Vol 5 Chapter 111: No Killing for Those Who Retreat
“What kind of demon is this—”
Wen Changge’s heart pounded in alarm.
Staring at the small ice spider flying nearby, he couldn’t believe that the strange sword intent just now was actually released by it.
“Didn’t I already tell you, you Gu granny!”
The Ice Soul Gu was particularly arrogant.
After digesting the sword cultivation seed from Demon Emperor Tianchou, its power had leaped forward by leaps and bounds!
In fact, the boost from digesting that sword cultivation seed was even greater than the upgrade brought by ascending to an immortal-blooded lineage.
When Demon Emperor Tianchou has good stuff, she really gives it!
“Your bones are pretty tough, actually able to purify the poison I attached.”The Ice Soul Gu continued its mouthy taunts.
It admitted that Wen Changge did have some skill.
Not only could he dodge its sword intent, but the poison in the sword intent that invaded through the opponent’s hair roots was instantly purified by a mysterious force.
No surprise, it must be the Eternal Immortal Bone within him.
Within the Eternal Immortal Bone was the Dao resonance passed down by the Wen family ancestors, including definitely some resonance that restrained poison.
It seemed that to poison this guy, one must injure his immortal bone.
“Immortal Bone Dharma Image!”
Wen Changge didn’t recognize the Ice Soul Gu. After all, in the Origin Realm, the Ice Soul Gu was always bound to Mo Yu, rarely revealing its true form in battle.
But since the Ice Soul Gu came out from the Nether Earth, Wen Changge guessed it was Lin Jing’s pet beast.
This Lin Jing... actually sent out a pet beast to deal with him.
Boom!
In the next moment, Wen Changge unleashed his Dharma Image. However, his Dharma Image was quite different from ordinary Nascent Soul Dharma Images. The golden Dharma Image, hundreds of meters tall, was not just made of spiritual power but also supported internally by countless golden skeletons, making it look like a gigantic skeletal phantom.
Within the Immortal Bone Dharma Image, Wen Changge smashed out his arm, and the giant arm of the Dharma Image also struck toward the Ice Soul Gu.
On the other side, the Ice Soul Gu floated in the air. Its eight spider legs dropped spider silk, and at the ends of the silk were Gu poison swords of various colors.
The spider silk swung, and eight flying swords directly confronted the Dharma Image’s fist. With a “ka” sound, the flying swords embedded into the arm bone, shattering part of the bone, but failed to stop the giant fist’s advance.
“Try this!”
The Ice Soul Gu input a more primal poison through the silk. Compared to just touching the hair earlier, now that the opponent’s Immortal Bone Dharma Image was broken, the poison had more room to spread.
“This is...” Wen Changge furrowed his brows, seeing the Dharma Image’s fist about to hit the Ice Soul Gu, but he immediately dispersed the Dharma Image. He originally thought the opponent’s poison path level was limited, but unexpectedly, after the Ice Soul Gu injected a more primal poison with its immortal-blooded lineage, it could even affect the immortal bone!
During his attack, the poison simultaneously corroded the Dharma Image. If he insisted on continuing to collide, the poison would inevitably invade his bone marrow. Wen Changge didn’t want this broken spider to affect his condition.
“Who exactly is he.”
Fan Yuanmei understood—when did such a demon spider appear in the Origin Realm, actually able to confront me?
“Weren’t you just calling for my master to come out? Is this all your strength?”
The Gu granny continued to mock, causing Wen Changge to let out a long breath. It seemed Lin Jing was far more powerful than rumors suggested... but no one told him there was such a defiant sword Gu.
“Since you all are stubborn and refuse to negotiate, there’s nothing left to discuss.”
“Lin Jing, if you do not show yourself and give an explanation, then we will start the battle.”
He took out a military flag and placed it beside him. Seeing no response within the Nether Earth, Wen Changge directly burned the flag!
Hum!
In the next instant, countless spatial formations appeared above the sky outside of the Nether King.
One after another, cultivators dressed in silver armor emerged.
These Nascent Soul prodigies each wore an exquisite armor-class treasure, and these armors seemed to come from the same origin, resonating with each other. Each armor was connected by chain Dao patterns, strengthening the spiritual power of every cultivator.
Wen Changge himself also summoned a silver armor, but this silver battle armor was a step above the ordinary cultivators’, an immortal artifact.
In a moment, thousands of Nascent Soul prodigies from countless realms formed multiple square formations, flying on swords behind Wen Changge with overwhelming momentum and fierce battle intent.
To solve the big troublemaker Lin Jing, Zhou Banxian directly provided a set of immortal armor formation and sent it into the Origin Realm.
“The onlookers, could it be they want to profit from this? Lin Jing, this demon plague, breaks the Origin Realm’s rules, intending to monopolize the Origin Sources and cut off the path to immortality, truly a villain.”
“Why not join forces to capture him, returning a bright and fair Origin Realm? Then no matter what faction, all would still have equal chances to obtain mountain sources.”
Wen Changge had already noticed that besides the Cultivation Alliance’s main army outside the Nether King, many cultivators and even spirit beasts hid secretly.
However, after he proposed the suggestion, these beasts and cultivators obviously had no intention to intervene, wanting to watch the tiger fight from the sidelines.
Seeing this, Wen Changge snorted coldly and didn’t mind. Now that the immortal armor on him and the treasure armors on the multirealm coalition army existed, even looking at the Cultivation Alliance and Heavenly Demon Realm’s frontline battlefield, they were infinite.
These powerful weapons that should be used on the frontline were partly used to deal with Lin Jing, because Lin Jing had pushed the Origin Realm’s affairs too far.
That was fine—it allowed the Cultivation Alliance to be the first to receive Lin Jing’s relics.
“You Gu granny...”
At this moment, even the Ice Soul Gu was a bit headache-stricken. Facing Wen Changge alone was manageable, but now, was the other side a bit too many? One set of immortal armor, ten sets of quasi-immortal armor, thousands of sets of exquisite treasure armor, all interconnected. Earlier, the Ice Soul Gu tried using the colorless Wind Gu poison, but the resonance among these armors could even ignore poison.
“Kill!!!”
At Wen Changge’s order, the many Nascent Soul prodigies flew out in unison. Among them, some did not want to participate in this campaign, after all, Origin Sources had nothing to do with them no matter what.
But being inside the system, they had no choice. Besides, Alliance Leader Zhou promised countless benefits, forcing them to stand against Lin Jing.
“Ah, offending you.”
Among the coalition army, there were those who knew Lin Jing, such as Yan Yunshuang, the Administration Hall leader wearing quasi-immortal armor, and the Nascent Soul prodigies resurrected by the Nether Earth, but now, under Zhou Banxian’s command, they had to raise their weapons.
“This this this...”
Originally, Lady Nethersoil was very surprised when she saw the Ice Soul Gu block Wen Changge, but the subsequent developments made her scalp tingle. In all her years in the Origin Realm, when had she ever seen such a formation? Even when the Cultivation Alliance fought the two great Immortal Spirits, they never deployed such a large-scale army.
However, faced with this situation, Lin Jing was not flustered but instead smiled.
“Well played.”
“Lady, look, do these people not look like pure, shiny resources?”
“Sect Master?”
Lady Nethersoil looked toward Lin Jing, who slowly spoke and emitted divine sound.
Seeing him, her eyes held no fear, only anticipation.
“Those who retreat... will not be killed. Those who enter the Nether Earth... die!” Lin Jing gave the order to the enemy army.
