Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Decisive Battle with the Evil Nest (Part 1)

“`

Weifa City, at the city gates.

The doors, originally severely deformed by the onslaught of the giant centipede, had been urgently repaired and completely restored, engraved with new magical formations shining with a dark golden light.

At this moment, the city gates were wide open, with eight hundred cultivators arrayed in front.

High above on the city walls, five Suppressing Evil Warships arranged themselves in an attack formation, with the flagship’s war banner fluttering vigorously in the wind.

The Suppressing Evil Warships were treasure-grade flying warships, considered heavy weapons of the sects protecting their strongholds—they had not been utilized during the most intense battle the day before, but today, they had emerged in full force!

The White Monarch True Person had clearly made up his mind to have a decisive battle with the evil monsters.

This Golden Core True Person presided over the flagship, his voice clearly carrying into everyone’s ears, “Disciples, follow me and annihilate the enemies and purge the evil!”

The five warships began to move forward.

“Yes sir!”

Eight hundred cultivators roared in unison and, utilizing their movement techniques, closely followed the warships.

In a blink, they had left Weifa City behind.

The city gates closed with a booming sound, and in the skies above, the clouds of evil qi roiled violently, with lightning snakes darting through and thunder rumbling.

It was as if heralding the arrival of a great battle!

The detected Evil Nest was only thirty li from Weifa City, which for a Purple Mansion cultivator, though not at arm’s length, was merely the distance of a half-cup-of-tea’s worth of flying.

Everyone soon saw the target of this battle!

Between two earthen mounds stood a giant cocoon hundreds of feet tall.

The cocoon was thick in the middle, its surface a dark red hue, and it was covered with black growths that were hideous to behold.

The sizes of the growths varied, but all had large gashes, with countless evil spirits drilling in and out, creating a busy scene.

Around the giant cocoon, a vast expanse of evil fog spread, covering miles in every direction, concealing who knows how many evil monsters within!

As the Suppressing Evil Warships led the eight hundred cultivators close to the Evil Nest, the evil monsters that lurked there immediately erupted into chaos.

Numerous monster spirits and evil wraiths swarmed out of the cocoon, charging towards the cultivators in a dark, oppressive wave.

At the same time, the growths on top of the Evil Nest contracted violently and twitched before suddenly ejecting beams of dark light.

The targets were the Suppressing Evil Warships!

These beams, filled with dense evil qi, were incredibly fast, instantly traversing thousands of steps and striking the five Suppressing Evil Warships.

However, they were blocked by the protective barriers activated by the warships, causing only ripples of impact to spread.

The next moment, the light from the prow of the warships grew intense, and five thick beams of devastating divine light bombarded the Giant Cocoon Evil Nest in unison.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With the Giant Cocoon Evil Nest being such a large and immobile target, it was hit squarely without fail.

Instantly, five deep holes appeared on its surface, with dark red fluid spurting out.

The God-Slaying Cannons equipped on the Suppressing Evil Warships were more powerful than those of Weifa City, and a salvo caused considerable damage to the Evil Nest.

A few more barrages like that, and destroying the Evil Nest would be no problem at all.

However, things were far from going smoothly; the wounded Evil Nest suddenly seemed to “come to life,” swaying and contracting as the holes created by the divine light of destruction rapidly closed up.

At the same time, the top of the Evil Nest bloomed like a lotus, and a gigantic centipede emerged, spreading its crimson blood wings and soaring into the sky.

It engaged in fierce combat with the Suppressing Evil Warships!

On the ground, the horde of evil monsters pouring out from the Evil Nest clashed with the eight hundred cultivators in close combat.

Their first encounter faced the onslaught of the cultivators’ spells—showers of fire raining down from the sky, streaks of lightning cleaving through the air, and countless wind blades, ice spears, and earth spikes mixed in.

And flying swords.

The evil monsters at the forefront fell in swathes, just like wheat reaped by a sickle.

But their numbers were too great; the gap created by the cultivators’ first wave of attack was quickly filled in. Piercing shrieks, the sound of venom spraying, and roars filled with savagery intertwined, jarring the minds of all the cultivators.

Screech~

Vast numbers of black eagles appeared in the sky.

Evil creatures came from the surface, underground, and the air, like torrents that suddenly surrounded the Evil-Suppressing Legion.

“Kill!”

Eight hundred Purple Mansion cultivators formed the simplest defensive formation, repelling the evil monsters on the outskirts, allowing those inside to cast group attack spells with full force.

Some cultivators also targeted the black eagles in the sky.

If one were to look down from high above, the eight hundred Purple Mansion battle formation would resemble a reef amidst raging waves, withstanding fierce assaults from all directions.

As if it could be submerged at any moment!

“Thunder!”

Wang Chen stood in the front line, facing countless evil creatures head-on.

Unafraid, he repeatedly unleashed Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to strike down the enemy, creating a dead zone in front of him.

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder wasn’t a secret art of the sect; any Inner Sect Disciple could exchange merit points to learn this Dharma technique, and thus many among the eight hundred cultivators mastered it.

However, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder they cast paled in power compared to Wang Chen’s, their lethality significantly lesser.

But in the chaos of battle, no one paid attention to this. The only thought in every cultivator’s mind was one.

And that was to slaughter all evil creatures, to destroy the Evil Nest!

“Be careful!”

Suddenly, the ground beneath Wang Chen gave way, and a black tentacle shot out of the earth, coiling around his left calf in an instant.

The surface of the tentacle was covered in mouthparts; sharp white teeth desperately gnawing at Wang Chen’s Body Protection Shield Armor!

But they failed to pierce it.

Donning the Bauhinia Spirit Armor not only didn’t hinder cultivators from reinforcing themselves with the Heavy Light Shield Armor, but it also enhanced the body protection spell, combining to form a dual defense that foiled the evil monster’s surprise attack.

The tentacle looped upwards, attempting to entangle Wang Chen completely.

Wang Chen certainly wouldn’t let it have its way, striking down with a palm and hitting the revolting appendage.

Bang!

The power of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm burst forth, and the black tentacle shattered into pieces, with sludge splattering everywhere.

These fluids contained corrosive poison, but they could do nothing to Wang Chen, who was equipped with the Bauhinia Spirit Armor.

And there were many other cultivators who suffered tentacle attacks like Wang Chen, and although everyone could handle it, the battle formation inevitably became disordered.

Clang~

Accompanied by a resonant bell sound, a Golden Bell suddenly appeared above the battle formation, radiating thousands of rays of light.

Under the bath of golden light, every cultivator’s spirit was lifted, while the tentacles that were similarly illuminated melted away like snow under a scorching sun, emitting wisps of black smoke.

They quickly retracted back into the ground!

And the cultivator who summoned this level of Magical Treasure, the Golden Bell, was none other than the Sect War General commanding the eight hundred cultivators!

A Sect War General is not a mundane martial general. Those who bear this title are mostly individuals who entered the Tao through martial arts and cultivated to the high tiers of Purple Mansion, possessing formidable strength and rich experience, with premier combat capabilities.

Only such cultivators are qualified to wield Evil-Suppressing Magical Treasures!

“Charge!”

After repelling the tentacles, the Sect War General at the core bellowed, “Break through the Evil Nest!”

The battle formation of eight hundred cultivators changed accordingly!
