Chapter 708: Great Slaughter in All Directions (28,000 Monthly Tickets Additional Update)

Pure Nine-Lotus Treasure Lamp: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine.

Under Chen Mobai's command, the five Foundation Establishment cultivators took their positions at the five cardinal points of the formation's energy shield.

The spiritual energy of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—interconnected. Augmented by the five hundred Qi Condensation cultivators, the five Foundation Establishment cultivators' auras instantly surged dramatically.

However, the number of cultivators forming the Five Elements Dao Soldiers was still insufficient. It couldn't help Chunyu Su and Zhu Xicheng, who were already at the peak of Foundation Establishment, achieve a breakthrough to experience the power of Core Formation.

Nevertheless, it allowed their long-stagnant spiritual power to advance a crucial half-step.

Taking this half-step also gave them a general idea of the direction they needed to take if they wished to achieve Core Formation.

As for Ning Leshan of the Metal Lineage, he directly reached the peak of Foundation Establishment with the help of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers. After returning, he would only need a period of seclusion to accumulate enough spiritual power to truly stabilize this realm.

On the Wood Lineage's side, Mu Yuan was in control of the Yang Wood Dao Soldiers.

It wasn't that Chen Mobai didn't care for his disciple; rather, they were currently in the most perilous situation since entering the Barren Ruin, and Mu Yuan could exert greater power by channeling the Dao Soldiers.

This arrangement had been agreed upon long ago.

Since entering the Barren Ruin, under Chen Mobai's command, all Foundation Establishment cultivators had tried harnessing the power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers to enhance themselves. The emphasis was on equitable distribution and fairness.

Liu Wenbai had also experienced the power of advancing to the late Foundation Establishment stage multiple times.

Due to his need to cultivate two different methods simultaneously using the Two-Phase Cultivation Method, coupled with his average talent, Liu Wenbai's cultivation speed had always been slow. He was still in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

However, as the master of Xiaonanshan Shop, his resources were unparalleled among all Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness. Although he didn't consume elixirs as per Chen Mobai's instructions, he had still cultivated his spiritual power to its bottleneck within eighteen years.

After returning this time, he should be able to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

With the Five Elements Dao Soldiers stationed at the five cardinal points, Chen Mobai only needed to activate his Yuanyang Sword Aura to slay any monsters that slipped through, immediately reducing his pressure significantly.

A pack of six-legged grey wolves, emanating Tier 2 fluctuations, flew in on currents of air, opening their maw to bite at the muddy-yellow Yang Earth Dao Soldier, revealing their fangs.

However, their bite only met with a clump of mud.

The Yang Earth Dao Soldier's entire body transformed into flexible mud, melting the moment it was bitten, then reforming into a muddy film that covered the monster's head.

With dull sounds of bones shattering, all the covered monster heads were crushed, losing their life force and falling to the ground.

Beside the Yang Earth Dao Soldier, vast amounts of water vapor gathered, forming water spheres that violently slammed into the bellies of the six-legged grey wolves.

The moment the water spheres touched the grey wolves, their blood seemed to be drawn out, then burst forth from their seven orifices as a mist of blood, transforming them into desiccated corpses.

At the same time, the Yang Fire Dao Soldier opened its mouth and spewed forth a torrent of flames, incinerating the countless brightly colored long snakes that hissed and shot through the air, turning them into charred remains.

Golden light then flashed across the sky, and incredibly sharp golden beams shot forth, piercing the hides of grey-black ox-demons, slicing them into pieces.

Mu Yuan, utilizing the Yang Wood Dao Soldiers, unfurled his treeseed. A Golden Yang Spirit Tree rooted itself on the ground, extending its branches and leaves, and simultaneously sheltering Chen Mobai and Yuan Zhen, who was holding the Azure Mirage Bottle.

He fully demonstrated the defensive capabilities of the Everlasting Life Scripture.

Any monsters attempting to bypass the Five Elements Dao Soldiers and charge in from the ground or sky were ensnared and immobilized by the growing branches before Chen Mobai even needed to act.

Then, golden light, water blades, and flames surged forth from all directions, instantly transforming these monsters into corpses.

In just a dozen breaths of time, the dozen or so attacking Tier 2 monsters were completely dealt with by Mu Yuan and the others.

Even the most ferocious six-legged grey wolves were almost entirely annihilated.

Just as Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, a thunderous roar echoed.

A grey-black horned ox, emitting Tier 3 pressure, charged forward, wielding immense thunder spiritual energy, and heavily slammed into the Yang Water Dao Soldier blocking its path!

"Sect Master Chen, the Azure Mirage Bottle targets monsters within the mist. Some might have been sleeping underground when I activated the artifact, thus escaping its effects," Yuan Zhen's faint voice transmitted to Chen Mobai's ear.

Yuan Zhen's somewhat weak voice resonated in Chen Mobai's ear, but he no longer had time to respond.

The Water Lineage's Foundation Establishment cultivator, whose cultivation was insufficient, screamed the moment he clashed with the Tier 3 ox-demon. As his Dao Soldier was shattered by the ox's horn, his spiritual power surged in reverse, he lost control, bled from his seven orifices, and fell unconscious.

Chen Mobai immediately pointed a finger, and a brilliant stream of orange-red light traced an arc through the air, instantly landing before the monster and circling its thick neck.

Amidst a flash of blood-red light, the Tier 3 ox-demon's body shimmered with a hazy earthen glow, somehow blocking the Yuanyang Sword Aura and avoiding decapitation.

Chen Mobai frowned, watching as the Extreme Yang Slash was about to unleash.

*Rumble!*

The ground cracked open, and an enormous hundred-legged centipede burst forth, toppling the Golden Yang Spirit Tree that Mu Yuan had just rooted. It then opened its razor-sharp fangs, lunging to bite Yuan Zhen, who held the jade bottle.

Chen Mobai could only redirect the Extreme Yang Slash. A faint white light descended from the sky, cleaving the massive centipede monster that had appeared into two halves from head to tail.

But at that moment, the ox-demon had already charged forward.

Its deep black horn flickered with dark lightning, heavily striking towards Chen Mobai.

He could easily evade it using the Underworld Grand Formation, but Yuan Zhen was right behind him.

Chen Mobai's brows furrowed slightly as he considered the situation. Although he felt that with the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect's profound heritage, Yuan Zhen wouldn't entrust her life entirely to him and surely had life-saving measures,

since he had accepted her spirit stones, he had to do his best.

Chen Mobai used his divine sense to command the Five Elements Sect cultivators to continue deploying Dao Soldiers to intercept the monsters, instructing another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Water Lineage to take over the Yang Water Dao Soldier, and simultaneously ordering them to allow any Tier 3 monsters to pass through to him.

Then, a vibrant five-colored stream of Qi surged from his palm as he reached out and grasped the charging ox horn.

The moment they made contact, the earthy lightning instantly dissipated.

Primordial Chaos True Qi spread from his palm, quickly enveloping the entire ox-demon and dissolving all the earth essence from its body.

Chen Mobai's divine sense flickered, and the incredibly swift orange-red light instantly returned, circling the ox's neck once more.

Amidst a gush of blood, the Tier 3 ox-demon, now without its essence protection, could no longer withstand the Yuanyang Sword Aura's decapitating strike. Its horn, along with its head, was severed by Chen Mobai.

After slaying two Tier 3 monsters consecutively, Chen Mobai felt that nearly half of the spiritual power in his dantian sea of Qi had been consumed. Just as he was contemplating a brief respite,

*Rumble, rumble, rumble!*

The ground suddenly trembled. Two colossal apes, as tall as mountains, stomped their way from the distance, roaring as they led their kin and charged towards them.

They were the two Mountain Apes he and Yuan Zhen had previously shaken off.

With every step they took, the ground quaked.

"Sect Master Chen, my Bi Yuan sword is a Tier 4 artifact. By burning a drop of my essence blood, I can unleash a Tier 4 sword technique. Please guard me for a moment."

At this point, seeing the two Mountain Apes approaching, Yuan Zhen grew restless. Although activating the Azure Mirage Bottle had almost depleted her spiritual power, she still wanted to lend a hand.

After all, she was most aware of the strength of these two Mountain Apes: thick-skinned, powerfully built, and brimming with vital energy, they were practically the overlords of this desolate ruin.

Yuan Zhen even suspected that the monsters in the Barren Ruin were forced to hide within the mirage mist due to the pressure exerted by these two peak Tier 3 Mountain Apes.

Chen Mobai's recent slaying of two Tier 3 monsters made her feel inadequate, but she was keenly aware of the spiritual power cost for a Core Formation cultivator to unleash a Tier 4 ultimate move.

In her opinion, after consecutively employing the Extreme Yang Slash and Primordial Chaos True Qi, Chen Mobai's spiritual power would surely be insufficient to slay these two Mountain Apes as well.

She could burn a drop of her essence blood to unleash a world-shaking sword technique.

It would be better for Chen Mobai to conserve his spiritual power to deal with any potential future Tier 3 monsters, or even the countless monsters surging in from all directions.

"True Person Yuan, please wait a moment. I'll be right back!"

But regarding Yuan Zhen's plan, Chen Mobai merely said this with his back to her.

Then, he took a single step, already standing in front of the two Mountain Apes.

During this process, a minor void within one of Chen Mobai's external incarnations opened, and pure Yang spiritual power poured out, replenishing his dantian sea of Qi to the brim.

*Boom, boom, boom!*

The two Mountain Apes pounded their chests, clenched their fists, leaped across the ground, and swung their arms in a cross pattern, lunging at Chen Mobai!

Then, Yuan Zhen saw a faint white light slash horizontally, severing the two colossal fists that had lunged towards Chen Mobai, cutting them off at the wrist.

Amidst two furious roars, the Mountain Apes unleashed nearly Tier 4 pressure, seemingly activating their innate divine abilities. They swung their other two fists, forcefully shattering the Extreme Yang Slash that was aimed at their heads.

Witnessing this, Yuan Zhen gritted her teeth, preparing to burn her essence blood to activate her flying sword!

*Rumble!*

Suddenly, a thunderous roar reverberated through the sky.

The void opened, and Chen Mobai drew forth a long sword wreathed in purple lightning. Accompanied by an arc of purple sword qi, it had already sliced open the fist of the foremost Mountain Ape.

With the Purple Lightning Sword in hand, Chen Mobai wielded lightning in mid-air, like a god of thunder.

After one sword, another followed, a total of three strikes, completely shattering the protective demonic qi of both Mountain Apes. Then, with the fourth strike, one Mountain Ape was slain.

Another minor void within an external incarnation opened, and after his pure Yang spiritual power was fully replenished, Chen Mobai unleashed his fifth strike.

The second Mountain Ape crashed to the ground!

The entire ground vibrated continuously, as if a violent earthquake had occurred.

Although the strength of these two Mountain Apes was somewhat beyond Chen Mobai's expectations, for him, after drawing his sword, it was merely a minor interlude!
