Chapter 1025: Central Plains War, Meeting Heaven and Earth Again
"Who are you people?"
A sharp shout asked the intruders in anger.
A Nascent Soul True Person guarding the coastal formation eye looked at the newcomers and asked instinctively.
Wang Yuan, charging at the very front, did not answer, his whole body's energy exploding as he charged straight ahead.
Seeing the situation was bad, the Nascent Soul True Person struck out with a flying sword.
Wang Yuan threw a punch with his bare hands!
Clang!
The collision of fist and sword actually produced the sound of gold and iron clashing.
The enemy's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous—resisting his True Artifact-level flying sword with bare hands?
"Senior Brother Wang Yuan, are you alright?" A concerned inquiry came from behind.
It was Yu Jiaolong.
Wang Yuan said without looking back, "Do not stop, destroy every formation eye as much as possible, prevent the Dao Sect people from repairing them, and do not let them go to Heaven and Earth Island!"
While speaking, his divine intent had already erupted, locking onto the enemy's aura.
Behind him, the cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect had already descended upon the Dongyuan Continent.
Yu Jiaolong and Haoranzi joined forces, and Lingfengzi arrived riding the wind.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A huge White Tiger puppet strode forward, running on the ground, with Cang Long, who looked like white snow, standing on top of it.
"Fellow disciples, if you encounter danger, remember to activate the fourth-tier talismans gifted by Senior Brother Luo Chen; do not be stingy!"
The Nascent Soul True Person entangled by Wang Yuan saw this scene, and his heart couldn't help but tremble; in his line of sight, it wasn't just these few people from the Luo Tian Sect.
In the distance, giant turtles were landing, black dragons were ascending to the sky, and even the bewitching Ghost Emperor was drifting forward.
In other directions, there were also powerful escape lights killing their way into the Dongyuan Continent.
After the trembling of the heart came uncontrollable anger.
"Daring to offend the Tian Yuan Dao Sect, you deserve to die!!!"
Wang Yuan’s expression was cold. "Come, let Wang see the capabilities of the disciples of the number one Sacred Land in the world!"
Without further ado, a life-and-death struggle unfolded between the two.
Powerful magic power and energy exploded in all directions; the low-level cultivators nearby couldn't participate at all.
This great battle was not just a conflict between Luo Chen and the Tian Yuan Dao Sect, but a war between the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world and the Central Plains cultivation world.
The battlefield was divided by the various sect forces of the Eastern Wasteland, like chess pieces falling on the Dongyuan Continent, constantly unfolding.
The Tian Yuan Dao Sect cultivators who came to support were constantly intercepted by experts from all sides along the way.
As the sect where Luo Chen resided, the Luo Tian Sect naturally had to take the lead.
Wang Yuan and the others completed this task very well, fearing neither life nor death, and were the first to kill their way into the Dongyuan Continent.
Naturally, the resistance they encountered was also the most intense.
Wang Yuan's side was fine, because he was not a Qi Refiner, and his realm could not be measured by Golden Core or Nascent Soul, so the first enemy he encountered was not very strong, only at the early stage of Nascent Soul.
But other places were not so "relaxed."
Especially where Yu Jiaolong was.
Three massive white lights struck one after another.
Yu Jiaolong unfolded her Nascent Soul domain, wanting to slow down such attacks, but it had little effect.
In her haste, she could only unfold defensive methods.
Boom!
Just one white light severely injured her.
Seeing the two white lights following closely, Yu Jiaolong couldn't help but show despair in her eyes.
Just then.
"Get out of the way!"
A bamboo scroll unfolded in front of her, blocking a white light, and then the aura of Haoran erupted, with a fire phoenix circling out of it, attacking the newcomer.
A figure stood in front of Yu Jiaolong; it was Haoranzi, who had been imprisoned in Cangwu Mountain with her for two hundred years.
"Junior Sister, be careful. There are too many Nascent Soul cultivators on this battlefield, and the magic power and spiritual energy are complex and chaotic. The Nascent Soul domain can no longer be used normally; everything can only rely on one's own attack and defense methods."
Haoranzi said this, looking at the newcomer with a heavy gaze.
A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
On the other side, Lingfengzi was also in a bitter battle, but fortunately, his escape speed was extremely fast, and he had mastered the "Wind Tunnel" killing move, barely supporting himself from being defeated.
Cang Long, on the other hand, broke through a formation maintained by hundreds of people in a short time.
Facing the incoming Dao Sect True Person, she was not flustered, her Canghai Zhenlong sword light waving, and the talismans gifted by Luo Chen were activated from time to time, suppressing the Dao Sect True Person firmly.
The late-stage Nascent Soul White Tiger puppet was under her feet, walking toward the next formation eye as if strolling in a courtyard.
In the sky.
Dozens of experts from the human and demon races of the Eastern Wasteland did not stop; since the Luo Tian Sect cultivators had already torn open the defense line, they only needed to drive straight in.
For so many years, the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion had only one Nascent Soul True Person, and that was Lin Qingxuan after absorbing the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.
I don't know if the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion didn't produce a second Nascent Soul True Person later because Lin Qingxuan deliberately suppressed it, but at this moment on the battlefield, he had nothing to rely on, alone with his sword.
A figure standing like an abyss and a mountain, with the demeanor of a master, stood before the formation eye.
Lin Qingxuan had sword pellets circling his side, knowing that the newcomer was not an easy person to deal with, his gaze heavy:
"Name!"
The man flipped his large sleeve, and a long sword fell into his hand: "Liu family, Liu Yuan!"
Lin Qingxuan flicked his finger, and the sword pellets emitted thousands of sword lights.
"Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion Lin Qingxuan, please enlighten me!"
Tao Wan felt somewhat uneasy; this was her first battle after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, and also a battle she had never thought of.
The scale of the battle involved by both sides was no less than the racial war between the human and demon races of the Eastern Wasteland back then, and even more dangerous because the Nascent Soul experts were too concentrated.
But she had to come to this battle.
Back then, Luo Chen had struck for her, winning the Dao Seed competition of the Green Pill Valley, ensuring she broke through to the Golden Core stage safely.
Later, being able to luckily bid for a Nascent Soul Pill at the Lingtian Auction was not unrelated to Deng Taiyue looking at her relationship with Luo Chen.
Therefore, even if not for the Enlightenment Pill for the Soul Transformation opportunity, she had to come to help Luo Chen.
However, the slaughter on the Nascent Soul battlefield was even more cruel than she had imagined!
Just one fire light rose from the sky, tearing open her defense and severely injuring her.
A figure like a flame demon slowly rose from the ground, full of anger.
"Where is Luo Chen?"
Tao Wan couldn't answer; having fallen to the ground, she had just recovered when she spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Pfft!
Her whole body's magic power seemed to have been ignited, boiling and restless, almost exploding.
She looked at the person who appeared, her expression terrified.
"Shi Ju!"
It was the Dao Sect genius who had been to the Eastern Wasteland, now the head of the Shi family, Shi Ju!
It was rumored that he had comprehended Law True Intent in advance and practiced Dao Sect divine abilities, and even when facing a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Demon Emperor, he did not fall behind.
How could she contend with such a person?
Just that palm strike earlier almost killed her instantly.
Or rather, it wasn't that the other couldn't do it, but that he deliberately left her alive to ask for Luo Chen's whereabouts.
But Tao Wan couldn't answer, and didn't want to answer.
She could only watch helplessly as Shi Ju stepped through the air, walking toward her step by step, his expression ferocious and angry.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures flew over, blocking Shi Ju on the left and right.
Tao Wan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, flying up shakily, looking at the two backs and saying with difficulty: "Chang Xi, Meng Ye, it's you."
Shi Ju continued to advance as if no one was there.
"You can't stop me; even if the three of you join forces, you are not my opponents. Tell me, where is Luo Chen? I know he has already come!"
He would absolutely not misidentify that palm print that had crossed the sea earlier and almost pierced through half the continent.
It was the unique skill of the Desert Rogue Luo Chen—the Green Yang Great Handprint!
Chang Xi’s expression was normal, holding his sword to protect Tao Wan.
"Your opponent is not us, it is Senior Brother Nine Spirits."
Shi Ju suddenly raised his head!
In the void, a dreamlike river of light was flowing slowly.
Within it, the figure of Nine Spirits Yuanjun was looming.
"You are not worthy of being Luo Chen's opponent; let this seat spar with you!"
Shi Ju smiled ferociously: "Fine, after killing all of you, Luo Chen will eventually appear."
As the words fell, he soared into the sky, his body's Sun True Fire erupting, forcibly killing his way into the Great Nine Heavens Heavenly River.
After he left, the three of Chang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Ju was a true Dao Sect genius, definitely not someone they could contend with.
Even ordinary great cultivators might not necessarily be able to suppress Shi Ju.
Perhaps only Nine Spirits Yuanjun, who was once hailed as the number one person below great cultivators, could fight him.
"Then what about us?" Tao Wan asked.
Chang Xi smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the immortal city in the distance.
There happened to be a formation eye inside.
However, this smile soon disappeared.
Because in the immortal city, figures were emerging one after another; although they were only Golden Core cultivation, relying on the geographical advantage of the immortal city and the assistance of formations, their lethality was enough to threaten Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Kill!"
At the same time, beside a large lake.
Four figures descended from the sky.
The aged Tianduzi walked in front.
By the side of the large lake, two Dao Sect True Persons blocked their way without the slightest retreat.
"Senior Brother, let us handle these two!" Tianquanzi said.
Tianduzi nodded, his steps not stopping in the slightest, heading toward the large lake.
Tianquanzi led two newly advanced Nascent Soul junior brothers, unfolded a formation, and enveloped the Dao Sect True Persons within it.
Tianduzi didn't even look at the result of this battle, just silently watching this calm large lake.
After a while, his gaze flashed, and he pointed a finger.
Sizzle!
A wisp of magic power was injected into the depths of the large lake, followed by ripples and the blooming of spiritual light.
Bang!
Like a dreamlike bubble, the large lake shattered in an instant, and the formation patterns in the depths of the lake bottom were clearly visible.
It was just that the light of these formation patterns was gradually dimming.
This formation eye was broken by him in a flip of his hand.
Tianduzi did not leave directly, but looked at those dim formation patterns seriously, only showing a thoughtful look after a long while.
"Although it is a sixth-tier formation, it is composed of individual fourth-tier formations, forming a fifth-tier grand formation on each continent, and then all added together to form the Heaven-Dome Land-Gathering Formation."
"That's right, the cultivators of this world are not at the Void Refinement stage, so how could they easily set up a sixth-tier formation."
"This is a good idea, formation after formation, doubling the power. But the shortcomings are also very obvious: one move affects the whole body; as long as the formation on one continent is mostly damaged, it cannot succeed."
"With such obvious drawbacks, how could the Tian Yuan Dao Sect be negligent? Is it disdain, or did they not think anyone would come to destroy it?"
While he was thinking, the nearby battle had already ended.
The three figures of the Tiandu Sect were revealed; one was sitting on the ground with a withered aura, one was staggering and finally leaning against a rock, panting heavily, and only Junior Brother Tianquanzi performed as before.
As for the two Dao Sect True Persons, they had now turned into a pool of blood.
Tianduzi frowned. "Three people joined forces, and even cooperated with the Three-Phase Annihilation Formation I tailored for you, why was it still so difficult?"
Tianquanzi smiled bitterly. "The two junior brothers' cultivation level is ultimately not quite there, and the Dao Sect experts were unexpectedly tenacious. Being able to kill the two without paying the price of life can already be considered lucky."
Tianduzi suddenly realized, then ordered: "I'll give you a stick of incense time to adjust your breath, and then we'll go to the southeast node. According to my guess, there is a locally important node there; once it is broken, it can paralyze seven formation eyes nearby!"
"Good!"
As time passed quickly, the battle on half of the Dongyuan Continent had already begun.
The situation on each battlefield was completely different.
There were those like the Luo Tian Sect who were charging and falling into bitter battles, and there were sects like the Nine Spirits Sect who were evenly matched, and sects with fewer Nascent Soul cultivators who mostly focused on surprise attacks after participating in the battle.
The Tiandu Sect performed with more purpose, so every strike seemed quite calm.
But to talk about being overbearing, it had to be the two strongest sects in the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world today.
The Dongyang Sect and the White Deer Cave!
One side had five True Persons, led by Great Elder Dongyang, who was a Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
One side had six Nascent Soul True Persons; apart from the newly advanced Nascent Soul Kongtongzi, the other five were all Nascent Soul cultivators of many years, with peerless strength. Like True Person Tieguan, who had fought side by side with Luo Chen on the Badao Domain battlefield back then and made a great name for himself. And Great Elder True Person Peng Xiang, whose cultivation had also reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, and when encountering tricky Dao Sect experts, he would personally strike and forcibly kill them.
The two major forces drove straight in, heading straight for the Lanke Mountain Range at the core of the Dongyuan Continent.
According to Luo Chen's intelligence, that was the most important place!
It was both the Dao Sect ancestral court and the core formation eye of the Heaven-Dome Land-Gathering Formation.
Only by breaking that place could all future troubles be solved.
To kill their way into the Dao Sect ancestral court, Luo Chen had long ago arranged for a fifth-tier ghost god to cause chaos inside.
However, although the Kui Ox ghost god was strong, the foundation of the Tian Yuan Dao Sect could not be underestimated; it was hard to guarantee that the other wouldn't activate some Soul Transformation-level means to quickly suppress it.
Therefore, subsequent support was extremely important.
At this moment on the Dongyuan Continent, three forces, like three arrows, were rushing straight toward the Lanke Mountain Range.
The reason why they were called three arrows was that apart from the Dongyang Sect and the White Deer Cave, there was also the demon race expert side.
As demon race experts forcibly summoned by Luo Chen in the name of the Crossing Truth Hall Master, they were already full of resentment.
This resentment could not be vented on Luo Chen, and they could not defy the orders of Cangwu Mountain, so they could only suppress it and suppress it again, until they stepped onto the Dongyuan Continent!
The soaring resentment erupted!
After more than twenty Demon Emperors stepped onto this continent, it was a scene of blood and rain.
Led by the Thunder Prison Divine Peng, assisted by the three great Demon Emperors Bi Zheng, Niu Gui, and Juan Kuang, leading a group of Demon Emperors, they could be called killing anyone who blocked them, and killing gods who blocked them.
Nascent Soul cultivators who dared to resist were all torn to pieces and blasted into powder.
The immortal city strongholds blocking the way were all smashed into ruins.
They had only one goal: to strike at the heart and kill their way into the Dao Sect ancestral court!
Along the way, the three major forces advanced extremely fast, almost encountering no decent resistance; occasionally a Dao Sect True Person appeared, but only in twos or threes.
This number made people somewhat suspicious.
Too few!
Although the Tian Yuan Dao Sect had suffered an unprecedented tribulation, according to calculations by interested people, there were at least a hundred remaining Nascent Soul experts.
Over the past hundred years, with vigorous cultivation, there must have been quite a few more.
Even if dispersed to the three continents, as the Dao Sect ancestral court, the Dongyuan Continent should have at least fifty or sixty.
However, the resistance encountered on the battlefield was not that great.
Forces like the Fenghua Palace, the White Crane Sect, the Hundred Beasts Sect, and even the Dieyun Sect and the Qidong Mountain carried out the task of destroying formation eyes very smoothly.
Even, before the demon cultivators of the Crossing Truth Hall and the two top human Nascent Soul Upper Sects killed their way into the Lanke Mountain Range, the formation nodes on the Dongyuan Continent had been destroyed by more than half within a day.
Such serious damage was enough to affect the operation of the overall formation.
Accompanied by a heaven-shaking loud noise, the Dongyuan Continent, which was moving toward Heaven and Earth Island, stopped abruptly.
The earth shook, the ocean overturned, and boundless giant waves rose to the sky.
Outside Heaven and Earth Island.
Luo Chen stood with his back to the giant waves, looking at the empty place in front of him.
In the void, ripples fluctuated, and a figure slowly emerged.
It was Li Canghai!
"The senior really didn't break his promise."
Li Canghai smiled slightly and looked back. "This old man didn't expect you to make such a big move, with so many Nascent Soul experts invited by you. Tsk tsk, is this the appeal of a Dan Dao Grandmaster?"
Luo Chen smiled without saying a word.
This was not just the appeal of a Dan Dao Grandmaster; it also had to do with the good reputation he had maintained for many years.
Like Li Canghai, as a formation great power, did he not have appeal?
But his reputation, apart from his legendary cultivation experience, was not necessarily very good.
At least, he hadn't offered much help to his former peers.
After advancing to Soul Transformation, he didn't seem to promote younger generations much either.
The so-called Canghai Righteous Alliance was just a tool in his hands.
When the demon army was freed from the Night Demon Heaven, he ignored righteousness and took the opportunity to seize the Spirit Mountain to refine treasures. When the Tian Yuan Dao Sect entered the North Sea, Li Canghai could abandon the Righteous Alliance. After the Dao Sect retreated and the demon race became powerful, he could turn around and cooperate with demon race great powers.
Being so fickle, even if he possessed heaven-shaking skills, not many people would be willing to work for him.
Sometimes, when a person possesses powerful strength and provides sufficient benefits to others, reputation is also one of the keys to cooperation between the two sides.
Seeing this, Li Canghai didn't ask what Luo Chen had done to call so many friends and helpers; he also shifted his gaze to the island that looked like a small continent in front of him.
"Heaven and Earth Island!"
"The true center of the formation, and the Dao Sect ancestor Liancheng is also inside."
"Little friend, dare you enter with me to meet him?"
Luo Chen’s smile faded, and his body was filled with killing intent.
"Why wouldn't I dare!"
As the words fell, he took a step, already crossing ten miles, and landed on the hard ground of Heaven and Earth Island.
Li Canghai raised his eyebrows, seemingly admiring Luo Chen's courage, and then followed him into Heaven and Earth Island.
The first thing they did upon entering the island was to release their divine sense in unison, casting it toward that first peak that had once dominated the world.
The broken Heaven Peak was surrounded by white clouds and mist.
A young man, sitting on the flat peak, slowly opened his eyes.
