Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1055: Chapter 643: Magical Duel_2

But unexpectedly…

“Boom!!!”

A deafening roar shook all directions, as the protective riverbank burst, and the waters surged forth violently.

Though called a moat, it resembled a vast gulf between rivers and seas. The breached waters roared and surged into the plains, quickly submerging the battlefield.

Shang Yinyang came riding on dark clouds, followed closely by a million Ghost Soldiers. The rushing waters scattered them in an instant. The zombies and skeletons walking on the ground, along with wandering spirits and evil ghosts, were all submerged, leaving only some flying ghost soldiers and a hundred thousand Yin Yang Demon Soldiers spared from disaster.

Not only that, amidst the raging torrent, soldiers emerged, all formed from shrimps and crabs, with fish and clams achieving spiritual enlightenment. They cast spells in the water, intensifying the fury of the waves and further destroying the underworld souls with augmented Spirit Light.

It was the Chi Dragon Taoist Soldier!

“Which coward dares to ambush me?”

As Shang Yinyang looked at the heavily damaged ranks of the Five Ghosts Yin Soldiers and the river-rampaging Chi Dragon Taoist Soldiers, he was both shocked and angry. He immediately grabbed a White Bone Plum Blossom Hammer and furiously smashed it down, fueling it with Mana.

With one incantation and one smash, five Skull Demon Heads howled forth, spraying Demon Flame Poison Fire at the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals emerging in the river.

It was Shang Yinyang’s lifebound Magical Treasure, a White Bone Heart Lock Hammer trained to the third tier of the Demon Spirit level!

As the hammer was deployed, five Skull Demon Heads appeared, all leaders among those of the Taoist Path, holding the Life Souls of cultivators as fuel to ignite the flames that were neither Yin nor Yang, neither alive nor dead, spewing them into the river, twisting the void and vaporizing the water.

But that was not all; behind Shang Yinyang, there were also a hundred thousand Yin Yang Demon Soldiers.

A hundred thousand Yin Yang Demon Soldiers followed him in deploying the standard White Bone Heart Lock Hammer, instantly releasing thousands of Skull Demon Heads that howled in the void, converging into a giant skull overhead and spewing mountain-burning, sea-boiling Demon Fire Poison Flames onto the Chi Dragon Taoist Soldiers in the river.

Just then…

“Ao!!!”

A dragon’s roar, shocking in all directions, as the dark clouds spread and a heavy rain suddenly poured down, with lightning flashing and thunder booming. The furious rain poured down like arrows, with thunderbolts striking swiftly, pelting upon the White Bone Skulls, instantly turning the demon fire into steam and the poison flame into smoke. How many Yin Yang Demon Soldiers were pierced through the heart by the rain arrows and annihilated by the lightning bolts?

“Three Mie True Water?!”

Shang Yinyang’s pupils contracted in shock and anger as he looked up and saw a dragon shape turning in the sky, accompanied by the Electric Flood Dragon that mastered the Cloud Cover and Rain, managing the thunder to slaughter his Yin Yang Demon Soldiers.

The Yin Yang Demon Soldiers suffered heavy casualties in a blink, and Shang Yinyang, in his shock and anger, lifted the White Bone Heart Lock Hammer and struck the sky, trying to break the enemy’s spell.

“Ao!!!”

But another roar resounded as the Chi Dragon twirled its body, transforming into a delicate young girl holding a Dragon Lance, spinning sharply down. Instantly, lightning flowed with the rain, the rain rode the wind, the wind followed the dragon, and the dragon escorted the lance, which spun rapidly into a tornado.

The wind, rain, thunder, and lightning twirled down, fiercely piercing through the Demon Flame Poison Fire, striking right in front of Shang Yinyang.

“Bang!!!”

As the two forces collided, the Dragon Lance clashed with the hammer, causing a resounding explosion that rolled out shockwaves in all directions.

Within these shockwaves, the Ghost King was forced back, stumbling several steps before stopping.

Looking at his opponent, the Chi Dragon also retreated but stood resolutely.

Comparing the two, the superiority was instantly apparent!

“Chi Dragon!”

Shang Yinyang steadied himself, staring at Ao Chi ahead with a mix of shock and anger in his eyes, aghast inside.

Even amongst mythical beings, there were levels and distinctions—divided into upper, middle, and lower tiers.

Though he was not of the lowest rank, nor was he top-tier, relying on his Demon Spirit-tier White Bone Heart Lock Hammer and techniques like Yin Yang Boundaryless, he barely ranked among the upper tier.

But now, with Yin Yang Boundaryless broken, the timing and environment favoring the enemy, he, in a disadvantaged position, had fallen to the middle tier.

The Chi Dragon before him, though lacking an Immortal Spirit Treasure, was close to the Immortal Spirit beings, a top-tier among upper-tier Mythical Heroes. Now, with the advantage of timing and environment and blessed by the Great Sacrificial Ceremony, was nearly considered half an Immortal Spirit.

Even with his White Bone Heart Lock Hammer, facing such a formidable foe, he could only barely manage a fight.

What to do?

Shang Yinyang did not know, and Ao Chi did not give him much time, thrusting again with the Dragon Lance.

Above and below, in water and clouds, the Chi Dragon Taoist Soldiers also moved in coordination, entangling the Yin Yang Demon Soldiers with the Dragon Monarch.

The battle for the eastern city was complex and tightly contested.

Looking at the other three directions, equally intense and gruesome battles were unfolding.

Hua Mulan led her heroic female guards to hold the position on the city walls, with thunderbolt bowstring shocks, and thunderbolt arrow rain, in coordination with the Thunder Tower Fire Tower, crossbow cannons, stone bullets, and various mechanisms and formations, fiercely battling and wearing down the enemy.

This time, the Demon Abyss poured forth its strength, with hundreds of lords and millions of troops, all formidable adversaries. Despite having the advantages of time and terrain, and continuous firing from the city’s defense mechanisms, it was extremely difficult to stop the enemy’s offense.

Soon, more than ten legendary heroes, leading several elite Demon Abyss units, broke through the thunderbolt arrow rain and reached the top of the city walls to begin the most intense battle for control.

Thus was the situation for Hua Mulan, and others had little reason for optimism. All of Yellow Sky City had just over forty legendary heroes and more than sixty epic heroes visible on the surface. The total military force amounted to just over five million, with the majority being cannon fodder and only a small portion as elite troops, inadequate against an army of millions.

Although they could barely maintain their position with the advantage of terrain, defensive weaponry, and mechanical formations, a prolonged battle would inevitably end in defeat.

Thus…

Below the high heavens, battles raged on all sides.

Above the high heavens, three powers contended.

Old Man Shipi led the army, a hundred thousand demon troops moving as one, wielding the Asura Blade forcefully to cleave through the Mingxiao Thunder Clouds.

A swift and decisive battle, with no reservations, and dare not hold back.

“Boom!!!”

But the thunder roared, and lightning flashed quickly, like a Heavenly Sword emerging, colliding with the blade force and fighting to a draw.

“Hmph!”

Old Man Shipi snorted coldly, unsurprised by the outcome, immediately channeling the Asura Demon Essence, his silhouette split into shadows, creating nine avatars each wielding a Demon Blade, leading ten thousand demon soldiers each, initiating another attack from all directions.

Nine Yin Primordial Demons, Asura Killing Skill—Decimate from All Directions!

“Boom!!!”

The Asura Killing Skill, ten blades furiously slashing, fell into the accumulating clouds, causing blood to spray, with multiple Taoists killed or injured.

Although there were thunderous counterattacks, lightning moved like dragons, also shaking all directions, causing numerous Asura Demon Soldiers to be reduced to ashes, and even blackening the Asura Blade edges, but Old Man Shipi paid no heed, once again launching a strong offensive.

Wound for wound, life for life!

This was his most frequently used battle method, and also the one he was best at.

After all, he possessed the Asura Undying Body, and his subordinate Asura Demon Soldiers also shared this effect with astonishing recovery speed. As long as they weren’t instantly reduced to ashes, regardless of how severe the injuries, they could quickly recover, growing stronger and fiercer as the battle dragged on, fearing nothing more than a bloody and exhausting fight with the enemy.

Continuing this lethal battle, his Asura Demon Soldiers indeed suffered heavy casualties, one in ten surviving, but the enemy would be completely annihilated, with no chance of survival.

However…

Just as the Asura Blade force rose, within the thunder, a hundred thousand Taoists worked together, urgently propelling a divine decree.

“Nine Heavens Responsive Mansion, Supreme Jade Pure King.”

“Transformation fills all directions, discussing Taoism atop nine phoenixes.”

“Commanding the Five Thunder Law, orchestrating the affairs of the Three Realms.”

“With a heart of great saintliness and great mercy, the path of the Supreme Sovereign.”

“Disciples respectfully request…”

“Boom!!!”

With the divine decree and heavenly order, amidst violent winds and torrential rain, and within the flashes of lightning and thunder, an ethereal figure appeared, disheveled, with a third eye on his forehead, showing an expression of mighty anger, straddling a Mystic Water Ink Qilin, holding a Ruyi in one hand and a Golden Whip in the other, his illusory body unstable yet possessing boundless authority.

It was none other than Taoist Thunder Ancestor, Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable!

As the Thunder Ancestor appeared, the Heavenly Venerable arrived, wielding the Golden Whip, which transformed into a Thunder Whip with a swift pull, striking heavily towards the essence of Old Man Shipi.

“!!!!!!!!”

Old Man Shipi’s pupils constricted, a strong alarm rising in his heart. Without a second thought, he used a secret technique, immediately switching places with the surrounding Nine Yin Primordial Demons.

“Boom!!!”

As the main body switched places, a tremendous noise erupted as the thunder roared around them, the relocated Nine Yin Primordial Demon breaking into pieces and dissipating as ashes, with the Asura Demon Soldiers fortunate to escape, ten thousand demon soldiers instantly killed eight thousand, the rest also charred, unable to withstand the might of the Thunder Ancestor’s whip.

Even the army behind the demon army, led by Jiu Panpo and her Red Body Sect Followers, was impacted.

She was accumulating a powerful Demon Path technique, but unexpectedly, the Old Man Shipi in front blocking her was instantly reduced to ash. A continued strike of the Thunder Gold Whip, unrelenting, swept towards her, and she was enveloped in thunder before she could react.
