Upon hearing this, everyone present looked solemn.
Such a group of sky whales is really too powerful. Even if the seven domain alliances join forces, they can probably only fight a defensive battle.
Otherwise, in a head-on battle in the outside world, the Seven Domain Alliance would most likely be completely defeated.
Thinking of this, Elder Qingyan said, "Not only is the whale tribe huge in number, but there is also a demon king in the late Jindan stage. If we go out to sea to fight them head-on, I'm afraid there is no hope of success."
"For now, we can only rely on the Tianxing Sword Sect and see if we can use the formation to gain an opportunity to defeat the enemy."
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but nod slightly.
Only the desolate sword master's expression changed slightly, and then he said decisively: "No!"
When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, as if they did not expect the Lord of the Desolate Sword to say this.
Ye Linyuan guessed something, so he couldn't help but look at the Lord of the Desolate Sword.
As expected, the Desolate Sword Master was silent for a moment, and then said: "Under my Tianxing Sword Sect, an ominous creature has been suppressed."
“If we fight a giant whale in the late Jindan stage here, it is very likely to wake up that ominous creature.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a look of doubt.
The master of the desolate sword hesitated for a moment, and finally said directly: "My Tianxing Sword Sect has suppressed a dormant heaven and earth true spirit."
"The great catastrophe of heaven and earth more than a thousand years ago was caused by that true spirit of heaven and earth."
When everyone present heard this, they immediately showed a trace of fear.
Elder Qingyan was so frightened that he trembled a little, and couldn't help asking, "That heaven and earth true spirit..."
"Yes, an adult true spirit of heaven and earth."
The Lord of Desolate Sword spoke, and then said with a dim gaze: "His life span is running out, and he can only prolong his life by sleeping. But if he can swallow a great late-stage Jindan, he can slightly restore his vitality."
When the Jindan masters present heard this, they were so frightened that they could hardly sit still, and cold sweats broke out on them all.
An adult true spirit of heaven and earth is, at the very least, a dominant being in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and would be one of the top powerhouses in the Cang Ling Sea.
Such a peerless spirit could turn them into ashes with just a breath.
Now tell them that they are above the real spirit, how can they not be terrified?
Noticing everyone's expressions, the Desolate Sword Master pondered for a moment, then said, "You don't have to worry too much."
"For the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth, ordinary Jindan cultivators are not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. It is not worth it for Him to wake up and devour us."
"Even in the late Jindan stage, it can only restore a little vitality to them, and it has no effect on restoring their lifespan, so it is not enough to cause them to wake up."
As the Lord of the Desolate Sword spoke, everyone present roughly understood the cause and effect.
It turns out that under the Tianxing Fairy City, there is an extremely terrifying spirit of heaven and earth suppressed. Because his life span is not long, he spends most of his time in deep sleep.
The true spirit of heaven and earth would awaken once every thousand years. Every time it awakened, it would devour the entire Seven Domain Alliance and countless cultivators in dozens of surrounding seas in order to restore its vitality.
In the past ten thousand years, every time the true spirit of heaven and earth awakens, it is the most terrible disaster for the surrounding sea areas.
It was not until later that the Tianxing Sword Sect suddenly rose to prominence. The Tianxing Sword Sect mastered the ancient sword heritage and reached its heyday about a thousand years ago.
At that time, the Tianxing Sword Sect was one of the strongest Jindan forces in the regional alliance. There were dozens of Jindan sword masters in the lineage, including an invincible sword immortal who had reached the great perfection of Jindan.
At that time, dozens of Jindan sword masters from the Tianxing Sword Sect sacrificed their lives to sacrifice their swords, which revived the ancient sword spirit in the ancient sword, thus preventing the revived true spirit of heaven and earth from being born.
But after that battle, the Tianxing Sword Sect was completely devastated, and even after a thousand years it still has not recovered.
"The pioneers of our Tianxing Sword Sect used the ancient sword sacrifice method to severely damage the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth. Coupled with the seal of the ancient formation, it fell into a deeper slumber."
"It is precisely because of this that the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth did not appear in the world more than two hundred years ago."
The Lord of Desolate Sword spoke slowly and finally said with a serious look: "But if we are in the Tianxing Continent and a battle breaks out among the late Jindan, there is a certain possibility that it will be awakened again."
When everyone present heard this, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
At this point, they finally understood why the late Jindan cultivators from the outside world were unwilling to come to the Seven Domain Alliance.
For a true spirit of heaven and earth that is in deep sleep, the best thing is to let it continue to sleep, and it would be best if it could die completely in its sleep.
Once He wakes up, it will be a catastrophe for not only the Seven Domain Alliance, but the entire Five Elements Sea.
Because the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth was hurt more seriously a thousand years ago, Su Xing will definitely need to devour more lives in order to recover his vitality. By then, who except the Five Elements Taoist Sect can guarantee that they can protect themselves?
Therefore, those late Jindan cultivators in the Five Elements Sea did not dare to come to the Seven Domain Alliance. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of awakening the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth, it was not worth their risk.
"We understand."
Elder Qingyan spoke slowly, and then couldn't help asking, "But if we don't have the Tianxing Sword Sect's mountain protection formation, how can we continue this battle?"
"I can only play my trump card."
The Lord of Desolate Sword spoke, then looked at everyone and said, "My Tianxing Sword Sect has a trump card that can allow this old man to unleash the combat power of the late Jindan period."
"But this trump card is extremely costly, and you will need to pay a certain price."
Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
In this battle, Ye Linyuan has shown combat power that is almost comparable to that of a late Jindan. If the Lord of the Desolate Sword can also possess the combat power of a late Jindan, then they may have the possibility of completely turning defeat into victory.
Knowing this, everyone present more or less took out a considerable amount of compensation.
After everyone paid a sum of compensation, the Lord of Desolate Sword looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "Please help me deal with the leader of that day whale, so that I can find a good opportunity to defeat the enemy."
"it is good."
Ye Linyuan nodded and immediately felt the pressure reduced.
At this point, the two sides finished their discussion and headed towards the Xuanyuan Sea again.
Compared with the embarrassment when they retreated, this time the Seven Domain Alliance counterattacked and summoned more than thirty Jindan masters.
Among them, the Tianxing Sword sent out six great sword masters, the Ye family immortals and guest officials together sent out twelve golden elixir masters, and five golden elixir masters also arrived from the Qingniu demon realm.
In addition to these twenty-three great Jindan masters, several major forces such as the Sanyuan Alliance, the Xinghuo Sect, the Xinghen Palace, and the Changqing Immortal Sect have sent at least one or two great Jindan masters, and some have also sent several Jindan cultivators.
Including puppets, spirit beasts and other trump cards, their golden elixir combat power totals thirty-seven, which is very close to the Sky Whale clan.
The two sides finally engaged in a fierce battle at the border of the Tianxing Sea and the Xuanyuan Sea, where they fought with the Sky Whale tribe that had just finished their repairs and were coming to kill them.
This time, there was no one-sided situation, but instead it was almost a stalemate.
As the strongest cultivator in the Seven Domain Alliance, Ye Linyuan directly stopped the Sky Whale leader and engaged in a stalemate with him. In a blink of an eye, they had fought for more than a hundred moves, but the two were still evenly matched.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, please use all your strength to force it to use all its means."
Seeing the stalemate on the battlefield, the Lord of the Desolate Sword immediately spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded, and then decisively used the Wanhua Sword Technique, condensing the infinite sword domain into a giant sky-cutting sword, and chopped it down from the sky with great force.
Even those in the late Jindan stage did not dare to take such an attack head-on, so the Sky Whale leader naturally did not dare to be negligent and could only burst out with all his strength to block it.
The master of the Desolate Sword nodded slightly, looked at the Desolate Ancient Sword in his hand and said, "Senior, I have nurtured you with the sword-binding method for hundreds of years, and now it is time for you to recover some of your vitality."
"Now that a powerful enemy is in front of us, I beg you to lend me a helping hand."
"Om-"
As the Lord of the Desolate Sword finished speaking, the ancient sword suddenly burst into brown and yellow light.
Paths of energy intertwined and flowed out, blending with the cultivation of the Lord of the Desolate Sword.
In an instant, the cultivation level of the Lord of the Desolate Sword skyrocketed, and he almost stepped into the late Golden Core realm in the blink of an eye, and even almost touched the threshold of the eighth level of the Golden Core.
"kill!"
After his cultivation level skyrocketed, the Lord of Desolate Sword instantly attacked with his sword, catching the leader of the Sky Whale off guard and forcing him to retreat. Although the giant whale was powerful, it was unable to resist the siege of two sword cultivators who were comparable to the late Jindan stage, and was soon beaten back.
After just a few dozen moves, it had already been wounded one after another. If it continued to fight, it would be in danger of being seriously injured and dying.
Realizing that something was wrong, the Sky Whale leader wanted to escape immediately.
"It's now."
But at this moment, a golden sword light broke through the void and slashed straight towards the wound of the Sky Whale leader.
I have to admit that Ye Xuqiu's golden pupil that can see through illusions and the Fire Sea Golden Lotus Technique are a perfect match.
With his ultimate explosive power comparable to that of a late Jindan, and his golden eyes that could see through the weaknesses of powerful enemies, he instantly grasped the key weakness of the Sky Whale leader.
But the Taiyi Golden Lotus Sword broke through the air and instantly tore open the wound of the Sky Whale leader, causing him to be seriously injured and bleeding.
The most crucial thing was that this moment of obstruction allowed Ye Linyuan and the Lord of the Desolate Sword to seize the opportunity and launch their most powerful attack on the leader of the Sky Whale.
"Ow—"
The Sky Whale leader roared, and finally erupted with the power to overturn the ocean, forcibly knocking Ye Linyuan's Xuanyuan Sea-Suppressing Flag away, and disappeared into the depths of the vast void.
Ye Linyuan took a look and immediately said, "No need to pursue."
The Sky Whale leader, who is in the late Jindan stage, is not only incredibly powerful, but also has terrifyingly strong vitality.
If Ye Xuqiu had not seized the opportunity to inflict severe damage on him, allowing Ye Linyuan and the other man to follow up with a full-strength attack, the giant whale would have only suffered minor injuries at most, which would have been enough to cover the retreat of the Sky Whale Clan.
Even though he was attacked by three people, and although his injuries were very serious, he was not on the verge of death.
If they continued to chase it, it would be difficult for them to kill it, and they might even lose several Jindan monks to it as it fought desperately.
Instead of wasting time, it would be better to help Shui Hanqing and the others kill a few giant whales to relieve the pressure on others on the battlefield.
At this time, as the Sky Whale leader returned severely injured, the entire Sky Whale tribe began to retreat.
They beat the fallen dogs along the way and killed several adult sky whales in succession. Although the leader of the sky whales was extremely unwilling, it was already seriously injured at this time and was unable to protect the tribe to evacuate safely.
The crowd chased them all the way and chased them to tens of thousands of miles outside the Seven Domain Alliance. Finally, they waited until the Sky Whale tribe completely disappeared into the deep sea, and then they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was not until this time that they counted the battlefield and found that they had killed a total of sixteen adult Sky Whales, including two middle-aged Sky Whales in the Golden Core stage.
In addition, they also captured three young sky whales, which can be said to be a great harvest.
Of course, the cost of this battle was not low. Two Jindan masters from the Seven Domain Alliance were killed in the battle. One of them was the Demon King of the Qingniu Demon Domain, and the other was the Tianhe ancestor of the Sanyuan Alliance.
The old man Tianhe was really too old, and this battle almost exhausted his last bit of energy and blood.
"Does Fellow Daoist Tianhe have any last words?" After learning that Patriarch Tianhe had passed away, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but ask.
The old man Wu Xing's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he sighed and said, "Both of Brother Tianhe's disciples died at the hands of your Ye family, and the other disciples can no longer protect his family business."
"He came to join the battle this time in the hope that you can forget the grudges and protect his descendants."
When Ye Linyuan heard this, he immediately called everyone together and said, "Daoyou Tianhe sacrificed himself for the Seven Realms Alliance. I would like to leave his legacy to his descendants. Do you have any opinions?"
When everyone heard this, they all had no opinions.
Today, the Ye family is at its peak, and Ye Linyuan has demonstrated strength that is almost comparable to that of a late Jindan. There is no need to offend Ye Linyuan for the sake of ancestor Tianhe's relics.
After all, although the treasures of the Tianhe Patriarch are good, they are nothing compared to the spoils of this battle.
Although the whale tribe came here to seek revenge on the Ye family, they suffered an unexpected disaster, but after all, they achieved such a great victory under the leadership of the Ye family.
Compared with the treasures that are about to be distributed, this unexpected disaster is nothing.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Linyuan said, "This war was caused by my Ye family. I can compensate those who died in the battle with two Jindan pills, or equivalent Jindan spiritual objects."
"Let us distribute the treasures we have captured according to our military achievements."
Everyone present had no objection when they heard this.
Seeing this, everyone began to distribute the treasures.
In terms of distribution based on military merit, the Ye family contributed the most in this battle. After all, together with the guest officials, there were a total of twelve Jindan masters who participated in the battle.
Among them, Ye Linyuan was a seventh-level Jindan fighter, and Ye Xuqiu's explosive sword was also the key reason that determined the outcome of this battle, so the clan accounted for 50% of the military merit.
The second is the Tianxing Sword Sect. The six sword masters of the Tianxing Sword Sect are secondary. The key is that after the Master of the Desolate Sword revived part of the power of the sword soul, his combat power stepped into the seventh level of the Golden Core, which was one of the key factors for victory in the war.
Therefore, the Tianxing Sword Sect accounted for 30% of the military merits, and the remaining 20% were accounted for by other major forces.
These major forces have relatively few golden elixirs, and none of them have the combat power of the late golden elixir stage. It is already quite good that they can account for 20% of the battle merit together.
In the end, after some distribution, the Ye family immortal clan and the Tianxing Sword Sect each received the remains of a sky whale in the middle stage of the Jindan stage.
In addition, the Ye family also received the complete remains of seven sky whales, as well as the flesh and blood of all the sky whales.
The flesh and blood of these demon kings are the best resources for cultivating combat bodies. They are enough for Ye Linyuan and Ye Chongyun to cultivate their combat bodies to the limit of minor success combat bodies.
Except for the Ye family, other Jindan forces did not have Jindan body cultivators, so they were naturally not interested in these flesh and blood, and gave them all to Ye Linyuan without hesitation.
As the price of the transaction, Ye Linyuan did not take any of the three young sky whales, and gave them to the Qingniu Demon Territory and the Tianxing Sword Sect respectively.
The former was to be trained as a demon king, while the latter was to be contracted and trained into a mountain guardian beast.
After distributing the harvest, Ye Linyuan looked at everyone and said, "This time the Sky Whale tribe suffered heavy casualties, and the Sky Whale leader was also seriously injured. I'm afraid they don't have the strength to fight back against us within sixty years."
Everyone smiled when they heard this.
Elder Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then stroked his beard and said, "We lost sixteen adult Sky Whales, and we also captured three young Sky Whales. The size of their group has been reduced by two-fifths."
"Even if they recover, I'm afraid they won't be able to counterattack our Seven Domain Alliance."
The Lord of Desolate Sword was not optimistic. He said with a serious expression, "But after all, we have not been able to completely resolve the problem. I am afraid there will be another fierce battle in the future."
"When I reach the late stage of the Golden Core, I will find a chance to resolve the cause and effect."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked at the Green Bull Demon King and said, "Ten years later, I will open a furnace to refine the Golden Pill. I wonder if you need the Golden Pill or other treasures?"
Upon hearing this, the Green Bull Demon King immediately asked, "I heard that you are good at growing bloodline spiritual medicines. Do you have any bloodline fruits or bloodline pills?"
"Bloodline Fruits are too rare. I don't have any below the third level anymore."
Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said: "But I have a second-level rare blood jade flower and blood spirit grass. After refining them into pills, I can give you two of each."
"Thank you very much."
Upon hearing this, the Green Bull Demon King heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Linyuan didn't say much. After bowing to everyone one by one, he returned to the Xuanyuan Islands.
After the ravages of the Sky Whale Clan, the Xuanyuan Islands have changed drastically. The spiritual veins and earth veins are still fine, but the dozen acres of high-quality blood spirit fields have been destroyed.
In particular, those low- and medium-quality bloodline elixirs that they did not have time to pick were all devoured by the Sky Whale tribe.
Fortunately, all the bloodline elixirs above the second level were taken away by Shui Hanqing using special means to preserve their vitality, so replanting them will not have much impact.
"What a pity. It may be troublesome to restore this spiritual field."
Looking at the dilapidated Xuanyuan Islands, Shui Hanqing couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Ye Linyuan's brows couldn't help but frown slightly. He was not feeling sorry for the Blood Spirit Field and the Bloodline Spirit Medicine.
After all, as long as the blood spirit soil is still there, with Ye Linyuan's spiritual planting skills, it will not be difficult to restore this top-grade blood spirit field. Low-quality blood spirit medicines can be planted in one crop a year, which is not a big loss.
What really troubled him was that the Xuanyuan Sea was too close to the open sea and was much less safe than the Yueyuan Sea. (End of this chapter)
