m the Wangyue Cultivation World and were unable to break free for a time. They couldn't even reinforce on a large scale from other locations.The Cultivation World under the Moon has been suppressed fo...“Nine-Pole Thunder Raven!” Even though Hu You Gui Wang was the only one in this place among the ghost clan who had reached the level of Zhen Yi, and his strength was almost equal to that of the Golden-Eyed Mantis Demon, when he heard the name Nine-Pole Thunder Raven, his eyes still changed involuntarily. This kind of yin ghost would be extremely disadvantaged when facing a demon like the Nine-Pole Thunder Raven, which was born with the ability to control thunder.
"To be precise, both of the couple came." The Golden-Eyed Mantis Demon caught sight of the panic in Tiger You Ghost King's eyes and chuckled inwardly. Not to mention Tiger You Ghost King, even other ghost clans wouldn't be keen on encountering those two Lei Wu from the Jifeng Mountain Range.
"The Nine Extremes Thunder Crow is renowned throughout a radius of millions of miles. To be able to invite these two demon clans to assist, it seems the human race truly has no reason to escape this time."
"Not necessarily so. We can call for help, and the humans across from us might be able to as well. Moreover, Qingyu Continent was also a sacred land for cultivation in ancient times. It's just that the spiritual energy became thinner over time, leading to its decline. Perhaps there are still some hidden cards up their sleeve." The Golden-Eyed Mantis shook its head.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is truly like a dragon, appearing only once and then disappearing. The people I sent out to look for you have been countless waves, yet none have seen your shadow. If Fellow Daoist Lu had not come to support us in this battle, I would be deeply uneasy here."
Wen Changyun greeted Lu Xiaottian with a smile. "Lu Daoist's injuries seem to have recovered almost completely. In this case, the Qingyu Alliance's chances of winning will be even higher."
Wen Changyun now looked at Lu Xiaoteng, and he couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart. He couldn't feel the depth of Lu Xiaoteng's cultivation, and he wasn't sure what level Lu Xiaoteng had reached. However, when Lu Xiaoteng left that year, he was only at the early stage of Yuan Ying. There were many prodigies on the Qingyu Continent like Di Yao, Yinmian Luo Sha, and Luo Qing, whose cultivation levels were already outstanding among great cultivators. Even Ji Qian Shui from the Qingdan Palace seemed to be catching up to them. But now, she was still a little short of comprehending true meaning.
Logically speaking, even if Lu Xia Tian was a bit stronger than others, reaching this level in over a hundred years would be too astonishing. However, the current Lu Xia Tian is not someone who can be judged by common sense. Wen Changyun and Ji Qian Shui couldn't determine what stage Lu Xia Tian had reached.
If they were only facing Yinmian Luosha, Di Yao and a few others would be on the same level, but there was still Xiang Qingcheng standing beside them. Her strength was probably comparable to Wen Changyun's formidable power. The fact that such a powerful individual was almost completely subservient to someone else left Wen Changyun and Ji Qian Shui utterly baffled.
"It seems like the Alliance has accumulated quite a bit of foundation over the years." Lu Xia Tian said, watching the warships in the distant airspace, which were displaying immense power and circling back and forth like a giant dragon.
"In just over a hundred years, cultivators from the Qi Refinement stage to the Golden Core stage have yet to recover. After all, not everyone has the talent of Daoist Lu. However, those skilled craftsmen who built warships were not the main combatants back then, so their losses were relatively smaller. These years since settling in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm, the supply of spirit stones and spiritual creatures has been much stronger than before. Otherwise, how could they afford such lavish spending"
Wen Changyun shook his head and smiled, "The spiritual stones consumed during the chaos of the cultivation world back then were almost depleted. After that, the war between humans and ghosts almost emptied what little they had left. Without new resources, how could they sustain themselves It was these warships that made up for the shortcomings of low-level cultivators, coupled with the city protection formation of Qingyu Immortal City, that allowed them to barely stalemate with the armies of demons and ghosts over these years."
"War is a drain, even the smallest consumption adds up. The current demonic and ghost armies are practically endless. Continuing like this will surely exhaust the Azure Sky Alliance first. Fellow cultivator Lu has made immeasurable contributions to the Moon Gazing Cultivation World and even the entire Azure Sky Continent. This time, I hope Fellow Cultivator Lu, considering we are both from the Azure Sky Continent, will help us secure a place for our continent in the Lingxu Secret Realm. Otherwise, after this defeat, the Azure Sky Continent will have no chance of ever rising again."
"Brother Lu!" At this time, Yuan Min, Peng Dayong, and Xiao Xiangyu all came over to pay respects to Lu Xiaoteng. Then they greeted Xiang Qingcheng and Luo Ping'er.
"Senior Lu, Lingxiao Palace's sect foundation is here. I hope Senior Lu can take action as soon as possible." Xiao Xiangyu mustered her courage and said. Compared to Yuan Min and Peng Dayu, Xiao Xiangyu grew up in Lingxiao Palace since she was a child, just like Chen He Nian, she felt more deeply for Lingxiao Palace than ordinary people.
"Knowing full well the folly of it, I do it nonetheless. Whether it brings fortune or misfortune, I shall embrace it. After this upcoming battle, the territories gained will be enough for the Azure Sky Continent to digest for many months; there shall be no further room for expansion. Compared to the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm, the foundation of Azure Sky Continent is too thin. Even if we win several battles, a single defeat would be enough to cripple the entire continent. Even if all the forces of the Crimson Abyss Continent's major celestial dynasties were united, Yang would ultimately become merely a pawn for others. This is not a good thing at all. Wen Dao Friend, Ji Dao Friend, you must remember this well."
Lu Xia Tian let out a soft sigh and spoke.
“What Lu Daoist said makes sense. After this battle, the Qingyu Continent will cease hostilities and focus on recuperation and growth. It will not start any more wars.” Although Wen Changyun felt in his heart that Lu Xiaottian’s sermon was a bit too much, he was a genuine True Essence level cultivator, almost reaching the peak that Nascent Soul cultivators could attain. Lu Xiaottian’s commanding tone was a bit presumptuous. What's more, Lu Xiaottian used to be just a junior.”
Ji Qian Shui's brows furrowed slightly. It was Yuan Min, and even Xiao Xiang Yu and the others felt that something was off.
But the enemy is right in front of us. Thinking about it carefully, I also feel that what Lu Xiaoteng said makes some sense. Lu Xiaoteng, Xiang Qingcheng, and Luo Ping'er are all rare combat strengths. It’s not necessary to care too much about these minor details.
> While Wen Changyun didn't mind, it didn't mean that the Yuan Ying cultivators of Gujian Sect had no grudges. Hu Yiming, a mid-stage Yuan Ying cultivator, was just about to retort when suddenly lightning struck from the sky, with thunder shaking the heavens and dark clouds gathering above.
"What a powerful Thunder Demon!" Wen Changyun couldn't help but be surprised, his face solemn as he said, "Daoist Lu, a formidable enemy has arrived. The demon clan has gained a new powerful member. Please, both of you, wait with me to repel the enemy later."
A whoosh...Thick bolts of lightning rained down from the sky. High above, two gigantic black crows with wingspans of over ten meters each had eyes glowing with electricity. As their wings flapped, storm clouds churned and electric dragons danced.
The thick bolts of lightning struck first at the massive fleet composed of the soaring hawk warships and flying sky warships.
Under the countless bolts of lightning, the Flying Swallow warships and Flying Sky warships' protective spirit shrouds were torn apart one after another. The hulls were damaged, and the low-level cultivators on board cried out in pain.
“I’ll go take care of these two Lei Yu!” Xiang Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and was about to make a move.
“No rush, these two Lei Yu are newly arrived powerful demon race strongmen. If we make a move now, we won't be able to cope with the changes that might come later.” Wen Changyun shook his head.
