Chapter 1792: Chapter 601: Slaying Demons, Yue Country Defeated! "This kind of pioneering war is simply a ruthless meat grinder..." Lu Changsheng stood over the corpse of a Quasi-Third Rank Bull Demon, gazing at the carnage before him, the field strewn with bodies and severed limbs, a heaviness settling in his heart. After eighty years of cultivation, he had become accustomed to the cycle of life and death, experiencing countless separations through death. Yet, witnessing such wars, his heart still filled with melancholy. "And this is merely an ordinary pioneering battle of Jiang Country, where they hold absolute advantage." "If it were a major pioneering war or one that swept through the entire Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, how brutal would it be?" Lu Changsheng thought of the future possibility of the Demon Path Seven Sects War. Ancient texts sum it up with just a few words—devastation and widespread wailing. Without firsthand experience, it’s difficult to truly grasp the cruelty within. Not far away, Lu Wangshu felt the same, her mood heavy. She had been showered with affection since childhood, never having experienced adversity. Though familiar with battles and conflicts, having seen the strife between family forces, nothing compared to the direct impact of such war. The cultivator army and the beast tide clashed head-on, magical techniques, and spiritual lights crisscrossing and colliding, illuminating the battlefield like night and day. Despite the Human Race having a great advantage, once a Second Rank Top Level Great Demon appeared, the powerful impact would send many energy refining cultivators flying like autumn leaves swept by the wind, seriously wounded, some even coughing blood and dying. With luck, they might wait for the medical team to arrive and rescue them. Unfortunate ones could perish outright in the aftermath of the battle. "Boom boom boom—" As the war raged on, days later, the once clear sky gradually became shrouded in a thick layer of ominous clouds. "Boom! Boom! Boom boom!" Deafening sounds erupted, the earth starting to tremble violently. From far to near, many felt a heavy and oppressive aura spreading forth. Lu Changsheng stood high in the sky, gazing far ahead, only to see a gigantic black mountain-like figure stepping forward on four colossal legs. Boom! Boom! Boom! With each step it took, countless dust and rubble splattered, leaving huge craters on the ground, causing tremors in its wake. Lu Changsheng recognized it as a Mysterious Turtle Demon King. Besides the turtle, there was an elusive and strange demon presence lurking within the mountain-like turtle shell. "Everyone, stay alert, initiate the defense array!" Lu Changsheng promptly spoke to the Foundation Establishment cultivators commanding the battle. If the main force continued to press forward, the aftermath of the war between Nascent Soul cultivators and the Demon King would surely result in heavy casualties. As his words fell, he gently lifted the talisman brush, sketching a massive green talisman in the void, transforming into a life-embracing spiritual light, healing the cultivators on the field. With the appearance of the Mysterious Turtle Demon King, Qingyun Sect had long prepared four Nascent Soul Immortals to confront the turtle. "Boom boom boom—" War erupts instantly! Watching the clashes between both sides, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but frown slightly. Weak! Truly too weak! The strength of these Nascent Soul Immortals from Qingyun Sect was rather average. If he made a move, just a single Yin Yang Qi Grasp would capture and suppress all four of them. Seeing them jointly suppress the Mysterious Turtle Demon King, battling on even terms, Lu Changsheng could only shake his head. But he also understood that he couldn’t compare these cultivators with himself. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators find it challenging to defeat a demon king of equal level. Even if they could kill it, the price would be too dear, not worth the effort. Only someone like him, who could capture and suppress a Demon King without injury, could regard the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and Great Dream Marsh as a personal backyard. Just when the four Nascent Soul Immortals completely suppressed the Mysterious Turtle Demon King, a terrifying breath echoed forth. "Hiss hiss hiss—" A dark shadow emerged, suddenly striking at one Nascent Soul Immortal, shattering his body-protecting magic barrier, making him cough blood and fly away. "So there was indeed a Third Rank Demon King lurking." "Shadow Underworld Snake, with its unique talent, can perfectly conceal its aura when motionless, attacking unsuspectingly." Lu Changsheng had sensed the peculiar presence within the mountain-like shell of the Mysterious Turtle Demon King earlier. Only, from afar, he hadn’t looked closely, unaware of the specific situation. Now it seemed this Demon King was rather smart, knowing to use such tactics. "Wangshu, take care of yourself." Lu Changsheng instructed his daughter nearby, before shooting toward the frontline fast. Even if he didn’t act, other members of the Qingyun Sect would rush in support. But in such warfare, even minor changes or accidents could lead to many low rank cultivators perishing miserably. Witnessing the cruelty of war, Lu Changsheng couldn’t bear it and was willing to exert a little more effort where possible. Not for anything else, just for his peace of mind, for his thoughts to become clear. Not only Lu Changsheng, but also Xiao Xiyue and several other False Core Immortals, upon seeing the situation ahead, swiftly charged forth... This kind of unexpected scenario needed resolving promptly to prevent further complications. Besides, they had reason to act, to claim their share from the Demon King. "Demon Suppression Talisman!" Lu Changsheng arrived first on the battlefield, his Qi Ocean Core Yin Yang magic power transformed instantly into an overwhelming mystical talisman power, as his talisman pen magical treasure sketched a gigantic magic talisman, suppressing the Mysterious Turtle Demon King. Though he hadn’t condensed a Life-bound Divine Talisman, he was able to unleash seventy to eighty percent of the power of this technique with his cultivation realm.
