underworld," a sudden change occurred!

woohoo~~

Roar~ Roar~~

Suddenly, a series of ghostly wails and corpse howls rang out from the Yin Xuan Cave stronghold, and then countless ghostly figures and refining corpses surged out of the Yin Xuan Cave, rushing towards the living people in the area.

Not only were the cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion attacked by these ghostly figures and refining corpses, but even the demonic cultivators were not spared!

However, most of those demonic cultivators had the means to control corpses and ghosts. After sensing the aura on them that made them fearful, many ghosts and corpse refiners turned their attention to the cultivators.

Therefore, most of the ghostly figures and corpse-refining attacks still target the cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

The number of these ghostly figures and refining corpses was simply too great, countless and densely packed, like an army of ants continuously rushing out from the Yin Sha Cave below the Yin Xuan Cave.

Even though most of them were weak low-level demons that could be killed by a Qi Refining stage cultivator, their sheer number was overwhelming.

As a result, the Heavenly Spirit Legion, which had initially held a clear advantage, was instantly thrown into chaos and was no longer able to encircle and annihilate the demonic cultivators who were trying to break through.

Some cultivators from the Yin Ghost Sect and the Corpse Demon Sect even took advantage of this perfect opportunity of the hundred ghosts walking at night and ten thousand corpses roaming, and released their own sacrificial evil ghosts and corpses to launch a counterattack against the cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

Among them, Yin Shaotian, the "Prince of the Underworld," stands out the most.

This demon and seventeen other cultivators from the Purple Mansion stage of the Yin Ghost Sect each held a black banner, together forming the Yin Ghost Sect's secret battle formation, the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughtering Immortal Formation." They forcibly enslaved the emerging Yin ghosts as ghost soldiers within the formation, providing power support for this battle formation.

Caught off guard, hundreds of cultivators from the Heavenly Spirit Legion were swept into the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughtering Immortals Formation." In an instant, they, along with four Purple Mansion stage cultivators inside, were turned into dried corpses. Their life essence was devoured by the ten thousand ghosts in the formation, and even their souls were transformed into fierce ghosts within the formation!

This scene terrified many cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion, and they all turned and fled in haste.

Just then, a loud shout came from the sky.

"Where is Inspector Zhou Zhengchun? You are hereby ordered to command the entire army and vanquish the demons and monsters!"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Chun immediately recognized it as the order from his superior, Wei Yong.

He immediately disregarded whether Wei Yong had the authority to appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and hurriedly replied loudly, "Your subordinate Zhou Zhengchun obeys!"

Then he took his two pet dragons and tigers and headed straight for the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughtering Immortals Formation".

Of course, Zhou Chun wouldn't be foolish enough to jump into the fray directly.

While still halfway there, he began to shout loudly, "All Heavenly Spirit warriors, listen to my command! Anyone with the means to vanquish demons and slay ghosts, step forward and join me! I will lead you all to vanquish demons and slay ghosts!"

After saying that, he continued, "All other soldiers, leave this place immediately and continue to hunt down the fleeing demonic cultivators. Anyone who slacks off will be executed without mercy!"

This is when Zhou Chun's influence became apparent.

Upon hearing his order, many cultivators who were not under Wei Yong's command moved at the command, spontaneously moving towards him or retreating.

None of these people thought about anything else; they truly regarded him as the supreme commander present and wholeheartedly obeyed his orders.

When he arrived in front of the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughtering Immortals Formation", more than a dozen Purple Mansion stage cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had already gathered behind him.

Yin Shaotian had naturally noticed Zhou Chun's presence long ago.

Seeing Zhou Chun leading his team to break the formation, he couldn't help but shout, "Zhou Zhengchun, everyone says you are my nemesis. Do you dare to enter the formation and fight me today!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun retorted coldly without backing down, "Yin Shaotian, you don't need to provoke me. Since I've led the team here, I'm here to take your head to console the fellow Daoists who died at your hands!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, releasing the fourth-tier low-grade puppet that he had rarely used in recent years.

I didn't manage to write 8,000 words today! I have to get up early for a blind date tomorrow, so I'll see if I can make up for it then. It's only the 12th, there's still plenty of time, no rush!
