In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 199: Promotion to the Front Line

Blood Refining Shura Formation;

Although the name sounds ungentle, the effect is quite good.

This formation requires a base tempered with blood, and uses living souls as sacrifices. The more living souls there are, the better the effectiveness of the formation.

This array has three effects:

Strengthen the soul, strengthen the body, and achieve rapid success.

Ji Xiao was the first to enter the formation. After entering, he saw the light and shadows around him changing, and in front of him was endless blood energy. He seemed to be inside a blood tornado, and in the constantly swirling cyclone, wisps of blood energy flew out from time to time and swept towards him.

The blood was like a knife, causing Ji Xiao to feel piercing pain, but there was not a single scar on his body.

Wang Jixuan's voice sounded from all directions, solemn and dignified:

"Ji Xiao, you have committed many crimes and killed many people before. Now you have turned from evil to good and are fighting against demons to protect the people. Today, I allow you to use this formation to improve yourself.

"You must remember that you still have boundless sins of killing. It is easy to kill one person, but difficult to save one. I hope you can clear your karma as soon as possible and return to your own peace."

Ji Xiaofu was very moved. He put his hands together and bowed his head towards the front.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for giving me this opportunity."

"Sit down," Wang Jixuan said slowly, "You will feel the pain of fierce wind scraping your bones and fierce fire burning your soul. The longer you stay there, the more you will gain. The souls used here are all from blade beasts, so don't worry about it."

"Yes."

Ji Xiao's slightly plump body shook, and he immediately sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands together, chanted scriptures, and a circle of precious light appeared behind him.

The blood and energy blowing from the surroundings became more and more dense. He only lasted half a minute before he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Drops of bloody sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole body was soaked in blood.

Ji Xiao gritted his teeth and endured it. Under the influence of Buddhism, he felt boundless guilt in his heart.

Previously, when following Xing Dian, Ji Xiao committed murder and arson, and did all kinds of evil. He acted arrogantly in the D3 comprehensive war zone like an emperor, bullying men and women and committing all kinds of evil.

After that, he was transformed by Wang Jixuan using Buddhism, and he went to another extreme, suffering from immense pain every moment.

The thought that popped up in Ji Xiao's mind at this moment was that he would have to save a certain number of people before he could peacefully destroy himself.

Now, facing such a large battle, although his body was in pain and his soul was tormented, after enduring the pain, he felt a little more at ease in his heart.

After more than half an hour, Ji Xiao lowered his head, sighed, and murmured:
"When an evil thought arises, a good thought arises. Good and evil are uncertain, all because of the desire of the mind."

Tears fell from his eyes and his body slowly fell back, completely unconscious.

Wang Jixuan slowed down the formation and signaled a mechanical maid to go in, pull Ji Xiao out, and examine him carefully.

Not bad, the increase in the mottled Qi in Ji Xiao's body was not very large, probably about 20%;
What's more important is that these mottled auras are increasingly inclined towards the "Buddha" power cultivated from Buddhism, which has the function of purifying resentment and saving all living beings.

The biggest increase this time was in Ji Xiao's own telekinesis, which is another form of soul power.

Ji Xiao's current telekinesis is so strong that it should be close to the level of a low-level S-level telekinetic psychic. However, due to insufficient "qi" in his body, his endurance is far from comparable to that of an S-level psychic.

"Using the crystal core and psychic circuit of the blade beast can make up for this problem and create a true S-class psychic."

This thought came to Wang Jixuan's mind, and then he burst into laughter.

Let’s forget about this one;

One should not be too devilish.

Wang Jixuan was not planning to study the psychic pathways of the blade beasts; that was Shen Qionglin's topic.

The second person to enter was Wu Man.

After this opportunity of [recovering the lost Heavenly Soul], Wu Man has firmly stepped into the ranks of A-level psychics, and his own animal language ability has also been enhanced.

Even though Wu Man has not yet entered the battle, his strength is comparable to that of Ji Xiao, who has completed his improvement.

His ability to speak animal language is extremely valuable.

Wang Jixuan also had high hopes for Wu Man. Before Wu Man entered the battle, he specifically called out to the young man and gave him careful instructions:
“Wu Man, you have brain damage, which may affect your judgment.

“Don’t force yourself once you’re inside. Once you exceed your limit, immediately fall backwards and pass out. I will pull you out right away.

“This formation itself is not a good formation, nor is it a good means of improvement. Its advantage is that it can be achieved quickly, and it only works for everyone the first time they use it.

"Because we now have a large number of blade beast residual souls available, it can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization."

Wu Man smiled and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, sir. Although I really want to become stronger, I won't lose my mind and will not fall into a coma if I can't bear it."

Wang Jixuan patted him on the shoulder and whispered to him a mantra to stabilize his soul.

Wu Man memorized the formula calmly.

Without Wang Jixuan's reminder, Wu Man naturally knew the importance of this fragment of the formula. He would rather die than reveal it to others and not be captured.

After entering the formation, the young man sat in the center of the blood-stained stone slab.

The blood and energy around him vibrated like a knife, from slow to fast.

Wu Man clasped his hands together and silently recited the mantra taught by Wang Jixuan, and strands of milky white light burst out around him.

Wang Jixuan was waiting outside.

When Wu Man persisted for fifteen minutes, he had made significant improvements, but he was still a long way from the level of an S-level psychic, and the increase in his internal energy was not obvious.

But it doesn’t matter, Wang Jixuan was well prepared.

Although Ji Xiao has been cultivated by Buddhism and is considered a rare high-end psychic force on his side, Ji Xiao is ultimately a villain by birth, so the Taoist priest would not take him too seriously.

The Taoist priest was very generous to Wu Man.

There were two pills in Wang Jixuan's palm. He flicked his fingers and sent them accurately to Wu Man's mouth.

"Open your mouth, and don't make any sound."

Wu Man swallowed the pill and instantly felt two powerful warm currents blooming in his body. One warm current rushed straight to his head, nourishing his soul, and the other warm current spread to his limbs and bones, alleviating most of his pain. The amount of breath in his body increased rapidly, and wisps of impurities were discharged from his body.

The boy is going through a transformation.

Wu Man didn't know how valuable these two pills were.

In the cultivation world where Wang Jixuan was born, the value of one of them was far more than that of ten Heyuan Pills.

Of course, the special effect of Heyuan Dan on the old half-human mecha is unmatched by other elixirs.

Wang Jixuan had used these two kinds of elixirs yesterday, which slightly improved his cultivation and enabled him to enter the middle and late stages of the Return to Void Realm.

He refined three pills of each type of pill and planned to give the last two to Zheng Shiduo today.

Another fifty minutes later, Wu Man fell unconscious in the Blood Refining Shura Formation, his body covered in blood.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and waved lightly, and Wu Man flew out of the formation and landed on a stretcher that had been waiting for a long time. He was carried to the spirit gathering formation next to him for treatment.

From now on, even if Wu Man calls himself an S-level psychic, no one will question him, but he will not be ranked in the top 100.

The total amount of energy in Wu Man's body has slightly exceeded that of Shen Qionglin, but his overall combat power is lower than that of Shen Qionglin after his awakening.

In Wang Jixuan's opinion, cultivation must be gradual. One formation can bring such a big improvement...

"If you learn the magic quickly, you will inevitably overdraw your potential."

"However, they will not have any training methods in the short term, so overdrawing their potential to gain combat power is a good deal."

Wang Jixuan turned around and shouted, "Peony! Continue to break the crystal core!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Number three, enter the formation."

Ji Yale, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped into the formation.

Ji Yale, an A-level psychic, was not very skilled to begin with, so the improvement this time was not very big, but his telekinesis was greatly enhanced.

Subsequently, four veteran psychics from the Buddhist temple team entered in turn. Their strength increased to a certain extent. The B-level reached the threshold of the A-level, and the A-level took a big step forward.

The benefits they gained were greater than those of Ji Yale, but far less than those of Wu Man who had the help of elixirs.

Zheng Shiduo was the second to last to enter the battle.

Old Zheng only has C-level psychic power. Previously, when he followed the Buddhist Hall team on a mission, he could only rely on the X-armor to forcibly improve his overall combat power. Before Zheng Shiduo entered the battle, Wang Jixuan directly stuffed the pill into his hand and specifically instructed:
"If you can hold on for five minutes, you win, and you should be able to advance to Level B! It's very painful in there, so don't force yourself. It's the same if you take these two pills. For you, the effect will not be reduced."

Zheng Shiduo nodded solemnly. He held his head high and said in all seriousness, "I will never bring shame to a psychic who was born as a frontline soldier!"

After saying that, he let out a strange cry, tore off his camouflage short-sleeved shirt, and rushed into the formation.

Five minutes later, Zheng Shiduo had reached his limit. He was sitting cross-legged, his whole body flushed and he was shaking constantly.

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to rescue him, Zheng Shiduo suddenly made a sound... an indescribable sound...

“Ahaha – cool!”

Wang Jixuan: ...

The mechanical body waiting outside the formation: ...

Afterwards, that kind of "corrupt and decadent music" was heard everywhere.

"Oh! Great! Increase the intensity! Do it again!"

"So cool!"

"Ah~ I have found myself. I am about to reach the peak. My heart is surging. This is the truth I have been pursuing for decades... The pain is coming even more violently. Only pain can keep me alive. Ah... It feels so good..."

"Come on! Hahaha!"

He persisted in this way for another five minutes, then Zheng Shiduo opened his mouth and swallowed two pills.

He was quiet for about eight minutes, and then started shouting again. His physical condition continued to improve, especially his mental power increased terrifyingly.

Wang Jixuan couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead.

He never expected that Lao Zheng's messy personality and eccentric hobbies would play such a unique role at this time.

Just ...

The array is dirty.

Wang Jixuan looked at the last contestant who entered the game today with some sympathy.

——The red snake who was meditating in a strange posture next to him and had been practicing the "transformation technique" for the past eight or nine days.

On that day, Zheng Shiduo persisted in the battle for forty-seven minutes, and when he finally fainted, a happy smile was on his face.

His increase is terrifying. His telekinesis level is equivalent to that of a B+ level telekinetic psychic, and his body enhancement level is equivalent to that of a B- level physically enhanced psychic.

The purpose of this formation is to enhance mental power and strengthen the body.

The shortcomings are also obvious. This is a large formation and a pill. Wang Jixuan even refined some residual souls of blade beasts and fed them directly to Zheng Shiduo. However, after the promotion, the total amount of spiritual energy in Zheng Shiduo's body is still slightly low, and can only be barely considered B-level.

Not bad either.

Wang Jixuan has already decided that if Shen Qionglin wants to do the "Blade Beast Crystal Core Transplantation Experiment" in the future, he will let Zheng Shiduo be the guinea pig.

This guy's endurance is amazing!
Afterwards, Wang Jixuan let the red snake enter the formation and activated the formation with all his strength. He also smashed more than two thousand crystal cores nearby and used the formation to crush the remaining soul of the blade beast and sent it into the formation for the red snake to devour.

The red snake's strength has increased a lot, its soul has been significantly amplified, and its sub-king body has been strengthened.

But the king-level crystal core remains the same.

The red snake's transformation progress has taken a big step forward, and the body and soul have been initially integrated.

Wang Jixuan did not ask for much, as he was afraid that being too greedy and reckless would end up harming the Red Snake.

At night, he waited until everyone woke up, held a small meeting, and made a brief summary.

The Buddhist temple team has been collectively upgraded, and its overall combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

The red snake's strength has improved significantly.

As for Wang Jixuan himself... he would not do anything that would overdraw his potential if he could avoid it. After all, the ultimate goal of his practice was to ascend to immortality. Unless it was an emergency, he had to consider the long-term.

Then, Wang Jixuan formally issued the combat order.

"In a few days, we will take the initiative to attack the beast whisperer and the king-level preacher."

Wang Jixuan said quickly:

"This time, we took the initiative to attack. Without the advantage of location, we could only seek the right time and people.

“The Buddhist Hall Squad is a whole. Only when the seven swords of yours unite as one can you hope to kill the Beast Whisperer.

"I will act together with the Peak Maid Group, and there will also be a second-generation half-human mecha with me to find the king-level preacher.

“It is said that there are only seven of those things on this planet. When the pillar-level blade beasts are dormant, they are the actual rulers of the blade beasts. Killing one can severely damage the blade beast!

"Everyone!
“Human civilization has been going through this ordeal since a hundred years ago, with more than 10 billion people dead. Humans have a deep blood feud with the blade beasts, but they have never been able to take the initiative to settle the feud. They have always been passively beaten, and even divided and surrounded by the blade beasts!

“I hope that our proactive attack this time will be successful and serve as a clarion call for human civilization to counterattack the blade beasts.

“I won’t say too many nice words. Anyway, be more prepared, make adequate emergency plans, and give the beast speaker a fatal blow!
"This kind of traitor must be eliminated!"

"Yes!"

……

Another five days later.

A stealth transport plane took off from Fortress No. 76 and secretly headed for a military fortress northeast of the D5 Integrated War Zone.

Wang Jixuan was hiding on this plane with eight loyal wingmen dressed in various maid costumes.

Also sent over with them were more than 300 crystal core swords and 3,000 matching pure crystal cores.

As time goes by, Wang Jixuan's weapon refining results have been widely promoted in the D5 comprehensive war zone.

Driven by D5's terrifying industrial capacity:
Small and medium-sized Demon-Breaking Daggers have been equipped by frontline troops;
Tai Chi plates that protect against ordinary mental shocks have been fully equipped by special forces;
Crystal core swords and spears have been fully equipped to half-human mecha troops, general enhanced special forces, and front-line psychic troops.

These things can comprehensively improve the individual combat capabilities of frontline troops.

However, for the overall battle situation, powerful firepower is still the main focus. These individual weapons are only to help the soldiers improve their chances of survival when encountering a small group of blade beasts or underground breakthroughs.

Operation Beast Slaying has entered the countdown;
The several large groups of blade beasts had not yet completed their assembly, but the location of the beast speaker had basically been locked down by Wu Man.

"Ding Ding~"

Mudan simulated the sound effects of incoming messages in the back seat.

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan didn't even open his eyes and continued to meditate in his seat. "What's wrong?"

Mudan whispered, "I just got the news that the half-human mecha group is also resting in our target military fortress. Commander Lingtong is also here. They are also preparing to attack... To be precise, their actions will be a feint for our actions to attract the attention of the blade beasts, and then take the opportunity to find the king-level preacher."

Wang Jixuan nodded: "Then?"

"You haven't met Chief Lingtong for a long time."

Peony cleared her throat and whispered:
"Generally speaking, this kind of reunion is the best for the relationship to heat up quickly. Sir, you might as well try a bolder move. If she doesn't resist, then the relationship will be over."

"Does your definition of wingman refer to the aspect of romance?"

"Well, it's a battle. Of course, Peony is a combat wingman!"

"If you keep talking, I'll make you eat a nuclear battery alive," Wang Jixuan scolded angrily, "You're still controlling me. Go take a rest."

"Oh," Mudan pouted aggrievedly.

Wang Jixuan prepared a few pills and also wanted to give them to Lingtong and Shenhai.

As for the other half-human mechas... Beta has limited hair, so he can only add more in the future.

Taoist Wang's mind flashed with the image of Ling Tong leaning against the wall in military uniform with a panicked look in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.

The worldly world is a place to temper one’s mind. It should neither be indulged nor suppressed.

Although Wang Jixuan was confident that his Dao body was spotless, he had not yet practiced fasting...

"Peony, do you have any gum? Give me some."
