Chapter 222: Divine Spirit as the Vanguard! Those Who Block Me, Die!

"Mo Shidi, what is at the bottom of the Heavenly Cavern?"

Upon learning that the Heavenly Cavern had not yet been opened, Su Changqing's thoughts immediately turned to it.

He only had three months to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm's apex.

If he were to cultivate normally, even in a place with extremely dense spiritual energy, it would still take at least a year.

Clearly, without some special opportunities during this period, his time would be far from sufficient.

But this legendary Heavenly Cavern might just be able to give him a boost.

"Senior Brother Changqing, do you know why those transcendent hidden families are called hidden?"

Mo Xiong explained, "Because the small worlds they inhabit, although on the continent, form their own heavens and earth."

"These small heavens that exist as spatial nodes originally came from the Heavenly Cavern."

With just these words, Su Changqing suddenly realized, "So this is the origin of the hidden families."

"That's right."

Mo Xiong nodded, expressing his admiration, "Why are hidden families so powerful?"

"Because the Heavenly Cavern is like a newborn, unexploited heaven and earth."

"Spiritual veins, rare treasures, exotic artifacts, and divine mines. Each Heavenly Cavern is a vast treasure trove."

"The most important thing..."

Mo Xiong paused, his eyes burning with intensity as he said, "These newly opened heavens and earth will have extremely dense primordial essence."

"These spiritual energies are limited in quantity, and in the future, they won't be able to nurture, only the first batch of creatures that enter can absorb them."

"These primordial essences are not only of extraordinary quality, but they can also transform bones and tendons, enhance potential, and are even more effective than the Celestial Demon Pool was in the past."

"The reason why the demon and human races have been in constant conflict is largely due to the competition for these primordial essences."

Su Changqing's heart stirred upon hearing this.

What he lacked the most was spiritual energy, and with sufficient resources, his cultivation would rapidly increase.

However, after further thought, he frowned slightly and said, "That's not right."

"With the presence of peak masters and sect leaders, how can disciples get a chance to participate?"

"Among the injured sent here, there isn't even a single elder. Aren't they participating?"

Mo Xiong shook his head, "The Heavenly Cavern has just appeared, and in the future, even more powerful blessed lands will descend. It's too early for figures at the elder level to enter the fray."

"The two races have had negotiations, and cultivators above the King Realm are not allowed to intervene to prevent the situation from getting out of control."

"Whether it's the Heavenly Cavern or blessed lands, the strongest participants can only be at the Divine Law Realm, the highest level."

"In the current situation, the Divine Law leads, the Divine Appearance commands, the Divine Spirit is the vanguard, and the Divine Body is the soldier."

"The core strength that determines a battle doesn't lie in those powerful individuals but in the middle-tier forces of the new generation."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing no longer hesitated and walked straight towards Elder Sun, who was nearby.

"What's the matter, Changqing?"

Seeing Su Changqing's arrival, Elder Sun showed no arrogance and asked with a smile, treating him as an equal.

"Elder Sun, may I ask you to take me to the battlefield of the Heavenly Cavern?"

Su Changqing looked around and said, "Currently, most of the injured from the Elixir Peak have stabilized, and there's not much need for me to stay here."

"I want to go to the battlefield of the Heavenly Cavern; it's more suitable for me!"

If elders were to participate, it wouldn't matter whether Su Changqing went or not participate or not. Even if he did, he probably wouldn't dare to get close.

But if the strongest participants on the battlefield are only at the Divine Law Realm, then with his strength, he could indeed venture there.

Not to mention turning the tide of battle, but at the very least, at the Divine Spirit Realm, he believed he had no rivals!

"You, a healer, want to go to the front lines?"

Elder Sun paused, then patted his forehead.

He suddenly remembered that Su Changqing possessed formidable combat strength, not much weaker than his medical skills.

After all, he was a direct disciple of Wu Jiuling!

"Elder Sun, I want to go too!"

Mo Xiong wiped the blood from his face and said solemnly, "When I left, the Little Immortal Sect was at a disadvantage."

"There are too many demon cultivators, although they are mostly ordinary cultivators, far inferior to our sect's combat strength, but it's hard to fight against so many."

"I'm not injured, and I can still help out."

Upon hearing this, many of the friends and family who had accompanied the injured also spoke up, wanting to join.

Most of them were uninjured or had minor injuries, and they had left the battlefield primarily out of concern for their friends' safety. Now that the injured were stable, they were planning to return anyway.

However, with the help of an elder, they could save a lot of time.

Elder Sun scanned the crowd.

There were quite a few people, numbering over a hundred, most of them at the Divine Body or Divine Vision Realm, with a few at the Divine Appearance Realm.

Together, they could play a significant role even on the battlefield.

"Alright, I'll escort you there!"

Without hesitation, Elder Sun waved his wide sleeve, enveloping everyone with his powerful spiritual force, and they rushed towards the distant mountain.

...

A thousand miles north of the Little Immortal Sect, at Starplucking Mountain.

The mountain, rarely visited by humans, was now filled with the sounds of battle and the stench of blood.

Looking ahead, the two forces on the massive peak were locked in fierce combat.

Their goal was singular: the peak of Starpluck Mountain, where the dazzling space node shone like a star.

"Slaughter!"

"Wu Yong, lead your men to charge to the summit first. Don't let the demons get there before us. I'll hold them off from behind!"

Miao Feng's eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes filled with malice, and her overwhelming inferno blocked the demons' retreat.

"What are you talking about? With so many demons, they'll swarm you. Stick with the team; don't get isolated!"

Wu Yong, covered in blood, spoke as he stomped heavily, unleashing endless formation patterns and a murderous aura that soared. He slashed through the demons.

At this moment, Starpluck Mountain was divided into three battlefields.

One was the Divine Body Realm, where they gathered at the mountain's base, fighting to prevent the other side from reaching the summit.

Another was the Divine Law Realm, with powerful auras and astonishing combat strength, blocking the other side's elite forces.

The most intense battle was between the mid-level powers of the Divine Spirit and Divine Vision Realms.

Leading their teams, they charged straight for the summit of Starpluck Mountain, vying for the best position in the Divine Cave, completely blocking the other side.

Both sides were bloodthirsty, their eyes filled with crimson, their bodies surrounded by surging spiritual power, engaging in an all-out battle.

However, it was evident that the demons had an absolute advantage.

The demons, with their terrifying numbers, firmly suppressed the humans.

The mountain was filled with demons, especially the numerous snakes, making everyone's bones chill, and they couldn't be killed off.

"This is troublesome. There are too many demons. Even if the disciples are all Celestial Talents, they can't hold back so many demons."

Wu Feng's brows furrowed as he looked towards the summit of Starpluck Mountain, "The Divine Cave is about to open. The demons will reach the peak first."

"Once they guard the entrance to the Divine Cave, it'll be difficult to break through."

Miao Ba sighed, "We found out too late. It's too late to call for help from the South Domain."

"The demons have too many small demons. Even if they're all ordinary demons, they'll wear down the Celestial Talents."

The nearby Mo Feng frowned at the battlefield, then spoke in a deep voice, "There's still a chance."

"The low-level Divine Body Realm is dominated by the demons, but the Divine Spirit and Divine Vision cultivators can make up for the gap. It depends on whether Miao Feng and the others can withstand the pressure and reach the peak together with the demons."

The others remained silent, clearly not optimistic.

From their perspective, the vast Starpluck Mountain was completely surrounded by demons.

Countless demons advanced step by step from the mountain's base, heading straight up.

Soon, the humans would be completely trapped in the demons' massive encirclement.

The demons also seemed to realize this, and many powerful demons smiled coldly, waiting to capture Starpluck Mountain.

But at that moment, from the distant horizon, a squad of over a hundred people rushed over.

"Stop! No one above the Four Realms is allowed to proceed!"

Sun Elder appeared, and an icy anger arose from the demons, with hidden killing intent.

"I can only escort you this far."

Sun Elder frowned, "You're too late. It's difficult for you to climb the mountain now."

Mo Xiong and the others glanced at the current situation, their faces slightly changing.

"There's only one way."

A Divine Vision Realm cultivator spoke solemnly, "We must move at extreme speed, carving out a blood path through the demons' encirclement!"

"Don't stop for a moment. Once our forward speed slows, we're doomed. We'll be overwhelmed by the demons."

6◇9◇9◇

Looking at the dense layers of snakes on Starpluck Mountain, everyone couldn't help but swallow, their faces showing hesitation.

"Zhao Shixiong's tactic is simple, but who will be the 'spearhead'?"

Mo Xiong smiled bitterly, "The person at the forefront must be strong enough, or we won't break through."

"They must also have strong endurance; otherwise, they won't withstand the endless demon attacks."

"And this person must have lasting stamina. If they tire halfway, everyone will have to wait for death."

"Who will take this leading position?"

After these words, everyone looked at each other, afraid to speak recklessly.

Even the strongest Divine Vision Realm cultivators hesitated, not daring to make a decision.

After all, it wasn't just about their lives but also the lives of over a hundred followers.

If their negligence led to the deaths of over a hundred people, the sin would be immense.

Without an invincible belief and without solid skills, no one dared to take this leading position.

As the situation on Starpluck Mountain rapidly deteriorated, and no one stepped forward, Su Changqing stepped out.

"Everyone, trust me!"

At this moment, Su Changqing's eyes flashed like lightning, and his towering body resembled a majestic mountain, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Everyone remained silent, clearly not convinced by Su Changqing's Divine Spirit Realm cultivation.

"I believe!"

Suddenly, Mo Xiong smiled and stepped behind Su Changqing, "I'll follow you!"

"To fight alongside the world-shaking prodigy, if we don't die today, I'll make a name for myself in the Minor Immortal Sect!"

As the first two joined, over a hundred disciples of the Minor Immortal Sect didn't miss a beat, all standing behind Su Changqing.

At this moment, they believed in not Su Changqing's combat prowess, but his identity!

A High Sovereign Apex disciple, the first on Heaven's Pride List, such an identity and status, would never send them to their deaths.

As the first disciple said, this position, besides Su Changqing, no one else would suffice.

"Everyone."

Su Changqing turned to the crowd behind him, his gentle demeanor swept away, instead, he laughed boldly and freely:

"This little scene won't take our lives, if we die, let it be on the Emperor's Road!"

"Today, follow me and forge a path forward!"

"Kill!"

As his words fell, a vast fire ignited around Su Changqing, and a terrifying power erupted from within his body.

He raised his right arm, clenching the void tightly, countless intricate Dao patterns condensed in his palm, and a perfect giant axe appeared in his hand.

Without any hesitation, Su Changqing took the lead, exuding the might of a thousand men, and stepped onto Starpluck Mountain!

...

"Is that... Changqing?"

The hundred-person squad rushed towards Starpluck Mountain, and this eye-catching scene instantly caught Miao Ba's attention.

He stared for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly: "A hundred-person squad dares to charge the mountain, can they hold back the dense horde of demons?"

"With a Divine Spirit Realm cultivator leading them, can they withstand the onslaught of those demons?"

Miao Ba and the others instantly understood Su Changqing's intention.

Attempting to tear through the demon horde and forge a bloody path.

But the leader was only a Divine Spirit Realm cultivator, Su Changqing, with such cultivation, how far could he lead them?

"Hey, this kid has become stronger again."

Wu Feng, the Peak Master, smiled, his eyes carrying a hint of admiration: "His power, compared to the beginning, has increased at least tenfold!"

"Don't be fooled by his realm, this kid's combat strength, is probably terrifying."

Several Peak Masters beside him, all revealed astonishment, and then looked towards the foot of the mountain.

They also wanted to see, how much stronger Su Changqing had become after two months.

"Is that Su Changqing?"

When Miao Ba and the others noticed Su Changqing's sudden movement, the demons also sensed it.

The Little Peng Wang didn't come today, but the Divine Ape and Dark Serpent Patriarchs had arrived.

Su Changqing's earlier disturbance at the Demon Pool, driving away countless ferocious beasts, had long been etched into their minds.

"You've come at the right time."

The Divine Ape Patriarch revealed a cold smile: "Today, we'll make sure he dies on Starpluck Mountain!"

The Dark Serpent Patriarch's cold gaze fixed on Su Changqing, his forked tongue slightly protruding,

"Kill him!"

The entire mountain range of snake demons, as if receiving a command, swarmed towards Su Changqing and his group.

Starpluck Mountain, at its foot.

Su Changqing led the way, several Divine Body Realm cultivators followed closely, with the Divine Spirit Realm cultivator bringing up the rear.

Everyone stepped onto Starpluck Mountain.

In an instant, countless demons turned around, rushing towards the group.

The dense horde of snake demons, laughing maliciously as they approached, everywhere they looked, they saw enemies.

Their gazes even dimmed, as layer upon layer of demons tore at them.

Mo Xiong and the others' hands gripping their weapons began to sweat, tightening their grip again and again.

Their eyes, at this moment, were all fixed on the figure ahead, shrouded in flames, standing tall.

Suddenly, the young man raised his axe high, his upper body's clothes exploded, and a terrifying power erupted from above.

"Heaven Splitting!"

Su Changqing roared, and the Heaven Splitting Axe burst forth with dazzling light.

The axe's intricate patterns glowed brightly, strands of light crisscrossed, until a dazzling radiance emerged from the cold blade.

Boom!

Everything in the world seemed to dim, only a single extremely bright light flashed by, and the boundless sharpness of the axe caused the surrounding hundred-zhang mountain to collapse.

The several-hundred-zhang axe light followed intricate trajectories, shooting through the void.

The mountain body crumbled inch by inch, leaving behind a deep chasm, and the howling wind accompanied the axe light, as it appeared, a path was carved through the horde of demons.

There was no rumbling sound, no sound of collision.

That axe light, carrying boundless power and extreme sharpness, was like slicing through layers of thin cloth, and the countless demons' bodies were torn apart, shooting into the distance.

The demons, who were initially laughing maliciously, when their bodies shook, burst into a sea of blood.

One after another, the demons' bodies were split in two, and the dense horde, which was initially impenetrable, was instantly cut open, revealing a wide path.

This path, covered in blood and corpses, led straight to the peak of Starpluck Mountain.

All the demons simultaneously revealed boundless fear, as if they had brushed shoulders with the God of Death.

Miao Ba and the others were shocked, and then, in their joy, burst into laughter.

The crowd, who were initially nervous, at this moment, each exuded a formidable aura.

Su Changqing held the axe in one hand, leading the group forward with mighty strides, and his murderous roar echoed throughout Starpluck Mountain.

"Those who block our path, die!"
