Chapter 627: Ning Yuchan's Change

On the front line of the Star River Battlefield, the army of the human race and the army of the Eight Desolations alien race were still fighting and entangling at the entrances of various channel fortresses.

On the Eight Desolations Continent outside the No. 53 channel fortress, Ning Yuchan was commanding the Uncle Xuan Hu Army to fight, calm and composed.

Having been in charge of the Uncle Xuan Hu Army for more than three months, Ning Yuchan's prestige in the Uncle Xuan Hu Army had undergone a heaven-shaking change.

At the beginning, she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility in a time of crisis, serving as the Deputy Army Lord of the Uncle Xuan Hu Army with a cultivation base of Seventh-Tier Sixth Layer. Although she had made great military achievements before, she was still widely questioned.

Age, gender, seniority, and cultivation base were all questioned.

It was only with the full support of State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao and Great Chen Commander Mao Yue that Ning Yuchan was able to successfully take charge of the Uncle Xuan Hu Army.

But the real challenge was after taking charge.

Fortunately, it coincided with the war on the Eight Desolations front line, and Ning Yuchan used her actual performance to sit firmly in the position of Uncle Xuan Hu Army Lord.

Not only did she command well in the first battle, but she also beheaded a Seventh-Tier Ninth Layer peak Eight Desolations alien race she encountered.

The military morale gradually stabilized.

Later, after Ning Yuchan beheaded an Eighth-Tier early-stage Eight Desolations alien general, Ning Yuchan's prestige in the Uncle Xuan Hu Army was unmatched for a time, even surpassing the former Army Lord Marquis Chai Ce.

Because even when the former Army Lord Marquis Chai Ce's cultivation reached the Eighth-Tier early stage, let alone beheading an Eighth-Tier early-stage alien general, he didn't even have the record of beheading a Seventh-Tier Ninth Layer peak alien general.

Plus, Ning Yuchan was clear in rewards and punishments, and the distribution of spoils was far greater than when Marquis Chai Ce was in charge.

For a time, the morale of the entire Uncle Xuan Hu Army soared, its combat power rose wildly, and there were signs that it was about to jump into the top three main combat legions of the Great Chen Star River Battlefield.

In recent months, the fierce fighting had become more and more intense, but the distance that the human army on the Star River Battlefield had advanced into the Eight Desolations Continent had also become further and further.

In today's battle, the Uncle Xuan Hu Army led by Ning Yuchan had already advanced a full two hundred miles into the Eight Desolations Continent.

According to the previous strategy, if the armies at other channel fortresses could also advance to a similar distance, they would build military fortresses to gain a foothold on the Eight Desolations Continent.

That's right, this offensive tactic adopted a steady and solid tactic.

It must advance as a whole.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to build military fortresses to garrison the Eight Desolations Continent.

If other units didn't advance, the unit that garrisoned would become an isolated army.

Amidst the heaven-shaking shouts of killing, the military formation advanced steadily, and the opposing Eight Desolations alien army retreated steadily.

Suddenly, starlight flashed, and a surging Eighth-Tier aura rose.

It was the Eighth-Tier mid-stage leading general on the opposite side who personally made a move.

As soon as the Eighth-Tier mid-stage powerhouse made a move, the momentum of the army's vanguard instantly stagnated.

At the same instant, Ning Yuchan, whose cultivation had reached the Seventh-Tier Ninth Layer peak, turned into a stream of light and rushed into the sky, rushing straight in front of the Eighth-Tier mid-stage alien general.

The moment she rushed close, Ning Yuchan, holding a long sword, spun and killed. The alien general gave a ferocious laugh, his fangs turning into two hundred-meter-long sharp knives, and amidst the surging starlight, he also slashed towards Ning Yuchan.

The moment they engaged, countless forest-white sword lights suddenly erupted from Ning Yuchan's body.

The sword light's evil aura rushed into the sky. Separated by hundreds of meters, many Sixth-Tier and Seventh-Tier generals vaguely sensed the forest evil aura contained in the sword light, making people dare not look directly at it.

Chi chi chi!

The sound of neat cutting came out.

In the rapidly spinning forest-white sword evil aura, the fang sharp knives of this Eighth-Tier mid-stage alien general, whose texture was comparable to top-grade Seven-Star spiritual treasures, were quickly cut into uniform small pieces.

In his unbelievable eyes, this Eighth-Tier mid-stage alien general was directly cut into countless fragments by the forest-white sword evil aura erupting from Ning Yuchan's body.

Even his battle armor, including his scales comparable to Seven-Star spiritual treasures, was cut into powder.

The forest-white sword evil aura flashed like a whirlwind, leaving only a pile of minced meat on the ground.

Amidst the screams, the embryonic form of this Eighth-Tier mid-stage alien's Origin Spirit had just escaped when it was directly blasted into fragments by a terrifying divine soul attack.

Under the passive growth of the Clear Soul Star Pattern, plus the several Sixth-Tier and Seventh-Tier divine soul spiritual medicines given by Xu Jin, Ning Yuchan's current divine soul Origin Spirit cultivation had also broken the limit.

The divine soul star art had extremely strong power, surpassing most Eighth-Tier powerhouses.

At the same time, Ning Yuchan's offensive did not stop.

She had already rushed into the alien army like a whirlwind with the forest-white sword evil aura.

Wherever she passed, flesh and blood flew, and broken corpses covered the ground.

Behind, the Uncle Xuan Hu Army soldiers roared like thunder, each of them looking like they had been injected with chicken blood, following Ning Yuchan into the alien military formation.

The main general was beheaded in public, the military morale had collapsed, and Ning Yuchan directly broke through the military formation, and the opposing alien army immediately collapsed.

Ning Yuchan led the Uncle Xuan Hu Army to pursue and kill for a hundred miles, beheading over ten thousand.

But just when the morale was like a rainbow, Ning Yuchan suddenly rose into the sky and waved her hand to stop.

The Uncle Xuan Hu Army, which was pursuing and charging like a tide, stopped instantly.

In front of the military formation, Ning Yuchan was in silver-white battle armor, not a drop of blood on her body, majestic and imposing.

Those who loved her called her Jade Luo Sha.

Those who feared and envied her called her Blood Luo Sha.

In front of the military formation, Ning Yuchan was activating the Heaven-Man Induction star art of the Mingji Star Pattern.

The vaguely transmitted sense of crisis made Ning Yuchan decisively choose to collect the battle results and retreat.

Of course, Ning Yuchan's choice to retreat was not just because of the Heaven-Man Induction star art.

The military situation was even more so.

All armies were fighting within the Eight Desolations Continent, presenting a state of advancing side by side, but most of the combat range was within two or three hundred miles of the military fortress, which could be advanced, retreated, and quickly supported.

If her Uncle Xuan Hu Army was too aggressive, it would inevitably attract great enemies.

Under Ning Yuchan's command, the Uncle Xuan Hu Army retreated like a tide.

What Ning Yuchan didn't know was that a thousand miles ahead of the Uncle Xuan Hu Army, Blood God Sect Leader Yu Shen was watching the distance from the clouds in the sky with another Ninth-Tier alien.

"The losses of the children are too serious, should we charge and kill for a while?" The Ninth-Tier alien Ju Lu saw the large number of Eight Desolations elites beheaded by the Uncle Xuan Hu Army and felt quite pained.

Blood God Sect Leader Yu Shen gave a cold look, "Brother Ju, this is the military order of your Great King. If you don't want to comply, that's your business, don't drag me into it."

"Three hundred miles is far from enough."

"At least five hundred miles, or even eight hundred miles deep, can we implement it."

"Sigh!"

Ju Lu sighed, watching more Eight Desolations elites being beheaded, and also watching Ning Yuchan lead the Uncle Xuan Hu Army to retreat like a tide until they retreated from the channel fortress back to the Star River Battlefield. "How many children have to be sacrificed to achieve the strategy?" The Ninth-Tier early-stage Ju Lu sighed.

"As long as we can ambush a Ninth-Tier of the other side, even if we sacrifice hundreds of thousands of troops for this, it is worth it." After speaking, the Blood God Sect Leader said again, "And as long as we succeed, the battle results will be continuous."

"I just don't know how long it will take."

"Soon, very soon, the prey will always become more and more greedy."

Inside the No. 53 channel fortress, the moment Ning Yuchan returned, she reported the battle report to the Great Chen Commander, and after dealing with various military affairs, Ning Yuchan entered her military tent for the first time and began to practice hard.

Normally, Ning Yuchan's cultivation had reached the Seventh-Tier Ninth Layer peak, and under Xu Jin's deliberate cultivation, her main combat and commonly used star patterns had all been comprehended to the Eighth-Tier Upper, so she should think of ways to break through to the Eighth Tier as soon as possible.

But Ning Yuchan did not.

Ning Yuchan's hard practice was activating her Eighth-Tier Upper Gold Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern.

Within the Gold Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern, the large amount of sharp gold rhyme accumulated by Ning Yuchan had already condensed into a Golden Rhyme Bead.

At this very moment, it was shining brightly within Ning Yuchan's Cloud Tower.

Under Ning Yuchan's constant activation, the Golden Rhyme Bead in the Cloud Tower sprayed out wisps of forest-white sharp gold evil aura, which wandered and circled in Ning Yuchan's physical body through the Cloud Tower.

At the same time, the surging divine soul power activated the special rhyme within the Golden Rhyme Bead.

Wandering like this again and again, wisps of evil aura several times more forest-like than the sharp gold rhyme were extremely slowly gathered from heaven and earth and merged into Ning Yuchan's Cloud Tower.

This evil aura was forest-like, violent, and in the forest-white light, at first glance, it was similar to other sharp gold star power, but if placed together with other sharp gold star power, this forest-white light was like a crane in a flock of chickens, looking extraordinary at a glance.

About one-fifth of the starlight flashing in Ning Yuchan's Cloud Tower had been replaced by this different kind of star power.

The hard practice Ning Yuchan was conducting at this moment was to replace most of the power in her Cloud Tower with this brand-new, different star power.

The special power that Ning Yuchan used to strangle the Eighth-Tier mid-stage alien in one encounter was this star power with evil aura shooting out.

This power was something Ning Yuchan had practiced hard for in the past few months.

It was also due to a whim.

The Eighth-Tier Upper Gold Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern could bring Ning Yuchan three wisps of sharp gold rhyme every day. At first, they were all used up.

In the past few months, they were used very little, and all were accumulated.

Ning Yuchan wanted to try the effect of the so-called Golden Rhyme Bead on tempering the physical body.

Condensing the Golden Rhyme Bead was not difficult; one hundred wisps of sharp gold rhyme were completely condensed.

But the subsequent tempering of the physical body was the most fatal part.

Every time she practiced at the beginning, it was like suffering torture.

Every time she activated the Golden Rhyme Bead to temper her physical body, Ning Yuchan felt as if she had been cut by a thousand knives.

Especially when practicing for the first ten days, Ning Yuchan couldn't even complete a full body tempering. After tempering for a while, she had to treat herself with the Star Healing Star Pattern once, temper for a while, and treat herself once.

Even if her Star Healing Star Pattern was also Eighth-Tier Upper and the treatment effect was strong, at the beginning, she still had to use the Azure Wood Rhyme to bless the treatment to recover.

Just like that, she still made herself look like a blood gourd.

Fortunately, Ning Yuchan persisted, and the pain became lighter and lighter.

At first, she tempered her body once, and she needed to treat herself more than ten times, which took a full half day.

Later, it was reduced to three or five times.

Later, she didn't need to use Star Healing once to complete the tempering.

By now, when she used this Golden Rhyme Bead to temper her physical body, she no longer needed Star Healing.

To be precise, her body tempering had already been completed.

The Geng Metal Spirit Body recorded in the Gold Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern's body tempering method had already been tempered by her.

It's just that normally, many people need three to five or even six to seven years of hard work to succeed, but she only used three months.

Ning Yuchan felt that this might have something to do with her innate gold-type talent.

But what Ning Yuchan didn't know was that no good person would treat themselves while tempering their physical body.

It's like, who is a good person who exercises while hanging a drip bottle?

After the Geng Metal Spirit Body tempering was completed, at first, Ning Yuchan only thought that it could improve the power of her gold-type star arts by ten or twenty percent, and that she would gather more gold-type star power from heaven and earth when activating gold-type star arts.

But she didn't expect that there were two benefits that Ning Yuchan noticed.

One big benefit was that after the Geng Metal Spirit Body tempering was completed, continuing to activate the Golden Rhyme Bead to consume the sharp gold rhyme could actually transform her star power into acquired Geng Metal star power.

This kind of acquired Geng Metal star power was full of evil aura, and its power was more than twice that of her original star power.

Even Seven-Star spiritual treasures were like tofu when cut.

Since discovering this, Ning Yuchan had been practicing hard recently, striving to transform her star power and even her Cloud Tower into acquired Geng Metal star power.

Of course, this was just the biggest benefit, and other benefits could be seen everywhere.

Including the significant increase in efficiency when Ning Yuchan comprehended gold-type star arts, etc.

And the second benefit that Ning Yuchan kept in mind was that after her body was tempered into a Geng Metal Spirit Body, it became whiter and more delicate, and even she couldn't put it down.

I believe he should like it even more.

Of course, in the message sent to Xu Jin using the Mandarin Duck Seal, Ning Yuchan was still embarrassed to tell Xu Jin about the changes in her skin; it was better to wait for Xu Jin to return and feel it personally.

As for the various magical changes brought about by the Golden Rhyme Bead condensed by the Gold Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern after body tempering, including the various feelings and experiences during the cultivation process, Ning Yuchan had told Xu Jin everything the first time she condensed the first wisp of acquired Geng Metal evil aura.

And with Ning Yuchan's hard practice, rumors also spread in the army.

Or rather, battle reports from other troops.

Some officers said that the Sin-Killing Army belonging to the Cangming Star Palace had already advanced four hundred miles into the Eight Desolations Continent.

Others said that the Sun-Holding Army of the Tianyang Star Palace had the number one battle record, killing five hundred miles into the Eight Desolations Continent, just one step away from the Licheng military city.

In comparison, the Uncle Xuan Hu Army was a bit conservative.

Some people in the army were dissatisfied, thinking that if the Uncle Xuan Hu Army didn't retreat, it would definitely be the number one battle record.

However, these tiny voices did not damage Ning Yuchan's prestige in the army.

However, as the human race on the Eight Desolations front line made more and more military achievements and gained more and more, the actions of various armies became more and more aggressive.
