Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of departure.
That day, Ye Linyuan prepared for the war and immediately took everyone and quietly left the cave world.
In this war, in order to ensure that the outcome can be decided in one battle, almost all of the top combat forces of the Ye family were mobilized.
In addition to Ye Linyuan, the top combat force, there are a total of nine powerful warriors above the ninth level of the Golden Core who participated in the battle.
Among them, there are three people who are capable of fighting the fake baby head-on, namely Ye Xuqiu, Ye Yingxu and Shui Hanqing.
Although the fighting power of these three people is not as good as that of the fake baby, it is just that they do not have enough mana to fight for a long time, but they are able to fight against it head-on before their mana is exhausted.
The only one who has reached the top level of Jindan Great Perfection in combat power is the Fighting Golden Ape. The slightly inferior one is the Han Chi who has reached the level of a half-step king blood dragon. Both of them do not have the combat power of ordinary Jindan.
The rest, including Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, Cangyuebei, and Fushanao, are all ordinary golden elixir ninth level fighters.
In addition, Ye Chongyun and Chiyan Linghuang were both at the eighth level of the Golden Core. In order to avoid any damage in the battle, Ye Linyuan did not let them participate in the battle, but only asked them to stay in the cave world to guard it.
There is no way. Although both are in the late stage of Jindan, there is a huge gap between the ninth level of Jindan and the eighth level of Jindan.
The magic power quality of the ninth level of the golden elixir is at least 50% stronger than that of the eighth level of the golden elixir, and there are also differences in all aspects of soul, magical powers, and golden elixir quality.
An ordinary ninth-level Jindan, as long as he is not extremely weak, can at least match the combined strength of three eighth-level Jindan.
This gap is enormous. If they cannot break through the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, the Scarlet Flame Spirit Phoenix and Ye Chongyun will most likely be killed instantly by the Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivator when they participate in the battle, and they will not even have the chance to activate the treasures that can restrain the ghost cultivators.
Only those who have reached the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm are qualified to fight face to face with the fake infant ghost.
Getting back to the topic, Ye Linyuan continued to move forward with the nine golden elixirs and soon arrived in front of the Nascent Soul ruins.
Looking at the ruins, Ye Linyuan frowned and said, "The ghost cultivator has been dormant for many years, and his strength may be weaker, but he should not be underestimated."
"Once you start, remember not to be stingy with the treasures in your hands. Don't be reluctant to use treasures like the third-level top-grade thunder talisman that can restrain ghost cultivators."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, revealing a solemn look.
Upon seeing this, Shui Hanqing distributed the incense he had prepared to everyone. This soul-fixing incense could temporarily and significantly enhance the spiritual power of a cultivator.
Although it has an upper limit and can only be upgraded to the false infant level at most, it is still pretty good for everyone present. At least its resistance to the soul spells of ghost cultivators will be greatly increased.
After everyone had taken the Soul-Fixing Incense, Ye Linyuan spoke up and said, "I'll lead the charge, and you guys look for opportunities to fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan immediately revealed his figure and flew all the way to the ancient ruins.
Everyone walked forward, pretending to have accidentally entered the place, and suddenly they looked at the world in front of them changing drastically, revealing a look of surprise.
"Jie Jie Jie."
"There are so many Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators. How many years has it been since a cultivator of this realm broke in?"
When everyone first entered this place, they heard strange laughter coming from all around. Then a fake infant ghost cultivator with a domineering and extremely ferocious aura flew into the air and completely surrounded everyone.
At the same time, two black auras in the distance shocked the sky, and two Nascent Soul-level ghost cultivators, one red and one blue, broke through the air.
The red light inside exuded a monstrous murderous aura, and said with a strange grin, "With so many Jindan cultivators, it looks like we can have a good meal this time."
"Do it."
At the same time, Ye Linyuan exchanged glances with everyone, and then decisively took action and sacrificed the Thunder Dragon Pile.
In an instant, the Thunder Dragon Stake kept circling, and a Thunder Dragon flew out and struck in all directions, rushing towards the nearest fake infant ghost cultivators.
"Oh no, it's the Thunder Formation."
The moment they saw the thunder formation, the expressions of several ghost cultivators present suddenly changed, and they immediately fled away.
The expressions of the two Nascent Soul ghost cultivators suddenly changed, and they immediately activated their magical powers to transform into a pair of dark blue and blood-red snakes that flew across the sky, trying to stop Ye Linyuan's killing formation.
"Luo Tian Blood Flame, Qianlan Ice Flame."
In an instant, Ye Linyuan's brows frowned slightly.
The Luotian Blood Flame and the Qianlan Ice Flame are both extremely strange underworld fires. The former can burn the flesh and blood of cultivators, and the latter can restrain the soul of cultivators. Both are extremely difficult and terrifying flames.
These two Nascent Soul ghost cultivators have cultivated great supernatural powers from this, and even if they are only at the initial stage, they are still very difficult opponents.
Fortunately, Ye Linyuan was not alone. At this moment, the people around him looked at each other, and Ye Xuqiu and Ye Yingxu took action immediately.
Ye Xuqiu instantly activated the forbidden technique, using his own extremely yang and powerful Qiantian Golden Flame to counter the Qianlan Ice Flame, blocking the methods of the Youlan Ghost Cultivator.
Ye Yingxu summoned seven puppets to form a military formation and used the power of thunder to counter the various methods of the blood-red ghost cultivator.
The others also took action one after another. Fire Sea Golden Lotus Talisman and third-grade top-quality Thunder Talisman, more than twenty of them were sacrificed in just a moment.
Although the Fire Sea Golden Lotus Talisman and the third-grade top-grade Thunder Talisman are not very powerful and are only comparable to the full-strength attack of a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator, they have a great restraining effect on ghost cultivators.
In addition, the number of talismans was too large. In just one encounter, a fake infant ghost cultivator suffered a great loss in the battle, and another fake infant ghost cultivator was seriously injured in the battle.
"die!"
Ye Linyuan took the opportunity to take action, urging the Thunder Dragon to suppress it with a loud bang.
The fake infant ghost cultivator's strength was originally inferior to those of the same level, and the Thunder Dragon had great restraint on him. At this time, he was blocked by everyone and faced the pincer attack of the Thunder Dragon.
It was just a mere encounter, and two fake infant ghost cultivators were instantly killed, and the remaining few fake infant ghost cultivators all suffered certain injuries to varying degrees.
"You dare!"
Seeing that the war situation was not going well, the ghost cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage hiding in the dark finally could not sit still anymore.
But then a figure surrounded by black air broke through the air and actually summoned a huge black blade wrapped in murderous aura and slashed across the sky.
"Ghost weapon of the underworld?"
The moment he saw the giant black blade, Ye Linyuan instantly activated the Xuanyuan Sea-Suppressing Flag. In an instant, a water dragon flew across the sky and merged with the thunder dragon, transforming into a sea thunder dragon that roared up.
I saw the Canghai Thunder Dragon constantly entangled the black giant blade, and fierce collisions broke out between them, and it did not fall into a disadvantage at all.
"A young Jindan actually has such a method?"
Seeing the giant black blade being entangled, the ghost cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul showed a cold look in his eyes.
But he suddenly rose into the air, opened his hands and attracted infinite evil energy, condensing into a sun emitting blood flames across the sky.
The blood sun stood between heaven and earth, like an eternal and indestructible dark sun suppressing the nine heavens and ten earths.
In an instant, the entire landscape changed drastically. Everyone felt that the world was gradually losing its color, and the entire ancient ruins turned into the Nine Netherworld.
The sun and the moon lost their light, and the sky and the earth were dark.
At this moment, they felt like they had become ghosts.
And all around, ghost generals and ghost soldiers were wearing armor, standing on the boundless land of the underworld, and pairs of dark blue eyes were watching them calmly.
And above the sky, the fake infant ghost cultivator turned into the Nine Netherworld Ghost Gods, and the two Nascent Soul ghost cultivators became the King of Hell.
Under the blood-red sun, in a palace paved with bones, a figure dressed in a black imperial robe sat upright.
He was like the Lord of the Underworld, and also like the Emperor of the Netherworld, just sitting calmly on the throne, ruthlessly looking down at all the people present, as if he was looking down at a group of ownerless ghosts.
"Now that you have seen the Underworld Emperor, why don't you bow?"
The figure in the imperial robe spoke and thrust the huge blade in his hand into the palace.
In an instant, the blood-red sun shook suddenly, and a huge blood flame suddenly exploded from it. In an instant, the blood flames filled the sky and stirred the world, and an endless blood-red shock wave swept towards everyone.
"not good."
The expressions of everyone present changed slightly, and they were almost completely destroyed by this bloody evil force.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, an ancient thunder bead in their sea of consciousness trembled, and turned into a thunder dragon that circled and flew up, protecting their souls and blocking the attack.
It was not until this moment that everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and they retreated to Ye Linyuan's side with a serious look.
“It’s just the soul-calming Taoist essence that changes the celestial phenomena. With the help of your spiritual power and the Thunder Dragon Pearl, you don’t have to worry about serious damage to your soul.” Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, comforting the frightened people present.
Obviously, if the Thunder Dragon Pearl he prepared had not taken effect and transformed into a Thunder Dragon to protect everyone's souls, the attack of this Nascent Soul ghost cultivator with only this soul-calming technique would have been enough to severely damage the souls of everyone present.
"You are well prepared for the thunder magic weapon used for self-defense."
Above the sky, the ghost cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage spoke slowly, and for the first time, a hint of solemnity appeared in his pupils.
As a ghost cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, illusion and soul techniques were his most proficient methods. He was unable to hurt anyone with these methods, which made him feel a little tricky.
But after taking a look at everyone's cultivation, the ghost cultivator smiled coldly and said, "It's a pity that you are only at the Golden Core level. No matter how hard you struggle, you will only die."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nascent Soul ghost cultivator attacked fiercely, manifesting nine Netherworld snakes that flew into the air and pounced towards Ye Linyuan with the power to devour human blood and bones.
Seeing this scene, Ye Linyuan immediately looked at everyone and said, "Fight according to the plan."
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took action to fight.
As both sides took action, the battle once again became fierce.
Ye Xuqiu, Ye Yingxu, and Shui Hanqing confronted the two Nascent Soul ghost cultivators.
The six fake infant ghost cultivators were to be dealt with by Chu Lingxi, Zhou Yuwan, Han Chi, Fighting Golden Ape, Fushan Ao, and Cangyue Bei.
It was difficult to determine the winner between the Nascent Soul-level warriors on both sides in a short period of time, but the fight between the fake infant ghost cultivator and the six Golden Core cultivators seemed to have tilted slightly.
Because some of the fake infant ghost cultivators had already suffered heavy damage, and Chu Lingxi and the others were well prepared, bringing with them all the means to restrain the ghost cultivators, such as fire and thunder talismans.
As cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, their combat power should be no less than that of the false infant ghost cultivators. The only drawback is that their magic power is much weaker.
However, these ghost cultivators have been dormant for many years and can only rely on the sea beasts that occasionally break into this place for replenishment. Therefore, they themselves are very weak and their magic power is not at its peak.
In such a fierce battle, it is obvious that Fighting Golden Ape and others have the upper hand.
"I'm afraid we can't fight for long."
At the same time, the ghost cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage above the sky saw this scene and immediately revealed a solemn expression.
So in an instant, he forced Ye Linyuan back with one move, and then suddenly attracted the monstrous blood sharks in the earth veins, and in an instant countless blood mists covered the entire ruins.
"The fourth-order Netherworld Blood Formation."
Ye Linyuan whispered, and immediately activated the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag to cover all directions, taking Shui Hanqing and others into the formation for protection.
But at the same time, outside the huge Xuanyuan Sea-Suppressing Flag, one blood dragon after another rose into the sky, constantly crashing into the sea area of nearly a thousand miles, and violent collisions continued to erupt with the Thunder Dragon.
At this moment, everyone looked at the blood array that was constantly washing away, and a solemn look appeared on their faces again.
Ye Yingxu hesitated for a moment, then said, "This formation is blessed by the power of the earth veins of the ancient ruins, and can continuously summon blood dragons to help."
"Moreover, this blood mist can obscure our perception. If we continue to fight them, I'm afraid we won't be able to outlast them."
"There is indeed some trouble."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "Fortunately, the time interval is too long, and most of the ancient formations have become ineffective. For the time being, I can still resist."
Everyone present nodded slightly. This fourth-level blood formation of the ghost cultivator lineage should have been modified from an ancient formation.
However, the time from ancient times to the present is too long, and most of the formations in this relic have become obsolete. The reason it has been able to survive until now is mostly due to the three Nascent Soul ghost cultivators constantly repairing it by tearing down the east wall and patching up the west wall.
Therefore, the power of this formation is mediocre and it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to Ye Linyuan. It can only be regarded as the combat power of the early Nascent Soul stage.
The more troublesome thing is that this formation can block everyone's perception, and then use the power of the earth veins to continuously activate the blood formation.
With such continuous consumption, when Ye Linyuan and others’ mana is severely depleted, they may not be able to continue this battle.
"We can't let them consume us like this. We must find a way to break the formation as soon as possible."
Shui Hanqing spoke, then looked at Ye Xuqiu.
Ye Xuqiu did not speak, but urged his golden pupil to penetrate the blood mist. After observing for a long time, he finally said, "Three thousand seven hundred miles to the southwest, there is a blood-colored ancient bead hanging in the blood pool. It should be the core of this formation."
"Three thousand seven hundred miles."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and once again felt impressed by Ye Xuqiu's golden eyes that could see through illusions.
Without the help of the Golden Eye, the best we could do was to retreat from the battle, with no chance of finding a way to break the formation.
Now that he knew the location, Ye Linyuan was confident. However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, "Let's pretend to be panicked and get close to the blood-colored ancient bead and then break the center of the formation with one strike."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan immediately urged the sea to float in the air, as if he wanted to find the ghost cultivator in this place for a decisive battle.
But after searching for half an hour, he seemed to have not found any trace of the ghost cultivator, and instead the blood dragon kept draining his magic power.
Just as the battle was about to reach a stalemate, Ye Linyuan finally arrived within a thousand miles of the blood-colored ancient bead.
This was the fourth time he had arrived within a thousand miles of the Blood Ancient Pearl. With everyone's current cultivation level, a distance of a thousand miles could be reached in an instant.
But on the previous three occasions, in order to prevent the ghost cultivators from becoming too alert, they did not take action immediately.
This time, Ye Linyuan nodded to everyone and said, "Let us attract their attention. Xu Qiu, you will break the formation."
Ye Xuqiu nodded, and then explained the locations of those Nascent Soul ghost cultivators.
"Do it."
In an instant, everyone in the Ye family took action.
First, Shui Hanqing and others attacked several fake infant ghost cultivators nearby, and then Ye Linyuan instantly used the Wanhua Sword Technique to slash at several Nascent Soul ghost cultivators.
The ghost cultivators hurriedly resisted, and at this moment Ye Xuqiu took action.
But he instantly burst out with his peak combat power, suddenly summoned the Taiyi Golden Lotus Sword, pierced through the void, and slashed at the weak point of the formation at an incredible angle.
The ghost cultivators present noticed this scene, but it was too late to stop it.
But the golden sword energy instantly broke through the formation, knocked the blood-killing orb flying out on the spot, and completely shattered the formation on the spot.
"not good."
Upon seeing this scene, the three Nascent Soul ghost cultivators instantly felt something was not right and just when they wanted to react it was already too late.
Seeing that the formation was broken and the endless blood mist gradually dissipated, the Ye family seized the opportunity and took action instantly.
At this moment, Ye Linyuan had completely exploded, and he activated his core magical power "The Moon Rising from the Sea".
This core magical power "The Moon Rises from the Sea" is a fusion of "The Moon in the Ninth Heaven", "The Autumn Sky", "The White Moon Spreads Its Light" and "The Bright River Shares Its Shadow", and it has the characteristics of the four major magical powers.
Now that Ye Linyuan has cultivated it to the quasi-great supernatural power, its power has undergone a qualitative change. After being activated, it can even enhance Ye Linyuan's magic power and cultivation in all aspects.
At this moment, with Ye Linyuan's urging, his cultivation, magic power, and soul all skyrocketed in an instant.
Afterwards, he activated the Wanhua Sword Technique once again, and suddenly, a series of monstrous sword fields stirred the world, completely covering the entire mountain and river.
If the upper limit of the power of formations and magic weapons mostly depends on the magic weapons themselves, then the power of supernatural powers depends on their cultivation and one's own cultivation.
Ye Linyuan's Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag and Leijiao Pillar are only third-grade upper-grade formations. Even though they are the top-level third-grade upper-grade formations, the upper limit of their power is comparable to that of a lower-grade spiritual treasure.
Even if it is handed over to a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, this set of magic weapons can only exert the power of low-grade spiritual treasures, because once excessive magic power is input, it will completely explode.
Therefore, most of Ye Linyuan’s combat power now actually comes from his own magical powers, and the formation only accounts for 20% to 30% at most.
Using two sets of formation flags, his real combat power is only at the early Nascent Soul stage. But if he activates various magical powers such as the Wanhua Sword Art and the Rising Moon over the Sea, he will be the top combat power among those in the early Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, Ye Linyuan burst out with all his strength. Endless sword intent stirred the sky. Billions of sword lights completely enveloped the thousands of miles of heaven and earth, turning into a killing sword domain that astonished the world.
Faced with Ye Linyuan's complete outburst, the three ghost cultivators' Nascent Souls simply couldn't break out in a short period of time and were trapped inside, unable to escape.
At this moment, one cannot help but admire the powerful magic power of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. Ye Linyuan possesses thirty times the magic power of a Golden Core Great Perfection. This level of magic power is no weaker than that of most Nascent Soul Stage 2 cultivators.
In addition, the recovery power of "The Moon Rises Over the Sea" surpasses that of "The Autumn Water and the Long Sky", and he can also recover all his mana in a very short time, so even when he fully explodes, his mana is still not stretched. (End of this chapter)
