Chapter 1595: Purple Cloud Perfected Person's Might

A hundred-mile radius was engulfed by dense silver lightning, as if a silver thunderstorm had descended. Flashes of lightning and continuous thunderclaps roared, creating numerous massive craters on the ground. Any demon beast struck by the silver lightning immediately fell, unable to withstand more than three bolts.

The quick-witted young man in green reacted swiftly, transforming into an afterimage as he dodged within the hundred-mile area.

His speed was remarkable, but the silver lightning seemed endless, continuously striking down.

A deafening dragon roar echoed, and a thirty-zhang long silver flood dragon flew in from the distant horizon. Its entire body was covered in shimmering silver scales, and a two-chi long silver horn protruded from its head. Wang Mengbin sat atop the silver flood dragon's head, his expression cold.

Wang Mengbin's entire body crackled with dense silver electric arcs, making him appear like a god of thunder.

"You're quick at dodging, but can you outrun lightning?" Wang Mengbin scoffed, raising a hand and lightly pointing at the thunderclouds high above.

The thunderclouds seemed guided, churning and surging violently. A rumbling thunderclap sounded as countless silver electric arcs wove into an immense silver lightning net, descending upon the young man in green.

The young man in green flapped the wings on his back forcefully, transforming into an afterimage and vanishing, using the Wind Evasion Art.

The silver lightning net enveloped hundreds of demon birds. The birds shrieked upon hitting the net, their bodies instantly charred black.

"Ten Thousand Thunders Roar!"

As Wang Mengyang let out a low cry, the thunderclouds surged violently like a tide. A thousand thick silver lightning bolts shot out, striking the void below, illuminating a radius of several hundred miles in silver.

Boom!

After a tremendous thunderclap, the young man in green fell from the void. His wings were charred black, and his face was slightly pale.

The young man in green had only sustained minor injuries, but the low-level demon beasts were not so lucky. Struck by the silver lightning, they instantly turned to ash, leaving huge craters on the ground.

After a thousand silver lightning bolts struck, the ground was pockmarked and uneven, as if it had been ploughed. Hundreds of charred demon beast corpses lay on the ground, and a strong scent of burning permeated the air.

"True Lord Zixiao, terrifying indeed." Wang Yuerong gasped, her eyes filled with admiration.

The young man in green dared not linger; lightning-based spells could subdue most demon races.

He flapped the wings on his back furiously, generating a powerful airflow. He transformed into a long green rainbow, piercing through the air and covering a hundred zhang in an instant.

He hadn't flown far when a hundred thick silver lightning bolts struck from high above. If the young man in green continued to flee forward, the lightning would strike him.

The young man in green quickly changed direction. A piercing whoosh sounded from behind him as two golden lights shot forth, blurring before appearing directly in front of him, heading straight for his forehead.

The young man in green was startled. His hands, amidst a dazzling green light, transformed into a pair of enormous green eagle claws, striking at the two golden lights!

Clang! Clang!

Two dull thuds of metal clashing sounded, sparks flew. The two golden lights were blocked by the young man in green. The golden lights were, in fact, gleaming golden wheels.

With a flash of golden light, the two golden wheels suddenly erupted with blinding golden light and instantly generated a powerful magnetic force. The young man in green felt as if an invisible giant hand had pressed him down, rendering him unable to move.

A brilliant green light burst from his body. He flapped the feathered wings on his back forcefully, and after a whooshing sound pierced the air, dense green quills shot out, piercing through the golden light, and he regained his freedom.

A purple light shot forth, striking the young man in green's chest instantly and exploding. A vast expanse of purple lightning engulfed his body.

A painful shriek was heard as violent winds raged.

Boom!

A tremendous thunderclap sounded. A small-mountain-sized silver lightning orb flew out from the thunderclouds, carrying an aura of destruction, smashing towards the purple lightning.

With an earth-shattering roar, a silver blazing sun, a thousand zhang in diameter, appeared high in the sky, visible for a thousand miles around.

Two golden lights flew out from within the silver blazing sun. They were, in fact, the two golden wheels, their surfaces stained with blood.

The corpse of the young man in silver fell from the silver blazing sun. The body was charred black and dismembered.

A green light flashed, and a mini green eagle flew out from the corpse.

When a Nascent Soul cultivator's physical body is destroyed, their Nascent Soul can escape and possess another body to regain their cultivation. Similarly, when a Nascent Soul stage demon race's physical body is destroyed, their spirit can escape and seek another body to possess. However, regaining cultivation is much harder for them than for human cultivators.

A green light illuminated the void. A delicate and exquisite small green pagoda descended from the sky, instantly growing larger. A giant green lotus was carved on the surface of the green pagoda. With a flash of green light, the bottom of the green pagoda emitted a swath of green mist, precisely enveloping the mini green eagle and drawing it into the pagoda, where it vanished.

A deafening dragon roar came from high above. A golden flood dragon, over thirty zhang long, appeared in the sky. Wang Qingshan, Meng Tianzheng, and Wang Qiuming stood on the golden flood dragon's back, their expressions indifferent.

Wang Qingshan waved at the green pagoda. The green pagoda rapidly shrank and flew into his sleeve, disappearing.

"The front-line allied army was breached so quickly again; the demon race has actually reached our heartland." Meng Tianzheng said with a frown.

Wang Qingshan looked downwards, his gaze falling upon Cheng Zhenyu and Zheng Nan. He asked softly, "Are you alright? How did the demon race defeat the front-line allied army so quickly?"

The border region between humans and demons is too vast for humans to defend entirely; they can easily be defeated piecemeal by the demon race. If they concentrate heavy troops in one area, the demon race can seize other nearby territories, leading to humans being encircled by the demon forces. Even the hardest turtle shell will eventually be cracked.

Therefore, once the demon race gathers a large number of demon beasts, humans often disperse to break through the encirclement, preserving their fighting strength as much as possible. This is a necessary measure.

"To answer Senior Wang," Cheng Zhenyu explained, his voice anxious, "the demon race suddenly gathered over a million demon beasts, including more than a dozen Fourth-tier demon beasts and combat formations. We were no match for them at all. Oh, and Senior Sun and the others are still resisting the demon race up ahead! We are just a routed contingent from one of the paths."

Cheng Zhenyu greatly admired the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Six Great Immortal Sects who stayed behind to cover the retreat, buying time for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to escape.

"We will go and support Fellow Daoist Sun and the others. Jiyun, Youwei, Yingjie, we leave this area to you." Wang Qingshan gave his instructions. The golden flood dragon beneath him roared and flew towards the sky. The silver flood dragon followed closely. Four Nascent Soul cultivators headed to the front line for support, while Wang Youwei and others were responsible for dealing with the Core Formation stage demon beasts and half-demons.

Decades ago, in the Northern Frontier Insect Extermination War, the Wang family suffered many casualties among their Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, but not many clan members went for that extermination.

This time, the Wang family dispatched three Nascent Soul cultivators and fifteen Core Formation cultivators.
