Nascent Soul Late Stage
Time flies, and sixty years have passed.
In the southern part of the Heaven Origin Realm, on a vast, boundless Cyan Grassland, hundreds of thousands of cultivators are engaged in a battle of magic.
The ground was a mess, with a large number of corpses visible, including those of Human Race and the Heaven Origin Race.
A gigantic Golden Giant Ape is locked in combat with a red Dove Bird, Dove Bird is circling incessantly high in the sky.
With a gentle flap of its wings, the red Dove Bird unleashed hundreds of giant fire blades that shot straight toward the Golden Giant Ape.
The Golden Giant Ape roared to the sky, unleashing a deafening howl and spewing out a Golden Sound Wave as it charged forward.
The Golden Sound Wave waves were incredibly powerful, and wherever they passed, the giant fire blades were completely shattered.
As the Golden Sound Wave swept towards them, the red Dove Bird opened its beak and spat out a Red Sound Wave. The two collided and perished together.
A crimson streak shot over and instantly arrived in front of the Golden Giant Ape.
The Golden Giant Ape unleashed a punch that collided with the crimson rainbow, producing a muffled thud as metal struck metal, sending the crimson rainbow flying backward.
A beam of red light appeared, revealing a short red Short Blade about a foot long.
The Golden Giant Ape stomped its right foot hard on the ground, causing the earth to shake violently.
The ground tore open, revealing thick, long cracks, and a powerful force of gravity suddenly appeared.
The red Dove Bird's body plummeted rapidly towards the ground, its surface radiating a bright red light as it stopped falling.
As the void rippled, a Golden Giant Hand appeared and slammed down.
The red Dove Bird's body plummeted rapidly from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
Before it even landed, the Golden Giant Ape charged at it.
The red Dove Bird opened its beak and spat out a thick stream of Crimson Flame, which landed on the Golden Giant Ape.
A deafening roar erupted as flames engulfed the Golden Giant Ape's body.
An angry roar rang out, and numerous Golden Giant Fist flew out from the sea of fire, smashing into the red Dove Bird one after another.
The red Dove Bird flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
The powerful gravity held it firmly to the ground, and a Golden Giant Staff fell from the sky, smashing into the red Dove Bird's head, causing it to bleed profusely.
A flash of red light appeared, and a voluptuous woman in a red dress appeared, looking flustered.
A Golden Giant Staff swept in, distorting and deforming the void wherever it passed.
The woman in the red dress was terrified and tried to get away, but the powerful gravity held her in place.
With nowhere to dodge, she opened her mouth, and a Red Flying Knife shot out, colliding with the Golden Giant Staff with a muffled thud.
The Golden Giant Staff easily pierced through the red-dressed woman's Body-Protecting Spirit Light, smashing her into a pulp.
The Nascent Soul flew out from the flesh and mud, was enveloped by a golden glow, and was drawn into a Golden Jade Vial.
A golden light shone from the Golden Giant Ape's body, transforming it into the likeness of Yuan Rui.
With a single gesture, he sent the Golden Jade Vial flying into his sleeve.
He looked into the distance and saw that the Heaven Origin Race cultivators had already retreated.
Yuan Rui did not give chase, but flew away into the distance.
Before long, he appeared in a magnificent city, with the three golden characters "Qingyang City" visible on the plaque.
There were many cultivators moving around in the city; they were all Human Race cultivators.
The war has been going on for over sixty years. The Green Plum Realm and the Gan Yang Realm joined forces to fight against the Heaven Origin Race and seized a large area of territory in the southern part of the Heaven Origin Realm.
Half an hour later, Yuan Rui appeared at the entrance of a vast manor. The plaque above the entrance bore the three large silver characters "Spirit Control Garden), and two Foundation Establishment Cultivator stood guard at the gate.
Yuan Rui strode in and came to a quiet courtyard, where Master Ice Silkworm, Han Yuwei, and Liu Yuruo were talking.
"Senior Brother Yuan, you're back."
Master Ice Silkworm greeted them.
"How's it going? Any news about Junior Brother Shen?"
Yuan Rui asked.
In the past sixty years, the Gan Yang Realm has mobilized a large number of cultivators to the Heaven Origin Realm. The Spirit Control Sect has recruited five Nascent Soul Cultivator and more than one hundred Core Formation Cultivator.
Shen Long was among the first Nascent Soul Cultivator to participate in the battle. He was ambushed and his whereabouts are unknown.
"No, Shen Long's Life Soul Lamp is normal. He's probably hiding somewhere cultivating. With his abilities, he can escape without a problem unless Spirit Transformation cultivator makes a move."
"Master Ice Silkworm said."
"A while ago, two more Nascent Soul Cultivator returned; they were also among the first batch of Nascent Soul Cultivator to go on the expedition."
Han Yuwei said.
Mo Wuya and Huang Ziqi had already joined them, and some Nascent Soul Cultivator had also come to Golden Peach Ridge to meet them.
Yuan Rui nodded and said, "I hope he's alright!"
"Senior Brother Yuan, how many Nascent Soul Cultivator did you kill in this battle?"
Master Ice Silkworm asked with a smile.
Yuan Rui transformed into Giant Ape, capable of withstanding Spirit Treasure, demonstrating immense power.
"A Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator and a fourth-tier Spirit Bird —the innate Divine Ability of the Heaven Origin Race are indeed formidable. If they were Spirit Controller, the amplification would be even greater."
Yuan Rui said.
Since the start of the war, many Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Human Race have been killed or wounded.
"The Heaven Origin Race's innate supernatural Divine Ability are indeed troublesome, but with our two realms joining forces, even the Heaven Origin Race cannot withstand them."
Master Ice Silkworm said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Yuan Rui went back to rest.
······
Deep within the North Cold Ice Plain lies a hidden underground cave.
In a simple Stone Chamber, Shen Long sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, his body enveloped in a Red Rosy Clouds.
After a while, the Red Rosy Clouds on Shen Long's body dissipated, and he opened his eyes, which gleamed with a sharp light.
"Finally, it's in the later stages."
Shen Long muttered to himself, a look of delight on his face.
By all accounts, he has been in the Nascent Soul Realm for almost three hundred years.
In less than three hundred years, he cultivated from the Nascent Soul Early Stage to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. This cultivation speed is considered fast, as most Nascent Soul Cultivator are still hovering in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
When the Golden-Winged Wind Peng advances, Shen Long also receives feedback. Without the feedback from the Golden-Winged Wind Peng, even in another hundred years, he might not be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Shen Long sensed something and went outside.
Iron Tail Scorpion lay in the corner, while Shen Hai sat cross-legged on the ground, his aura much stronger than before, having advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.
More than 30 years ago, Shen Hai survived the Lightning Tribulation and successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Shen Long is in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, while his avatar is in the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
"Congratulations, Master, on your great advancement in cultivation."
Iron Tail Scorpion offered his congratulations.
Shen Hai stood up. As a high-level Puppet, he would obey Shen Hai's Shen Long unconditionally without the slightest hesitation.
"It's been so long, I wonder if the war has ended yet."
Shen Long muttered to himself.
He needed to understand the situation outside. If the Human Race had withdrawn their troops, that would be troublesome, and he didn't want to stay in the Heaven Origin Realm forever.
"Master, are we leaving here?"
"Iron Tail Scorpion asked."
"Go out and scout, find out what's going on outside, and hopefully the Human Race haven't withdrawn their troops."
Shen Long said.
He put away the Formation Flag Formation Disk, and the temperature inside the cave dropped rapidly. Ice began to form on the stone walls, and the ice layer continued to thicken.
The Iron Tail Scorpion emitted a bright yellow light, and a Yellow Light Screen appeared, enveloping Shen Long and Shen Hai before disappearing underground.
The Yellow Light Screen moved quickly underground and left the area.
