Chapter 6 Invasion of Xuanwu Kingdom
Chu Yuan glanced at him indifferently, then turned his gaze to the approaching horde of fire beasts.
"People of the Temple of War? Step behind me. Luohe Sect disciples, halt."
Before he could finish speaking, he raised his hand and waved it.
Lightning flashed in his palm!
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm shot out from his palm, crashing down in front of the fire beast horde and exploding into a lightning net.
As the lightning spread, dozens of fire beasts at the forefront were instantly engulfed by the lightning, screaming as they turned into charred remains.
At the same time, the crimson flying sword flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a red streak of light, and darted through the fire beast horde like a ghost.
puff!puff!puff!
Wherever the flying sword passed, the fire beast's brow was pierced, and the blood was instantly extinguished before it could even splatter.
The flying sword was incredibly fast; with each flash, it took the lives of several fire beasts. In a short time, hundreds of fire beasts fell to the sword.
Chu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke again: "Use ranged spells to protect the flanks of the team. The main force continues forward without stopping!"
"yes!"
The disciples of the Luohe Sect nearby responded in unison and unleashed their spells one after another. Fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, lightning... all sorts of spells rained down on the fire beast horde.
The cultivators from the other sects also reacted and joined forces with the disciples of the Luohe Sect to block the attack.
The power of tens of thousands of cultivators is not something that a mere group of fire beasts can contend with.
Moments later, the hundreds of fire beasts were almost all dead or wounded, and the few remaining ones scattered and fled into the wilderness.
Chu Yuan sheathed his flying sword, and the lightning in his palm gradually dissipated.
He turned around and glanced at Wang Lin behind him, his expression indifferent.
"You're a disciple of the Temple of War? What's your name?"
Wang Lin bowed respectfully, saying, "I am Ma Liang. Thank you for saving my life, senior."
Chu Yuan nodded, glancing at him indifferently.
Wang Lin was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage at the moment. His aura was calm and his gaze was clear. If he did not know the plot, he probably would not have connected this ordinary disciple of the War God Temple with the future powerhouse who would reach the Heavenly Realm.
"Go back to your War God Temple's ranks."
Chu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the bloodline.
"Yes, thank you, Elder."
Wang Lin cupped his hands in greeting again, said nothing more, turned around, and flew towards the War God Temple's troops on his sword.
Back in the group, Wang Lin glanced back.
"That person was terrifying. He was only at the Core Formation stage, yet the pressure he exerted on me was no less than that of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the War God Temple I encountered before. He was definitely not simple."
However, judging from the situation just now, there should be no malice. After this matter, we must leave the Fire Burning Kingdom immediately. As for the Xuanwu Kingdom, we cannot stay there any longer. Leaving as soon as possible to break through to the Core Formation stage is the most important thing.
Over the next ten days or so, the Fire Alliance army officially entered the territory of Xuanwu Kingdom.
The war was far more brutal than imagined.
Xuanwu Kingdom is not a lamb to be slaughtered. More than a dozen sects, large and small, are entrenched on this land, with profound foundations and more Nascent Soul experts than Huofen Kingdom.
The two sides turned on each other with bloodlust the moment they met, fighting all the way from the border to the heartland, every inch of land soaked in the blood of cultivators.
Chu Yuan has also been busy during this time.
He possesses the divine sense of the ultimate realm, and there is no enemy within the Core Formation realm.
In the past ten days or so, he has killed more than a dozen Core Formation experts from Xuanwu Kingdom, including many veteran experts who have reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation.
His name quickly spread throughout the cultivation world of Xuanwu Kingdom. A Core Formation cultivator from Huofen Kingdom, he was ruthless and terrifyingly powerful, with no one below the Nascent Soul stage able to withstand his might.
The Nascent Soul Ancestor of Xuanwu Kingdom was furious and immediately put Chu Yuan on the kill list, with a bounty high enough to tempt anyone.
However, if the Nascent Soul doesn't emerge, who can kill him?
Chu Yuan didn't care at all.
He followed the Luohemen troops every day, fighting whenever they encountered an enemy, and always winning.
On this day, his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
The spiritual energy within his body surged like a tide, and the immense power in his meridians seemed to break through an invisible barrier, rising steadily until it reached an unprecedented height.
The Great Perfection of Core Formation.
Chu Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a smile appearing on his lips.
Wang Lin made a breakthrough.
Over the past month, Wang Lin has been fighting a life-or-death battle against both the fire beast and the cultivators of Xuanwu Kingdom, with one opportunity after another. He has already broken through from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
His cultivation level was tied to Wang Lin's. Every time Wang Lin advanced to a higher realm, he would advance to the same realm simultaneously. From the mid-stage of Core Formation to the late-stage of Core Formation, and now to the Great Perfection of Core Formation, it only took a few dozen days.
Now, he is not afraid at all, even when facing a Nascent Soul expert.
With his exceptional divine sense and the cultivation of a fully-fledged Core Formation cultivator, he was confident that he could fight any early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator head-on, and even... kill them.
In the heart of Xuanwu Kingdom, above a vast forest.
The two sides stood facing each other in mid-air, the atmosphere so heavy it seemed frozen in time.
On one side was a large army of cultivators from the Fire Burning Alliance, led personally by Ancestor Lanruo. Thousands of cultivators were on high alert, exuding a murderous aura.
On the other side was the Qingxin Sect, a local sect of Xuanwu Kingdom. The leader of the group was also a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert. Moreover, there was a faint Nascent Soul aura in the opposing camp, making them one more Nascent Soul warrior than the Fire Burning Alliance.
The Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the Qingxin Sect had a gloomy face. His gaze swept over the members of the Fire Burning Alliance like a knife. He spoke in a deep voice, his voice suppressing his anger.
"Fire Kingdom, you really have no shame! You yourselves are facing a fire beast crisis, yet you come to seize our land of survival. What kind of logic is this?"
Lan Ruo stood at the forefront of the Fire Burning Alliance, her white robes fluttering in the wind, a light veil covering her eyes, her expression serene.
"In the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. We have no other choice but to do this."
Her voice was clear and cool, like a spring, neither hurried nor slow.
"At this point, there's no need to say more."
Lan Ruo raised her eyes, and although there was a light veil between her and the light veil, her cold fighting spirit was not concealed at all.
"Let's fight."
"snort!"
The founder of the Qingxin Sect snorted coldly.
"My Xuanwu Kingdom is not one to be trifled with!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and thousands of cultivators behind him attacked in unison, with magical light pouring down like a torrential rain.
Without hesitation, Lan Ruo formed hand seals, and the spiritual energy within her body surged forth, transforming into a gigantic ice phoenix that stretched across the heavens and earth.
The ice phoenix was crystal clear, with wingspans reaching a hundred feet. Wherever it passed, the air froze into ice as it pounced towards the mid-stage Nascent Soul Ancestor opposite it.
The two Nascent Soul stage experts instantly clashed, each collision unleashing a deafening roar that threw the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles into chaos.
Another Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the Qingxin Sect laughed wildly, his gaze sweeping over the Fire Burning Alliance camp with disdain.
"Hahahaha, your Fire Burning Kingdom has very few Nascent Soul experts. Let's see how you handle this battle!"
Lan Ruo's expression darkened slightly; she was indeed somewhat worried.
In order to set up the Great Locking Formation to defend against the fire beasts, the Fire Kingdom indirectly lost several Nascent Soul level warriors, resulting in a slight disadvantage in the number of Nascent Soul experts compared to the Xuanwu Kingdom. This battle will not be easy.
However, she showed no sign of it on her face, and said coldly, "Hmph, the outcome is still uncertain!"
Below, the cultivators from both sides were already locked in a fierce battle.
"kill!"
The shouts of battle shook the heavens, and the light of magic made the entire sky flicker.
Blood splattered, limbs fell, screams rose and fell, and cultivators fell with every breath.
The ancestor of Xuanwu Kingdom, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, turned his attention to the ordinary cultivators of the Fire Burning Alliance.
A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips. With a wave of his hand, a gigantic palm that blotted out the sky materialized and slammed down fiercely towards the dense crowd of cultivators below.
