Fairy's Tribulation, Power of Withering

Above the clouds, two Nascent Soul True Lord clashed, their battle resounding with constant roars. Whirlwinds and sandstorms swept across the battlefield, and the immense pressure caused the cultivators below to flee in terror.

Lan Chang'an activated the [Dragon Wood Staff], which transformed into a nearly hundred-foot-tall ancient tree reaching the sky, its surface outlined with blood-red dragon shadows, and the roar of a dragon echoed in the sky.

True Lord Fang remained calm and composed, stirring the dim, yellowish Underworld Water with his palm. The water swirled and turned like Yellow Dragon Immortal City, gradually forming a millstone shape that reached the heavens, absorbing and transforming Lan Chang'an's power, growing stronger and stronger.

"As expected of Divine Ability or supernatural Cultivation Method imbued with the principles of Dao Rhyme of Reincarnation, it can actually convert and utilize the opponent's Law Power."

Lan Chang'an gained no advantage whatsoever. If it weren't for the long-lasting energy of his Evergreen Art, he would probably have been suppressed by his opponent by now.

Although True Lord Fang has not yet reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Early Stage, his Law Power and Divine Ability abilities are already stronger than those of veteran Nascent Soul such as the True Lord Red Snake and the True Lord Yunlan.

Just then, a familiar Nascent Soul aura approached from within the Demonic Path Realm.

Lan Chang'an stopped there and immediately distanced himself from True Lord Fang.

This move was originally intended as a test.

The familiar aura emanating from True Lord Fang was similar to that of the Nine Imprint Tablet, but very faint.

True Lord Fang calmly withdrew his hand, showing no intention of pursuing him.

Such a laid-back attitude slightly surprised Lan Chang'an.

As reinforcements for the Underworld Spring Sect, True Lord Fang clearly had no intention of risking his life for Beast King Valley and held back.

True Lord Fang appeared calm, but in reality, he was also surprised.

In the Great Qing Eastern Region, Nascent Soul Cultivator of similar cultivation levels would soon be overwhelmed and unable to breathe if they continued to fight him.

Lan Chang'an possessed profound Law Power and a long and deep energy flow, yet he was unable to suppress it.

True Lord Fang's decision not to pursue was also related to the characteristics of his own Cultivation Method and Divine Ability abilities.

If the enemy doesn't attack, he can't leverage their strength, and his power will be diminished.

"I've heard that True Lord Fang is the youngest Nascent Soul Cultivator to advance among the Six Demonic Sects, possessing some wisdom from his Previous Life, and is the reincarnation of a powerful being. I was somewhat skeptical before, but after today's battle, I'm starting to believe it a bit more."

Lan Chang'an looked surprised and exclaimed.

True Lord Fang is much younger than him.

To be precise, she is only slightly more than half the age of Lan Chang'an.

True Lord Fang remained noncommittal, and said with a faint smile:

"If True Lord Lu is willing to attach himself to and join the Underworld Spring Sect, I, Fang, am willing to reveal the truth about my Previous Life."

Lan Chang'an smiled and shook his head. This man was indeed cautious and meticulous.

Among the existing intelligence, a mainstream speculation is that True Lord Fang's Previous Life may have been a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Cultivator from the previous Underworld Spring Sect.

"The power of reincarnation is not unique to the [Nine Imprint Tablet]. The mysterious treasure and sect- Cultivation Method of the Underworld Spring Sect may involve the Dao of Reincarnation."

The Cultivation World is full of mysteries, so Lan Chang'an wasn't shocked by this; he was just a little curious.

After the two Nascent Soul True Lord clashed, Nascent Soul True Nascent Soul from neighboring regions quickly arrived.

The Dao Defense Alliance sent Fairy Xia, while the Demonic Path sent True Lord True Lord Black Feather and True Lord Guo.

Currently in the early stages of the Cultivation War, the two Nascent Soul faced off for a moment, neither showing any intention of engaging in a full-scale battle.

A month ago, Yin Yuanhai was transferred to assist other frontline areas.

Lan Chang'an and Fairy Xia faced off against three Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Demonic Path faction, including the unpredictable True Lord Fang.

Of course, Lan Chang'an also had Di Yan Jun, Tier 4 Demon King, so their strengths appeared to be roughly equal.

Lan Chang'an and Fairy Xia returned to the main town.

The two hadn't seen each other for almost a month, so they discussed the Dao in the cave and went together to learn the <Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cauldron Method>.

Xia Wenyue's Innate Dao Body, "Ice Soul Jade Marrow," is an excellent physique for dual cultivation. She benefits from the Secret Method even more than Lan Chang'an.

"I cannot leave the area I am guarding for too long."

Fairy Xia's face was flushed like the sunset, her hairpins were askew and her hair was disheveled. Her body, as pure as snow and as clear as ice and jade, had her ribbons come loose and her skirt was scattered. She lay in Lan Chang'an's arms, breathing slightly.

Lan Chang'an gazed at Xia Wenyue's beautiful features and her aloof, snow-white face for a long time.

"What's on Wen Yue's face? Why are you staring at her like that? Are you comparing me to that Peacock Saintess?"

Fairy Xia felt uncomfortable under his gaze and gave a slightly shy and reproachful rebuke.

Something unusual must be going on.

To her husband, every inch of her skin was pampered, and there was no secret she kept.

Lan Chang'an withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "When Wen Yue leaves this time, she might as well take the Peacock Saintess with her."

"My husband, are you really willing to do this? It's only been half a year, and yet..."

Xia Wenyue's pretty eyes widened slightly, somewhat surprised.

"This woman is merely spoils of war, not worth mentioning."

Lan Chang'an said nonchalantly.

The Peacock Saintess, after all, was a mortal enemy from back then, and there was no affection between them.

After experiencing the pleasure of a bride's first night, Lan Chang'an found the subsequent encounters much less enjoyable.

Now, I've lost much of my interest.

After enjoying himself with two Nascent Soul Fairies, Jiang Ziyan and Xia Wenyue, Lan Chang'an's standards inevitably rose, and his tastes became more discerning.

No matter how beautiful the Peacock Saintess was, she was still slightly inferior to the two Nascent Soul Fairies. She could only be considered a temporary wildflower to be enjoyed for the first time.

Rather than keeping him by her side and causing Fairy Xia to harbor resentment, it's better to be more magnanimous.

"If I were to execute the Peacock Saintess, would my husband be willing to do it?"

"Random."

"Wen Yue misunderstood her husband before."

Xia Wenyue was delighted, but also slightly ashamed.

She had previously thought that Lan Chang'an had developed feelings for the Peacock Saintess and would become her concubine in the future.

On that day, Lan Chang'an watched Fairy Xia leave as she headed to the neighboring town to guard the border.

Fairy Xia didn't stand on ceremony and took the Peacock Saintess away.

Until the two women disappeared.

Lan Chang'an calculated with his fingers, his expression grave.

"The tribulation that had befallen Wen Yue had vanished after Nascent Soul Formation. Now, however, signs are reappearing."

"Beauty is often tragically short-lived, is this due to the influence of Lu? But if it weren't for the influence of this True Lord, she, frail and sickly, would have stopped at the Xia Clan in Qingsha Bay and would have already passed away."

Moon Empress, Lan Chang'an turned 431 years old.

On the front lines of the Feng Kingdom and Chen Kingdom ahead of the Dao Defense Alliance, the Demonic Path army continuously stationed troops, attacked important Immortal City, and eliminated strongholds one by one.

The war continues to escalate.

The southern region of the Feng Kingdom, the largest in terms of territory, is the main battlefield.

Further south of the Feng Kingdom are the former Yan Kingdom and other cultivation kingdoms, all under the control of Beast King Valley.

Chu Tianfeng, Zhang Tianfeng, and other Nascent Soul Cultivator were all on the main battlefield in the southern part of the Feng Kingdom.

It is said that the sect leader of Beast King Valley is overseeing the battle there.

Lan Chang'an was located on the western battlefield of the Feng Kingdom. Further west was Chen Kingdom, a cultivation kingdom originally ruled by the Heavenly Net Sect and Xie Clan, and this area was guarded by True Lord Fang.

The Jing Kingdom was a secondary battlefield, controlled by the Profound Yin Sect and the Merchant Guild.

The Jing Kingdom also borders the Chen Kingdom, and Cult Leader Liang sect who guards that area, also faces considerable pressure.

On this day, Lan Chang'an stood on the city wall and sensed a violent aura that had recently emerged from the Demonic Path army in the distance, no less powerful than that of Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Reporting to the True Lord! A Fourth-Order Beast King from Beast King Valley is approaching our position."

The scouts at the front soon brought back news.

Several dozen breaths later.

Rumble...

The earth shook and dust rose up from a hundred miles away.

A colossal, scaled beast, comparable to a mountain, with a crocodile-like head, four hooves, and breathing clouds and mist, roaring like a whale, charged towards the stronghold of the Dao Defense Alliance, treading through billowing dust.

Wherever it passed, large cracks and gullies appeared on the ground, and hills were directly leveled.

It was none other than the Great Qing War Machine of Beast King Valley, Fourth-Order Beast King!

The entire army of cultivators from the Dao Defense Alliance paled as they gazed at the colossal, mountain-like Beast King, their hearts pounding with apprehension.

Although Lan Chang'an had not personally experienced the previous Demonic Path War, he had seen Fourth-Order Beast King.

When the Peacock Saintess pursued them for the second time, she brought with her the trump card of Fourth-Order Beast King when she entered the Fengyuan Kingdom.

Fourth-Order Beast King can directly confront a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but it is clearly inferior in intelligence and mobility.

"Contract the lines, establish battle formations, and return to defend key towns."

Lan Chang'an relayed the order.

The cultivator armies clashed and fought, with the Core Formation True Person below giving specific commands.

As Nascent Soul True Lord, the main task is to counterbalance the enemy's top combat power.

If one can severely injure or kill an enemy Nascent Soul, the impact on the battlefield is greater than that of a thousand troops.

Above the clouds behind the Fourth-Order Beast King, the figure of True Lord Fang, the commander-in-chief, appeared.

"Does True Lord Fang really think that having this War Machine will allow him to breach our key strongholds?"

Lan Chang'an said expressionlessly.

True Lord Fang smiled faintly and said, "I was merely following instructions and fulfilling my duties."

Before the words were finished, Escape Light of Core Formation Cultivator appeared from the army of cultivators below.

This included four Late Core Formation cultivators, and many more True Core and False Core cultivators.

Lan Chang'an's expression changed slightly. The number of the Golden Core Realm cultivators on the Demonic Path side was twice that of his own side, not even counting the several third-tier Spirit Pet and flying birds.

When there are too many Golden Core Realm Formation cultivators forming a battle formation, it is possible to temporarily block a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Rumble!

The Fourth-Order Beast King led the charge, leading a torrent of tens of thousands of war beasts to attack the frontline stronghold of the Dao Defense Alliance.

Behind them stretched an endless army of Demonic Path cultivators, Spirit Boat, giant warships, and strange beasts, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

The Golden Core Realm and Foundation Establishment cultivators of Beast King Valley flew into the air and attacked the great formation that enveloped the town, engaging in a battle with the cultivators inside the city from a distance.

Various magical Law Treasure, shimmering with light, darted and roared through the air. Meteor showers, lightning flashes and thunder roared, and vegetation formed soldiers... The battlefield before the important town was magnificent and dazzling, with ever-changing light and shadow.

"Fourth-Order Beast King is fearless and undaunted. If True Lord Lu doesn't take this seriously, this key frontline town will fall sooner or later."

True Lord Fang's gaze was fixed on Lan Chang'an. Since the latter didn't make a move, he was left with some peace and quiet.

Boom!

Unrestrained, the Fourth-Order Beast King rampaged through the stronghold with ferocious fury, causing the city's protective array to shimmer and reveal some gaps.

The Beast King is enormous, with thick hide and tough flesh. In terms of attacking Immortal City alone, it is more effective than ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Nascent Soul Cultivator are wary of being targeted and injured; Beast King are not only more resilient, but more importantly, they are immune to injury.

"True Lord Fang mobilize such a large force, Core Formation Cultivator and Fourth-Order Beast King leading the charge? All of this is to simultaneously restrain me and Di Yan Jun?"

Lan Chang'an said with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Fang's leisurely expression vanished, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Di Yan Jun, why don't you fight?"

Realizing something was wrong, True Lord Fang turned his gaze to the Half-Demon Rat-Man beside Lan Chang'an on the city wall.

Di Yan Jun's body shimmered with an earthy yellow light, emanating Qi of Earth Sha.

It remained motionless, staring intently at the Fourth-Order Beast King crashing into the city wall below, seemingly ready to attack at any moment, yet it did not move.

"Could it be that there's an inside man in the Beast King Valley's upper echelons, and this kid knows about the plan?"

True Lord Fang showed deep thought.

According to the plan, the Fourth-Order Beast King was intended to be used as a temporary exchange for the Di Yan Jun.

Otherwise, True Lord Fang only needs to keep an eye on Lan Chang'an. The Demonic Path, with its Fourth-Order Beast King attacking the city, twice the number of the Golden Core Realm warriors, and numerous Spirit Pet and war beasts, is more than capable of breaking through the key towns on the front lines.

Gazing at the Di Yan Jun on the distant city wall.

True Lord Fang activated the [Eye of Truth-Breaking], and his indifferent eyes revealed dark golden double pupils, staring at Di Yan Jun on the city wall.

The Di Yan Jun, as perceived by the senses, showed no abnormality in its aura, but under the lock-on of the dark golden double pupils, its form gradually became ethereal, its interior empty.

At the center of the hollowed-out, ethereal form was a fourth-order phantom rune.

"Not good!"

True Lord Fang's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Lan Chang'an to have seen through his plan.

That Tier 4 Spirit Talisman, used to forge a fake Di Yan Jun, was enough to deceive most Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators.

Tier 4 Spirit Talisman are incredibly precious, and illusion-type spirit talismans are even rarer and more uncommon. How could this kid happen to possess one?

It should be noted that there are very few fourth-tier talisman refining masters in the entire Eastern Region. And on the side of the Dao Defense Alliance, there has been no news of a fourth-tier Talisman Master emerging.

"Heh, a mere pseudo-fourth-tier Beast King, why would he need Di Yan Jun's assistance?"

Before Lan Chang'an's laughter had even faded, only a fleeting afterimage remained in his wake.

Swish!

Separated by a wall, Lan Chang'an appeared atop the Fourth-Order Beast King, a playful smile playing on his lips.

How dare he engage the Beast King in close combat?

True Lord Fang was stunned by Lan Chang'an's behavior.

In close combat, Fourth-Order Beast King is comparable to Demon King. For a fourth-tier Body Cultivator, it would be very dangerous for an ordinary magic cultivator to get so close.

Although he couldn't understand Lan Chang'an's actions, True Lord Fang transformed into a dim yellow beam of light and rushed over to support the Fourth-Order Beast King.

He wasn't worried about the safety of the tough-skinned beast Beast King, but rather about Lan Chang'an's unease at having seen through their plan.

At the same time, Lan Chang'an, who was positioned at the head of the Fourth-Order Beast King, slowly clapped out two palms.

Withered Extinction Divine Light!

Two beams of deep blue light, shifting between light and shadow, gathered between those palms, radiating an aura of decay and decay from the passage of time.

Snap! Snap!

Two beams of extinguishing light, containing the forbidden power of withering and decay, corroded two dried-up blood holes in the massive head of the Fourth-Order Beast King.

These two bloody holes are nothing more than minor injuries to a massive Fourth-Order Beast King.

But True Lord Fang, who was flying away in the distance, sensed an ominous aura and discerned the clues of the [Withered Extinction Divine Light].

"Oh no! Life-Draining Divine Ability— "

True Lord Fang instinctively felt a sense of unease and quickly thought of the Fourth-Order Beast King in Beast King Valley, all of whom were created by sacrificing their lifespan and potential.

Furthermore, the chosen Demon Beast targets are naturally not young types with high potential.

Roar!

The Fourth-Order Beast King didn't care about the minor flesh wounds. Instinctively, it opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Lan Chang'an, only to miss its target.

Lan Chang'an teleported, stepping onto the Beast King's head, and stood with his hands behind his back.

The whole process takes only a breath or two.

The Fourth-Order Beast King, having been tricked, roared in fury and tried to shake off Lan Chang'an from above.

However, the enormous, mountain-like body of the Beast King suddenly stiffened.

On the battlefield, the air was thick with the stench of Blood Qi.

The Fourth-Order Beast King's fur and flesh withered at a visible rate, and its life Blood Qi rapidly diminished.

Its body shrank instantly, becoming skin and bones.

The Fourth-Order Beast King stood frozen in place, its blood-red eyes, larger than lanterns, staring intently at the white-robed man above it.

With a loud "boom".

This colossal war beast, as large as a mountain, collapsed, smashing a crater in the ground and sending dust billowing up.

This moment.

Both sides, including numerous cultivators, battle beasts, Spirit Pet engaged in combat, fell into a brief silence and pause.

Everyone looked toward the center of the battlefield where the giant Beast King had fallen dead.

"How could this be...?"

The cultivators from both the righteous and demonic sides gaped, utterly shocked.

The Fourth-Order Beast King is the War Machine swept through the Eastern Region of Beast King Valley, having conquered countless Immortal City and cultivation sects.

Numerous Divine Sense swept over the area, confirming that the Beast King had reached the end of its lifespan and its soul had vanished.

"This wretched creature, barely twenty years old, dares to bare its fangs and claws before me, the True Lord."

Lan Chang'an said calmly.

He unleashed two Withered Extinction Divine Light close to the face, each reducing the lifespan of a cultivator of the same level by at least thirty years.

In all calculations, Beast King Valley still owes him a few years of his lifespan.

"Lan Chang'an! You actually practice such a forbidden technique that violates the laws of nature."

True Lord Fang flew over and looked at the Beast King's withered corpse, his eyes revealing fear.

He dared not get too close and instinctively kept his distance from Lan Chang'an.

Such forbidden techniques often come at a price. To cultivate to Lan Chang'an's level, one would likely have to sacrifice a significant portion of their lifespan.

"Beast King Valley breeds a large number of war beasts, cultivates Beast King, and stifles potential lifespans. Isn't that ten or a hundred times more immoral than what I, Lu, have done?"

Lan Chang'an said with a mocking expression.

Whether something is considered offensive to the natural order depends on whether it poses a threat to the person speaking to it.

If there's no threat, no one will care even if you self-harm.

True Lord Fang's expression froze. Realizing the plan had failed, he asked in a deep voice:

"Where did True Lord Lu get this information?"

"Heh, our Dao Defense Alliance has spies within Beast King Valley, and even among the higher-ups of the Wujian Gate."

Lan Chang'an said in a profound and unfathomable way.

At this moment, he flipped his hand and took out a communication token, which contained a distress message from the area guarded by Fairy Xia.

The Immortal City where Fairy Xia resided was besieged by three Nascent Soul Cultivator, whose army of cultivators was two to three times larger than hers.

Under normal circumstances, without the assistance of Nascent Soul Cultivator, they simply cannot hold out for long.

This was the ominous sign that Lan Chang'an had divined about Fairy Xia several months ago.

"You only need to defend the city for half a day."

Lan Chang'an's figure blurred as he arrived above the important town, tossing down several useful third-tier Puppet.

"Yes, True Lord Lu."

The Core Formation Cultivator guarding the area respectfully accepted the third-tier Puppet.

With the Fourth-Order Beast King defeated, the pressure on the city defense has been greatly reduced.

"Is True Lord Fang intending to stop me, Lu?"

Lan Chang'an remained calm and composed, with a pair of imposing Black Wing several meters long forming behind him, and a faint black mist flowing around his body.

With a flap of his Black Wing, Lan Chang'an transformed into a streak of black lightning, soaring into the sky above the clouds.

True Lord Fang's expression changed, and his feet Escape Light twice, but he ultimately did not pursue.

First, Lan Chang'an possesses the [Black Sky Wings], whose normal escape speed is insufficient to catch up.

Secondly, he had no reason to risk his life for Beast King Valley, especially after seeing Lan Chang'an's <Withered Extinction Divine Light>.

If you lose decades or even centuries of your lifespan in a life-or-death struggle, you'll have nowhere to turn for help.

"Continue the siege!"

Having made up his mind, True Lord Fang gave a stern shout and issued the order.

Having lost Fourth-Order Beast King, he knew he would find it difficult to breach the stronghold within half a day.

The stronghold is protected by a pseudo-fourth-order grand formation, and is defended by many Core Formation Cultivator and third-order Puppet. It is difficult to conquer it head-on and will take some time.

However, it still has to be done in a pretentious manner.

True Lord Fang may not be able to keep Lan Chang'an, but he will do his duty to attack key towns on the front lines and put pressure on the Dao Defense Alliance.

Anyway, the cultivators who were killed weren't from his Underworld Spring Sect.

Feng Kingdom, Yuanliu Immortal City on the southwestern border.

Dark clouds loomed over the city, threatening to crush it. An endless army of Demonic Path cultivators, war beasts, and flying birds surrounded the entire Immortal City, leaving no way out.

Above the Immortal City, thousands of Spirit Crane danced, their feathers filling the sky, forming a grand formation that annihilated all living beings, blocking any escape routes in the sky.

Elder Wanhe, True Lord Black Feather, and True Lord Guo, three Nascent Demonic Path Nascent Soul the Immortal City, each employing their own methods and Law Treasure to fiercely attack Yuanliu Immortal City.

Immortal City, Fairy Xia, dressed in a moon-white gown, sat cross-legged on Lotus Platform.

She made a hand Hand Seals, and snowflakes danced in the air. A crystalline white icy light spread from her body, covering the weak points of the Immortal City's grand formation and solidifying into a thick ice wall.

Boom! Crack!

The Immortal City's grand formation quickly broke open, creating a large crack, and the ice walls shattered.

Despair and panic enveloped the entire Yuanliu Immortal City.

"Break down the city! Charge into the city!"

"If possible, capture Fairy Profound Ice alive to prevent her Nascent Soul from leaving her body and escaping."

At the command of the three Demonic Path True Lord, the Core Formation Cultivator of Beast King Valley led a large number of flying beasts and war beasts into the great rift.

"Turtle Lu! You captured my wife alive, today I will capture and kill your woman, and make you suffer many times the humiliation!"

A cruel smile appeared on True Lord Black Feather's cold face.

Beast King Valley couldn't find a weakness in Lan Chang'an and therefore couldn't retaliate. So they changed their strategy and targeted the woman closest to Lan Chang'an.

If we could capture and kill Fairy Xia, who is at the Nascent Soul Realm stage, and take revenge using those methods, the effect would be far better than Lan Chang'an's humiliation of the Peacock Saintess.

To ensure the feasibility of the plan.

Beast King Valley exerted significant pressure on the frontline area adjacent to Fairy Xia, preventing her from providing assistance.

Although Lan Chang'an has a fourth-tier Spirit Pet, the Fourth-Order Beast King of Beast King Valley are powerful in direct combat and can hold out for a long time.

"Fairy Xia, you cannot escape your fate today. Surrender now! Hmph! Blame Lan Chang'an for bringing shame upon Beast King Valley and incurring public wrath."

Enveloped in black wind and demonic flames, True Lord Black Feather charged towards the breached rift in the formation.

Xia Wenyue, isolated and helpless within the city, resembled Azure Lotus fairy from a painting, pure and untainted by the mud, igniting a burning passion in the heart of True Lord Black Feather.

He would gladly accept this woman as a replacement for the Peacock Saintess, even if he had lost her.

As the cultivators from Beast King Valley broke through the formation and entered the city, True Lord Black Feather followed closely behind.

Fairy Xia was as aloof as frost, and with a gentle wave of her sleeve.

Squeak!

A Rat Demon the size of a mongrel dog appeared at her feet.

Whoosh!

A violent sandstorm suddenly arose out of nowhere, expanding a hundredfold from the size of a house in an instant, transforming into a terrifying Yellow Sand hurricane that swallowed up the group of Beast King Valley cultivators, birds, and war beasts who had just rushed into the gap in the formation.

"Ah..."

Screams rose and fell, and within the massive Yellow Sand sandstorm, blood mist and bone fragments swirled, like Infinite Hell.

The vanguard of cultivators from Beast King Valley was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, including several Core Formation Cultivator.

"Di Yan Jun!"

"If this rat wasn't with Lan Chang'an, how did it end up in Yuanliu City?"

This dramatic turn of events caused the three Demonic Path True Lord to change their expressions drastically, their hearts sinking.

With the addition of a Tier 4 Demon King, the situation changed drastically.

If it were a three-on-one situation, they could easily overwhelm and kill Fairy Xia, as their strength was at least three times greater.

Especially True Lord Wanhe, whose strength is among the top in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, and who also has an army of cultivators several times larger.

However, with the enemy having an additional Nascent Soul cultivator, making it 3 against 2, this power gap is significantly reduced.

Under such circumstances, let alone capturing Fairy Xia, it would be very difficult to even kill her in a short time.

Boom!

The black wind and demonic flames surrounding True Lord Black Feather collided with Di Yan Jun's Yellow Sand hurricane, destroying each other and rescuing some of the surviving elite cultivators.

At this moment, he found himself in a somewhat awkward situation.

Furthermore, if they were to storm into the Immortal City, they would face a two-on-one situation, confronting the combined attacks of Fairy Xia, Di Yan Jun, and all the cultivators within the city.

If he had [Black Sky Wings], he would charge in without hesitation.

Taking a step back, while a safer option, would mean losing a hard-won opportunity and incurring a huge loss.

Once Fairy Xia and Di Yan Jun plug the crack and repair the formation, it won't be so easy to break through the city again.

"Heiyu! Charge in! We'll follow immediately."

The True Lord Wanhe behind him immediately transmitted his voice.

This is an opportunity to breach the city walls, and it absolutely cannot be missed.

Once the city is completely breached, they will have an absolute advantage in both top-tier combat power and their army of cultivators.

"Good!"

True Lord Black Feather gritted his teeth, summoned a Black Blade Law Treasure, and his body surged with black wind and demonic flames.

Just then...

He suddenly felt his body sink, as if he were about to fall, but he used his magic Law Power to forcefully resist it.

It turned out to be the Di Yan Jun from afar, using the Earth Binding Technique.

"Go!"

Fairy Xia's eyes were cold, snowflakes danced around her, and she flicked her finger with her hand.

Ice Soul Divine Chain!

A silvery-smooth Black Iron Ice Chain, like a Cold Rainbow stretching across the Arctic, instantly wrapped around True Lord Black Feather's waist and thighs.

True Lord Black Feather initially didn't take it seriously, intending to unleash his power to shatter the [Ice Soul Divine Chain].

But a terrifying chill instantly froze and spread throughout his flesh and bones. Even the nascent soul's Nascent Soul Law Power within his body was stagnated and sealed off by the intense cold.

He could only unleash half of his full Law Power; frost spread rapidly across his body, causing multiple frostbite cracks.

"Please, you two, save me!"

True Lord Black Feather let out a terrified roar.

He couldn't understand how this Fairy Xia, as a newly promoted Nascent Soul, could possess such a powerful ice magic Law Treasure.

Moreover, Fairy Xia's Innate Dao Body provides a significant boost to cold-type Divine Ability, which is why she held back during her previous defensive maneuvers.

The True Lord Wanhe and True Lord Guo, who arrived later, were also surprised.

I originally thought that Fairy Xia's fighting strength was similar to Yin Yuanhai's, but I didn't expect her to be much stronger, possibly even above True Lord Black Feather.

"Quickly save Heiyu!"

True Lord Wanhe and True Lord Guo were about to charge into the crack in the formation to resolve the Heiyu crisis.

call out--

Suddenly, a bolt of Heiyu Escape Light, as sharp as lightning, streaked across the clouds high in the sky, swooping down from behind towards True Lord Wanhe and his companion.

A slow, deliberate male voice came from behind:

"Wen Yue, don't panic! Your husband is coming to save you."
