Chapter 514 The Battle of Minds
On the battlefield, apart from Wei Yuan and Ju Ling fighting fiercely, the other Great Witches or Human Dharma Aspects were much more restrained, and they separated after only a brief exchange.

At this moment, countless powerful beings are engaged in fierce battles beyond the heavens. If a mere Great Witch Dharma Image were to fight too recklessly and ostentatiously, one of the beings above might not be so pleased and might unleash a spell from afar.

The ground battle was as brutal as ever, with the hundred-mile-long battle line resembling a giant meat grinder, constantly reaping lives on both sides. Unlike before, however, the ground was now illuminated by clusters of dim red light, barely lighting up an area of ​​a few feet around it.

Some of these red lights come from battlefield lighting equipment, while others originate from specially made flares. These flares are similar to ordinary bullets; once fired, they emit a dim red light that can last for up to an hour.

This is Sun Yu's research result. Most of the Wu tribe's eyesight is very poor at distinguishing this red light. The light that humans can see clearly is just a thin fog in the eyes of the Wu tribe, and they can't even see the surrounding area.

The Wu tribe mostly waged wars at night, making battlefield lighting an important research topic. Fortunately, Sun Yu had been studying the Wu tribe and quickly made a breakthrough.

After fighting the Sniper for so long, Wei Yuan discovered that it had quietly begun to develop a portion of its mental world around him.

Its mental world is formless and intangible; one can only sense a slight dampness. But within this mental world, its speed becomes unbelievably fast, almost instantaneous, leaving Wei Yuan with no means to hit it except with his lightning strike technique.

The Immortal Path Twilight requires a direct hit to be effective, but Wei Yuan can't even touch the Sniper Feather right now, so how can he hit him?
Wei Yuan's heart stirred as he recalled some techniques from Taoist texts regarding attacking the mental realm. He had initially read these texts simply to broaden his horizons, but now they proved useful.

Wei Yuan conjured up scenes of human life, with glimpses of a prosperous and bustling world covering the azure sky. Wei Yuan immediately sensed something else mixed in with the conjured human life and ordered it to be eliminated.

Within the mundane world of Dharma, several persistent anglers suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and almost everyone's fishing rod suddenly sank!
They shouted and yelled, attracting a large number of potential anglers who swarmed over. Together, they dragged several strangely shaped large fish ashore.

These large fish are extremely ferocious, wriggling violently. Some of them suddenly bite a person, leaving only half a body!

The mortals were not afraid. They used knives and axes to cut the strange fish into pieces in the blink of an eye. The fish meat smelled foul, so the mortals carried it to a nearby field and buried it as fertilizer.

At this moment, ordinary people kept pouring out of the city, and hundreds of fishermen had already lined up on the shore, constantly pulling strange fish out of the sea.

These strange fish are the physical manifestations of the Sniper's mental world. Now that the two mental worlds overlap and clash, it has become a battle between the strange fish and the fisherman.

But clearly, there are too many anglers in the world, and many of them haven't had a chance to use their skills yet. So some are busy making fishing rods, while others are trying to use different things to bait the area.

Suddenly, the sniper was both surprised and furious, letting out a sharp roar that intensified the manifestation of the mental world.

In the midst of the fierce battle, its inner world is being constantly eroded and devoured by the mundane world, with patches of moisture disappearing one after another at an increasingly rapid pace.

Wei Yuan also noticed that the weakening speed of the Sniper's mental world was abnormal, which seemed beyond what the fisherman could do. He scanned the area with his divine sense and found that countless strange fish had appeared in the ocean of human life. As if attracted by something, all the strange fish were swimming towards the same place.

On the seabed there lies a huge, dark green stone sphere. At this moment, many bottomless holes have appeared on its surface. As soon as the strange fish arrive, they all crawl into the holes and then disappear.

With each monstrous fish that vanished, a wisp of crimson blood would spurt from the top of the dark green stone sphere. As it devoured more and more monstrous fish, the area above the stone sphere had become a sea of ​​blood!
This dark green stone sphere was originally an ancient spiritual plant gifted by Tianyu. Wei Yuan never expected that it would need to devour the thought worlds of other cultivators to grow. Now, its inner vitality is becoming increasingly vibrant and lively, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached its critical point!
Suddenly, the dark green stone sphere's suction force increased dramatically, drawing all the strange fish within hundreds of feet around it to be swallowed whole. It then expanded rapidly, and its top cracked open, spewing out thousands of points of light!

These tiny specks of light, each a different color, resembled a fountain overflowing with rainbows under the sunlight, exuding the rich joy of new life's birth. Wei Yuan could even sense the happiness of the Dharma World. The dazzling fountain continued for several breaths before finally ending. Countless tiny lives swam in the sea of ​​blood, absorbing the surrounding nutrients and growing continuously.

The dark green stone sphere had become an empty shell, with a new sprout emerging from its center, resembling a piece of black jade.

The battle between the two sides remained intense, but Wei Yuan, who had initially been at a disadvantage, had now turned the tide. The strain on the Sniper Feather from the consumption of the Mind World had significantly increased its burden, and Wei Yuan could feel the enormous drain on its mana.

The Sniper was both shocked and furious. Its mental world was for spellcasting support, not for offense, but it never expected to be suppressed by the mental world of a Dharma Aspect cultivator. It was constantly being suppressed, torn apart and devoured!

Amidst the everyday hustle and bustle of life, a group of adventurers and gourmets gather to research how to cook these strange fish meats to make them delicious.

Then people found some suicidal and world-weary people, as well as some people who usually argue with everyone and everything, and prepared to let them eat first, to see if they could find a way out and no longer have to live and suffer.

Others surrounded the people preparing to test the poison, incessantly urging them to convert to their religion, saying that suffering in this life is nothing to worry about, as they will receive blessings in the next life and live in places like holy lands, heaven, paradise, pure lands, immaculate realms, and ideal states.

The names of the places they go in the afterlife are all different, but the content is largely the same. These people all have one thing in common: they all call themselves messengers of God, prophets, apostles, guides, ferrymen, etc., basically claiming that they are the only messengers before God, and that everyone else is a fraud.

Wei Yuan ignored the strange and unusual things happening in the world and continued to deal with Ju Ling, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

At this moment, in the new city on the ground, the deputy general in charge of the guard opened the warrant handed to him by Feng Chutang. The warrant was issued by Cui Yu and verified to be correct. He bowed to Feng Chutang and then turned to go out to make arrangements.

He only said less than ten words from beginning to end.

The city's defense forces and officers were all young men from the Xu family. They rarely spoke, and could communicate with a single glance, as if they were of one mind.

Despite having seen it several times, Feng Chutang still felt uneasy. These Xu family youths seemed like a group of monsters in human skin, and she had no idea what they were really like inside.

Soon the lieutenant returned, bringing with him a hundred young girls, each with a noticeable bulge in her lower abdomen.

The lieutenant gestured, and all the girls removed their clothes and stood in place so Feng Chutang could see them clearly. Feng Chutang nodded, and the soldiers nearby removed their armor, which the girls then put on. Feng Chutang then led them away from the new city.

Outside the new city, several hundred-man squads were already waiting. The girls, dressed in warrior armor, joined these squads, and then the squads departed under the cover of night, heading to different fronts and key locations.

Only after the last group disappeared did Feng Chutang fly back to his residence. His speed had slowed down a bit.

PS: It seems appropriate to add a short paragraph today.
