Chapter 758 A Glorious Victory! [Please Subscribe]

The powerful Ice and Fire Demon Ape is fearsome and unparalleled.

In just a few moves, Zhou Chun and Nangong Wuqing, these two so-called great cultivators, were forced to their limits.

Faced with such a ferocious Ice-Fire Demon Ape, even the arrogant mid-Nascent Soul cultivator Nangong Wuqing felt a sense of despair at the insurmountable odds and dared not continue fighting.

And Zhou Chun was no different!

But he was more mindful of the bigger picture and didn't want the victory he had already secured to be overturned.

Therefore, after hearing Nangong Wuqing's words, he first glanced at the other Nascent Soul cultivators who were still fleeing back, and then said in a deep voice, "Delay a little longer, the other fellow cultivators will be retreating soon. We'll retreat after they're safe!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wuqing couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you truly have a compassionate heart. I just wonder if those fellow Daoists will appreciate your kindness!"

He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to fight this demon anymore. Fellow Daoist Zhou, take care of yourself!"

Then, without paying attention to Zhou Chun's reaction to these words, he withdrew from the battlefield.

Clearly, although he had a good relationship with Zhou Chun, he wasn't at the point where he would risk his life for Zhou Chun.

He could understand Zhou Chun's desire to consider the bigger picture, but Zhou Chun's bigger picture was not his bigger picture.

He doesn't need to put himself in danger for this!

Nangong Wuqing's decisive withdrawal caused Zhou Chun's face to darken and his mood to become even heavier.

Despite his poor performance so far, Nangong Wuqing did manage to block several attacks from the Ice and Fire Demon Ape.

With their help, the Ice and Fire Demon Ape will definitely have a lot of power tied up.

With Nangong Wuqing gone, all the pressure will fall on Zhou Chun and his spirit pets.

"Flying Tiger, it's all up to you now!"

Despite his heavy heart, Zhou Chun quickly assigned tasks to the demon kings and their spirit pets in his mind.

Yishan Jun immediately attacked again, once again disregarding the consumption of his magic power and unleashing the [Spatial Barrier] defensive divine power to block the Ice and Fire Demon Ape's path forward.

Then Lu Yuanjun made his move, and a [Life and Death Profound Light] struck the Ice and Fire Demon Ape, shaving off a portion of its life force and slowing down its attack.

Zhou Chun then activated the top-grade magic weapon, the [Unstable Golden Light Pearl], with all his might, unleashing a golden light that immobilized the Ice-Fire Demon Ape, hoping to slightly delay its movements!

Meanwhile, Silver Dragon Lord and Mountain Lord each unleashed their signature supernatural powers to strike their target, hoping to delay the opponent for a moment.

Under the series of attacks from their master and servants, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape's movements did indeed falter to some extent, affected by those supernatural powers.

But soon he let out an angry roar, pounded his chest with both fists, and with a burst of ice and fire power, he charged upwards, eliminating the negative effects on his body and breaking through.

Once the "Heavenly Four Symbols Formation" is set up, the front, back, left, right, up, and down can all become corners of the four symbols, meaning there are no blind spots.

However, the scene of the Ice-Fire Demon Ape defeating the Mountain Lord in a direct confrontation had already made Zhou Chun and his demon king spirit pets realize that it was impossible to stop this demon head-on, and they would easily be severely injured by it.

Therefore, Yishan-jun had to take action again, directly setting up a [spatial barrier] above the Ice-Fire Demon Ape's head, forcibly pushing it back.

After this incident, Yishan Jun's magical power was completely depleted, leaving him with less than 20% of it, which was barely enough to maintain the existence of the array domain.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun was prepared for this and immediately used the "Beast Spirit Fusion Technique" to merge with him.

With the help of Zhou Chun's magical power, he was able to maintain the array and have the resources to continue fighting.

Being repeatedly restrained by that invisible barrier only fueled the Ice-Fire Demon Ape's rage.

He glared fiercely at the human-faced flying tiger, then suddenly spread his hands, and a ball of crimson flame and a ball of blue frost appeared in his palms.

Then he actually brought these two completely opposite forces together, like kneading mud, and forcibly kneaded them into a ball of red and blue flames.

He casually tossed the red and blue flame orb forward like a stone.

After flying for several thousand feet, the ball of fire exploded on its own!

Rumble!

A violent explosion roared from the sky, and the array field that was originally shimmering with colorful spiritual light was suddenly swept and covered by a red and blue spiritual light.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the array's power was destroyed and there was no time to repair the area, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape directly charged out of the red and blue area, braving the force of the explosion, and broke out of the array's range!

Judging from the burnt hair on his chest, it was clear that his reckless act had caused him some minor injuries.

However, escaping the encirclement of the "Heavenly Four Symbols Formation" at the cost of minor injuries was undoubtedly a worthwhile trade.

After he came out, he immediately grinned and rubbed his hands together, creating another ball of fire infused with the power of ice and fire, which he then threw into the array.

withdraw!

Zhou Chun, who had already transformed into a human-faced flying tiger, immediately issued a retreat order and used the [Void Walking] divine ability to disappear from the spot.

Meanwhile, Lord Yinlong, Lord Luyuan, and Lord Fushan also scattered and fled in different directions.

The Ice and Fire Demon Ape was certainly not going to let this go easily.

With a roar, he swung his fists, sending a red fireball and a blue iceball hurtling towards Lu Yuanjun and Fushanjun respectively.

At the same time, red and blue ice and fire spiritual light surged around him, and he charged directly towards Lord Fushan.

Boom boom boom!

As the two ice-fire cannonballs hit their targets, they immediately caused violent explosions.

Lu Yuanjun sacrificed another piece of substitute spirit wood to neutralize the power of the attack using the [Wood Spirit Substitute] supernatural power, and accelerated his escape towards the ground.

Lord Fushan could only brace himself with his defenses and endure the frost, which froze his entire body, turning him into a huge block of ice that plummeted toward the earth.

Then, a hazy [Primal Magnetic Divine Light] surged out, washing away all the frost power and restoring the stone turtle to its original appearance.

But the Ice-Fire Demon Ape was already rapidly approaching. If he couldn't be stopped, Lord Fushan wouldn't be able to touch the ground in time to unleash his earth-遁神通 (earth-遁神通, a magical ability to escape from the earth).

Fortunately, the Silver Dragon Lord was very loyal. He immediately used the [Dragon Soars Ten Thousand Miles] divine power, which increased his speed and made him appear in the nearby sky. He then used [Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Slash] and activated [Heavenly Gang Thunder Slash Sword] to strike the Ice and Fire Demon Ape.

However, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape seemed to have figured out Silver Dragon Lord's thoughts. It didn't dodge or evade at all, as if it hadn't noticed the lightning blades and flying swords coming from behind. It continued to pounce on Fushan Lord at the same speed.

But then he saw red and blue spiritual light flashing on his back, which helped him block most of the power of the two attacks, leaving only two shallow wounds on his shoulders and back.

Seeing this, Lord Fushan knew things were going badly. He immediately steeled his heart and urged the stone mountain on his back to smash into the Ice and Fire Demon Ape.

Rumble!

As the Ice-Fire Demon Ape swung its fists at the incoming stone mountain, the stone mountain deliberately self-destructed.

The powerful explosion engulfed his figure, inevitably slowing him down.

Meanwhile, Lord Fushan, who had self-destructed the stone mountain, endured the pain and continued his descent towards the ground.

Finally, when the Ice-Fire Demon Ape emerged from the center of the explosion, it could only watch helplessly as the massive body of the Mountain Lord vanished from the ground, never to be seen again.

This scene enraged him, and he let out a furious roar before fixing his gaze on the nearby Silver Dragon Lord.

However, the Silver Dragon Lord was no slower than him, and was far more agile.

With a flick of its tail and aided by the [Dragon Soars Ten Thousand Miles] divine power, its figure instantly transformed into a bolt of silver lightning, shooting towards Azure Lotus Peak and covering dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape became even more enraged and immediately unleashed its speed to give chase.

Because Zhou Chun and his demon king spirit pets bought time, the Nascent Soul cultivators who had chased after them gradually returned to the great formation.

After Zhou Chun, in his human-faced flying tiger form, appeared directly outside the mountain gate formation, he immediately dispelled the secret technique, separated from Lord Yishan, and then returned to the formation together.

"Fellow Daoists, listen up! Once that demonic ape arrives, focus all your attacks on him. Do not give him a chance to break through the formation!"

As soon as he returned to the formation, he immediately gave the order to concentrate fire on the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had retreated.

However, he knew in his heart that the [Heavenly Azure Dragon Formation] in its current state might not be able to withstand the explosive bombardment of the Ice and Fire Demon Ape.

Not long after, the Silver Dragon Lord led the Ice and Fire Demon Ape over.

Once the Silver Dragon Lord landed in the formation, Zhou Chun gave an order, and more than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators simultaneously unleashed their signature divine abilities to bombard the Ice and Fire Demon Ape behind them.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape immediately stopped its pursuit and quickly transformed into a red and blue phantom, leaving the spot.

Clearly, even a powerful Icefire Demon Ape like itself could only choose to temporarily evade the combined attack of more than ten fifth-tier experts!

However, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape was clearly unwilling to give up easily, and soon launched a long-range bombardment at the Zhou family's mountain gate from a distance of a hundred miles.

With a swing of his fists, red fireballs and blue ice bullets blasted towards the Zhou family's mountain gate.

However, Zhou Chun had already prepared for this and had informed all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators how to deal with it.

The fireballs and iceballs were blasted apart from a distance by the supernatural powers activated by the Nascent Soul stage cultivators before they even reached their destination.

Although the force of the explosion could be transmitted to the formation, it was no longer enough to pose any threat to it.

If the Ice-Fire Demon Ape dares to approach the great formation, more than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators will focus their fire on it.

After exchanging blows for a while, seeing that it couldn't gain any advantage, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape decided to retreat.

Just then, a piercing explosion came from the far distance on the horizon, and a white-gold sword light was flying rapidly toward the Zhou family's mountain gate from afar.

Upon realizing this, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape immediately turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

He might be able to bully Zhou Chun and the others, but if he were to fight against the avatar of the Tai Geng God, he would be asking for trouble.

Let "Golden Profound Sage Grandson" deal with this opponent!

However, the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable did not seem to have any intention of letting him escape easily. He immediately turned his sword and chased after him.

At the same time, a message torch flew towards Zhou Chun on Qinglian Peak.

On Azure Lotus Peak, Zhou Chun caught the torchlight of the message. After reading its contents, he exclaimed with delight, "Excellent! Senior Tai Geng has severely injured the Fire Dragon King, concluding that it will be unable to fight again for the next three to five years. We can now launch an attack to annihilate that army of demonic beasts!"

After saying that, he immediately ordered the great formation to be opened, allowing all the low- and mid-level cultivators inside the mountain gate who had been idle for a long time to come out and begin to hunt down the scattered demon beast army outside.

At the same time, he and his several demon king spirit pets also quickly left the mountain gate along with those Nascent Soul stage cultivators to hunt down those fourth-order demon beasts.

For them, now is the time to hunt. For every fourth-tier demon beast they kill, they can obtain a fourth-tier demon core and a demon beast corpse.

Such an opportunity is rare, so no matter how tired or exhausted I am now, I can't miss it!

Nascent Soul stage cultivators hunt down fourth-tier demonic beasts, Golden Core stage cultivators chase down third-tier demonic beasts, and Purple Mansion stage cultivators harvest second-tier demonic beasts.

All surviving monks have the opportunity to participate in this grand feast.

Compared to other Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Zhou Chun's advantages are undoubtedly very obvious.

He alone possesses five demon king spirit pets, which is unmatched by anyone else; his efficiency is equivalent to that of six people.

Therefore, in just a few hours, the number of fourth-order demonic beasts that died at the hands of him and his spirit pet reached twenty-one!

This was still the result of his restraint, not pursuing the matter too far.

When he and his spirit pets returned to Qinglian Peak to rest, half of the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators had not yet returned.

As for the Golden Core cultivators, Purple Mansion cultivators, and those mid-to-low-level cultivators who chased after them, they are even less likely to return quickly.

They would definitely wait until they exhausted their magic power before returning, given such a rare opportunity.

"Get back and rest well to recover. An even tougher battle may await us soon!"

On Qinglian Peak, after Zhou Chun confiscated the demon cores and monster corpses handed over by the spirit pets, he solemnly instructed them not to slack off.

Then, he specifically addressed Lord Fushan, saying, "Stone, you suffered the most severe injuries this time. From now on, you should rest and recuperate within the mountain gate!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Fushan simply nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

In fact, since the start of the great battle, apart from Lord Yishan and Lord Luyuan who are still in relatively good condition, Lord Yinlong and the others are not at their peak.

In the past, Zhou Chun would have already let them rest and recuperate to recover their strength.

But in this wartime, as long as they can still go to the battlefield, neither Zhou Chun nor the others get a proper rest.

After arranging for the demon kings and their spirit pets to rest, Zhou Chun began sending battle reports to Venerable Yuanyang, reporting the general results of the battle.

In this battle, they killed two fifth-tier low-grade demon kings on the spot, severely injured one fifth-tier high-grade demon king and one fifth-tier mid-grade demon king, and three other fifth-tier low-grade demon kings were also seriously injured. The remaining demon kings also suffered some internal and external injuries. It can be described as a great victory!

Meanwhile, the fall and escape of the demon kings also disrupted the demon army that had gathered outside Qinglian Peak.

Although the exact number of kills has not yet been tallied, it is estimated that more than fifty fourth-tier monsters perished in this battle, and the remaining monster army suffered at least 100,000 casualties. It can be said that the enemy forces on the eastern battlefield were basically wiped out!

After reporting the general situation of the battle to Venerable Yuanyang, Zhou Chun returned to his cave and meditated to recover his magical power.

On the other side, when Venerable Yuanyang received the detailed battle report from Zhou Chunbing, he also showed a clear smile.

In fact, when the deity Tai Geng returned in his incarnation, he had already given a general account of the results of his previous counterattack.

However, the avatar of the Tai Geng God only said that Zhou Chun killed two fifth-order low-grade demon kings and severely injured the Fire Dragon King, but the rest was not very clear.

Now that he had received a detailed report on the battle situation and learned the specific details, Venerable Yuanyang finally had a thorough understanding of this counterattack war.

He quickly turned to the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable who was meditating and recovering his energy, and laughed, "Hahaha, it really takes Fellow Daoist Tai Geng to personally take action! After this battle, the situation will change again. Now it's that little mudfish outside's turn to worry about how to deal with it!"

Upon hearing his words, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable immediately opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said, "This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Nangong, especially Fellow Daoist Zhou. If he hadn't sacrificed himself to hold off that Ice-Fire Demon Ape at the last moment, creating an opportunity for the others to escape, it's not impossible that two or three Nascent Soul stage cultivators would have perished!"

"Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Tai Geng is right. These two juniors are indeed outstanding in strength, and also bold and meticulous. They deserve commendation!"

Venerable Yuanyang chuckled and nodded, following the words of the avatar of Divine Venerable Taigeng, and praised Zhou Chun and Nangong Wuqing.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "However, since the demon army over the Azure Lotus Mountains has already been defeated and scattered, perhaps we can recall both of them to help here. If they can help hold off that black dragon and the Ink Abyss Python, the situation will be greatly advantageous to us!"

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng God replied calmly, "That's true, but as for the specifics, let's wait and see what that little mudfish outside does next!"

"Absolutely! Let's see what that little mudskipper is up to!"

Venerable Yuanyang nodded and immediately dropped the matter.

Just as they said, the current "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" is both shocked and angry. While he is extremely shocked and angry, he is also filled with resentment and helplessness.

After the severely injured Fire Dragon King fled the battlefield, perhaps fearing that he would meet a terrible fate if he encountered the enraged Fire Dragon King, he fled directly back to Yunzhou.

It was a demon king who had escaped from the Azure Lotus Mountains who explained the situation to him.

The Ice and Fire Demon Ape, who returned later, provided further details, giving him a general understanding of the reasons and consequences of the defeat.

Without a doubt, this was a completely unexpected defeat.

Just as the human race had not anticipated, the Ice and Fire Demon Ape had a trump card that could severely injure a great cultivator.

The demon race did not expect that Zhou Chun, whose strength they had already figured out, would suddenly have another demon king spirit pet, and with this demon king spirit pet, he would kill two fifth-level low-grade demon kings in a row, completely breaking the balance of the battlefield!

The fact that the Fire Dragon King was severely injured made things even worse.

The problem facing "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" is both simple and difficult to solve.

Should he continue to divide his forces to attack the Qinglian Mountains?

If troops are divided and sent there, the strength of that army must be greater than the army previously led by the Fire Dragon King.

But if he really did that, his remaining strength would be insufficient to pose a threat to the Moon Wheel Sect's gate, and he would even have to worry about the human powerhouses inside launching a counterattack!

If the troops are not divided, then the human powerhouses in the Azure Lotus Mountains can come to support them at any time, or cut off their supply lines to Yunzhou, making it impossible for Yunzhou's follow-up troops to come over.

Furthermore, due to the Fire Dragon King's severe injury, they may no longer be able to gain an advantage in terms of top-tier experts, nor will they be able to pose a sufficient threat to the Moon Wheel Sect's protective mountain formation as before.

"Does that human cultivator surnamed Zhou really have some secret? How can he, with only the early Nascent Soul stage cultivation, cultivate five powerful demon king spirit pets?!"

In his frustration, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" suddenly remembered the culprit who had brought him this great trouble, and his eyes immediately turned cold.

Zhou Chun had enslaved a thunder dragon, a fact he already knew. Although he was somewhat angry that someone dared to be so audacious, he didn't pay much attention to it, not to the point of going out of his way to kill the person.

However, in this war, Zhou Chun first killed the Bloodflame Flood Dragon King, and now he has killed two fifth-tier low-grade demon kings. He single-handedly planned and led the counterattack against the demon army on the eastern route. This is to truly make an enemy of him, to really provoke him, and to create trouble for him.

Therefore, his desire to kill Zhou Chun has suddenly become much stronger.

Of course, he was also very curious about what kind of ability Zhou Chun had that allowed him to help five spirit pets successfully overcome their tribulations and advance to the Demon King realm within two or three hundred years after he himself successfully formed his Nascent Soul.

But even though he was burning with murderous intent, he knew that unless Zhou Chun delivered himself to him, he had no chance of killing Zhou Chun himself.

He and the Ice-Fire Demon Ape have now been locked onto by the avatar of the Tai Geng God. Anyone who leaves will be followed by the avatar of the Tai Geng God.

However, he felt that if Zhou Chun really had some secret related to cultivating the demon race, perhaps his own ancestor would also be interested.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he used the method left by his ancestor to make contact with the Golden Horned Dragon Saint.

After a while, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" ended his communication with Golden Horned Dragon Saint with a grim expression.

It is obvious that the outcome of this contact was very unfavorable to him!

Jin Jiaolong Sheng did not intend to help him after he asked for a request, but simply let him decide his next move.

As for Zhou Chun's question, Jin Jiaolong Sheng felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill, and even shirking his responsibility!

Because Zhou Chun's demon king spirit pets, apart from the recently appeared Yishan Jun, are all of the kind of races whose bloodlines are obviously noble and powerful.

It was highly probable that they would be able to advance to the level of Demon King.

Perhaps the only puzzling thing is how Lu Yuanjun, this demon king, survived such a terrible heavenly tribulation.

However, as everyone knows, the matter of transcending tribulation depends entirely on the Demon King himself, and no matter how high one's cultivation level is, outsiders cannot interfere.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Golden Horned Dragon King, this speculation by "Golden Mysterious Grandson" is just an attempt to find excuses for failure!

In some ways, that is indeed the case!

The main reason why Zhou Chun's spirit pets were able to become demon kings was their own hard work and good fortune, which laid the foundation for their "demonic king status" in their bloodline at an early age.

He was also willing to provide his spirit pets with magical treasures for their tribulations. Each spirit pet refined a set of magical treasures and cultivated a tribulation-transforming secret technique when undergoing its tribulation.

If you count them carefully, there are more than a dozen high-grade magic treasures that were destroyed during the tribulation!

In addition, several top-grade magic treasures were destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation!

This is a configuration that many Nascent Soul stage cultivators simply cannot produce.

If Zhou Chun used all these resources to invest in other people, he might have been able to cultivate one or two Nascent Soul stage cultivators!

Unable to gain further support from his ancestor, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" was deeply conflicted and hesitant about his next move.

Oh no! Jun'er messed me up! Tonight, Jun'er's new car is all over social media, and all sorts of gossip have distracted me for two hours. I only managed to write 6,000 words today!
