Slaying a Half-Step Primordial Spirit
To the surprise of the Flame Demon Race, Chen Nianzhi had already noticed the anomaly through a few battle reports and analyzed that the enemy on the Profound Heaven Sect's battlefield was no ordinary foe, as they had brought their troops to provide support without even taking a break.
The Human Race arrived much faster than he had imagined, forcing the Flame Demon Lord to pay a fatal price for his momentary greed.
Just three days later, Chen Nianzhi, Profound Void Daoist, and Flying Feather Pavilion, along with the five major constellation array eyes and the power of most of the Three Vein Ancient Region, surrounded the Ghost Metal Sheep area.
A total of over a hundred War Treasure Ship, nearly three hundred True Lord gathered, including twenty Nascent Soul Late Stage experts, two Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm ancestors, and hundreds of millions of low-level cultivators, completely surrounding the Ghost Metal Goat Archipelago.
The Flame Demon Lord was stunned upon receiving the message. In this critical moment, he could only grit his teeth and say, "The Human Race army is powerful, and we are severely exhausted after a long battle. It seems that breaking through is no longer an option."
"Only by conquering Ghost Metal Goat Island and setting up an array on this Spirit Isle might we be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive."
Flame Demon Lord spoke, he ordered a frenzied attack on Ghost Metal Goat Island.
However, several Nascent Soul from the Flame Demon Race were tempted. The Great Elder of the Flame Demon Race directly transmitted his voice to several Devil Lord, saying, "The Clan Master wants us to break through the Star Constellation Array Eye for him, so that we can make a great contribution and exchange it for the fortuitous opportunity to break through to the Primordial Spirit."
"Yes, with his Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm cultivation, he has at least a 50-60% chance of escaping. But for us mere True Lord, as the encirclement gets smaller and smaller, our hope of escape will become increasingly slim?"
"To trade our lives for his chance to break through to the Primordial Spirit fortuitous opportunity, what a pipe dream."
Several Nascent Soul Devil Race sneered. Most Devil Race are selfish and self-serving. When they have an advantage, they are ruthless. But when faced with an enemy several times their size, they have no time to care about the war between good and evil.
Immediately, many Flame Demon True Lord began to store up their strength, preparing to take the opportunity to escape once the great battle began.
The Spiritual Qi of Ghost Metal Island is almost completely depleted, but the Flame Demon True Lord dare not go all out, while the people of the Profound Heaven Sect are defending it at all costs.
So much so that even after a full day of attacks, the Devil Race were unable to breach this last thin layer of defense.
When the Human Race army completely surrounded them from all directions early the next morning, the Flame Demon Race was immediately thrown into complete chaos.
In just one exchange, more than a dozen Devil Race True Lord began to flee for their lives, and the remaining Flame Demons, seeing this, immediately followed suit and scattered in all directions.
"Damn it, come back, come back!"
The Flame Demon Lord roared furiously, but his words were no longer effective. Profound Void Daoist and Flying Feather Pavilion attacked together, surrounding the Flame Demon Lord.
Not only that, seeing the Flame Demon army fleeing in disarray, Chen Nianzhi directly used the Myriad Immortals Subduing Demons Formation to trap the Flame Demon Lord.
This Myriad Immortals Subduing Demons Formation was originally intended to deal with the Devil Race army, but now that the Flame Demon Race's army has actually collapsed and fled, it can simply be used to deal with this formidable enemy at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm realm.
After trapping the Flame Demon Lord, the group began to hunt down the Devil Race army.
The group's strength was nearly three times that of the Devil Race, giving them an overwhelming advantage in hunting down the Devil Race.
Even the powerful Flame Demon True Lord was no match for the combined attack of the crowd.
The battle lasted for a full day and night. Apart from a small number of Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator who escaped with their lives at great cost, the remaining Flame Demon Race was almost completely wiped out.
However, even after the Flame Demon army was slain, the battle among the several Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm ancestors in the sky was not yet over.
The Flame Demon Lord possessed extraordinary strength, and he summoned three quasi-pure Pure Yin Demon Treasure. Despite the attacks from Profound Void Daoist and Flying Feather Pavilion, he did not perish, and even nearly managed to break through the Myriad Immortals Subduing Demons Formation times.
Seeing that the battle might continue for several more days, Chen Nianzhi spoke up, "Let's all join forces at the Nascent Soul Late Stage to lend Brother Fei Yu and the others a hand."
"Good."
More than twenty powerful True Lord joined forces, each possessing Nascent Soul Late Stage combat strength, continuously unleashing their immortal swords and Spirit Treasure to attack the Flame Demon Lord.
It's pitiful that the Flame Demon Lord, a peerless Primordial Spirit stage, has now reached his end.
Facing the combined attack of two formidable enemies, he was already severely injured. Now, he was besieged by a mob and was brutally hacked to death in mid-air.
Upon closer examination, this kind of death at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm level is extremely rare.
After all, powerful cultivators in the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage are extremely rare, and to be besieged by dozens of powerful cultivators at the same time, including two patriarchs who Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm cultivators, is almost impossible.
"Thank you all for saving my life."
After annihilating the Flame Demon Race, the last Nascent Soul Late Stage stage expert of the Profound Heaven Sect emerged, covered in wounds, and choked with emotion as he expressed his gratitude.
Chen Nianzhi looked around and discovered that the once number one sect in the Eastern Wilderness now only had eleven Nascent Soul True Lord still alive.
After the successive deaths of two sect leaders, the strength of the Profound Heaven Sect has declined again and again, and it is feared that it will be difficult to even maintain its position among the top ten in the Eastern Wasteland.
"Well."
Chen Nianzhi sighed, patted his shoulder, and said, "Please accept my condolences."
After clearing the battlefield, Chen Nianzhi did not immediately lead his men to Zhen Water Island for rescue. Instead, he said, "Everyone, we have fought many battles, and the cultivators are all exhausted."
"Let's rest and recuperate on Ghost Metal Island for seven days before launching our attack on Zhen Water Island."
After this battle, everyone had even greater faith in Chen Nianzhi. Even the Flying Feather Pavilion said politely, "We'll do as Fellow Daoist Chen says."
Despite the numerous battles fought recently, Chen Nianzhi's forces, while not suffering heavy casualties, have still sustained a significant number of wounded cultivators.
Many people rushed to the next battlefield before their injuries had even healed, and the continuous battles left them all physically and mentally exhausted.
Even those who weren't injured suffered severe depletion of their Law Power and Divine Sense, and would likely need a considerable amount of time to recover.
Moreover, the Spiritual Qi stored in the Treasure Ship has been largely depleted after successive battles, and it needs to be replenished with Spiritual Qi before it can wage large-scale wars.
However, due to the tense situation of the war, Chen Nianzhi did not dare to make too many repairs. He only made seven days of repairs, replenished the Treasure Ship with Spiritual Qi, left behind some of the more seriously injured people, and then sent troops to Zhen Water Island.
Before sending troops to Zhen Water Island, Chen Nianzhi received a talisman from True Lord Haoran, and then hurriedly convened a meeting with everyone.
During the meeting, Chen Nianzhi handed out talismans to everyone and then solemnly said, "Gentlemen, the enemy on Zhen Water Island is stronger than we expected. We must proceed with caution in this battle."
