Casualties in the Fierce Battle; the Black Crane True Spirit Star Falls
Hiss! Roar! Cry...
In the vast and boundless depths of the starry sky, the roars and cries of "True Spirit" before their collapse and fall can be heard from time to time. Then, one "True Spirit Star" after another falls, representing the fall of one "True Spirit Lineage" after another.
At this time, more than three months had passed since the Kong Household disciples entered the "Peacock True Spirit Star" to resist the invasion of Demon Race and martial cultivators and guard the "True Spirit Star".
Within this "Peacock True Spirit Star," they have already defeated and killed more than a dozen waves of attacking Demon Race, Demon Beast, and martial arts cultivators.
He has broken through the "Ten Thousand Demons Formation", shattered the "True Martial Grand Formation", slain the "Demon Race Flying Boat", and destroyed the "True Martial Chariot". As for the number of Demon Race, Demon Beast, and martial artists he has killed, it has long exceeded tens of thousands.
The number of Fourth Tier Demon Race and Fourth Tier martial artists who perished on this "Peacock True Spirit Star" has already exceeded twenty.
The Kong Household only had two Fourth Tier Golden Core cultivators, Kong Wenxuan and Kong Changgeng, yet they had already killed dozens of times more Fourth Tier enemies, a truly remarkable achievement.
Such numerous victories naturally brought considerable benefits. The "Peacock True Spirit Star" had already increased its size by one ring simply by absorbing the blood of these fallen Demon Race, Demon Beast, and martial artists.
As for the meritorious deeds, the integration and enhancement of the starlight transformed from the "Heaven and Earth Origin" further propelled the "Peacock True Spirit Star" to a height of several hundred feet in this "Seventh-Grade True Spirit Heaven".
Of course, with such a victory, the Kong Household could not have come without any losses or sacrifices.
In the more than three months of fierce fighting, even with the protection of the "Five Elements Grand Formation" and the rapid recovery of Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness by the "Five-Colored Starlight", the Kong Household disciples had already sacrificed nearly three hundred Qi Refinement disciples and suffered more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators dead or injured.
Such a casualty rate is already close to one-tenth of that of cultivators at all levels.
After all, the number of Qi Refinement disciples from the Kong Household who entered the "Peacock True Spirit Star" to participate in guarding the star and resisting the invasion was only over three thousand, and the number of Foundation Establishment disciples was only over three hundred.
In other words, there were more than a dozen Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage cultivators. Although some were injured, none of them perished. With them in charge and leading the various teams, these teams were prevented from collapsing and scattering, and were able to continue fighting and killing.
If the Kong Household family members suffered such losses in such a fierce battle, the casualties among the recruited cultivators from the three servant Lineage of Yan Household, Ma Household, and Yun Household would naturally be even more severe.
Their cultivation, strength, and combat power were inferior to those of the Kong Household disciples, and they were unable to form a battle formation. The "Five-Colored Starlight" was also far less effective at restoring their Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness than the Kong Household disciples. Under these various disadvantages, nearly half of the cultivators from the three servant Lineage were killed or wounded in the three months of fierce fighting.
It was only because the Kong Household, the main family, was there to hold the line and promised double the compensation and rewards that these servant Lineage managed to persevere; otherwise, they would probably have collapsed long ago.
As for the Peacock Dao Soldiers team, it also suffered heavy casualties in the three months of fierce fighting. More than half of the First Tier and Second Tier Peacock Dao Soldiers were killed or wounded, and even two Third Tier Peacock Dao Soldiers perished.
However, Kong Wenxuan and the clan leader Kong Changgeng, both Fourth Tier Golden Core cultivators, have remained unharmed despite the hardships and dangers they have faced during these three months of fierce fighting.
However, during the three months of fierce fighting, three of the "Five Elements Divine Swords" that Kong Wenxuan had refined were broken, and they were all repaired by the constantly recovering "Golden Core Power". As for the three Fourth Tier "Beast Taming" controlled by the clan leader Kong Changgeng, one of them, the Fourth Tier "Golden-Horned Rhinoceros" beast, also died in the fierce fighting.
This was also the most dangerous battle Kong Wenxuan and his Lineage members faced.
The majority of the Kong Household family members who died or were injured, the two fallen Third Tier Peacock Dao Soldiers, and the majority of the casualties from the three servant cultivator Lineage all occurred during that most dangerous ninth wave of attack.
The upper echelons of the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" control the entire war situation through the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram". They will continuously increase and release more enemies based on the performance of each "True Spirit Lineage" in defense and combat, as well as the ease with which they kill invading enemies, in order to reduce the attacks and pressure on other parts of the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram".
Kong Wenxuan led the Kong Household disciples to guard the "Peacock True Spirit Star," resisting and killing invading enemies, and they consistently performed quite well.
Basically, every wave of Demon Race, Demon Beast, and martial cultivators sent by the "True Spirit Diagram," whether they were in demon formations, martial formations, or flying boats and chariots, Kong Wenxuan and his clansmen and Lineage were able to kill them all.
As a result, the enemies released by the "True Spirit Diagram" are becoming more numerous and stronger.
Until the ninth wave of enemies reached its peak in terms of both number and strength, in that battle, the Kong Household family disciples and the Puxiu Lineage team suffered heavy casualties, and the Peacock Dao Soldiers team directly lost two Third Tier Peacock Dao Soldiers.
Even the "Five Elements Grand Formation" protecting the "county town" was breached by the enemy, and the demon Demon Beast Demon Race, martial artists, and others directly stormed into the "county town".
It can be said that it was the most dangerous moment for the Kong Household and the "Peacock True Spirit Star". They almost suffered the same fate as those "True Spirit Star" in the depths of the starry sky, being destroyed and falling to the mortal world by the enemy.
Finally, it was only thanks to Kong Wenxuan breaking two of the "Five Elements Divine Swords" and the clan leader Kong Changgeng self-destructing his Fourth Tier beast "Golden-Horned Rhinoceros" that all the enemies who had invaded the city were killed, the "Five Elements Grand Formation" was stabilized and repaired, and the clan managed to save itself with great difficulty.
After this dangerous battle, the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram" also realized the limits of the Kong Household, so the number and combat strength of the enemies sent later were much weaker.
Therefore, the disciples of the Kong Household guarded this "Peacock True Spirit Star," which enabled them to resist and kill more than a dozen waves of invading enemies without encountering any problems, and they were able to continue fighting.
However, the Kong Household successfully saved themselves at the most dangerous moment, guarding the "Peacock True Spirit Star". But, in the vast starry sky transformed by the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram", among the thousands and tens of thousands of "True Spirit Star" and True Spirit Lineage, there were naturally those who failed to save themselves, unable to withstand the invasion and attacks of Demon Race, Demon Beast, and martial cultivators, resulting in the collapse of their True Spirit, the fall of their Stars, and their Lineage falling to the mortal world.
During these three months of fierce fighting, Kong Wenxuan saw that the number of "True Spirit Star" that had fallen in the depths of the starry sky had already exceeded fifty or sixty, which shows how dangerous they were.
Phew!
Half a month later, Kong Wenxuan was leading his Lineage members to resist and kill another wave of invading enemies when he suddenly heard a mournful and desperate cry of "True Spirit," like the cry of a crane.
Moreover, this time the mournful cry of the "True Spirit" was very close, as if it were ringing in his ear, which startled him.
He quickly separated a wisp of his mind and consciousness to merge with the "Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit". Looking through the "True Spirit's" perspective, he saw that the "Nine-Rank True Spirit Black Crane" in the "Ninth-Grade True Spirit Ninth-Grade True Spirit Heaven" had been defeated and scattered by the enemy, and the "Black Crane True Spirit Star" directly collapsed and fell from the starry sky.
Through the perspective of the "Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit," he could even see that on the shattered and fallen "Black Crane True Spirit Star," there were still a large number of broken corpses and flesh of cultivators scattered around, but there were no longer any living cultivators.
"This is... the ' Black Crane ' He Household!" Kong Wenxuan recognized them instantly, his heart filled with shock. "The He Household is finished too!"
