Chapter 334: Chapter 333: Formation Breaking Failed (First Update, Seeking Subscription)
This Golden Core is exactly the Golden Core of the Spring and Autumn True Master from the Joyful Union Demon Vein.
A Golden Core can be used to comprehend divine techniques, but its greater use lies in explosion.
If a Golden Core were to explode directly, its immense power could kill a Golden Core Peak cultivator and even heavily injure a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Self-detonation of the Golden Core is the most powerful attack method of a Golden Core Cultivator, bar none.
At this moment, Lu Xuanji directly threw the Golden Core into the densely packed area of demon beasts, causing it to explode in public.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Violent waves swept through everything.
The art of explosion obliterated everything, affecting an area of thirty miles, instantly killing or injuring a large swath of Demon Race cultivators present.
"Human slave courts death!"
At this moment, a Golden Core from the Wolf Race, in anger, activated the array plate, and in the void, blood-colored thunderbolts were condensing.
Crackle!
Crackle!
As the blood-colored thunderbolts condensed, streaks of blood-colored thunder balls descended like bombs, transforming into dozens of thunder balls, each with the power comparable to a Golden Core Strike.
Dozens of thunder balls swept down, heavily injuring even a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Swish!
Lu Xuanji activated a secret technique, ready to escape.
However, the next moment, he felt the power of imprisonment from the void, binding the space, making the air feel as heavy as mercury.
The void became heavy, as if a great mountain was pressing down on his body.
The Void Imprisonment Array could bind the surrounding void, making it as heavy as mercury.
The Thousand Jin Array, when activated, was like a great mountain pressing down, oppressing the body.
Under these two grand arrays, movement became quite slow.
Watching helplessly as a blood-colored thunder ball blasted onto the body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Instantly, that body was blasted into smithereens, dissolving into airflow and dispersing in the void.
"Finally killed him, no, wait..."
The Elder of the Wolf Race said, but before he could revel in joy, he sensed something amiss: "Something’s wrong, that was still just a clone!"
At that moment, they felt the core area trembling violently, as if it was an earthquake.
In certain areas, there were crisp sounds, with some array nodes being destroyed, some array foundations being damaged, and some array flags being shattered.
Many demon race members were confused about the meaning.
But on the mountaintop, the Grand Elder of the Wolf Race shouted in anger, "How dare you!"
Just now, in the core area, eight Human Race cultivators appeared. They moved quickly, reaching some array nodes and began wantonly destroying them, causing array damage and instability in the array foundations.
"Blood Soul Divine Thunder, strike them down!"
The Grand Elder of the Wolf Race, in rage, activated the array plate, continuously striking down. The blood-colored thunder balls swept over, exploding.
The eight Human cultivators were struck down on the spot, turning into airflow.
...
On the outskirts of the core area, Lu Xuanji coughed up a mouthful of blood with a puff.
"All nine of my clones have been wiped out. What a method!"
Lu Xuanji coughed, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
Activating the Grotto World Pearl, he broke open a corner of the array.
Then, with a sudden realization, he dispatched nine clones into the area to test the power of the array.
As a result, in less than three breaths, all nine clones were killed.
After reaching the Golden Core Realm, by activating the Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon, he could evolve nine clones, each having nine-tenths of the combat power of the true body. The drawback was that maintaining the nine clones consumed a large amount of magical power.
With all nine clones active, combat could be maintained for at most ten breaths.
The death of the nine clones affected him slightly, causing him to cough up blood.
In his mind, there was a trace of shock and a faint hint of fear.
If it was the true body that had entered instead of the clones... he might have been killed there and then.
The Void Imprisonment Array, Thousand Jin Array, Blood Soul Divine Thunder Array, and other grand arrays overlapping would devastate even a Nascent Soul Cultivator trapped within.
The deaths of the nine clones added a sliver of caution to his slightly arrogant mindset.
"In the core area, numerous arrays are stacked together: twelve Fourth Grade arrays, four Fifth Grade arrays, and even one Sixth Grade array. Unfortunately, it’s only Golden Core cultivators stationed here; they can drive the Fifth Grade arrays at most, but are incapable of activating the Sixth Grade array!"
"How to break the array!"
Lu Xuanji took out the Grotto World Pearl, ready to continue striking it down.
But at this moment, blood-colored divine thunder from the void struck down, not only attacking him but also the cultivators of the Lu Family.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Xuanji activated the Pure Yang True Flame, blasting away, instantly shattering and dispersing the blood thunder.
The other Lu Family cultivators also activated their magical treasures to resist, some severely injured and coughing blood, others spurting blood on the spot.
"Retreat quickly!"
At Lu Xuanji’s command, the Lu Family cultivators began retreating.
They retreated two hundred miles successively.
At this moment, they were about three hundred miles from the core region of the Wolf Race. At this distance, the attack power of the blood thunder weakened, and the consumption on the spirit veins increased.
The blood thunder ceased its attack.
Lu Xuanji breathed a slight sigh of relief, tallying his subordinate cultivators, noting over fifty casualties, and more than a hundred severely injured.
His heart ached slightly, but his face showed no extra expression.
Kindness doesn’t command troops, righteousness doesn’t accumulate wealth.
In war, how could there be no deaths?
"Husband, request reinforcements from True Monarch Xi Yue!" Ye Wanyi said.
"It’s possible, but she may not be able to attend to me!"
Lu Xuanji said.
He summoned a Purple Mansion Cultivator, handed over a Flying Sword, and inscribed some information onto it.
Only special secret techniques could decipher the information within.
Using forceful means to break it might destroy the Flying Sword, preventing information leakage.
This Purple Mansion Cultivator of the Lu Family took the Flying Sword and disappeared.
By now, the Communication Token had become ineffective, and only manual message delivery remained.
...
In less than half an hour, a Flying Ship advanced through the void, descending to this location.
Following it, several Flying Ships arrived.
The cultivators gathering here increased in number.
In just a moment, more than ten thousand cultivators gathered, with over five hundred Purple Mansion Cultivators among them.
In the center was a massive Flying Ship, forged from Geng Metal, looking particularly sturdy.
At that moment, a woman descended from the Flying Ship, tall and holding a sharp sword, her whole body exuding fierce murderous intent—it was Jin Xi.
"Why have you fought your way here? If you fell into the enemy’s ambush, it would be dangerous!"
Jin Xi spoke, her words carrying a slight rebuke.
"True Monarch, this way!"
Lu Xuanji said, "I have urgent military intelligence, please temporarily dismiss my left and right!"
"Alright!"
Jin Xi nodded, extended her hand in a grab, and the two entered the warship.
She activated a secret technique, isolating the interior from the exterior.
Jin Xi said, "What intelligence?"
