The army totaled 1.5 million, digging through mountains and filling in rivers wherever they encountered them.
They didn't care about concealment or assassination attempts; they just pushed their way through.
Once quality reaches a certain level, quantity becomes meaningless.
For example, an S-rank like Xu Long could kill tens or hundreds of thousands of people with a single Spirit Bomb.
Or, by spraying out the Chaotic Mutation Agent, 1.5 million people would simply not be enough to kill.
However, these martial arts masters are not included in this category. Compared with other types of practitioners, martial arts masters are invincible in one-on-one combat, but they are only so-so in group battles.
A few hundred or a few thousand is manageable, but tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands could drown them.
Xu Long had wondered why Feng Qingyang, Master Fangzheng, and Daoist Chongxu had not undergone physical transformation. After exchanging ideas, he realized that the Martial Cultivation inheritance he had received was different from that of the three of them.
Perhaps many traditions have been lost as times have changed.
It's also possible that the Main God tampered with Xu Long's inheritance, but in any case, he's definitely more comprehensive and powerful than the three of them.
The 1.5 million-strong army swept across the land, advancing steadily and patiently.
Although the Demon Cult is the strongest force in this world, it can't make much of a fuss when faced with so many enemies.
It took two whole months for the army to completely surround the Demon Cult Sect, and only a handful of its experts remained alive.
Those who tried to break through were all stopped and killed by Feng Qingyang and his two companions; the once-powerful Demon Cult was now almost completely wiped out.
The imperial court's blatant actions aroused the resentment of martial arts masters, but when they saw the 1.5 million-strong army, not a single one dared to utter a sound.
Ren Woxing, who had originally resolved the drawbacks of the Star Absorbing Great Technique and was preparing to reclaim his position as leader of the Demon Cult Sect, also obediently went into hiding.
"The imperial court and the martial arts world have always kept to themselves, so why are they launching such a large-scale invasion today? Do they really think my Sun Moon Holy Cult is easy to bully?"
Although he had been driven to the brink of desperation, Grand Steward Yang Lianting remained arrogant.
"Tch, just a mere Mid Innate cultivator. Watch me slaughter him."
Feng Qingyang snorted coldly and drew his sword, ready to attack.
He has been extremely happy lately. The trouble that has plagued him for nearly a century will soon be resolved, and he feels a sense of high spirits.
"Don't panic, let me handle it!"
Xu Long stopped Feng Qingyang, intending to take action himself.
To obtain the treasure chest, you must personally defeat the target.
Feng Qingyang and his two companions have been on a killing spree for the past two months. Xu Long finally found an opportunity, so how could he let it slip away?
With a thought, the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram, which had been integrated into his body, appeared behind him.
Nine fist-sized spheres are arranged according to the positions of the Seven Stars of Beidou, exuding an air of mystery.
The Seven Stars of Beidou actually has nine stars.
The seven main stars are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, plus two hidden stars, Dongming and Yinyuan.
Nine stars represent nine kinds of power.
Currently, there are only six types of Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram, but their power is still extremely terrifying.
"Then let's try Precision Sniping first."
Xu Long muttered to himself, and in the next instant, a strangely shaped sniper rifle appeared in his hand.
It is about two meters long, has no magazine, and is covered with stars, making it look very exquisite.
Aim at Yang Lianting and pull the trigger.
Bang!
The sound was low, and the recoil was minimal, but its power was astonishing.
In order to see the power of the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram directly, Xu Long deliberately entered a state of " Unity of Heaven and Man ".
After the sniper rifle fired, extremely powerful streams of energy poured into the array and were emitted from the barrel.
The spiritual energy was surging, and the space itself was slightly distorted.
Yang Lianting, who Mid Innate, didn't even have a chance to react before he was instantly reduced to ashes.
[Defeat Yang Lianting! Obtain the treasure chest - Yang Lianting!]
The notification sounded in Xu Long's mind, much to his delight.
Logically speaking, even if this A-rank sniper rifle were fired at Yang Lianting's buttocks, it wouldn't harm him in the slightest; a master of Innate Internal Force could easily withstand it.
After the ability was solidified into the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram, its power increased by such a huge amount.
One shot, and it was reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace.
" Lianting! Lianting!"
No sooner had Yang Lianting died than a cry of alarm rang out, followed by an incredibly terrifying killing intent.
A man... a woman... dressed in a bright red robe
A person dressed in a bright red robe flew out of the palace, his face covered in tears.
"Who! Who killed my Lianting!"
Dongfang Bubai roared to the sky, and with a flick of his wrists, ten embroidery needles shot out.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The embroidery needle pierced the skulls of dozens of soldiers in an instant, so fast that they couldn't react in time.
Let alone ordinary people, even ordinary Innate masters might not be able to dodge it.
Dongfang Bubai's skill had reached the limit of the Innate Realm. If he hadn't been bound by the world's hierarchy, he probably would have advanced to the Golden Core Realm long ago.
"You old monster, prepare to die!"
Upon seeing Dongfang Bubai appear, Feng Qingyang and the other two could no longer hold back.
"You three humans have been fighting for so many years, and you still won't give up?"
Dongfang Bubai recognized the three people and immediately engaged them in battle.
According to the plan, Feng Qingyang and his two companions would shatter Dongfang Bubai's physical body and then force out the Ghost Demons.
What Xu Long had to do was to strike the Ghost Demons with his sword when it appeared.
The battle has just begun, and it's not Xu Long's turn to act yet. It's a good time to see what good stuff he can get from the treasure chest.
[Obtained 21 Low-Grade Spirit Stone!]
[Obtained the Gale Ring!]
Name: Gale Ring
Rank: Low-Grade Dharma Artifact
Type: Accessories
Origin: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer
Skill:
1. Power of Gale: Provides a slight increase in speed across all directions, or a significant increase in the speed of a specific action.
Note: You know what I mean!
"What the hell do I know?! What a load of crap!"
Upon seeing the detailed information about the ring, Xu Long was so angry he almost cursed aloud.
This is just an everyday item!
No wonder Dongfang Bubai was so infatuated with Yang Lianting; it turns out he was a little electric motor!
But then again... hehehe...
Xu Long solidified the power of the Gale Ring onto the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram, and as expected, the power was greatly enhanced.
What was originally a slight increase in speed across all aspects has now become a significant increase in speed across all aspects, while that specific movement has disappeared.
The main purpose of the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram is combat; those useless abilities are of little use.
The battle between Feng Qingyang, Master Fangzheng, Daoist Chongxu, and Dongfang Bubai was extremely fierce.
In a one-on-one situation, Dongfang Bubai is not afraid of anyone, but when three against one, he is no match.
"Hahaha! You couldn't kill me before, and you still can't kill me now! At worst, I'll just change my appearance, what can you do to me then!"
Dongfang Bubai laughed wildly, letting the three attacks land on him.
laugh!
puff!
Bang!
The terrifying force struck Dongfang Bubai hard, shattering his body into pieces and revealing the misty black shadow within.
"Now!"
