Chapter 879: The Three Commanders, Ambush on Luo Chen

Chapter 879: The Three Commanders, Ambush on Luo Chen

At the heart of the Medicine King Domain, stood the once-mighty Mountain Gate of the Medicine King Sect.

However, after numerous wars against demons and humans, it had long fallen into disrepair.

At this moment, as Nascent Soul Realm masters fought over the Void Accumulating Flower, the surrounding area within several thousand li had been flattened, leaving no weak creatures alive.

The so-called opening war had become less important when it came to breaking through the Divine Transformation Realm.

Lower-level demon beasts and lower-level cultivators retreated, leaving the stage to the powerful cultivators of this generation.

A grand formation spread over ten li of land, enveloping everything within.

Inside, a nine-colored light river flowed turbulently, but no matter how it surged and twisted, it couldn't break through this formation, which was condensed from terrifying spiritual power.

Outside the formation.

Three Nascent Soul Realm masters stood together, their faces grave.

The Crane Emperor, with his narrow face and high cranium, spoke in a low voice, "This formation is purely connected by pure spiritual power, and it's not particularly ingenious. However, its essence is precisely the beauty of simplicity. Unless there's spiritual power greater than that of the five Demon Emperors combined, it will be difficult for us to break it from the outside."

Idle Crane Immortal trusted his companion's words, and facing this seemingly unsolvable situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

If it were just five ordinary Demon Emperors, it wouldn't be a problem.

But the main commander within the formation was the Ox Demon Overlord, a Great Demon Emperor! How could the spiritual power of an ordinary Nascent Soul True Man surpass his?

Even a Great Cultivator would have to consider the backlash of the formation after the Ox Demon gathered the spiritual power of the other four Demon Emperors.

Idle Crane Immortal sighed, "Why is Fellow Daoist Nine Spirits so persistent? The Void Accumulating Flower isn't even fully matured yet. What's the point of taking it? You're only risking your life!"

Qin Baixiang clenched his fist. If his Sunset Monkey were still alive, perhaps he could try to break this formation.

Unfortunately, the Sunset Monkey had perished in the human-demon war over a decade ago.

He had originally planned to help Fellow Daoist Nine Spirit hold the opening war, capture a few talented demon beasts with the Nine Spirit Lord's help, and bring them back for cultivation. Unexpectedly, the Nine Spirit Lord himself had fallen into a trap.

"By the way, where's Ling Feng Zi?"

Regarding this question, Idle Crane Immortal hesitated, "After leaving the Void Accumulating Secret Realm, Ling Feng Zi contacted the Pill Sect for assistance. Now that he's disappeared, could it be..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the three of them turned around simultaneously.

In the sky, a colossal palm appeared, pressing down from above.

It was deep blue in color, with thick fingers.

The veins were lifelike, resembling an ordinary person's palm.

To be able to execute such a perfect spell, the caster's skill must be exceptional!

Idle Crane Immortal exclaimed, "The Pill Sect has arrived!"

He couldn't possibly mistake this familiar spiritual power!

Qin Baixiang gazed at the massive palm print approaching, and a rumor came to mind.

During the Ling Tian City Lord's surprise attack on the Hegemony Blade Domain with the six Great Immortals, Luo Chen of the Pill Sect had once used a terrifying palm print to clear the way.

Wherever it passed, all were defeated! Could this be the same technique?

As he sensed it with his divine consciousness, he nodded, acknowledging the strength of this technique, which was difficult for an ordinary Nascent Soul True Man to withstand.

But after a moment, he shook his head.

"It's not enough!"

The Crane Emperor from the White Crane Sect also frowned, "Indeed, it's not enough. Although this technique is powerful and vigorous, it's still not as grand as the formation laid by the Ox Demon and the five demons."

Idle Crane Immortal hesitated, "I heard from Fairy Feng Hua that the Pill Sect also has some understanding of formations. Perhaps he's just testing the depth of the five demons' formation with this technique?"

Just testing the waters?

The Crane Emperor and Qin Baixiang agreed with this explanation.

However!

The massive palm print continued eastward, and wherever it passed, vast spiritual energy rushed in like moths to a flame, disregarding all consequences. The pressure became increasingly heavy.

In just a few dozen breaths, the palm print traveled from ten li to a hundred li, and then from a hundred li to a thousand li.

In a mere three thousand li, it had crossed over the heads of Idle Crane Immortal and the other Nascent Soul Realm masters. The gust of wind from the palm print caused their hair and beards to flutter, and the terrifying pressure made their faces change color.

"This palm!"

"It's a continuous strike, growing stronger and stronger!"

"With such a long build-up, it must have the power of a Great Cultivator's strike!"

But could a Great Cultivator's strike break a formation laid by a Great Demon Emperor leading four ordinary Demon Emperors? They didn't doubt the power of this technique, but they questioned its effectiveness.

Within the formation, the five Demon Emperors who were the main commanders naturally sensed the disturbance outside.

Some paled, while others grew restless.

The leader, a robust middle-aged man, glanced up and said indifferently, "Don't panic. This attack won't break the formation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down.

The Ox Demon turned his attention back to the nine-colored light river within the formation, and his brows furrowed again.

"Incorporating Heaven Qi into spiritual power has such formidable power?"

The nine-colored light river was formed by the combination of pure spiritual power and Heaven Qi.

Its destructive power was immense, and once, it had annihilated one of his subordinates, a mid-stage Fourth Rank Demon Emperor, with a single strike.

But now, it seemed that this technique not only had great offensive power but also formidable defensive capabilities.

A truly formidable technique!

The Ox Demon's heart stirred. If he could refine the Nine Spirit Lord, he would not only obtain the Void Accumulating Flower but also the cultivation method for this formidable technique.

However, the Nine Spirit Lord's spiritual power was indeed robust, almost on par with his own. Refining him would take at least a day or two.

To avoid complications, the Ox Demon decided to persuade the Nine Spirit Lord to surrender.

"Fellow Daoist Nine Spirit, if you willingly hand over the Void Accumulating Flower and teach me the cultivation method of this nine-colored light river, I, the Ox Demon, will spare your life. Moreover, I'll even cede the Medicine King Domain to you, allowing the Nine Spirit Sect to take over this vast territory without bloodshed!"

Inside the nine-colored light river, the Nine Spirit Lord let out a cold laugh.

"Daydreaming! You should focus on facing the Pill Sect's attack!"

"The Pill Sect?"

"The Ox Demon Overlord was startled, and it was none other than the Pill Sect's Luo Chen who had injured the Seven Rhinoceroses?"

In that moment of surprise, his expression suddenly changed, becoming both shocked and furious!

The Azure Sun Palm Seal, which had reached its peak, was unleashed.

A proud move, executed calmly and unhurriedly.

Gathering momentum during the three-thousand-li journey.

Above the grand formation, Luo Chen slowly pressed down his right palm.

The vast amount of spiritual energy and spiritual power, merged into a giant palm seal, followed his movements and slowly descended.

The thick light curtain that isolated the outside world emitted a harsh creaking sound at this moment, as if it couldn't bear the pressure.

But the light curtain was extremely tough, and even after being pressed down a hundred zhang deep, it did not shatter.

It seemed that the force was still lacking.

Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, his amber eyes swept across the surroundings, taking in every detail of the grand formation.

His left hand, which was suspended in the air, formed a seal, casually resting on his right arm, a move that could even be described as graceful!

His left hand's fingers, like a sword, slid down along his right arm.

The Azure Sun Palm Seal, with its continuous power, suddenly became agile, slightly shifting to the side.

"Break!"

The white-robed Daoist exhaled and spoke, emitting a clear and melodious sound.

The light curtain of the formation responded with a loud tear, splitting open a long gash.

The terrifying palm seal, directly striking the Yellow Dragon!

Boom!

A deafening roar was heard, mixed with a cry of terror.

"Ah..."

A burst of blood mist exploded, and the weakest among them, a Fourth Stage Demon Emperor, had taken the full force of the palm strike alone.

With this demon's demise, the formation was broken without warning.

The vast spiritual energy within the Azure Sun Palm Seal, without Luo Chen's restraint, instantly surged forth.

The world was in turmoil, and amidst the hazy smoke, several flying lights shot out.

One of them, a nine-colored flying light, rushed straight towards Luo Chen, with four demons in pursuit.

Qin Baixiang, Idle Crane Immortal, and others who had been watching the battle could no longer sit still and joined the fight.

Spells and treasures were unleashed like rain.

Boom!

Bang!

Dong!

In the void, the sounds of intense close-quarters combat echoed.

When the dust settled, Nine Spirit Lord's aura was exhausted as he was protected in the middle by Ling Feng Zi and the other three.

And in the very center of the battlefield, two figures stood facing each other.

The Ox Demon Overlord stood up, and even after transforming into a human form, his body was still over ten feet tall.

He looked down at the handsome young man in white robes before him, his expression slightly solemn.

"So, you're the Pill Sect's Luo Chen?"

Luo Chen retracted his divine sense from the Nine Spirit Lord, who had only suffered excessive depletion of his spiritual power, not a major injury.

At this moment, looking up at the towering Ox Demon Overlord, Luo Chen smiled.

"The Demon Race has already been defeated. Why do you stubbornly refuse to leave? This Medicine King Domain has always been the territory of the Human Race, and today it should be returned."

A flash of anger crossed the Ox Demon Overlord's face, "Our race has never been defeated. It's just that your Human Race is despicable, ambushing Emperor Tian during the peace talks at Biyu Mountain. Moreover, this Medicine King Domain, and even the entire Eastern Wilderness, has always been the territory of our Demon Race. It's you who should leave!"

Luo Chen shook his head, arguing about these things was pointless.

In the end, the cultivation world was simply a place where the strong preyed on the weak.

The white robe stirred without wind, and Luo Chen slowly rose into the air, his gaze cold, "So, do you still want to fight?"

The Ox Demon Overlord showed no weakness, unleashing the terrifying domain unique to great cultivators, pressing towards Luo Chen.

"Make Nine Spirit Lord hand over the Void Accumulating Flower!"

Behind Luo Chen, the Nine Spirit Lord had a small white flower pinned to his waist.

It looked ordinary, but the power within it was so overwhelming that anyone who glanced at it would find it hard to forget.

This was the ancient rare flower, the Void Accumulating Flower! Due to its survival needs, it grew in shattered spaces, absorbing the primal energy within the chaotic currents of the void.

Therefore, sealed storage spaces couldn't contain this treasure.

This was why the Nine Spirit Lord had no choice but to pin it to his waist.

Luo Chen didn't turn back, unmoved by the Demon Emperor's domain, his cold gaze sweeping over the Ox Demon Overlord and the other four demons.

"Now, with four of you and six of us, the situation has reversed, and the advantage is with us. If we really want to fight, it will only result in mutual destruction."

"But if you insist on fighting, my sect is willing to oblige!"

The Ox Demon Overlord, in a fit of anger, laughed, "A mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dares to speak so arrogantly. Today, I'll show you that in front of a Demon Emperor, numbers are meaningless!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Luo Chen had already made his move.

"Kill!"

On the ground, a brilliant light burst forth, and a chilling sword qi broke through the earth, transforming into a massive sword formation that surrounded the Ox Demon Overlord.

Not only that, a giant cauldron descended from the sky.

Combined with Luo Chen's own Nascent Soul domain, the Triple Hell reappeared! The terrifying sword qi sliced through the four directions.

The Ox Demon Overlord's face changed, wondering when this person had silently set up such a sword formation.

Could it have been during the previous breach of the formation? He didn't have time to think, and roared.

"Kill!"

A white bone staff appeared in his hand, sweeping away the terrifying sword qi that rushed towards him.

The other three Demon Emperors also took action.

However, compared to the Ox Demon Overlord, their situation wasn't as relaxed.

Ling Feng Zi and Qin Baixiang joined forces to take on one of them.

Idle Crane Immortal and the Crane Emperor teamed up to handle another.

The last one, a Fourth Stage Mid-stage cultivator, was taken on by the Nine Spirit Lord, who still had some fighting strength left.

The Nine Spirit Lord could no longer maintain the Grand Elemental Sword Formation of the Nine Heavens, but even with other means, he was no ordinary opponent.

After trapping his enemy, his sharp gaze swept across the other three battlefields, a plan already in mind.

"Fellow Daoists, quickly finish off your opponents, and then assist the Pill Sect!"

There was no need for him to inform them, as Ling Feng Zi and the others, upon seeing Luo Chen holding a blood-stained sword and personally entering the sword formation, knew that the battle against the Ox Demon Overlord was also a significant challenge for Luo Chen.

At this moment, they could only focus on defeating their own enemies first, so they could lend their support to Luo Chen.

The Medicine King Domain, which had suffered repeated disasters, was once again facing a catastrophe.

Even more so than before, today's battle was even more intense.

The four battlefields began to spread outwards, and even the aftermath of the fight was not something ordinary beings could withstand.

If the war continued, regardless of the final outcome, the Medicine King Domain itself would be destroyed.

Perhaps, it would become the next Hegemony Sword Domain!

...

High above in the nine heavens.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, stood within the clouds.

The leader wore a black robe, and his spiritual power fluctuated faintly.

Divine Flame Immortal stood half a step behind, gazing downward with a shocked expression.

"I never expected that Luo Chen would be so powerful, able to withstand a furious Demon Emperor in direct combat!"

Shen Yuan Zhenren, shrouded in his black robe, smiled faintly, "Do you think it's just luck that someone can withstand my attack?"

Divine Flame Immortal swallowed hard.

He had indeed thought so before.

Many people believed the same, thinking that Luo Chen had only mastered a powerful divine ability.

Aside from that divine ability, he was just a slightly more powerful mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, how could he compare to a Great Cultivator? But now, it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

Simultaneously controlling five sword pills to set up a sword formation, manipulating the Primordial Cauldron, and wielding the Blood Sword, the sheer depth of spiritual power and strength of the Divine Soul displayed in these actions alone were far beyond what an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could achieve.

Divine Flame Immortal's lips trembled, and he said with concern, "If this continues, does that mean Luo Chen is guaranteed to win?"

Shen Yuan Zhenren shook his head, "We are here, so where do you think Bi Zheng is?"

Divine Flame Immortal's eyes widened in surprise!

"Could it be that Bi Zheng will take action against Luo Chen?"

"Ao Xiao has already given the order to kill Luo Chen, who has a connection with Han Zhan. Bi Zheng is the strongest follower of Ao Xiao and will not miss this opportunity before returning to the Million Great Mountains."

Shen Yuan Zhenren spoke calmly, his gaze falling on Luo Chen, and a greedy look appeared on his face once again.

"Moreover, there is someone else who is most disappointed in the war between humans and demons!"

Divine Flame Immortal trembled all over. According to his senior martial brother's words, could there be someone else who would take action?

But what did all this have to do with them?

Shen Yuan Zhenren suddenly lifted his hood, revealing a face that Divine Flame Immortal was familiar with.

However, compared to his face a year ago, this face now had some of the characteristics of the Sky Piercing Old Ghost.

Divine Flame Immortal lowered his head, not daring to look closely.

Shen Yuan Zhenren sighed softly, "You should have guessed when you were in the Taihu Domain. In fact, Jin Ling discovered it even earlier than you, but I was forced to absorb the Nascent Souls of my fellow disciples from the same sect, Lingmu and the others. After the battle at Cangwu Mountain, my physical body was destroyed by the Nirvana Holy Flame, and my Nascent Soul was on the verge of extinction. Only by absorbing the Nascent Soul power of my fellow disciples from the same sect could I barely maintain my life."

Divine Flame Immortal, with his head lowered, clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with fear, but he dared not speak.

He was afraid!

Afraid that the next one would be himself!

Shen Yuan Zhenren continued speaking.

"But after absorbing so many Nascent Souls from fellow disciples of the same origin, I became less and less like myself, and even because of the mixed spiritual power, I was forced to take the path of merging with heaven and earth."

"If I continue like this, I will die!"

"Unless I can reach the Divine Transformation Realm before my Nascent Soul perishes."

"But before forcibly breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm, I need a powerful physical body!"

"Luo Chen is my best choice!"

"I don't know why his Five Spirit Roots have disappeared, but with his Fire Ridge body, his physical body is the only one in this world that can bear my vast and mixed spiritual power."

"Now I'm using the Demon Race to deal with Luo Chen. Even if the Abyss Sacred Land pursues the matter later, their anger won't be directed at me."

"And afterwards?"

Shen Yuan Zhenren suddenly stopped speaking, his gaze shifting to the distance.

There were two flying lights, no longer concealing themselves, and their formidable auras filled the sky as they surged downward.

On the ground.

Within the sword formation, Luo Chen was engaged in a fierce battle with the Ox Ghost.

With the protection of the Triple Hell, he was not suppressed by the opponent's domain.

Combining the Primordial Cauldron, the Soul Devouring Sword, and the Grand Elemental Sword Formation, he fought the Ox Ghost to a standstill.

This confirmed his earlier guess that without using the Flourish and Wither Dao Finger, he indeed had the strength to fight a Great Cultivator.

However, this state wouldn't last long as his spiritual power rapidly diminished.

But no matter!

As long as the Nine Spirit Lord had the opportunity to act, his pressure would be greatly reduced.

At that time...

Luo Chen suddenly retreated.

In his sight, the Ox Ghost, ignoring the sword energy swirling towards him, suddenly planted his White Bone Staff into the ground and let out a heaven-shaking roar.

His physical body began to undergo visible changes.

Sharp horns, a massive ox head, and rugged white bones grew wildly.

"Revealing his true form?"

Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed, "Is my pressure that great?"

But the next moment, his expression changed.

From the ground, countless white bones shot up, forming a White Bone Mountain.

In an instant, it shattered his Grand Elemental Sword Formation and even enveloped it.

Luo Chen fled outwards, and the white bones continued to grow, stabbing at him from all directions.

The Ox Ghost moved his massive white bone body, reaching out to grab him from a distance.

From the White Bone Mountain, a giant white bone hand broke through the ground, grabbing at Luo Chen, who was like a flying bird in the air.

At the same time, outside the White Bone Mountain, two formidable attacks struck simultaneously! The other three battlefields, which were also engaged in intense combat, paused due to this sudden change.

The Nine Spirit Lord, Ling Feng Zi, and the others watched in shock, their eyes fixed on the white figure fluttering amidst the White Bone Mountain.
