Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 751 A Resurgence of Murderous Intent [Please Subscribe]

In the human cultivation world, every major power that can be passed down for thousands of years will plan ahead and consider how to deal with powerful enemies when their power declines in the future.

Powerful forces like the Moon Wheel Cult have left behind the trump card of the [World-Destroying Moon Wheel]. As long as there is one Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect, the sect can be kept safe.

Weaker forces like the Yan Yang Sect, unable to obtain powerful treasures like the Tongtian Lingbao, would turn to other avenues for solutions.

For example, the founder of the Yan Yang Sect had a long-term vision and opened up the underground fire veins, and asked someone to set up a protective array that could connect to the underground fire veins.

Normally, with the help of the mountain-protecting formation, the sect draws earth fire to supply its disciples for refining weapons and pills, and for cultivating secret techniques and supernatural powers.

When faced with a powerful enemy attacking the mountain, it can draw upon the power of the underground fire veins as an energy source to defend the mountain and defeat the enemy.

If the enemy is too powerful and the mountain-protecting formation can no longer hold, then one can self-destruct the core of the mountain-protecting formation, drawing out the earth fire poisonous energy accumulated underground for tens of thousands of years, and perish together with the enemy!

Now that the demon army has surrounded the mountain, the mountain gate is no longer defensible, and Venerable Yuanyang, a Nascent Soul stage Venerable, has personally issued the order.

Even though Master Ziyang and Master Baiyang were extremely unwilling, they had no choice but to make this decision with heavy hearts!

At that time, taking advantage of the fact that the demon king from Feng Kingdom had also joined the attack, Nangong Wuqing led the way, along with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who came to meet them, and led everyone to break through the encirclement.

Meanwhile, Master Ziyang, who had already decided to sacrifice himself for his sect, led some Yanyang Sect disciples who also intended to die for their sect to continue guarding the great formation and luring the demon army to attack.

When several demon kings joined forces with the demon beast army, they finally broke through the mountain-protecting formation and were about to surround and kill Master Ziyang, Master Ziyang directly and recklessly detonated the core of the mountain-protecting formation, and then rushed to the side of a fifth-order black dragon and self-destructed his physical body and nascent soul!

Rumble!

A deafening explosion rose from the gate of the Yan Yang Sect, and the dazzling flames could still be seen from thousands of miles away.

The entire Yan Yang Sect's mountain gate was reduced to ruins in the explosion, and fiery red earth fire poisonous energy still wafted above the ruins. Within a radius of two to three hundred miles, all life had vanished!

The number of demonic beasts that perished as a result was no less than 100,000!

Even two fifth-order demon kings perished and three were severely injured, including the fifth-order low-grade ink dragon king that was dragged along by True Person Ziyang's self-destructed nascent soul!

Such a victory is undeniably substantial.

"Excellent! Fellow Daoist Ziyang is truly a hero of our human race! If all cultivators of our human race possessed Fellow Daoist Ziyang's spirit of sacrifice, what need would we have to worry about the destruction of other races!"

Inside the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, Venerable Yuanyang, who was in charge of the area, smiled and cheered repeatedly after learning about the outcome of the battle against the Flame Sun Sect. He also praised the self-sacrificing True Person Ziyang without reservation.

However, the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall all lowered their heads and remained silent after hearing his words.

No matter how nicely Venerable Yuanyang speaks now, it cannot change the fact that True Man Ziyang has already passed away.

These people had finally succeeded in transforming their core and forming their nascent soul, so naturally none of them wanted to end up like Master Ziyang!

Even some of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators with limited lifespans would absolutely not want to self-destruct their Nascent Souls and risk their lives against the demon kings for anyone.

Perhaps it was to reward Master Ziyang for his achievements, or perhaps it was to make amends for the Yanyang Sect's abandonment of its mountain gate.

After Master Baiyang led some disciples to retreat to the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, Venerable Yuanyang not only personally cured him of the stubborn illness he suffered from the backlash of cultivating the secret technique, but also promised to reward the Flame Sun Sect with a [Nascent Soul Pill] after the battle.

This made Baiyang Zhenren, who was deeply grieving over the death of Ziyang Zhenren, feel somewhat better.

This also lessened the sense of shared sorrow among the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

If their own demise could be exchanged for a [Nascent Soul Pill], some Nascent Soul cultivators with limited lifespans might be willing to risk their lives to continue their sect's legacy!

On the other side, Zhou Chun was also deeply saddened after learning about the battle situation of the Yan Yang Sect.

In a sense, the fall of Master Ziyang and the destruction of the Yanyang Sect's mountain gate also represent the complete end of the previous era of the Jing Kingdom!

First, Qingxiao Zhenren and Qinglian Temple perished, then Yinyue Zhenren died, Yuelun Sect sealed its mountain, and now Yanyang Sect's mountain gate is broken and Ziyang Zhenren has died.

The three original major powers of Yasukuni had all experienced a devastating catastrophe.

All the powerful figures of the previous era have perished!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh softly, "Master Ziyang is quite a man. It seems that letting him go earlier was the right thing to do!"

With his intelligence, he certainly understood how beneficial the Zhou family would be after the Yan Yang Sect's mountain gate was destroyed.

Now, the only defensible places in the entire Jing Kingdom are the Qinglian Mountains and the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate. Therefore, in order to avoid becoming an isolated city and being completely surrounded by the demon army, Venerable Yuanyang will definitely provide strong assistance to the Zhou family.

In this way, the Zhou family might actually have a chance to defend their mountain gate in this war.

Now we'll see what the demon race does next.

Meanwhile, on the demon race's side, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson," who was stationed in the central army, also had a dark expression and his mood immediately soured after receiving the battle situation from the western battlefield.

"A mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has taken the lives of two demon kings, along with the deaths of over 100,000 beast soldiers. How could Aunt Youyu be even more reckless and underestimate her enemy than Uncle Fire Dragon!"

He growled in a low voice, his face contorted with displeasure, his eyes gleaming with malice.

It is obvious that he was very dissatisfied with this result.

Even though he was dissatisfied with the outcome, the thought of having only a handful of capable men under his command made him sigh and say, "Fine! Since things have come to this, I can only have Aunt Youyu retreat and join me!"

He then turned to one of the demon kings in charge of communications and asked, "What's the situation with Uncle Fire Dragon? Is he really not planning to ask for help?"

Upon hearing this, the demon king cautiously replied, "Reporting to Lord Saint Sun, Lord Fire Dragon is still depleting the power of the human cultivators' mountain-protecting formation every day."

"Heh, how long does he intend to exhaust the power of the mountain-protecting formation?"

"Golden Profound Grandson" said with a cold smile, then waved his hand and said, "Send someone to convey my message to him. If he doesn't know how to be dignified, I'll have to help him be dignified!"

Upon hearing this, the demon king's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will convey your message to Lord Fire Dragon immediately."

When the Fire Dragon King received the message from the "Golden Profound Saint Grandson," his face turned pale and then red, and he remained silent for a long time.

After a long silence, he finally waved his hand dismissively and said, "Fine, fine! Even for the sake of Lord Dragon Saint, I'll give in to him!"

Then he personally wrote a letter requesting help and had a fourth-tier demonic bird responsible for delivering the message take it back to "Golden Profound Saint Grandson".

"Hmph, at least he knows what's good for him!"

After reading the Fire Dragon King's plea for help, "Golden Profound Grandson" was finally satisfied. He then arranged for two mid-grade fifth-rank demon kings and three low-grade fifth-rank demon kings to go to the Azure Lotus Mountains to provide support, along with an army of nearly 100,000 demon beasts.

As soon as the demon army made its move, Venerable Yuanyang, who had been observing the situation, quickly arranged for reinforcements to be sent to the Zhou family.

Immediately, led by Nangong Wuqing, along with four other early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, the group of five also went to the Zhou family to provide reinforcements.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you've finally arrived! I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival day and night!!"

On Qinglian Peak, after personally welcoming Nangong Wuqing and the others back to their positions, Zhou Chun expressed his heartfelt welcome with a look of emotion.

He was not exaggerating at all. From the very first day of the battle, he had been longing for reinforcements to arrive every day, and now his wish had finally come true.

Faced with Zhou Chun's warm welcome, Nangong Wuqing chuckled and said, "Hehehe, I am very happy to be able to fight alongside Fellow Daoist Zhou again."

He and Zhou Chun fought side by side when Heng Kingdom faced the alien race of Tianman Plain, and he sincerely admired Zhou Chun's abilities. This time, he took the initiative to apply to come and provide reinforcements.

In any case, it made no difference to him whether he was in the Moon Wheel Sect or the Green Lotus Mountain Range, so he was more willing to do Zhou Chun a favor.

Zhou Chun understood immediately and sent a private message to express his gratitude.

Less than half an hour after Nangong Wuqing and his group entered Qinglian Peak, the demon king who had come to support them from the demon race also arrived.

However, the Fire Dragon King learned his lesson this time and did not rush to attack. Instead, he patiently waited for the demon army behind him to arrive.

Three more days passed, and after the reinforcements of the demon beast army had arrived and rested, the Fire Dragon King launched another fierce attack.

In the sky and on the ground, one after another fifth-order demon kings revealed their enormous true forms, spewing out beams and spheres of light of various colors from their mouths, which bombarded the protective barrier formed by the [Heavenly Azure Dragon Formation].

Inside the great formation, Zhou Chun and other Nascent Soul stage cultivators activated their magic weapons or supernatural abilities to intercept and block the attacks one-on-one.

Occasionally, some attacks that cannot be intercepted in time will land on the array's protective shield and immediately exert great pressure on it.

However, they do not simply take the hits without fighting back. They will also suddenly attack a demon king's main body while intercepting the opponent's attack, or even focus their attacks on a demon king.

Therefore, apart from a few demon kings like the Fire Dragon King who are confident in their own defense, most demon kings do not dare to go all out when attacking, lest they be caught off guard and unable to defend themselves.

In this way, although there are many demon kings outside, it is impossible for them to easily break through the great formation.

However, with the addition of nearly 100,000 other demon beasts, the pressure on the formation is still immense. If this continues, the formation will likely be unable to sustain itself.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, we must find a way to go out and kill one or two demon kings, or wipe out tens of thousands of demon beasts, otherwise we can't hold out for more than a few days."

After observing the situation of the formation and finding that it was not good, Zhou Chun solemnly transmitted his thoughts to Nangong Wuqing.

When one cannot strengthen their own defenses, weakening the opponent's attack power is undoubtedly the only option.

He had always done this before.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is right, but you've already done this several times before. The Fire Dragon King outside is definitely on guard. It won't be so easy to replicate your previous success!"

Nangong Wuqing first nodded, agreeing with Zhou Chun's idea, and then solemnly expressed his own concerns.

A few days ago, Zhou Chun also told them about the previous war, so Nangong Wuqing knew that Zhou Chun had already used most of his methods before, and some of them were no longer effective.

So what he was expressing at that moment was actually somewhat subtle.

Upon hearing his reply, Zhou Chun glanced at his left arm, then said firmly, "Fellow Daoist Nangong, please rest assured. As long as you can hold off the Fire Dragon King for a while, I, Zhou, will find a way to achieve victory!"

These confident words surprised Nangong Wuqing.

He also knew Zhou Chun's personality to some extent, knowing that Zhou Chun was not a boastful person, but rather a very humble and cautious person.

Therefore, Zhou Chun's confident and firm words at this moment quickly led him to make a choice.

He immediately replied, "Alright then, I'll handle the Fire Dragon King. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please feel free to do as you please!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Nangong."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he began to contact and communicate with other Nascent Soul stage cultivators again.

After some communication and coordination, Zhou Chun finally finalized a concrete plan.

According to the plan, not only will these Nascent Soul stage cultivators go into battle this time, but some Golden Core stage cultivators will also escort Wu Yuzhu into battle to deal with the demon beast army.

The timing of their deployment was chosen when low- to mid-level demonic beasts were taking a break due to excessive mana consumption.

At that moment, Nangong Wuqing, Zhou Chun, and nine other Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly attacked together, each finding their pre-selected opponents. Zhou Chun also released several demon king spirit pets, allowing them to choose their opponents one-on-one.

He himself faced his old rival, the mid-grade fifth-tier Bloodflame Flood Dragon.

This Bloodflame Flood Dragon King had fought him alone before and was very familiar with his methods, and of course, he was also very familiar with the other party's methods.

Because of familiarity, the other party is relatively less vigilant, making it easier for him to find an opportunity to suddenly strike!

In the sky, Zhou Chun transformed into the Taiyin Moon Toad, his natal magic weapon, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, transforming into a golden shield that circled around him. He immediately unleashed his full power.

The Bloodflame Flood Dragon King was quite familiar with his methods and remained calm in dealing with them.

Crimson flames rose from his body, swirling around him like fiery clouds. Whenever white ice light pierced through the air, it would automatically gather into a fiery shield to block it.

After blocking the white giant toad's most threatening attack, he would quickly retaliate, unleashing a sharp blood-flame blade from his dragon horns towards the white giant toad.

At the same time, he also refined a dragon bone spear, which had reached the level of a top-grade magic weapon. Every attack he made could knock away the golden shield formed by Zhou Chun's natal magic weapon.

The toad and the dragon fought fiercely in the air, neither able to gain the upper hand.
