Chapter 463 - 456: Nascent Soul Fifth Layer, Fall of Chu Country (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In one breath, he killed a Nascent Soul Great Demon; in another breath, he killed a dozen Golden Core Demon Beasts. Lu Xuanji activated a secret technique and vanished.
Just three breaths later, the void flickered, and a Nascent Soul Demon Beast appeared.
Then, another Nascent Soul Demon Beast appeared.
In less than five breaths, ten Nascent Soul Demon Beasts had appeared.
Some Nascent Soul Demon Beasts had not descended here yet, but their Divine Thoughts were locked onto this place, confirming the coordinates, ready to arrive at any moment.
However, upon scanning the future with Divine Thought, there was no trace at all, as if completely vanished.
Fortunately, Lu Xuanji was fast.
If he had been a moment slower, he would have been blocked by the Demon Race’s experts, with a dozen Nascent Soul experts besieging him; even as strong as he was, he would have been shattered into pieces.
...
Swish, swish!
In a flicker, Lu Xuanji disappeared.
Just a few leaps, and he was tens of thousands of miles away.
Opening the Baidu Map, he looked at the map and frowned slightly.
At that moment, more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators appeared, almost blocking him and putting him in a siege.
If he fell into siege, he might also fall.
"Trouble is brewing; each Nascent Soul Great Demon seems isolated, scattered around, but in fact, they are connected. If one is in danger, others come to rescue. Fortunately, after killing the enemy in two breaths, I chose to retreat. If delayed by five breaths, I would have been surrounded!"
"Those Great Demons are also a bunch of cunning old foxes!"
Lu Xuanji frowned slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, he disappeared again in a flicker.
The hunt continues.
The more Demon Race Nascent Souls are hunted here, the better the situation for Chu Country.
Don’t be fooled now; Nascent Soul cultivators seem to be everywhere, giving people the impression that Nascent Soul cultivators are worthless.
Actually, that’s not the case.
Nascent Soul cultivators are also giants, big bosses, and rulers in the Demon Race.
Each dead Nascent Soul is a huge loss for the Demon Race.
...
So Lu Xuanji began to act, hunting Nascent Soul Demon Beasts.
Relying on Baidu Map for precise location of Nascent Soul Great Demons, he swiftly acted, slaying Nascent Soul cultivators.
Like a leopard, he quickly hunted down enemies with speed and then vanished.
Fast-paced, ruthless strikes.
In just ten years, he hunted thirty Nascent Soul Demon Beasts.
As large numbers of Nascent Soul Demon Beasts were hunted, the demon race’s vigilance heightened; Nascent Soul Great Demons no longer acted alone but gathered together in groups of three to five, keeping close distance.
The difficulty of the hunt increased.
...
Boom boom boom!
A great battle erupted in the void.
Eight strands of demonic energy flickered; under their joint efforts, they attacked together, five-colored rays of light flashed, continuously countering and attacking.
Both sides clashed, constantly colliding.
The tides of destruction surged wave after wave, at this moment a figure flickered, escaping swiftly.
Golden light flickered beneath his feet, accompanied by changes in the golden light, the speed reached its peak.
Swish, swish!
In just a few leaps, he disappeared thousands of miles away.
"Stop!"
"Chase!"
"Kill!"
The eight Nascent Soul Great Demons shouted, urging secret techniques to pursue.
But quickly, as they chased, they couldn’t catch up.
The golden light was too fast; they could only eat dust while chasing.
"Notify ahead, capture True Monarch Xuanji!"
One Nascent Soul Great Demon gritted his teeth and said.
...
Swish!
At that moment, the golden light receded, revealing Lu Xuanji’s figure.
Cough cough cough!
Lu Xuanji coughed, blood spilling from his mouth, his aura weakening.
His entire aura declined continuously, he took out an elixir and consumed it, followed by operating Creation Technique, Pure Yang Scripture, Yin Yang Transformation, etc., continually healing his injuries.
Just recently, when he attacked a Nascent Soul Great Demon, he fell into the demon race’s trap, surrounded by eight Nascent Soul Great Demons, sustaining a serious injury after resisting for a moment.
If he hadn’t activated [Vertical Earth Golden Light], transforming into golden light to escape, those demon race pursuers would have caught up, and he would have already been killed by the group.
Feeling the wounds on his body, at this moment his body felt like shattered pottery, forcibly pieced together with a strong force. Eight strands of demonic energy were corroding his body, exacerbating his corporal injuries, which was utterly painful; even his Nascent Soul bore gray spots.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his wounds, operated cultivation techniques, and magical power surged like a tide.
Wave after wave, the tides surged continuously.
Three days later, Lu Xuanji opened his eyes, the injuries were healed.
His eyes glowed with sparks of destruction.
At this moment, he was already at Nascent Soul Fifth Layer.
In the past, he needed to continuously grind magical power, purify Nascent Soul, requiring one hundred and fifty years to reach Nascent Soul Fifth Layer.
But now, by continually hunting Nascent Soul Great Demons in war, refining them into Nascent Soul Pills, his cultivation soared, increasing by one small realm in just ten years.
Only during wartime, as both sides engaged in a bloody battle, he could hunt Nascent Soul Great Demons recklessly and progress so quickly.
Correspondingly, the consumption of Nascent Soul Pills also increased.
"Next, it will be almost impossible to hunt Nascent Soul Great Demons!"
Lu Xuanji opened Baidu Map, frowning slightly.
This time, he miscalculated.
Previously, he thought relying on Baidu Map, he could accurately locate the enemy, know both themselves and their opponents, and thus win every battle.
But this time, the seven Demons utilized some secret technique to hide their traces, even [Baidu Map] couldn’t detect them.
Thus, he fell into the siege of eight Great Demons, almost perishing.
This loss made him aware of a problem: the phone isn’t omnipotent, and Baidu Map isn’t omnipotent either.
It might be because the phone’s grade is too low, or his cultivation is limited, there are some means to obscure [Baidu Map]’s detection.
"Baidu Map still can’t detect the position of Divinity Transformation... Where is Blood Bat Demon Venerable?"
Lu Xuanji frowned slightly.
He couldn’t help but think of Jin Xi, at that time she restrained Blood Bat Demon Venerable.
Involved in a pursuit by Divinity Transformation, the current situation was unknown.
"Which path to take in the future..."
At this moment, Lu Xuanji enlarged Baidu Map, red and blue dots appeared on the territory of Chu Country.
The battle situation of both sides was clearly visible on Baidu Map.
Before the war, the Human Race had two trillion people, but now it’s less than one hundred billion.
These remaining Humans were trapped in some cities, holding their ground.
Like rocks in the sea, seemingly ready to be overwhelmed by the ocean.
At this moment, the Demon Race mobilized fully, about three hundred Nascent Soul cultivators appeared in various places, plus over five thousand Golden Core cultivators, countless Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators, Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators, and others, began besieging Human Race’s remaining cities, about to sweep the last strongholds.
As for those cities, there were fewer than fifty Human Race Nascent Soul cultivators defending.
In times of crisis, most Human Race Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core cultivators chose to abandon Chu Country, fleeing, as they say, if you leave the green hills, you won’t fear having no firewood.
Much like when war breaks out, those wealthy capitalists have various means to flee abroad and remain elites. But the middle and lower-class populace can’t escape and have to survive with their country.
Similarly, during Chu Country’s fall, most Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Core cultivators, etc., left through various channels; but those at the lower levels, common cultivators, couldn’t escape, and had to live and die with Chu Country.
After the outbreak, seventy percent of Nascent Soul cultivators chose to flee, fifty percent of Golden Core cultivators fled, fewer than twenty percent of Purple Mansion cultivators fled, as for Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, most couldn’t escape, remaining in Chu Country.
Those high-level cultivators choosing to fight to the death in Chu Country were far too few.
