Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 494 - 467: Vermilion Bird Array Soul (Part 2)
"Master!"
"Lord Frost Monarch!"
At this moment, the five Taiyi True Immortals under the Frost Monarch were dumbfounded. They had been pessimistic and desperate before; the enemy was too strong, and the pressure from above was too tight. In just three days, they suffered heavy losses.
Yet, despite this, they had no chance to breathe and were forced to provide cover for their allies, seeking opportunities to win. There was no option to escape.
The Hidden Origin Divine Monarch personally held the line. This was currently the most top-tier force in the Cultivation Realm, comparable to the existence of a Half-step Daluo.
With him there, who dared to flee? Even if they died in battle, they had to charge forward.
The Qin Family’s heads were still hanging behind. Moreover, their Frost Domain was not yet the worst.
Worse was Elder Hui of the Gray Domain, who, due to misjudging people and misemploying them, was unaware of the Qin Family’s betrayal, almost causing the enemy to sabotage the key projects of the Hidden Origin Association. Now, he was leading the Gray Domain legion and his disciples in another direction on the battlefield to atone for their crimes.
It was said that in just three days, Elder Hui’s Gray Domain legion had lost twenty-nine Taiyi True Immortals and over three hundred Earth Immortals. Originally there were eighteen disciples, now only two survived!
The entire Gray Domain was nearly wiped out.
But fortunately, Elder Hui successfully completed the mission and atoned for his crimes.
On the other hand, in the Frost Domain, the Frost Monarch had never brought the Frost Domain legion over, unwilling to use Earth Immortals as scapegoats. As a result, it was up to them to die. In the end, at this moment, the Frost Monarch unleashed such a Big Move?
Vermilion Bird Array Soul!
Lord Frost Monarch had actually endured until now, deceiving not only the enemy but even them!
"Kill!"
At this point, the Frost Monarch did not explain anything, and as the Grand Array collapsed, she immediately charged toward the opposite side. After all, she was a Taiyi Eighth-Stage True Immortal.
With the Grand Array, she was helpless.
Without the Grand Array, under a Divine Monarch, who did she fear?
Her five subordinates and disciples hadn’t even reacted, yet she had already charged through them once.
On their side, the Fire Domain legion, as the main force, also launched a full-scale assault at this time.
The Hidden Origin Divine Monarch and the opposing Tianshu Divine Monarch both acted, yet could only restrain each other. In this way, after a half-cup of tea’s time of slaughter, the enemy’s Dubhe Immortal Alliance finally stabilized its footing, while the Frost Monarch and her side had already returned triumphant.
Almost at the moment of the Frost Monarch’s return, the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch’s reward had already arrived.
No complexities!
The Frost Monarch was promoted from Third-Grade Elder to Second-Grade, joining the Hidden Origin Elder Council, becoming one of the Seven Great Elders.
As for the original Seven Great Elders, one had already been slain in the first round of sneak attacks by the opposing Tianshu Divine Monarch, and one was making amends, leaving two vacancies.
"Congratulations, Daoist Hong Ye, this battle has truly opened my eyes! Admirable, admirable!"
The Frost Monarch had not yet recovered from the shock when one of the Seven Elders of the Hidden Origin Association, the Fire Monarch of the Fire Domain, personally came to congratulate her, which in the past was someone the Frost Monarch had to salute and inquire after.
"Elder Cheng, this junior was just fortunate..." The Frost Monarch gave a slightly bitter smile, not knowing what was going on.
"Alright, no need for humility. Daoist Hong Ye’s endurance today has truly impressed me. The Tianshu scoundrels across the way will surely leap in rage and cannot sleep soundly in the future, haha!"
The Fire Monarch laughed heartily, genuinely impressed, unlike a pretense, as he was truly impressed. He never expected this move.
Over the past three days, the Frost Monarch’s unit suffered heavy casualties, all relying on this powerful Taiyi Eighth-Stage True Immortal to hold it together. Their side wanted to use the Frost Monarch as an opening pawn, while the opponent laid out layer upon layer to devour this pawn. Both sides had basically confirmed the fate of this piece, yet this piece endured until now, shocking the world with a single Vermilion Bird Array Soul at the critical moment!
Damn, if only we had known you cultivated a Vermilion Bird Array Soul, who would dare underestimate you?
As a result, the opponent was a step slow to react and was directly pierced by the Frost Monarch, slaying seven Taiyi True Immortals. This truly marked the highlight moment of the three-day battle between the Hidden Origin Association and the Dubhe Immortal Alliance.
"Daoist Hong Ye, you have made great contributions, quickly go to the rear and recuperate for seven days, as granted by the Divine Monarch."
"Thank you, elder!"
The Frost Monarch was indeed anxious; this time, she had brought out the absolute main forces of the Frost Domain, but they lost nine people, a severe injury to the core.
Fortunately, this battle had opened up a situation for her, promoting her to Second-Grade Elder, joining the Hidden Origin Elder Council, with a bright future.
So she needed to deploy immediately, otherwise, it would be too late after the war ended.
However—
She glanced in a certain direction, her brow furrowing again; things were getting a bit difficult to conclude satisfactorily.
——
At this moment, Wang Wu was still reflecting, still searching for reasons.
"It’s that Great Immeasurable Immortal Talisman’s slight sluggish delay effect, which made my manipulation seem so uncoordinated."
"Fortunately, the problem isn’t too big."
"Additionally, the Vermilion Bird Array Soul formed by thirty-six Heaven and Earth Needles is already so terrifying, what if there were seventy-two, or a hundred and eight?"
Wang Wu thought with a gleeful smile, and beside him, a tiny spark of fire, nearly invisible to the naked eye, was happily spiraling around—indeed, this was the Vermilion Bird Array Soul.
The two attacks just now seemed not to have caused it much damage, anyway, it still looked lively at this moment.
In fact, this Vermilion Bird Array Soul could even pass through the Great Immeasurable Immortal Talisman, being able to move freely, which Wang Wu found very amazing.
"Four Clowns, can you appraise this Vermilion Bird Array Soul for me?"
"Sorry, we can’t, this is already beyond our understanding."
The Four Clowns answered decisively, Vermilion Bird Array Soul? Azure Dragon Array Soul, a Grand Array with a Soul? Unheard of, never seen, what could they possibly say?
They didn’t even know what had happened earlier.
"So be it, I’ll continue then."
Wang Wu didn’t pay much attention, because he felt that this Vermilion Bird Array Soul ultimately relied on the power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, which was an Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact, isn’t it normal to be formidable?
The urgent matter now is to repair the remaining Heaven and Earth Needles.
This time he used the method of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
By dismantling two broken Heaven and Earth Needles, he could repair one.
Wang Wu was quick, within just two days, he repaired thirteen, altogether with the previous thirty-six, making exactly forty-nine.
But his ability stops there, as for the remaining Heaven and Earth Needles, there’s no way unless the Frost Monarch sends enough resources, to be honest, he is quite worried, and was unsure what the situation on the battlefield outside was like after two days.
And it was at this moment, a sudden thought struck him, he saw a Three-Defense Boat speeding over, under the sail made of Pale Fire stood a figure wearing a Three-Defense Treasure Armor.
Even without seeing any contours, Wang Wu could immediately recognize it, it’s Qingxue.
But why did she come alone?
He waved his arms happily, although Qingxue seemed to have something on her mind? It made sense, worrying about the great battle ahead.
"Qingxue, where are the supplies? I’ve repaired forty-nine Heaven and Earth Needles, there are still twenty-six needles left, but I need other materials to repair them, by the way, what’s the situation outside, I’ve always worried that your master would send you to the frontline, though your power is pretty good, it would still be dangerous over there."
"Also, did you arrange for anyone to manufacture the Celestial and Earthly Compass? Without it, new Heaven and Earth Needles can’t be built. Speaking of, where have you been these years? No message was sent back."
Wang Wu shouted loudly, went up to help Qingxue put away the Three-Defense Boat, and led her to see the repaired Heaven and Earth Needles, he originally wanted Qingxue to take a look at that Vermilion Bird Array Soul, but the little spark had disappeared at some point, not bothering him over the past few days of repairing the Heaven and Earth Needles, because he planned to create a bigger Vermilion Bird Array Soul.
However, Qingxue hadn’t talked much all along, until Wang Wu, curious, scrutinized her, she spoke with some peculiarity, "Dragon Head City was breached by the Dubhe Immortal Alliance, now three Immortal Alliances stand on their side, I immediately went over to assist but only managed to save five hundred thirty-two of your beloved kin and friends, besides, I regret to tell you, She Shoujiu has also died."
"Eighty years ago, her Cyan Dragon Bloodline was discovered and was extracted by the Cyan Dragon Race, several others suffered together with her, something like Justice Light Peaceful Neighborly Friendly, they turned into mortals, ultimately unable to bear the suffering from injuries a decade ago, gradually exhausting their lifespan and passed away."
"Though your two concubines are doing well, I helped them once, today they are both advanced to Tier Three Earth Immortal. This life they probably have no hope of advancing further, but at least they can accompany you for another twenty to thirty thousand years. Would you be angry because I made this decision?"
"Huh? Why would I be mad, I am thankful enough as it is, this matter, I owe you, and it’s all small stuff, what did your master say? We must hurry to repair the Heaven and Earth Needles, let me tell you, I’ve discovered something incredible."
"You’re referring to the Vermilion Bird Array Soul?"
"Indeed, I never imagined this Vermilion Bird Array Soul to be so powerful, come, let me demonstrate for you."
"No need, I know the power of the Vermilion Bird Array Soul, I, my master initially thought so too, except initially believing that it would take a hundred Heaven and Earth Needles to form a complete Vermilion Bird Array Soul, unexpectedly, you achieved it with just forty-nine, Wang Zhige, or, Wang Wu, I’ll call you Wang Wu from now on."
Qingxue said leisurely, still looking preoccupied.
"Why?" Wang Wu was taken aback; Qingxue seemed a bit off today.
"No particular reason, I just think Wang Wu sounds nicer."
"That’s fine, but are you still worried about something, was your master scolding you? Or is there something unspeakable?"
"Don’t speak nonsensically, what unspeakable matter could I have, I just hope you understand one thing."
"Then speak." Wang Wu became increasingly curious, he even suspected if this was a fake Qingxue, since when did she get bashful, back in the day, you could kick two feet at me, and I’d resist, right?"
Qingxue pondered for a moment before saying, "The Heaven and Earth Needles being constructed here all belong to my master, belong to the Frost Domain, including the Vermilion Bird Array Soul."
