Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 627 - 306: Fierce Battle Against the True Lord
Boom!
The void trembled as two powerful forces collided, producing a thunderous roar that shook the heavens.
The air was instantly torn apart, forming visible ripples that wildly spread in all directions.
The Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet, under the blessing of the original Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman, unleashed a terrifying power comparable to the threshold of a Nascent Soul.
However, it still seemed insufficient when faced with True Monarch Chixiao, a true Nascent Soul powerhouse.
The dazzling Spiritual Qi bow and arrow stalemated for a moment with True Monarch Chixiao’s dark purple small sword before ultimately being unable to withstand the opponent’s Nascent Soul True Essence, shattering with a crisp crack.
Yet, the dark purple small sword also dimmed somewhat after the clash, its power visibly weakened.
Seeing this, Xu Ping immediately performed the Armor Refining Skill.
In just a brief moment, four Red Flame Golden Beetles transformed into red armor, firmly embedding themselves onto Xu Ping’s upper body skin.
Boom!
The dark purple stream of light collided with the bloody armor, erupting with an earth-shaking boom. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
The furious energy shockwave, like an invisible tsunami, crushed all the vegetation within several miles into powder.
However, to True Monarch Chixiao’s slight surprise, Xu Ping was only pushed back a few meters, unharmed as he withstood the force.
"Indeed, you have some skills."
True Monarch Chixiao’s lips curled into a cold smile, and murderous intent suddenly erupted in his eyes, "But today, you will surely die!"
He formed a spell and attacked again, this time directly sending out seven streaks of crimson light, attacking Xu Ping from seven different directions simultaneously.
Xu Ping was well aware that he was no match for True Monarch Chixiao in a direct confrontation.
However, with his nearly invincible defensive capabilities, it was equally impossible for his opponent to kill him.
Moreover, his purpose here was not to win but to buy time.
This place was close to the territory of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. As long as he held on long enough, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons would surely sense the battle’s fluctuations and come to help.
With this in mind, Xu Ping’s thoughts raced.
He manipulated the Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet to continuously shoot silver light arrows, blocking some attacks, while relying on the powerful defense of the Armor Refining Skill to withstand the remaining deadly moves.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amidst a series of deafening explosions, Xu Ping was continuously pushed back, but each time he managed to stabilize himself quickly, resembling an unyielding mountain.
The intense battle between the two continued for nearly half an hour, covering the skies and earth in a blood-red hue.
Mountains crumbled, the ground cracked, and the Spiritual Qi within a hundred miles was nearly exhausted, swallowed by the two combatants.
Though True Monarch Chixiao maintained the upper hand throughout, he still couldn’t truly harm Xu Ping, leaving him both enraged and astounded.
"What a tough shell!"
True Monarch Chixiao gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with anger.
Even a Quasi-Fourth Rank Body Refining Cultivator couldn’t possibly have such an abnormal defense.
This had likely reached the level of a true Fourth Rank Body Refining Cultivator, truly incredible!
Moreover, this place was near the territory of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and the terrifying fluctuations from their battle would surely have been sensed by the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons by now.
If this continued to be delayed, the situation would become extremely unfavorable for him.
Just as True Monarch Chixiao was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, two suffocatingly powerful auras suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Looking up, he saw two streaks of Escape Light, like meteors slicing through the night sky, rushing toward the battlefield at astonishing speed.
The pressure contained within those Escape Lights was no less than his own, and one of them was even more formidable, making his heart quake.
"True Monarch Lan Ling!"
"Demon Monarch Ruchen!"
Seeing this sight, True Monarch Chixiao’s face drastically changed. Without a second thought, he chose to retreat without any hesitation.
He surrounded himself with a great surge of crimson light and transformed into a blinding streak, vanishing in an instant at the horizon’s edge.
Unexpectedly, even the Fourth Rank Demon Monarch nearing the end of his lifespan from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was alarmed.
This was no longer a situation he could handle alone.
Witnessing this, Xu Ping also let out a slight sigh of relief.
The red armor on his body slowly transformed back into four Red Flame Golden Beetles, quietly returning to the spirit beast pouch.
Soon, two streaks of Escape Light descended upon Xu Ping like meteors cutting through the sky, transforming into two distinct-looking figures.
One was the familiar True Monarch Lan Ling, the other was the renowned but first-time meeting Demon Monarch Ruchen.
The appearance of Demon Monarch Ruchen slightly surprised Xu Ping.
This legendary Fourth Rank Demon Monarch, with astonishing power, appeared as nothing more than an ordinary white-haired old man dressed in a simple gray robe, with amiable features and gentle eyes.
Were it not for the terrifying Demon Qi piercing the clouds and the heart-shaking pressure emanating from him, no one would associate this peaceful elder with the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons’ strongest force.
With Xu Ping’s keen Divine Sense, a slight shift in his gaze revealed that Demon Monarch Ruchen was enveloped in a faint, nearly undetectable aura of decay, signaling the approach of his lifespan’s limit.
"Thank you, True Monarchs, for arriving just in time to save my life," Xu Ping gratefully cupped his hands.
"Friend Yan, there’s no need to be so formal."
True Monarch Lan Ling’s eyes flashed with a hint of admiration as he replied warmly,
"You are, after all, one of our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. It’s only natural for me and True Monarch Ruchen to come to your aid."
"Besides, even without our arrival, it’s doubtful that Chixiao could have done much to you."
"Your defensive skills and that Fourth Rank Puppet are truly astonishing."
True Monarch Lan Ling had long known that Yan Ruchen had some hidden trump cards.
