Chapter 321: Demon Race Retreat

Meng Yifan was a Fifth-grade Cultivator who advanced on Earth, where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was exhausted, so the True Qi within his dantian had never been fully replenished.

At this moment, having returned to the world of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty, where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was everywhere, every cell in Meng Yifan's body was rejoicing, letting go to devour the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The absorption capacity of a Fifth-grade Cultivator is terrifying; Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is originally formless and invisible, but under Meng Yifan's absorption, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within three kilometers converged toward him.

As the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi grew higher and higher, it transformed from formless to tangible, becoming a massive funnel visible even to ordinary people.

"A Fifth-grade Cultivator? This, how is this possible?" Lang Jiao was dumbfounded. In her perception, Meng Yifan had just gone into the secret room to cultivate for a short while; he hadn't undergone a Thunder Tribulation, yet he had inexplicably advanced to a Fifth-grade Cultivator.

Meng Dayong also looked toward Meng Yifan's direction with some surprise. He also couldn't figure out why Meng Yifan's strength had suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, but the stronger Meng Yifan was, the happier he felt.

Originally, there were over a hundred thousand Demon Race troops besieging the city outside Luolong County, and hearing that a Level 5 Demon Beast would also come to attack the city tomorrow morning, Meng Dayong was worried sick, even if he didn't say it out loud.

Now that Meng Yifan had suddenly advanced to a Fifth-grade Cultivator, he could rival a Level 5 Demon Beast, and coupled with the advanced firearms in the hands of the Luolong County soldiers, this battle could be fought.

The commotion from Meng Yifan devouring Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was immense. The soldiers of Luolong County were initially at a loss, but later, after being told by the experts beside them that Meng Yifan had advanced to the Fifth-grade realm, everyone was incredibly excited, their morale soared, and they shouted loudly:

"Lord Meng has advanced! That's great, it's truly great!"

"Lord Meng will surely win! We will surely win!"

"Sure victory! Sure victory!"

The soldiers' shouts shook the heavens and spread far away, and even the Demon Race camp outside the city could hear them clearly.

"How is this possible? How can this be?" Hu Dameng also saw the celestial phenomenon and understood that this meant Meng Yifan had advanced to a Fifth-grade Cultivator, which left Hu Dameng in disbelief.

One must know that whether it is a human Immortal Cultivator or a member of the Demon Race, one must undergo a Thunder Tribulation to advance to a realm above the Fifth Grade.

Yet, Hu Dameng hadn't sensed any thunderclouds gathering in the vicinity at all. How could Meng Yifan have advanced to a Fifth-grade Cultivator? This defied common sense.

"Hiss... This is bad. Brother Hu, quickly retreat. Meng Yifan has advanced to a Fifth-grade Cultivator. If he leads an elite squad to carry out a decapitation strike again, none of the three of us can stop him," She Qingqing said anxiously.

"That's right, Brother Hu, let's retreat quickly. While Meng Yifan is still cultivating, let's retreat in the direction of Lord Lang Batian."

Zhu Meimei was also terrified. When Meng Yifan was still a Fourth-grade Immortal Cultivator, he dared to raid the Demon Race camp and finish off the Fourth Grade Beast Zhu Ganglie. Now that he was already a Fifth-grade Cultivator, his strength had doubled; no one in the Demon Race army could stop him, so they had better run quickly.

Hu Dameng also realized that things were looking bad. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Retreat!"

Thus, the hundred-thousand-plus Demon Race army retreated overnight, fleeing in a sorry state, all because Meng Yifan had advanced to the Fifth-grade Cultivator realm. This was the deterrent power of an expert.

A Fourth-Grade Powerhouse can guard a prefecture, let alone a Fifth-grade powerhouse.

Under normal circumstances, Meng Yifan alone could deter the entire Dongchuan Prefecture.

"The Demon Race has fled! Lord Meng is mighty!"

"Lord Meng is domineering!"

"Sure victory! Sure victory!"

The Demon Race fled overnight, and the news was soon known to the Salvation Army soldiers waiting in full battle array on the city walls. Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, their excitement overflowing.

Soon, everyone in Luolong County knew this exciting good news, and they took to the streets one after another, singing and dancing to celebrate the victory.

The siege by over a hundred thousand Demon Race troops had made many commoners fearful and anxious, especially those refugees who had fled from other cities; they were even more terrified. Having fled all the way, they had seen many cities broken by the Demon Race, after which everyone in the city became food for the Demon Race. That scene was truly a living hell, too horrible to look at.

These former refugees had originally thought that Luolong County would also be unable to escape the fate of being broken, but they never expected that Meng Yifan would lead the entire army to fight continuously, actually beating the Demon Race into retreat step by step, forcing them to withdraw several times, and now even scaring the hundred-thousand-plus Demon Race army into fleeing overnight.

Lord Meng was so mighty; he was everyone's guardian deity. With him here, these refugees who had once been displaced could finally live and work in peace.

Meng Yifan was sitting in the secret room; he did not yet know that merely devouring Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had caused such a great influence.

Half an hour later, the Spirit Power within Meng Yifan's body was replenished. Feeling the surging Spirit Power within him, he felt very comfortable.

Taking advantage of the remaining time, Meng Yifan began to study the three Immortal Cultivation Techniques: Wind Calling Technique, Rain Summoning Technique, and Lightning and Thunder.

Meng Yifan first studied Lightning and Thunder because when he underwent the Thunder Tribulation on Earth, he had used the Yin and Yang Spirit Power to envelop the power of the Thunder Tribulation and devoured some Lightning Spirit Qi. His body already possessed some of his own Lightning Spirit Power, but he did not know how to utilize it.

Meng Yifan was already a Fifth-grade Cultivator; coming back to learn another Immortal Cultivation Technique from scratch was like a college student learning first-grade elementary school arithmetic—it was very easy to get started.

The reason why many Immortal Cultivators with multiple Spirit Roots only focus on one system and dare not cultivate multiple systems simultaneously is mainly because everyone's energy is limited; cultivating one system's technique already exhausts their energy.

If one cultivates several systems of techniques simultaneously, it is destined that when their lifespan is exhausted, they will still find it difficult to break through to a higher level and achieve life transcendence, eventually returning to dust and earth, their bodies dying and their Dao dissipating, becoming a handful of yellow soil.

In particular, cultivation requires a large amount of cultivation resources. Many Immortal Cultivators cannot even gather enough resources to cultivate one system, let alone prepare resources for other systems.

Therefore, the recognized truth in the cultivation world is that cultivating multiple systems is not as good as specializing in one.

But Meng Yifan was different; he had a Game Panel. He could gain Experience Value by killing monsters and then level up. He could completely practice Nine-System Cultivation.

The nine systems of Yin, Yang, Five Elements, Wind, and Thunder also had relationships of mutual generation and restriction. If Meng Yifan mastered all nine systems of techniques, he could deploy the corresponding technique against different enemies, which would greatly enhance Meng Yifan's combat power.

As Meng Yifan studied the method of Lightning and Thunder, a layer of purple electric light soon appeared on the massive funnel that connected heaven and earth.

"Crackle!" The electric light flickered, illuminating the night sky, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Lang Jiao was a Level 5 Demon Beast. Sensing the three systems of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathering in the sky, she muttered, "Yin, Yang, and Thunder Element Demon Power—is Master going to cultivate three systems of techniques simultaneously?"
