Shiroishi Plateau.

While Zhou Chun was meditating and recovering, he received a message from Xuanjian Zhenren regarding the incarnation of Taigeng Shenzun.

As expected, after learning of the great victory at White Stone Plateau, the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable not only rewarded them but also assigned them another task.

The new mission was to split them into two groups, one leading the main force out of the White Stone Plateau to cooperate with the nearby war zone in sweeping away the scattered alien troops.

The other group, consisting of eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators, set off lightly to support the main battlefield where the fighting was currently intense.

It is obvious that the cultivators who came to support the White Stone Plateau, including Zhou Chun, could not have been the ones who carried out the mission in the first part.

Fortunately, the avatar of the Tai Geng God knew that they had just finished a fierce battle and needed time to recover and recuperate, so he did not let them set off immediately, but gave them three days to rest.

After reading the message from Master Xuanjian, Zhou Chun resumed his meditation to recover.

After meditating and resting for two days to recover the mana and spirit he had consumed in the previous battle, and seeing that there was still some time before departure, he began to take stock of the gains from the previous battle.

The fifth-tier alien races he killed, except for the Heavenly Soul Clan powerhouse who self-destructed, all left behind their storage artifacts and their own magical treasures.

Although the alien warriors didn't bring any valuable items they didn't need because they were on the battlefield, they had already collected quite a few treasures when they invaded human territory.

Therefore, Zhou Chun's gains after opening their storage artifacts were quite substantial.

Regarding magical artifacts, the three barbarian kings left Zhou Chun three large weapons made from rare spirit gold ore. Human cultivators certainly couldn't use these large weapons; they could only melt them down and extract some of the reusable spirit gold (which could be considered as the corpse king with the weapon).

Considering the size of the three weapons, the harvest will certainly not be small.

The Earth Spirit King left behind a stone seal magic weapon.

Although this treasure was damaged in the collision with the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], it does not affect its use and is itself equivalent to a top-grade magic treasure.

Zhou Chun simply tossed the treasure to Lord Fushan, letting him decide how to use it.

Later, while checking the contents of those storage artifacts, Zhou Chun's expression gradually improved.

When the alien races invaded the human race, they destroyed countless mountains and families along the way, taking away the accumulated wealth of countless immortal cultivation families and sects over thousands of years. Naturally, the vast majority of the most precious items ended up in the hands of those fifth-tier alien races.

Therefore, anything that can appear in the storage artifacts of a fifth-tier alien powerhouse is a precious item.

Millennia-old medicinal herbs are generally rare, except for certain particularly rare and precious varieties.

Zhou Chun counted twenty-seven medicinal herbs that were over three thousand years old, including four rare medicinal herbs that were over five thousand years old.

At the same time, there are as many as twenty or thirty kinds of rare and precious spirit gold ores and spirit wood materials.

Furthermore, there are fifteen magical treasures inside, including four high-grade magical treasures and eleven mid-grade magical treasures!

Furthermore, inside the storage artifact of the Earth Spirit Clan's Spirit King, Zhou Chun also discovered a large quantity of high-quality earth-attribute spirit ore, as well as many array artifacts needed for the alien races to set up arrays, and even ancient books containing knowledge of alien race arrays.

Meanwhile, his storage artifact also contained three fourth-order spirit beads, it was unknown whether they were stockpiled from within the clan or collected from the body of the Earth Spirit Clan spirit general who perished in this expedition.

As for the other items plundered from the human race, such as pills, formations, and books, there were quite a lot of them, and Zhou Chun didn't have time to take stock of them all at once.

He only separated and packed the medicinal herbs separately, while the rest of the items were first piled into a storage bag containing miscellaneous items, to be slowly counted later when he had time.

After dealing with the spoils, Zhou Chun left the cultivation room and went to see the Sword-Suspended Immortal.

"It's a pity I have to lead the army to complete the mission of sweeping away the alien races, otherwise I really would like to fight alongside Fellow Daoist Zhou one more time and continue to kill enemies together!"

Inside the main hall, after meeting with Zhou Chun, who had come to visit, Master Xuanjian sighed with regret.

He enjoys extremely high prestige among the current army on the White Stone Plateau and is the only candidate to continue leading this human army. Naturally, the incarnation of the God Tai Geng named him to complete the sweeping mission.

For him, the mission was indeed not very dangerous, and from the perspective of survival, it was a very good arrangement.

However, on the other hand, this task also deprived him of the opportunity to make a great contribution.

Whether it's good or bad is hard to say.

Zhou Chun didn't care whether Xuanjian Zhenren was genuinely regretful or just being polite. He smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjian bears a heavy responsibility. The lives and safety of 100,000 fellow Daoists on the White Stone Plateau all depend on you. Senior Taigeng Divine Venerable entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility precisely because he trusts you."

At this point, he added with a hint of self-deprecation, "As for me, Zhou, I'm nothing but a brave man with brute strength; I'm far more suited to fighting on the front lines!"

Upon hearing his words, Master Xuanjian frowned imperceptibly, then looked at him solemnly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please do not underestimate yourself. We cultivators ultimately judge each other by our cultivation strength. With your combat power comparable to that of a Grand Master, you can greatly change the outcome of the battlefield wherever you go!"

At this point, he said resolutely, "I believe it is precisely because of Fellow Daoist Zhou's formidable strength that Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable has entrusted you with leading the team to support the main battlefield. We look forward to your participation, Fellow Daoist Zhou, in completely altering the course of the battle and decisively defeating the alien coalition!"

"Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, you flatter me. I know my own limitations. I dare not take on such a heavy responsibility that could change the course of the battle. I only hope to survive on such a dangerous battlefield."

Zhou Chun chuckled and shook his head slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, showing no interest in the flattery from the Sword Master.

He had only complained slightly, but Master Xuanjian's flattering words were meant to kill him with praise. Regardless of whether he thought so or not, he could not agree with them.

Perhaps realizing his words were somewhat inappropriate, Master Xuanjian quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Regardless, Fellow Daoist Zhou, I truly admire your strength. I hope to hear more of your glorious deeds on the battlefield in the future!"

"I hope my words of good fortune will be true, and I wish Fellow Daoist Xuanjian every success and victory in every battle!"

Zhou Chun gave a polite reply and then ended the conversation.

Not long after, Zhou Chun and the other seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators left the camp and headed straight for the main battlefield of the war between the two races.

The main battlefield of the war between the two races has now shifted to the Yunling Mountains in the southern part of Heng Kingdom, which was originally the location of the Zhongding Sect, a major sect in Heng Kingdom.

Unfortunately, of the Zhongding Sect today, only one Grand Elder who had recently possessed a body and was in the early Nascent Soul stage, and several Golden Core Elders who were traveling outside, are still alive.

After occupying the Yunling Mountains, the alien races of Tianman Plain also took advantage of the unique terrain to set up a series of interconnected formations, turning the area into a heavily fortified stronghold.

Most of the alien races that were defeated and retreated at the front have now withdrawn to the Yunling Mountains, relying on the fortified strongholds there to fight against the human army.

Before Zhou Chun and his group arrived, the human race already had more than thirty Nascent Soul stage cultivators on this main battlefield, and the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable was personally overseeing the battle.

Among the alien allied forces on the other side, the number of fifth-tier beings was in no way inferior to that of the human race, and the million-strong beast tide army that had come south from Tianman Plain had also arrived to lend its support.

In terms of low- to mid-level combat power, the human race does not have any advantage; in fact, it is at a disadvantage.

When Zhou Chun arrived at the scene with his men, he witnessed a great battle between the two races.

Amidst the rolling mountains, groups of human cultivators, some in small groups and others in teams of hundreds, advanced steadily from the human territory towards the alien territory.

In the mountains they passed through, groups of other races would frequently emerge to attack and intercept them.

Meanwhile, the fourth and fifth-tier beings on both sides were fighting each other in relatively distant areas. The roaring sounds and spiritual light generated by the collision of various magical treasures and supernatural powers could be heard even thousands of miles away.

Judging from the number of Tier 5 beings deployed by both sides, it is clear that both sides are holding back and have not yet mobilized their full forces.

When Zhou Chun and the other eight Nascent Soul cultivators arrived near the battlefield without any concealment, the alien alliance immediately became alert. Several more fifth-tier beings appeared and looked at them warily.

"This junior, Zhou Zhengchun, has come to provide assistance by imperial decree. I humbly request guidance from the Venerable Tai Geng."

Zhou Chun transformed into a golden light and arrived before the avatar of the Tai Geng God, then respectfully made his request.

The seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators who followed him also followed suit.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you've come at the right time. Today's battle with the enemy is still undecided, so please come out and test the enemy's situation again!"

After the avatar of the Tai Geng God lingered on Zhou Chun for a moment, he nodded slightly and issued the order to go into battle without any politeness, completely disregarding the fact that they had come from afar.

However, no one, including Zhou Chun, dared to show any dissatisfaction. They all responded in unison, "Yes, juniors obey."

Then the eight of them turned around and flew straight towards the high sky above the territory controlled by the alien coalition.

Upon seeing this, eight fifth-tier alien beings quickly approached them.

It is worth mentioning that the alien race that was fighting against Zhou Chun was actually a mid-grade fifth-order demon king wearing golden armor!

The golden armor worn by this demon king was quite unique, with a huge golden disc embedded in its back.

Upon closer inspection, the golden disc was actually composed of individual golden throwing knives.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, be careful! This beast's true form is the Thousand-Legged Golden Centipede, and it has somehow learned powerful sword control techniques and sword-forging secrets. It has refined its shed sword-like legs into hundreds of throwing knives. A fellow Daoist, unaware of its true nature, perished at its hands!"

Just as Zhou Chun was wondering what kind of monster the golden-armored demon king was, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Nangong Wuqing, the Purple Dragon True Man, had also arrived here and was now watching the battle not far from the incarnation of Tai Geng God Venerable.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Nangong. I will be more careful."

Zhou Chun quickly thanked him, and then, without delay, patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released Silver Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord.

The moment the Silver Dragon and Colorful Phoenix appeared, they were immediately drawn to the attention of high-ranking beings from both the alien race and the human race.

The Golden Centipede Demon King opposite him also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Perhaps, in the context of the great war between the two races, neither a single fifth-order dragon nor a single fifth-order fire phoenix would be considered particularly unusual.

However, it is still very rare and unusual if both are the same person's spirit pets.

However, after a moment of surprise, the Golden Centipede Demon King spoke coldly, "It is truly a tragedy that the Dragon and Phoenix clans have produced two traitors like you. Today, I, the king, will rid them of these two disgraceful traitors!"

Before he finished speaking, he made a hand seal, and the golden disc behind him immediately rose into the air and quickly split into flying knives.

As he activated his sword technique, the flying knives immediately transformed into streaks of golden light and shot towards Zhou Chun and his two servants.

Seeing this, the three servants immediately used their respective skills to counter the opponent's attack.

Zhou Chun raised his hand and summoned the Moon Toad Pearl, which radiated a moon-white spiritual light and condensed into a protective immortal robe on his body.

Immediately, he spat out his natal magic weapon, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, which emitted a surge of golden light, transforming into a golden protective shield that enveloped him.

At the same time, his magical power surged, and he immediately activated the [Golden Cauldron Domain] divine power, creating a golden domain in the air to suppress the void.

After the golden rays fell into the Golden Light Domain, they were first interfered with and imprisoned by the power of the domain, and their speed was greatly reduced.

But then the flying knife burst forth with light, instantly breaking free from the restraints of the magic domain power and striking the golden light shield surrounding Zhou Chun.

One cut, two cuts, three cuts...

The once impregnable golden shield quickly became riddled with cracks under the continuous slashes of the flying knives, and then shattered completely with a "bang".

Then, one after another, the unobstructed flying knives struck Zhou Chun's protective immortal robe, causing it to tremble and sway precariously.

This scene made Zhou Chun's eyes narrow, and he immediately raised his level of attention to the Golden Centipede Demon King.

With a thought, he unleashed the [Qiongqi Enters Dreams] supernatural power.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a dense golden divine light, which, like a swimming fish, crashed into the golden flying knives.

This golden divine light was about a foot long and seemed inconspicuous, but any golden flying knife that collided with it would either break on the spot or fall to the ground with a mournful cry, riddled with cracks.

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen throwing knives were destroyed by it.

This scene greatly surprised even the Golden Centipede Demon King.

It should be noted that these throwing knives were all forged from the shed blades of his original body. Each one is comparable to the highest grade magic weapon flying sword in terms of hardness, and will not easily break even when it collides with a top-grade magic weapon flying sword.

Moreover, these throwing knives have another wonderful feature: even if they break or shatter, they can be repaired by his own magic power, so they are not afraid of being damaged at all.

However, even if it can be repaired after being broken and shattered, that would only be possible after the battle is over.

Therefore, if too many throwing knives are lost in battle, it will greatly reduce his strength.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Chun's sharp supernatural abilities, the Golden Centipede Demon King immediately changed his tactics.

With a quick hand seal, the throwing knives that were attacking Zhou Chun instantly merged into one, leaving only twenty-four throwing knives at his side.

Then, the twenty-four throwing knives unleashed another burst of light, fiercely slashing towards Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun continued to urge the golden divine light to collide with the flying knives. As a result, the golden divine light, which could easily cut and shatter the flying knives before, could only knock the flying knives down from the sky, causing cracks to appear on them.

After the three were combined, the sturdiness of these throwing knives actually reached a new level, making them comparable to top-grade magic weapon flying swords!

Upon discovering this, Zhou Chun immediately abandoned any further probing and released Fushan Jun without hesitation.

As soon as the mountain-sized Lord Fushan appeared in the sky, it immediately attracted countless gazes.

After he appeared, a hazy gray aura immediately appeared around his body.

The golden throwing knives that were originally chasing Zhou Chunfei and slashing at him immediately fell to the ground like drunken birds after coming into contact with the hazy spiritual light.

Fortunately, these were treasures forged from the shed limbs of their own bodies, essentially their own limbs, which allowed the Golden Centipede Demon King to control them in time to fly back to his side, thus avoiding a major embarrassment.

Nevertheless, his eyes darkened instantly upon seeing the hazy, gray aura surrounding Lord Fushan.

The [Primordial Magnetic Divine Light] is a great supernatural power that a fifth-order demon king with little knowledge might not recognize, but that doesn't include him.

As the [Thousand-Legged Golden Centipede], among the things he hates and fears the most, [Primordial Magnetic Divine Light] is definitely in the top three.

Faced with such supernatural power, most of his skills would be rendered useless, and he would be unable to unleash his true strength!

Therefore, when Lord Fushan revealed the great supernatural power of [Primordial Magnetic Divine Light], the Golden Centipede Demon King knew that he had to leave the scene prematurely.

"Human cultivator, I will remember you!"

He gave Zhou Chun and Fu Shan Jun a deep, gloomy look, then immediately waved his hand to retrieve the flying knife that was still attacking Yin Long Jun and Feng Yuan Jun. After leaving behind this sentence, he turned into a golden light and retreated back into the alien camp.

"It runs pretty fast. Looks like this demon is quite clever. That's not a good thing!"

Zhou Chun glanced at the Golden Centipede Demon King, who had retreated on his own initiative, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He originally intended to use Lord Fushan to teach this Golden Centipede Demon King a lesson, to show him what it means to be outmatched.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was alert and calm. As soon as he realized that his supernatural powers were being completely suppressed by Lord Fushan, he immediately took the initiative to retreat.

This made him look at the Golden Centipede Demon King with even greater respect.

As the Golden Centipede Demon King departed, a mid-grade fifth-tier Fire Spirit Clan Spirit King soon rode a fiery cloud toward Zhou Chun's battlefield. Clearly, the alien alliance had made new arrangements based on the situation on the ground.

After the Fire Spirit Clan Spirit King arrived, he didn't say much. He immediately activated his divine power, condensing golden-red fire crows that flew towards Master Zhou Chun.

Look at those fire crows flying all over the sky, there must be no less than ten thousand of them!

Faced with this situation, Feng Yuanjun also let out a clear cry without hesitation, flapping its wings and swooping down towards the flock of crows.

Boom boom boom!

Seemingly aware of the power of the Fire Phoenix Clan, as soon as Feng Yuanjun entered the flock of fire crows, the crows began to explode one by one, attempting to injure their target.

However, the fire resistance of the Eight-Feathered Fire Phoenix clearly exceeded the expectations of that Fire Spirit Clan Spirit King.

Feng Yuanjun stirred up trouble among the crows, remaining unharmed despite the raging sea of ​​fire, and even seemed to enjoy it, letting out cheers.

Silver Dragon Lord, seemingly unwilling to let Phoenix Lord and Mountain Lord steal the limelight, roared and soared into the sky, spewing out silver lightning balls that blasted towards the Fire Spirit Clan's Spirit King in the fiery clouds.

However, since this Fire Spirit Clan Spirit King dared to replace the Golden Centipede Demon King to fight Zhou Chun, he must have some skills.

Faced with the incoming silver lightning ball, the fire cloud he was in suddenly surged and transformed into a giant fire beast hundreds of feet long.

The silver lightning balls exploded on the fire behemoth, leaving its body riddled with holes, but they did not actually cause any damage to the Fire Spirit King's true form.

As the fiery behemoth opened its mouth, an incomparably scorching crimson beam of light shot towards Zhou Chun on the back of Lord Fushan.

But then Zhou Chun's figure flashed and he suddenly disappeared into Fu Shan Jun's body.

Then, a crimson beam of light exploded on Fushanjun's body.

However, this blow, which was enough to severely injure an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, could not even break through the defense of Lord Fushan. It only left a charred mark on the thick tortoise shell, like a wall that had been burned.

At this moment, Zhou Chun reappeared, and ice light burst forth from the white pearl above his head. A "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" instantly pierced the sky and shot straight at the fiery beast.

The icy light fell upon the giant beast, and the extreme power of ice and fire clashed, instantly destroying a large portion of the fiery beast's body.

Immediately afterwards, another silver lightning sword slashed through the air and pierced into the body of the fire beast, instantly erupting with dazzling lightning.

Under the combined attacks of Zhou Chun and his servant, the giant fire beast was quickly shattered, forcing the Fire Spirit King to reveal his true form.

"Your Excellency is indeed highly skilled; no wonder even Wu Zhen perished at your hands!"

The Fire Spirit King, now in his true form, gazed solemnly at Master Zhou Chun, his tone unusually heavy.

Judging from his words, he was clearly aware of what had happened on the White Stone Plateau.

"The spirit pearl of the Five Elements Spirit Clan is indeed a very interesting treasure. I wonder if, if I were to obtain your spirit pearl, I could refine a spirit treasure for my spirit pet!"

Zhou Chun looked at the Fire Spirit Clan Spirit King with a cold expression, his words full of mockery.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the Fire Spirit King's eyes blazed with fury, and he roared as he launched another attack on him.
