Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1067: The Crisis Approaching
Tang Xiu frowned and explained, “I got a premonition from the battle yesterday that this demonic beast has another purpose to attack the blockade line. And their goal is to kill me. ”
Hearing his explanation, Duanmu Lin stared blankly and said in disbelief, “You said they wanted to kill you, so they launched an attack yesterday?”
“Yes, it's likely I can't ignore it.” Tang Xiu nodded. “I observed the ground fight very clearly. The strongest among the demon beasts was at the Golden Core Stage, but the number of flying demon beasts was only 400, with ten of them at the Golden Core Stage. However, when I fought against ten of them, there was a hiding flying demon beast that suddenly attacked me, and its strength was on par with the cultivators on the Nascent Soul Stage. ”
“What? !!” Duanmu Lin exclaimed warily. “A demonic beast comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage expert appears? Was it ... because a demonic super beast whose strength was more formidable than a Nascent Soul Stage expert? ”
“It's true.” Tang Xiu nodded. “When my cultivation broke through, a certain demonic super beast appeared at the blockade line. I could feel from his aura that it was not a demonic beast with strength at the Nascent Soul Stage. If my guess is correct, his strength may have reached the Spirit Formation Stage. ”
“Roh ... Spirit Formation Stage?”
Disbelief completely covered Duanmu Lin's face. Her heart fell to the bottom the longer Tang Xiu revealed the speculation. It must be noted that the most powerful cultivator in this place was Tang Xiu. However his strength was only comparable to Nascent Soul's initial stage.
‘In case ... certain demonic super beasts in the Spirit Formation Stage attack us, how can we fight back? Coupled with the thousands of other demonic beasts, let alone the current line of defense, the horde of demonic beasts would easily pierce through it, and their attacks would definitely slaughter all the cultivators here. ‘
Once that happens, it will be the end of humanity. Duanmu Lin and a large number of experts from the Special Ability Bureau, as well as other experts from China, speculated that even if the strongest demonic beast was on the Nascent Soul Stage, it was not, even modern weapons would have difficulty killing them. Even a missile would not be enough.
However, there was still ... one in the Spirit Formation Stage …
All this speculation made Duanmu Lin's heart love the dead ash. He was very clear that it was impossible to kill demonic beasts at the Spirit Formation Stage unless they used nuclear weapons. Even if they were to use a nuclear bomb, the probability of killing it would not be more than 80%. In other words, there is still a 20% chance that it will fail.
“Does Heaven want us to perish?”
Duanmu Lin's lips wriggled. He looked decades older.
After noticing Duanmu Lin's change in aura, Tang Xiu immediately said, “Senior Duanmu, I might speculate that there should be some demonic super beasts comparable to Spirit Formation Stage experts. But that doesn't mean we don't have hope anymore. I still have some cards that can ensure the safety of mankind. But I will definitely be affected after using it. ”
Duanmu Lin's face changed drastically. She didn't care about losing Tang Xiu, so she hurriedly asked, “What card? Tell me, Tang Xiu. What kind of card do you have? ”
“That's the last choice. I wouldn't use it unless the situation spelled otherwise. “Tang Xiu forced a wry smile and said,” Besides, it doesn't mean I have no other way to exterminate a Spirit Formation Stage demonic beast. ”
“There is still hope to kill that demonic super beast even without using your trump card?” Asked Duanmu Lin hurriedly. “Tang Xiu, quickly tell me, what is this method?”
“I'm waiting for someone. If he can arrive in time, maybe I don't need to use my trump card. “Tang Xiu lightly smiled and said,” Senior Duanmu, please don't ask again. All you have to do is exert your strength and find out when those demonic beasts will launch another attack.
“This ... alright!”
Duanmu Lin suppressed his confusion and left. Regardless of everything, it could be said Tang Xiu had given him a convincing countermeasure. He was not worried about the outcome because he believed that Tang Xiu would not make fun of his own life.
A week passed and there were no demonic beast movements at all. It seemed like they had become silent and no one had appeared at the blockade line. Even the scouting tools placed in the depths of the Himalayas could only occasionally see a few demonic beasts before they quickly disappeared.
However, such a situation made everyone realize that this must be the calm before the storm. The next attack from that demonic beast would most likely be extremely overwhelming.
Tang Xiu himself did not stay silent this week. He spent his time cultivating to increase his own strength as well as teaching some secret arts to some of the Tang Sect disciples, so that they could master it quickly. At the same time, he also spent two days to set up a huge geomancy array that stretched for 6-plus kilometers along the blockade line. The array would trap demonic beasts, whether they were attacking from the East, West, or even the Mid Front.
Behind the front of the blockade line.
Tang Xiu put on a serious face as he spoke, “You must remember that you are responsible for leading the line. Meaning you will stimulate all the power that this geomancy array can release. Unless we are in a very dire situation that forces us to activate this last attempt, you do not need to ignore this array.
“If you want to survive and live longer, then use this geomancy array to kill that demonic beast. The more demon monsters you kill using this array, the higher the chance for you to survive. I will also control a much larger and powerful array. But once the array under your control is compromised, I'll immediately take it from you. I hope you all won't let me down, so don't disappoint all the allies of the cultivators in the blockade line! ”
The eight cultivators at the Golden Core Stage were aided by the other six at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment. These 14 people crossed their hands behind their backs, standing firmly with resolute and resolute gazes, reply loudly, “We will never disappoint Sect Master Tang and everyone else!”
Tang Xiu slowly nodded and said with satisfaction, Your “Name might be recorded in the historical record later and it might be remembered in the future. You may also only be remembered by those in the cultivation world and no one else will know who we are after we leave. You will be a hero. It is a fact that nothing can change. I, Tang Xiu, hope to fight alongside all of you! ”
“Come fight side by side!” Shouted 14 people loudly.
These cultivators were from some Taoist and Buddhist schools and some martial artists who had entered the cultivation path. Their similarity was that they were greatly influenced by Tang Xiu. Not only did they have deep admiration for him, but they also developed warrior-like attitudes and behaviors like Tang Xiu.
Time passed quickly and two more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the military tent, Tang Xiu was sitting cross-legged while secretly communicating with the stars in the universe. He was constantly absorbing the astral power of the universe which turned him into his own power to use. At the same time, he also spent 108 Demon Cores to set up the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array. After devouring all of the demonic power contained within Demon Cores, the array itself automatically dispersed.
‘The Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis is truly worthy of being called the best cultivation art ever created by Devils and Gods with an extremely fast cultivation speed. Not long to cultivate here, right? But my strength increased greatly, at least twice as strong. I think I can also kill experts in the late stages of Nascent Soul right now. If ... I encounter a powerful enemy at the Spirit Formation Stage, I might even be able to fight them, albeit barely. But still, it is difficult to say whether I will be defeated or not. ‘
Tang Xiu floated up and departed. As he left the tent, he looked at Xue Sha and Hei Xiong, who were standing tall and waiting for him outside. There were also many Tang Sect disciples around with envious looks on their faces.
“You..”.
Just as Tang Xiu spoke, he immediately felt the aura released by the two men. A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face as he nodded and smilingly said, “What a pleasure! You're both great! I don't expect you to be the second and third disciple to advance to the Golden Core Stage. I'm now announcing that you're promoted to the Elder of the Tang Sect Guard. You can go to Mo Awu later to claim your prize. He'll hand it to you. ”
Xue Sha and Hei Xiong exchanged looks. Although they already knew that they would become the Tang Sect's Guardian Elder and also obtain a handsome reward, hearing the direct confirmation from Sect Master Tang Xiu himself made them very excited.
“Sect Master.” Mo Awu floated from afar and was greeted with respect as he came in front of Tang Xiu.
“Give them their rewards and celebrate their progress to the Golden Core Stage. Furthermore, they would become Tang Sect elders later on. The Four of you were the first to break through, so you are all now Elders and need to discuss more matters in the future. ”
“Understanding!”
Mo Awu smiled and nodded at Xue Sha and Hei Xiong. Then, his eyes returned to Tang Xiu again, saying, “Sovereign, I just received word that Chi Nan and Kuwako Yamamoto have also broken through to the Golden Core Stage.”
Tang Xiu stared blankly. He was not surprised by the news that Chi Nan had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, but why was Kuwako's cultivation speed so fast?
Initially, he accepted it as his subordinate to carry out his plan in Japan, which would take some power there under his control in the future. It was all to plunder some of the resources he needed from Japan, but now it seemed like he should no longer treat him as an outsider. With such cultivation speed, as long as he worked harder later, he could also become his right arm.
“Awu, contact Chi Nan, Kuwako, Guang, and An. Tell them to come straight here. It is very likely that the next days will be our last fight here. Our chances of survival would increase if they all came, and we could also reduce the casualties from our other disciples. ”
“How about Jin Shi? Do you want him back too? ”Tanya Mo Awu hurry.
“Have Jin Shi advanced to the Golden Core Stage?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“I haven't heard from you.” Mo Awu shook his head.
Tang Xiu sighed inwardly. He remembered that Jin Shi had long followed him. He also occasionally gave him private lessons and even rewarded him with many cultivation resources. Jin Shi should have been listed as the first six to have broken through to the Golden Core Stage. It was rather unexpected that he ended up disappointing her.
“Do not tell him first. He's on a mission right now. ”
Mo Awu nodded wordlessly. Then, he said, “Then, I will immediately pass on your message to others.”
