Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Master Xuanjian was, after all, the leader of the human race on the White Stone Plateau. Many of the cultivators in the army resisting the alien races here were disciples of his sect, and he had extremely high prestige among them.

Furthermore, he had fought against those alien races many times, and his understanding of their situation was far superior to that of Zhou Chun, who was new to the area.

Therefore, even though Zhou Chun was stronger than him and had killed a fifth-tier barbarian king as soon as he arrived, he had no intention of competing with him for power.

As long as he doesn't intend to harm himself, Zhou Chun will not object to his reasonable decisions and will not mind following his instructions.

At this moment, once he expressed his opinion, the other four Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had come with him naturally had no other objections and all spoke up to express their own attitudes.

After everyone had determined their roles and priorities, Master Xuanjian immediately began to introduce the details of the alien alliance on the White Stone Plateau.

"The alien alliance that invaded the White Stone Plateau was mainly composed of the Heavenly Soul Clan and the Earth Barbarian Clan. The Five Elements Spirit Clan only sent one Earth Spirit King with some members of the Earth and Metal Spirit Clans to assist in the battle."

"After Fellow Daoist Zhou killed that barbarian king of the Earth Barbarian Clan, there are now only eight fifth-tier beings left in the alien alliance. Among them, there are two mid-grade fifth-tier beings, one each from the Heavenly Soul Clan and the Earth Barbarian Clan, two low-grade fifth-tier Heavenly Soul Clan members, three low-grade fifth-tier Earth Barbarian Clan members, and one low-grade fifth-tier Earth Spirit Clan Spirit King."

"However, before Fellow Daoist Zhou and you arrived, the number of fourth-tier beings in the alien alliance was actually more than that of our human race. In direct combat, our side was far inferior, mainly because the Heavenly Soul Clan had enslaved many fourth-tier demonic beasts and fourth-tier corpse servants."

At this point, True Immortal Xuanjian looked at Zhou Chun and the others and said, "Now that Fellow Daoist Zhou and you have arrived, and given our overwhelming numerical advantage among fifth-tier beings, we can arrange for one or two of us to wipe out those fourth-tier alien races and crush this alien coalition as quickly as possible!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately asked, "Where are the reinforcements? Now that our reinforcements have arrived, will the alien alliance send reinforcements immediately?"

"Furthermore, have you, Fellow Daoist Suspended Sword, investigated the strength of the defensive array at the alien alliance's camp?"

Upon being asked this question, Master Xuanjian's face immediately showed embarrassment. He said somewhat awkwardly in a low voice, "Uh, I'm afraid I can't answer these questions, Fellow Daoist Zhou. Previously, we were on the defensive and never attacked the alien camp. Moreover, our rear area has now fallen, and we have no way of knowing exactly how many fifth-tier beings the three alien races have. It's hard to say whether they can send reinforcements immediately!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, please don't take offense. I am only stating the facts and have no intention of criticizing you or the others."

He then continued, "However, in my opinion, since the situation is not very clear right now, we should be on the safe side and not rush to launch a full-scale counterattack. Instead, we should first launch a joint attack on the alien alliance's camp to test its defenses!"

"That makes sense, Fellow Daoist Zhou's words are very reasonable. I underestimated the enemy just now, and I shouldn't have made that mistake!"

Master Xuanjian nodded repeatedly, agreeing with his suggestion, and also frankly admitted to self-criticism.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanjian is simply worried about the war and desperately wants to avenge those fellow Daoists who perished."

Zhou Chun smiled slightly, offering him a way out.

Having reached this agreement, the group immediately flew straight to the alien alliance camp.

The alien alliance's camp was built on a sacred mountain that they had already breached. It was protected by a unique array of formations, and all that could be seen outside was a vast expanse of rolling yellow sand and clouds.

"Judging by this setup, the array formations and restrictions here are probably extraordinary, not some simple array!"

He Zhenren, who came to provide support along with Zhou Chun, observed the alien allied army camp from afar using his spiritual eye technique before expressing his opinion with a solemn expression.

He is also a master of formations, only a step away from becoming a grandmaster of formations, so he has a good eye.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Nascent Soul cultivator who had previously fought against the alien races chimed in, saying, "Among the three alien races, the Five Elements Spirit Race and the Heavenly Soul Race both possess remarkable skills in the art of formations. Judging from the situation of this formation, it seems to be the work of that Earth Spirit Race Spirit King?"

Upon hearing this, Master He immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, the formations of the alien races are different from those of our human race. Although the great path leads to the same goal, even a master of formations would find it difficult to easily see the flaws in an alien formation of this level."

"In that case, let's try a fierce attack first and see if we can break through with brute force!"

Master Xuanjian also spoke up, expressing his own opinion.

The suggestion was unanimously approved, and then they scattered and launched a fierce attack on the sea of ​​yellow sand and clouds.

On Zhou Chun's side, he immediately released Silver Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord to assist in the battle. The three of them, master and servant, attacked together, using their own supernatural powers or activating their magic weapons, launching a continuous offensive against the sea of ​​yellow sand and clouds.

To attack such a protective mountain formation, you would need to use a technique that exceeds the formation's limits to break it in one strike.

Otherwise, they can only wear down the power of the formation through overwhelming saturation attacks and slowly observe its weaknesses while it is being depleted.

Nascent Soul stage cultivators possess extremely powerful divine senses. Even if they are not very proficient in the art of formations, they can gradually glimpse some weaknesses by observing the rise and fall of the power of the great formation.

Attacking these weak points is obviously more effective than attacking other areas.

However, a well-designed formation will have fewer weak points, and some of these weak points can be moved.

Furthermore, those in charge of the formation will not stand idly by while the enemy attacks these weak points; the cultivators inside will focus on defending these areas.

Zhou Chun and his group of fifteen fifth-tier beings launched a fierce attack around the great formation. Although the alien fifth-tier beings inside were trying their best to intercept and resist their attacks, they were still no match for the overwhelming force, and many of their attacks landed in the yellow sand and sea of ​​clouds.

After a fierce attack lasting half an hour, the yellow sand and sea of ​​clouds gradually receded, revealing a perfectly round, egg-shaped protective array.

Clearly, the yellow sand and sea of ​​clouds were merely the surface of the formation; what truly withstood the attacks of numerous fifth-tier beings was the formation's protective shield.

Zhou Chun made a hand seal and urged his magic weapon, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, to unleash a surge of golden light. A sharp and unparalleled golden beam of light struck a point on the protective shield.

But then, the golden light and yellow glow on the earthen-yellow protective shield collided violently, creating a dent in the thick shield.

However, the shield eventually returned to normal due to the subsequent weakening of the golden beam of light.

When that first move failed, Zhou Chun came up with a new one.

He opened his mouth and spat out a beam of golden divine light, which shot out as bright as starlight and struck the array's protective barrier.

This attack easily pierced through the array's protective barrier, creating a crack about a foot wide on it.

However, in the face of the massive array that stretches for hundreds of miles, such a small crack is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean and insignificant.

Furthermore, the crack only lasted for less than three breaths before it was repaired by the power of the formation.

This result made Zhou Chun nod to himself, and he was actually quite satisfied with it.

His [Formless Gengjin Divine Light] divine power has now been cultivated to the great perfection level. Its attack power is no less than that of some spiritual treasures, and even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator must take it seriously.

Therefore, it was not unexpected that they were able to break through the array's protective barrier.

However, this supernatural power consumes a great deal of magical power when activated. If he activates it one by one, he can still use it normally.

If he were to unleash multiple spells at once, while it's not impossible, it would inevitably deplete his magical power rapidly, making it easy for him to run out of energy.

Therefore, this supernatural power is okay to use in one-on-one combat, but if it is used to break through formations and attack strongholds, unless he can find the location of the formation's core and break it directly, it is a complete waste of magic power.

Besides Zhou Chun, the other person capable of breaking through the array's protective barrier with a single blow was Master Xuanjian.

The magical treasure he possessed was a flying sword. While its magical abilities were naturally inferior to those of treasures like the Moon Toad Pearl and the True Dragon Seal, it far surpassed these two treasures in terms of attacking and breaking through enemy defenses.

Driven by the sword technique of the Sword Master, each attack of this sword would tear a crack in the array's protective shield.

However, there are also capable individuals among the powerful alien races inside.

Each time this sword strikes, a purplish-black scimitar flies out from within to intercept it.

The owner of this purplish-black curved blade was none other than the fifth-rank mid-grade Heavenly Soul Clan member, and its grade was also a first-level spiritual treasure.

Therefore, although Master Xuanjian could occasionally dodge the purplish-black curved blade and tear a crack in the array's protective shield, he was still insufficient to break the array completely.

Unlike the two of them, the others either cultivated powerful offensive divine abilities or possessed spirit-treasure level flying swords, so their attacks on the array's protective shield were merely attritional.

After attacking for half an hour, Master Xuanjian immediately withdrew his flying sword and said to everyone, "Fellow Daoists, please stop for now. Let's return to our camp to rest and then discuss how to break the formation."

Upon hearing his words, everyone paused slightly, then readily put away their magical powers and treasures and left the area together.

After everyone returned to the human race's stronghold camp, they discussed the matter of breaking the formation again.

"As you all have personally witnessed, the alien camp's array formations and restrictions are incredibly strong and far more powerful than we expected. If we don't send a large army, it would take us at least several days to break through the array's spiritual power."

"Although we can afford to wait several days, Fellow Daoist Zhou is right. We must be wary of the alien reinforcements. If they do appear after we have exhausted our mana and their numbers exceed our expectations, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Inside a grand council hall, Master Xuanjian sat on the main seat and, without hesitation, spoke first, sharing his views.

Upon hearing his words, everyone in the hall frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Chun spoke first, saying, "In my opinion, it is a bit too reckless to send a large army forward now. If any unexpected situation arises, it will not be difficult for us to withdraw, but it will not be so easy for those below to retreat back to the main camp in time."

He then further explained, "We have already launched counter-offensives in various regions. If the alien alliance truly has any backup plans, they will likely have to bring them out by now. Since Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable has not given us a time limit to defeat the enemy, why don't we observe for a few days before making a decision?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zhao, who had come to support him, nodded repeatedly and said, "Absolutely, absolutely. Fellow Daoist Zhou's words have struck a chord with me. I also believe that we should not be greedy for merit and rush into victory, lest we give the enemy an opening."

Then, a Nascent Soul cultivator who was originally stationed on the White Stone Plateau nodded and said, "I also think Fellow Daoist Zhou is right. Since Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable has not given us a time limit to defeat the enemy, why should we be in such a hurry to defeat them? The current war situation is still unclear, and it will always be beneficial to observe for a longer period of time!"

These Nascent Soul stage cultivators are all shrewd individuals. The fact that they have been able to cultivate to this point and survive to this day shows that they are well-versed in the ways of survival and self-preservation.

Although everyone has a sense of the big picture and knows that the sooner we can defeat the alien alliance, the more resources we can spare to support other battlefields.

But they certainly wouldn't be willing to risk being wounded or killed, or to suffer defeat and lose territory.

This is a classic example of how one's perspective is determined by their own position.

This approach may not be entirely correct, but it certainly won't lead to any major mistakes.

Therefore, Zhou Chun's statement is not difficult to be accepted by most people.

Under these circumstances, even if Master Xuanjian had other ideas, he would not dare to act arbitrarily.

After all, if everyone opposes him and he insists on going his own way, and something really goes wrong, then he will have to take full responsibility.

After some discussion, they decided to hold back for the time being and wait for everyone to rest before continuing to wear down the formation of the alien alliance camp. This would maintain a certain level of pressure and also give Tai Geng God Venerable an explanation.

As Zhou Chun said at the meeting, once the human race's counterattack begins, it will be all-out and they will not hold back at all.

On the surface, the human race, by drawing reinforcements from all sides, now has almost two-thirds more fifth-tier beings than the alien coalition.

With such a huge advantage, the originally fierce alien alliance was immediately stunned, and several fifth-level beings fell within a day!

As for those fourth- and third-tier alien races, countless more perished.

During the war between the two races, there were no restrictions on higher-level beings attacking lower-level beings; the so-called tacit agreements of the past no longer existed.

However, most of the time, both sides follow the most basic rules of war. Before an absolute advantage or disadvantage is formed between the high-level beings on both sides on the battlefield, they will not simply slaughter each other's low-level beings.

However, these basic rules of war obviously cease to exist once one side is completely defeated.

Therefore, once one side is defeated on a battlefield, the casualties will be extremely heavy!

In this situation, the secret weapon of the alien alliance was indeed quickly revealed.

This trump card was not unexpected by many high-level human cultivators; it was the demon race, which could be called the fourth race of Tianman Plain!

There were originally many fifth-tier demon kings on Tianman Plain, and a large number of demon beasts also lived there.

In the past, the three major alien races and those demonic beasts were hostile to each other, and the Earth Barbarians especially liked to hunt and eat demonic beasts to enhance their cultivation.

However, after the alien alliance was in trouble, it quickly received support from the demon race on Tianman Plain.

More than a dozen fifth-tier demon kings rushed out from the Tianman Plain and arrived at various battlefields to support the three alien races.

Even more massive beast tides, numbering over a million, swept south from the Tianman Plains and flooded into human territory.

In addition, a massive army of corpse refiners was brought out by the Heavenly Soul Clan.

This massive army of corpse refiners was entirely composed of the corpses of third- and fourth-tier Earth Barbarians, which were refined from the corpses of Earth Barbarians who had died of natural causes over a long period of time.

This clan specializes in physical cultivation. Once they reach the third level, even if they die of old age, their bodies will remain incorrupt for thousands of years!

For countless years, the corpses of the dead Earth Barbarians have been sent to a Yin Sha land on the Tianman Plain for nurturing. After a hundred or a thousand years of nurturing, and after being refined by the Tianhun Clan, a powerful refined corpse can be obtained.

These refined corpses are usually sealed in underground corpse pits and jointly supervised by the Earth Barbarian Clan and the Heavenly Soul Clan. This is to prevent the Heavenly Soul Clan from using them against the Earth Barbarian Clan or the Five Elements Spirit Clan, and also to avoid affecting the mentality of the ordinary Earth Barbarian Clan warriors.

After all, not everyone wants their body to be used as a sacrificial offering after death.

But now that the three-race alliance is determined to fight the human race to the death, this massive army of corpse refiners will naturally no longer remain hidden.

With the support of the demon race and the trump card of the Corpse Refining Legion, although the alien alliance still had fewer high-level beings than the human race, they were able to temporarily block the human race's offensive in many places by relying on the strongholds they had established in advance.

Meanwhile, on the White Stone Plateau, a fifth-tier Heavenly Soul Clan member arrived with a large number of corpse refiners and a fifth-tier Demon King to provide assistance.

"The situation is clear now. Since the enemy reinforcements have arrived, there certainly won't be a second wave of reinforcements anytime soon. If we can defeat this current enemy force, we can end this local war in one fell swoop!"

Inside the council hall, after recounting the latest intelligence, Master Xuanjian also brought up the old matter again, mentioning the all-out attack on the alien coalition's camp.

This time, after hearing his words, Zhou Chun did not object anymore.

Not only is the situation as Master Xuanjian said, but the situation has also become clear.

More importantly, the incarnation of the Tai Geng God has also sent a message, inquiring when the war here can end so that they can provide support elsewhere.

Although it was just an interrogation and no time limit was given, no one dared to completely disregard the words of this Nascent Soul Venerable.

Therefore, Master Xuanjian's revisiting of this old matter quickly gained unanimous agreement from everyone.

Soon everyone set off together and left the camp, heading towards the camp that had blocked the alien coalition forces.

Subsequently, the cultivators in the various human strongholds on the White Stone Plateau left their strongholds as ordered and gathered outside the alien allied army camp.

During this period, many alien allied forces scattered outside attacked and harassed the assembled cultivators, disrupting and preventing the army from gathering.

But none of this can change the overall situation; at most, it can only add some minor details to the war.

Almost a day later, a human cultivator army of over 50,000 people assembled outside the alien alliance camp.

It's not that there are only so many human cultivators on the White Stone Plateau, but rather that people need to be left behind to guard various strongholds, and those drawn here can be said to be elites.

Among them, there were nearly 5,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators, accounting for one-tenth of the total, more than 500 Purple Mansion cultivators, and more than 80 Golden Core cultivators.

After gathering together, these people, under the protection of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, formed various battle formations and launched a fierce attack on the alien coalition camp.

The alien allied forces inside were trapped in the camp. Although their numbers were not much less than those of the human forces, they dared not break out and could only intercept and weaken some attacks to a limited extent.

But this time, the human race is clearly serious.

Zhou Chun even summoned the Mountain Lord, whom he had not previously summoned, and ordered him to launch an attack on the alien camp from the ground.

Suddenly, the earth roared and trembled violently. A mountain peak several hundred feet high, located dozens of miles away from the alien camp, suddenly rose from the ground and shot straight into the alien camp.

Some fourth-tier alien beings attempted to intercept them, but all their supernatural powers and magical treasures were dispersed and knocked down by a hazy, gray spiritual light attached to the mountain peak.

Then the mountain crashed into the array's protective barrier, causing the entire barrier to shake violently, and dust from the collapsing rocks filled the sky.

When it comes to direct attacks, the role played by Lord Fushan is unmatched by Lord Yinlong and Lord Fengyuan combined.

Standing on the earth, Lord Fushan possesses tireless physical strength and inexhaustible magical power, just like a cannon that never needs to rest!

Just after using the [Mountain Moving and Mountain Carrying] supernatural power to move a mountain peak to attack, less than ten breaths later, the earth split and mountains were split open again, causing massive damage to the mountains and ley lines surrounding the alien alliance camp, weakening the restorative abilities of the spiritual veins and ley lines within.

If Zhou Chun hadn't been worried that the enemy might be hiding some strange methods that could harm Fushan Jun, he could have simply let Fushan Jun go straight for him, like a battering ram continuously ramming the array's protective barrier. That would have caused the array's protective barrier to be damaged several times over.

Even at its current level, it has already put immense pressure and trouble on the alien alliance within, forcing them to make changes.

Suddenly, figures flashed within the alien camp. Two fifth-tier corpse kings, each over ten feet tall and exuding a deathly aura, rushed out of the camp and charged straight at Lord Fushan.
