Chapter 507: The Great Battle of Thunder Drum Plain! (Part 2)
Before they even got close, Night Xiang took out a brown-yellow talisman.
"The universe is boundless, and the laws of heaven and earth are just."
"Seal!"
He slapped the talisman fiercely.
Instantly, a powerful suppressing force appeared in the universe, and the ten directions of space seemed to turn into a swamp.
In an instant, the Black Wolf King's movements became sluggish.
In his astonishment, a golden light flashed through his eyes, piercing the void.
And at that moment!
"Awooo..."
On the peak of the mountains, a giant Demon Wolf with grey fur stood proudly.
As it howled, the mountains resonated, and the Thunder Drum Plain shook.
In an instant, the howling sound reverberated loudly.
Numerous human cultivators, who were fighting the Wolf Clan army, heard this eerie howl, and those with weaker souls stiffened involuntarily.
Then...
"Ah!"
"Uh!"
"Boom!"
In this brief moment of dullness, countless human cultivators, affected by the howl, were ruthlessly killed by their opponents.
Luo Chen, at the edge of the battlefield, wasn't affected.
However, when the three Wolf Kings appeared, his pupils constricted.
These three individuals quickly reversed the situation.
Especially the Grey Wolf King! Not only were his soul attacks powerful, but his soundwave attacks were also amplified by the battlefield! The mountains resonated, and the Thunder Drum Plain shook.
This was clearly borrowing the power of a natural array! "No wonder the Roaring Wolf Emperor doted on his third son, who didn't inherit his Glorious Golden Wolf bloodline. Although he didn't inherit the bloodline, he inherited the unique soul strength of the Glorious Golden Wolf, especially on the Thunder Drum Plain, making him a formidable weapon on the battlefield!"
"With the power of one person, he's no less formidable than the Heaven Sail Warship!"
"However, when they previously launched a night raid on Thousand Leaf Peak, they had already revealed this ability. Didn't the Falling Cloud Sect prepare for this?"
As Luo Chen was pondering this.
Ling Huo Jie suddenly leaped into the sky, his black robe fluttering beneath a sinister aura that captured hearts.
He pressed his hands against the ground and then grabbed fiercely.
In an instant, a tragic wind and rain, and the howls of ghosts and wolves, filled the air.
Amidst the endless blood-red, it seemed as if countless vengeful spirits and battle souls were being controlled, forming a massive black cloud that covered a hundred li.
"Hiss!"
"Such a strong divine sense and ruthless methods!"
Luo Chen was no stranger to this scene.
In the past, Ling Huo Jie could control the three Ghost Kings of the Great River Mansion.
Now, he even more ruthlessly controlled the countless souls that had just died on the battlefield.
Standing on the black cloud, Ling Huo Jie's black robe billowed wildly, and his eyes shone brilliantly, locking onto a small hill devoid of people.
"He's there!"
As he spoke, the black cloud covered the small hill.
At the same time, a sword came from the west, radiating a brilliance that defied description.
The cold ice was chilling, freezing heaven and earth.
Willows were lush, covering the mountains.
Under these three powerful attacks, a figure finally appeared on the small hill.
It was the Grey Wolf King!
It turned out that the one on the mountain peak wasn't his true body; this was his actual location.
Facing the siege of Ling Huo Jie, Lin Qingxuan, Jueqing Xianzi, and Nan Lanfeng, he remained unafraid.
With a low roar, he unleashed a layer of light, pushing back attacks from all directions, and then he was about to drill into the ground.
But at this very moment, a sinister and vicious attack suddenly emerged from the depths of the earth.
"Despicable!" a voice cried out. The Gray Wolf King roared in anger, his abdomen bearing a black palm print, and he was forced to fly into the sky.
As he retreated, a figure emerged from the depths of the earth, a masked man who regretfully retracted his hand.
"What a pity, its perception is too sharp. It was just a little bit off," the man said with disappointment.
Ling Huo Jie's calm voice sounded, "It doesn't matter. Bai Sun Dao Ren, since you've forced it out, you've done a great job. Next, we five will kill it in no time."
On the battlefield, the air was filled with the stench of blood and the cries of slaughter.
In a corner of a low hill, the five Golden Core Cultivators, led by Ling Huo Jie, surrounded the Gray Wolf King.
Facing this scene, the Gray Wolf King's massive wolf head showed no sign of great anger, but instead, a hint of self-satisfaction appeared.
"You thought you had ambushed me?"
"Wrong!"
"It's you who fell for our trap!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Huo Jie trembled and turned to look at the huge warship floating behind him.
Just at that moment, five powerful demonic auras burst out from the Ao Xiao Wolf Courtyard, rushing towards the Heaven Sail Warship.
A casual glance revealed that they were all Tier 3 Late-stage Great Demon Kings, and none of them were Demon Wolves.
There were eagles, pythons, ferocious tigers, leopards, and even a huge dragon!
On the outskirts of the battlefield, Luo Chen witnessed this scene, and his heart couldn't help but rise with anticipation.
Storm Eagle! Armored Python! Absolute Ferocious Tiger! Black Cloud Leopard! Cold Dragon!
These were all notorious for their ferocity and brutality among the demon beasts.
Especially since they had all cultivated to the Tier 3 Late-stage.
How could ordinary human Golden Core Cultivators possibly resist them? Only those at the 6th layer of the Golden Core or even the Late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivators could match them, or even suppress them.
"I knew it!"
"The strategic significance of the Heaven Sail Warship is too important, and it's so eye-catching that it will undoubtedly become the primary target of attacks."
"Staying on board is not a safe place."
After feeling relieved, Luo Chen also felt some concern.
Although the Heaven Sail Warship was powerful, it couldn't withstand the combined might of the five Great Demon Kings!
Once the warship was destroyed, the five Great Demon Kings would only need to turn around and deal with the others, wreaking havoc on the battlefield, and the balance of victory would tilt once again.
On the other side, Ling Huo Jie angrily said, "You actually borrowed the power of other barbaric mountain ranges?"
The Gray Wolf King was equally furious, "It was you humans who broke the agreement first. The original human-demon alliance treaty stated that one sect would face one domain, and each would rely on their own strength. For thousands of years, you humans have repeatedly crossed the boundaries, and numerous top sects have joined forces to attack us demons. This time, you even deployed nine Great Nascent Soul Upper Sages. How dare you, with your despicable nature, point fingers at us now?"
Facing this retort, Ling Huo Jie immediately suppressed his anger and shook his head disdainfully.
"No use talking, we are not of the same path, it's just a conflict of interests."
"Then let's fight! All five of you come at me, and I have nothing to fear!"
A great battle unfolded!
But it was clear that neither the Gray Wolf King nor the other two Demon Wolf Kings' battlefields were no longer the key to the outcome of the overall battle.
It was the Heaven Sail Warship that held the key!
As the five Great Demon Kings approached within a hundred li range and were about to launch their attack, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the lower deck of the Heaven Sail Warship.
"You fur-clad creatures dare to be so vicious? First, you must pass the test of the Star Moon Temple!"
The low roar echoed in all directions.
A figure like a bright moon rose from the warship, and as her power surged, speckles of pure white moonlight scattered.
Seeing this, someone exclaimed, "It's the Moon Goddess Messenger of the Star Moon Temple!"
Upon hearing this, everyone rejoiced.
The Star Moon Temple, a top-tier Golden Core Great Sect! Although it's called a temple, it has no temple master, only the Star and Moon Messengers.
These two messengers were both Late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivators, possessing profound and mysterious secret techniques.
It was rumored that during the Jade Emperor's Sword Discussion, the Jade Emperor privately discussed the Dao with guests, and he lost to the Moon Goddess Messenger.
At this moment, her appearance proved that the Falling Cloud Sect had made preparations in advance.
It was clear that the preparations went beyond this.
As the Moon Goddess Messenger appeared, seven more powerful auras soared into the sky.
The Tattered Daoist of the Fish Dragon Gang!
The Supreme Elder of the Dream Spring Cave!
The Supreme Elder of the Blazing Sun Sect!
The Sect Master of the Lotus Sect!
Chu Baihong, the Founding Ancestor of the White Rainbow Sect!
The Deputy Lord of the Returning Pearl Pavilion, Xiao Xiangzi!
And a strange Late-stage Golden Core Confucian Scholar.
Among these seven beings, the weakest was Chu Baihong, but he still possessed the strength of the 5th layer of the Golden Core.
The Tattered Daoist of the Fish Dragon Gang had reached the profound realm of the 8th layer of the Golden Core.
Especially the last strange Confucian scholar, whose current realm was as vast as the great sun, and his cultivation was both peaceful and majestic, unassailable.
At the 9th layer of the Golden Core, he was infinitely close to the Great Perfection! Together with the Moon Goddess Messenger, they formed the eight Golden Core powerhouses.
With eight against five, the advantage was on their side!
Seeing this, the five Great Demon Kings from other realms trembled in fear, and their previous fierce aura vanished.
Without any command, the five Great Demon Kings silently turned and fled in different directions.
They had arrived with great might, but now they fled in disarray.
Seven of the eight pursued them.
Only the Confucian scholar remained on the Heaven Sail Warship, solemnly overlooking the battlefield.
When his gaze fell upon the figure on the outskirts of the battlefield, he nodded amicably.
Luo Chen also nodded in acknowledgment.
In his heart, he sighed, "Even Haoranzi has joined the battle."
Haoranzi, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Wave Immortal City, was also the only successor of the Haoran Sect.
For hundreds of years, he had been stationed in the Heavenly Wave Immortal City.
It was only when the White Night Ruins appeared that he ventured out.
Now it seemed that his cultivation had improved, and he was infinitely close to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core.
His participation in the war, supporting the Falling Cloud Sect, had an easily guessable purpose.
It was likely that the Falling Cloud Sect had promised to allow him to borrow the 4th-stage Spirit Vein of the Howling Moon Mountains to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage after his Golden Core Perfection.
Luo Chen shook his head, putting aside these thoughts.
He glanced at Zeng Yilong, who had already killed the initial 2nd-stage Great Demon and was now fighting for his life against another 2nd-stage Demon Beast that he had chosen.
Although the situation was dangerous, he fought with increasing courage, showing no signs of fatigue.
With the appearance of the top cultivators from various sects, the human cultivators had gained an overwhelming advantage!
Whether it was high-level combat power or local low-level battles, the human side dominated.
On the main battlefield, the Demon Wolf army was in disarray and retreat.
Even a 3rd-stage Wolf King, pursued by two Golden Core Cultivators, was fleeing towards the outskirts of the battlefield.
The direction of the attack was towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen did not stand idly by.
"Since you've come, you might as well stay!"
With a swift movement, he unleashed a massive palm strike, forcefully pressing down.
The terrifying binding force, beneath the green glow, enveloped the Tier 3 Demon King.
The demon king's body stiffened, and two attacks were launched in perfect harmony.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the demon king's head was severed, its demon core was taken, and two figures came to a stop in front of Luo Chen.
"Friend Luo, your skills are impressive. With just one strike, you've left this mid-stage Tier 3 Demon King helpless."
The speaker was a petite and graceful woman.
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "I merely had the advantage of your help, Jade Jiaolong. If it weren't for you chasing him, he wouldn't have been so distracted, allowing me to easily suppress him."
Jade Jiaolong, a Dream Spring Cave cultivator with a Spirit Root.
As for the other person, Jade Jiaolong introduced him as a Golden Core Elder from Dream Spring Cave.
Jade Jiaolong smiled and glanced at the intense battle below, where Zeng Yilong was fighting.
"Hmm?"
"This battle technique, this transformation technique, is quite similar to your Wang Yuan's."
Luo Chen laughed, "You have a keen eye, Xiao Long is Wang Yuan's direct disciple."
Jade Jiaolong looked at him in surprise, taking a few more glances.
The Luo Tian Sect was quite peculiar, as every member seemed to favor the cultivation of physical strength.
Wang Yuan was like this, and so was Luo Chen. Even the younger disciples chose this path.
They seemed unaware that the path of physical cultivation had long declined, with its future almost completely blocked.
As the three of them chatted casually, it was as if they were not on a battlefield but at a banquet, leisurely sipping wine and engaging in light conversation.
This carefree attitude also indirectly indicated something.
The outcome of the battle was already decided!
With the participation of top experts from various sects, the strategic weapons like the Heaven Sail Warship and the Falling Cloud Sect's puppets controlling the overall situation, and their inherent strength far surpassing the Ao Xiao Wolf Courtyard, the battle was already one-sided.
Even with the assistance of external forces, the Ao Xiao Wolf Courtyard was no match for the human alliance.
As Luo Chen's gaze swept across the battlefield, he spotted the Tattered Daoist carrying a giant tiger head and flying back. He saw the Supreme Elder of Dream Spring Cave exerting all his strength in the undulating mountains, attempting to capture the Cold Dragon alive.
In the distance, a golden light was fleeing frantically, with Wei Wuya from Heaven Touching Cliff in hot pursuit.
The Black Wolf King, under the suppression of numerous talismans, was being continuously dismembered by Jin Bubuque's Golden Attribute Spell, looking utterly miserable. Its specialty in demon techniques was no match for the Five Elements Divine Sect's spells, like a firefly compared to the bright moon. Especially with the suppression of the Divine Talisman Sect's talismans.
The Gray Wolf King, skilled in soul attacks, had gone completely insane, constantly emitting sound wave attacks, causing a hundred-li radius to be devoid of low-level cultivators daring to approach.
It seemed like defeat was imminent.
Jade Jiaolong was also observing the battle, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected the grand battle to be this easy. It's almost over so quickly. I thought it would last at least ten days or half a month."
Her companion also sighed, "The nine great upper sects and eighteen Golden Core major sects jointly launching a war is a rare sight in the history of the Eastern Wasteland's wars, except for ancient times. If it weren't for the Ao Xiao Wolf Emperor's rise and his unification of the inner domain's wolf tribes, constantly borrowing reinforcements from the rear, we might not have needed even ten years to conquer the Howling Moon Mountains. Now, this one-day battle on Thunder Drum Plain truly showcases our strength."
Jade Jiaolong nodded.
Her gaze fell on the pensive Luo Chen, and she smiled, "Friend Luo, the Tier 3 Spirit Vein your Luo Tian Sect has secured is not far from our Dream Spring Cave on Seven Kings Mountain. We'll be neighbors from now on."
Luo Chen smiled, but his expression was somewhat forced.
Jade Jiaolong was curious, "Are you worried about something?"
Luo Chen replied with a hint of melancholy, "Cultivators at the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages can defend a territory, and we Golden Core cultivators can influence the battlefield. But to truly dominate a region, we still need the skills of a True Monarch!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them were taken aback.
Jade Jiaolong hesitated, "Are you saying the Roaring Wolf Emperor might intervene?"
The other person shook his head, "He probably won't. According to past customs, True Monarchs of Demon Kings rarely engage in life-and-death battles. Usually, the outcome is decided by the battles of those beneath them."
This was a customary practice.
Once cultivators reach the Nascent Soul Stage, their primary goal is to ascend to the Divine Transformation Stage.
They may fight for territory if they can, but if they can't, they won't risk their lives over it.
However, Luo Chen didn't see it this way.
It was evident that the Ao Xiao Wolf Court was an unusual organization among the scattered demon tribes.
For it to have reached its current state, it must have received support from other powerful beings in the Barbaric Mountain Range.
It didn't seem like the Roaring Wolf Emperor would willingly retreat, which was out of character for him.
Especially since he was known for his unpredictable actions and superior wisdom and strategies compared to ordinary cultivators.
As Luo Chen pondered this, a figure emerged from the low mountains, covered in blood, his voice hoarse and unable to produce powerful sound wave attacks.
Pfft!
A spray of blood was released.
He mustered his last bit of demonic energy and croaked towards the depths of the mountains, "Father Emperor, is our wolf court truly going to decline here?"
The mournful howl's true meaning was unknown.
But Luo Chen, a Golden Core cultivator, could understand the beast language.
Upon hearing this, his expression changed.
The next moment, a figure stepped out of thin air, wearing the Heavenly Flat Cap and a long golden robe, exuding an imperial aura.
With a casual wave, Ling Huo Jie and the other four were heavily injured and flew backward.
The Gray Wolf King's body rapidly shrank, transforming into a human-sized wolf, which he captured and made it kneel at his feet.
He was quite considerate, as the enemy's Nascent Soul cultivator had not killed low-level demons, and he maintained the dignity of a Demon Emperor.
He merely injured Ling Huo Jie and the other four, without taking their lives.
Stroking the gray wolf's blood-stained fur, the Roaring Wolf Emperor's gaze was deep, piercing through the dense crowd of cultivators, towards the human alliance's rear.
Under his gaze, the chaotic battlefield seemed to quiet down.
After a while, he spoke in a low voice.
"Han Zhan, it seems our battle is inevitable!"
There was no delay in the cold and sharp response, as if it came from the depths of the Nine Underworlds.
"I'll kill you to avenge the Falling Cloud Sect!"
A figure in blue soared into the sky.
The Roaring Wolf Emperor took a deep breath and pushed, sending the Gray Wolf King away as a streak of light, disappearing beyond a thousand miles.
As for himself, he transformed into golden light and soared into the sky!
At this moment, the wind and clouds raged, and the world trembled.
On Thunder Drum Plain, a loud rumble echoed, like a thundering drum, gripping everyone's hearts!
