A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

The sudden change shocked everyone present, especially those who knew that Chen Weisheng had no hope of achieving the Golden Core stage, and they were very surprised by the Golden Core aura that appeared on his body.

Chen Qingmo, who was adjusting his breathing, was initially overjoyed to see his son break through to the Golden Core realm, but then he sensed that something was amiss.

It is true that Chen Weisheng's cultivation has reached the Golden Core realm, but his extremely depleted life force is highly abnormal.

Coupled with the somewhat eerie mayfly on his son's head, Chen Qingmo had a bad feeling.

At this moment, Chen Weisheng was fighting against the barbarian Golden Core cultivator, and the situation was urgent, so he had no way to ask for specific details.

Ahead, Man Shou stared at Chen Weisheng, who had blocked his attack, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Human, you're really good at hiding. Even I didn't realize you were at the Golden Core stage." Man Shou was meeting Chen Weisheng for the first time and didn't know his original strength, so he thought he was hiding his cultivation level.

Chen Weisheng did not reply, but clapped his hands, knocking Man Shou away.

At the moment he activated the Mayfly Forbidden Technique, his realm was still somewhat unstable. It was only because Man Shou did not use his full strength that he was able to block the opponent's divine power.

Now, some time has passed, and the mayflies above his head have almost completely devoured his life force. At this moment, Chen Weisheng possesses the true combat power of a Golden Core cultivator. The only difference is that he doesn't have many days left to live.

He looked up and saw that the mayfly was also staring at him.

Its azure body and transparent wings tinged with a faint crimson hue highlight its extraordinary nature.

The next moment, Chen Weisheng raised his hand and the mayfly disappeared, returning to his body.

His cultivation level actually rose again from the initial stage of Golden Core, until it reached the critical point before the middle stage of Golden Core.

"After being affected by the Dead End Gu, I can still experience the feeling of the Golden Core realm. It's really not bad." Chen Weisheng smiled, but felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

However, this feeling didn't affect him for long. He still had Man Shou as an enemy in front of him, and he had to kill him first.

Chen Weisheng raised his hand and pressed down, instantly breaking the oppressive aura of the barbarian sash, and the cultivators of Dongze County regained their freedom of movement.

At this moment, they were in high spirits, extremely excited that they had gained another Golden Core cultivator.

"Wei Sheng..." Zhou Tinglong, who was fighting the barbarians in mid-air, sensed Chen Wei Sheng's cultivation level and fell silent.

The disciple defied the expectations of several Nascent Soul cultivators, but the price seemed to be extremely high.

The incident has already occurred, and he will have to wait until the war is over to find out the reason.

With this in mind, Zhou Tinglong became ruthless, his sword moves becoming increasingly fierce, causing Zhan Jun to retreat in defeat.

In the vast battlefield below, Man Shou was defeated by Chen Weisheng, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The human in front of him was clearly at the same level as him at the beginning, or even a little weaker. How did he suddenly become close to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm?

ephemera!

Thinking of the mayfly that had disappeared earlier, Man Shou understood that the mayfly must have been transformed by a secret technique.

"Wei Sheng, hold off this Golden Core barbarian for a while. I have an eighth-grade formation. After I activate it, you can use it to kill the Golden Core barbarian."

Hearing his father's voice, Chen Weisheng immediately made a decision.

He held the Vast Ocean Sword and drew a circle.

The next instant, boundless sword intent crashed down, enveloping the entire barbarian army.

Even though Man Shou acted immediately, he still couldn't stop Chen Weisheng.

The two were at a difference in cultivation level. Chen Weisheng's comprehension of swordsmanship had long since reached the Golden Core realm, and even surpassed Zhou Tinglong by a few points.

Now that he has true Golden Core strength, he can easily deal with cultivators of the same level, not to mention Man Shou, whose cultivation is currently inferior to his.

"Damn it!" Man Shou's face showed both shock and anger.

Having recently broken through to the Golden Core stage, he thought attacking Dongze County would be a simple task, so he readily agreed to let the clan elders come here.

Who could have imagined that just after he displayed the aura of a Golden Core cultivator, a human who had been hiding extremely well would stop him?

Moreover, the opponent's cultivation and strength far surpassed his own, and Man Shou couldn't help but want to curse angrily.

Damn it, where did all these tough guys on the human side come from?

With this thought in mind, Man Shou dared not slack off in the slightest and directly activated his own totem.

A white-faced black ape appeared out of nowhere. Unlike the blood python of Manliu, the white-faced black ape could actually act on its own.

Although it couldn't compare to the control of the barbarian chieftain himself, it still relieved a lot of pressure on the barbarian army.

Upon seeing this, Chen Weisheng's lips curled up slightly, and the Vast Ocean Sword in his hand shimmered with light, instantly transforming into a giant whale.

The giant whale charged straight at the white-faced black ape, while Chen Weisheng used his fingers as swords to continue his martial arts.

Trapping the entire barbarian army would consume a significant amount of his spiritual energy and magical power, especially since Man Shou, a Golden Core cultivator, was still struggling inside.

Fortunately, the cultivators from Dongze County recovered and rejoined the battlefield. A torrent of colorful magic surged into the boundless sword intent, causing significant damage to the barbarian army.

After about an incense stick's time, Chen Weisheng's magical power was greatly depleted, and he quickly withdrew his sword intent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Man Shou rushed to his side, slashing down with his giant axe, intending to kill him instantly.

But Chen Weisheng wouldn't give him that chance. He exhaled lightly, and a blue water arrow shot out.

This is a magical artifact he acquired during his travels, named Water Condensation Edge.

Chen Weisheng lacked the strength to activate this item during his Foundation Establishment stage, but he secretly nurtured it within his body when he was suppressing the barbarian army.

Now that the enemy is attacking, it's the perfect time to use this treasure.

A deadly sense of crisis suddenly arose in Man Shou's heart, and he reacted instinctively by turning his head to the side.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered as a chunk of flesh from Man Shou's cheek, along with his left ear, was sliced ​​off by Shui Ningfeng.

His eyes narrowed sharply, but his expression remained unchanged. He continued to cleave the giant axe in his hand with undiminished force, aiming for Chen Weisheng's waist and abdomen.

A soft, flowing sensation came from his palm. Man Shou felt as if his axe strike had struck the ocean without creating many ripples.

Chen Weisheng had a cold smile on his lips. He was already covered with a layer of water, just waiting for Man Shou to get closer.

He put two fingers together and thrust them towards the other person's face.

However, Man Shou was very experienced in combat. After his first attack failed, he withdrew his strength and prepared to retreat.

When Chen Weisheng's fingertips were a foot away from his eyes, Man Shou reacted quickly and retreated, almost getting hit.

The two fought fiercely, but Chen Weisheng controlled the situation, so the aftermath of their battle did not affect anyone else.

The barbarian army suffered heavy casualties, and Manliu was seriously injured. At this moment, he was entangled with Tiejian Zhenren and was already struggling to cope.

Chen Qingmo was behind the crowd, hiding inside the Luo Yu Cauldron, holding the array plate of the Gengjin Exorcising Array, and continuously throwing mid-grade spirit stones into it.

Seeing the array patterns on the array plate gradually being activated, Chen Qingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in Huangzhong Gorge, the Demon Armored Serpent was severely injured by the Gengjin Exorcising Array. If it weren't for the fact that Sang Que's attack power was relatively weak, they probably could have killed the Demon Armored Serpent directly.

With Chen Weisheng, a Golden Core sword cultivator, present, as long as Man Shou is severely injured by the array plate, the outcome of the battle will be a foregone conclusion.

Chen Qingmo activated the array plate with all his might, not daring to relax even for a moment.

Not long after, seeing that the array patterns were fully activated, he transmitted his voice to his son again: "Weisheng, I have activated this eighth-grade array, the Gengjin Exorcising Array. Now it's up to you."

After saying that, Chen Qingmo stepped out of the Luo Yu Ding, flicked his hand, and threw the array plate near his son.

Chen Weisheng glanced at it and immediately took it into his hand. Then he used a spell to briefly trap Man Shou and poured true essence into the array plate.

An astonishing fluctuation emanated from the array plate. The Gengjin Exorcising Array, activated by Chen Weisheng, a Golden Core cultivator, was even stronger than the array plate activated by Chen Qingmo using a mid-grade spirit stone in Huangzhong Gorge.

In an instant, Man Shou felt a suppressive force and a sharp aura.

The Gengjin Exorcising Formation has locked onto him. Unless he can escape to a hundred miles away in an instant, he will have to withstand this attack.

But this is an eighth-grade formation. As a barbarian cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, facing both the formation and Chen Weisheng's attack at the same time, he would surely die.

"Manyu, Zhanjun, come down and help me!" Manshou transmitted his voice to the two above, his voice filled with urgency.

Even though his totem, the white-faced black ape, could barely reach the Golden Core stage, he and the totem together were still no match for Chen Weisheng.

According to the elders of the barbarian tribe, Dongze County cannot be lost; they must take it.

Man Yu and Zhan Jun looked grim. The situation had been fraught with twists and turns these past few days. They had thought they had Dongze County in the bag, but their plans had been disrupted by this human who had suddenly broken through to a higher realm.

Moreover, the enemy also possesses an eighth-grade formation. If this cannot be resolved, Dongze County will absolutely not be able to be captured.

After using their most powerful techniques to defeat Zhou Tinglong and Sang Que, the two arrived near Man Shou.

They directly offered a drop of their essence blood to assist the barbarian in breaking the formation from the outside.

With the combined efforts of the three Golden Core cultivators, the trapping power of the Gengjin Exorcising Array instantly dissipated.

However, the formation has not disappeared and is still in effect.

"What should we do? Retreat and reconsider?" Zhan Jun transmitted his voice to his two companions, already indicating that he no longer wanted to fight.

By this time, they could sense that Chen Weisheng's body was declining, most likely due to the price he paid for forcibly advancing using a secret technique.

The three barbarian warriors were true Golden Core cultivators, posing no threat whatsoever. Leaving now and returning only after Chen Weisheng had become completely useless was clearly the best option.

"Okay, then..." Manyu and Manshou nodded, just about to agree.

Chen Weisheng made a hand seal, and the giant whale transformed from the Vast Ocean Sword swelled to a size of two hundred feet, sealing off this small area of ​​the world.

"Wei Sheng, are you out of your mind?!" Zhou Tinglong came to his disciple's side, looking at his bleeding mouth, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Previously, when he fought against the barbarian Golden Core cultivator, he was not particularly clear about Chen Weisheng's condition. Now that he was in front of him, he could see that his disciple's life force was waning and his days were numbered.

Previously, when he fought against the barbarian Golden Core cultivator, he was not particularly clear about Chen Weisheng's condition. Now that he was in front of him, he could see that his disciple's life force was waning and his days were numbered.

"Master, forget about that for now. I've trapped three barbarians with my natal immortal sword, and with the help of this eighth-grade formation, you and Sang Que should kill one of them as soon as possible, otherwise all my efforts will have been in vain!"

"Master, hurry!" Chen Weisheng's voice became urgent at the end.

Zhou Tinglong sighed, his eyes growing colder as he looked at the few barbarians who were being blocked, gritted his teeth, and drew his sword to kill them.

As one of the cultivators valued by Ning Hexing, Zhou Tinglong's understanding of swordsmanship was not bad.

With such a talented disciple as Chen Weisheng around, his position as master became less prominent.

However, Zhou Tinglong was also one of the disciples of Yuanjian Sect who entered Sword Valley. He was able to suppress Man Yu and Zhan Jun, who had cultivated in the Golden Core stage for decades, with his strength that was only recently achieved. This can be described as strong.

Now that the three barbarian Golden Core cultivators are trapped by Chen Weisheng's Vast Ocean Whale, their combined master-disciple techniques will amplify the power of their Surging Wave Sword Technique.

Zhou Tinglong narrowed his eyes and looked at Man Shou.

He also knew the move "The Waves Crash the Shore," but the effect was quite different from Chen Weisheng's.

If Chen Weisheng's sword intent is a boundless ocean, then Zhou Tinglong's sword intent is a raging torrent.

Compared to his disciples, his sword intent was more offensive.

A deep blue light flowed across the Sword of Surging Waves, making it even more dazzling.

The water converges to form a sword's edge, flowing at an extremely fast speed.

Zhou Tinglong raised his sword and slashed at Man Shou, his sword strike filled with intense killing intent.

Among the three Golden Core cultivators, although Man Shou's cultivation level was the lowest and his strength was even slightly weaker than Zhan Jun's, Zhou Tinglong had fought Zhan Jun for the longest time, and killing him would greatly reduce the pressure on Dongze County.

Therefore, using him as a breakthrough point is the most appropriate approach.

Moments later, Zhou Tinglong's Surging Wave Sword pierced through Zhan Jun's body.

"Human, you will die a horrible death!" Zhan Jun roared through gritted teeth, hurriedly activating the barbarian body-forging technique to try and heal his wounds.

But Zhou Tinglong will not let this happen.

He held the magic sword and thrust it out repeatedly.

Zhan Jun's injuries worsened, and his recovery was far slower than the rate at which he was injured.

He knew that if things continued like this, all three of them might die.

A resolute glint appeared in his eyes, and he transmitted his voice to Manyu and Manshou beside him: "Withdraw the troops! Have the tribe send more people!"

After saying that, Zhan Jun's body swelled up, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.

Blow up!

The power of a Golden Core cultivator's self-destruction is extremely strong.

Even with Zhou Tinglong and Chen Weisheng attacking together, plus the Gengjin Exorcising Evil Formation to resist, it was still difficult to defeat them.

Many Qi Refining cultivators who were close by were still crushed to ashes by the aftershocks, and even some Qi Refining cultivators in the distance suffered injuries.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two barbarian Golden Core cultivators quickly led their army to retreat.

The second battle in Dongze County ended with the death of a Golden Core cultivator from the barbarian tribe.

Without bothering to clean up the battlefield, Zhou Tinglong quickly came to Chen Weisheng's side, placed his palm on his disciple's shoulder, and carefully sensed the state of his body.

"How could this be? Wei Sheng, your lifespan is less than ten days. What secret technique did you use? Why did you do this?" Zhou Tinglong asked several questions at once.

He then took out a pill and put it in Chen Weisheng's mouth, but it had no effect.

Zhou Tinglong's expression turned solemn. He formed a hand seal and forced out a deep blue bead from his body.

The bead contained the Surging Wave Sword Essence, which he had condensed through cultivating the Surging Wave Sword Technique; it was an extremely precious item.

If given to others, it can improve their cultivation level.

For Chen Weisheng, who also practices the Surging Waves Sword Technique, this item should have the effect of restoring vital energy.

Under Zhou Tinglong's firm stance, Chen Weisheng took the medication.

However, the situation has not improved at all.

"Master, don't waste your energy. This sword essence consumes your own source power, so it's useless for me to consume it." Chen Weisheng bowed deeply to Zhou Tinglong with a grateful expression on his face.

Even at the cost of his own life force, he was willing to try to save his disciple. To Chen Weisheng, Zhou Tinglong's kindness was no different from that of a father.

"What kind of cultivation technique are you practicing? If I can't solve it, I'll take you to ask the sect leader to see if we can eliminate the side effects of the technique and restore your lifespan."

Zhou Tinglong looked anxious, wanting to know if he had ever heard of this technique so that he could cast it in advance to improve Chen Weisheng's condition.

Chen Weisheng paused for a moment, then said softly, "The technique I cultivate is called Mayfly. This information was hidden in the enlightenment of the Foundation Establishment cultivator I obtained at Shuangyang Ridge back then. It is a forbidden technique."
