Chapter 109: Sea of Fire Riot
Sect Master Lü Daoxuan listened to Sun Xuan's words and gradually calmed down.
Seeing his expression flicker between dark and light, after hesitating several times, he turned around and sat back down in his seat.
"Fellow Daoist Sun makes sense, but there is still a hint of unease in my heart.
In case the Destiny Star Cultivators suffer losses that are too severe under the schemes and attacks of the Daluo Sword Sect,
and in the end, if our strength is not enough, I'm afraid this Barren Planet cannot be conquered.
If that happens, wouldn't my Qianyuan Palace end up in a tight spot, left with nothing in the end?"
After sitting back down, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan spoke to Sun Xuan with a clear look of worry.
The current situation made Sect Master Lü Daoxuan rather caught in a dilemma.
Reporting the information about the Daluo Sword Sect now was wrong, and not reporting it was also wrong.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan chuckled and said,
"Fellow Daoist Lü, you are losing your judgment out of concern.
As far as I know, the leader of the Daluo Sword Sect is Chen Long.
Although this person has extraordinary strength, with his Seeking Dao Early Stage cultivation, he can almost rival Seeking Dao Late Stage Cultivators without losing.
But that's about it.
Palace Master Ouyang Mo of Jiuyou Palace has long reached the half-step Yinxu realm, and his personal hard strength is still more than enough to crush Chen Long.
Moreover, Jiuyou Palace has more than one Seeking Dao Cultivator, and its strength is completely beyond what the Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators on this Barren Planet can directly contend with.
Chen Long can only pull some petty tricks behind the scenes.
He will not cause too heavy losses to the Destiny Star Cultivator army conquering the Barren Planet.
According to my deduction, the ones who suffer the greatest losses from the things Chen Long stirred up behind the scenes this time will still be the various Level 5 Cultivation Countries that built their own camps.
Jiuyou Palace will not suffer heavy losses.
As long as the top-tier Level 5 Cultivation Countries are not too unlucky, their losses should not be enough to hurt their vital energy.
As for us, because Zi Shu was injured and fled by me, the arrangements targeting us have not been completed.
Therefore, my Qianyuan Sect will not suffer the slightest loss.
Moreover, this move by the Daluo Sword Sect will definitely completely infuriate Ouyang Mo.
Later on, we will report the information of the Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators' appearance to Jiuyou Palace.
Jiuyou Palace will inevitably deal with the Daluo Sword Sect on a large scale.
We can just follow behind, storing our strength on one side and watching a good show on the other."
Listening to Sun Xuan's analysis, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan slowly nodded.
Evidently, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan quite agreed with Sun Xuan's statement.
His slightly anxious heart also slowly calmed down at this moment.
And just when the Destiny Star Cultivators, except for Sun Xuan, still didn't understand what had happened,
the Sea of Fire, which occupied one-third of this Barren Planet's territory, suddenly rioted at this moment.
Countless exotic beasts dashed out from the Sea of Fire with wild roars.
Stirred up by countless exotic beasts, boundless flames soared into the sky across the entire Sea of Fire, almost incinerating the firmament.
Facing this magnificent spectacle, even Chen Long, who was secretly observing from the dark, felt a faint chill in his heart.
"Come on, come on, the bigger the commotion, the better.
Fellow Daoists of Destiny Star, I wonder if you all like this generous gift of mine!"
With a sinister smile, Chen Long's figure slowly dissipated from the darkness.
Chen Long's strategic goal had been achieved, and next, he just needed to wait and watch the good show.
Just as the countless exotic beasts in the Sea of Fire rioted, deep within an underground abyss on this Barren Planet,
inside a huge palace,
on the throne of the palace, a towering figure suddenly raised his head.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the underground and look towards the Sea of Fire on the surface.
"Those foreign idiots actually provoked the brainless beings of the Fire Spirit Clan.
They are simply courting death.
Perhaps without our clan taking action, we might even be able to drive these invading Cultivators away."
The figure muttered to himself a few times, let out a few cold sneers, and then slowly fell silent.
The countless exotic beasts above the Sea of Fire split into dozens of streams, marching mightily toward the various camps of the Destiny Star Cultivators.
Of course, the Qianyuan Sect was not within the scope of their attack.
After all, the red runes that were originally going to be thrown into the Qianyuan Sect had long been intercepted by Sun Xuan.
…
The camp chosen by the Yusheng Sect was located within a mountain forest.
After occupying this mountain forest, the Yusheng Sect began setting up defensive Restrictions.
After some time, the overall defensive Restrictions were basically completed.
They were currently organizing manpower to set up some auxiliary minor Restrictions to make the camp's defense even more perfect.
Moreover, the Yusheng Sect excelled at controlling beasts. After occupying this mountain forest, they scattered a large number of Spirit Beasts into the surrounding environment,
to serve as their scouts and patrol guards.
After all the defensive Restrictions were perfected, Sect Master Zhou Shidao went to Jiuyou Palace to confirm the cleaning direction of the Yusheng Sect.
The Yusheng Sect prepared to fully clear out this Barren Planet, striving to make great contributions and gain the opportunity to be promoted to a Level 6 Cultivation Country.
After all, although the Yusheng Sect did not have a starry sky giant ship, its strength was not much different from those Level 5 Cultivation Countries that possessed starry sky giant ships.
As long as they had good luck, they still had a chance to contend for this opportunity to be promoted to a Level 6 Cultivation Country.
Just as Sect Master Zhou Shidao sat cross-legged inside a newly built grand hall, daydreaming about the bright future of becoming a Level 6 Cultivation Country,
a harsh alarm sound suddenly rang out from within the camp.
The moment the alarm sounded, a sound transmission Jade Slip also flew into the hall, landing in Sect Master Zhou Shidao's hand.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, according to the information brought back by the Spirit Beasts scattered around the periphery,
a large number of exotic beasts emitting blazing flames are flying towards the Sect camp at extreme speed.
The lowest-strength exotic beasts among them have already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Those with higher strength likely already possess the cultivation of the Soul Formation stage.
The situation is extremely critical right now; whether to fight or retreat, please make a decision, Sect Master!"
The words in the Jade Slip were very hurried, showing that matters had truly reached a critical moment.
Hearing this information, Sect Master Zhou Shidao's originally good mood instantly turned gloomy.
After pondering for a moment, Sect Master Zhou Shidao reached out and took out a blank sound transmission Jade Slip.
After burning a few sentences into it with his Divine Sense, he flicked it away.
After being flicked out by Sect Master Zhou Shidao, this sound transmission Jade Slip immediately sped straight toward the location of the Jiuyou Palace garrison.
Sect Master Zhou Shidao was as clear as a mirror in his heart. No matter what, since a problem had occurred, reporting it upward first was definitely correct.
As for whether to fight or retreat next, it would depend on the actual strength of these charging exotic beasts.
Although the sound transmission Jade Slip just now mentioned that there might be Soul Formation stage powerhouses among these exotic beasts,
there are also huge differences between Soul Formation stage experts.
A Soul Formation stage Perfection Cultivator with strong strength is no different from killing a dog when killing those who barely advanced to the Soul Formation stage.
However, ants can bite an elephant to death if there are too many exotic beasts.
Then, there is no choice but to retreat first.
At this moment, Sect Master Zhou Shidao took a step forward and flew rapidly towards the direction from which the exotic beasts were rushing.
Under his command, the other Disciples of the Yusheng Sect relied on the camp's defensive Formation to prepare to intercept these exotic beasts.
"Puff, puff!"
Several muffled sounds rang out, and the charging exotic beasts perished one after another under several red radiances casually flicked out by Sect Master Zhou Shidao.
However, Sect Master Zhou Shidao's brows could not help but furrow slightly.
Under Sect Master Zhou Shidao's observation, the strength of this group of charging exotic beasts was basically completely exposed within his Divine Sense.
The strongest exotic beast among them was around the Soul Formation Late Stage.
And its combat power was not that high.
However, the number of these exotic beasts was extremely large.
Roughly counting, there were actually no less than several hundred thousand heads.
And this number was still increasing endlessly.
Most of these exotic beasts had raging red flames burning all over their bodies.
But a small portion of them had bodies like charcoal, with no flames emerging from them.
Those exotic beasts emitting red flames were easy to deal with—they could simply be slaughtered directly.
But these charcoal-like exotic beasts made Sect Master Zhou Shidao feel extremely tricky in his heart.
Because once this kind of exotic beast was attacked, without saying a word, it would rush up and self-destruct immediately.
Just now, Sect Master Zhou Shidao encountered a black exotic beast whose strength had reached the Nascent Transformation Initial Stage; if Sect Master Zhou Shidao hadn't dodged fast,
under its self-destruction, he would probably have suffered heavy injuries by now.
With a wave of his hand to kill a few exotic beasts, Sect Master Zhou Shidao no longer hesitated and turned back into the Yusheng Sect camp.
"The situation is abnormal. Leave a portion of the Cultivators to rely on this defensive Formation to intercept the incoming exotic beasts.
All remaining Yusheng Sect Cultivators, bring all supplies, board the green wood giant turtle, and immediately leave this place to head deep into the dense forest."
As the Sect Master, Sect Master Zhou Shidao naturally had his own judgment ability.
These increasing exotic beasts made Sect Master Zhou Shidao feel waves of unease in his heart.
Decisively, Sect Master Zhou Shidao didn't say another word, leading the majority of the Yusheng Sect Cultivators to immediately begin retreating.
As for whether those Cultivators left behind to intercept the exotic beasts could survive, it would only depend on their fortune.
The Yusheng Sect moved extremely fast, packing up just as the hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts were about to rush to the defensive Formation.
Except for those unlucky fellows who were forcibly left behind, all other Cultivators immediately boarded the green turtle and rapidly fled deep into the dense forest.
After the majority of the Yusheng Sect Cultivators fled, these hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts split off a large portion to pursue the green turtle.
The remaining exotic beasts launched a frenzied attack on the garrison Cultivators left behind in the defensive Formation.
In less than half an hour, despite the resistance of the defensive Formation, the Cultivators left behind were all old, weak, sick, and disabled people whose strength was not very good.
After the continuous bombardment of hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts, it finally completely collapsed.
Then they were directly swallowed by the exotic beast horde, suffering total annihilation.
This kind of scene was happening in several more visionary Level 5 Cultivation Country camps.
But there were also quite a few stubborn fools who refused to retreat under the siege of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts.
Those Level 5 Cultivation Countries with strong strength like the Yusheng Sect were fine and could hold on for a while.
But those Level 5 Cultivation Countries that only had two or three Soul Formation Early Stage Cultivators within the entire Sect—
after just over half a day of effort, their camps were all breached by the exotic beasts.
Once the camp Formation was broken, these low-strength Level 5 Cultivation Countries immediately fell into chaos.
Except for a few Cultivators with formidable strength or good luck who escaped,
all remaining massive numbers of Cultivators were buried under the blazing flames of the exotic beast horde.
It must be said that Chen Long's strategy of driving a tiger to devour a wolf was used extremely successfully.
The entire Destiny Star Cultivator Alliance could not be said to have been directly crippled by the exotic beasts, but the losses were definitely not small.
In the Jiuyou Palace camp, Palace Master Ouyang Mo looked gloomily at these millions of near-boundless exotic beasts.
These exotic beasts tightly surrounded the defensive Formation that had just been completed outside the Jiuyou Palace camp.
Then, disregarding life or death, they launched a nearly suicide attack on the Jiuyou Palace camp.
"Release!"
Palace Master Ouyang Mo stood inside the defensive Formation, and at this moment, he suddenly let out a soft shout.
As his voice fell, the dozen or so starry sky giant ships floating inside the Jiuyou Palace camp instantly lit up with dazzling celestial light.
Following closely, the pitch-black muzzle areas of the dozen or so xianling railguns instantly released soul-capturing, dazzling beams of light.
As a large amount of celestial jade turned into flying ash, the starry sky giant ship's ultimate weapon, the xianling railgun, finally bared its ferocious fangs at this moment.
"Hum!"
Under the bombardment of the xianling railgun, the space blocking the muzzles was continuously bombarded until it shattered into pieces.
And the countless exotic beasts blocking the muzzles directly evaporated from the mortal world.
The endless exotic beast horde was almost directly pierced through under the bombardment of the xianling railguns.
Countless more exotic beasts were affected by the aftermath of the xianling railguns and shattered into scattered pieces.
Under the bombardment of the xianling railguns, the tyrannical, frantic, and fearless Sea of Fire exotic beasts unexpectedly revealed a rare glint of fear in their eyes.
This truly lived up to the old saying: if your enemy is not afraid of you, it must be because your firepower is not strong enough.
However, after a moment of daze, this group of exotic beasts still frantically charged toward the Jiuyou Palace camp.
Especially the black exotic beasts among them, which charged in large batches toward the Jiuyou Palace camp's Formation and self-destructed.
The millions, and still increasing, exotic beast horde caused tremendous pressure on the Jiuyou Palace Cultivators.
Moreover, under the frantic slaughter by Jiuyou Palace, the strange fluctuations emitted by the exotic beast horde became more numerous and profound.
Some high-grade exotic beasts that had lurked deep within the Sea of Fire year-round were also slowly awakened by this fluctuation.
Accompanied by the towering giant waves stirred up in the Sea of Fire, exotic beasts whose cultivation had reached above the Seeking Dao stage dashed wildly out from the Sea of Fire.
Without saying a word, they flew rapidly toward Jiuyou Palace.
"Palace Master, the appearance of these exotic beasts is definitely inseparable from those red runes that emitted strange fluctuations earlier.
Why were those red runes so bizarrely appearing? Why didn't they appear anywhere else, but happened to appear all around the camps of our Destiny Star Cultivators!
Furthermore, once these exotic beasts are attacked, they will emit a hidden, strange fluctuation.
The fluctuation they emit is clearly identical to the fluctuation emitted by the red runes around the camps earlier!"
Elder Liu Qing of Jiuyou Palace, with a cultivation of the Seeking Dao Early Stage, spoke to Palace Master Ouyang Mo in front of him with a gloomy face.
Palace Master Ouyang Mo's gloomy face flickered with frequent murderous intent, and he spoke in a deep, chilling tone:
"It seems that we Destiny Star Cultivators have been schemed against by someone.
These people truly have enormous guts.
After this seat finishes dealing with this group of stupid beasts, I will personally crush these sewer stinkbugs to death!
Let them know the consequence of scheming against Jiuyou Palace."
