The core components of these seven puppets are all at the Nascent Soul level. Theoretically, they can burst out with Nascent Soul combat power, but due to the lack of other materials, they cannot exert their full power.
Therefore, according to Ye Linyuan's estimation, these seven puppets after being re-refined are comparable to top-level golden elixirs, and can probably briefly burst out the combat power of a fake infant level.
And using this army formation of puppets, they should be able to resist the two Fake Infant ancestors head-on. If the opponent is not prepared, it will be no problem for them to severely damage a Yuanying True Lord.
In addition to these, Ye Linyuan also prepared more than a dozen fourth-order sky thunder beads, which are also trump cards that are enough to severely damage Yuanying Zhenjun.
He gave several of them to Ye Xuqiu and Ye Yingxu. Especially Ye Xuqiu, who possessed the golden pupil that could see through delusion, received a powerful fourth-order intermediate-grade sky thunder bead.
By the time Ye Linyuan had prepared to this point, the alliance of the twelve major Jindan forces on the other side had already attacked to the front of Chilong Mountain, and Lihuo Chijiao had also reached the final step of becoming king through battle.
“There is no more time to prepare.”
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then quietly came to the outside of Chilong Mountain.
At this moment, outside the huge Red Dragon Mountain, a great battle had reached its climax.
Millions of cultivators are frantically attacking the Chilong Mountain's protective formation, among which twelve flags are particularly dazzling.
This represents twelve families and sects, which is an alliance formed by the remnants of the sects and families that were destroyed by Ye Linyuan in the past.
Among these twelve families, there are four strongest Jindan families.
They are the Liu family, a top immortal clan that has achieved the great perfection of the Golden Elixir. This lineage mainly practices the methods of thunder and fire. More than five hundred years ago, their ancestor, the Fake Infant, was killed by the Red Dragon Sword Master.
Now, after four hundred years, the Liu family has not only produced a Jindan Great Perfection elder, but also two Jindan late stage elders, almost recovering most of their former strength.
The remaining three families include the Luan family, a water-cultivating family that controls the Yuanchen Water Control Flag, the Beast Taming Sect that excels in taming beasts, and the Taoist Refining Sect that excels in Taoist soldiers and formations.
The strength of these three families varies, but at least they have a late Jindan master in charge. The powerful ones even have two or three late Jindan masters to suppress the sect.
In addition to the four major families, there are two independent cultivators in the late Jindan stage.
One of them was someone Ye Linyuan had dealt with in his previous life, he was the famous old man Qingxuan who was at the eighth level of the Golden Core Stage in Chixia Continent, and the other one was a cultivator at the seventh level of the Golden Core Stage whom Ye Linyuan had never seen before.
Together, these four major families have nine people in the late Jindan stage. It can be said that both their strength and foundation are extremely profound.
“I never thought that there were still so many remnants left.”
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, pinching his brows coldly.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone these Jindan forces that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.
If anyone is to blame, it should be that he committed too many sins of killing in his previous life in order to seek resources for cultivation, thus leaving too many hidden dangers for the Ye family's immortal clan.
But there was nothing that could be done about it, since Ye Linyuan in his previous life was born into a foundation-building immortal clan and was good at refining equipment among the hundreds of arts of cultivation.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the importance of resources is self-evident.
Without materials, Ye Linyuan would never be able to improve his weapon refining skills.
There are only so many high-level refining materials. Why would others let you refine them?
The results of handing a third-grade upper-quality material over to a third-grade middle-quality weapon refiner and handing it over to a third-grade upper-quality weapon refiner are completely different.
Although giving it to a third-level mid-grade weapon refiner is likely to improve the weapon refining skills, why would others be willing to risk reducing the quality of their magic weapon and give you precious materials to practice with?
Therefore, there is a paradox in improving the art of refining equipment.
If you cannot improve your refining skills, others will not give you high-level refining materials for refining.
But if you can't get high-level refining materials, how can you improve your refining skills?
Moreover, this paradox can also be applied to many other cultivation techniques such as alchemy, formations, puppetry, talisman making, etc.
It is precisely because of this that high-level spiritual plant husbands are so popular, because they can control the most basic means of production and can continuously produce high-level materials.
Theoretically speaking, as long as one practices enough times, even a person with average qualifications can become a master of all arts of cultivation.
But Ye Linyuan was not a high-level spiritual plant husband in his previous life, and he did not have so many resources to make friends with spiritual plant husbands, so the only thing he could do was to start a war and obtain various cultivation resources from the war.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan lived for nearly eight hundred years and fought with various major forces for nearly eight hundred years. Otherwise, he would not have been able to refine a fourth-level spiritual treasure.
"There are quite a lot of remnants, but we still can't take over Red Dragon Mountain with just them."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, looking towards Chilong Mountain with a slightly determined gaze.
After more than a thousand years of accumulation, the foundation of Chilong Mountain can be described as extremely powerful, especially in the years after Ye Linyuan's death, Chilong Mountain has been dormant for more than four hundred years in a low-key manner.
During this long period of time, the strength of the Ye family in Chilong Mountain increased dramatically. Not only did they control a giant third-grade superior spirit vein with thirty-six spirit ponds, but they also had a large number of Jindan monks in the sect.
After four hundred years of accumulation, there are already more than thirty people who have reached the Golden Elixir stage.
Because the foundation left by Ye Linyuan was so powerful, the Ye family plundered a large number of cultivation arts during the years of war, so now there are a large number of cultivators who have mastered high-level cultivation arts.
Not only in number, the Ye family also has many high-level Jindan cultivators. The backbone among them is naturally the innate Taoist body Ye Kunling. Ye Kunling has been practicing for less than 500 years, but his cultivation has already reached the Jindan great perfection state.
Ye Kunling lives a secluded life and has seldom taken action over the years, but people outside speculate that he has probably cultivated a natural nine-patterned golden elixir.
The next one is the mountain guardian beast Lihuo Chijiao, who has reached the final step of becoming king through battle.
In addition, the Ye family has three core elders, all of whom are now in the late Jindan stage, and their strength should not be underestimated.
But unfortunately, the five Jindan cultivators of the Ye family five hundred years ago have all died to varying degrees, and only one is still alive today, but he is already dying.
"With the strength of the Ye family, it won't be a problem to stop these people."
"The key point is that the Lihuo Chijiao needs to fight to become the king, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold back in this battle."
Just as Ye Linyuan was deep in thought, the top leaders of the anti-Ye alliance had gathered together.
A group of Jindan cultivators stood above the sky, led by none other than the Liu clan leader who had achieved the great perfection of Jindan.
"This Ye Clan in Chilong Mountain was the old nest of the old demon Ye."
A Jindan cultivator in the crowd spoke up with a ferocious look on his face, "Back then, the old demon Ye wiped out my entire family. Today, I will definitely exterminate the entire Ye family."
"Grandfather, if you are in heaven, please open your eyes and see that I will avenge you today."
"Hahahaha, you old demon who slaughtered a sect, you old demon who exterminated a clan. Back then, you exterminated my entire clan, Liandao Sect. Today, I will repay you tooth for tooth, blood for blood."
"Back then, the old demon Red Dragon killed his way through our Beast Taming Sect with just one sword, and took away our Beast Taming Sect's supreme inheritance and all the great monsters, just to train that evil beast, the evil dragon."
"Now that the old demon Red Dragon has been in meditation for many years, I have also achieved great success in my cultivation. It is time to avenge my previous humiliation."
A group of Jindan masters were filled with righteous indignation, and each of them had a murderous look in their eyes.
After a while, the leader of the Liu clan waved his hand and said, "Everyone, there is no point in talking any more. Let's take action. We must kill the evil dragon in one battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the war machine of the Mie Ye Alliance had already started moving. One after another, huge cannons and formation-breaking objects were launched, and they launched a fierce attack on the mountain protection formation of Chilong Mountain.
"Yin——"
At this moment, a dragon roar was heard from the Red Dragon Mountain. In an instant, a overwhelming fighting spirit swept across the world, and a raging bloody flame swept towards everyone present.
"what--"
A burst of screams rang out, and after just a glance, the two Jindan masters were instantly enveloped by flames and burned into ashes in an instant.
"Don't be so rampant as you evil beasts."
Seeing the Lihuo Red Dragon showing its power, the Luan clan leader, Qingxuan Sanren, and the strange Golden Core Seventh Level powerful being showed expressions of anger and immediately rushed towards the Lihuo Red Dragon.
Unfortunately, the Lihuo Red Dragon is famous for its combat power, and its strength is the best among the real dragons. Even when facing the siege of three late-stage Jindan masters, it can still suppress the three of them by itself.
The head of the Liu family wanted to take action, but his brows slightly frowned and he looked into the void in the distance.
But he saw a beautiful woman in a goose yellow dress looking at him from above the sky, and suddenly he felt a deadly danger and dared not move.
"Such a strong pressure, could it be that she was born with a nine-patterned golden elixir?"
"No, if it's just the Natural Nine-Patterned Golden Pill, I'm afraid it may not be able to give me such a huge pressure."
The head of the Liu clan was fearful and thought of the various legends about this legendary female cultivator. His eyes revealed an extremely fearful look.
Ye Kunling, the innate earthly body, has the most top-notch aptitude among the human race, comparable to the true spirit of heaven and earth of the demon race.
"If it's true, this battle might be a bit tricky."
The head of the Liu clan whispered in his heart, and then he remembered the instructions of the person behind the scenes, and he couldn't help but feel a little certain. But he sneered and looked at the beautiful woman with a cold look.
No matter how strong one's innate Taoist aptitude is, it is meaningless in the face of the absolute gap in realm. In her opinion, Ye Kunling's fate has already been determined.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his fighting intention, and then said to the people around him: "Go ahead and kill that evil dragon."
"Yin——"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Jindan masters flew out one after another, including some top figures in the late Jindan stage.
Faced with the siege of many heroes, Lihuo Chijiao was immediately caught in a bitter battle. Inside the Ye family's sacred mountain, the Jindan masters were also ready to take action, but they were stopped by Ye Kunling.
"Old Ancestor Chi Jiao is only one step away from becoming king. If you go there, you might block his path."
"But if we continue to fight, I'm afraid the ancestor will be in danger of falling."
An old cultivator from the Ye Immortal Clan spoke up, revealing a worried look.
This person's name is Ye Hezhe, and he is the oldest cultivator in the Ye family's immortal clan. He was also one of the five golden elixirs during Ye Linyuan's period.
In the past, Ye Hezhe was full of vigor and vitality. He had fought in all directions with Ye Linyuan. He was also a superior golden elixir with extraordinary potential.
Unfortunately, during a war, Ye Hezhe injured his origin, which caused his cultivation progress to gradually slow down. Now, more than four hundred years have passed, and he has only stopped at the seventh level of the Golden Core.
At this time, Ye Hezhe looked at the besieged dragon, and then sighed and said: "I don't have much time left, why don't I take the risk to help the Red Dragon Ancestor."
"If you can't live in the face of death, how can you become king through fighting?"
Ye Kunling shook his head, but still sighed and said: "You don't have to worry, the Red Dragon Ancestor is not a reckless person."
Just as everyone was communicating, the battle had reached its climax.
Lihuo Chijiao fought against a large number of enemies alone, and fought against dozens of Jindan masters with his own strength. He fought to the extreme and killed more than ten Jindan masters in a row.
No one knew how long it had been, but the Lihuo Red Dragon suddenly sublimated during the battle, its aura and cultivation instantly broke through the limit. Then the single horn on its head changed and transformed into a pair of gorgeous dragon horns.
"This is……"
The faces of everyone present suddenly changed, they were immediately horrified, and they all fled in all directions.
It turned out that at this moment, the Lihuo Red Flood Dragon had finally successfully completed its transformation and transformed into the top-level true spirit species, the Lihuo Flood Dragon.
The Lihuo Dragon is the leader of all fire-attributed dragons, and is a domineering dragon that is renowned for its combat power. It is one of the top five most powerful dragons.
The most crucial thing is that with the transformation of its bloodline, the Lihuo Flood Dragon seems to have initially refined a mysterious blood flame in its body.
"You can't escape if you want to leave."
But the Lihuo Flood Dragon suddenly sneered, then suddenly circled up, bursting out with an extremely powerful aura that shook the world.
It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a raging bloody flame that swept in all directions, completely covering the entire battlefield.
This blood flame was so terrifying that it had the power to burn the flesh. At least a slight touch of it could burn a Jindan cultivator into ashes.
A group of Jindan monks were unable to dodge and several of them were completely burned to ashes on the spot.
In just a moment, more than twenty Jindan masters died. Even when Luan wanted to activate the Yuanchen Water Control Flag to protect his body, the surging water was completely burned to ashes.
"No, this is Luo Tian Blood Flame."
At this moment, someone recognized the origin of the Luo Tian Blood Flame and was immediately shocked.
Luo Tian Blood Flame is one of the ten strange fires in the world. Even a small portion of it can reach the third level.
The Lihuo Flood Dragon did not refine too much, but it was enough to unleash the combat power of the top-level Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
At this time, with the complete outbreak of the Lihuo Dragon, the hidden creature above the sky could no longer sit still.
But in an instant, the sky suddenly darkened, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness. A heroic Yuanying Zhenjun walked over and became the only light between heaven and earth.
He was like a king of heaven or a god descending to earth. Just standing in the sky, he gave people an unbearable feeling.
But he looked at the Lihuo Chijiao calmly and spoke calmly.
"Evil beast, I think it's not easy for you to practice, so please follow me back today."
"Seven Mysterious Thief, it's really you, the immortal old man. You bullied the weak and got your body chopped off by my Lord. Now you're bullying the weak again?"
Seeing the True Lord standing in the sky, exuding an aura of looking down on everything, the Lihuo Dragon immediately revealed a look of ridicule.
It turned out that the Qixuan Zhenjun who had taken action was the Yuanying Zhenjun whose physical body was destroyed by Ye Linyuan that year.
When Qixuan Zhenjun heard this, he was immediately furious. The battle that year was the greatest humiliation of his life.
A Yuanying Zhenjun had his physical body chopped off by a Jindan cultivator, and was ultimately able to escape with his life only by letting his Yuanying leave his body. This has become a laughing stock in the entire Chixia Continent.
This is already a taboo for Master Qixuan, so how could he not be furious about it?
But seeing that Qixuan Zhenjun had murderous intent in his eyes, he sneered and said, "I will pull out your tendons and skin you, and lock you in Zhenlongyuan with an immortal gold iron chain until the end of your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qixuan Zhenjun manifested a giant palm that covered the sky and suppressed the Lihuo Dragon.
At this moment, the enraged Qixuan Zhenjun did not hold back, and burst out with his strongest fighting power in one move, trying to capture the Lihuo Dragon.
But the Lihuo Red Dragon was already prepared. It opened its mouth and spit out an extremely hot golden fairy sword.
The sword was wrapped in countless golden lightnings, as dazzling as the sun. It instantly burst out with an aura that shook the mountains and rivers, and collided violently with the giant hand on the spot.
"Tianyang Sword."
At this moment, the head of the Liu family revealed a tremendous hatred. The Tianyang Sword was made when Ye Linyuan killed the Liu family's fake infant ancestor in his previous life. He took the infant's primordial spirit and refined it into the sword embryo as nourishment.
Therefore, this Tianyang Sword is a flying sword with the attributes of fire, gold, and thunder, and it contains the ultimate killing power.
Even without the Yuanying True Lord's activation, when the weapon spirit is revived, it can burst out attacks comparable to the Yuanying level in a short period of time, with enough power to severely injure or even kill the Fake Infant Ancestor.
"Red Dragon Ye clan, I will destroy your entire clan."
The head of the Liu clan clenched his fists, but still resisted the urge to join the battlefield immediately.
At the same time, the Seven Mysterious True Lord frowned slightly, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
But he sneered, then used his true strength to summon a magical golden blade, which burst out with tremendous divine power and suppressed the Lihuo Red Dragon.
"call out--"
And at this moment, an extremely hot giant sword came slashing across the sky from afar.
It was a giant sword as big as Mount Tianshan, slashing across the sky with the power to destroy everything, and one blow would crush the mountains and rivers into dust.
"The mountains are as high as the sky."
Qixuan Zhenjun used his magic treasure to block the attack, then frowned and said, "Brother Rentian, how long are you going to wait before you attack?"
"Don't you want to see the strength of Fellow Daoist Qixuan?"
A burst of laughter came from the sky.
Afterwards, the vast world changed, and between the endless mountains and rivers, an illusory giant mountain appeared towards them.
This huge mountain is like a giant sword towering into the clouds, piercing through the sea of clouds and stretching across the vast sky.
And on the top of that giant mountain, above the endless sea of clouds, a tall and majestic figure holding an ancient spear stood calmly.
He was like an ancient god who stood tall and upright. Just by standing on the top of the mountain, he exuded a vast aura that suppressed the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, and penetrated the sky and the sea.
The moment he saw this person, Ye Kunling showed an expression of extreme fear, and the solemnity in his eyes was almost tangible.
Because this person is her fellow practitioner and also the strongest practitioner of Zhongshanren Motian Gong in Chixia Continent.
——Lord Rentian! (End of this chapter)
