Chapter 988 Three Years of War
Tens of thousands of cultivators and monsters were entangled on the Jinfeng Slope. Magical instruments, talismans, spells, puppets, and all kinds of spiritual lights lit up, turning the monsters into pieces of meat. However, one cultivator after another ran out of spiritual power and died tragically on the spot.
Such a brutal war is rare even in the Tianhe Realm.
Chen Mobai's Ten Thousand Swords Dharma Body stood in mid-air, confronting the Blue Sea King and others outside the formation. With him and Mo Douguang supporting the formation, none of the Dongwu monks who chose to join the battlefield dared to retreat.
Because the Five Elements Sect’s announcement clearly stated that anyone who retreats on the battlefield will have all their merit points cancelled.
Therefore, facing the surging monsters from the wild sea, all the human cultivators gritted their teeth and persevered, fighting their opponents with all their might.
Behind the demon clan, there are also demon kings supporting them. Their concept of hierarchy is even stricter. Even though they know they are going to die, they still rush into the Wanchuan Guihai Formation in waves with weapons in hand.
Gradually, the originally yellow earth and green hillsides were dyed red with blood.
Mo Douguan was suspended in the air with a cold gaze. The sword in his hand glowed like the scorching sun. Every time he swung it, a small group of demons turned into pieces.
But the number of the Wild Sea Monsters was too large, like a tide, pouring into the Wanchuan Guihai Formation wave after wave.
Moreover, the Blue Sea King and the others are also trying their best to reduce the power of the formation, so Mo Douguan has to keep most of his attention on them.
However, if a powerful third-order monster that requires the joint efforts of several Jindan cultivators to deal with appears on the battlefield, Mo Douguang will still control the Sword of Immortality and kill it, thus relieving the pressure on the Five Elements Sect and Dongwu cultivators.
Compared to the independent cultivators who formed their own battle formations, the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect formed different battle formations. Some camps used their magic weapons to flash together, and at the moment of close combat, they turned the incoming monsters into meat paste; some camps used magic spells to bloom like fireworks, sending the monsters to hell before they could rush over.
"put!"
An old man with white hair and wearing dark gold armor looked at the large group of monsters that were rushing over again and shouted at the Five Elements Sect cultivators who were setting up another formation.
In an instant, thousands of talismans were activated and transformed into fireballs, thunder, wind blades, frost swords, etc., turning the group of monsters that had just rushed into the Wanchuan Guihai Formation into corpses.
Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang were in charge of the overall situation in mid-air, but a commander-in-chief was needed on the battlefield, and this position originally belonged to Zhuo Ming.
However, after she went back to recuperate, the position became vacant. In terms of seniority, Sheng Zhaoxi should be the next in line.
But she was not very proficient in it, and the same was true for Ning Leshan. Although he was the manager of the Jinmai, he was better at fighting and killing alone.
In the end, it was Chen Mobai who made the decision and let his apprentice Duan Shuyu take the position.
Before Duan Shuyu started practicing, he was a great general who led the army of Zhao to unify the Eastern Wasteland. After becoming a disciple of Jiang Zongheng, he practiced the Baidi Bingxiang Sutra given by Chen Mobai.
This Golden Immortal Scripture is a method of fighting. Only under such circumstances can it play the greatest role, condense the murderous aura of heaven and earth, and even lay the foundation for Duan Shuyu to make further progress.
And Duan Shuyu did not disappoint Chen Mobai. In the first battle, he commanded the 30,000 cultivators of the Five Elements Sect here with ease and brought out their most powerful combat power.
The army of the Five Elements Sect was divided into square formations. Some held shield-shaped magic weapons and were responsible for defense at the outermost edge; some absorbed spiritual energy in the middle and cast powerful spells that required time to guide; there were also flanking troops who controlled spiritual beasts and puppets.
There is also a talisman force standing at the top of the mountain, providing fire support wherever the battle is urgent.
At this time, no one cared about the consumption of talismans. Box after box of talismans on the top of the mountain were used up, and turned into overwhelming colorful magical light, which fell on the place where the most monsters gathered, causing violent explosions.
Every explosion will take away the lives of a group of demons.
Under Duan Shuyu's command, the Five Elements Sect's army performed well, stabilized the center, and blocked the advance of the Wild Sea Monster Clan.
On both sides, although the major families and independent cultivators of Dongwu were in some chaos, they were able to stabilize their position by relying on the Five Elements Sect, and launched the most intense battle with the demon clan halfway up the mountain.
On the side of the Wild Sea Demon Clan, the number of second- and third-order monsters far outnumbered that of the human race. Many of the Five Elements Sect's powerful spells were blocked by the third-order monsters. This resulted in insufficient firepower coverage, causing the originally stalemate battle line to advance towards the top of the mountain.
However, every time this happened, Duan Shuyu would mobilize the rest of the Jindan cultivators from Dongwu and the sect to push back the unbalanced battlefield.
Of course, Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang would occasionally slash out with swords to kill some third-level monsters, which was also a key factor in maintaining balance.
Seeing that another large army of the Wild Sea Monsters had entered the Wanchuan Guihai Formation, Chen Mobai's eyes flashed, and the second Yuanying behind his head flew out, controlling the Yuanyang Sword Evil to condense into a ray of crystal clear light, like a line sweeping across, cutting the two leading third-level monsters and the three thousand low-level monsters behind them into two parts.
Seeing this scene, King Bi Hai knew that since he and other demon kings were unable to enter the formation, there was no way they could break through the Golden Peak Slope in front of them.
"Withdraw!"
King Bi Hai waved his hand and spoke.
Several fourth-level demon kings around it immediately commanded their tribes to withdraw from the Wanchuan Guihai Formation.
Seeing the army of monsters that were originally rushing towards them retreat, the morale of the Five Elements Sect and the Dongwu cultivators was greatly boosted. Even Ning Leshan and others, together with the Dongwu family's Jindan ancestor, chased down the mountain.
It didn't stop until it reached the edge of the Wanchuan Guihai Formation.
Chen Mobai watched the King of the Blue Sea disappear, and landed on the top of Jinfengpo with Mo Douguang.
This is the ancestral land of the Jin family. It has a fourth-level spiritual vein, beautiful scenery, and picturesque landscape. It is well-known in Dongwu.
But after such a fierce war, the place was like a ghost town, with fallen trees, potholes everywhere, corpses of monsters and monks piled up like mountains, and blood flowing like rivers.
After the Wild Sea Monster Clan retreated, many cultivators sat down directly on the spot. Their faces turned pale and they didn't care about their posture. They picked up a spirit stone and began to absorb it to restore their almost overdrawn spiritual power.
This war lasted for half a day, but to many monks, it was just a blink of an eye.
Now that I suddenly relaxed and let out a breath, I felt my trembling body and tired mind.
Before Chen Mobai could say anything, Duan Shuyu had already arranged for the Five Elements Sect's people to patrol the battlefield to prevent anyone from doing something dirty at this time, or secretly attacking their companions.
There was information about a lot of robbery cultivators mixed in the team, and Song Huangda had already found it out a long time ago, and even developed a lot of informants in the small group of robbery cultivators.
Obviously, one cannot expect much from the quality of the robbery cultivators. If after the war, the cultivators who have recovered their spiritual power die at the hands of their own people, then the cohesion and centripetal force of the team will collapse directly.
After Duan Shuyu arranged for the Five Elements Sect's people to patrol and guard, as expected, some cultivators with shining eyes gave up their thoughts and instead took the heads of the monsters they had killed to a temporary tent on the top of the mountain to exchange for merit points.
Some monsters were killed by teams working together, and the Five Elements Sect also opened a collective account accordingly. However, this was mainly for the convenience of the Dongwu Xiuxian family. After all, they wanted to use the strength of the entire family to earn merit points in exchange for Dan-Jing elixirs.
However, compared to the immortal cultivation families, there are more differences among the teams of individual cultivators, so after the benefits are distributed among the teams, one person compensates others, and then goes to the Five Elements Sect alone to exchange merit points.
In addition to outsiders, Chen Mobai also opened this merit point to the Five Elements Sect.
After all, whether it is the three treasures for building the foundation or the elixir for forming the elixir, not everyone can get them, even in the Five Elements Sect.
It is a good opportunity for the cultivators from Dongwu and the disciples from the Five Elements Sect to read it.
Most of these disciples were trained in the peaceful environment of Eastern Wilderness, and lacked ruthlessness and ambition.
This war is a good opportunity for us to hone our skills.
In addition to merit points, the corpse of the monster can also be considered a trophy and belongs to the monk who killed it.
However, few casual cultivators have the ability to process the corpses of monsters and transform their parts into spirit stones.
On the Five Elements Sect's side, the heads of various departments also posted new announcements in a timely manner.
For example, the talisman-making department would purchase the skins of sea creatures. After being processed using special techniques and soaked in potions, they would become very good talisman paper.
People in the Puppet Department would also select some body parts of monsters and modify their own puppets.
There is also refining equipment, refining pills and so on.
It’s just that because low-level monsters don’t have inner elixirs, the alchemy department is of little use here.
But soon, Chen Mobai discovered that the local cultivators in Dongwu had a special way of using the corpses of monsters.
They will use it to make soup, and after adding special medicinal materials, it tastes delicious. After taking it, it can increase the physical strength and blood energy of the monks.
After each war with the Wild Sea Monsters, the entire Jinfeng Slope was filled with large iron pots for cooking soup, with smoke rising from them.
For the body-building monks, this place is almost like a fairyland. The blood and flesh of monsters, which used to be extremely precious to them, are now almost as cheap as cabbage, and they can eat them until they vomit.
Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang also tasted the banquet carefully prepared by the major families of Dongwu. After eating, he took off the fifth-level water spirit talisman and found that his water spirit roots had increased by another five points.
This discovery made him more interested in tasting delicious food.
……
After several direct confrontations, the King of the Blue Sea began to command the Wild Sea Monsters under his command and separated a part of the army, preparing to bypass the coverage of the Wanchuan Guihai Formation and march towards Dongwu or even the Eastern Wilderness.
However, they discovered that in addition to the Wanchuan Guihai Formation, there was another equally powerful formation. The two formations combined covered a range so large that it almost blocked the entire area bordering Dongwu and Yunmengze.
In this case, if the Wild Sea Monsters want to go to the Eastern Wilderness, they will have to break through these two formations.
Or, you could just take a detour and go through the ruins.
But to do so, they would have to bypass the entire Dongwu, and the journey was very long. Moreover, the inland monsters in the ruins were not of the same species as their sea monsters. If they met them, they would most likely fight each other.
Although King Blue Sea was very confident in his own strength, he had no intention of sacrificing his monsters like this.
After all, they come ashore to eat people, not to die.
At this time, half of the demon kings who had been spread out brought another bad news.
Throughout the land of Dongwu, except for the areas covered by the formation, it is almost impossible to find humans. Even if there are humans, they are all in the deep mountains. The old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot run are like chewing wax.
"Let the people from the Jade Mirror Demon Sect come to see me!"
After knowing this, King Bi Hai frowned and said to Jade Bead Demon King.
Half a day later, Wen Buyue, covered in dust, flew out of the tent and returned to where Diao Xianlan was with a grim look on his face. He reported that the Wild Sea Demon Clan wanted them to provide food every day and break the formation as soon as possible.
"Stupid demons!"
After hearing this, Diao Xianlan couldn't hold it in any longer and yelled at the Blue Sea King and his group of demon cultivators from the Wanxian Island.
She is above Dongzhou and is a giant of the magic way second only to Mingzun and ghosts and gods. Even those top Nascent Souls in the Dongzhou Holy Land have to be on high alert when they meet her. They have never been ordered around like this before.
If the King of the Blue Sea was a deity, she would have endured it.
But a mere fourth level...
"Master, what should we do then?"
At this time, Wen Buyue opened his mouth and asked. He had suffered a lot during the time when the monsters in the wild sea came ashore. Every time he went to see those monster kings, he felt that he would never come back.
But the mysterious method of transformation that he needed was in Diao Xianlan's hands. Now that Du Mengyun was dead, he was only one step away from getting it, so he had no choice but to obey.
However, the demon clan really does not treat their demons as human beings.
Wen Buyue, the holy son of the devil, was actually hinted at by the Jade Pearl Demon King to have unspoken rules over him. He was really fed up with it.
"After reaching the shore, can they still go back?"
Diao Xianlan spoke coldly. Wen Buyue thought for a while and suddenly realization appeared on his face.
"I understand, Master!"
The next day, the requested blood food was not delivered by the demon sect. The two-headed demon king was furious and prepared to behead Wen Buyue as a sacrifice.
But Wen Buyue had disappeared long ago.
Afterwards, several demon kings discovered that not only Wen Buyue, but also many of the other demon monks who stayed in the demon camp to lead the way had disappeared.
These are all the core disciples of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect, and the rest are all cannon fodder of the magic path, or are just casual cultivators who have practiced magic skills.
"Kill them all!"
The Jade Bead Demon King had a cold expression on his face. He waved the scented fan in his hand at the dozens of demonic monks who were detained not far away, ready to vent his anger.
"Forget it, keep it. There are some things that only humans can do."
But the King of the Blue Sea shook his head and stopped the Jade Bead Demon King from this wasteful behavior.
"Big Brother, the demons are too shameless. They agreed to join forces, but they just ran away!"
The two-headed demon king was very angry.
"Diao Xianlan did this because she saw that we had already reached the shore and would not turn back. What the Demonic Path needs is only to contain or consume the strength of the Righteous Path. The battlefield in Dongwu is insignificant to the overall situation. It's also my fault for pushing too hard before..."
At this time, King Bi Hai also figured out why the Jade Mirror Demon Sect disappeared.
When Little Demon Lord and Diao Xianlan made the oath, it was only a cooperation between the two sides and they could not attack each other, but directly escaping was not within the scope of the backlash of the oath.
With millions of Wild Sea monsters coming ashore, the amount of blood and food they need to consume every day is simply not something the Jade Mirror Demon Sect can afford.
When it is certain that a task cannot be completed, simply giving up and disappearing is a good idea.
"Damn it, the human race is all cowards. Tai Shi Weiguang ran away with the Ten Thousand Stars Alliance, and Diao Xianlan also ran away with the Jade Mirror Demon Sect. Do we still have to fight?"
After the two-headed demon king cursed for a while, he suddenly realized that of the contract originally signed by the three parties, only their Wanxian Island was left. He suddenly felt a sense of being plotted against and was very unhappy.
"Let's fight first. The Five Elements Sect can't do anything to us anyway."
However, the King of the Blue Sea had no intention of retreating.
There are so many demon kings here. As long as they are not the gods from the Holy Land of the East, they can do whatever they want in Dongwu.
Just think of it as if you are tired of staying in the sea and take a trip here.
With this mentality, the Wild Sea Demon Clan swept through the spiritual places in Dongwu that were vacated by the Five Elements Sect, while gathering a large army to attack the formation.
In addition to the Wanchuan Guihai Formation, the Blue Sea King also went to the Tushita Demon Refining Formation.
However, compared to the Wanchuan Guihai Formation, the level of this formation is slightly higher. Chen Mobai also placed his Tushita Eight Scenery Lamp in the center of the formation as a spiritual hub.
Moreover, this formation does not only have defensive power, it also has the fire to refine demons.
Tens of thousands of Wild Sea monsters thought that the Wanchuan Guihai Formation only had suppressive power, so they rushed in carelessly and were hit head-on by the overwhelming purple and green divine fire. Although these flames were only one percent of the power of the Tushita Fire due to their dispersion, they were reduced to ashes in an instant when they touched the low-level monsters.
Although the remaining third-order monsters survived the purple-green flames, they were surrounded and killed by the Five Elements Sect's army led by Tai Sui Tongzi, Yin Qingmei and others who had been waiting there.
Outside the formation, Chen Mobai controlled the Ten Thousand Swords Dharma Body and fought with the Blue Sea King and the other three fourth-level demon kings.
After being blessed by the Fruit of Dao Law, the Wanjian Dharma Body became even more powerful than when he fought against the Little Demon Lord.
The pair of flying swords, Purple Lightning and Green Frost, almost burst out with 100% of their power under his control. The huge Yin-Yang Sword Array enveloped the area, covering the Blue Sea King and the three fourth-level demon kings.
Chen Mobai fought one against four and trapped them for three days and three nights. Finally, due to lack of true energy, he had to disperse the Liangyi Sword Formation to let his opponents escape.
After this battle, King Bi Hai also realized that Chen Mobai’s strength was indeed superior to his own.
After realizing this, it was even more reluctant to miss this opportunity.
The two sides are already mortal enemies. With the talent of this Yiyuan Taoist, if he obtains the Tongsheng Zhenling Pill, he will most likely become a god. By then, the Wanxian Island in the Wilderness Sea will probably be destroyed.
The King of the Blue Sea no longer divided his troops, but gathered millions of demons and frantically attacked the Wanchuan Guihai Formation.
Compared to the Tushita Demon Refining Formation which is suppressed by a fifth-rank magic weapon, this formation can actually better take advantage of the large number of Wild Sea monsters.
Because the Wanchuan Guihai Formation covers a huge area, demons can pour in from everywhere.
Although the main battlefield was still at Jinfengpo, a large number of low-level monsters appeared in the formation and rushed towards the counties where people gathered.
However, this large-scale fluctuation of demonic energy could not be hidden from Chen Mobai, the master of the formation.
The main battlefield at Jinfengpo was unable to mobilize the cultivators from the Five Elements Sect and Dongwu because it had to withstand the attacks of the army of monsters every day. But after a test by the King of the Blue Sea on the Xiaoqingling side, only a few lost monsters would come over.
So Chen Mobai left Tai Sui Tongzi and Liu Wenbai to guard the place, and the remaining three Jindan cultivators including Yin Qingmei led the disciples of the Five Elements Sect and began to kill the demon clan on a larger scale than before.
Soon, the independent cultivators of Dongwu and the major families also discovered that compared to fighting on the battlefield, they could better play to their advantages by encircling and suppressing the monsters in a large formation, because this was a small-scale group battle.
Therefore, after obtaining permission, the hundreds of thousands of independent cultivators who had originally gathered in Xiaoqingling began to patrol the twelve counties of Dongwu in groups.
Because of the positioning provided by Chen Mobai, the master of the formation, they can easily find the monsters that sneaked in.
After one battle after another, the demon clan suffered huge losses, and the human race also suffered many casualties.
But compared to the main battlefield, these are not so tragic.
On the other side of Jinfengpo, there was blood and death almost every moment inside and outside the barrier surrounding the Wanchuan Guihai Formation.
Under the protection of the two great formations, the Five Elements Sect struggled to block the million-strong demon army from the Wild Sea on the land of Dongwu, allowing the people of the Eastern Wilderness to live and work in peace.
Time flies, and three years have passed quickly.
The Wild Sea Monster Clan has lost more than 200,000 troops on the land of Dongwu, but the Five Elements Sect and Dongwu cultivators have also lost tens of thousands of people on the battlefield.
But at this time, all those who could survive on the battlefield were elite troops.
There was a cold look on everyone's face, and they would show no mercy in killing the monsters.
"Master, there are traces of monsters in the ruins outside Beiyuan City."
On this day, in the tent, General Song Huang handed the jade slip he had just received to Chen Mobai with a serious expression.
After reading it, Chen Mobai sighed heavily.
A lot has happened in three years.
Faced with the attack from the Black Dragon King's Court and the monsters from the ruins, most of the Dongyi territory had already been lost.
Only the core area where Kongsang Valley is located and the coastline covered by the radiation of Jinwu Immortal City are still under the control of human cultivators.
On the Five Elements Sect side, Zhou Ye saw that the situation was not good and had already led everyone back to Beiyuan City.
The large teleportation array originally set up on Mingjing Mountain could only be destroyed to cut off the possibility of monsters and beasts passing through it and directly entering the Dongtu Fairy City.
After the ruins occupied more than half of Dongyi, most of them besieged the Jinwu Immortal City, while a part of them, under their leadership, headed towards Dongyue.
The natural ruins between Dongyi and Dongyue are like their own home to the monsters that originally lived there.
Faced with this situation, the Xingtian Dao Sect could no longer sit still. Xing Ji personally rushed back from the front line and sent people to reinforce the Jinwu Immortal City. At the same time, he contracted the defense and transferred all the sect disciples from all over Dongyue back to Shicheng, intending to abandon the rest of the territory and only defend this key gateway to the East.
Three years later, the monsters in the wasteland finally realized that there was a paradise called East Wasteland.
"Brother Zhou, please lead the five battalions of disciples back to provide support."
After reading it, Chen Mobai said to Zhou Ye beside him.
After withdrawing from Dongyi, Zhou Shengqing sent Zhou Ye over because the war in Dongwu was tense.
"Yes, Master Junior Brother."
Zhou Ye nodded slightly, then immediately stood up and directed the Five Elements Sect disciples he brought from Beiyuan City to return to Beiyuan City via the teleportation array and flying boat.
"Junior brother, if we fight on two fronts, we may not be able to hold on. Have you ever thought about giving up Dongwu?"
After Zhou Ye arranged the manpower, he returned to the tent and asked Chen Mobai a question.
