Chapter 133: Battle Ends
In the end, it still comes down to foundation.
Even with the same cultivation system, differences in environment and resources will gradually widen the gap between cultivators who start on equal footing.
And this gap is almost irreversible.
Is this the cultivation method of Spirit Realm cultivators? They already prepare for Golden Core at the early Foundation Establishment stage.
If an ordinary Lower Realm cultivator were here, their confidence would likely waver for a time.
Wang Ping has cultivated for over twenty years, mostly sitting alone in a dark, cold stone cave, frantically consuming Bigu Pills to cultivate.
His will has been tempered to be extremely resilient; these Spirit Realm youngsters simply cannot match him in this regard.
Because in a place like the Spirit Realm, to find that kind of Lower Realm environment, I have to say, it's really quite difficult!
Thinking of this, Wang Ping suddenly smiled faintly, his state of mind no longer fluctuating, and he regained calm once more.
On the path of cultivation, one emphasizes individual fate; envying others is fine, but one must not lose oneself because of it.
Thus, in the Lower Realm, many cultivators follow the saying: "I follow my own path!"
I have a silver stone gate that can shuttle through the Spirit Realm; I can completely use it to erase this gap.
As Wang Ping's thoughts turned, he thought of many things and also let go of many.
Looking again downward at those Spirit Realm cultivators fiercely battling the demon monkeys, his eyes were filled with peace.
In that brief moment, the enlightened Wang Ping didn't realize he had silently undergone a spiritual cleansing, avoiding obsession.
"Ah! Save me!"
Suddenly, a sharp cry for help echoed throughout the field.
Whoosh!
A five-colored light flashed and appeared directly before a demon monkey's arm.
Puchi!
A stream of crimson blood spurted out!
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The demon monkey, feeling the pain, instantly leapt three zhang away!
Swish!
Wang Ping appeared before a young maiden, his back to her, calmly asking: "Shall I kill it, or will you continue?"
The Foundation Establishment female cultivator lying on the ground still had fear in her eyes; hearing Wang Ping's words, she gritted her teeth, her body again bursting with pale blue spiritual light, and an ice sword exuding astonishing cold appeared in her hand.
"I'll do it myself!"
Wang Ping, his back turned, nodded slightly, showing no expression of praise on his face.
His figure flashed, and he reappeared on the branches of an ancient tree; sitting down, he quietly watched the female cultivator re-enter the battlefield.
He then turned his gaze elsewhere, discovered several more places where people were in danger, and immediately intervened to help a few times!
Woo!
A miserable scream rang out, causing both demons and humans on the field to halt their fighting and look toward the western battlefield!
A demon monkey had its head chopped off by a Foundation Establishment cultivator whose body was suffused with red spiritual light!
The demon beast's vitality is so strong, far surpassing ordinary cultivators, that after its head was cut off, the blood spurted up to three zhang high!
This state lasted for three breaths before it finally collapsed with a boom.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
The young fire-system Foundation Establishment cultivator's spiritual power flickered wildly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead!
Seeing this, Wang Ping, who had arrived here, lightly shook his head; this obviously was a state where spiritual power was nearly exhausted!
"Song Wen! Stabilize your mind, take the pill, and hurry to restore your spiritual power!"
"Okay… okay!" Song Wen hastily nodded in agreement; a flash of light from his wrist, and a longan-sized pill was already stuffed into his mouth.
"Good stuff!"
Wang Ping secretly praised it, thinking the pill's effects must be astonishing; in the Lower Realm, he had secluded himself for three years, and in his spare time he had occasionally refined some pills; although he had not yet succeeded in refining the Yuan-Increasing Pill suitable for Foundation Establishment, his discernment had improved considerably!
Just by looking at the luster of that pill, one could see it was extraordinary; lightly inhaling the lingering medicinal fragrance in the air, the spiritual power it contained was utterly intoxicating.
With Song Wen's first slaying of a demon beast, the rest of the people's spirits were greatly lifted, each thinking: "If Song Wen can slay a demon beast, I'm not necessarily worse than him!"
Thus, the battle became even more intense thereafter!
These young Spirit Realm cultivators' spiritual power surged violently within them, and their hands' Seven-pattern Dharma Treasures unleashed barrage after barrage of blows!
Wang Ping silently nodded; although this fighting style somewhat neglects the rear while protecting the front, it is still a viable means to quickly settle the battle.
After ten breaths, the second demon monkey was slain; after eleven breaths, the third; after twelve breaths, two were slain simultaneously.
Then, in less than half a cup of tea's time, aside from that second-rank middle-stage demon beast, no other second-rank demon beasts remained.
Wang Ping scanned the field; almost everyone was either taking pills or using top-grade spirit stones to recover!
Looking around, not a single person's ginseng remains intact.
Almost everyone was wounded, but fortunately they wore Spirit Armor, so the demon monkeys' strikes could only hit the armor; a second-rank early-stage demon beast could naturally not break Spirit Armor comparable to a top-grade Dharma Treasure.
But their terrifying force could not be fully mitigated even by the Spirit Armor, so now each of them grimaced, obviously having suffered internal injuries.
Now only that final second-rank demon beast remained; Wang Ping turned his gaze toward the battlefield!
Ye Ming! Liu Haodong and several others' aptitude is clearly much better than the rest; the seven of them, through various coordination, have already dragged that second-rank demon beast to the end of its strength.
Yet among the seven, not a single person was injured!
"Ming Brother! You restrain him for a moment, then I will go ahead and kill it!"
"Okay!" Ye Ming, also a decisive person, after loudly agreeing, called the others to jointly restrain the demon monkey, creating an opportunity for Liu Haodong.
"Haha! Demon monkey! You will be the first demon beast I slay!"
Liu Haodong's face flushed red; he threw a golden blade into the air, quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and shouted loudly:
"False Dao Technique: Cold Light Split! Slash"
Clang!
A clear sword ringing sound echoed through this mountain forest, and Liu Haodong stepped forward, slashing out the golden knife in his hand!
Instantly, a snow-white blade aura about thirty-three meters long appeared on the demon monkey's chest and abdomen!
Wang Ping in the distance felt his eyebrows jump, his body leapt, and he quickly rushed toward the demon monkey!
Ao!
The demon monkey felt pain in its chest and abdomen, instantly howled toward the sky; Liu Haodong's mighty slash did not slay the beast, but the intense pain provoked its ferocity.
After a miserable cry, the demon monkey's body suddenly swelled again.
The faces of Ye Ming and the others nearby drastically changed; their arms shook with a boom, shattering all restraints, then they rushed toward Liu Haodong at extreme speed.
"Haodong, run fast!"
"Quick! Haodong!"
After Liu Haodong unleashed that vigorous strike, his spiritual power was nearly exhausted; his physical body was extremely weak, making even a single step impossible.
Seeing the demon beast charging at him, despair welled up in his heart: 'I'm going to die!'
"Wretched beast! Seeking death!"
A sound like thunder exploding rang out; Liu Haodong couldn't help but open his eyes, and then he saw his brother Lan holding a swift crystal great seal, lightly flying toward the demon monkey's head to smash it.
Just as he wondered how that seal could possibly pierce the demon monkey's hard skull!
In the blink of an eye, the crystal great seal expanded to about ten meters in size, then came crashing down onto the demon monkey!
Boom!
In the distance, the crowd could only see over ten streams of blood spraying, but Liu Haodong clearly saw that the demon monkey's body, which was tough all over and comparable to a magical treasure, was directly smashed into blood mist.
Wang Ping glanced at it indifferently, muttering to himself, 'The Heaven-Overturning Seal's power is not bad for smashing smaller demon beasts!'
It's much simpler than those demon statues.
