Chapter 928 The Situation Reverses, Humanity Suffers Heavy Losses
A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and he charged forward first.
"Roar!"
Ao Wudi roared and transformed into his true form, a giant azure dragon that circled in the air, its massive claws tearing through the air as it reached for the portable cave dwelling.
Xuan Yue and Xuan Jiang also activated their gravity domains without hesitation and joined the fray.
The Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower is so precious that it is safest for it to be kept by the Xuanwu Clan.
Chaos erupted on the battlefield, with roars of demonic beasts and cries of alarm from human cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage rising and falling.
The sky and sea were once again covered by various magical spells and supernatural powers, with colorful spiritual lights intertwined and a murderous aura permeating the air.
Although there were only thirty demons, their cultivation level was at least at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. They had powerful bloodlines and strong bodies. Anyone weaker would have been captured by the human race and imprisoned in the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower long ago.
Meanwhile, on the human side, over thirty cultivators went to Wushuang City to lay an ambush.
Thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators, whose lifespans were already limited, were killed on the spot by the life sacrifice of the Tree of Life. More than thirty other Nascent Soul cultivators suffered severe loss of lifespan and greatly reduced strength.
Furthermore, with the successive killings of Samsara Venerable and "Wang Bin," although the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the human race is greater than that of the demon race, the human race is now leaderless, and the morale of the human race has plummeted.
Sword Master has also gone to Wushuang City, and now there isn't even anyone who can take charge of the overall situation.
Several human cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, along with Feng Jiutian and the others, exchanged glances, their divine senses scanning the surroundings.
They were already considering retreating, but due to the surrounding battle situation, they didn't dare to run away directly.
"Ah! A sea of blood stretches to the heavens!"
Zhang Yuntun's face turned deathly pale. While spitting out blood, he unleashed the Blood Sea Overwhelming Secret Technique and frantically fled backward.
Just now, Zhang Wu, the strongest ancestor of the Zhang family, died the moment the Tree of Life launched its life sacrifice.
Although Zhang Wu has the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his lifespan is already insufficient. In recent years, he has relied on exchanging for the essence blood of various Nascent Soul realm demon beasts to refine in order to barely maintain his lifespan of eight hundred years.
Today they also captured a dragon in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and imprisoned it in the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower.
Not long ago, Zhang Yuntun and Zhang Zizai were still discussing the rise of the Zhang family, but unexpectedly, their ancestor died in an instant.
Faced with this secret technique that directly extracts lifespan, all defenses become a joke.
This was also the first time they had witnessed the terror of the laws of life—who said the laws of life can only save people?
The moment the ancestor died, the clan's only low-grade spiritual treasure lost control. Without hesitation, the spirit of the artifact wrapped up the Blood Soul Banner and fled using Blood Escape, disappearing without a trace.
The Zhang family lost most of its strength at once. Zhang Yun and Zhang Zizai's lifespans were greatly reduced, and they could not even exert a third of their strength. They were also targeted by Ao Linglong.
After only three moves, Zhang Yuntun was already seriously injured and almost died.
The situation was even worse elsewhere, with human cultivators suffering repeated defeats and on the verge of collapse.
"Kill! Everyone, don't panic!"
Just then, a loud voice resounded across the battlefield. Venerable Blazing Fire led more than a dozen cultivators proficient in fifth-order formations.
Having set up formations on the periphery, they were unaffected by the life domain and were now able to step forward to stabilize morale.
As the third elder of the major sect, he naturally knew that he couldn't panic at this time; maintaining a strong presence was crucial.
"The Reincarnation Venerable has only lost one of his avatars! The demon race is already at its last gasp!"
They actually dared to launch a preemptive strike; they're practically courting death!
The Sword Master's thirty-odd fellow cultivators have received the news and are on their way to provide support!
As soon as he finished speaking, a thousand-meter-tall Dharma image appeared behind Venerable Fiery Blaze. The Dharma image held a large sword and slashed out with it.
A thousand-meter-long raging fire, carrying intense heat, slashed directly at a giant eight-armed octopus waving its tentacles.
"That's right! The Venerable Samsara only died an avatar!"
Another Nascent Soul Realm expert also reacted and shouted loudly:
"Sword Master and the others will be back to provide support in less than a quarter of an hour!"
Besides, we still have fifty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who can fight. What are we afraid of! Kill them!
The other Nascent Soul cultivators and demonic beasts' eyes lit up upon hearing this.
That's right! Only a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators have fallen. On the human side, including the artifact spirits and ghost cultivators, there are still 160 Nascent Soul experts.
Aside from those who have temporarily lost their fighting ability and those who went to ambush in Wushuang City, there are still over a hundred who can fight!
Once they understood this, all the cultivators' eyes lit up, and their minds became much more active.
Many people's eyes were drawn to Ping Tian, Ao Wudi, and Xuan Yue—the three storage rings, one personal cave dwelling, and one spiritual treasure armor left behind by "Wang Bin" after his death had already been divided up among the three of them.
The Nine Hells Spirit-Slaying Tower must be among them!
After what has happened over this period of time, which Nascent Soul Realm expert present did not know the power of the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower?
Those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm are all geniuses, one in a billion, and they believe they can also master the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower.
After receiving some advice from Venerable Liehuo, the morale of the human cultivators soared, and the battle situation was reversed once again, with both sides fighting back and forth.
Ping Tian, Ao Wudi, and the other two were instantly surrounded and attacked by more than a dozen human cultivators.
Ping Tian was furious. He had only managed to snatch two storage rings; the portable cave dwelling that was most likely to contain the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower had been taken by Xuan Yue.
He quickly scanned the two storage rings with his divine sense and was shocked—nothing there!
The Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower isn't inside! With his familiarity with the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower, he's sure he can sense it if it's in either of those two storage rings.
Ping Tian immediately looked at Xuan Yue, and Xuan Yue also happened to turn his gaze to him.
"The Nine Hells Spirit-Slaying Tower is not with me!"
"The item is not in my possession!"
The two spoke up at the same time to explain, and then both turned their gazes toward Ao Wudi.
At this moment, Ao Wudi was being suppressed by Lei Huang and three Nascent Soul Realm experts. The lightning law was inherently effective against all kinds of demonic beasts, and Ao Wudi was unable to break free for the time being.
Ping Tian's mind raced. He didn't believe Xuan Yue's words. What if the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower was in Xuan Yue's hands? Wouldn't he have wasted his time?
Just then, the figure of the Tree of Life stepped out and arrived near Pingtian.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators on the battlefield instinctively stopped their attacks, and no one dared to provoke her easily—the terrifying method of sacrificing life was still vivid in everyone's memory.
The Tree of Life sacrificed an avatar to unleash such a terrifying secret technique, ignoring all defenses and directly draining the lifespan of living beings.
Each cultivator's lifespan is extremely precious. If she were to sacrifice her life again, few of those present would survive.
If it weren't for the Reincarnation Venerable sacrificing an avatar to activate the Chaos Domain, the human race would have lost far more than thirteen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators this time.
The Venerable Fiery Flame merely kept his divine sense locked onto the Tree of Life, watching it from afar. If he sensed anything amiss, he was prepared to flee immediately.
"Where is the Nine Hells Spirit-Slaying Tower?" the Tree of Life asked, its voice tinged with coldness.
"The item isn't in my possession!"
"I don't have the item!"
Ping Tian and Xuan Yue denied it again, and all three of them stared intently at Ao Wudi.
Ao Wudi was overjoyed. He had snatched a spirit armor and a storage ring. Perhaps the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower was right here with him!
A flash of lightning appeared in Lei Huang's eyes, and he was overjoyed—he never expected that the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower was actually on Ao Wudi!
Even if it costs us a great deal, we must keep Ao Wudi here and seize the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower!
"The Thirty-Six Heavenly Swords Formation! Activate!"
