Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 425 - 294 Cannon Fodder, All Cannon Fodder_2

Chapter 425: Chapter 294 Cannon Fodder, All Cannon Fodder_2

The Flying Sky Netherworld King seemed not too bright in the head, already provoked, it chased after Zhao Sheng without a second thought.

“Fiend, how dare you!”

Inside Flying Immortal City, seeing this scene, Beggar Immortal was immediately greatly enraged. After a loud shout, he plunged down transformed into a beam of light,

the light shone like a whip that spanned a thousand zhang in the void, striking down vertically with a loud boom, sending the Flying Sky Netherworld King flying far away, leaving a deep fist imprint on its chest.

Beggar Immortal, seizing the advantage, transformed into light and charged again, engaging in a fierce battle with the giant zombie. Within moments, a thousand-zhang radius was filled with intertwining rays of white and black light, turning the area into a battleground for two Nascent Soul level powers.

As these two fought fiercely, other high-level powers of Tianzhu Realm also took action, either by blocking the Flying Sky Netherworld King and Ghost King or by simply striking at those giant demonic corpses.

...

Simultaneously, under the direction of Gongyang Heng, leader of the Immortal Device Sect, numerous formidable monsters were targeted and killed. The Cave Heaven Armored Dragon also couldn’t withstand such intense attacks and soon was gravely injured, wailing as it attempted to flee back to the Netherworld Ghost Realm.

But it was immediately hit by the main cannons of two Sea Suppression Cloud Boats, its chest pierced by two beams of light swords five to six zhang thick, instantly spilling a massive amount of blood and organs.

Severely injured, the Cave Heaven Armored Dragon fell powerlessly into the abyss under a barrage of attacks.

Nevertheless, it had nearly completed its mission.

In less than a hundred breaths, over a hundred giant demonic corpses carrying countless zombies had passed through the time-space rift, and an immeasurable number of ghostly creatures had descended into this world.

Countless zombies of all levels leaped down from the demonic corpses like raindrops, though most of the living corpses and walking corpses fell straight into the abyss, a few slipped through the cracks and landed on the Golden Wall, but were quickly exterminated.

Compared to these expendable forces, the iron-armored corpses barely managed to float, clawing onto the soil and rocks after falling into the abyss and started climbing frantically upwards.

Meanwhile, the copper-armored corpses and golden-armored corpses, shrouded in dense corpse Qi, charged directly towards the Golden Wall and the numerous flying artifacts in the air.

Compared to these “brainless” creatures, the ghostly beings were exceptionally cunning; aside from the low-level wandering ghosts and evil ghosts, the stronger ones such as fierce ghosts hid their ghostly forms behind zombies, either launching sneak attacks or initiating waves of ghostly howls, frequently mounting psychic assaults.

Occasionally, a cultivator with a weak will was bewildered and controlled by a ghostly being, suddenly turning on their comrades with a betrayal strike.

Since the battle began, in less than half a quarter-hour, both the heavens and the earth had become battlefields, with countless corpse ghosts and monsters falling, and casualties on the side of Tianzhu Realm quickly emerged.

At this moment, the battle seemed to have reached a fever pitch.

…

However, even with the battle so fierce, Flying Immortal City, looming atop the clouds, still hung quietly, showing no signs of entering a wartime state.

Within the city, thousands of elite cultivators stood with arms crossed, quietly observing the tragic combat below, as if completely detached from the situation.

At this time, at the top of the main tower of Flying Immortal City, Gongyang Heng remained expressionless, his Divine Thought, with the aid of the Heavenly Mirror, increased tenfold, his powerful mental intent covering the entire area, capturing every detail and change on the battlefield.

Every second, hundreds of commands issued from Gongyang Heng’s Divine Thought, relayed to various Daoist armies, Nascent Soul ancestors, Golden Core masters, and numerous flying artifacts.

However, at this moment, the figure of Sword God Lin Yizhi was no longer seen beside him.

At that time above Flying Immortal City, within an unknown void barrier, Lin Yizhi stood on the void, holding a gourd, leisurely sipping spiritual wine sip by sip.

The fragrance of the wine spread, transforming into clusters of red lotuses.

At this time, facing Lin Yizhi, four formidable figures also floated in the air, undoubtedly Divinity Transformation True Monarchs questioning no one else.

One among them, wearing a golden robe and imperial crown, appeared arrogant, clearly the sovereign of Southern Yan Continent, the Flame Emperor.

On the opposite side of the Flame Emperor sat a youth-faced, white-haired man with the back and stature of a crane, appearing to be an ordinary old man, yet he was none other than Xie Wuxu, the former grandmaster of the Supreme Sensing Sect from generations ago.

Master Xie was one of the two mightiest True Monarchs in the Tianzhu Realm, having lived the longest and possessing the strongest powers.

The Flame Emperor, with a look of disdain, spoke indifferently, “Master Xie, if this is all the Netherworld Ghost Realm has to offer, then… I shall not waste my time here anymore.”

Xie Wuxu laughed softly and waved his hand in persuasion, “Flame Emperor, you must be patient. You should know that the Netherworld Ghost Realm has not even revealed a tenth of its strength. You saw that old ghost and skeleton yourself. Can they not ignite your desire for battle?”

“Hmph, those two cowardly creatures, better left unmentioned. They are merely cannon fodder pushed to the forefront.”

“Amitabha Buddha! Ancestor, you must not underestimate them. Putting aside that skeleton for now, that millennium-old ghost has extraordinary power. My Heavenly Transformation Divine Strike technique failed to locate its core relic. Moreover, my Sacred Sound indeed injured it, but it was merely a superficial wound,” said the speaker, an old monk with a round face and large belly, draped in a brocade cassock and with a halo of Buddha Light behind his head, resembling Maitreya Buddha.

This old monk, hailing from the West Desolate Continent’s Great Snow Mountain Sacred Heart Temple, is the current Buddha Master. He possesses the Divine Powers of Six Senses and Seven Perceptions, has achieved Infinite Merit, and has condensed the Buddha Relics, waiting only for his Rainbow Ascension.

“The old monk is right! That old ghost is indeed formidable. The old lady’s Infinite Water Curtain also failed to capture its tail, letting it slip back,” said Water Mother, leaning on a crystal walking stick, her voice heavy with age.

Water Mother had a kind and gentle appearance. She came from the Jellyfish Palace in the Northern Cold Continent and was one of just two female Divinity Transformation True Monarchs in the Tianzhu Realm.

Though a female cultivator, Water Mother was ruthless and wicked, hating evil as if it were a personal enemy, firm and stubborn, and in life, she was no less than any man.

“It’s a pity that Ying Zhao and Huori, two Taoist friends, aren’t here. With their Luotian Law Net Divine Power, they would never have let that old ghost escape,” remarked Lin Yizhi, showing regret.

“Hmph, I’ve heard that there are some troubles over at the Shattered Star Sea. Those two are currently busy putting out fires and cannot spare the time,” the Flame Emperor said coldly.

“Yes, Blood God’s Son is skulking about in the Shattered Star Sea, mingling with the remnants of the Spirit Clan. I fear this will not end well,” Lin Yizhi noted.

“What Master Lin said makes sense. As I know, Wang Xusheng has already allied with the Sea Dominator Octopus and the Jiao Long Clan, and the powers of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect and other Demon Sects are also restless. The Shattered Star Sea is indeed fraught with trouble,” interjected the old monk Huie Tong.

Hearing this, Xie Wuxu fell into deep thought, seemingly stirred by the conversation.

However, Lin Yizhi was unconcerned, “Why bother about such a remote place. This impending tribulation alone is enough to keep us busy.

If this is all the Netherworld Ghost Realm has up its sleeve, I too endorse the Infinite Merit plan.”

“If that’s the case, Jellyfish Palace could also lend a hand,” said Water Mother.

No sooner had Water Mother spoken, than the Flame Emperor said, “It’s still premature for such matters; I shall abstain from participating for now.

Furthermore, I remind you all that the Cultivation Forces of the Human Clan from the Netherworld Ghost Realm have yet to show themselves till now. There must be something amiss. Master Xie, think carefully before you act!”

Xie Wuxu awoke from his reverie and remarked, “Flame Emperor, your reminder is sensible. I nearly overlooked the Netherworld Ghost Realm’s Human Clan. A millennium ago, the Alien World Human Clan was the main force invading our realm. Yet today, not a single one has appeared, instead letting two monsters steal the spotlight—it’s very odd indeed!”

“What’s so odd about it! Today’s display was merely the opponent’s continued probing. Not even a Divinity Transformation True Monarch made a move. It seems they’re also testing our firepower,” Lin Yizhi commented.

“The mere cannon fodder present hints to me that the true onset of the war might still be two to three months away.”

“The Flame Emperor is indeed formidable, instantly seeing through the schemes of the Netherworld Ghost Realm.”
