The Great Wild God - Chapter 502
Chapter 502 Miserable Defeat
Tao Jinghong, Ji Lie, Chang Xi, and the others arrived in time. The ivy twisted around them, and sword qi shot out like snow along the ridge towards the two wings. Thirty to forty experts above the Origin Core Realm of the various sects also stood on top of the ridge, using their magical artifacts and spirit swords to block the magical creatures that had escaped the net.
Only then was Chen Xun able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Chen Xun had used up his Essence Liquid to replenish his True Essence magic power, he had used up nearly two hundred Spirit Swords at the same time. His Spiritual Sense had also consumed a tremendous amount of energy. If it wasn’t for the fact that his Divine Soul cultivation had far surpassed that of a cultivator at the same realm, he wouldn’t have been able to last for so long.
Above his spiritual sea, although the Azure Lotus Primordial Spirit had already shown signs of collapse, the multicolored multicolored light flickered, but it did not dim in the slightest.
Only a fierce battle like this could fully unleash all of his potential. Chen Xun’s intuition was that his grasp of the Yin and Yang auras of the heavens and the earth had reached an even more subtle level. He felt that after this battle, his cultivation should be able to advance even further.
Jiang Yunxian, Adept Wu Yi, and Adept Yang Kun were all about to collapse from exhaustion. In a couple of incense sticks of time, it was as if they had gone through a hundred years.
Seeing that Chen Xun was actually able to stand up at this moment, they were extremely shocked. They truly didn’t know what kind of spirit medicine Chen Xun was consuming. To think that Chen Xun would be able to replenish his True Essence magic power so quickly, causing Chen Xun to exert the power of the sword formation to the maximum at all times.
If it wasn’t for the might of the sword formation, Jiang Yunxian, Adept Wu Yi, and Adept Yang Kun knew that they wouldn’t have escaped being swallowed by the demon army.
In just one incense stick of time, the magical creature under Chen Xun’s sword had to be at least twenty to thirty thousand.
Can a Celestial Realm expert display such a strong combat strength in such a short period of time?
Daoist Yang Kun knew that if he couldn’t replenish his True Essence Fa Li quickly, he wouldn’t be able to withstand such a consumption of True Essence Fa Li within a Celestial Realm expert’s body!
After a while of leisure, Adept Yang Kun couldn’t help but secretly examine the copper bottle on the lotus shaped base in Chen Xun’s hand. He really didn’t know what kind of spirit liquid it contained, and it actually had such a miraculous effect.
Although the Xuandu Sect had treasure pills that could replenish their True Essence magic power so quickly, they only refined a dozen of them after obtaining dragon blood from Mountain Parasol. Only Grand Elders like True Monarch Ku An would carry a few of them with them to prevent any harm.
Daoist Yang Kun couldn’t help but guess, could it be that the spirit liquid contained in Chen Xun’s bottle was also refined from a large amount of extremely precious spirit medicines such as dragon blood and red sage root spirit liquid?
Seeing that Daoist Yang Kun had noticed this, Chen Xun only smiled. The battle at the foot of the mountain was fierce, and he had no time to explain the matter of the Primordial Liquid and the Primordial Gathering Spirit Bottle.
However, Ji Lie, Tao Jinghong, and Chang Xi had to replenish their True Essence magic power with their Essence Liquid to maintain their peak combat strength at all times. I believe that it won’t be long before someone will contact their Essence Liquid even if they don’t give an explanation.
At this moment, the Spring Mausoleum Lord retreated from the foot of the mountain. His face was ashen as he sat on a rock. Only a dozen of his direct descendants followed him out of the encirclement. The Spirit Heaven Army also had a large number of ordinary soldiers who were being swallowed up by the demon army.
Spring Mausoleum Monarch’s dozen direct retainers’ eyes were dim, indicating that all of his True Essence magic power had been exhausted. At this time, he had no choice but to retreat to the back array and slowly replenish his consumption after consuming the pills.
Chen Xun sat quietly by the side and adjusted his breathing. Seeing that the Mountain River Diagram in Chun Lingjun’s hand was missing a corner, he sneered in his heart. If Chun Lingjun really had the courage, he might have managed to break through more of his direct descendants into the Mountain River Diagram. However, he chose to let the artifact spirit Azure Flood Dragon self-detonate so that he could better break out of the encirclement.
All the forces of the various sects that had been defeated by the demon army and experts above the Origin Core Realm were the targets of the demons’ siege. From the looks of it, only two of the seven Dharma Realm experts had escaped, and only five of the 41 Origin Core Realm experts had escaped. The rest had either died or were being entangled by Heavenly Yao level demons. Demon Marshal Crimson Flame Ming also entered the center of the battlefield, urging the Dragon Demon with hundreds of millions of Blood Devouring Demon insects to charge towards him.
The Blood Devouring Demonic Beetles were too fierce. The demonic mist covered them, and many of the disciples would be devoured in an instant, leaving behind only thick white bones. Only when Tao Jinghong once again used the Thousand Autumn Frost Dao Art did he block the Blood Devouring Demonic Beetles dozens of kilometers away, not daring to enter another inch.
The golden-armored battle general formed by the Fire-Winged Demonic Ape and True Monarch Ku An worked together to force the flood dragon demon to stop.
The Profound Fire Ancestor had used up all of his true essence, so he had no choice but to retreat and take a pill to recover.
Fortunately, more and more Origin Core Realm cultivators entered the ridge ridge, and ordinary disciples also boarded airships to form battle formations relying on various terrain and chariots, finally stopping the attacks of the demon army.
At this moment, Tao Jinghong didn’t care about the extremely precious Primordial Liquid. He swallowed it in large mouthfuls, destroying his True Primordial Fate. Soon, it was covered by snow and ice for dozens of kilometers along the ridge of the two wings.
If it wasn’t for the Yin Fiend Miasma that surged through the air, Chen Xun would have suspected that they were in the snow ridge of Zhou Wushan.
“Why are you and True Monarch Tao taking the same kind of spirit medicine in the same strange copper bottle?” Princess Jiang Yunxian was a little familiar with it, and she had doubts in her heart, so she came forward and directly asked Chen Xun.
In fact, both Ji Lie and Chang Xi were using Essence Liquid to replenish their True Essence mana.
Apart from the Essence Liquid, the most effective pill that Mountain Parasol consumed to replenish his mana was the Qianyuan Ruyi Pill. However, even if it was a Qianyuan Ruyi Pill refined from dragon blood and a variety of spirit medicines, Chen Xun would still need half an hour to replenish it after he had exhausted his True Essence mana.
Of course, the Qianyuan Ruyi Pill could replenish one’s life essence, blood essence, and divine soul consumption, but it was not as good as the primordial liquid.
Chen Xun saw that the Spring Mausoleum Lord looked gloomy. He perfunctorily said to Jiang Yunxian, “This is a spirit liquid that Mountain Parasol and Dragon Gate Sect disciples accidentally discovered in the Falling Star Sea. Unfortunately, it is extremely rare. I have already used up all of this in my hand. When I have time to go to the Falling Star Sea next time, I will gather more and offer it to Imperial Daughter.”
Jiang Yunxian curled her lips and said nothing.
Jiang Junyuan waited for the true essence in his body to recover a little, then he drove the Escape Light and rushed down.
He was unwilling!
Chun Ji died in battle. His wings and flesh were all devoured by the demonic insects. Xia Ji was almost beaten to death. Guo Gongtu’s soul was destroyed but he was unable to retreat. Thirteen Origin Core warriors died. He even lost his underwear. How could he compete for the throne with Jiang Lan?
Wei Xuan let out a bitter sigh. Who would have thought that the demons would ambush a large number of soldiers in the demonic array barrier they attacked?
There were no problems with the left wing or the middle wing, and even the right wing’s Black Flame Sect’s vanguard array didn’t encounter any problems, but they were the ones who were ambushed by the demons?
Could it be that the demons didn’t want to see Chun Lingjun inherit the throne, so they deliberately targeted them?
In addition, one of the Spirit Heaven Army generals who could not be considered the direct descendant of the Spring Mausoleum Lord had also lost seven Origin Core realm generals.
Under the God-controller Mansion system, the Spirit Heaven Army was directly under Jiang Junwen’s control. The twenty thousand troops of the Spirit Heaven Army were almost annihilated. No matter how many of the casualties were not of Chun Lingjun’s direct descent, it was a heavy blow to them.
Wei Xuanzhen didn’t even know how heavy the blow to Chun Lingjun’s reputation was. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have come to this muddy water.
******************
Demon Marshal Chi Huoming probably also saw that there was no way he could take advantage of the situation. After the human cultivators in the encirclement were almost annihilated, the demon army began to shrink northward, and the distance between the two gradually widened.
At this moment, the allied forces of the various sects finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they hadn’t expected the demons to ambush heavily on the right-wing rampart, the allied forces of the various sects rushed to gather reinforcements on the right-wing.
The demon army shrank back, and the allied forces of the various sects were not prepared to advance quickly. The battle could only end temporarily and return to the established rhythm.
Chen Xun’s divine sense was extremely exhausted. He still needed to retrieve the Eight Desolate Flag that had taken root on the ground and stay under the ridge. He did not participate in the sporadic contact battles that followed.
The army that Chun Lingjun was in charge of had a total of more than 50,000 people when they left Copper City. In the end, less than 12,000 people escaped. Apart from the 18,000 plus Spirit Heavenly Army, the rest of the 40,000 people who died were reinforcements from the Eastern Region Profound Heaven Sect and other sects.
The main reason for their defeat was that they hadn’t expected the demons to ambush them, while the reinforcements from Xuandu Sect, Xuanhuo Sect, Mountain Parasol, Prince Qing’s Manor, and Dragon Gate Sect had done their utmost in time.
If it weren’t for Chen Xun, True Monarch Ku’an, and Patriarch Black Flame desperately defending the path of the collapsed army, and if it weren’t for Tao Jinghong, Ji Lie, and the others rushing to help, they would have been able to escape from the flood of the demon army by at most 1,000 to 2,000 people in the end.
Some of the twelve thousand people who had broken out of the encirclement had their hearts completely collapsed. They only wanted to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and retreat to Copper City, which was a thousand miles away, to rest and recuperate. Some people became even more resolute, demanding that they stay behind and continue to fight side by side with the middle and left-wing armies.
The demon army shrank to the north of the Evil Ghost Gorge, leaving behind a pile of remains in the open valley.
Previously, there were 30,000 to 40,000 casualties among the disciples of the left wing and the middle path. However, due to the formation adjustment, fewer than 4,000 people had truly died in this battle. Most of them had suffered serious injuries and had returned to Zhou Wushan to recover in time through Copper City.
The defeat of the right wing could be said to be the first tragic defeat since the Black Yin Ridge. Although it did not affect the overall situation, the morale of the Alliance Army of the various sects was somewhat affected.
It took Chen Xun three days to comprehend the Dao of the Evolution of Yin and Yang before he cut off the Earth Vein’s Profound Nether Qi and pulled up the Eight Desolate Flag that had taken root on the ground. However, it was much faster than the Eight Desolate Flag that was pulled up by the Marquis Yuan’s Manor back then.
After Chen Xun finished his work here, he rushed to meet up with the main forces of the Xuandu Sect, including the Fire Winged Demonic Ape, Black Tea, and Chang Xi.
After controlling the mountains around the Evil Ghost Gorge, he cleared the final obstacle to the Evil Ghost Gorge’s advance.
Apart from Mountain Parasol, the Qing Palace and Dragon Gate Sect maintained their momentum to attack the Evil Ghost Gorge on the left. The remaining forces of the Profound Fire Sect and the other sects merged into the middle path, preparing to advance from the middle path to the Evil Ghost Gorge and fight to the death with the main forces of the demons.
In the camp of the middle army, there was no sign of Chun Lingjun. After seeing Daoist Chu Yue, Chen Xun knew that the various sects were responsible for jointly requesting Chun Lingjun to take charge of Zhou Wushan. Even the reserve troops stationed in Copper City did not want him to have the chance to interfere.
