Breaching the War Fortress
Breaching the War Fortress
Both sides had selected their opponents and could not wait to fight.
This place had become a dead land. No matter how brutal the battle became, it would not turn any worse. Even if the entire Xianji Mountain sank, it would be okay.
Of course, Xianji Mountain would not be easily destroyed as a land of awakening.
Apparently, no one could really win the battle in a short time.
Just as Zheng Yuan said, he needed Zhang Ruochen and his eight companies of soldiers to attack Xianji Mountain while they held off those nasty Deathkin figures.
In front of the war fortress, Zhang Ruochen and Huo Nu had exchanged dozens of blows, and none of them could gain the advantage over the other.
Meanwhile, Ji Fanxin and Qi Yang were in a standoff, not making their move.
Facing a Deathkin monster like Qi Yang, even Ji Fanxi was feeling intimidated.
A voice seemingly called out from thin air all of a sudden. "Let me give you a hand, Fairy!"
A shadow flew from the horizon and planted like a javelin beside Ji Fanxin.
It was a very good-looking young man in his early twenties, and he was wearing an expensive-looking, sapphire-blue robe with a jasper hanging around his waist. His sapphire-blue eyes stood out the most; they were clear and penetrating as if they contained two drops of the ocean.
"It has been a long time, Fairy. You are still as beautiful as ever. I heard you were in Northern Region, and so rushed over from Southern Region to meet you. And here I am." The man in an expensive rope had a bright smile on his face.
Qi Yang's eyes flashed in a cold light as he sneered. "Are you trying to play hero here? Those who did this stupid thing in front of me last time had all died!"
The man frowned with a grim look in his eyes. "How dare a Deathkin Shenzi be so cheeky in front of me? Tell me, how would you like to die?"
"I didn't know there was someone more arrogant than me. Tell me your name; I don't kill those whom I can't identify," said Qi Yang.
"Listen carefully, I am Bi Yunhai from the Heavensea Realm. It is your honor to die in my hands."
Bi Yunhai looked unusually confident while he spoke, as though he was better than anyone else.
"I can't believe Bi Yunhai has also come to the Northern Region."
The three Tu Brothers looked astounded.
Just then, there was a commotion among the cultivators on the four warships. All eyes were on Bi Yunhai.
"With Bi Yunhai here, winning the battle is already a foregone conclusion."
"You are so right. Just look at how powerful he is. Even the Neverwither Supreme Saint lost to him. He's just as good as a Neverwither Supreme Saint. Picking Bi Yunhai as his opponent is a big mistake on Qi Yang's part. He is going to die."
"I heard that Bi Yunhai has over eight million internal precepts. It's hard to imagine how a person can hold such an amount of precepts in the body."
"Absolutely. Besides, Bi Yunhai has immortalized both of his arms. He has Neverwither Supreme Saint's Arm, which when utilized, makes him no different from a Neverwither Supreme Saint."
...
Many cultivators on the four warships were in high spirits, rubbing their hands as they could not wait to get down on the battlefield to fight alongside Bi Yunhai.
In their eyes, Bi Yunhai was a legend whom they had never had the chance to meet on normal days. Now, no one had any doubt that they were going to win because Bi Yunhai had come.
Upon hearing the chatter behind him, Bi Yunhai became even more confident and haughty. He was really flattered.
Meanwhile, Ji Fanxi remained silent, not letting down her guard just because Bi Yunhai was here.
Qi Yang's expression was bitter with murderous intent in his eyes. "Oh, very well, Bi Yunhai. You will meet your death now. Aren't you afraid?"
"A moment, please, Fairy. Let me get rid of him first." Bi Yunhai's confidence was at an all-time high.
He made his move; Neverwither Saint Light glowed on his arms as his acupoints opened and Saint Qi rushed out at an insane rate.
A jade-green sea appeared under his feet and spread in all directions as if it was going to turn Xianji Mountain into an ocean.
The weather changed drastically within a 7,000-mile radius of him as he gathered one-third of the Precepts of Heaven and Earth to himself.
At that moment, Bi Yunhai seemed to be the lord of the small world within the 7,000-mile radius. Everything was under his control.
After forming the Precept Domain as a start, he could mobilize the Precepts of Heaven and Earth and harness their amazing energy.
Nonetheless, the Percept Domain could only summon so many Precepts of Heaven and Earth. It could only do so within a 100-mile radius at most, and not all precepts could be summoned.
After attaining Heaven's Reach, though, the ability to summon the Percepts of Heaven and Earth would increase. Its range would expand to as far as a 1,000-mile radius.
Once Path's Anterior was achieved and it was perfectly aligned with the Precepts of Heaven and Earth, the radius range would be at least 1,000 miles and at most, 10,000 miles.
A relatively less powerful Path's Anterior fighter like Commander He Yun could form over 30 million precepts, and his range would be limited to within a 1,000-mile radius.
Huo Nu was not much better than Commander He Yun. His number of precepts was close to 50,000 with a range that covered a 2,000-mile radius.
However, Huo Nu and Bi Yunhai were not in the same league. Bi Yunhai's effective range was a 7,000-mile radius, after all, and he could summon one-third of the precepts. Such an ability was no less powerful than that of a Neverwither Supreme Saint.
Five-thousand miles was a threshold. Anyone who could summon Precepts of Heaven and Earth beyond this range could cross this threshold and become a Neverwither Supreme Saint.
Throughout the Celestial Court and the Infernal Court, rarely anyone with Saint Kinghood could have such attainment, not even the leader of a Macroworld.
With his own precepts as the core and complemented by the Precepts of Heaven and Earth, Bi Yunhai unleashed an unusually powerful palm strike.
The jade-green sea expanded, sweeping the clouds and clearing up the sky.
"It is Azure Sky-Sea Palm, an Intermediate-level Tongxuan Saint Technique. It looks like an advanced Saint technique when performed by Bi Yunhai."
Someone could not help but exclaim in awe when Bi Yunhai made the move.
The Heavensea Realm ranked in the top one hundred in the Eastern Universe. But there were only three types of Intermediate Tongxuan-class Saint Techniques. Most people did not have the chance to learn, and even if they could, it was difficult to attain the Dacheng Realm.
Azure Sky-Sea Palm was the Heavensea Realm's most well-known Intermediate-level Tongxuan Saint technique. It was incredibly powerful, almost as good as an advanced Saint technique.
It was apparent that Bi Yunhai's Azure Sky-Sea Palm had attained the Dacheng Realm. He had totally mastered the essence of it.
If this was performed on open water, the power it produced would be even more incredible.
Qi Yang looked composed, without a hint of panic.
It was not until Bi Yunhai unleashed his palm strike that Qi Yang made his move, using his hand as a blade to slash forward.
His hand dragged a thousand-yard-long light blade to meet the incoming azure sea.
Qi Yang's hand blade cut the azure sea in half and crushed the Precepts of Heaven and Earth.
"How could this be possible?"
Bi Yunhai was shocked.
Although he knew his palm move was not going to do any harm to Qi Yang, he did not expect Qi Yang to defeat his Azure Sky-Sea Palm so effortlessly.
"That's all you've got, huh? You are a real letdown!" Qi Yang sneered.
"Heavenly Sea Unbounded!"
Bi Yunhai immediately performed another palm strike, looking stern.
He could only shine in front of everyone by defeating Qi Yang.
His last move was just a test. What came next was the actual battle. He was still confident that he could beat Qi Yang.
Ji Fanxin had retreated to one side and intercepted Commander He Yun.
On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen was still focusing on dealing with Huo Nu. The appearance of Qi Yang and Bi Yunhai had not distracted him.
Huo Nu, a Path's Anterior fighter who could summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth within a 2,000-mile radius, could have suppressed Zhang Ruochen.
Be that as it may, Zhang Ruochen had mastered an advanced Saint technique. Using his Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike, he could also summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth to make up for his weaknesses.
That was the amazing thing about advanced Saint techniques, which was something only Supreme Saints could master. Once performed, they could trigger the vision and the Precepts of Heaven and Earth within a large area.
Of course, it was also because his Sky Soaring Dragon-Elephant had attained the Dacheng Realm and he had refined the Supreme Saint dragon and elephant souls. Using the Saint Soul of Beast Emperor to summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth was easy-peasy.
"Heavenly Dragon-Elephant!"
By gathering his internal Saint Qi, Zhang Ruochen performed the most powerful palm strike.
He summoned the Precepts of Truth to increase his offensive strength by eightfold.
Supreme Saint dragon and elephant souls appeared and showed their puissant ability. Countless Precepts of Heaven and Earth circled them as if they were the core of this very heaven and earth.
White flames went up on Huo Nu's body as he unleashed a punch strike. The white flames formed into a lifelike and vicious Qiongqi beast.
Bang!
It did not take long before the Supreme Saint dragon and elephant souls ripped the Qiongqi beast into pieces.
Following that, horrible energy immediately hit Huo Nu, sending him flying backward.
"Break this war fortress!" Zhang Ruochen instructed as he summoned the Evil Spirit out of the Qiankun Realm.
After four years of closed-door self-cultivation, the Evil Spirit had completely coalesced with the corpse of the Divine Python and had the corpse totally under its control.
The Divine Python might have died a long time ago and its divine power dissipated, and Luo Ji had taken the remaining Stellar Soul of God. But this was a divine body, and the residual divine power should not be underestimated.
The corpse of the Divine Python was especially tough—so much so that even a Supreme Artifact might not cause any harm to it.
"A piece of cake! Leave him to me." The Evil Spirit was full of confidence.
Boom!
The Evil Spirit in the 3,000-yard-long body lunged out to attack the war fortress.
An overwhelming divine power rushed out of the evil spirit's new body like a tidal wave as it declared war on the war fortress.
The war fortress was extremely solid. On top of that, it could align itself with the power of seven other war fortresses. Destroying the war fortress was extremely difficult.
However, a violent tremor ripped throughout the war fortress. Even the mountain peak below was shaking and crumbling.
The war fortress cracked in the middle and broke in half amid a loud rumble.
Down below, the mountain peak broke apart as magma burst out of the ground with the thick pungent smell of sulfur permeating the air.
