Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1127: Chapter 682: The Sword Comes_2

“They’re here!”

“Indeed, there is the might of the Extreme Dao!”

“The personal guard Taoist Soldiers refined by an Ancient Great Emperor?”

“How could they appear here, where does this Dark Chaos come from!”

Atop the city walls, Yousu Yu leads a group of Tribulation Realm Void Immortals, looking upon the vast and unstoppable dark current of Underworld Soldiers, their expressions also becoming extremely grave.

The might of the Extreme Dao!

These Underworld Soldiers possess the might of the Extreme Dao.

Although it is not much, each soldier and horse only a thread or a strand, what if it’s a thousand troops and ten thousand horses?

This is no mere army, but clearly an Emperor’s Weapon, an Emperor’s Weapon capable of unleashing the divine might of the Extreme Dao.

The Yousu Clan, with its long heritage, may not know the origins of these Underworld Soldiers, but they do recognize the foundations of these “Extreme Dao Soldiers.”

Human Immortals enter the path, Earth Immortals reach the Extreme Dao; according to legend, Ancient Great Emperors had reached the realm of the Extreme Dao, not only capable of merging principles and refining Emperor’s Heavy Weapons but also transforming some creatures into personal soldiers and guards, similar to Artifact Spirits and puppets. Although they are like humans, they are not human, but they also possess a bit of the might of the Extreme Dao and can achieve an alternative form of “immortality!”

Both practices follow different paths to the same end, consuming the force of the Extreme Dao and depleting the spiritual achievements of an Earth Immortal.

Ordinary Earth Immortals, limited by time, energy, and resources usually can only choose one between their personal Emperor’s Heavy Weapon and personal guard Taoist Soldiers. Only those nearly at the pinnacle, shaking both ancient and modern times, Great Emperors would progress simultaneously, refining both.

Therefore, Emperor’s Weapons are rare, and Taoist Soldiers even rarer.

Compared to the former, the latter might seem slightly inferior, but it represents an Earth Immortal at the very peak.

Therefore…

Watching the surging dark current of Underworld Soldiers approaching, Yousu Yu takes in a deep breath and then coldly commands.

“To battle!!!”

With a single command, the curtains of warfire are drawn.

“Boom!!!”

“Clang!!!”

The warning bells sound, and warfire erupts, Immortal Spirit Light shooting up into the sky. The Spirit Veins buried deep within the earth are awakened by the Array, the force of Yuan Spirits surging into the formation, which in turn converts it into attacks. A multitude of Spells and even Divine Powers bombard the enemy ranks, and Domains are formed, turning Yousu Country into a separate Divine Soil.

A Ninth Order Immortal Array!

Although Pills Talismans Instruments Formations are dubbed “Immortal Spirit” from the Fifth Rank, those are mostly only touched by a fraction of Immortal Qi, far from the true sense of “Immortal” with the difference as vast as that between the heavens and the abyss.

It is only at the Ninth Rank that this situation changes, as Ninth Rank instruments correspond to Ninth Rank creatures.

Therefore, Ninth Rank instruments are known as “Immortal Treasures,” and the same applies to formations, fully activated they can rival a True Immortal.

But that is just a True Immortal after all!

In the land of Divine Land, where crouching tigers and hidden dragons lie, those Sacred Place Immortal Sects and Imperial Clans with long heritages, let alone Ninth Order Immortal Arrays, even Tenth Order Immortal Arrays are at their disposal. The recently destroyed Hehe Mountain had the Yin-Yang Harmony and Four Laws and Four Symbols two Tenth Order Immortal Arrays, which are the “foundations” left by the Yin Yang Emperor of the past.

The Su clan has not produced a Great Emperor, nor an Empress, so only one exceptional Ninth Order Immortal Array exists.

This array has been activated, a True Immortal standing at its center coordinating, and numerous Cultivators as well as Formation Masters and Talisman Masters serving as nodes, channeling Mana, diverting Arrays, small arrays joining into large formations, large formations joining into the Immortal Array, connected in an interlocking system, desperately defending the capital.

“Rumble!”

Apart from the Array, there are also a large number of Magic Artifacts and mechanical puppets. Countless Flying Boats and Building Ships hover in the high sky, raining down elemental Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Thunderclap True Flame, Magic Artifacts, and Talismans, and even Spirit Plant and Beast Mastery all thrown into the battlefield, bombarding relentlessly.

Potentiality!

These two words are commonly passed around in the Divine Land, but for most Cultivators, it’s a concept both familiar yet foreign.

Common folks know that various powers, Sacred Places, Immortal Sects, and Imperial Ancient Clans possess robust potentiality, terrifying accumulation, yet few know what exactly this potentiality consists of and how much accumulation there is.

Until now…

“Rumble!”

Great Arrays, an abundance of Magic Artifacts, numerous Building Ships suspended in the air, towering palaces standing aloft, countless radiant beams like shooting stars, like a huge wave crashing violently into the dark current of Underworld Soldiers.

In an instant, countless Underworld Soldiers met their doom, even their mounts reduced to ashes along with them.

But such onslaughts could not stop the surging dark current, a vast army, magnificent and enormous, each one fiercely unafraid of death, quickly filled the gaps left by the bombardment. In the boundless darkness behind, it was unknown how many troops were hidden, nor what terrifying threats were buried there.

“Boom!!!”

The dark current charged forward and the battle line was instantly in crisis. Countless Underworld Soldiers wielding spears and halberds assaulted the city’s Formation array. Though no cracks appeared, the Spiritual Power was greatly consumed, increasing the burden on the Formation and city defenses.

“Deploy the Mechas!”

Yousu Yu, upon seeing this, promptly gave the order. Several Tribulation Realm Void Immortals moved simultaneously, casting beams of Spirit Light into the fray.

When the Spirit Light was cast, it grew upon contact with the wind, transforming instantly into several tens of thousands feet tall Divine Guard Generals, rooted in the field amidst billowing thunder and fire, reducing a great number of Underworld Soldiers to ashes.

Immortal Spirit Mech Armor!

Since the battle at Hehe Mountain three thousand years ago, when the Wandao School established the Tao Lineage, the Heavenly Mechanics Methods and Immortal Spirit Mech Armor began to spread widely, eagerly adopted by various major powers as a means of accumulating potentiality to cope with the Dark Chaos and tribulations.

The Yousu Clan was no exception. Aside from acquiring Mechas at the Ten Thousand Dao Conference auction, they also successfully cooperated with the Wandao School, obtaining Sixth Rank creation techniques and a portion of Seventh Rank Mechas, greatly enhancing their strength.

In recent years, the Wandao School had further improved the Heavenly Mechanics Methods by introducing “unmanned” Seventh Rank Mechas that could be used like mechanical puppets, and did not require cultivation of a corresponding rank in Heavenly Mechanics Methods. Although their performance was slightly reduced, they still offered an extremely high cost-performance ratio and were highly sought after by all parties.

Several Mechas released, turned into Divine Generals joining the fight, and finally stabilized the scene, securing the city’s defensive line.

But…

“Kill!!!”

With one shout, heaven and earth trembled, and the vast army roared together. Foreboding clouds of Yin Qi gathered and a furious killing intent erupted, ultimately taking the form of a pitch-black, blood-condensed spear, bursting forth with astonishing might.

Extreme Dao Divine Might!

Imperial Arms and Taoist Soldiers, though on different paths, could both channel the power of the Extreme Dao; only their forms were different.

This Taoist Soldier required the combined effort of countless warriors, launching the Extreme Dao Divine Might in the form of a battle formation. Although slightly less powerful and flexible than Imperial Arms, this spear of concentrated murderous intent only harbored less than thirty percent of the Extreme Dao Divine Might.

But it was still the Divine Might of the Extreme Dao, a domain only within the grasp of a Great Emperor!

“Boom!!!”

The spear was launched, shattering the void, instantly piercing through an Immortal Spirit Mech Armor. A Divine Guard General tens of thousands of feet tall exploded in an instant, with hundreds of millions of Magical Instruments reduced to dust, and the Immortal Spirit Core also destroyed.

Such was the terror of a single strike!

No, there was more.

The pitch-black spear persisted after the strike, its momentum undiminished, tearing open a blood-colored trail in the void. It pierced through several Immortal Spirit Mech Armors in succession, and finally crashed heavily into the Xuanling Array.

“Boom!!!”

Another thunderous noise resounded, shaking Yousu Capital City to its core. The Xuanling Array was pierced by that blood-colored spear, creating an opening through which countless Underworld Soldiers surged in, flooding into Yousu City like breached levees.

“Stop them!”

Yousu Yu’s eyes narrowed as she prepared to intervene and suppress the situation, buying time for the Xuanling Array to be repaired.

However, to her surprise, as soon as she made her move, from behind the countless Underworld Soldiers, in the place shrouded by boundless darkness…

“Ha!!!”

A sound echoed, hoarse and deep, like the voice of an ancient corpse from the underworld, followed by an overwhelming surge of Yin Qi spreading out, staining the heavens as if with ink. Then, a withered, blackened, and skeletal hand emerged from within, pointing down with a single finger.

The movement of that hand seemed slow, but in reality, it transcended time and space. In the midst of the horrified and petrified gazes of the onlookers, who were unable to react, the finger pointed straight at Yousu Yu.

He had made his move, he had made his move!

Although it was already known that a great terror lurked behind the Underworld Soldiers in the darkness, Yousu Yu had not anticipated that he would act so decisively and directly against her, not waiting for the critical moment of the final battle. It was so casual.

Yet such an indifferent finger brought forth the great terror of life and death for her.

She was going to die, she was going to be crushed to death by this finger!

Such voices, such warnings, echoed violently in her mind. But Yousu Yu could not make any move, she could only watch helplessly as the withered, blackened, skeletal hand pointed at her.

At this very moment…

“Bang!!!”

A loud noise, the void shattered, and radiant Sword Light arrived!
