No Rest Until Death!
"The Life-Burning Technique!"
Shan Yue's expression changed drastically. "Burning life force to gain combat power! Seizing the life force of all living beings in heaven and earth and using it for their own purposes—truly vicious!"
Before the words were even finished, more than twenty Spirit Transformation Spirit Race simultaneously unleashed their power.
Each one's aura had risen to a slightly higher level; those in the Early Spirit Transformation possessed mid-stage combat power, those in the mid-stage possessed late-stage combat power, and those in the Late Spirit Transformation were infinitely close to perfection.
For a time, the overall combat strength of the Spirit Race's God-level Spirit Transformation firmly surpassed that of the Giant Bear Clan.
Cang Wuji's expression was solemn, the Bone-Splitting Axe held horizontally in front of him. "These madmen, just how much life force have they stolen from all living beings!"
Shi Jian took a deep breath, and the three Immortal Foundation within his body began to operate wildly. At this moment, the nascent form of the Righteous Yang Lightning showed faint signs of breaking through.
In the midst of a life-or-death struggle, his understanding of the Great Dao accelerated its solidification.
The two sides clashed again, this time without pursuit, only a bloody battle.
The vine whip clashed with the giant axe, the thunder spear clashed with the rotten blade, the Earth Dao mountain peak crushed the sea of Life Dao vines, Barbarian Bone Dao aura strangled the vitality of life.
The sky, spanning tens of millions of miles, was dyed with a mixture of emerald green and pale white. Dark cracks were revealed where the void shattered, and the marsh water was evaporated into mist by the residual waves of the Daoist energy.
The Middle Spirit Transformation who cultivated the Barbarian Bone Dao fought fiercely against two late-stage Nascent Spirit Race Late Spirit Transformation had burned their life force. The Barbarian Bone Dao essence condensed into bone armor to protect his body, and every punch he threw could shatter large areas of vines.
However, the two Spirit Race Nascent Spirit Race Spirit Transformation, after burning their life force, experienced a surge in combat power. Their corrosive power and life-stealing abilities pressed down simultaneously, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
A vine whip lashed across his left arm, shattering his bone armor and tearing open a deep wound that exposed bone. A surge of vital energy was continuously drained from him, shortening his lifespan!
The Nascent Spirit Transformation who Dao of Strength strength was in grave danger, surrounded by five Nascent Early Spirit Transformation after burning their life force. Although he was enormous and incredibly strong, he couldn't withstand their sheer number of opponents.
Before he knew it, the corrosive longsword slashed his shoulder, and the purple qi invaded his body, causing his flesh to rot rapidly.
Seeing his fellow cultivators being injured one after another, the Earth Dao aura around Shan Yue surged to its limit.
"Fellow Daoists, retreat immediately to the area surrounding the fortress!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he struck out with his palm, and the illusory image of a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain crushed down, repelling the attacking Spirit Transformation Nascent Spirit Race and buying his own cultivators a chance to catch their breath.
Cang Wuji unleashed three consecutive blows with his Bone-Splitting Axe, forcing back the enemy in front of him, and then retreated rapidly to the edge of the city gate.
Shi Jian also did not linger in battle. He used his Lightning-Manifested Arm to condense a lightning curtain to protect himself, and his figure transformed into a purple-gold stream of light as he rushed towards the pass.
The other giant bear Nascent Spirit Transformation retreated, but the Spirit Race turned the tables, with all the Nascent Spirit Transformation holding on tightly.
A late-stage Nascent Spirit Race Late Spirit Transformation, igniting his life force, unleashed a burst of emerald light, transforming into a ten-thousand-mile-long vine dragon that hurtled towards the retreating Giant Bear Spirit Transformation.
Shan Yue snorted coldly, his 50,000-foot-tall giant bear body standing above the fortress, his Earth Dao aura forming a barrier around him.
The vine dragon crashed onto the barrier, the Earth Dao energy colliding with the Life Dao energy, the aftershocks cracking the void within a million miles.
The barrier trembled but did not shatter, blocking the entire attack.
At the same time, twenty bone warships on the walls of Barbarian Bone Pass simultaneously changed direction, and a pale light rapidly condensed in the eye sockets of the giant beast skulls on the bone prows.
Dozens of Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator simultaneously activated their Daoist principles, causing the talisman array to boom.
In the next instant, twenty ghastly white beams of light shot out simultaneously!
A beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, enveloping the pursuing Spirit Race Spirit Transformation.
Although the Spirit Race cultivators who had burned their life force experienced a surge in combat power, they still dared not confront the combined might of the warships firing at them.
They all urged their Life Dao force to condense into vine shields to protect themselves, but the Barbarian Bone Dao aura specifically countered life force, and the vine shields were as fragile as paper under the pillar of light.
The three Nascent Soul Early Spirit Transformation and were struck by the beam of light. Their protective Daoist aura shattered instantly, and their flesh and blood were charred black.
One of them was even pierced through the chest on the spot.
His soul was shattered by the Barbarian Bone Dao energy, and his body fell from mid-air.
The warships followed with a second salvo, forcing the Spirit Race's Spirit Race Spirit Transformation to temporarily halt their offensive and focus entirely on defense.
Taking advantage of this opening, all the Spirit Transformation of the Giant Bear Clan retreated back to the city's perimeter.
The Shan Yue stood at the forefront, its Earth Dao aura radiating outwards, its Four-Foundation Perfection Daoist power encompassing tens of millions of miles:
"Using the fortified city walls and the strength of our warships, we will engage them in a war of attrition."
"Don't push too hard, lest you become desperate and do something rash."
Beneath the city walls, more than ten fourth-order Spirit Vein hummed simultaneously, their Spiritual Qi gushing into the city wall's rune array like a spring; the Barbarian Bone Dao essence of barbarians seeped from the walls, condensing into an even thicker protective shield above the city walls.
Upon seeing this, a ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Late Spirit Transformation Nascent Spirit Race Spirit Transformation who had just burned his life force.
"Since we've retreated to the fortress, let's attack it!"
More than twenty Spirit Race Spirit Transformation simultaneously activated their Life Dao auras, unleashing a boundless and overwhelming force that pressed down upon Barbarian Bone Pass.
Vines burst forth from the void, each as thick as a mountain, growing wildly and twisting towards the fortress; corrosive poisonous mist spread out, attempting to erode the city walls; the power of life-stripping enveloped all directions, trying to drain the Spiritual Qi and vitality from within the fortress.
However, the Barbarian Bone Dao restrains the Life Dao; the vines withered quickly upon touching the protective barrier, and the corrosive poisonous mist was also kept out.
The warships unleashed a barrage of fire, the pale beams of light shattering all the incoming attacks from the Life Dao.
The two sides reached a stalemate.
The Spirit Race's Spirit Transformation launched a fierce offensive, but the city's defenses and warships suppressed them, preventing them from breaking through the defensive lines. They were forced to fight and retreat.
Although the Giant Bear Clan had the advantage of terrain, many of their Nascent Spirit Transformation were injured, resulting in a significant loss of combat strength.
Shi Jian stood atop the city wall, his three Immortal Foundation slowly circulating within him, and the nascent form of the Righteous Yang Lightning had already solidified considerably.
He could clearly sense that after a few more life-or-death battles, the third Immortal Foundation would be completely formed.
If one can advance to the Late Spirit Transformation and achieve Three-Foundation Perfection, one's combat power will undoubtedly reach a new level.
Cang Wuji, carrying the Bone-Splitting Axe, walked to his side, a joking expression on his face. "These Spirit Race are crazy, daring to launch a full-scale attack using the Burning Life Force."
"Those bastards, they're really willing to spend money like that."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than several streaks of light shot through the southern sky.
It's the Spirit Race reinforcements again!
This time, eight Nascent Spirit Transformation arrived, with the leader being a Nascent Perfected Spirit Transformation at the peak of his cultivation, whose aura of life Life Dao was so dense that it was almost tangible.
Shan Yue's expression changed drastically, but before he could react, a similar aura erupted from the north.
Six figures rushed in from behind the Barbarian Bone Pass; they were all reinforcements from the Giant Bear Clan.
Leading the group was a Late Spirit Transformation, whose body was surging with Barbarian Bone Dao; he was another elder under the command of the Ancestor Egu.
The reinforcements from both sides arrived on the battlefield almost simultaneously, causing the total number of Spirit Transformation to surge instantly.
The number of Spirit Race Spirit Transformation has risen to over thirty, while the number of Giant Bear Spirit Transformation has reached over twenty, in addition to the Shan Yue God and the newly arrived Spirit Race.
Two Nascent Perfected Spirit Transformation, along with dozens more Nascent Spirit Transformation, and the sky within a radius of tens of millions of miles was enveloped by the power of the Dao.
This battle has escalated into a full-scale bloodbath at the Spirit Transformation level!
"This is truly a fight to the death."
