Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 455
Chapter 455 A Fierce Battle, Using All Means (Please Subscribe)
Li Chang’an’s absence was expected by many.
Even if he wasn’t an ancient cultivator, he was merely a rogue cultivator, unrelated to the eight righteous Nascent Soul forces, and had no need to fight the demonic path to the death.
Yin Ling sighed, seemingly disappointed.
“My cultivation has improved recently, and I intended to seek him out for another battle to avenge my previous serious injury, but he didn’t come.”
“Yin Ling, no need for Fellow Daoist Lin, I alone am enough to kill you!”
True Monarch Black Sand’s expression was icy as he shouted sharply.
Yin Ling sneered: “Arrogant! You think you can kill me? Even without using the power of the Soul Path, I can suppress you!”
“Whether I can kill you or not, we’ll know after one battle!”
True Monarch Black Sand’s aura surged, sand and dust swirling around him, transforming into a black spear that struck Yin Ling like lightning.
The Nascent Soul battle erupted!
The Nascent Souls of both sides attacked almost simultaneously, flying into the vast sky, their immense magical power surging forth.
Below, the shouts of battle shook the heavens and earth.
“Kill!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“Fellow Daoists, follow me! Slay these demonic bastards!”
Thousands upon thousands of cultivators converged along the long border, engaging in a frenzied slaughter. Instantly, countless cultivators exploded, the thick stench of blood rising into the sky.
On both sides of the battlefield, countless flying boats gathered spiritual energy, erupting with blinding beams of light.
Furthermore, numerous mechanical beasts, demonic beasts, and demonic plants spewed spells and demonic arts from both sides, their brilliant light mingling with the blood-red glow, illuminating the entire world.
Countless magic cores shattered, talismans burned, puppets crumbled, and Gu worms withered…
In this vast, bloody battlefield, even Golden Core cultivators appeared insignificant, while Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators were like ants.
Everyone was bloodthirsty, and every moment, countless cultivators perished.
“The Immortal Dao War is truly cruel,”
a Nascent Soul cultivator from an ancient sect remarked.
The others had varying expressions; some were worried, others indifferent.
Some wore expressions of sorrow, as if recalling the devastating war that destroyed the nine great immortal sects.
Li Chang’an’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze lingering on the sky for a moment.
The righteous path had too few Nascent Soul cultivators; almost every one of them had to contend with attacks from two or three opponents.
The number of Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refining cultivators, as well as the overall quality of their pills, talismans, and magic treasures, were also inferior to those of the demonic path.
They could barely hold on for now, but without other means, they would inevitably be defeated in the long run.
Amidst the bloodshed and chaos,
Li Chang’an spotted many familiar faces.
His gaze quickly fell upon a Foundation Establishment cultivator who resembled Xu Fugui.
This man was named Xu Zhanye, a descendant of Xu Fugui’s first son, Xu Ping’an, and had recently achieved Foundation Establishment in Changqing Immortal City.
His strength was considerable, surpassing most of his peers, and he instantly killed two early Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.
“Crack!”
He used a spell to sever two heads.
After this battle, the merit from these two Foundation Establishment heads would allow him to exchange them for many valuable items.
Before he could even collect the two heads, a ferocious, peak Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator attacked, killing him in a single move.
“Boom!”
Xu Zhanye’s chest exploded, a bloody mess, as he fell amidst countless corpses and blood.
The demonic cultivator grinned, severing his head, intending to exchange it for demonic merit.
But in the next instant ,
a golden core-level power swept past, cleaving the demonic cultivator in two at the waist.
His smile froze, his madness gradually subsided, and his body fell onto Xu Zhanye’s remains, becoming one of countless dead bodies.
The one who struck was Xiao Tianbao, a golden core cultivator from the Xiao family.
In the blink of an eye,
Xiao Tianbao’s body exploded, dying at the hands of a stronger golden core demonic cultivator, even his golden core annihilated.
The golden core demonic cultivator didn’t live long either, being killed by the combined efforts of Gu Qinghong, He Xiangfeng, and Xiong Yan.
Along the long border, countless cultivators fought and killed, death a constant companion.
Not long after…
Gu Qinghong and his two companions also faced a crisis.
They were besieged by more than ten Golden Core demonic cultivators, their lives hanging by a thread.
He Xiangfeng sighed, “I never imagined that the three of us, who have fought our whole lives, would be able to fight side by side in our final moments.”
Xiong Yan laughed, “Back then, I thought you two had the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so I cultivated with all my might, just to see who could achieve the Nascent Soul stage first.”
“When I first embarked on the path of cultivation, I did indeed aspire to reach the Nascent Soul stage…”
Gu Qinghong smiled, recalling those days.
The three of them had fought to the point of exhaustion, and perhaps they would die at any moment, but their faces showed no fear, instead bearing smiles.
Just then,
a bolt of lightning flashed, instantly sweeping away the three of them.
The more than ten demonic cultivators who were besieging the three were stunned for a moment, looking in all directions, but the three had already disappeared.
Only a very few people saw clearly that the one who had rescued the three was a third-tier Wind and Thunder Bird.
That Wind and Thunder Bird came from the Zhou family of Beast Taming, and was skilled in wind and thunder escape techniques. It had an astonishingly fast speed, even comparable to a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator, and constantly shuttled across the battlefield to rescue people.
But his strength was ultimately limited; he couldn’t save too many people, much less reverse the tide of battle.
At this moment,
many people could see the decline of the righteous path.
In the rear of the battlefield, countless righteous diviners sat cross-legged, ranging from first-tier to fourth-tier divination masters.
Their expressions were solemn as they used divination techniques to try and influence the changes in the heavens, hoping to give the righteous path a better chance of victory.
However,
the divination masters of the demonic path were also manipulating the heavens.
The divination powers of both sides intertwined in the sky, forming a complex and intricate web of heavenly secrets.
Before long, one of these webs collapsed.
“Pfft—”
More than ten fourth-tier divination masters from both the righteous and demonic sides coughed up blood and collapsed, their once black hair instantly turning white, aging to the extreme, their lives coming to an end.
Below the sky, within the Nascent Soul battlefield, the Azure Dragon True Monarch looked down, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
Several of the Azure Dragon Sect’s divination geniuses had already exhausted their lifespans.
Opposite him, several Nascent Soul demonic cultivators laughed loudly.
“Hehehe, Azure Dragon, you’re already struggling to survive, yet you’re still thinking about the divination masters in your sect? Think more about yourself!”
The group launched a coordinated attack, employing numerous methods and unleashing spells one after another, leaving Azure Dragon only able to react passively.
If it weren’t for his Azure Dragon Spirit Body, he would likely have been injured long ago.
Just then,
a Golden Core cultivator soared into the sky.
“Supreme Elder, I’ve come to your aid!”
Although the man was only a Golden Core cultivator, his aura far surpassed that of other Golden Core cultivators and was rapidly rising, approaching the Nascent Soul realm.
Li Chang’an recognized the man.
It was Elder Yu Tao of the Azure Dragon Sect, who had once acted alongside him, helping Zhuo Wanshuang, the daughter of the Azure Dragon True Monarch, hunt down the little Azure Dragon mechanical beast.
Yu Tao possessed exceptional talent, having simultaneously reached the near-fourth level in Feng Shui and Spirit Vein Techniques, allowing him to fight using the power of the earth’s veins.
He had once told Li Chang’an that if he could become a fourth-tier Feng Shui master, he could even use the power of the earth’s veins to fight against a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Now, he had successfully taken that step.
“Rumble…”
Beneath the earth, one after another, the energy of the earth’s veins rose, like dragons ascending to heaven and earth, converging into his body, helping him soar straight into the sky and enter the Nascent Soul battlefield.
“He can actually rival a Nascent Soul.”
Li Chang’an looked at Yu Tao with deep eyes.
At this moment, Yu Tao’s aura was powerful, and he already possessed the strength of a Pseudo-Nascent Soul, blocking a demonic Nascent Soul for the Azure Dragon True Monarch.
After him
, more than ten figures from both the righteous and demonic sides soared into the sky, all of them fourth-tier Feng Shui masters or spirit vein masters, each capable of fighting against a Nascent Soul using the power of the earth’s veins.
“Many fourth-tier cultivation techniques can threaten a Nascent Soul.”
Li Chang’an pondered silently.
As he was thinking, a demonic True Monarch suddenly screamed and fell from the sky, his life force gone.
Meanwhile, behind the battlefield, several fourth-tier curse masters from the Zixia Sect laughed blood-spittingly.
“Hahaha, we’re merely Golden Core cultivators, yet we managed to exchange our lives for a Nascent Soul True Monarch! Our lives have been worthwhile!” As
soon as they finished speaking, they all exploded, their bodies and souls annihilated.
They had all paid the price of their lives to curse and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Besides them,
countless other highly skilled cultivators were also displaying their full abilities across the battlefield.
Beastmasters were manipulating hundreds and thousands of demonic beasts, spirit plant masters were controlling demonic plants, and Gu masters were releasing countless Gu worms…
all the arts of cultivation were on full display in this grand immortal war.
However,
the key to this battle lay in the victory or defeat of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
“It’s time to use our trump cards,”
Li Chang’an thought silently, watching the Nascent Soul battlefield.
With the demonic army pressing in, they naturally didn’t want the stalemate to last too long and would likely use other means to end the battle as quickly as possible.
Sure enough,
the river of blood suddenly began to churn, its waters seemingly boiling.
“Roar—”
A roar was heard, and a coffin flew out of the crimson river, exploding in mid-air.
A fourth-rank Yellow Spring Blood Corpse appeared, its blood-red aura surging as it charged into the Nascent Soul battlefield.
Immediately afterward, coffin after coffin flew out of the blood river.
In the blink of an eye, the number of Yellow Spring Blood Corpses had exceeded thirty, each comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch!
“How could the Yellow Spring Sect raise so many Yellow Spring Blood Corpses?”
On the righteous side, countless cultivators turned pale, a hint of despair creeping into their eyes.
The number of Nascent Soul experts from the demonic path already far exceeds that of the righteous path. If these Yellow Spring Blood Corpses are also included, the righteous path sees almost no hope.
Moreover, the Yellow Spring Blood Corpses are not all the demonic path’s methods.
“Boom!”
A powerful white bone demon god suddenly appeared in the sea of bones, possessing undeniable fourth-tier strength, and charged towards the righteous path’s Nascent Soul cultivators.
After him
, one fourth-tier white bone demon god after another appeared.
The fourth-tier power cultivated by the White Bone Sect is no less than that of the Yellow Spring Sect.
The number of fourth-tier white bone demon gods also exceeds thirty!
In addition,
poisonous mist surged on the Five Poison Valley side.
Dozens of poisonous insects flew out, each reaching the fourth tier, and charged into the Nascent Soul battlefield along with the numerous white bone demon gods.
The fourth-tier power cultivated by the three major sects clearly exceeds one hundred!
On the Nether Soul Sect side, fewer fourth-tier power appeared, only a few fourth-tier refined corpses.
But everyone knows that
the Nether Soul Sect’s greatest strength lies in its soul power!
No one knows how many souls the Nether Soul Sect has accumulated.
“Is there any chance of winning this battle?”
Looking at the hundreds of fourth-tier power cultivators, many righteous cultivators snapped out of their frenzied slaughter, their hearts filled with shock, despair, and even a sense of numbness.
The demonic path’s foundation was simply too strong, and their methods for cultivating fourth-tier power were far simpler; the righteous path seemed to have lost all hope.
Just then,
Black Sand True Monarch suddenly roared,
“Foundation? My Yellow Sand Sect has that too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sandstorm raged across the land.
The howling wind and billowing sand turned the sky a hazy yellow.
Before the incredulous eyes of countless cultivators, endless sand gathered on the battlefield, transforming into fourth-tier giants composed entirely of yellow sand.
“The Sandstorm Clan?”
Li Chang’an was secretly surprised, recognizing this race.
This race was one of the ancient myriad races, long extinct in the cultivation world. He hadn’t expected the Yellow Sand Sect to have raised a group, with over twenty reaching the fourth tier!
The demonic side seemed unsurprised by this.
Yin Ling sneered, “Black Sand, I knew long ago that your Yellow Sand Sect’s secret realm had the Sand Dust Clan. A mere twenty-odd fourth-tier Sand Dust Clan members can’t change the outcome of this battle!” “
Is that so?”
True Monarch Mingxia suddenly waved his hand, and more than thirty puppets flew out, all of them fourth-tier puppets!
Each of these puppets was engraved with the character “Mo,” clearly relics left behind by the ancient Mohist school.
In this era, fourth-tier puppet materials are rare, and forging even one is difficult, let alone more than thirty.
The appearance of these puppets caused the strength of the righteous path to surge.
The previously tilted scales gradually rose back up.
The despair in the hearts of countless righteous cultivators was also dispelled considerably.
“Excellent! I knew that the millennia-old heritage of my Purple Cloud Sect was more than what it appeared on the surface!”
Many Purple Cloud Sect cultivators were excited and overjoyed.
“Our righteous path will surely win this battle!”
“Indeed, Heaven will protect our righteous path!”
“Our White Tiger Sect has been established for ten thousand years, surely we have some impressive resources?”
A White Tiger Sect disciple looked at Jade Tiger True Monarch with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, beams of spiritual light flew out from Jade Tiger True Monarch’s storage bag, transforming into one powerful fourth-tier White Tiger mechanical beast after another.
Although there were only a dozen or so, they greatly boosted the morale of the righteous path.
At the same time.
Behind the battlefield, on a Vermilion Bird Sect flying boat.
Mu Hongyu sat cross-legged, her eyes bloodshot, her red hair flying, her body surrounded by flames, and a faint phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared behind her.
In front of her were more than a dozen jade bottles.
These jade bottles contained the essence blood condensed by the Vermilion Bird spirits of past generations before their deaths.
“Vermilion Bird, emerge!”
Mu Hongyu shouted, and the more than ten jade bottles shattered simultaneously.
The essence blood within the bottle shot skyward, transforming into phantoms of Vermilion Birds, each possessing an aura of the fourth rank. They flew towards the battlefield of righteous and demonic forces, their crimson flames instantly turning half the sky red.
“This is the foundation of the Vermilion Bird Sect,”
Li Chang’an said, his gaze sharpening as he looked at the fourth-rank Vermilion Bird phantoms.
“These Vermilion Bird phantoms are formed from the essence blood of successive generations of Vermilion Bird spirits. Their existence is limited, lasting at most a few days, similar to the Yellow Spring Blood Corpse, enough to finish this Immortal War.” “
The White Tiger and Vermilion Bird Sects have already revealed their strengths. I wonder how the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise Sects are doing?”
Li Chang’an glanced at the old tortoise beside him.
The old tortoise looked somewhat uneasy, giving an awkward smile.
“My Black Tortoise Sect has a shallow foundation, and it was further ruined by that bastard Holy Fire. We have little foundation left, and now we’re not much stronger than the Wang family.”
“Oh,”
Li Chang’an replied, too lazy to ask further.
He suspected that the Xuanwu Sect still possessed hidden strength, but this old tortoise was reluctant to reveal it, intending to use it to save his life in a critical moment.
Just then, the Azure Dragon Sect’s hidden strength appeared.
On an Azure Dragon Sect flying boat,
Chi Qingwu also took out more than ten jade bottles, each containing the essence blood of past Azure Dragon spirits.
However, he did not summon the Azure Dragon phantom, but instead walked to the edge of a spirit pool on the flying boat and dripped the essence blood into it.
Inside the spirit pool ,
there were more than ten azure carp that had reached the peak of the third rank.
They swallowed the essence blood one by one, flew out of the spirit pool, and their aura surged in mid-air, instantly breaking through the third rank limit. Their bodies also changed, their scales gradually transforming into azure dragon scales.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the more than ten azure carp shone brightly, simultaneously breaking through to the fourth rank.
Carp transforming into dragons!
“Roar—”
The dragon’s roar shook the heavens and earth, resounding through the clouds.
More than ten azure dragons entered the Nascent Soul stage, accompanying the Vermilion Bird phantom, confronting the fourth-tier demonic power opposite them.
“These azure dragons seem to be temporary as well, not yet fully broken through,”
Li Chang’an mused.
Like humans advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, demonic beasts breaking through to the fourth tier undergo trials of heavenly lightning and inner demon tribulations.
However, these Azure Dragons lacked this power, and their auras were somewhat weak.
Although they temporarily possessed fourth-tier combat strength, they couldn’t be considered true fourth-tier demonic beasts. Once their essence blood power dissipated, they would fall to third-tier demonic beasts.
“They can probably only last a few days.”
Of course, a few days would be enough.
The combined fourth-tier power of the Sandstorm Clan, the puppets, the White Tiger mechanical beasts, and the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragons also exceeded one hundred.
This was no less than that of the demonic path, and perhaps even surpassed it!
The foundations of the Wang family and the Xuanwu Sect were negligible, and they couldn’t muster any more fourth-tier power. On
the righteous path side,
only the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty, an old Nascent Soul power with 30,000 years of history, hadn’t yet made a move.
“The Great Qi’s foundation is much stronger than the other righteous Nascent Soul powers. The reason they haven’t used it yet is probably to guard against the Nether Soul Sect and the Blissful Heaven Sect.”
Li Chang’an glanced at the numerous flying boats of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty.
On the leading flying boat, Qi Yunjin remained calm, showing no sign of panic, clearly indicating that everything was still under control.
At this moment,
as the foundations of both sides were revealed…
An eerie silence fell over the entire battlefield.
Both righteous and demonic cultivators ceased their fighting, withdrawing from their frenzied state.
Blood River True Monarch frowned slightly, his expression growing more grave.
Clearly,
the righteous path’s foundation was stronger than they had anticipated.
They could withstand all the methods of the three demonic sects without the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty even needing to intervene, and even have the strength to counterattack.
Black Sand coldly shouted, “Yin Spirit, Blood River, what other methods do you have?”
“What’s the rush, Fellow Daoist Black Sand?”
Yuanji True Monarch of the Blissful Heaven Sect suddenly spoke.
He sneered, waving his hand, and a ball of seven-colored light flew out, transforming into more than ten humanoid monsters.
These monsters had strange appearances, their bodies entirely seven-colored, with seven faces on their heads, each displaying an expression of joy, anger, sorrow, etc.
“These are the Blissful Heaven Corpses, what do you all think?”
Sensing the aura of these Blissful Heaven Corpses, the many Nascent Soul cultivators of the righteous path fell silent.
Although the number of Blissful Corpses couldn’t compare to the Bone Demon God and the Poisonous Insects, each one possessed the strength of a mid-stage fourth-tier cultivator, comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
Their appearance once again shattered the balance.
At this moment,
Qi Jiuyang spoke in a deep voice: “Blissful Corpses, nothing more than this, no match for my Great Qi Heavenly Soldiers!”
As he spoke, two beams of spiritual light flew out from his storage bag, transforming into two clay statues.
On the back of each of these clay statues was engraved a character.
One was “Wind,” and the other was “Rain.”
The next instant,
the two statues came to life, transforming into golden-armored giants with eyes like copper bells and broad shoulders and thick waists.
The moment the two golden-armored giants appeared, a great storm raged between heaven and earth.
“Call the wind!”
“Call the rain!”
The two roared angrily at the heavens.
The gale and rain howled in, instantly devouring more than a dozen Blissful Corpses.
At the same time, the two golden-armored giants waved their hands, scattering a handful of silver beans.
These silver beans swelled in the wind, transforming into astonishingly powerful silver-armored giants, each possessing an aura reaching the fourth rank!
This was the first time the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty had revealed its true strength to the outside world, shocking countless cultivators present.
Commanding wind and rain, turning beans into soldiers!
