Chapter 1637: Arriving at the Frontline

In a vast, boundless sea, tens of thousands of cultivators were locked in combat. Continuous explosions rang out, and their blood stained the waters crimson.

High in the sky, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators were engaged in battle.

Li Tianyang held a short, crimson-glowing ruler, his expression cold. Opposite him stood a burly man in a green robe. The green-robed man had a brutish face, large hands and feet, and wore a pair of gleaming green gauntlets on his hands.

Since the war began, over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from the Eastern Glaze Realm had fallen, while more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators from the Azure Waves Realm had also perished.

Spirit Transformation cultivators had clashed several times, but those from the Eastern Glaze Realm were at a disadvantage. The Eastern Glaze Realm's main advantage was fighting on home ground, which made troop deployment convenient.

After some time in combat, Li Tianyang discovered a weakness among the Azure Waves Realm cultivators. While the Azure Waves Realm had many powerful experts, their practical combat experience was relatively limited. Cultivators at the mid-Nascent Soul stage and above were quite strong, but for those below the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the Eastern Glaze Realm cultivators were more formidable.

The burly man in green was named Song Han, a mid-Nascent Soul stage body cultivator.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators had already died by his hand. Even Li Tianyang, a late-Nascent Soul cultivator, could only manage to hold Song Han at bay.

The crimson short ruler in Li Tianyang's hand flared brightly, and thousands of crimson ruler-shadows swept out, heading straight for his opponent.

Specks of firelight emerged in the void, transforming into a hundred-zhang-wide crimson lotus that hurtled towards his opponent.

Li Tianyang flipped his hand and took out an ancient-looking crimson lotus lamp. He opened his mouth and spat out a jet of crimson flames, igniting the wick.

With a loud bird cry, a hundred-zhang-sized crimson peacock flew out from the wick, carrying immense heat waves as it swooped towards his opponent.

Song Han's expression grew solemn. The green gauntlets on his hands suddenly glowed brightly. He moved his arms, and the sound of tearing wind intensified as dense green fist-shadows shot out, meeting the incoming attacks.

A tremendous explosion rang out. The crimson flames and the red lotus were shattered by the dense green fist-shadows. Flames splashed onto some Foundation Establishment cultivators, who immediately let out screams of agony, incinerated to ashes.

A gust of hot wind swept past Song Han's back as a hundred-zhang-sized crimson peacock suddenly appeared behind him.

After a loud peacock cry, the crimson peacock's claws lashed out at Song Han.

Song Han moved his arms, and dense green fist-shadows shot out, striking the crimson peacock.

Boom!

After a deafening roar, the crimson peacock was shattered by the dense green fist-shadows, transforming into a vast sea of crimson flames that enveloped Song Han, with immense heat waves surging.

However, very quickly, a dazzling green light glowed within the crimson sea of flames. The crimson sea of flames rapidly dispersed, and Song Han emerged completely unharmed.

"Fellow Daoist Li, save me!"

A man's panicked voice suddenly reached Li Tianyang's ears. Li Tianyang looked towards the source of the sound and saw a miniature Nascent Soul holding a green orb flying towards him. Behind the miniature Nascent Soul were hundreds of thousands of green beetles.

From a distance, the green beetles appeared oval-shaped, with four wings on their backs and exposed fangs.

"It's the Zhao Family from Thousand Spirit Mountain again!"

Li Tianyang frowned. The Zhao Family of Thousand Spirit Mountain was a cultivation family from the Azure Waves Realm, skilled in controlling spirit insects and beasts. Since the war began, Zhao Family cultivators had used their spirit insects and beasts to kill several Nascent Soul cultivators. Only cultivators from Myriad Beast Island could somewhat withstand them.

Just as Li Tianyang was about to intervene and save him, a massive red tiger with a pair of green flesh wings on its back pounced towards him. Simultaneously, a hazy green giant axe descended from the sky, cleaving towards Li Tianyang.

The crimson jade ruler in his hand emitted a red light. With a flick towards the void, a red light barrier appeared out of thin air.

He flicked his wrist, and a dragon-eye sized crimson orb shot out. After a blur, the crimson orb transformed into a thousand-zhang-wide crimson fire cloud, meeting the green beetles.

The green beetles collided with the crimson fire cloud. A large number of green beetles fell from the sky, but very quickly, the fallen ones flew up again, swarming the crimson fire cloud.

Hundreds of thousands of green beetles enveloped the crimson fire cloud. In less than three breaths, the crimson fire cloud was completely consumed by the hundreds of thousands of green beetles.

Li Tianyang was slightly startled. He couldn't sense his magical treasure, which had clearly been swallowed by the hundreds of thousands of green beetles.

Seizing this opportunity, the miniature Nascent Soul fled a thousand zhang away.

A strange peacock cry rang out as a golden peacock with four wings on its back suddenly appeared above the miniature Nascent Soul. The miniature Nascent Soul quickly conjured the green orb in its hand. The golden peacock spat out a golden mist, covering the green orb, and its sharp claws reached for the miniature Nascent Soul.

Li Tianyang wanted to intervene and save him, but Song Han, wielding a pair of green giant axes, charged towards him.

As Song Han was a mid-Nascent Soul stage body cultivator, Li Tianyang dared not be careless and immediately cast spells to attack him.

The miniature Nascent Soul glowed with green light, instantly vanishing and reappearing a thousand zhang away the next moment.

Just then, a piercing whooshing sound rang out as a hundred-zhang-long green spear shot forth. The green spear was composed of countless green beetles.

The green spear was incredibly fast, quickly reaching the miniature Nascent Soul and seemingly about to pierce right through it.

After a rapid burst of zither music, a hazy blue sound wave shot out and collided with the green spear.

Boom!

A tremendous roar erupted. The green spear shattered into hundreds of thousands of green beetles. Thousands of green beetles fell from the sky, yet their bodies showed no signs of injury.

Zhao Hengbin saw this scene and frowned slightly. He looked towards the distant horizon as a dazzling green light streaked across the sky, appearing opposite him.

The green light receded, revealing a green lotus throne. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood atop the lotus throne.

Wang Changsheng's expression was indifferent, his hands clasped behind his back, while Wang Ruyan held a golden lotus zither, her expression cold.

"The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple!"

Zhao Hengbin's expression grew solemn. According to the intelligence they had gathered, the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple possessed extraordinary strength and were proficient in combined attacks, not much weaker than the Sun and Moon Twin Saints.

Seizing this opportunity, the miniature Nascent Soul flew back to the Eastern Glaze Realm cultivators' formation.

"Junior Brother Zhao, let us handle the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple. You go deal with the others!"

A somewhat rough male voice suddenly rang out as a burly man in a red robe flew over. Beside him was a cold-faced young woman in a silver dress.

Both were late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators, a married couple named Long Yun and Lu Feng.

"The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple are no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. Let us join forces too!"

Two young men with identical features flew over. One, a tall and slender youth in a yellow robe, carried a massive yellow gourd on his back. The other, a short and stout youth in a blue robe, carried a massive blue gourd on his back.

These were the Qiankun Twins. Both were mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators and twin brothers. Their minds were connected, allowing them to know each other's thoughts without needing to speak, and their coordination was superb. Since the war began, they had killed two Nascent Soul cultivators.
