Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 754 Unyielding Self-Improvement [Long Chapter, Please Subscribe]

"Has it finally started?"

On Qinglian Peak, Zhou Chun looked at the message sent by the intelligence personnel, and his expression became complicated.

The lack of response to their plea for help was certainly disappointing, but the fact that the war had broken out at the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate was ultimately not a bad thing for them.

Regardless of the outcome, at least the main force of the demon race will not send anyone to support them here.

In this way, they don't need to worry about the formation being broken in the short term.

However, without reinforcements, the current predicament remains unresolved.

Without external assistance, the only way out of this predicament is for these people in distress to find their own solutions.

Zhou Chun has now exhausted all his tricks; apart from the Golden-Winged Tiger Tribulation card, he has no other trump cards left to play.

Therefore, what he can hope for now is that the Golden-Winged Tiger can successfully transcend the tribulation before the formation breaks and awaken a trump card that can break the deadlock.

Another point is that among the current Nascent Soul stage cultivators, some may have trump cards or techniques that are enough to break the deadlock.

Leaving the former aside for now, Zhou Chun felt that he might need to do some ideological work with the latter.

As the saying goes, cultivators who can reach the Nascent Soul stage and remain at that level for hundreds or thousands of years will all have a few trump cards up their sleeves.

Nowadays, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Azure Lotus Mountains are at the early Nascent Soul stage, but many of them are sect patriarchs who lead their own sects, and they may have some trump cards left behind by their sect's founders.

It's just that these people won't reveal their trump cards until a life-or-death situation arises.

If we can persuade them to reveal their trump cards to help break the deadlock, we can undoubtedly solve this urgent problem.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun immediately began to take stock of all the treasures he possessed, to see which ones he could use to compensate those who were willing to reveal their trump cards.

You have to give up something to gain something; it's a very simple principle.

If he wants others to willingly reveal their trump cards to protect their lives and help his Zhou family guard their mountain gate, he must offer them sufficiently tempting benefits.

If there's no benefit to them, they won't care what the consequences of losing Qinglian Peak are. They might even be hoping for a quick fall so they can retreat to the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, which has a much stronger defense!

Undoubtedly, Zhou Chun's personal collection is so rich that it is absolutely no less than that of some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and may even be said to surpass them.

Whether it's a spiritual pill like the [Infant Transformation Pill], or materials like fifth-order dragon demon cores and dragon horns, or spirit pearls from the fifth-order Earth Spirit Clan, or even readily available top-grade magic treasures, he has them all in hand.

However, he would definitely not do it unless absolutely necessary, unless someone could guarantee to kill a mid-level fifth-tier demon king for him!

So after removing the most precious treasures, Zhou Chun made a list of the remaining items that could be exchanged, and then communicated with each of the Nascent Soul cultivators privately via telepathy.

This kind of one-on-one private communication, although time-consuming and laborious, is undoubtedly beneficial to both parties.

After a long day of one-on-one communication, Zhou Chun did not come away empty-handed.

He successfully persuaded two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Each of them possessed a gourd-shaped treasure containing a stream of malevolent energy condensed from the earth's lung poison over hundreds of years. This energy was particularly adept at purifying the physical body, and even a fifth-tier demon king would suffer severe damage and essentially lose all fighting power if it came into contact with it.

The other one possesses a fire talisman passed down from the patriarch, which seals within a "Qianyang True Fire" that the patriarch had mastered, possessing the same power to threaten the life of a fifth-order low-grade demon king!

Zhou Chun used the dragon horns left behind by the two-headed black dragon, along with thirty drops of Feng Yuanjun's life essence blood, to persuade these two to use their trump cards.

However, this was merely an action; the two did not guarantee that they could kill or even severely injure a fifth-tier demon king.

After all, they didn't know whether the demon king they had chosen also had some powerful trump card hidden in his hand.

In fact, they are definitely not the only ones who possess such powerful trump cards.

However, the others either had grand ambitions and were dissatisfied with what Zhou Chun had brought out, or they were completely unmoved by external things and only wanted to keep their trump cards to save their lives.

Zhou Chun could not force him to do so.

Just then, news arrived from the Moon Wheel Cult about the results of their first confrontation.

Tai Geng, the divine lord, continued to display his divine might, maintaining the upper hand in the battle against "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" and finally curbing the opponent's arrogance.

However, the battle record of the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, including Master Xuanzhen, was not very promising.

Apart from Xuanzhen Zhenren, who was able to maintain a stalemate against the Moyuan Giant Python, the Black Dragon Girl and the Ice and Fire Demon Ape both gained the upper hand.

Even the great cultivator who fought the Ice-Fire Demon Ape was injured by it.

After such a fierce battle, the fifth-tier high-level experts on both sides went back to recover and rest, but the offensive and defensive battle showed no signs of stopping and continued unabated.

Given the formidable defensive capabilities of the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate formation, this battle of attack and defense is likely to continue for a long time if neither side can achieve a breakthrough victory in top-tier combat power.

"I didn't expect that Senior Tai Geng Divine Lord would also send an avatar to assist in the battle. This should be a good thing for me!"

After reading the battle report, Zhou Chun's face showed a slight hint of joy.

Although it all seemed to be just his preconceived notions, Venerable Yuanyang's attitude towards him was indeed not very good.

Logically speaking, given his outstanding performance under Tai Geng Divine Venerable, he should have received more attention and care, even if it was just to set an example for other Nascent Soul cultivators.

But he clearly didn't enjoy that.

Therefore, the arrival of the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Lord undoubtedly made him quite happy.

In this way, if something really happens, he can still seek help from the incarnation of the God Tai Geng.

Of course, it's better to rely on yourself than on others, and it's obviously more convincing to ask for help when you have a proven track record than to ask for help when you have nothing to show for it.

Therefore, after his initial joy, Zhou Chun quickly began to devise a counterattack plan.

He wanted to strike again, hoping to kill another demon king or severely injure one or two demon kings, temporarily rendering them unable to fight.

No one objected to his plan.

Given the current situation, it's impossible to drag things out indefinitely by relying on the mountain-protecting formation.

Currently, the gap in high-end strength between the two sides is not particularly significant. The strongest Fire Dragon King and the fifth-order mid-grade demon king are being restrained by Nangong Wuqing and Zhou Chun, so they have no convincing reason to refuse to fight.

Therefore, Zhou Chun easily persuaded them all to launch a counterattack once again.

This time, without the Bloodflame Flood Dragon King, Zhou Chun faced another mid-grade fifth-rank Black Flood Dragon King, while Fushan Jun faced the remaining mid-grade fifth-rank Demon King, whose true form was a giant crocodile, over a hundred feet long!

Perhaps it was the lingering power of Zhou Chun's previous slaying of the Bloodflame Flood Dragon King that made the mid-grade fifth-rank black flood dragon king somewhat hesitant and afraid to attack too forcefully when fighting him, instead focusing more on protecting itself.

This discovery stirred something within Zhou Chun, who became even bolder and more unrestrained in his aggressive stance, seemingly emboldened by his newfound confidence.

As a result, the Black Dragon King on the other side became noticeably more nervous. Zhou Chun could even sense that the demon kings in the nearby battlefields were intentionally keeping their distance from him, as if they were afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Unfortunately, he was just putting on an act. In his current state, it was impossible for him to defeat the Black Dragon King in a one-on-one fight.

The real killer move was the two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who had agreed to his request.

In order to achieve a fatal blow, the two chose demon kings as their opponents, opponents whose trump cards were suitable for them.

Because the enemy outnumbered them, Silver Dragon Lord and Mu Sang even managed to hold off two demon kings each!

Yes, Mu Sang also managed to hold off the two demon kings!

His direct combat ability is indeed somewhat lacking, but his methods are not weak.

After advancing to the fifth-tier demon king, the [Myriad Manifestations of the Universe] divine power that he awakened and mastered could trap even human Nascent Soul stage cultivators for a while. Those demon kings who were not strong in the realm of divine soul would find it even more difficult to break free from the illusion.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun's second nascent soul was also providing support from afar, helping to restrain his opponent.

There is still one fifth-tier demon king left without an opponent, but the other cultivators are wary of his attacks. He can't do anything for a while; at most, he can only cause trouble everywhere.

After taking a moment to observe the various battlefields, Zhou Chun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Despite the urgency, he did not press the two Nascent Soul cultivators who had agreed to his request, but instead trusted them completely and let them find their own opportunity to act.

Time passed slowly, and soon half an hour had gone by.

Although this period of time may not seem long, compared to the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who fight each other very frequently, this period of time is enough for them to exchange dozens of blows.

Due to their numerical disadvantage, the human side faced several dangerous situations on the battlefield, and Musang could no longer hold off his two opponents.

Under these circumstances, Zhou Chun also received urging from several Nascent Soul stage cultivators to use their methods quickly.

Although he readily agreed, out of trust, he did not urge the two. Instead, he had his second Nascent Soul avatar take a moment to harass their opponents, creating an opportunity for them.

This complete trust finally paid off half an hour later!

The cultivator who possessed the secret treasure gourd made the first move. He suddenly shook the gourd, and a stream of dark brown earth-poisonous energy poured out, transforming into an earth-poisonous snake that coiled around the demon king's true form.

This demon king's true form is a water-attribute sword dragon fish, and its physical body is actually quite strong.

However, after being entangled by the earth-elemental venomous snake, the earth-elemental poisonous energy immediately corroded his dragon scales and entered his body through his mouth, nose, and other parts, causing him to scream in agony as he quickly fell to a river on the ground.

But how easy is it to wash away the poisonous and malevolent energy in the lungs!

The river, which was no more than a hundred feet wide, turned black after he fell in, its waters becoming polluted by the poisonous aura of the earth's lungs. All the fish, shrimp, and other aquatic creatures in the river were poisoned to death on the spot.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who released this toxic aura of the earth's lungs would certainly not miss such an excellent opportunity.

He immediately activated another top-grade magic weapon, a giant ruler, and struck the demon with it.

Because it had to resist the corrosive energy of the earth's lungs, the swordfish was powerless to dodge the blow and its head was instantly split into several pieces, nearly killing it.

Upon seeing this, a low-grade fifth-order Crimson Fire Dragon on the nearby battlefield roared and spat out a fiery red beam of light towards the Nascent Soul cultivator, attempting to save the Sword Dragon Fish.

However, the Nascent Soul cultivator desired the Sword Dragon Fish's demon core even more. He immediately activated his earth-yellow protective cauldron magic weapon to meet the fiery red pillar of light, while simultaneously activating his giant ruler magic weapon to strike the Sword Dragon Fish Demon King once more!

At the critical moment of life and death, the Stegosaurus Demon King seemed to understand that he had to make a choice. Immediately, his demon soul and primordial spirit merged into his demon core, and he spat out his own demon core to meet the giant magic weapon.

With a deafening roar, the giant magic weapon was ultimately no match for the power of a fifth-tier demon core and was blasted away head-on.

However, the fifth-tier demon core also instantly developed numerous cracks in this head-on collision, and then immediately sank into the polluted river water, disappearing without a trace.

Pity!

Seeing this scene, not only was the Nascent Soul cultivator who had failed at the last moment extremely unwilling and heartbroken, but Zhou Chun and the other Nascent Soul cultivators also secretly sighed with regret.

Given the current battlefield conditions, it was clear that the Nascent Soul stage cultivator would not have the time or opportunity to pursue the escaped demon core.

Indeed, a fifth-tier demon king who had previously been without an opponent quickly stepped forward and blocked the Nascent Soul cultivator.

But just as the demon kings were focused on this, another Nascent Soul cultivator who possessed the "Qianyang True Fire" talisman also immediately summoned this fire talisman left behind by the sect's founder.

A ball of golden flame rose in the sky, radiating boundless light and heat like a golden sun.

Then, with a cry, the ball of golden flame transformed into a three-legged fire crow, carrying a wave of heat as it rushed towards a giant blue catfish demon king.

Faced with the surging three-legged fire crow, the giant catfish demon king hurriedly spat out a deep blue water column to meet it.

However, he clearly underestimated the power of the "Qianyang True Fire" cultivated by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to the Great Perfection stage.

The seemingly endless stream of deep blue water was evaporated and destroyed by the intense heat emanating from the three-legged fire crow before it even touched its true form.

By the time the giant catfish demon king realized something was wrong, it was too late to create distance and dodge.

Fortunately, he was decisive. Realizing he couldn't avoid the attack, he immediately spat out his demon core.

Compared to colliding with the physical bodies of magical artifacts like flying swords, demon cores actually have an advantage in dealing with such supernatural attacks, as they are less likely to break.

But this seems to be a trap!

Rumble!

A violent explosion rang out from the sky, and a blazing wave of intense heat engulfed the surrounding space for dozens of miles. The temperature at the center was even higher than that of the underground magma sea.

Before the towering flames from the explosion had even dissipated, the catfish demon king, its body tattered and mangled, flew out and fled without looking back to a nearby battlefield.

Immediately, a streak of fire shot out from behind him, striking his back and igniting a large patch of crimson flames.

He, a dignified fifth-tier demon king, seemed to have no power left to extinguish the flames on his back. He screamed in agony as he continued to flee to another demon king nearby, pleading for help.

The demon king, of course, would not stand idly by and watch him die. He immediately protected him and retreated. Then, another demon king who was fighting with the Silver Dragon King also rushed over to help. In the end, they managed to save the demon by a narrow margin.

However, after severely injuring two fifth-tier demon kings in succession, the demon race's numerical advantage almost disappeared. Zhou Chun's second nascent soul avatar directly led Wu Yuzhu and other Golden Core cultivators to charge out, intending to recreate the scene of the previous massacre of the demon race.

Unexpectedly, just after Wu Yuzhu came out, a colorful fourth-order dragon suddenly rushed out from behind the demon army and pounced on Wu Yuzhu.

This is an extremely rare and venomous dragon!

Moreover, it was a poisonous dragon that already possessed the cultivation level of a fourth-order superior rank!

It was obvious that the Fire Dragon King had learned its lesson after suffering heavy losses in the past. It deliberately sought out a fourth-order poisonous dragon from the dragon clan behind it, specifically to restrain or even hunt down Wu Yuzhu.

Poisonous dragons are born with a fondness for all kinds of poisonous creatures, and are also naturally immune to all kinds of toxins, so very few poisons can harm them.

Although Wu Yuzhu's poison was potent, it certainly couldn't harm the Poison Dragon, whose cultivation was two minor realms higher than hers. On the contrary, she herself was a great tonic in the eyes of the Poison Dragon.

Therefore, upon seeing the poisonous dragon appear, the Golden Core cultivator protecting her immediately told her to retreat back into the great formation to avoid being harmed by the poisonous dragon.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's second nascent soul avatar immediately turned to kill the poisonous dragon.

However, a fifth-tier demon king attacked him at this moment, making it impossible for him to break free. He could only order the Golden Core cultivators to temporarily retreat back into the great formation.

However, the poisonous dragon and some fourth-tier demonic beasts were naturally unwilling to give up easily, and directly followed and chased after them.

Fortunately, Luo Qingni was still stationed at the mountain gate and intervened in time to kill the two reckless fourth-tier high-grade demonic beasts, covering everyone's successful retreat back into the great formation.

After the Golden Core cultivators' attack failed, only the two fifth-tier beings above the sky continued their fierce battle.

After suffering heavy losses to two fifth-tier demon kings in succession, the demon race was clearly no longer able to gain any significant advantage over the human race, and the direct confrontation was a stalemate.

After a fierce battle that lasted for more than an hour, Nangong Wuqing's side was finally unable to wear down the Fire Dragon King, and Zhou Chun and the others retreated back into the great formation one after another.

However, this result did not affect their mood or that of all the cultivators within the Zhou family's mountain sect in the slightest; it did not diminish their joy as if they had won a battle.

In fact, they did win a brilliant victory!

And without a doubt, after this battle, as long as no new reinforcements arrive from the demon race, there will be no danger of the Qinglian Mountains being destroyed or losing lives.

After failing to completely suppress the human race in terms of high-end power, and with the demon army suffering heavy casualties, the demon army outside had no chance of breaking through the mountain-protecting formation.

Zhou Chun's self-rescue plan was a complete success!

Despite his joy, Zhou Chun, always cautious, after the initial celebration, transmitted his voice to the Nascent Soul cultivator who had injured the Catfish Demon King, asking, "Fellow Daoist Ding, in your opinion, will the Catfish Demon King be able to recover its fighting strength in the short term?"

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Ding immediately replied confidently, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you can rest assured about that. Not only is that beast's demon core severely damaged, but its physical body has also been severely burned and damaged by the true fire. Even if a powerful expert helps him remove and purify the fire poison within his body, and even if there are any miraculous pills to restore his injuries, it will definitely take at least a year or two to recover from the injuries on his body!"

"Very well, with Fellow Daoist Ding's words, I am relieved!"

Zhou Chun nodded in satisfaction, finally feeling completely relieved.

Without hesitation, he immediately gave the dragon horns of the two-headed black dragon to the Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had severely injured the Sword Dragon Fish Demon King.

As for the promise of Feng Yuanjun's life essence blood to the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Ding, the promise will only be fulfilled after the war ends and it is confirmed that there is no danger.

Fortunately, the other party understood his difficulties and had no objections.

Naturally, the results of the battle on the Azure Lotus Mountain Range quickly reached the hands of the two commanders on the Moon Wheel Sect's side.

"Incompetent! Useless!!"

Upon learning of the latest battle report, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" was so enraged that he began to curse loudly. As for who he was cursing, it was obvious.

Faced with their furious commander, the other demon kings on either side remained silent, either pretending not to hear or daring not to utter a sound.

Only the Black Dragon Girl tried to speak, saying, "Holy Grandson, how about I go help the Fire Dragon? We can take down the Azure Lotus Mountain Range first, and then we can attack the Moon Wheel Sect!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" seemed to have found a scapegoat and immediately bombarded her with questions: "Do you think humans are fools? Do you think they would let you go and help them? Or do you think you are so capable that you can deceive the eyes and ears of human Nascent Soul stage cultivators?"

These questions left the Black Dragon Girl speechless, and she dared not utter a sound.

It was obvious that the reason why "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" had been so polite to these fifth-tier high-level experts was because he still had many things to rely on.

However, both armies are now facing setbacks, and it seems that the Northern Expedition is about to come to an end. Naturally, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" can no longer restrain his nature.

After questioning and dismissing the Black Dragon Girl, he quickly turned his fierce gaze to the demon king in charge of communication and shouted, "Send word to the Fire Dragon: I don't expect him to achieve any more victories, but he must keep an eye on the human cultivators in the Azure Lotus Mountains. He must not allow them any opportunity to come and provide support here, or I will hold him accountable!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will convey Lord Saint Sun's orders to Lord Fire Dragon as quickly as possible!"

The demon king in charge of delivering the message immediately sprang to attention, hurriedly responded loudly, and retreated.

Meanwhile, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" continued to gaze at the other demon kings and said in a deep voice, "We will continue the battle tomorrow. I do not believe that the Moon Wheel Sect's protective mountain formation can continue to operate at such a high intensity indefinitely. Even if it exhausts the spiritual energy of its spiritual veins, we will break it!"

The other demon kings naturally dared not object to his decision.

Looking back at the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, just a short distance away, Venerable Yuanyang and the avatar of Divine Venerable Taigeng were slightly surprised after receiving the battle report from Zhou Chun.

"This Zhou Zhengchun actually has some talent; he always manages to come up with something new!"

After a slight surprise, the avatar of the God Tai Geng smiled and spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Yuanyang could only nod slightly and say, "This junior does indeed have some skill and intelligence. No wonder Fellow Daoist Taigeng thinks so highly of him."

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord seemed to have a feeling and couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Speaking of which, the outbreak of wars in various places has indeed been a test for our human race's younger generation. While there are certainly many younger generations who are all talk and no action, possessing only cultivation levels, there are also some who have shown extraordinary potential and strength. Perhaps in the future, one of them will be able to join us as a member!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Yuanyang nodded and said, "That's not surprising. In the past, there were rules set by the sages to restrain them. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the younger generation rarely engaged in life-or-death battles, and they dared not provoke other races in their territories. Naturally, it's a mixed bag, and it's difficult to discern the true masters!"

At this point, he shook his head slightly and said, "However, to become one of us is easier said than done! I'm afraid no one may succeed even within a thousand years!"

"It's hard to say what will happen within a thousand years, but after a thousand years, once the turbid and evil energy dissipates, our human race will surely have a new Nascent Soul cultivator emerge!"

When the incarnation of Tai Geng God said these words, his tone was extremely firm.

Venerable Yuanyang seemed to have no doubt about this, and simply remarked with some emotion, "Indeed, the dissipation of the turbid and malevolent energy is a tremendous opportunity. These younger generations are truly born in a good era, and have just caught up with this opportunity!"

He finished speaking with a desolate sigh, "It's a pity I'm too old; I'm afraid I won't live to see this best of times come!"

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Divine Venerable Tai Geng looked at him with slight surprise and said, "Didn't Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang learn his longevity secret method from Fellow Daoist Chang Chun? With your alchemical skills and the aid of the longevity secret method, you should be able to survive a thousand years, right?"

"How could Fellow Daoist Changchun's secret method of prolonging life be so easy to learn? I am not like him, possessing a special spiritual body, having been fortunate enough to consume immortal spiritual substances, and having acquired spiritual roots to assist me!"

Venerable Yuanyang sighed bitterly, his tone filled with helplessness.

Then, with a touch of envy, he exclaimed, "If we're talking about who truly has a chance to ascend after the turbid evil energy dissipates, besides that reclusive senior in deep slumber, Fellow Daoist Changchun should be the most promising one!"

As he spoke, he cast an envious glance at the avatar of the Divine Venerable Tai Geng and said, "Of course, Fellow Daoist Tai Geng, you all still have a chance. If the turbid evil energy dissipates and the tide of spiritual energy in this world truly descends, there will be a thousand years of good times. If you seize the opportunity to cultivate to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm during that period, ascending to the upper realm will not be a pipe dream!"

"The spiritual energy and tides of heaven and earth are just ancient legends, so we shouldn't have too high expectations. In short, we should treat them with a normal attitude."

The avatar of Tai Geng God didn't seem to care much about this, speaking in a very indifferent tone.

This made Venerable Yuanyang even more envious.

Because he knew very well that it wasn't that Tai Geng God Venerable didn't care, but rather that he still had at least one or two thousand years of lifespan left, and could afford to wait.

The lifespan of a human cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage is not as fixed as it was before reaching the Nascent Soul stage; the range of lifespan that can fluctuate is quite vast.

Under normal circumstances, it might only be five or six thousand years, but in some cases it could be more than eight thousand years!

Because once you reach this level, there are too many ways to prolong your life and slow down the passage of time, and the path you walk may also affect your lifespan.

For example, Venerable Yuanyang himself has lived for over six thousand years, while Venerable Changchun is said to have lived for over eight thousand years!

The lifespan of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable is still several hundred years short of five thousand years, so of course he can sit comfortably on the fishing platform.

Next, Venerable Yuanyang seemed to lose interest in talking. After consulting with the avatar of Venerable Taigeng, he only sent a message to Zhou Chun to commend him, and that was the end of it.

After receiving the order from "Golden Profound Saint Grandson", the Fire Dragon King knew that his performance had completely disappointed the commander-in-chief and that there would be no more reinforcements for him, so he became somewhat resigned.

Although he would still lead other demon kings to attack the Zhou family's protective mountain formation, his fighting spirit was gone, and he would simply go through the motions.

Over time, a certain tacit understanding even developed.

The two sides clashed every three days, but they didn't fight to the death. They just exhausted each other, and then the human side retreated to rest and recover.

Zhou Chun was naturally very satisfied with this result.

His goal was simply to defend the Zhou family's mountain gate; he would be satisfied if he could achieve that.

As for defeating the demon army outside and supporting the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, let alone whether he could do it or not, he might not be willing to do it!

In contrast to the calm on the eastern battlefield, the main battlefield where the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate is located is fierce every day.

"Golden Profound Saint Grandson" is not one to give up easily. He has not yet fully accepted the outcome of stopping here. Therefore, he not only frequently leads his team to fight against powerful figures such as the incarnation of Tai Geng God, but also keeps his demon beast army under his command maintaining a high-pressure attack frequency.

Although he was no match for the incarnation of the God of Tai Geng, he was not afraid to frequently fight against the incarnation of the God of Tai Geng, thanks to his thick skin, strong recovery ability, abundant healing spiritual items, and his personal healer.

Although he couldn't defeat Tai Geng Divine Venerable, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape always managed to gain a slight advantage when facing any late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. After each exchange, he could leave his opponent with some injuries, preventing them from getting proper rest.

Meanwhile, the intense attacks from other demon kings and the demon beast army continued to wear down the Moon Wheel Sect's protective mountain formation, as if they would not give up until the formation was broken!

"This little mudskipper is quite persistent. Despite being tormented by my sword energy to the point of howling like a ghost, it still dares to keep coming to challenge me. Perhaps I can take this little mudskipper as my mount when the turbid evil energy dissipates and the Dragon Abyss is leveled!"

One day, after the incarnation of Tai Geng God Venerable defeated "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" once again and returned, he spoke of his own thoughts with great interest.

But Venerable Yuanyang looked at him with a serious expression and said, "The situation has taken an unexpected turn. Fellow Daoist Tianyi is injured, and that old monster from the Multi-Winged Clan seems to be acting strangely!"

8,000 words completed, Day 3 of check-in!
