The Fighting at North Sea Gate Subsided

"News has come from the south: Tianji Island has fallen, all the Nascent Soul of the Tianji Pavilion have perished in battle, and only a few Golden Core Stage experts have escaped."

"Venerable Tianji Sea, slaying three fourth-tier Demon Beast!"

"Fellow Daoists, the entire Luo Heaven Sea is currently in turmoil. Demon Beast are ravaging our human race, creating a death zone. We cannot simply stand by and watch. Is there anyone willing to join us in providing support?"

Listening to the words of some cultivators, Shen Ge sat on the roof of a building without any regard for his image.

He stopped listening to the cultivators and quietly observed the entire Yaoguang Island.

With war raging everywhere and casualties rising daily, he didn't want to think about it, he really didn't want to think about it.

While cold, hard numbers are just numbers, the brutal and bloody events behind them are enough to horrify anyone.

Afterwards, many cultivators left, led by five Golden Core cultivators, to provide support in the Tianxuan Sea.

At the North Sea Gate of the Tianquan Sea Area, Venerable Tianquan and Venerable Jihai looked rather grim as the small, dilapidated ship drew ever closer, and they no longer even wanted to deal with the Demon Beast.

The Demon Beast opposite also noticed the anomaly, but since none of the people moved, they wouldn't go looking for trouble.

Besides, their mission was just to hold this side off; they didn't expect to kill many people.

"What is this thing? It feels so eerie, especially that black mist. It has an inexplicable evil aura about it." The Five Colors, now in human form, frowned and murmured softly. Soon, the three of them retreated a distance.

Anyway, whatever it is, if there's danger, just run.

Soon, the wrecked ship reached the edge of the battlefield. At this moment, the previously calm ship suddenly erupted with a black mist. Whether cultivators or Demon Beast, all those who came into contact with this black mist turned into withered bones, as if all their life force had been plundered.

Moreover, this black mist is spreading rapidly, expanding to a range of fifty miles in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Five Colors and the other two all changed their expressions and turned to run away without the slightest hesitation.

They've realized they can't handle this thing. Not only can they not handle it, they don't even have the guts to test it.

"What should we do? Should we try to stop them?" Venerable Jihai asked Venerable Tianquan.

Although he was the strongest present, this was, after all, their Tianquan Sect's territory, and he couldn't overstep his bounds.

Well, actually, it's because Venerable Tianquan and the others have Spirit Treasure while he doesn't, that's why he acted this way.

"Stop them?" Venerable Tianquan said coldly, "What do you mean, 'stop them'? Who dares to stop them?"

"The Tianxuan Sect was split in two, and look, who went up to stop it?"

"Forget it, let her go. Anyway, everyone who could run has already run away, so it doesn't matter whether we stop her or not."

"Indeed." Venerable Jihai smiled, then looked down at the vast sea of blood and sighed, "I'm afraid it will take at least five hundred years to restore its former glory."

"They're nothing but cannon fodder." Venerable Tianquan sneered, his tone icy. "As long as our Tianquan Sect still exists, these minor cultivators are just insignificant supporting characters anyway."

"Green leaves are green leaves, but without them to set the scene, it wouldn't look lively at all."

Watching the wrecked ship smash another hole in the great formation, Venerable Tianquan's face darkened even more, but he dared not do anything except snort coldly, not even daring to curse.

Looking at the dried corpses scattered across the sea, the Venerable Jihai smiled and said, "It's almost over. You'll be in charge of sealing the breach from now on. The fighting in the south is really too intense; I need to go help."

Venerable Tianquan nodded and said, "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Jihai this time. After this matter is completely over, come to my sect, and we'll drink until we drop."

"Of course, of course." Venerable Jihai smiled. "The real priority is to stabilize the current situation in the Luo Heaven Sea."

After the group finished off the remaining lesser demons, Venerable Jihai left and headed towards the Tianxuan Sea.

Although he also wanted more people from the major sects to die, they were all in the same boat now, and if too many of them died, he wouldn't be any better off. So he still had to put in the effort to provide support where necessary.

At the Tianxuan Sea battlefield, the Nascent Soul Realm haven't started fighting yet; only those below are battling, and the situation hasn't escalated too much.

Although the human race had gathered seven Nascent Soul Realm experts and three Spirit Treasure, they didn't have much confidence in facing the three fourth-tier Demon Beast on the other side.

Especially the Eagle King and the Blood Shark King; even with Spirit Treasure, they might not be able to kill them.

The only function of Spirit Treasure now is as a deterrent. The Stars Painting Scroll in Yaoguang's hand can still be used once, the Xuan Star Sword in Venerable Tianxuan's hand can still be used once, and the Medicine Immortal Cauldron of the Tianshu Sect can still be used twice. However, the Medicine Immortal Cauldron is used for refining pills and its attack power is very weak, only slightly stronger than their own Law Treasure.

In this situation, if they fail to achieve the expected results after using their Spirit Treasure, those two fourth-tier perfected Demon Beast could easily break through this place.

This is no exaggeration. The strongest among the seven of them is Venerable Kaiyang, Nascent Soul Late Stage stage, and he is injured. Once the threat of the Spirit Treasure is gone, they really can't defeat the other side.

"What should we do? They still don't want to retreat?" A Nascent Soul Early Stage from the Tianshu Sect, who had just arrived, transmitted his voice to all the Nascent Soul experts present.

The Venerable Tianxuan, who had returned halfway, remained unmoved, but An Hong said fiercely, "Everyone, how about we fight? These Demon Beast are going too far; I can't tolerate it anymore."

"With our three Spirit Treasure and so many fellow cultivators, are we afraid of those three?"

"Moreover, and most importantly, they don't know the power of our Spirit Treasure, nor how Spirit Treasure we have. Perhaps we can catch them off guard."

The strongest being at present, Venerable Kaiyang, coughed and transmitted his voice, saying, "That's true, and the success rate of this operation is quite high, but don't forget, once these Spirit Treasure are used, we must kill those two. We absolutely cannot leave any future troubles. Otherwise, what's the point if they come back with a vengeance after we've lost the Spirit Treasure?"

"Therefore, I suggest we avoid using this Spirit Treasure if possible, and instead see if we can negotiate."

"Fellow Daoists, I believe you have all lived long enough to make the wrong decision based on a moment of anger. We have lived a carefree life for so long, so it's fine if we die. But don't forget, there are still no fewer than fifty million mortals in this entire Luo Heaven Sea!"

"They are the future of the entire Luo Heaven Sea!"

After speaking, Venerable Kaiyang coughed a few more times, clearly indicating that his previous injuries had not fully healed.

Venerable Yaoguang nodded slightly, then glanced at his Jixing brother Jixing beside him. Jixing immediately understood and stepped forward, speaking to the Eagle King and Blood Shark King in the distance, "What will it take for you to retreat?"

His voice carried a spiritual power, resounding throughout the entire sea.

In the far distance, the Eagle King smiled calmly, the wrinkles on his aged face trembling slightly. "To be honest, I don't really want to retreat. I just want to test whether you can kill me."

Hearing these somewhat rogue-like words, Yaoguang and the others laughed in anger. Venerable Tianxuan said coldly, "If you want to die, then come over here! Why are you hiding so far away!"

After saying that, he took out the Spirit Treasure Xuan Star Sword that he was carrying, looking as if he was about to make a move.

Eagle King remained calm and collected, but secretly, he was ready to run away at any moment, not outwards, but rather to circle around them in the Inner Sea.

Blood Shark King, on the other hand, remained unchanged, even sporting a mocking expression on his face.

"What should we do? Those two are completely unresponsive," Venerable Tianxuan transmitted angrily, clearly already quite angry.

"It seems they won't admit defeat until they see the coffin; they're determined to use up all the uses of our Spirit Treasure." A Nascent Soul from the Tianshu Sect sighed. Now, they were hesitant to fight, and negotiations had failed, leaving them in a dilemma.

This feeling was extremely unpleasant, and in his anger, he unleashed an attack that created a gap of several tens of miles in the horde of Demon Beast below. There was no blood, only wisps of dissipating dust.

Yaoguang then transmitted a reminder: "Everyone, don't forget, the situation with the Tianshu Sect has probably been resolved by now, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Perhaps we should stall for a while and wait for them to arrive before making any further decisions?"

"Yaoguang Yaoguang's suggestion is feasible," Venerable Kaiyang transmitted his voice. "There is another Spirit Treasure on Tianshu's side, the Tianshu Mirror, which is good at trapping enemies. When combined with your Stars Painting Scroll, Yaoguang, we might be able to annihilate them all. In that case, our Luo Heaven Sea will be safe for at least a thousand years."

On the other side, the Eagle King suddenly frowned, but he quickly returned to normal. Then he glanced thoughtfully at the group of humans in the distance.

Before they could say anything, Kaiyang and the others simultaneously launched an attack that landed on the Demon Beast horde below. With the seven Nascent Soul attacking at the same time, they instantly decimated the Demon Beast horde below, leaving less than one-tenth alive.

However, this time they acted with restraint; basically, the Demon Beast died, but all the valuable parts of their bodies were preserved.

After all, the entire cultivation Immortal Realm of the Luo Heaven Sea was severely weakened after this war, and these things were needed to quickly replenish their strength.

Blood Shark King stirred, intending to retaliate in kind, but in the end he didn't dare to go up.

They're just some minor demons whose intelligence isn't fully developed. It's not worth the trouble. These minor demons keep appearing in this sea like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

"You old bastards, it's just the three of you left. Do you really want to fight us to the death?" Yaoguang took out the Stars Painting Scroll she was carrying, unfolded it, and threatened.

Blood Shark King was about to say something, but Eagle King interrupted him, saying, "Old man, I'll say it again: try using your Spirit Treasure. You think you can make me leave without showing some skill? That's not fair."

Seeing this, Blood Shark King didn't want to embarrass Eagle King, so he simply stopped talking.

Moreover, he agreed with the Eagle King's idea of depleting the opponent's Spirit Treasure, since without the support of the Spirit Treasure, their Demon Beast side was strong enough to slaughter the entire Luo Heaven Sea.

Of course, they would never allow the human race to die out, much less allow the human race's cultivation lineage to be severed. After all, as the Eagle King said, they were all trapped in this small world. If they lost the human race as a source of enjoyment, how boring would it be?

However, having fun is a matter for later. Besides, if we don't use up the Spirit Treasure that pose a threat to them, we'll have to be timid and hesitant when it comes to having fun in the future, which is quite unpleasant.

Eagle King glanced at Blood Shark King beside him and transmitted his voice, "Act according to the situation later. If you have the chance, it would be best to kill one or two more."

"Don't worry, I know what to do, but it depends on the opportunity. I won't risk my life if there isn't one," Blood Shark King nodded in response.

They both turned to look at the large tortoise below.

The simultaneous gazes of two peak fourth-tier experts made the Hegemon Turtle somewhat uneasy, so he immediately asked, "Eagle King, Blood Shark King, is there anything you need?"

Eagle King frowned, then relaxed. "You should leave here first. With your cumbersome body, if a fight really breaks out, you'll just be delivering materials to them."

Blood Shark King nodded and said, "That's right, you can leave now, Big Turtle. Actually, I do acknowledge your strength, but your escape speed is really slow, and you're injured, so it's not suitable for you to stay."

Despite being looked down upon, the Hegemon Turtle replied with a smile, "In that case, I'll head back. But you two kings, you should be careful; after all, the Spirit Treasure of those humans are indeed very powerful." With that, the Hegemon Turtle turned and headed back the way it came.

"The big tortoise is gone. Should we give it a try? Now it's just the two of them. We should be able to kill them," Venerable Tianxuan asked urgently via telepathy.

Venerable Tianxuan was in a hurry for a reason. After all, their Tianxuan Sea was right behind them. He couldn't sit still if he didn't quickly kill the two threats on the other side.

"No rush, let's wait for Tianshu. It'll be safer with them here," Venerable Kaiyang said, "Those two are clearly trying to deplete our Spirit Treasure."

"Furthermore, if we can't quickly kill them both after we make our move, and if the Eagle King rushes in and starts a massacre, who among us can stop him?"

"If they don't move, we won't move either. It's all about one word: stall!"

In the distance, Blood Shark King frowned and said to Eagle King, "If this drags on any longer, the situation will turn against us."

"Old bird, you're fast, why don't you go scout it out?"

Eagle King tilted his head back and drank the last cup of spiritual wine, then slowly rose and said, "Let's probe then, Old Fish, you'd better watch your chance."

"Be on guard! That old rascal is about to make his move. He's incredibly fast, so be extremely careful, or you'll easily fall into his trap." Yaoguang had witnessed the old rascal's strength firsthand, so she warned him.

Instantly, the seven of them were on high alert, attacking and defending as one. Tianxuan and Yaoguang's Spirit Treasure were even more eager to be used, as if they were looking forward to it.

Just as a collision was about to erupt, the Eagle King headed straight for the lesser cultivators behind them.

"Eagle King, you feathered beast, how dare you!"

Tianxuan roared, and the Xuan Star Sword in his hand immediately unleashed a terrifying Sword Qi.
