I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

After the meeting, the Nascent Soul cultivators departed and, following Wei Wuyai's instructions, headed to their respective defense zones to begin final pre-battle preparations.

Before long, only Wei Wuyai and Zhou Yuan remained in the empty hall.

The sunlight outside the hall shone through the tall windows, casting dappled shadows on the ground, but it could not dispel the heavy atmosphere that permeated the hall.

Wei Wuyai was no longer the resolute and passionate man he had been in front of everyone; a deep anxiety and weariness settled between his brows.

He paced slowly, his fingers unconsciously twisting his sleeves, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the huge Yu Kingdom border map hanging in the hall, finally settling on the point representing Tian City.

He let out a barely audible sigh.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou,"

Wei Wuyai stopped and looked at Zhou Yuan, who was standing quietly to the side, his voice low and filled with a hint of helplessness and expectation:

"What you said in the hall just now was from the bottom of your heart. How could I not know the difficulties of defending the city? But... alas, given the situation, there is no way to retreat for the time being. It is indeed... beyond our strength to completely stop the all-out attack of Mulan with the strength of our Nine Kingdoms Alliance alone."

He shook his head with a wry smile: "Although the Nine Kingdoms Alliance is called the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and comprises dozens of sects, seemingly united, their hearts are actually divided. Everyone talks about defending their territory and upholding their principles, but when it comes to abandoning their sects and foundations and sending their elite forces to the front lines to fight to the death, how many sects are truly willing to give their all? The eighteen or nineteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the city now represent the majority of the forces that our Nine Kingdoms Alliance can mobilize and that are willing to come. Even my Huayi Sect needs to leave people to guard the mountain gates, and there are still three Nascent Soul junior brothers who have not yet come..."

He looked at Zhou Yuan, his gaze complex: "What Fellow Daoist Zhou said earlier, though sharp, was spot on. With reinforcements not yet in place and the enemy outnumbering us, relying solely on our current strength and the Shangyuan Annihilation Array, holding out for long is as difficult as ascending to heaven. However… I really can't think of a better way. Fellow Daoist Zhou is both wise and brave, with unparalleled supernatural powers. I wonder… if you have any good strategies to break this predicament? Even just delaying it for a few more days would be good."

Wei Wuyai adopted an extremely humble posture, and his tone even carried a hint of pleading.

Although he previously described Zhou Yuan as "the number one person below the Yuanhou level," deep down, he had already elevated Zhou Yuan's actual combat strength to the point where he could rival a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

In some aspects, he might even surpass him. Faced with such an existence, he had long since set aside the airs of a great cultivator and adopted an attitude of complete equality, even one of seeking guidance.

Zhou Yuan remained silent for a moment.

His gaze also fell upon the enormous map, his finger lightly tracing the defensive line markings around Tiantian City, and he slowly spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, Tiantian City is a giant city in the southern part of the world, and the Shangyuan Annihilation Array is an ancient and wondrous array with a deep foundation. It is not entirely impossible to defend it for longer."

"Oh?" Wei Wuyai's spirits lifted instantly, his eyes gleaming with surprise. He quickly stepped forward and said urgently, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, what's your plan? Please tell me quickly! As long as it's within the capabilities of our Nine Kingdoms Alliance, we'll do it without hesitation!"

"Or there may be some clever ways to enhance it."

Zhou Yuan remained calm. "However, as for the specifics of how to proceed, I need to carefully review your alliance's information on the defense of Tiantian City, especially the detailed diagrams and operating principles of the Shangyuan Extinction Array. Only by thoroughly understanding the essence of this array can we find the right solution to enhance its power and endurance."

"That's easy!"

Without hesitation, Wei Wuyai immediately took out a dark gold token from his bosom that was neither gold nor jade and exuded an ancient and weathered aura. He also quickly took out a jade slip that he had prepared in advance and solemnly handed them to Zhou Yuan.

"This is the 'Heavenly Strategy Token.' With this token, you can access all the scriptures and archives of the alliance, except for the core inheritance, including access to forbidden areas and secret vaults. This is also granted to you, Fellow Daoist. This jade slip contains the complete diagram of the Upper Yuan Extinction Light Array, records of repairs and adjustments over the generations, and the core operating formula! This array is a secret of our Nine Kingdoms Alliance. Today, I, Wei, will make an exception and entrust all the secrets of this array to Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Wei Wuyai's move can be described as revealing one of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's biggest trump cards to Zhou Yuan without reservation.

It was both a matter of trust and a desperate gamble.

He was betting that Zhou Yuan's unfathomable abilities might actually create a miracle.

Zhou Yuan accepted the token and jade slip, and nodded: "Fellow Daoist Wei is trustworthy, and I will do my best to help."

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Wei Wuyai bowed deeply.

……

Zhou Yuan, holding the token and jade slip, did not return to his temporary residence.

Instead, they went directly to the center of Tiantian City, to a giant tower shrouded in layers of restrictions and heavily guarded—the Tian Ce Pavilion.

This place is a key location for the Nine Kingdoms Alliance to store its core classics, confidential files, and array diagrams.

After the Heavenly Strategy Token was presented, the Nascent Soul elders guarding the area dared not obstruct him and respectfully activated the restriction.

Zhou Yuan entered the tower and went directly to the secret chamber on the top floor. He activated several layers of restrictions that prevented divine sense from probing before taking out the jade slip containing the Shangyuan Extinction Array and immersing his divine sense into it.

In an instant, a massive, precise, and extremely complex three-dimensional array structure unfolded in his mind like a galaxy.

Countless runes flowed, spiritual energy lines intertwined, and energy nodes flickered, illustrating the infinite mysteries of this ancient and wondrous array.

From the outermost warning illusion array to the middle layer of the Five Elements Trapping and Killing Restriction, and then to the core "Extinction Light" Absolute Killing Array, each layer is progressive and interlocking, transforming the entire Tiantian City into a near-perfect war fortress.

Even an ordinary cultivator might not be able to decipher this formation, even if they devoted their entire life to it.

However, Zhou Yuan's spiritual strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, his understanding of formations and restrictions is already profound, and he also has the added benefit of comprehension from his equipment slots.

He was completely focused and immersed in the task, like the most skilled craftsman disassembling the most intricate instrument, quickly understanding every detail of the great formation, every key point of spiritual energy flow, and the principles of energy supply.

Time slipped away quietly in the secluded room.

One day... two days...

As the morning light of the third day had not yet completely dispelled the darkness, Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a look of understanding and contemplation flashing in them.

"Just as I thought..." he muttered to himself.

Through two days of dedicated study, he has basically mastered the operating mechanism of the Shangyuan Extinction Array.

This formation is incredibly powerful and has amazing defense, but its consumption of spiritual energy is also astronomical.

The problem lies here.

Ordinary large formations, including the Shangyuan Extinction Light Formation, are mostly inlaid with mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones.

It's not that I don't want to use higher-grade ones, but high-grade spirit stones are already rare in the human realm, especially in relatively "barren" places like Tiannan, where they are extremely scarce.

Even top-tier powers like the Nine Kingdoms Alliance possess only a handful of high-grade spirit stones, which they cherish as their very lives and would never easily take out and embed them into the city's protective array.

That would be like putting a family heirloom on the front door as a door stud—extravagant and extremely risky.

But Zhou Yuan was different.

He possesses a rare high-grade spirit stone mine on "Azure Spirit Island" in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Over the years, continuous mining has resulted in a reserve of tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, enough to make any power in Tiannan green with envy.

"If some high-grade spirit stones could be embedded in the key array eye of this Shangyuan Extinction Array, their pure and abundant spiritual energy could stimulate the potential of the array, which would be enough to increase the overall power of the array by 30% to 50% in a short period of time!"

Moreover, high-grade spirit stones possess pure spiritual energy, sufficient to sustain operation for a longer period!

Zhou Yuan quickly calculated in his mind.

If operated properly, without altering the fundamental structure of the formation, only minor adjustments need to be made at the formation's core, replacing some of the core driving energy with high-grade spirit stones, to significantly improve its performance without increasing the formation's load.

At that time, the defensive pressure on Tiancheng will be greatly reduced, and the time it can hold out will be extended considerably.

"However..." A glint of light flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes, "Now is not the time."

Offering help in times of need is far more valuable than adding to someone's success, and it also allows for...negotiating terms.

The great battle has just begun, and the people of Mulan are in high spirits. Although Tiancheng is under great pressure, it should be able to hold out for ten days or half a month with the help of the great formation itself and the strength of the city.

If high-level spirit stones were used at this time, the defense would certainly be enhanced, but the effect might not be maximized, and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance might easily take it for granted.

Half a month later, when the battle was at its fiercest, the city walls were in the most critical condition, the morale of the defenders was on the verge of collapse, and even Wei Wuyai felt despair, he took out this "trump card" again and reversed the tide in one fell swoop... The significance of that move was completely different.

At that time, if he makes some "reasonable" demands, adds some generous conditions, or obtains certain special materials or secret techniques from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's inventory, Wei Wuyai and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance will likely find it difficult to refuse.

"Timing...is very important."

Zhou Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile as he memorized the improved plan he had deduced, along with the details of the required number of high-level spirit stones and their embedding positions.

Let's leave that matter aside for now.

He straightened his robes, put away the Heavenly Strategy Token and the jade slip, and prepared to go find Wei Wuyai.

However, just as he stepped out of the Tian Ce Pavilion gate, before he could even figure out which way to go...

"Clang—!! Clang—!! Clang—!!!"

A deep, resonant, and seemingly soul-piercing alarm bell suddenly rang out simultaneously from the watchtowers at the four corners of Khotan City!

The bells tolled continuously, one after another, instantly spreading to every corner of the entire megacity!

They're here! The Mulan army has arrived!

And it was even half a day earlier than Wei Wuyai had predicted!

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, and with a light step, his figure transformed into a wisp of barely perceptible green smoke, shooting swiftly towards the south of the city, where the alarm bells were most concentrated and the spiritual energy fluctuations were most intense!

When he arrived at the inner city wall on the south side of the city, the place was already bustling with noise and sparkling with inspiration.

In addition to the numerous Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators on high alert responsible for maintaining the restrictions on this section of the city wall, eight powerful figures were also suspended in mid-air, namely the eight Nascent Soul cultivators led by Wei Wuyai!

Familiar faces such as Bu Yunhe and the bald-browed old man were among them, and everyone had a solemn expression.

Zhou Yuan's figure blurred, and he appeared beside Wei Wuyai.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

When Wei Wuyai saw him arrive, he nodded slightly, his expression softening a little, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.

Zhou Yuan looked past the semi-transparent light barrier, which was shrouded in pale golden runes, and towards the outside of the city.

All that could be seen on the vast plains south of Tiancheng was now covered by an endless "black tide"!

Banners fluttered like a forest, and the air was thick with murderous intent!

Tens of thousands of Mulan mages, dressed in leather armor of various colors and holding staffs or strange magical artifacts, formed neat and solemn square formations that stretched as far as the eye could see!

The eyesight of a low-level cultivator is so poor that they can hardly even see where the tail of this army is.

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!..."

The deep, thunderous sound of war drums echoed from the depths of the Mulan army formation, each beat seemingly striking the hearts of the defending cultivators, causing their blood to boil and their hearts to chill.

An invisible, chilling aura, like a tangible dark cloud, shrouded the sky above Tiantian City.

"It arrived half a day earlier than expected!"

Wei Wuyai took a deep breath, his voice amplified by his magical power, clearly reaching the ears of every cultivator on the city wall, carrying an unwavering resolve: "Fellow cultivators! With a formidable enemy before us, the survival of Tiantian City rests on our shoulders! There is no retreat, only a fight to the death! Defend with all our might, and the city will stand as long as we live!"

"As long as we live, the city will remain!"

From the city wall, a chorus of uneven yet poignant responses rang out.

Wei Wuyai said no more, and said in a deep voice to the seven Nascent Soul cultivators beside him, "Let's go out and meet them, to find out their strength..."

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of dark green light, piercing through a temporary passage of the Shangyuan Extinction Array and appearing high in the sky outside the city.

Zhou Yuan, Bu Yunhe, and six others followed without hesitation.

Eight figures, like eight pillars stabilizing the sea, hovered outside the enormous golden light shield, facing the boundless army of Mulan.

As if in response, twelve figures flew out from the front of the Mulan army and stopped about three hundred feet away from Wei Wuyai and the others.

These twelve people all possessed immense spiritual pressure, and most of them were Nascent Soul cultivators!

Not far behind them, in the distant sky, nearly thirty figures exuding the aura of Nascent Soul cultivators could be faintly seen standing quietly.

Clearly, the number of Nascent Soul Grandmasters deployed by the Mulan army besieging the city is approaching forty!

This is only what's visible on the surface! Whether there are other things hidden in the shadows remains to be seen.

There is a significant disparity in the number of Nascent Soul level cultivators between the two sides.

Among the twelve people in front, the one in the middle was Zhou Yuan's old "acquaintance".

The shaman surnamed Zhong, dressed in a blue robe, wearing a square scarf on his head, and with a clear and shrewd face!

His immense spiritual pressure, typical of someone in the late Nascent Soul stage, was undisguised, as solid and imposing as a mountain.

Beside Master Zhong stood three black-robed cultivators.

The black-robed man in the center was hidden in the wide robe, and his face could not be seen. However, the cold, evil, and unfathomable aura emanating from him was no less than that of Master Zhong, and he was also a great cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

It was none other than Sect Master Fang, the leader of the Yinluo Sect on this trip!

The other two men in black robes, both at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, stood on either side.

"It's him! Master Zhong, Sect Leader Fang! It's this man! He killed Master Yue and stole the Yuanming Lamp! Ku Yao and Tian Ku also died at his hands!"

Suddenly, behind Master Zhong, a low-ranking mage abruptly raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Yuan, who was standing next to Wei Wuyai, his voice excited.

This person is none other than "Master Gao," who narrowly escaped with his nascent soul that day and has now been reborn by possessing another body!

Although his cultivation level had plummeted, his fear and hatred for Zhou Yuan remained deeply ingrained.

In an instant!

The twelve Nascent Soul cultivators from Mulan and Yinluo Sect in front of them all fixed their gazes on Zhou Yuan like the sharpest swords!

Those eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred, icy killing intent, and a trace of barely concealed fear!

Master Le has perished, the Yuanming Lamp has been stolen, and several masters have died mysteriously one after another... All of this points to this young cultivator!

This person has become the number one enemy in the hearts of the people of Mulan, and they must get rid of him as soon as possible!

Faced with this terrifying gaze that could make even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators lose their composure, Zhou Yuan remained completely calm, looking back at them with a serene expression, as if he were merely looking at a group of insignificant chickens and dogs. That indifferent gaze only intensified the killing intent in the hearts of Master Zhong and the others.

Master Zhong suppressed his urge to act immediately, shifted his gaze from Zhou Yuan to Wei Wuyai, who was at the head of the group, and spoke in a calm voice, which carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, it's been a long time. Although Tian City is fortified, the army of my Holy Clan is unstoppable. The Nine Kingdoms Alliance cannot withstand this alone. Why make a futile struggle and increase casualties? Why not cede Yu Kingdom and retreat elsewhere? With the foundation of your Nine Kingdoms Alliance, it would not be difficult to find another foothold in the territory of the Righteous Path Alliance or the Heavenly Path Alliance..."

"Hmph! Fellow Daoist Zhong, why bother with your pretense!"

Wei Wuyai snorted coldly, his voice booming like a bell, showing no sign of backing down, "You barbarians have repeatedly invaded my Tiannan, killing my fellow cultivators and plundering my resources. This enmity is irreconcilable! Today, your army has come to our gates, merely to invade our homeland and destroy our lineage! We, the cultivators of Tiannan, will never compromise!"

"Hmph! Fellow Daoist Zhong, why bother with your pretense!"

Wei Wuyai snorted coldly, his voice booming like a bell, showing no sign of backing down, "You barbarians have repeatedly invaded my Tiannan, killing my fellow cultivators and plundering my resources. This enmity is irreconcilable! Today, your army has come to our gates, merely to invade our homeland and destroy our lineage! We, the cultivators of Tiannan, will never compromise!"

Negotiations broke down.

This was entirely expected.

"Stubborn to the end!"

A cold glint flashed in Master Zhong's eyes. Without another word, he raised his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

"kill--!!!"

The twelve Nascent Soul cultivators attacked almost simultaneously!

The magical artifact's radiance soared into the sky, and a torrent of spiritual magic swept across the heavens!

Flying swords, giant seals, ghost claws, fire dragons, ice cones, wind blades... all sorts of attacks, carrying destructive power, bombarded Wei Wuyai and his eight companions from all directions!

The majority of these attacks even subtly targeted the area where Zhou Yuan was located as a primary objective!

"retreat!"

Wei Wuyai was prepared. With a low shout, the eight men retreated hastily without lingering in battle, instantly disappearing into the pale golden light shield of the Shangyuan Extinction Array behind them.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

Countless attacks slammed into the light shield, unleashing a deafening roar!

The surface of the light shield rippled violently, and the runes flashed wildly, dispersing, absorbing, and neutralizing most of the attack's power, steadily withstanding this first wave of probing attacks.

"Attack the formation!" Master Zhong gave the order in a cold voice, unsurprised by the sight.

"Knock knock knock!"

The war drums suddenly quickened their pace!

The army of Mulan mages immediately sprang into action, forming formations of hundreds or even thousands. Under the command of the Core Formation mages, they began chanting in unison and unleashing combined spiritual attacks!

In an instant, various spiritual lights converged above the army, transforming into thick pillars of light, vast areas of blazing meteorites, and massive wind blades that tore everything apart... like a torrential rain, continuously bombarding the light shield of the Shangyuan Annihilation Array!

The great battle has officially begun!

For the next three days and three nights, the Mulan army launched a relentless and fierce attack on Tiantian City.

The combined magical attacks of low-level mages surged like a tide, one wave after another.

The Nascent Soul masters also took turns stepping forward, either joining forces to bombard the weak points of the formation or trying to lure the Nascent Souls guarding the city out to fight.

The defending side, relying on the sturdy defense of the Shangyuan Extinction Array, held firm and did not venture out.

They would only occasionally send out one or two Nascent Soul cultivators skilled in escape techniques or defense to harass or launch surprise attacks. If they were outmatched, they would immediately retreat back into the formation and rely on the formation to maneuver.

Both sides launched attacks and defenses, but overall, the Tiancheng Grand Formation remained as stable as Mount Tai, without revealing any obvious flaws.

Although the Mulan people launched a fierce attack, they did not seem to be going all out; it was more like they were testing and wearing down the enemy.

Until the fifth day.

Zhou Yuan, who had been observing the situation quietly, finally made his move.

On this day, when the Mulan people once again organized a large-scale combined attack using spiritual techniques to bombard an area south of the city, causing violent ripples in the light barrier and a sudden increase in pressure on the defending troops, Zhou Yuan's figure had already penetrated the light barrier and appeared outside the city.

The moment he appeared, the three Nascent Soul Masters from Mulan who were overseeing the battle or preparing to attack in the vicinity immediately turned into sharks that had smelled blood, their eyes flashing with ferocity, and they all rushed towards him!

Clearly, Zhou Yuan had already been designated as a kill target by the Mulan leadership, and would be immediately besieged if he were to be alone.

However, Zhou Yuan seemed oblivious to this.

He hovered in mid-air, facing the overwhelming aftershocks of the combined spiritual attack and the three Nascent Soul masters who were flanking him. He calmly raised his right hand and skillfully formed a hand seal.

Thousand Swords Technique!

"Buzz—!"

There was no build-up, no lengthy prelude.

Just half a breath! Or even less!

Countless condensed, dazzling, and incomparably sharp golden sword energies, like golden suns bursting into bloom, suddenly erupted from Zhou Yuan's center, filling the sky within a radius of hundreds of feet!

Densely packed, layer upon layer, the airspace was dyed gold!

"go."

A soft shout.

Ten thousand golden sword energies transformed into a destructive torrent of metal, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore everything apart. Instead of attacking the three Nascent Soul Grandmasters who had flanked them, it charged headlong into the densely packed army of Mulan mages below, who were casting a combined spiritual spell!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

Sword energy rained down!

"ah--!!"

"Block it! Form a shield!"

"No--!"

The piercing screams, the frantic shouts, the sound of protective shields shattering, the muffled thuds of flesh being cut... instantly resounded throughout that army formation!

Wherever the golden sword energy passed, it was like the Grim Reaper's scythe slicing through a wheat field, and large swathes of Mulan mages fell like mowing grass.

Limbs and severed arms flew everywhere.

With just this one attack, nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment mages and several Core Formation mages were killed or injured.

However, this is just the beginning.

Even after unleashing such a wide-ranging and powerful sword technique, Zhou Yuan's aura remained undiminished.

In his equipment inventory, he was equipped with the enormous Spirit Eye Spring from the Void Heaven Palace, along with several high-grade spirit stones, giving him near-infinite mana regeneration.

Just as the chaos and screams of agony in the army below had barely subsided, the three Nascent Soul Grandmasters who were flanking Zhou Yuan were also momentarily stunned by this sudden and terrifying attack—

Zhou Yuan raised his hand again.

Thousand Swords Technique!

"Buzz—!"

A second wave of golden sword energy, of the same size and power, appeared out of nowhere and poured down on another mage army formation that was preparing a combined attack spell!

Then came the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave...

Zhou Yuan seemed to have transformed into a tireless, infinitely powerful killing machine.

He hovered quietly in mid-air, and every breath, he would raise his hand to release the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique," which had a wide coverage area and terrifying power!

The golden sword energy, like an inexhaustible rain of death, poured down wave after wave without ceasing onto the dense Mulan army formation below.

And those Nascent Soul Masters who try to get close to attack or defend!

"A madman! Is his magic power inexhaustible?!"

"This is impossible! Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would struggle to cast such a spell several times in a row!"

"Scatter! Get out of this area!"

"Stop him! We must stop him!"

The three Nascent Soul Grandmasters who initially surrounded Zhou Yuan had completely given up the idea of ​​attacking when Zhou Yuan released the seventh wave of the Myriad Swords Technique. They desperately used their defensive magic treasures to dodge and block in the endless golden sword light.

Where would anyone dare to approach?

They could only watch in utter horror as Zhou Yuan, like a god or demon, single-handedly confronted the army, unleashing devastating firepower.

In just a dozen breaths, Zhou Yuan had unleashed more than twenty "Ten Thousand Swords Techniques" in succession!

Hundreds of thousands of golden sword energies completely transformed a vast area several miles deep and several miles wide outside the south gate of Tiantian City into a golden death inferno!

Sword energy crisscrossed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and cries of agony filled the air!

Many sorcerers died violent deaths.

The sky over that area had been dyed a dazzling and terrifying gold by endless golden sword light. The buzzing sound of sword energy gathered into a sea, endless and seemingly without end!

"This... is impossible!"

Such a horrifying sight finally alerted Master Zhong and Sect Leader Fang, who were stationed at the rear.

The two figures appeared on the outskirts of the golden death zone, gazing at the endless sword energy that surged like a golden ocean, constantly being generated and annihilated, and the calm, suspended figure at the center of the sword energy.

Even with their late-stage Nascent Soul realm knowledge and composure, they couldn't help but shrink their pupils and show an expression of disbelief on their faces.

How can a single person unleash more than twenty powerful area-of-effect spells in a short period of time?

Moreover, it seems that he is... handling things with ease. Is this person's magical power inexhaustible?

This completely overturned their understanding of the upper limit of a cultivator's magical power and the rules of spellcasting!

Even the two of them would never dare to take such a dense, continuous, and overwhelming barrage of spells, each one comparable to a full-force attack from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

We must temporarily avoid direct confrontation and find a weakness!

This week...

What kind of monster is it?!

Master Zhong and Sect Leader Fang exchanged a glance, both seeing deep apprehension and an uncontrollable killing intent in each other's eyes.

If this person is not eliminated, he will surely become a major threat!

He hovered quietly in mid-air, and every breath, he would raise his hand to release the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique," which had a wide coverage area and terrifying power!

The golden sword energy, like an inexhaustible rain of death, poured down wave after wave without ceasing onto the dense Mulan army formation below.

And those Nascent Soul Masters who try to get close to attack or defend!

"A madman! Is his magic power inexhaustible?!"

"This is impossible! Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would struggle to cast such a spell several times in a row!"
