Chapter 619: Refining 100,000 Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers

The members of Lingxiao Pavilion were given their assignments and entered the War Fortress.

Only a small group remained behind to guard Barbarian King City.

The once-bustling Barbarian King City had become eerily empty in the blink of an eye.

'The Endless Wilderness... things are about to change!'

'We have to find a way to get this information out of here, so the Sects can prepare.'

The Cultivators from other factions hiding in Barbarian King City were all thinking the same thing. The Barbarian God Battle Platform, the sudden appearance of Lingxiao Pavilion, and all the recent upheavals had left them reeling.

Lingxiao Pavilion was a particular shock. No one had paid them any mind before, but now they had revealed themselves to be a slumbering behemoth, ready to devour anyone at any moment!

So, they were all scrambling to find a way to report what had transpired.

Meanwhile, inside the Barbarian God Battle Platform.

The Giant Spirit Clan, the Lingxiao Army, the Blood Feather Tower, and the members of Lingxiao Pavilion had all gone inside.

They all stood on a massive plaza, their gazes sweeping across the surroundings in astonishment. Everyone was amazed!

'This place is simply a perfect training ground!'

Gazing at the facilities before them, the soldiers of the Lingxiao Army thought, 'These facilities are so comprehensive. They were clearly designed for building an army.'

"What is this place?"

The Blood Feather Three Guards from the Blood Feather Tower asked in amazement, having never seen a place like it.

Mengyun Pojun wasn't sure either, so he turned to Mengyun Wulei at his side.

"Father, this is a War Fortress!"

Ye Wushuang had revealed some information to her before they arrived, but even she didn't know the full details of this place.

"What's a War Fortress?"

The members of Lingxiao Pavilion were stunned into silence, feeling as though they were in a dream.

"A War Fortress is a terrifying weapon of war. Only an empire that rules an entire Realm can build one. You can garrison troops and train soldiers within it. It's like a war machine, forging fearsome warriors to conquer the heavens!"

The Craftsman Emperor stepped forward and explained everything he knew.

The more they listened, the more shocked they became. There was no doubt about it—this place was a War Fortress!

"But if the Pavilion Master possessed such a heaven-defying artifact, why didn't he bring it out sooner? We could have been improving our strength all this time," one of Lingxiao Pavilion's members asked.

The Craftsman Emperor replied, "It's not that he wouldn't bring it out. Activating a War Fortress requires an astronomical amount of energy. I suspect that when he left the Endless Wilderness, it was to solve this very problem."

"That's right. The Pavilion Master planned for all of this, including the growth of Lingxiao Pavilion. Without his support, we never would have gotten this far."

"Everything he did was in preparation for this moment," Feng Jue's deep voice rang out.

Hearing Feng Jue's reply, the Craftsman Emperor's heart trembled. 'That kid... he really thinks far ahead! Such foresight... it's truly terrifying!'

The Star Elder smiled faintly. 'So everything was under his control all along. He even kept me, his master, in the dark. That boy truly astonishes me.' Now he understood why Ye Wushuang had been so confident before.

Perhaps no one else realized it, but from the very beginning, Ye Wushuang had been scheming. His target, however, was the heavens themselves!

"The War Fortress has three levels," the Craftsman Emperor added. "This is the first. There should be two more."

RUMBLE!

The moment he finished speaking, the sky trembled. An Eternal Celestial Ladder extended down from above!

"Let's go up!"

The Craftsman Emperor and the Star Elder led the way. Everyone stepped onto the Celestial Ladder and hurried toward a Heaven-Reaching Light Gate.

After passing through the Light Gate, they found themselves in what seemed like another, perfect world.

This world was lush and verdant, overflowing with Spiritual Qi. Palaces and houses were scattered across the landscape like stars in the sky, making it feel like a separate kingdom.

At the center of this kingdom, a figure in purple robes floated in the void with his arms outstretched. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was enveloped in endless Divine Light, giving him an extraordinary and mystical aura.

"Pavilion Master!"

"Military Commander!"

"Lord Barbarian Emperor!"

A series of different titles rang out as everyone stared up at the sky.

SWISH!

Suddenly, Ye Wushuang's eyes snapped open, blazing with a brilliant divine light!

'I've finally completed the last stage of Refinement. From now on, I have absolute control over this War Fortress!'

With a single thought, Ye Wushuang could sense the slightest change in any corner of the War Fortress.

"By now, you should all know what this place is and what it's for."

"The War Fortress. This is where you will all grow stronger. Here, I will use every resource at my disposal to shape you into invincible warriors!"

"I am giving you one year. When that year is up, I expect you not to disappoint me. Every single one of you must achieve a breakthrough. Can you do it?!"

Ye Wushuang's resonant voice boomed, reaching the ears of every person present.

"We can!"

All eyes were fixed on Ye Wushuang as they roared their response in a powerful, unified chorus.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang nodded.

He then proceeded to assign their duties.

Mengyun Wulei was put in charge of the living quarters on the second level, assisted by Qianling and Ye Rou.

As for Blood Feather Tower, it would be led by Mengyun Pojun.

As for the Giant Spirit Clan, in addition to Pann Xing, there were twenty Nirvana Great Powers who had come from the Ancestral Land. They were tasked with leading the one thousand Giant Spirit Warriors.

Ye Wushuang merged the Lingxiao Army and Lingxiao Pavilion into a single force one hundred thousand strong, the majority of whom were Loose Cultivators.

They would be led by five commanders: Feng Jue, Jian Bufan, Su Mu, Xiang Tianxiao, and Qiu Mo!

The Craftsman Emperor and his master, the Star Elder, were put in charge of forging the Half-Saint Armor. All the Profound Wood Black Gold had already been transported to Barbarian King City, and with access to the fortress's resources, there should be no issues.

"Kid, everything is set up now. You need to figure out how to prepare for your own breakthrough," the Dragon Cat said to Ye Wushuang.

"I know. Let's go to the third level first."

Ye Wushuang understood what the Dragon Cat meant. Breaking through to the Nirvana realm involved facing the Three-Nine Celestial Tribulation. It was fraught with peril, and if he wasn't prepared, he would be annihilated, Holy Body or not.

To be safe, his only option was to achieve Refinement of the Heaven-Reaching Sword Array on the third level!

If he could achieve Refinement over this heaven-defying artifact, his chances of survival would be much higher!

With that thought, Ye Wushuang entered the third level!

"Tsk tsk tsk, one hundred thousand Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers. Even though they're just Pseudo-Saint Dao Weapons, their power is unimaginable. And if they evolve into true Holy Dao Soldiers in the future... hehe, kid, I, Lord Cat, would bet that you could kill a Saint in a single blow!"

The Dragon Cat's shifty eyes darted about, gleaming with mischief.

"You just stay put and behave yourself!"

Ye Wushuang shot the Dragon Cat an irritated glare. The creature had sticky fingers; if it messed with the Sword Array, both of them would be done for.

Then, he turned his attention to the one hundred thousand Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers.

'If I try to achieve Refinement on all of them at once, my Divine Sense will probably be completely depleted before I'm even close to finished.'

'But trying to do it one by one is also extremely dangerous. If I break the balance, a hundred thousand Slaying Swords will rain down, and not even my Holy Body will save me.'

"Kid, try using that beat-up tomb of yours to suppress it first, then slowly work on the Refinement," the Dragon Cat said abruptly.

The Chaos Dragon Tomb!

The idea flashed through Ye Wushuang's mind. If he could suppress the array, he wouldn't have to worry about breaking its balance.

He now had a decent amount of control over the Chaos Dragon Tomb. Suppressing the Heaven-Reaching Sword Array shouldn't be a problem.

With this in mind, Ye Wushuang summoned the Chaos Dragon Tomb. As expected, it didn't disappoint him. The Chaos Dragon Tomb enveloped the Heaven-Reaching Sword Array, completely suppressing it.

With that done, Ye Wushuang began the Refinement process. Once he succeeded, not even the Nine Heavens Thunder Slaughter would be able to touch him!
