TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1486: Chapter 578 Tense Battle_3 Chapter 1486: Chapter 578 Tense Battle_3 “`

However, faced with this powerful threat, Song Xiren had indeed risked his life.

Within just a few months of battle at the front line, each side had deployed over ten thousand troops in the Northwestern battlefield of the Western Domain, including more than twenty Human Immortals risking their lives in fierce combat.

It could be said that the battlefield over there was anxious from the moment the battle started, with both sides fighting fiercely until their eyes turned red.

Even Song Xiren, was forced by three Earth Immortals from Nine Provinces, to personally step onto the battlefield and exhaust all of his sect’s resources.

He even resorted to using several Life-Burning Secret Techniques, just barely blocking the experts of the same level.

Yet even so, it was hard to disguise the declining momentum.

Having fought for half a year, according to messages from the front line, Nine Provinces had already suffered over two thousand cultivator casualties, and a True Immortal had also fallen.

Ding Wanxuan, the leader of Nine Provinces, even incurred some minor injuries.

The losses for Nine Provinces were indeed heavy.

But correspondingly, for the Changqing Immortal Sect’s side, there were over a thousand casualties, and two Human Immortals were seriously injured, expected not to recover for several decades.

At first glance, this seemed a lot lighter compared to the losses of Nine Provinces.

But don’t forget, this was under the defensive advantage of Changqing Immortal Sect, protected by a grand formation.

Normally, with grand formation protection, especially an Earth Immortal formation, the casualties of the defenders are typically only a fourth or a fifth of the attacking side, or in the worst case, one-third.

Now, the casualty ratio between the two sides had become half, clearly indicating the immense pressure on the defending side.

This was not the end yet.

As the main pillar against the enemy’s top experts, Song Xiren, because he had used too many secret techniques, had likely shortened his lifespan by at least a hundred years, further exacerbating his already limited lifespan.

Even the defensive lines of Changqing Immortal Sect had been pushed back significantly, losing nearly a third of a small country’s territory.

Fortunately, the Changqing Immortal Sect had a vast territory, profound heritage, and abundant resources.

As soon as the front line lost its defenses, reinforcements from the rear filled the gaps.

The formations prepared at the rear were reconnected with those lost at the front line, reestablishing a complete Earth Immortal formation that appeared once again before the Nine Provinces’ army.

By such means, Changqing Immortal Sect barely maintained their battle lines.

But clearly.

As Nine Provinces continued to attack, waiting for Changqing Immortal Sect’s disciples to die with no timely replacements,

Or if Changqing Immortal Sect’s northern territory was lost, unable to rebuild formations from the rear,

Or if Song Xiren’s lifespan was entirely consumed, no longer able to withstand three opponents of equal calibre.

Any of these three weaknesses, if breached, would lead Changqing Immortal Sect to face defeat.

It could be said, compared to Lu Yuan casually participating in the Eastern Territory battlefield, the Northwestern battlefield in the Western Domain exhibited fiercely aggressive and unstoppable tactics.

But despite the impressive battle achievements, all of this was achieved at the cost of human lives.

With the entire Nine Provinces uniting, though the force was strong, after removing Taiping Dao and Radiant Immortal Dynasty, the territory of the remaining eight sects only amounted to barely twenty countries.

This small territory, no matter how much they exploited their soldiers and waged war, could at most support forty thousand cultivators.

In reality, apart from the Nine Provinces Immortal Gate in the Changqing Domain, other Immortal Sects outside the domain were unlikely to devote all their resources to training ordinary disciples.

Therefore, the total number of disciples from the other eight Immortal Sects was now only around thirty thousand two hundred people.

These disciples could not all be deployed in the war; like the Heavenly River Sect and Wind and Thunder Path and other Immortal Sects outside the domain needed people to maintain order and defend their territories.

Summing it up, this time, the Nine Provinces United Army was able to gather twenty thousand cultivators,

straining their limits to possibly squeeze out another five thousand reinforcements.

Then they could do no more; any more, and they wouldn’t be able to defend their own strongholds.

Having compiled these statistics, it should be recognized that the war potential of Nine Provinces was limited.

Once these potentials were exhausted, the attack could no longer proceed.

Now that the war had barely lasted half a year, Nine Provinces Immortal Gate had already lost more than two thousand cultivators and a Human Immortal, which was almost a tenth of their regular forces.

Yet this had happened in less than a year.

While the current battle achievements look impressive and the fighting exhilarating, all of this was bought with human lives.

When human lives were insufficient to sustain this, such powerful attacks would naturally have to stop due to a lack of sustainability.

Not to mention, Nine Provinces actually couldn’t afford such severe losses either.

Thus, when the opponents turned around and saw their own side fighting to the death while their allies were merely spectating from a distance, could their hearts not be angered?

Right now, they are just sternly demanding, but if Lu Yuan continues to delay, the other side might just give up and even straightforwardly retreat their troops.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan could no longer afford to delay.

Although planning to initially wear down Nine Provinces to reduce their future competitive edge against him, obviously, the other side was not foolish.

Upon realizing Taiping Dao’s intentions, Nine Provinces had already started to fight back.

Continuing this matter would not just be attritional but might irreversibly offend them, turning them from allies into sworn enemies.

Left with no choice, Lu Yuan had to forcefully order that the two battlefields in the Central and Eastern Territories immediately launch fierce attacks on their current enemies.

Any negligence would be met with execution.

Once orders were issued and after making an example by executing some traitors, even Taiping Dao felt the pressure.

Under such compulsory orders, the intensity on the two battlefields surged instantly.

Even spies bought by Changqing Immortal Sect didn’t dare to slack off or go easy on the battlefield.

Battlefields are ruthless.

If you dare to go easy here, the other side certainly will not.

Holding back means handing one’s life over to the enemy.

On the battlefield, spies also didn’t dare to do such things.

Under the pressure from allies and high-order sect officials, the intensity of the war between Taiping Dao and Changqing Immortal Sect quickly escalated to a critical state.

Consequently, all battle lines of Changqing Immortal Sect began to face emergencies globally.

After Lu Yuan took matters seriously, a slight unveil of Taiping Dao’s heritage made the enemy feel somewhat overwhelmed.
