Chapter 780: Body Refining Cultivator

"Master Qi, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array is about to be unable to hold on."

The Demon Race main army outside had been attacking Huofeng Dao for a full half a year.

After half a year of constant attacks, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Great Array guarding Huofeng Dao was naturally crumbling, already unable to hold on.

Many of the array bases of the great array were damaged, and the spirit pool was almost dry.

If it weren't for the fact that in the last month, the spiritual energy of the spirit pool had been replaced by the magic power of a million cultivators, the array would have been broken long ago.

Although they held on, thirty thousand cultivators had died.

"Fellow Daoist Si Kong, even if you can't hold on, you must hold on. I have also sent a message to Zhuque Dao. It shouldn't be long before someone comes to support."

"Alas!"

"I didn't expect the Demon Race to be so cunning this time, not going to attack Zhuque Dao, but instead coming to attack our Huofeng Dao."

Huofeng Dao was only ranked in the lower class among the nine major islands of the Vermilion Bird position. Not to mention ranking last, it could only be ranked seventh or eighth.

Its strength was not very strong.

Being able to block this Demon Race main army was all because everyone had risked their lives, especially the outside first-class sect, which had not been negligent at all.

Of course, that first-class sect joint force also understood that if they didn't risk their lives, they could only wait for death. As for fleeing, just their sect alone, with three Tier 5 treasure ships and ten Nascent Soul stages, facing the twenty-plus Tier 5 warships outside, as well as hundreds of Demon Race warships, fleeing was just seeking death.

It was better to stay on Huofeng Dao, fully defend, and wait for support.

"I didn't expect to encounter the Trident Demon Whale race this time. This Demon Whale race has a huge body and unparalleled defense. One-on-one, we are hard to be their opponent."

Qiyu's face was a bit ugly.

This Trident Demon Whale race was also considered a superior race among the Demon Race, just like those demon beasts with superior bloodlines in the Demon Race.

Each and every one of them was extremely powerful.

With the same cultivation, one-on-one, human cultivators were indeed not the opponent of this Trident Demon Whale race.

Right now, outside, this Demon Race main army had a full six million, among which there were forty-eight Nascent Soul stage experts, and it was unknown if there were any hidden ones.

And there were a full eight late-stage Nascent Soul ones.

And on their side, there were only forty Nascent Soul stages, and only six late-stage Nascent Soul ones, falling behind the other side in all aspects.

Relying on the great array, they could still circle with them. Once the great battle was broken and both sides engaged in close-quarters combat, then whether they could survive would depend on their own means.

By then, even he himself dared not guarantee.

And who dared to guarantee that this Demon Race army did not have hidden strength? The Demon Race people were quite cunning.

"Sect Master Qi, there is no other way."

Qiyu had the highest cultivation, ninth-layer Nascent Soul, so he was naturally the person in charge of Huofeng Dao. And the Void View he belonged to was also the strongest, with a full thirteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Among the four major joint forces, they were the first.

In reality, there was one power on Huofeng Dao that could no longer be considered first-class. Its strength had declined significantly over these years, leaving only six Nascent Soul stages. However, because there were two seventh-layer Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in command, it barely maintained the face of a first-class power in the East Sea.

The Void View was a truly first-class power. As the strongest native power on Huofeng Dao, it had two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators: one was Qiyu, ninth-layer Nascent Soul, and one was Huang Yu, eighth-layer Nascent Soul.

The four major powers joined forces, with the Void View as the leader, and the Void View's Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Great Array indeed played a great role for them.

It had blocked the Demon Race main army's simple attacks for a full half a year.

"No help for it. Once the array is broken, we can only engage in close-quarters combat with the other side."

Qiyu shook his head, his expression solemn, and others also finally gave up the slight expectation in their hearts.

"Since that's the case, then fight! The Demon Race is just like that. Even if it's a Trident Demon Whale, so what? This old man also wants to see if his physical body is strong, or if our Armor-Clad Sect's physical body is powerful."

The person speaking was a big man with a face full of flesh.

Generally, the higher the cultivation of cultivators in the cultivation world, the better their appearance and posture would be. For example, fat or thin, unless it was because of the cultivation method, most of them were of graceful posture, immortal style, and Daoist bones.

But this big man before him, looking at those muscles all over his body like coiling dragons, gnashing his teeth, the veins on his neck were even bursting like dragons rolling.

This person was a rare body-refining sect in the cultivation world. The Armor-Clad Sect also had a sect passed down from ancient times. After all, in ancient times, body-refining techniques were also quite popular, and in the cultivation world, even half were popular body-refining techniques.

After all, at that time, the human race had not yet become the hegemon of the Yuanyang World, and cultivators were not the mainstream.

Body refining did not pay attention to aptitude. As long as there were enough resources, one could cultivate, and the combat power was also extremely terrifying.

The human race at that time needed power, so this body-refining technique was popular.

Later, the Human Emperor was born, unifying the human race, establishing the human race's hegemony, making the human race the most powerful race in the Yuanyang World.

This body-refining technique gradually declined.

First, the body-refining technique was extremely arduous, suffering all kinds of tempering. Although entry was simple, subsequent cultivation far exceeded that of immortal cultivators.

Secondly, it was the resources consumed, which were even more than the cultivation world.

As a result, following the laws of nature, gradually, most body-refining sects began to change their paths.

This also led to not many sects truly remaining.

The Armor-Clad Sect did not count for much in ancient times, but now it had been passed down for billions of years, barely able to be considered a first-class bottom-tier in the Central Region.

And this Armor-Clad Sect was not a purely body-refining sect; there were both body-refining and Qi-refining paths in the sect.

The big man was called Niu Po Tian. The name was very vulgar, but in terms of strength, no one on Huofeng Dao dared to underestimate him.

Because of the body-refining technique, his cultivation was only at the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, but his combat power was enough to compare to the eighth layer of the Nascent Soul stage.

And the Armor-Clad Sect's dispatch this time was a group of fanatics who refined their bodies.

But thinking about it, body-refining practitioners, they had to experience all kinds of tempering, and fighting with the Demon Race was also a kind of life-and-death tempering, which could accelerate their cultivation.

Therefore, compared to other sects, the Armor-Clad Sect paid more attention to fighting.

Unfortunately, when they were assigned, they were assigned to Huofeng Dao. Otherwise, heading to the Xuanwu position, they could have a hearty great battle.

Of course, Niu Po Tian was not a fool. At the Xuanwu position, the danger was greater. In the past, they had gone to the Xuanwu position several times, and the mortality rate reached seventy percent.

Compared to other sects, it was much higher.

However, the disciples who returned had their cultivation improved faster, which was also the reason why the Armor-Clad Sect was powerful.

Also because of this point, even if the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Armor-Clad Sect was not up to standard among the first-class in the Central Region, it was still evaluated as a first-class power.

Don't underestimate this evaluation, because with this first-class sect evaluation, the Armor-Clad Sect could obtain such a large territory. ===== CHAPTER 781 =====

Do not underestimate this evaluation, because it is precisely because of this "first-class sect" rating that the Leather Armor Sect was able to obtain such a large territory.
