Chapter 377 - 196: Black Clouds Press the City, Where Does the Alliance Leader Return? (2)
Now it has developed to the point where it can refine alchemy, producing various systems like Blood Coagulation Pill, Blood Demon Pill, Blood Boiling Powder, and so forth.
Of course, the greatest use is still direct consumption, more suitable for the physique of Blood Cultivators.
Several people around couldn’t help but nod. As the war progressed, they gradually became deeply interested in this new Daluo Alliance.
Initially, everyone thought that with the joint forces of the three major Purple Mansion Sects, launching a siege on a power that had only developed for ten years would be a crushing process.
Where the allied forces passed, the Daluo Alliance should have quickly collapsed.
However, the progress of the war was a world apart from what they had anticipated.
Not to mention the strength of the Daluo Alliance, but these Blood Cultivators nurtured by the Daluo Alliance were almost all fearless of death.
Especially in the opening battle, the alliance side thought they could quickly occupy a stronghold, dispatching only a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators leading a cultivator army to take over.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an ambush by the Daluo Alliance. The garrison at that stronghold cooperated from within and outside, nearly wiping out the allied forces.
If it weren’t for the alliance’s quick reaction, sending a Purple Mansion Cultivator to the battlefield to forcibly break the ambushing team, turning the alliance vanguard from danger to safety, otherwise, if the alliance vanguard was annihilated, it would undoubtedly make the three major sects the biggest joke.
Imagine the satire of the joint efforts of three veteran Purple Mansion forces being outdone by a newly emerged small power at the Purple Mansion level, taking out the advance force.
In subsequent battles, even when at a disadvantage, members of the Daluo Alliance were still each fearless of death, without considering their own casualties, willing to tear off a piece of flesh from their opponent, even if they died.
Combined with internal disunity, many personnel secretly stirring up trouble, constantly throwing obstacles, this war was progressing quite slowly.
A war that could have ended quickly was slowly delayed due to intense battles and internal consumption.
After about three months, they merely surrounded the Daluo Alliance’s mountain gate, facing significant obstacles to its complete destruction.
Among them, this Nine Yin Profound Yuan Blood Refining Array, an array capable of resisting Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, was on the verge of collapse after repeatedly thwarting Purple Mansion cultivators’ attacks.
But whether it’s Qi Cultivators or higher Foundation Establishment Cultivators, none showed signs of giving up, relying on supplements from Blood Lotus Seeds, repeatedly fending off Purple Mansion cultivators’ assaults.
And just now, the Nine Yin Profound Yuan Blood Refining Array could no longer hold up, reaching a high degree, unable to suppress anymore, and abruptly collapsed.
Out of nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators, three perished, with the remaining cultivators retreating to the Daluo Alliance’s mountain gate, and more than half of the Qi Cultivators were lost, with only a few dozen Qi Cultivators returning to the mountain gate.
"Supreme Elder, didn’t you say the Daluo Alliance’s leader was the greatest threat? How come he hasn’t shown up all this time?!"
"We’re wasting time here, slowing down progress. If the Daluo Alliance’s leader takes this opportunity to escape, isn’t it a complete waste of precious time..."
The representative of the Barbaric Beast Sect, Thunderfire Ascendant, riding on a giant Purple Thunder Roc, was surrounded by flickering waves of weak fire stones, speaking with a disdainful look.
The Barbaric Beast Sect’s cultivators differ from ordinary sects; they originate from the barbarian cultivators of the Chaotic Mountain Range, a remarkably bold race.
Their robust bodies etched with runes, known as totem techniques, draw strength from merging with the beasts beneath them, a source of their powerful strength.
He holds substantial admiration for the courageous Daluo Alliance cultivators, yet he feels disdain towards the so-called mysterious leader who has never appeared.
In his view, the Daluo Alliance’s leader has long since been scared, abandoning the foundation and fleeing without a trace.
Master Baoxu, as the Supreme Elder of the Golden Palace Sect, is not someone Thunderfire Ascendant dares to offend, but he slightly criticizes his cautious attitude towards the mysterious leader, causing slow progress.
He’s merely venting out his thoughts through tone.
"Only barbarians charge into battle; the true commander sits in the center, mobilizing troops to deal with changes with ease, is our civilized orthodox method..."
"Do not pursue desperate enemies. Steadily sitting on the Fishing Platform, Elder Baoxu’s meticulous conduct earns my deep admiration!"
Nearby, an elder enveloped in a black robe, holding a Beast Bone Staff, spoke in a low voice, hiding his expression.
This was a Purple Mansion cultivator of the Star-devouring Demon City, the hall master of Immortal Demon Hall, Ouyang Duo, also the full representative in this allied forces.
The war between the Star-devouring Demon City and the Barbaric Beast Sect over a Spirit Stone Vein ceased only half a year ago; the lingering dissatisfaction from prolonged conflict is not easily vented.
Evidently, now they are in the phase of finding each other disagreeable.
"Skeleton frame, what hall master of Immortal Demon Hall? Boasting about yourself, haven’t you had enough of my thunderfire?"
Thunderfire Ascendant glared at the other with chilling eyes, displaying the straightforwardness of the barbarian cultivators.
Ouyang Duo’s expression was indiscernible, but his voice was cold as he spoke.
"In previous battles, neither of us won; we could find a place to start another."
As the hall master of Immortal Demon Hall in the Star-devouring Demon City, with esteemed status, he showed no weakness facing these barbarian cultivators of the Barbaric Beast Sect.
