Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

As the Nine-Star Crossbow was unleashed, it grew to a size of a hundred feet. Cao Meng controlled the Nine-Star Crossbow to aim at the position of Crown Prince Yongzhen and absorb the power of the stars!
"Break, young master!"

As Cao Meng fired the cannon, the power of the stars transformed into crossbow bolts and shot out fiercely!
The crossbow bolts were so fierce, like a torrential downpour, that they could cut through gold and jade!
Five top-grade fifth-tier arrays were torn to shreds like pieces of paper, and Prince Yongzhen vanished into nothingness along with the city walls!
When Cao Meng previously described the Immortal Dynasty's protective formation as an eggshell, he was still praising the other party.

The ballista is a powerful siege weapon, and among spiritual weapons of the same rank, the ballista is the most powerful.

Even though the Nine-Star Crossbow is only a low-grade sixth-order spiritual weapon, it is still relatively easy for it to destroy a fifth-order top-grade defensive array!

"One shot, perfect!"

Seeing the imperial city fall, Cao Meng couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful. If he had known that the imperial city's defensive array was so weak, he wouldn't have used the Nine-Star Crossbow.

You must understand that those people, whether alive or dead, are all spirit stones!
Now, if we blast those people into nothingness with one shot, they won't be worth a single penny.

With the defensive array breached and the city walls destroyed, the Emperor Xianyou in the palace immediately sensed it and cursed angrily:
"That damned Cao Cao, he actually has such a siege weapon!"

Immediately afterward, Emperor Xianyou gave an order, and countless powerful figures from the Xianyou Dynasty flew out!
Of course, the term "strongest" only applies to the Immortal Dynasty.

At the same time, Lin Feng, the Grand General of the Immortal Dynasty, appeared on the battlefield with a million-strong army!
"Young warriors of Xianyou, today is the day to defend our homeland! Form ranks!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

At General Lin Feng's command, a million-strong army of cultivators lined up, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!
"Military formation!"

"Dragon and Tiger Twin Fiends Formation—Activate!"

General Lin Feng is a second-level Nascent Soul cultivator and a fifth-level military formation master.

Under his control, the spiritual power of a million cultivators converged into one.

"A fifth-tier military formation master, interesting!"

Cao Meng found General Lin Feng's performance quite interesting.

Although being a military formation master is a niche profession, there are still quite a few of them.

Most of the fifth-tier military formation masters in the Eastern Region Dao Continent are in the Po Jun Mansion, and there are very few fifth-tier military formation masters in the outside world!

The high-ranking members of the Po Jun Mansion are mostly military formation masters.

The founding ancestor of the Po Jun Mansion was rumored to be a general and a high-ranking military formation master.

This was Cao Meng's first encounter with a fifth-tier military formation master in the Nascent Soul stage, and his first battle against him.

He wanted to see just how powerful a fifth-tier military formation master could be, commanding an army of a million cultivators!
"The spirit of the army manifests, the spirit of the dragon, the spirit of the tiger!"

As General Lin Feng revealed his own magic, the power of the military formation condensed into a military spirit, and a black dragon and a white tiger manifested beside him.

"Kill the enemy!"

At General Lin Feng's command, the Black Dragon and White Tiger military spirits charged towards Cao Meng.

"I can do that too!"

Cao Meng snapped his fingers, and the true fire of the sun condensed into four hundred-foot-long fireballs.

Immediately, the four fireballs dissolved into one.

"Qiang Qiang!"

With a long cry, a three-legged divine bird hatched from its shell.

After the three-legged golden crow phantom appeared, it flapped its wings, and endless solar fire poured out.

With a single wing strike, the black dragon and white tiger's bodies dimmed.

"Pfft~"

The Black Dragon and White Tiger military spirits were injured, and the army in Lin Feng's formation also suffered a backlash.

Some of the weaker cultivators coughed up blood essence.

"burn!"

Cao Meng formed a hand seal, controlling the three-legged golden crow to spew true solar fire towards the black dragon and white tiger.

The true fire of the sun completely surrounded the black dragon and white tiger. The two military spirits of the black dragon and white tiger roared and howled, and their fierce spiritual power continued to overflow.

The Black Dragon and White Tiger launched an incredibly fierce attack, and it took them a great deal of effort to break out of the encirclement.

High above the battlefield, the three-legged golden crow, its feathers shimmering with golden light, exuded supreme divine power and majesty as it looked down upon the weakened black dragon and white tiger.

Although the Black Dragon and White Tiger are products of the military spirit condensed from the military formation, they are full of spirituality.

The black dragon and the white tiger sensed the powerful aura emanating from the three-legged golden crow. They took a few steps back, their faces filled with awe and pain.

Why would the Black Dragon and White Tiger, as the souls of the army, be afraid?
Just because they are the soul of the army, if Lin Feng, the commander-in-chief, and his million cultivators feel fear, the soul of the army will also feel fear.

Now that the Black Dragon and White Tiger are afraid, it is clear that Lin Feng and his million-strong army of cultivators are filled with fear.

The three-legged golden crow's eyes were like lightning, sharp and piercing. It gently flapped its wings, and instantly a burst of blazing solar fire erupted from its feathers.

This ball of true solar fire relentlessly surged towards the black dragon and the white tiger, burning everything in its path like a raging inferno.

Lin Feng knew that his million-strong army of cultivators was already filled with fear, so he immediately rebuked them:

"Young men of Xianyou, behind you are your country, your family and friends!"

"You are the pride of the dynasty, the invincible sword of the dynasty!"

Now, facing the enemy, you feel fear. How can you face your families and friends, how can you face the dynasty that stands behind you?

Despite Lin Feng's tough words, he was actually quite afraid!

But as the head coach, he couldn't show any fear.

Once his fear as commander-in-chief is revealed, the morale of the army will completely collapse, and the army formation will crumble without a fight!
"What is there to fear in a battle!"

"What is there to fear in a battle!"

"What is there to fear in a battle!"

Spurred on by their leader Lin Feng, the morale of the million cultivators of the Immortal Wandering Dynasty soared.

As the thought of facing death and dying on the battlefield arose in the hearts of millions of cultivators.

The two military spirits, Black Dragon and White Tiger, are no longer afraid.

Commander Lin Feng quickly used the military formation to control the two military spirits, the Black Dragon and the White Tiger, to kill the enemy.

The black dragon transformed into a black whirlwind, generating a powerful whirlwind force that swept towards the three-legged golden crow.

Meanwhile, the white tiger transformed into countless phantoms, launching attacks from all directions, its resounding roar echoing throughout the battlefield.

However, the three-legged golden crow was not afraid at all. Its body was as agile as a mountain peak, and its wings fluttered gracefully as it easily dodged the black dragon's whirlwind attack, as if it were a fish in water.

At the same time, it unleashed a mysterious and powerful fire magic, with bursts of blazing solar fire burning away the white tiger's illusion.

The black dragon and white tiger were overwhelmed by the powerful strength of the three-legged golden crow and felt terrified.

They launched their attacks with all their might, but still could not break through the defenses of the three-legged golden crow.

The three-legged golden crow was like a god descending from heaven, and no matter how fiercely the black dragon and white tiger attacked, it was to no avail.

In the end, under Cao Meng's control, the three-legged golden crow, with its absolute power, forced the black dragon and white tiger into a desperate situation. It spread its wings and soared into the sky, its body radiating divine light and overflowing with the true fire of the sun.

A dazzling golden light emanated from its wings, instantly illuminating the entire sky.

The black dragon and white tiger were finally unable to resist and were torn to pieces by the three-legged golden crow, turning into a swirling void.

Their power became insignificant in the face of the divine might of the three-legged golden crow.

This scene shocked all the cultivators of the Immortal Wandering Dynasty with the power of the three-legged golden crow phantom and Cao Meng's strength!

Cao Meng manipulated the phantom of the three-legged golden crow and, with his own strength, tore apart the black dragon and the white tiger.

They defeated Lin Feng, a second-level Nascent Soul cultivator and a fifth-tier military formation master, and defeated the military formation of a million cultivators!
Cao Meng didn't rush to attack. Looking at the million cultivators, he couldn't help but sneer:

"You fools, do you think you have your own dynasty behind you?"

In reality, this is the imperial dynasty, the dynasty of powerful clans!

Cao Meng ruthlessly exposed the cruel truth: the Immortal Dynasty never belonged to these ordinary cultivators.

Only during times of war do the Emperor of Xianyou and his nobles realize the importance of these ordinary cultivators!
Let these ordinary cultivators fight desperately and wear down the enemy.

As for the distribution of benefits, it was always the royal family and nobles who got to take it all, while these ordinary cultivators only received scraps that the royal family didn't want!
Just as the cultivator army was about to object, Cao Meng spoke first:

"Knowing that the powerful figures of the Immortal Wandering Dynasty don't strike first, why do you, the soldiers, instead of forming a battle formation to fight me?"

"What pride of a dynasty!"

"What imperial sword!"

"You're nothing but pitiful cannon fodder, pitiful cattle and horses?"

"These royalty and nobles are just trying to wear me down with their lives!"

Cao Meng ruthlessly exposed the truth, but what did the cruelty of the truth have to do with him?
We were just cannon fodder! We were cattle and horses!
At this moment, the million-strong army of cultivators felt despair!

They fought for the dynasty, believing themselves to be members of the dynasty, but they were like cattle and horses, not members of the dynasty at all.

No matter how good the dynasty becomes, they can't enjoy it because they are just cattle!
If the dynasty's situation worsens, their lives will become even worse.

For example, now that the Hehuan Sect has attacked, these cattle and horses have directly become cannon fodder!

Was it really worth it for them to go to the Immortal Dynasty?

"You've all come to your senses, now I'll help you escape your life as beasts of burden."

Looking at the cattle and horses, Cao Meng felt no sympathy whatsoever.

Animals that don't fight back don't deserve sympathy, especially since these animals just attacked me.

Since they've attacked me, they're my enemy and deserve to die!
"This is the auspicious time!"

Cao Meng calculated the time with his fingers. It was noon, the time of day when the sun's power was at its strongest.

Cao Meng is currently at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and his Ten-Day Sacred Body has reached the fourth level of the Yang stage.

He planned to test the power of the move he had created!
"The merciless sun!"

Cao Meng snapped his fingers, and the three-legged golden crow he had created soared into the heavens, its wings unfurling as true solar fire surged forth from its body.

"Qiang Qiang!"

The three-legged golden crow let out a long cry, absorbed the power of the sun, and transformed into a great sun.

The three-legged golden crow transformed into a great sun, which descended and bathed the battlefield in its radiance.

The sun's rays are warm!

The sun, which was transformed from the phantom of the three-legged golden crow, was different; it was excessively warm.

The warmth wants to scorch all living beings, the warmth transforms into the true fire of the sun, wanting to burn others to ashes, burning them to the point of annihilation!
The million-strong army of cattle and horses became the first target, and under the sunshine, the first feeling was warmth.

But after a few breaths, they felt their bodies burning hot.

Some lower-level cultivators, under the sun's rays, had their bodies decay and their essence ignite the true fire of the sun, instantly burning them to ashes.
As time passed, more and more of the ox-horse monks ignited with the true fire of the sun.

In less than a moment, the million-strong army of cattle and horse cultivators, except for their commander Lin Feng, who was at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, were all scorched to death, burned to death, and their bodies and souls were destroyed!
Millions of cattle and horse cultivators, the so-called elite army of the Immortal Wandering Dynasty, have all been burned to this state.

Not to mention the ordinary cultivators in the imperial city, the imperial city of the Immortal Wandering Dynasty was engulfed in flames and turned into a kingdom of fire in an instant!
Countless living beings were scorched and burned to death by the great sun that Cao Meng transformed into. This is the Golden Crow Burning the World and Melting All Living Beings!
"Jin Ning'er, why do I feel that Cao Meng, this human, is more like the Golden Crow race than you?"

Hongqi watched as Cao Meng manifested the Golden Crow Burning the World and said something to Jin Ning'er.

To be honest, Hongqi had some doubts. Cao Meng was a three-legged golden crow in human form. He was so cruel and tyrannical, just like the legendary three-legged golden crow!
"Humph!"

Jin Ning'er snorted coldly and ignored Hong Qi.

This Cao traitor is not a noble member of the Golden Crow clan; he merely possesses the power of the sun due to his physical constitution.

This traitor Cao named his move 'Ruthless Sun'. Does he even know how to name things? This is clearly Golden Crow Refining the World!
When I have time, I'll set fire to and burn down a few dynasties, so that this pink-haired fox will know what the real Golden Crow Refining the World is like.

"You traitor Cao, stop being so arrogant!"

Under Cao Meng's move 'Ruthless Sun' (Golden Crow Refining the World), the imperial city was turned into an apocalyptic sea of ​​fire.

The Immortal Emperor and the Royal Ancestor, both at the Nascent Soul stage, could no longer contain themselves.

The Emperor of Xianyou was at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, while the Imperial Ancestor was at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

The two of them led a group of cultivators at the half-step Nascent Soul stage and attacked Cao Meng.

General Lin Feng, wielding a large spear, revealed his Dharma form and charged towards Cao Meng.

"Pink-furred fox, Jin Ning'er, are you two here for a spring outing?"

Seeing that Hongqi and Jin Ning'er were just watching the show and had no intention of making a move, Cao Meng immediately scolded them.

It wasn't that Cao Meng was afraid of these people; even if all of them attacked, they wouldn't be able to break Cao Meng's physical body.

The reason he asked Hongqi and Jin Ning'er to take action was because it would be strange for their two mounts and pets to watch the show while he, the master, was fighting.

Who is the master and who is the mount?

"I was just worried you hadn't had enough fun, and I didn't want to spoil your enjoyment."

While Hong Qi was trying to argue, Jin Ning'er had already charged towards Emperor Xianyou and the royal patriarch!
That damned Cao Cao dared to order me around; if that's the case, then I'll take his thunder.

Jin Ning'er has already made a move, so what else can Hong Qi say but to join in as well?

Jin Ning'er rubbed the true fire of the sun into her hands, transforming it into the Golden Flame Empress to fight against the strongest royal ancestor.

Hong Qi took a spirit sword from the Heavenly Fox Divine Bell and charged towards the Immortal Emperor.

As for those at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, Jin Ning'er and Hong Qi were too ruthless; they couldn't even get close to the battlefield.

"How can these two demonesses be so powerful?"

The Emperor of Xianyou and the royal patriarch were filled with surprise, because Hong Qi and Jin Ning'er were both stronger than them.

As for General Lin Feng, his previous military formations had been broken by Cao Meng.

There's no way they could spare any help for the two of them; they'd be lucky if they could just keep Cao Meng in check!
The Immortal Dynasty only has three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and they are currently being suppressed and beaten. The Nascent Soul stage cultivators are completely of no help!
The only hope now is the support from the Xuantian Sect. If they can arrive as soon as possible, there is still a chance to turn the tide!
"You traitor Cao, take this shot!"

Lin Feng thrust his spear at Cao Meng, believing that Cao Meng was currently undergoing the Golden Crow Refining the World transformation and couldn't fully focus on fighting him, giving Lin Feng a chance to defeat him! (End of Chapter)
