Thunder Peng Charges toward Fifth Rank

Heaven Origin City, Heaven Origin Garden.

Yin Qing, Yin Shi, Tuna, Tuo Shan, and four other Spirit Transformation cultivators sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, their faces devoid of any joy.

Five Spirit Transformation cultivators perished, four Spirit Transformation cultivators were seriously injured, and Yin Jie's physical body was destroyed.

"I told you we shouldn't have started the war. Now look what's happened, we've suffered heavy losses again."

Tuna complained.

One of the Purple Charm Race's Spirit Transformation cultivators was killed, Tuna was also slightly injured.

"I never supported a proactive attack in the first place; Shen Long isn't so easy to deal with."

Tuo Shan echoed this.

"The Human Race also suffered considerable losses. We did gain something this time, but we didn't expect Shen Long to be so troublesome. Even the three of them, including Fairy Yi, couldn't kill Shen Long together. How exactly did Shen Long manage to kill Fairy Yi and the other two?"

Yin Qing looked completely confused.

They thought that Yi Yue and her two companions could kill Shen Long, and that with the Blood Soul Talisman, Shen Long would definitely be no match for them. Who would have thought that the reality would be so unexpected?

If it weren't for Shen Long, they might have actually won. With the help of the Thunder Roar Race and the Flying Feather Race, they killed several Human Race Spirit Transformation.

Even if Shen Long had arrived ten breaths later, Yin Jie might have still killed Lin Xiang, and the Human Race would have suffered even greater losses.

"I don't know. We're busy dealing with the Spirit Transformation of the Human Race. We don't have time to watch Fairy Yi and the other two deal with Shen Long. Not to mention those below the Spirit Transformation. Shen Long possesses a soul-type attack Spirit Treasure, making it easy for him to kill cultivators below the Nascent Spirit Transformation."

Yin Shi frowned and said.

Sending people to observe the battle on-site was impossible; otherwise, they wouldn't know how Yi Yue and her two companions were killed. The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

"This time, several fellow cultivators were seriously injured, as were many Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Human Race. Don't forget, Shen Long is a fifth-level Alchemist; he can refine healing pills. Human Race cultivators recover much faster than us. They haven't attacked yet, but what if the Human Race Spirit Transformation attack? Can we hold them off? Should we just abandon Heaven Origin Realm?"

Wu Zhu suggested.

"Abandon the Heaven Origin Realm? Where will all of us Heaven Origin Race members go? To the Bailing Realm?"

Yin Qing said with some dissatisfaction.

Even if the Flying Feather Race were willing, the Heaven Origin Race couldn't possibly lead over a million of its members to migrate to the Bailing Realm; the difficulty was immense.

Once they arrive in the Bailing Realm, how will the Heaven Origin Race obtain resources? Will the Flying Feather Race give them to them for free? That's impossible.

"The Bailing Realm and the Heaven Origin Realm are not adjacent. We can retreat to the Purple Eye Realm first and destroy the Spatial Node connecting the Heaven Origin Realm to the Purple Eye Realm, which can hinder the Human Race for a period of time."

Wu Zhu shared her opinion.

Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. The Heaven Origin Race has indeed suffered a great loss of strength, but it still has several Spirit Transformation cultivators, so its strength should not be underestimated.

No matter which realm the Heaven Origin Race migrates to, it might be fine in the short term, but in the long run, the Heaven Origin Race will inevitably clash with local forces over resources, and it's even possible that they will usurp each other's territory.

"I object. Does relocating the Heaven Origin Race to the Purple Eye Realm mean the Human Race won't attack? This method is completely unworkable. By giving the Heaven Origin Realm to the Human Race, Human Race can cultivate more powerful experts, making them even more difficult to deal with in the future."

Tuna objected.

Even if the Human Race doesn't attack the Purple Eye Realm, the Heaven Origin Race will eventually clash with the Purple Charm Race.

"Alright, you don't need to argue anymore. Heaven Origin Realm is our homeland, and we will not give it to the Human Race. We still have quite a few Spirit Transformation cultivators, plus a fifth-order Formation, so blocking the Human Race is not a problem. I will send someone to ask for reinforcements. Once we have new reinforcements, we will make further plans!"

Yin Qing smoothed things over.

The Heaven Origin Race now needs to win over the Purple Charm Race, Golden Scale Race, Flying Feather Race, and Thunder Roar Race. Without the help of these four clans, the Heaven Origin Race will surely be wiped out by the Human Race.

"We have already notified our people in the Lingxu Realm. They said that if the Human Race really wants to wipe out our Heaven Origin Race, they will not stand idly by. It's just that they have too much trouble in the Lower Realm, which is why they haven't Lower Realm."

Yin Shi added.

If it weren't for the considerable power of the Heaven Origin Race in the Lingxu Realm, the four clans would likely have retreated.

Tuna, Tuo Shan, and the others nodded and withdrew.

"If our people from the Lingxu Realm Lower Realm, we really can't stop the Human Race."

Yin Chi frowned, his face full of worry.

Their three counterattacks all ended in failure, and they simply lacked the ability and courage to organize a fourth counterattack.

Once the Human Race recovers its strength and attacks, they really won't be able to stop it.

"Send people to other realms to exchange for powerful fifth-tier Talisman that target both the physical body and the soul. As long as the power of the fifth-tier Talisman is great enough, we'll even exchange them for Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure. Without dealing with Shen Long, we simply cannot stop the Human Race."

Yin Qing gave the instructions.

With Yin Jie's physical body destroyed, Yin Qing now calls the shots in the Heaven Origin Race.

"This is the only way. If the time for our extermination truly comes, I hope our people from the Lingxu Realm will Lower Realm the mortal realm to support us!"

Yin Shi sighed.

······

In the western part of the Bailing Realm, on a vast and boundless plain, a group of Flying Feather Race cultivators patrolled the outskirts.

On a towering earthen slope stands a hundred-zhang-tall Cyan Stone Stele, inscribed with the four large characters "Diamond Plain), where a fifth-order Diamond Insect is sealed.

Numerous spatial rifts can be seen deep within the plains. These rifts vary in size, some are fixed, and some are mobile.

The sky was a hazy gray, and in some places a huge black vortex could be seen.

Two enormous golden beetles lay on a slope, one of them, a Diamond Insect, covered in wounds and looking weak.

"The Flying Feather Race and the Thunder Roar Race! Once we break out of here, it will be the day they are wiped out."

The battered and bruised Diamond Insect spoke, its tone filled with anger.

······

Time flies, and thirty years have passed.

Heaven Origin Realm, Three Saints City.

The streets were teeming with pedestrians, and many disciples of the Spirit Control Sect could be seen.

With Shen Long and Yuan Rui both advancing to the Spirit Transmutation Realm, the Spirit Control Sect's strength increased significantly, and they began recruiting soldiers and opening their gates to accept disciples.

In the Spirit Control Garden, Shen Long, Li Wenbin, and Zhao Sheng sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Li Wenbin expressed his gratitude.

"It was nothing, Fellow Daoist Li, you're too kind."

Shen Long said modestly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen destroyed Yin Jie's physical body. Even if he manages to regain his strength through possession, it will take him over a hundred years to recover. We must seize this opportunity and take down the Heaven Origin Race before he recovers."

Zhao Sheng shared his opinion.

"Fellow Daoist Lin hasn't emerged from seclusion yet. We'll wait for him..."

Before Shen Long could finish speaking, his expression changed, and he frowned, saying, "I have some urgent business to attend to. Fellow Daoists, please return!"

After saying this, Shen Long transformed into a streak of Escape Light and soared away, leaving the Three Saints City.

Li Wenbin and Zhao Sheng looked at each other, completely bewildered, wondering what Shen Long had gone to do.

A rolling Emerald Green Mountain Range stretched out before Shen Long standing in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

He released Thunder Peng, Thunder Peng body was covered in a surge of lightning.

"Master, I'm about to break through to the fifth rank."

Thunder Peng spoke.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening clap of thunder roared from high above, and the once clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

Shen Long quickly left the area and stood atop a high peak, gazing towards the valley where Thunder Peng was.

A massive Thunder Cloud floated above the valley, Thunder Cloud and expanding, its dark expanse creating a powerful sense of oppression.

A thunderous roar resounded, and a thick bolt of silver lightning struck down, heading straight for Thunder Peng.

Thunder Peng flapped his wings lightly, and countless Golden Arc surged out to meet it.

A deafening roar erupted, followed by flashes of gold and silver lightning.
