Chapter 389 Final Assault on the Mighty Pass: Nascent Soul Battle
"What I think..."
Lei Yao asked herself a question, and then smiled bitterly.
"What I think is not important. Family background is ultimately an external factor. In the cultivation world, strength is paramount."
That's all.
There was a hint of envy in her eyes when she looked at Wang Yu.
After many years, Wang Yu had already achieved the Nascent Soul stage. Back then, she was even slightly stronger than him, but she was surpassed. Even now, Lei Yao is only at the late Core Formation stage.
It is still a long way from the Nascent Soul stage.
"By the way, how old are you this year, fellow Daoist?"
Seeing the other party's keen curiosity, Wang Yu decided not to reveal his true age, since he was not even two hundred years old. Even with his many adventures, his cultivation speed was still too astonishing.
Throughout history, there has been no one who can rival him in terms of cultivation speed alone.
There was no one there!
"two hundred."
Even if you put it in a more conservative way, Lei Yao was still shocked. Her thin, red lips were so big that half an egg could fit inside them.
"Brother Dao, your talent is unparalleled and rare in this world."
"Maybe."
This time, Wang Yu did not deny that the help brought by the innate demonic fetus was actually no less than that of the placement column, and could even play a significant role in cultivation after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
After chatting for a while, the two finally got down to business.
There is only one topic.
Should I join her team?
Although the other party didn't ask so directly, the meaning was conveyed very effectively.
"If Fellow Daoist Lei doesn't mind, I, Wang, will follow you for a while. What do you say?"
"Very good."
He already possessed the face of a demon, so it was only natural for him to have a position among the demons. As for his treatment, he didn't care much about it.
The dramatic changes at Qifeng Pass foreshadowed an earlier-than-expected start to the war.
Putting aside what position he might get, he could pick up so many spoils of war that his hands would be sore.
in addition.
The old ancestor in green robes is hiding in Qifeng Pass. He has searched for him several times in the past few days using the blood of the city lord of Meiling, but he is still in the pass and there has been no movement for a long time.
This made him very suspicious that something might have happened to Qingyi.
With Yang Lei Zhenjun mobilizing so many people to launch a strong attack on Qifeng Pass, Li Mingsheng's matter was clearly just a side issue; the other side seemed to have great confidence in breaking through this formidable pass.
Wang Yu's temporary addition won't have much impact on the battle; the outcome won't change because of him, and the issue of faction dynamics is even less relevant.
He doesn't belong to any faction at all.
As for the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, if it weren't for the reasons why he couldn't leave in the early stages, he would have betrayed the sect long ago. He has invested so much energy over the years, and leaving at this time would result in too much sunk cost.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even bother to conceal his identity.
The following days.
The Yunxiao Warships on Taihu Lake are providing support, launching daily harassing attacks. Nascent Soul level combatants have not yet entered the fray; those who die are merely cannon fodder.
This made Wang Yu somewhat suspicious.
Setting up such a large formation, yet only engaging in harassment and feints... something just doesn't seem right.
"Could it be that their real target is elsewhere?"
My thoughts turned.
His only thought was to capture Qifeng Pass. Such a formidable pass could only be breached from the inside out, so he was thinking about an inside man. Furthermore, the fact that the Green-Clad Ancestor had not moved for so long was also a point of suspicion.
Right now, before the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect sends more Nascent Soul cultivators, there is still a sliver of opportunity and possibility to launch a rapid, forceful, and blitzkrieg-style attack.
A diversionary tactic? A pincer attack to catch reinforcements? Or a two-pronged attack from both inside and outside?
Unfortunately, Wang Yu's identity is unlikely to be fully accepted. Even if Lei Yao believes in him, Yang Lei Zhenjun will not allow him to have access to the decision-making process of this war.
Just when Wang Yu thought it would be a long period of intense and agonizing fighting, the change came suddenly, rapidly, and unexpectedly!
The next day.
In the rear of the Taihu cultivators' army, Wang Yu and Lei Yao sat comfortably on a high tower, with a Go board in front of them, a teacup in their left hand and a Go piece between their right.
Like two old friends, they enjoyed the peaceful and natural atmosphere.
Just then.
The cloud-piercing warships trembled violently, and five thick beams of light shot out from the bow of the warships, sweeping vertically from front to back like a sweeping operation, carving out deep furrows.
Countless cultivators perished as a result, vaporizing and disappearing like ants, leaving not a trace of their existence.
Terrifying!
This is—the [Cloud-Piercing Extinction Divine Light]!!!
A solid, large-scale, fourth-order offensive tactic.
Once the powerful weapon was used, it immediately wiped out a large number of demonic cultivators stationed at Qifeng Pass, turning the situation into a one-sided affair.
The cultivators of the Taihu Army leaped onto the tops of the pillars in the Iron Stone Forest like locusts, bombarding the defensive formation deployed at Qifeng Pass with various spells and spiritual light.
Wang Yu and Lei Yao exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
"The situation has changed. It seems that Fellow Daoist Yang Lei has found the opportunity to win."
"Let's go take a look."
"good."
The two emerged together, transforming into two streaks of light and landing on the foremost cloud-piercing warship. Here, besides the main commander, True Monarch Yang Lei, there were also two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
They were all from the ranks of the patriarchs of the Thunderfire Temple.
They are respectively called [Burning Heart True Lord] and [Purple Lightning True Lord].
Upon seeing the two approach, he simply nodded and began speaking to himself.
"The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect sent two people here: one is the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yougu Feng Clan, Ancestor Yunyan, and the other is the Black Heaven Talisman Lord, who came from Fengzhou... If we can kill both of them here..."
"The price we paid during this period of time is nothing."
Upon hearing this...
Wang Yu's eyes lit up. He finally understood why the Green-Clad Ancestor had remained stationary in Qifeng Pass. The Yougu Feng Clan only had two Nascent Soul Ancestors in total.
Qingyi and Yunyan were both at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.
If they all perish here, the Feng clan will be devoured by their enemies.
but.
To his surprise, Black Heaven Talisman Lord also came. The situation in Fengzhou was not good; there were too few Nascent Soul cultivators to defend against.
Wang Yu felt there was something wrong with this.
But I can't quite put my finger on it.
After Yang Lei, Fen Xin and the others briefly explained the situation, they assigned opponents to the others. In addition to the two Nascent Soul cultivators who came to support them, Qifeng Pass already had Nascent Soul cultivators stationed there.
Yang Lei Zhenjun is in command and it is inconvenient for him to participate in the battle.
Therefore, the task finally fell to Wang Yu, and he did not refuse, directly choosing the target.
"I'll entrust it to Ancestor Yunyan."
"good."
"Fellow Daoist Wang, pay attention to the signal. If you cannot take it after three rounds of attacks, retreat to the rear immediately. Do not linger in the battle."
Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.
Regardless of their tactical objectives, he already considered the two Nascent Soul elders of the Yougu Feng Clan as his own, and he needed to carefully plan how to fight this battle.
Some of our methods need to be kept well hidden.
"Walk!"
True Monarch Purple Lightning was a young cultivator who wore a purple lightning robe and a long crown of electric snakes. A cultivator's appearance and state of mind can, to some extent, reflect his state of mind.
This person is warlike and arrogant.
"I will challenge him myself, and he will surely kneel down and beg for mercy."
He took the lead, transforming into a purple lightning bolt and soaring into the sky, his voice carrying for miles around.
"Black Sky brat, get out here and tell your Purple Lightning grandpa!"
Seeing this scene.
Wang Yu found it somewhat interesting. He had briefly fought with Heitian Fujun and knew that he was not a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like Qingyi, but rather a nine-inch Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Great Black Heaven Talisman in his hand was the most destructive and deadly talismanic power that Wang Yu had ever seen, almost as destructive as the Great Dao of Space.
Iron Stone Forest Battlefield.
The ground and low-altitude areas are the battlefields for those below the Nascent Soul stage, while the high-altitude areas are where Nascent Soul cultivators confront and fight. If a chase were to take place, the battlefield would likely expand by three thousand miles.
As Zi Dian shouted, the rather vain Black Heaven Talisman Lord emerged from Qifeng Pass, holding the Black Heaven Talisman Banner in his right hand and standing in the void.
He sneered.
"What purple lightning or green lightning? Grandpa can kill you in half a moment."
In an instant, special talismans with black backgrounds and red patterns flew everywhere, transforming into long dragons of talismans that spun like silkworms and swept towards the purple lightning.
"Smack—"
With a crisp sound, the Purple Lightning True Lord's natal magic weapon was different from others; it was a long whip that crackled with lightning, and the blades on it resembled the spine of a hedgehog.
When the current surged, they all stood upright.
Countless purple electric fragments shot out, tearing the approaching dragon of talismans into pieces. The initial exchange was relatively stable, but Black Heaven Talisman Lord was clearly not going all out yet.
One by one, black talismans were lit, and black fireballs, carrying temperatures that could melt everything, distorted the air with intense heat.
at the same time.
A giant hand formed from endless clouds suddenly materialized from the void and grabbed Zidian.
It was none other than the Nascent Soul cultivator from Qifeng Pass—Ancestor Yunyan!
"How dare you!!"
With a loud shout, Burning Heart transformed into a crimson fire dragon in front of everyone, suddenly rushing out to block Purple Lightning's path.
This is the "True Technique of the Fiery Dragon".
One of the top techniques of the Thunderfire Sect's Fire Path, when cultivated to perfection and continuously upgraded and transformed, this innate divine power can transform him into a true fire dragon, until he reaches the Great Dao of Divine Transformation.
At that time.
Wang Yu disappeared from his spot at some unknown time. A sudden cry of surprise rang out from somewhere in the clouds high in the sky, and all the white clouds within dozens of miles were blown away.
A streak of flame swept across a distance of several kilometers.
It crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Wang Yu stepped on Yunyan Patriarch, whose face was contorted in pain as if he had eaten shit, and laughed.
"Old man, sneak attacks are not the way of the strong."
In his words, Wang has already regarded himself as a righteous and powerful figure, completely forgetting what he used to enjoy doing most, and immediately standing on the moral high ground to condemn others.
I felt extremely happy.
Yet he also vaguely understood the comfort of being a righteous and wise person.
Both sides face each other simultaneously.
Another figure flew out from Qifeng Pass. Wang Yu glanced at it with his divine sense and found that it was an unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator facing off against the Flame Dragon, the incarnation of the Burning Heart True Monarch. He didn't care much.
He only had eyes for Ancestor Yunyan.
And he discovered a strange problem: Yunyan... seemed not to recognize him?
That's a bit strange.
The old ancestor in green robes was so badly injured by him that he fled. After using the Nascent Soul Transfer Technique, he did not return to the Yougu Feng Clan. He probably knew that Yunyan had been transferred to Qifeng Pass.
Given their proximity, it's theoretically reasonable for them to rush to their aid and seek self-preservation.
after all.
Regardless of their private rivalry, they are both the patriarchs of the Feng clan in public. The death of either of them would be a major loss for the Feng clan, leading to a significant reduction in the clan's power.
Therefore, Wang Yu never considered the possibility of dogs fighting each other.
But... what if?!
These two are from the same lineage, and due to their limited aptitude, it is difficult for them to continue to break through. However, in the Crimson Phoenix Demon Realm, the limitations of talent are limited. When encountering difficulties, they should think more about their families.
All the problems were then solved.
If Ancestor Yunyan could use evil methods and strange techniques to devour the Nascent Soul in green robes and break through to a higher realm, then it would make sense for them to attack each other.
Chi Yuan never lacked the pursuit of higher realms and greater power.
A ruthless and heartless traitor who directly sacrifices his entire clan!
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but in reality, it was only a fleeting moment. The Cloud Smoke Ancestor, who was being trampled under Wang Yu's feet, suddenly transformed into a cloud and dispersed.
It recombines its form hundreds of meters away.
With a grim expression, he flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly. A surge of demonic energy within him dispelled all the filth and grime. He then squinted at Wang Yu.
"A fourth-tier body refiner... I never expected there to be such a ruthless person as you, fellow Daoist. How about we have a chat?"
Wang Yu heard this.
The ground beneath his feet instantly shattered, and with a powerful stomp, his speed became invisible to the naked eye. The moment he threw his fist, the air tore apart and exploded into white waves.
Ancestor Yunyan unleashed a special magical artifact for defense.
Clouds!
This item is also his natal magic weapon. It is a special gas magic weapon in the form of smoke. It can be used for both offense and defense, adapt to various situations, and immediately take effect.
This is also the origin of his name.
——【The Ever-Changing Heavenly Net of Smoke】!
Using a technique of deflecting force with minimal effort, he managed to deflect Wang Yu's air punch, but the impact still propelled him backward from the iron stone forest.
It smashed many iron and stone pillars along the way.
high altitude.
Cloud-piercing warship.
Yang Lei Zhenjun had been observing Wang Yu. Although Wang Yu had saved his second son and had a relationship with Lei Yao, Lei Yao had told him some things about Wang Yu.
Whether or not you trust someone shouldn't be judged based on Lei Yao's feelings.
Instead, it is a decision made from a fair standpoint.
At this moment, they discovered that Wang Yu was pursuing the path of physical body refinement, and they did not see any demonic supernatural powers or demonic magic treasures refined with human blood and bones.
A sense of identification arises spontaneously.
"If we can severely damage Yunyan, we may appoint him to a military position and provide him with a salary."
The quartermaster beside him nodded in agreement.
"Your Excellency is wise. No matter what, Senior Wang is a Nascent Soul cultivator. For Miss Lei's sake, he should have been given a fixed income long ago."
"Otherwise, if word gets out, the outside world will think that our Thunderfire Temple is too arrogant and looks down on the service of Nascent Soul cultivators."
Yang Lei Zhenjun glanced at him speechlessly and said irritably.
"You're so smart, we'll talk about this later."
"Prepare to mobilize the Cloud Sky Warships. Although our main strategy has been feints, it is not uncommon for us to go all out. If we can capture Qifeng Pass, our advantage over Taihu Lake will be even stronger in the subsequent war."
"yes!"
Black Mountain Pass was originally controlled by the Taihu Spiritual Domain, corresponding to Blood Abyss Prefecture. Qifeng Pass corresponds to Night Qiong Prefecture, and there is another formidable pass in Maple Prefecture controlled by the Holy Sect.
Except for Yunling Prefecture, which does not border the northern border mountain range.
These three passes are the most dangerous meat grinders on the northern battlefield. Another team, composed of Wangyue Palace and Biyun Sect, is headed for Fengzhou's formidable pass—[Binghe Pass]!
Everything is going smoothly over there, and we should be able to secure it barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Yang Lei Zhenjun was thinking that if he could take Qifeng Pass, Taihu would be able to control the three passes, and use this as a starting point to launch a long-range attack into the four states under the control of the Ni Ling Xue Zong.
It has great strategic significance.
We have to thank Huangquan Temple and Hehuan Demon Sect for finding this opportunity, as they involved a large number of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
At this moment, Wang Yu and Ancestor Yunyan had traveled a long way.
The other party suddenly shouted.
"Fellow Daoist, how much did they give you? Why force them to this point?!"
First update.
The second update should be in the middle of the night, which will be quite late.
