Chapter 631 - 288: If Someone Has to Step Forward, Why Can’t It Be Me? (Part 2)

He could feel that his foolish apprentice definitely hadn’t practiced any demon skills; everything was naturally falling into place.

With this transformation, the Foundation Establishment Dao was laid bare before him.

With such a translucent Exquisite Heart Realm, even challenging the Golden Core wasn’t entirely impossible!

Damn it...

Duan Chaolong was paralyzed, he really wanted to curse now.

No wonder it was a gift from the Dragon Emperor, it sure was amazing.

It could even achieve the legendary defying fate, taking the weakest Mixed Spirit Root and allowing it to step into the heavens!

But what’s the use of this crap!

If he went to a meat-grinder-like battlefield in the Far North, forget challenging the Golden Core, it’s uncertain whether he could even see the sun tomorrow alive!

Liu Erniu seemed to suddenly get smart and gave a deep bow to the elder: "Old sir, dare I ask if there is a Teleportation Array nearby?"

The elder chuckled: "Go northwest, walk twenty miles, there’s a Teleportation Array outside Daze City that the Immortal Dao Alliance specifically built for evacuating mortals. But as for whether you can use it, I’m not sure."

"Thank you!"

Liu Erniu sincerely thanked him, then turned to kneel before Duan Chaolong, performing the ceremonial kowtow.

"Master, disciple doesn’t want to keep running, disciple wants to go to the Far North. You once said, in this life, a man must do what he must and not do what he shouldn’t."

"I want to go to the Far North, contribute to this cultivation realm and these countless people, also to repay His Majesty the Dragon Emperor’s grace in altering my fate."

"Even if I die in battle, I will have no regrets."

"Get lost! Get lost! Get out of here quickly! To hell with your death! I shouldn’t have pulled you out of that pile of corpses!"

Furious to the extreme, Duan Chaolong angrily cursed, immediately mounted his Flying Sword and left without looking back, flying straight to the northwest, soon disappearing from sight.

Liu Erniu just watched his master leave, quietly wiping away a tear.

After bidding farewell to the old folks in the village, he took the food and clothes they gave him and ran resolutely in the direction of the Teleportation Array.

Earlier, while on the Flying Sword, Duan Chaolong had expressed his judgment.

The Teleportation Array in the Southernmost Islands had failed, likely not because the Immortal Dao Alliance cut off the teleportation channel alone, which would be time-consuming and laborious, somewhat overkill.

More likely because the arrival of the black mist interrupted its normal operation.

This resulted in their inability to teleport away.

Now, this area is still at least a day away from the black mist’s erosion, the Teleportation Array may still operate, which would be much easier, it should allow reaching the Far North to join the battle!

Liu Erniu thought this way, running wildly along the road towards the Teleportation Array.

A mere twenty miles, with his current Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivation, even relying on physical fitness to run wouldn’t be too slow, and soon he saw Daze City standing not far away.

The Teleportation Array outside the city was shrouded in a pale green Spiritual Power aura, which made Liu Erniu’s heart lift.

Wonderful!

The Teleportation Array is still usable!

And the Spirit Stones on it were still there!

Overjoyed, Liu Erniu immediately stepped into the Teleportation Array, activating it clumsily.

With a dizzying sensation of the world spinning, he quickly appeared within another Teleportation Array.

Quite fortunately, this Teleportation Array still had Spirit Stones remaining.

He jumped like this three times, finally entering a pre-battle established teleportation relay station.

Here, there was still a steward from the Immortal Dao Alliance stationed.

The other party seemed unsurprised to see him, only calmly asking about his destination.

Upon hearing Liu Erniu was heading to the Far North to support the battlefield, the other party’s face suddenly bloomed with a passionate smile, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

As a familiar dizziness arrived, after a whirlwind, Liu Erniu once again appeared in a new teleportation relay station.

This time, before he could stabilize, a figure suddenly rushed at him, kicking him right out.

Before he could see who it was, he was met with a barrage of curses.

"Rebellious apprentice! Rebellious apprentice! You won’t be satisfied until you drive me to death! Wanting to sever my Wood and Earth Temple’s heritage is the only thing that would make you happy!"

"What on earth did I do wrong in my past life! I’ve been kind to everyone in the first half of my life, only to end up with a troublemaker like you in my old age!"

"You think just because you achieved Qi Refining Great Perfection your wings have grown hard!? I used to wonder why I didn’t notice your firm ideas and boldness! All that timid and cowardly manner was just an act, wasn’t it..."

Listening to those familiar grumbles, Liu Erniu sitting on the ground finally saw who it was.

Who else but his own master?

Seeing the other’s appearance, he couldn’t help but laugh.

This route could only be taken to reach the special battlefield teleportation route in the Far North, it wouldn’t be possible to come here just to escape.

By standing here, Duan Chaolong had already explained many things.

Seeing his foolish apprentice’s state, Duan Chaolong became even more furious and gave him a few more cuffs.

"What’s there to laugh about! Rebellious apprentice!"

"With just one Breaking Sword, two Tier One Talismans, one bottle of Qi Recovery Pills, you dare go to the battlefield, I really wonder what’s in your head! Has it been filled with discarded Spirit Stones?"

Duan Chaolong cursed as he dragged Liu Erniu onto the Teleportation Array, stuffing a new Storage Bag into his arms.

"Quickly change into the Magical Robe, go over the Talismans and Elixirs in your mind, then sacrificially refine that damn Defensive Spiritual Artifact! Or else even if you drop dead in front of me don’t think about going to the battlefield!"

Seeing the few cultivators who just teleported over and the steward from the Immortal Dao Alliance all smiling, Duan Chaolong felt his fury reaching his boiling point.

Screw being kind to others, I’ve endured for so many years, reaching this point, what more is there to endure!

"Laughing at what you mother laugh at! Quickly teleport us, hastening to find death!"

"Gladly obliged, o arrogant hero."

The steward of the Immortal Dao Alliance laughed heartily while activating the Teleportation Array, even the gloom was scattered by this touch of cheerfulness.

This was already the eighth batch today.

This world, it’s not yet unsalvageable!

...

In the Land of the Far North, after being forced back to the first line of defense once again, Lu Wenwu and others faced a dire situation.

The current strongest ten combined forces, even advancing across the world wasn’t impossible.

But facing the overwhelming tide of Split Creatures controlled by the True Demon Mother Insect, the few of them truly felt a touch of despair.

In the Cultivation System, especially in the Divinity Transformation Realm, the gap between each minor realm was immense.

Admittedly, Low-tier Cultivators are insignificant to High-tier Cultivators.

Unless they are a Celestial Pride, otherwise, no matter how many they are, they cannot threaten High-tier Cultivators.

But it must be acknowledged, this seriously slows down advancement.

Never mind the overwhelming tide of Split Creatures.

Even if a flock of fearless boars charged at you, you would have to exert effort to deal with them all, wouldn’t you?

And what is more despairing is that, in a one-on-one fight, those late-stage Divinity Transformation Split Creatures indeed aren’t an enemy of several combined.

The members of the strike team are the finest of the era, any of them could possibly take the final step, attempting to cross the tribulation and ascend.

But ants can bite elephants to death, late-stage Divinity Transformation Split Creatures can indeed cause them harm, serious harm!

Facing enemies tenfold or more in number, Lu Wenwu couldn’t break through the layers of defense, let alone carry out a beheading of the True Demon Mother Insect.

After catching his breath momentarily, the recalibrated Saint Venerable Heng Ru cast a Recovery Technique on himself.

Then with the Jade Brush, he forcefully splashed ink, setting up a temporary barrier, his vast Divine Sense swept across the battlefield.

"The situation is very grim, our people are dying en masse while the number of Split Creatures is still increasing. If we don’t come up with a way to break through, we’re doomed to lose this battle."

"So what do you suggest? There are no more people left!"

Blood River Demon Venerable panted heavily, his voice resembling an old bellows.

"Unless we draw all Divinity Transformation cultivators and all cultivators wearing Life Armor to form a suicide squad, but if we do this, the second line’s collapse will be unimaginably fast, and we’ll lose all room for error!"

"If we fail, the entire Cultivation Realm is finished!"

"There will be no more chances!"
