The Fall of a Golden Core, the Start of a Fierce Battle of Attack and Defense
Screech! Roar...
Seeing that the Geng Household had set up a "Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation" behind the battlefield, the Demon Race in the "Spirit Taming Pass" instantly knew the purpose of Kong Wenxuan and the other attackers. Instantly, a sharp cry of a demonic bird and a roar of Demon Beast came from the "Spirit Taming Pass", as if an order had been given.
The next moment, many of the attacks that were originally aimed at the armies of Bifang Commandery and Huodou Commandery in "Spirit Taming Pass" immediately changed direction and bombarded the army of Qinggeng Commandery behind the two counties' armies, as well as the "Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation" that had been initially deployed.
The Demon Race within the "Spirit Taming Pass" wanted to first break through and destroy the "Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation," which was used to break the formation and pass through the pass.
"Stop them!"
"Protect the army of Qinggeng Commandery!"
Seeing this, the cultivators from the Bi Household and Huo Household, who had led the armies of the two counties in the attack, raised their voices and gave orders to turn their armies around to intercept and block the various attacks that were heading towards the Qinggeng Commandery army and towards the "Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation".
Under the leadership of the Bi Household army, Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household's army in Peacock County had no choice but to change direction. Not only could they not avoid the attacks in "Spirit Taming Pass", but they also had to actively meet and intercept some of the incoming attacks.
Seeing this, Kong Wenxuan and his Lineage Kong Yushuo stopped fighting alone and joined forces with the Peacock County army to resist the various demonic arts, demonic lights, demonic weapons, and even Divine Ability attacks that came their way.
He activated the "Five Elements Divine Swords" to form the strongest defensive "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," standing steadily in front of the Kong Household army. He actively activated the sword formation to meet the strongest attacks coming at him, leaving the weaker attacks, or those weakened by the "sword formation," to the Kong Household army behind him.
Beside him, his uncle Kong Yushuo also pushed his "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" Law Treasure to its limit, transforming it into a "Sword Light Sea of Fire" amidst rolling thunder, actively countering the various attacks blasted out from "Spirit Taming Pass".
Behind them, members of the Kong Household were either piloting flying boats or forming battle formations, sword formations, and talisman formations. There were also the Peacock Dao Soldiers and a group of servant cultivator Lineage, all forming their own formations and struggling to resist the weaker attacks that they had selected and overlooked.
However, Kong Wenxuan and his uncle Kong Yushuo were only Fourth Tier Golden Core True Person. In such a battlefield, they could only be considered as mid-level combatants, and could only withstand some mid- to medium-level attacks and techniques launched from the "Spirit Taming Pass".
Ahead of them were the Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transformation Gods of the Bi Household and Huo Household, the truly top-tier beings on this battlefield, along with battle formations, Void Boat, and chariots, helping them and most of the cultivators and teams from the two prefectures to withstand most of the strongest and highest-level attacks and threats blasted out from "Spirit Taming Pass".
Even so, as the Demon Race at Spirit Taming Pass intensified their attacks, the armies of the two prefectures found it increasingly difficult to resist.
Gradually, they lost the ability to launch a counterattack against "Spirit Taming Pass"Spirit Taming Pass and could only defend against its attacks with all their might.
Then, as the attacks from the Demon Race in the "Spirit Taming Pass" continued to intensify and increase, the all-out defense and resistance of the cultivator teams in the two prefectures gradually became unbearable. One after another, the defenses were breached and the lines were destroyed by the attacks from the "Spirit Taming Pass," and a large number of cultivators were severely injured or even killed on the spot.
Deaths, injuries, sacrifices, and falls began to occur one after another in the armies of the two prefectures, and the number of deaths increased.
Screams, cries of pain, and roars began to echo throughout the battlefield.

Amidst the deafening explosion, uncontrolled Spiritual Qi and bloodlines erupted, creating a Spiritual Qi energy storm on the battlefield—a phenomenon caused by the fall of Golden Core True Person cultivator from one of the two prefectures!
Kong Wenxuan was suddenly shocked. When they first entered the "Spirit Taming Pass Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and faced the direct attack of a large number of Demon Race and Demon Beast in the "Golden Core Control Pass", none of the True Person from the three prefectures had fallen. However, he did not expect that now, the great battle to counterattack the "Spirit Taming Pass" had just begun and Golden Core True Person had already been killed!
This couldn't help but alarm him.
Because he needed to focus all his attention on dealing with and resisting the constant attacks from the "Spirit Taming Pass," he had no energy left to see how the Golden Core True Person had perished.
With just a quick scan of his Spiritual Consciousness, he knew that the one who had fallen was Golden Core True Person from a "Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage" in Huodou Commandery whom he was not very familiar with. In his estimation, he must have encountered Fifth Tier- or even Sixth Tier attack that he could not withstand while resisting the various attacks and bombardments of "Spirit Taming Pass Control Pass".
After all, even with the Nascent Soul True Lord, Spirit Transformation Monarchs, Void Boat, and Battle Formations of the Bi Household and Huo Household blocking the way, it's impossible to say that they can completely block all the Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier attacks in the "Spirit Taming Pass" without any fish escaping.
Even if Kong Wenxuan himself were to fully activate the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," he wouldn't dare say that he could definitely withstand all the Fourth Tier attacks and techniques aimed at his Kong Household army. There was no guarantee that some would slip through the "sword formation" he was activating and attack the Kong Household army, Dao soldiers, and servant Lineage behind him.
Such escapees are often difficult for the cultivators and disciples behind them to resist, causing many deaths and injuries.
The same applies to the Kong Household family members, the Puxiu Lineage's ranks, the Peacock Dao Soldiers army, and so on. The same applies to the Golden Core True Person like Kong Wenxuan who hid behind the True Lord and Divine Lords of the Bi Household Huo Household.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Golden Core True Person cultivator of the "Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage" in Huodou Commandery perished in the disaster, nor is it the end, but only the beginning.
With the fall of the first Golden Core True Person, more and more of the defenses of the two prefectures were breached and broken through, resulting in increasing casualties and deaths.
After all, the attacks launched from "Spirit Taming Pass" are becoming more and more numerous and stronger, while the defenses and defensive capabilities of the two prefectures' armies cannot keep increasing. Instead, the constant deaths and injuries will cause the defenses and defensive capabilities to decline and collapse, just like a chain reaction.
In particular, the fall of a Golden Core True Person can trigger a chain reaction, causing a massive and interconnected collapse of defenses, with a profound impact, much like the starting point of an avalanche.
Therefore, after the Golden Core True Person in "Huodou Commandery" perished, the number of deaths and injuries among cultivators in both counties began to increase, and it was only natural that Golden Core True Person would also begin to perish from time to time.
It must be said that some "True Spirit Lineage" and servant Lineage made a wrong judgment and choice by joining the battlefield during this rotation after seeing that the army of the three prefectures had initially gained a foothold.
They probably didn't expect that the battle to attack "Spirit Taming Pass" would result in more casualties and losses than the previous battles to enter the territory and establish a foothold.
However, Kong Wenxuan soon had no time to think about these things. As the casualties of the two counties' armies increased, the attacks assigned to him became more numerous and stronger. He had to concentrate all his mind and strength to fully activate the "sword formation" to resist and defend against the attacks of "Spirit Taming Pass" and save his own life, as well as the lives and safety of most of the soldiers in the Peacock County army behind him.
