The Great Wild God - Chapter 495

Chapter 495 First Battle
Daoist Wu Yi and Ge Tong were still worried at first, but when Jiang Nanke paid his respects to Daoist Yang Kun, the head of the Xuandu Sect, and mentioned inviting the disciples of the Xuandu Sect to enter the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to cultivate, they could tell from Daoist Yang Kun’s unconcealable surprise that Chen Xun and the Xuandu Sect did not have a tacit understanding before.

Ge Tong guessed that Mountain Parasol was afraid of the unpredictability of his heart, so he took the initiative to give up half of the Qingwu Ridge, right?

The killing of Mountain Parasol and the Tian Clan experts by the four sects in Qingwu Ridge shook the 36 God Generals greatly. No one dared to act rashly after that. Instead, they waited for Lord Crimson Brow to coordinate the division of the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range.

In the end, apart from the four sects of Mountain Parasol, the other 36 God Generals had less than half of the Skyfire Mountain Range’s spiritual veins. How could they not have any thoughts in their hearts?

Now that Mountain Parasol had given half of Qingwu Ridge’s spiritual veins to the Xuandu Sect and the Dragon Gate Sect, since they could reduce the discontent and hatred of others, and could also rope in two sects that were considered extremely powerful in Yunzhou State, they could kill two birds with one stone.

The Qing Palace didn’t need to pay anything to obtain the support of the Xuandu Sect and the Dragon Gate Sect.

The Crown Prince, Jiang Nanke, led his troops to reinforce Zhou Wushan, mainly to rope in the Xuandu Sect. He didn’t expect that this goal would be accomplished ahead of schedule before he could attack the Black Yin Ridge.

****************

When the Qing Palace troops arrived, the forces of the various sects gathered at Zhou Wushan were basically all here.

The millions of demons sounded enormous, but the Black Yin Ridge stretched for more than 10,000 kilometers. It was no smaller than the Azure Water Ridge, and the mountain range was steep. It was shrouded in the Yin Fiend Miasma all year round. The millions of demons and many other ghosts were hidden in the Black Yin Ridge, so it was extremely difficult to find the main force of the Black Yin Ridge.

The demons had only built solid barriers in the deepest parts of Darkness Ridge, setting up fiendish formations.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered at Zhou Wushan were unable to go thousands of kilometers deep into Darkness Ridge and forcefully attack the mountain walls that the demons had operated for decades and were as solid as gold soup.

The spatial rift connecting Darkness Ridge to the Thousand Devil Realm was less than a thousand miles away from the edge of Darkness Ridge. The exact location had been repeatedly confirmed by the Xuandu Sect and the various sects.

The purpose of this attack on Darkness Ridge was very clear. It was to advance to the spatial rift and force the main forces of the demons to fight from the depths of Darkness Ridge.

Tao Jinghong, True Monarch Ku An, Patriarch Xuan Huo, and Chun Lingjun were the six Celestial Realm experts in charge of this battle. Even if a Thousand Demon Realm First Grade Demonic Dragon tore open the void and directly broke into Cloud Continent, they might not be able to gain any advantage under the suppression of the spatial laws.

If the main forces of the demons did not come out from the depths of Darkness Ridge, the sects would be able to seal the spatial rift and obtain a preliminary victory.

Chen Xun didn’t even have the luxury of being able to deal with the threat of a demonic calamity.

God-controller Mansion had sent people to lead the two previous battles with the demons. However, in both battles, there had been a major loss of consciousness, resulting in hundreds of thousands of cultivators dying under the feet of the demons in the Northwest Domain.

This time, Chun Lingjun, who represented God-controller Mansion, was the main general, but Dragon Gate Sect, Xuandu Sect, Qing Palace, and Wushan Sect did not budge in the formulation and implementation of specific strategies and tactics, and would never listen to God-controller Mansion’s orders.

In fact, the Southeast Sect led by Dragon Gate Sect, the Northern Sect led by Xuandu Sect, the Qing Palace, and Wushan were the absolute main forces in this battle.

As long as these four clans were firmly clasped together, Chun Lingjun could only “listen to good advice as if it were flowing.”

The twenty thousand soldiers of the Spirit Heaven Army, together with the reinforcements gathered from other regions, were slightly stronger than Mountain Parasol.

If Chun Lingjun could not be “obedient”, he would be kicked to the side.

Although Mysterious Fire Ancestor and Spring Mausoleum Monarch were close, they didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest when it came to major issues of right and wrong.

In the previous two battles with the demons, hundreds of sects had been destroyed, and more than a billion people had been reduced to blood food in the bellies of the demons. Patriarch Black Fire had many schemes in his heart, but he did not dare to risk the lives of his thousands of disciples and grandchildren.

******************

As long as there were no luck in the offensive and defensive path, there wouldn’t be so many dangers.

The first step for the sects to enter the Nest Darkness Ridge was to set up a large stronghold on the southern side of the spatial rift, right next to the mountains on the edge of Darkness Ridge, as a transit point for advancing towards the canyon where the spatial rift was located.

The demons must have guessed the intentions of the various sects in Cloud Continent long ago. Before the cultivators of the various sects moved, they had gathered a large number of demon soldiers and ghost soldiers in the southern mountains of the spatial rift.

If a small group of cultivators wanted to enter Darkness Ridge, the Yin Fiend Miasma was the most difficult problem to overcome.

As for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, thousands of war chariots, and hundreds of airborne warships, the Spiritual Qi within a radius of two to three thousand kilometers was stirred and surged over, instantly dispersing the Yin Fiend Miasma at the edge of Darkness Ridge.

The various chariots and spirit gathering restrictions refined by the Xuandu Sect, Dragon Gate Sect, and Mountain Parasol were all completely embedded in defensive-level formations. Even if a large number of Yin Fiend Demonic Tribulations converged into the spirit gathering restrictions, their impact on the cultivators who were in charge of the formation within the chariots was still limited.

Apart from the Eight Desolate Flag, the Profound Capital Sect and the Dragon Gate Sect also possessed a few Heavenly Artifacts that could attract Earth Vein Profound Fiends.

Although Darkness Ridge was already an extremely cold region, there were still lava and earthflames hidden deep underground. Using the Earth-shaking Talisman to shatter the earth’s crust and trigger the lava and earthflames could also disperse the Yin Fiend Miasma.

In short, gathering the strength of so many sects and clans, there were many ways and means to think of it.

Chen Xun stood on the enormous wings of the Red Sea and watched as thousands of Xuandu Cult disciples wearing black armor quickly descended from the floating boat.

The Xuandu Sect had also invested enormous resources in this battle. They had been preparing for several decades, waiting for today to shine brightly.

Each copper city template weighed more than ten million jin, and when pieced together, it could quickly form a copper city that was a thousand feet in radius.

The entire copper city would probably take tens of billions of kilograms of pure copper to forge. The walls were densely engraved with Diamond Profound Elemental Talismans. After absorbing spiritual energy, every single point and side of the city wall’s defense was comparable to Earth-ranked spiritual armor within an hour. The formation restrictions created by the sixteen towers around the copper city could even directly connect to the earth veins.

Although the tower formation was unable to draw out an incomparably vast amount of Xuanming baleful energy from the earth vein, Copper City was directly connected to the earth vein after landing. Once landed, it would take root. Even the Earthquake Dao Talisman was unable to shake Copper City.

Even if the demons had Demon Marshals and Demon Masters, if they didn’t want to get close to Copper City, they would only be able to destroy parts of Copper City in a short period of time. Moreover, the cultivators from the various sects gathered in Copper City couldn’t stand idly by and watch.

As one of the seven sects that divided Cloud Continent and the first sect in the Northern Region, the Xuandu Sect had three Celestial Realm experts. Naturally, their family background was extremely solid, and it was not something that Mountain Parasol, who had suddenly risen to prominence, could compare to.

There seemed to be no formations within Copper City, but they were extremely useful in such large-scale battles.

If it was Mountain Parasol, he wouldn’t have done anything else and would have gathered all the resources of a hundred or two hundred years. Perhaps, he would have been able to forge such a bronze city.

Of course, if the Yi Clan’s War Soul Palace could be restored to its original state, it would naturally be a hundred times stronger than the copper city in front of him.

At that time, when they encountered such a “small scene” in front of them, they didn’t even need to fight. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were hiding in the Yi Clan’s War Soul Hall and directly flew over. They could snatch over any strategic location in the blink of an eye.

The Yi Clan’s War Soul Hall was simply not a powerful weapon that the sects of the Middle Thousand Heavens Region could resist.

Back then, the Divine Night Sect’s Mountain Suppressing Treasure, the Crimson Sun Palace, was only a hundred feet in radius.

In terms of size, the Crimson Sun Palace only had a few percent of the outer race’s War Soul Palace. Not to mention the formation restrictions inside the outer race’s War Soul Palace that were at the peak of the ninth level of the Pure Yang Dao Weapon, the Crimson Sun Palace only had five layers of formation restrictions.

Pure Yang Dao Artifacts were a great leap forward compared to ordinary Dao Artifacts, and different Pure Yang Dao Artifacts were extremely different.

A three-level formation restriction could be called a heaven-ranked magic treasure, but only a magic treasure with four to nine-level formation restrictions could be considered a pure Yang Dao artifact. The difference between a four-level formation restriction and a nine-level formation restriction was so great that it was like comparing a talisman artifact with a heaven-ranked magic treasure.

The Pure Yang Dao Weapon was divided into six stages according to the number of restrictions within the formation.

The Seven Treasures God Refining Pagoda in the hands of the Azure Scaled Race and the Mountains and Rivers Painting in the hands of Chun Lingjun were only First Grade Pure Yang Dao Artifacts.

The real map of mountains and rivers in the hands of the Jiang royal clan was a fifth grade pure Yang grade ancient treasure. Legend has it that it was obtained from a spirit vein in the Heavenly Jun Realm and refined into a painting.

Such a precious treasure was extremely rare in the Heavenly Jun Realm.

The Crimson Sun Palace was a Second Grade Pure Yang Dao Weapon, the Profound General Seal in Chen Xun’s hand was a Third Grade Pure Yang Dao Weapon, and the Yi Clan’s War Soul Palace was the highest grade Sixth Grade Pure Yang Dao Weapon.

The pile of Profound Origin Sacred Tombstones in the War Soul Hall that couldn’t be shattered further was even more a Xiantian spirit treasure that surpassed the Pure Yang Dao Weapon.

The Profound Origin Sacred Tombstone was shattered to the point that it could no longer be shattered. If the Yi Clan’s War Soul Hall wanted to restore to its original state, it needed to obtain a Heaven and Earth Grade Mountain Protection Formation to open a spatial passage connecting to the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm at the southern foot of Tianzhu Peak and lure the Heavenly Flame Astral Fiend from the Heavenly Volcano underground.

Now is not the time to dream about it.

The war drums were beating in front of him, and Chen Xun stepped on the enormous wings of the Scarlet Sea, causing him to fly forward.

Of course, Chen Xun could fly above the Yin Fiend Miasma’s Darkness Ridge, but Chen Xun wasn’t afraid that others would laugh at him for saving a bit of True Essence magic power in the current battle with the demons.

In order to protect Xuandu Sect disciples from assembling Copper City at the fastest speed in the mountainous area on the edge of Darkness Ridge, and form a base that could support Darkness Ridge’s advance and retreat, the various sects’ forces had already advanced layer upon layer into the depths of Darkness Ridge’s Hundred Miles.

Further north was a rocky mountain range. The Yin Fiend Devil Miasma had been wiped out, but the barren Wu Heishan Rock seemed to have been splashed with ink. The temperature was also extremely cold.

Shouts of slaughter could be faintly heard from ahead. Chen Xun frowned slightly as he let Chi Hai sail towards the direction where the war drums were beating.

According to the war drums, tens of thousands of demon soldiers and ghost soldiers had rushed out of the canyon in the direction of the four sects in Mountain Parasol.

Zhao Cheng’en and Hu Tai Yan stayed in charge of the formation, and Ji Lie immediately rushed to the vanguard to participate in the battle.

Chen Xun did not assume the responsibility of commanding the army. He used the Fire Ape Demon Ape, Beixuan Armor, Black Tea, and Chi Hai as mobile forces to contact the Xuandu Sect, Dragon Gate Sect, and Prince Qing’s Manor.

This was to prevent any major loopholes from appearing in the direction the four clans were responsible for. With the mobile elites that could move forward quickly, they could reinforce each other as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Dragon Gate Sect, the Qing Palace, and the Xuandu Sect were all calm. The Mountain Parasol Vanguard had already engaged the Demon Armament and Ghost Soldiers. Chen Xunxian was fine, so he naturally rushed to the front to kill the demons and relieve the pressure on the disciples of the Vanguard Array.

The vanguard array had already advanced to the front of a canyon. Six thousand armored soldiers surrounded thirty Profound Thunder Chariots and occupied a stone ridge to build a vanguard defense line.

Thousands of magical creatures were surging from the valley to the south like tides. Although the number of skeletal demons that were more than ten zhang tall was not large, they were still mixed among the many magical creatures, and their auras were still extremely terrifying.

Ji Lie was in charge of the vanguard array, but he hadn’t made a move yet. Su Tang, Qianlan, Lei Wanhe, and the others were filled with sword qi, and the Big Dipper Profound Armaments were also used to tear apart the magical creatures that flooded out from the gorge like a flood.

Qing Xuan threw the Ancient Blue Lotus Lamp over her head and shot out a pale purple Li Fire Spirit Dizziness, covering her entire body. However, she drove the puppet demon weapon that she had initially refined to kill the thousands of demon soldiers and ghost soldiers that surged out of the canyon like a cutting machine.

Su Tang took out the Mysterious Weapon Seal and directly transformed into a Mysterious Weapon Technique, guarding the mountain range. Azure Phoenix circled above Su Tang’s head. Seeing someone break through the defensive line and force Su Tang’s body, Azure Phoenix charged forward and spat out a ball of flames to engulf the demon soldier.

Qianlan’s body was surrounded by 9,981 spirit swords. Lightning flickered, and thunder surged. Snow-white sword lights emerged from the sword formation and slashed towards the magical creatures that had poured into the foot of the mountain.

Low-grade magical creatures only had the instinct to devour and kill blood. When they saw the humans here, they could hear strange sounds coming from their throats. They rushed towards Shi Ling, who was defended by the three thousand armored soldiers, regardless of their own safety.

No matter how strong the puppet demon soldier is, it is impossible to defend the defensive line that stretches for more than ten kilometers without leaking a single drop of water. A large number of demon soldiers bypassed the puppet demon soldier and directly attacked Shi Ling. They need the Azure Water Armor Guard and other disciples to defend with all their might …

Chang Xi hadn’t made a move yet. She stood on the ridge ridge and watched the battle on her left and right.

Within the barren stone ridge, behind Chang Xi, a spiritual tree soared into the sky, revealing dense spiritual energy to disperse the Yin Fiend Devil Miasma. At the same time, it revealed a faint green spiritual light shield to protect the three thousand armored soldiers inside.

It was only a spell that covered two to three thousand square meters. Su Xi, who had boundless magic power, could not support her for long. Although Chen Xun had specially given Chang Xi a bottle of Yuan Gathering Spirit Bottle that was filled with Yuan Liquid, he could not waste it too early.
