Chapter 194: The Great War of the West Sea

A few hours later, Long Xuan looked at the several tables of paper on the table and fell into deep thought.

The Medicine Gu's ability to mass-produce ten-thousand-year spirit medicine was truly too heaven-defying. It was already so heaven-defying, yet you still wanted to refine it into a Gu worm; the difficulty of that could be imagined.

Such a heaven-defying ability must be limited by materials.

Through many days of research, Long Xuan discovered that the upper limit of the Medicine Gu was simply terrifyingly high.

The upper limit of the Medicine Gu was probably over ten million materials. Even if most materials overlapped, wanting to research such a long Gu formula would require consuming a massive amount of time.

Moreover, a considerable portion of the materials must have already gone extinct; there was no need to even think about this, so the matter of researching the Medicine Gu formula could basically be declared bankrupt.

However, Long Xuan did not give up. One had to know that the same material could be applicable to different Gu formulas. Why did he have to research the longest Gu formula? He could completely pick the shortest Gu formula.

Although the Medicine Gu refined by settling for the second best wasn't perfect, at worst, he could wash it after reaching the Spirit Realm later. It could completely be used for transition in the early stages.

So after Long Xuan wrote the Medicine Gu on paper, he began to constantly experiment with the second set of materials.

One had to know that in the situation where materials were applicable to multiple Gu formulas, the cheat would display the longest Gu formula, but he could completely refine the Gu formula by increasing materials, slowly finding the Gu formula with the fewest materials.

Thus, as he tested the second set of materials one by one, the progress on the paper began to undergo different changes.

Sometimes the progress disappeared, sometimes the progress rose a little, sometimes the progress suddenly became a four-digit number, and sometimes the progress suddenly became a five-digit number.

Long Xuan didn't dare to be greedy; that was absolutely not something he could eat right now.

Finally, he chose a Gu formula with a ten-thousand-material quantity.

Actually, the material quantity could be further reduced; a Gu formula with a ten-thousand-material quantity still had the possibility of appearing extinct materials.

But Long Xuan despised Medicine Gu with a small material quantity for being too weak; he really had no motivation to research it.

So he chose to raise the bar. Occasionally taking a risk was fine. If he failed, he would just change to a Gu formula with a smaller material quantity then. At worst, he would waste some time cost; he could afford the loss.

Just like this, Long Xuan threw away the remaining Gu formulas, chose a Gu formula with a material quantity of about ten thousand, and then began to go into seclusion, starting the work of self-creating the Medicine Gu formula.

At the same time, West Sea Dragon Island.

The Long Clan's great war against the Zhu and Song clans ushered in the moment of the decisive battle.

The Gu Cultivators of both sides stood in rows, confronting each other on flat terrain.

It was just that this time the West Sea Long Clan had the Extreme West Long Clan assisting, so their numbers did not appear at a disadvantage. The number of Gu Cultivators on both sides was on the scale of ten thousand.

Finally, with the sound of a dragon-like horn, the Long Clan's morale was greatly boosted, and they launched the attack first.

One could see the Extreme West Long Clan's Gu Cultivators each take out a giant Earth Mover Beetle from their insect-breeding bags and then ride on their backs.

Just when the Gu Cultivators of the Zhu and Song side thought they would ride these big guys to launch a charge, the Long Clan's actions exceeded their expectations, and they were soon confused.

One could see each Earth Mover Beetle spit out a giant earth ball that did not match its own volume from its mouth, and then throw it hard, throwing the earth ball high into the sky.

Under normal circumstances, everyone would scoff at this attack method, because the landing speed of throwing-type attacks was truly too slow; anyone could easily dodge it.

But look at the scene of five thousand Earth Mover Beetles throwing earth balls together?

The earth balls were so big, and five thousand earth balls were fired simultaneously, enough to cover the entire sky. Smashing onto the ground, it could almost achieve seamless attacks.

It just so happened that in large-scale combat, the formations they stood in were so dense. How could they dodge the earth balls smashing down from the sky? All the Gu Cultivators on the Zhu and Song side changed their expressions at this moment.

Seeing the sky suddenly darken, one giant earth ball after another smashed down like meteorites. The Gu Cultivators of the Zhu and Song clans turned pale and fled madly. How could they still care about the formation?

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The meteorites smashed down like raindrops. Every time a meteorite fell, it would smash a giant circular pit into the earth.

The earth was smashed until it shook, shaking violently like an earthquake, emitting deafening sounds.

From time to time, Gu Cultivators who couldn't dodge in time were hit by earth balls and smashed into meat paste.

The scene was in chaos, with screams everywhere. The surviving Gu Cultivators all turned pale, fleeing with their heads in their hands, their eyes revealing looks of terror.

Some lucky Gu Cultivators found gaps to dodge, avoiding all the earth ball attacks, and even more hard-resisters, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, barely survived this round of attacks.

However, who said Earth Mover Beetles could only throw one earth ball? After each Earth Mover Beetle threw an earth ball, before the earth balls in the sky had completely fallen, it spat out another earth ball, launching a second round of shelling, followed by a third round...

Not long after, the earth balls in the sky were already dense, so many that they couldn't be counted. The sky was like the end of the world.

The land under the earth balls darkened completely, and not a single ray of sunlight fell anymore.

Countless meteorites fell continuously, and some meteorites were even burning with raging flames. Smashing onto the ground, they could explode a large sea of fire, further compressing the space for dodging below.

Under such crazy bombardment, the earth trembled continuously, as if it were about to be smashed through. The deafening sound had completely covered up the screams of the Gu Cultivators.

The Gu Cultivators of the Zhu and Song clans ushered in the end of the world on this day. Under such apocalyptic scenes, they called to heaven but heaven didn't answer, called to earth but earth didn't respond. People were dying in droves.

The high-level officials of the Zhu and Song clans were all pale-faced at this moment, completely smashed into confusion.

They stood too densely. Under the continuous bombardment of the Extreme West Long Clan's five artillery regiments, the number of people who could survive was far less than half.

When the sky finally had a ray of sunlight fall, and there were no longer giant meteorites blocking the sunlight in the air, the ground actually shook violently again, emitting roars.

The Long Clan's Earth Mover Beetle cavalry regiment launched a charge at the survivors who were still in a daze.

The surface of each Earth Mover Beetle was covered with a layer of insect armor made of cement, and the huge surface area was enough to carve many arrays.

Each Earth Mover Beetle was equivalent to a mobile array base. Every one thousand Earth Mover Beetles could be spliced into a Mountain-Protecting Great Formation, and it was also a mobile Mountain-Protecting Great Formation.

Just like this, the surviving Gu Cultivators of the Zhu and Song clans clearly hadn't moved, but inexplicably triggered the killing array of the Mountain-Protecting Great Formation.

Soon, various lightning and fireballs fell from the sky. The killing array of the Mountain-Protecting Great Formation carried out ruthless slaughter on the Gu Cultivators who broke into the array.

How many Gu Cultivators could resist the attack of the Mountain-Protecting Great Formation?

The Gu Cultivators of the Zhu and Song clans died in droves again. Soon, corpses were left all over the ground, killed until blood flowed like a river.

Even Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators were killed by the Mountain-Protecting Great Formation until they were scattered, and the number of high-grade Gu Cultivators suffered heavy losses in just one encounter.

The high-level officials of the Zhu and Song clans turned red-eyed, their eyes splitting.

Bringing a Mountain-Protecting Great Formation to fight a field battle—was there such a way to play? This was the first time they had seen such a shameless fighting style.

It was truly too shameless. How could they fight this?

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The Family Heads of the Zhu and Song clans shouted at the top of their lungs. However, before they opened their mouths, the Gu Cultivators of both sides had already been defeated like a mountain collapse. The surviving Gu Cultivators were all fleeing for their lives; there was no need to wait for them to speak.

At this time, the allied forces of the two clans had completely lost their combat effectiveness and also completely lost their will to fight, defeated at the first touch by the Long Clan Gu Cultivators.

The Long Clan had won this war without shedding blood. After a great battle, not a single person was lost. This was simply a miracle.

The Gu Cultivators of the West Sea Long Clan side were all stunned, all opening their eyes wide, foolishly watching this scene, their mouths able to stuff an egg.

Defeating the Zhu-Song allied forces so easily—they simply couldn't believe it.

"Looks like there's nothing for us to do anymore, right?"

The West Sea Long Clan Head looked at the front in a daze and smiled bitterly.

"We were indeed redundant. Having their clan is enough. What kind of Gu worm is that? A lower-grade Gu worm? You call this a lower-grade Gu worm in your family?"

The West Sea Long Clan Great Elder looked foolishly at those guys with huge volumes, muttering in a daze.

"What a perverted Gu worm. What kind of lower-grade Gu worm is this? Is the Heavenly Dao blind? Actually defining such an outrageous Gu worm as a lower-grade Gu worm!"

The West Sea Long Clan Third Elder shouted loudly in a loss of composure. He was completely shocked by this scene.

This battle subverted their cognition. The Earth Mover Beetle's tactics were simply incredible, able to bring meteorites from the sky and carry the Mountain-Protecting Great Formation to attack. This was the first time he had seen such a way of war. Who could withstand this set of combo punches?

It would be strange if the Zhu and Song clans weren't defeated. Even if it were them, they wouldn't be able to withstand it either, and might even be defeated more miserably.

All the high-level officials of the West Sea Long Clan revealed expressions solemn to the extreme, and their gazes at the Extreme West Long Clan Gu Cultivators were different.

In this battle, the Earth Mover Beetles killed in all directions. The results achieved by the Earth Mover Beetle cavalry regiment in its first battle made the Extreme West Long Clan Gu Cultivators feel shocked, not to mention the onlookers. All forces paying attention to this war were alarmed.

This great battle was considered the Earth Mover Beetle's fame-making battle. The Earth Mover Beetle also became famous in this battle, becoming a terrifying existence that made all forces tremble with fear.

This newly born powerful Gu species, the Earth Mover Beetle, began to be widely known by the world, and its creator was constantly dug deeper by people.

But it was many years later when everyone knew that this famous Gu came from the hands of a genius youth who was only in the Spirit Gathering stage at the time. These were all later stories.

And at this time, Long Xuan didn't know that the Earth Mover Beetle would burn the entire world like a fire through this battle. He, the culprit who almost caused the Zhu and Song clans to be exterminated, was still quietly livering the Gu formula in the small pavilion.

This time, livering the Gu formula was unexpectedly smooth, because the caterpillar was truly too weak. Just releasing any lower-grade spirit insect could eat it.

How could a Gu formula allow the main insect to be eaten? So all insect species stronger than the caterpillar could basically be excluded.

It just so happened that the caterpillar stood at the bottom of the insect world; every insect was stronger than it. After such exclusion, there weren't many types left that could be put into the Gu formula.

So after Long Xuan used the elimination method to exclude, the insect species he could choose were not many, which naturally saved a lot of time for exhaustive search.

And don't look at the Medicine Gu formula needing ten thousand materials; there were too many repeated materials. The types that could be used were probably only a thousand or so.

Thus, Long Xuan only spent half a year livering out the heaven-defying Medicine Gu formula.

He dusted off the non-existent dust on the Gu formula and revealed a smile that was proud to the extreme.

"Hehe, because the number of the Ten Great Heaven-Defying Spirit Gu is unique in heaven and earth, from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to research a Gu formula regarding the Ten Great Heaven-Defying Spirit Gu."

"Only I! Only I, Long Xuan! Broke what predecessors couldn't, and researched the Gu formula with the Ten Great Heaven-Defying Spirit Gu as the main material! Just ask, who else is there?"

Long Xuan was in high spirits, emitting wild laughter that was extremely proud.
