Chapter 319: First Battle in the Starry Sky
Although the entire Immortal Continent's spacetime was vast, with the influence of the origin extending for tens of thousands of light-years, the maximum diameter of the battlefield was only a hundred light-years.
Therefore,
Soon, Wu Yuan, Pei He, Yu Zhuo, and the army they led, along with tens of thousands of other Purple Mansion cultivators, arrived at the teleportation array of this war base.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~ The spacetime slightly trembled, and the white light dissipated.
"Quite a few newcomers today."
"Indeed."
"Estimated to be around twenty thousand."
"A lot of people." A wave of voices came from not far away as Wu Yuan and others walked through the teleportation array. What came into view was an immensely spacious hall.
Stretching for tens of thousands of miles!
In the hall, numerous cultivators were sparsely seated, similar to the square before teleportation. The decoration was luxurious, but the number of people was much larger—probably around a hundred thousand, with varied attire, all clearly participants.
Occasionally, cultivators entered a massive passage nearby.
"Hmm, are there Transcendent Realm Feathered Masters?"
"And powerful Law Manifestation realm cultivators." Immediately, some Fire Cang army soldiers noticed this and showed expressions of shock.
"Why the surprise?" Pei Yan glanced at the soldier, saying indifferently, "Before participating in the war, one must be a Purple Mansion Mountain and River cultivator. If the strength is sufficient, naturally, one can break through."
"Like you, if anyone can break through, they can do the same."
"However, once leaving the war base and returning to the Blood Witch Temple, it is not allowed to descend to lower-level battlefields." Pei Yan said solemnly, "In addition, even if you break through, under the suppression of the battlefield environment rules, the highest level one can reach is the Triple Layer of the Transcendent Domain."
Everyone nodded involuntarily.
Listening to this, Wu Yuan also understood.
He was familiar with this regulation, so when he communicated with An Shu previously, he mentioned being able to withstand the Transcendent Realm Feathered Masters!
Because.
In the low-level Witch War battlefield, besides some top talents from various major forces, those who truly dominate the slaughter are more often those Transcendent Domain and Holy Domain realm powerhouses.
And the top talents of various major forces all have an unspoken rule—when in the Purple Mansion Mountain and River realm, they can surpass realms to slaughter Holy Domain powerhouses, which counts as a super genius!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several figures in black armor flew over. The powerful aura they emitted made Wu Yuan and the others instantly understand—Holy Domain Ninth Layer.
They were the garrison soldiers of the Blood Witch Temple and wouldn't directly participate in the battle.
"Welcome to War Base 1294 in the starry sky." The leading black-armored soldier's voice resounded, "You are already familiar with the information about the entire war base situation, so I won't repeat it."
"If you want to join the battle directly, follow the right battle channel and leave the war base directly."
"Remember, within one day, if you leave the war base within a range of three million miles, your 'reward source crystals' will be deducted."
"If you want to take a break temporarily, you can stay in the rest hall or meditation room."
"Every year, there will be ten days of free rest time, but usually, staying in the rest hall deducts ten source crystals for one day, and the meditation room deducts one hundred source crystals for one day." The black-armored soldier's voice was deep, "How to proceed is your choice."
"Hope you all can return alive."
Soon after,
Several black-armored soldiers left.
The rules had already been transmitted to all participants' personal palaces through the Cang Feng Witch Realm, and they were just reminding them again.
Boom~ Boom~
Tens of thousands of cultivators, the vast majority of them, chose to temporarily enter the square. At this time, many cultivators on the square also became restless.
"Hiring people."
"Our team excels in formations and is most adept at self-preservation."
"Our captain has achieved true comprehension of Dao, reaching the Seventh Layer of True Intent. He can definitely contend with Transcendent Realm Feathered Masters." Thousands of Purple Mansion and Mountain River realm cultivators who were originally resting began to shout loudly.
At the same time, they actively invited others based on the strength and cultivation level of the descending participants.
Apparently,
Among these tens of thousands of cultivators in the rest hall, many people's goals were not just to rest, but more to find helpers.
"Formations and the like usually require dozens of people working together to unleash their power." Beside them, Lie Twelve said softly, "Unless one is very confident in oneself, most people won't venture alone."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
The two major factions on the battlefield wouldn't limit the number of people joining forces. If powerful enough, thousands of cultivators could gather and launch a massive attack.
However,
The vastness of the starry sky meant that such large-scale actions would make the enemy aware from a distance, reducing the efficiency of slaughter. Moreover, for the majority of participants, the purpose of coming to the Witch War battlefield was to sharpen their skills.
Gathering for safety was one thing, but the effectiveness of honing one's skills was almost zero!
Therefore, based on Wu Yuan's knowledge as the main body of the Refined Body, teams usually consisted of a few to several tens of cultivators working together, rarely exceeding a hundred.
Beyond a hundred usually meant a major operation.
"Let's go." Wu Yuan ordered, leading the team directly into the battle channel.
From start to finish, no one came to invite them.
Anyone could perceive the fierceness of this team; it was a highly matured army.
But fierceness and maturity also meant the team was already exceptionally complete.
Naturally, no one wanted to waste time.
...
The battle channel, a hundred miles in length and width. Wu Yuan and his team traveled along it, and the entire channel stretched for over ten thousand miles, with powerful formations guarding at intervals.
At the end of the channel,
A massive light screen, like a projection, with several black-armored soldiers guarding it. They monitored every participant leaving.
"Good luck, come back alive." One of the black-armored soldiers spoke with a consistently low voice.
"Stay close, everyone," Pei He said.
Wu Yuan led hundreds of soldiers directly through the light screen.
Hum~ Hum~ Hum~
As if an invisible force, their speed instantly increased, reaching a speed of a hundred miles per second, quickly leaving the battlefield base.
...Infinite starry sky.
Visible to the naked eye, enormous meteorites floated in the void, ranging from tens to hundreds of miles in diameter. The largest one had a diameter of thousands of miles.
However,
The most eye-catching in this void was a dark-red star with a diameter exceeding a hundred thousand miles.
The surface of the star was engraved with dense and terrifying metal runes, giving a sense of endless threat!
Wu Yuan's team.
They were standing in the void about three hundred thousand miles away from the dark-red star, able to clearly see the entire star.
"Is this a war base? It's more like a fortress." The sturdy Zhang Shan couldn't help but say, "Can such a fortress be breached?"
Hundreds of soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
They were all somewhat shocked.
The starry sky!
Everyone knew the starry sky was boundless, but this group, including Wu Yuan, was coming to the stars for the first time.
"Normally, a war star like this can't be breached by Purple Mansion or Refined Realm cultivators." Wu Yuan said slowly, "However, during the major battle, the war stars of the two factions only activate 'formations.'"
"One side has the support of formations, while the other side is suppressed by formations."
"In this situation, if the defending side is too weak, or if legendary warriors or even king-level warriors appear on the attacking side, there is hope of breaking the war star!" Wu Yuan said in a low voice, "Legends and kings are incredible experts who can sweep through everything and confront tens of thousands with a single individual."
Everyone listened in awe.
"Of course, that's just a legend."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile, "So, this is why the Blood Witch Temple designates a large number of participants to descend to different war bases."
"To prevent any war base from being too weak and avoid being breached."
Pei He, Zhang Shan, Lie Twelve, and others looked at each other. The longer they spent with Wu Yuan, the more they could feel his broad and high-level perspective.
"Let's go!"
"Unless it's the period of the major decisive battle, within a radius of thirty million miles of the war base, there are no enemies, and we are not allowed to linger." Wu Yuan flipped his palm and waved.
Immediately, a massive warship with a length exceeding a hundred zhang appeared.
"A first-grade spiritual weapon warship?"
"This!"
"This warship probably costs nearly a billion source crystals. Commander, it truly has a significant background." The hundreds of soldiers were increasingly shocked.
At least,
Even someone as powerful as Pei He couldn't produce such a treasure.
Such a class of warship was usually standard equipment for Refinement Realm cultivators.
"Let's board. An Shu has already sent us the coordinates of the starry sky." Wu Yuan scanned the hundreds of soldiers, "He obviously has other channels to enter the battlefield in advance."
"Let's go."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Led by the six captains, hundreds of soldiers quickly entered the warship. Then, according to their usual formation habits, they gathered together.
Wu Yuan sat in the main hall of the warship.
Immediately, the ship's doors closed, source crystals were infused, and the warship quickly started, reaching 'one thousand miles per second.'
Swoosh!
At this moment, the thousands of participants who had just left the war base disappeared rapidly in the starry sky, like a drop of water scattered in the ocean.
Wu Yuan's warship changed its surface color and quickly blended with the dark colors of the surrounding starry sky.
Equally becoming extremely inconspicuous.
"Such fast speed." A soldier, through the warship's 'surveillance formation,' perceived the outside world and couldn't help but say.
"Approximately six thousand miles per breath."
The icy soft water, like an iceberg, said indifferently, "With a first-grade spiritual weapon warship like this, once it goes at full speed, it might reach thirty thousand miles per breath. However, the consumption of source crystals is astronomical."
"Six thousand miles per breath is considered normal cruising speed."
"In normal starry space, it's impossible to have so many meteorites and stars. They are deliberately formed battlefield environments by the two major forces." The icy soft water said solemnly, "Everyone, rest well."
"The commander is powerful and well aware."
"With such a first-grade spiritual weapon warship, even if a Refinement Realm powerhouse raids, it's impossible to break through instantly." The icy soft water said.
"At the same time, quickly change your mindset, look at more information. Right now, we are not in the Fire Cang Territory, but in the dangerous Witch War battlefield." The icy soft water's gaze swept over the soldiers.
Causing many people to shudder.
Indeed!
In terms of strength, they might be considered good when looking at the entire battlefield, but they had just joined and would likely be at a disadvantage in terms of experience.
"Experience?" Wu Yuan remained calm.
He was also participating for the first time, but through the main body of the Refined Body, he could obtain some of the most secretive information about the entire Witch War battlefield.
Time passed.
Avoiding one meteorite after another.
After traveling nearly ten million miles, Wu Yuan piloted the warship and arrived at one seemingly ordinary meteorite.
The speed quickly slowed down.
"Friend An Shu." Wu Yuan's powerful divine sense swept through the vast void.
Sweeping across thousands of miles, it completely enveloped this ordinary-looking meteorite.
Swoosh!
Two figures rushed out of the meteorite, traversing thousands of miles of starry sky, and quickly landed in the void in front of the warship.
One was a black-robed youth, and the other was a short Purple Mansion cultivator wearing a red robe.
Both of them flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Such a powerful divine sense.
"Spiritual awareness?" An Shu was somewhat suspicious.
"Hard to discern, well-hidden, but the probability of divine sense is not too great." The short Purple Mansion cultivator in the red robe said in a low voice, "With them joining, engaging in distraction, our chances in this battle are significant."
"Didn't expect that, in just one day, you could find such a powerful team." The short cultivator in the red robe said solemnly.
"It's also luck." An Shu's eyes sparkled.
Previously, he was somewhat worried that Wu Yuan wouldn't abide by the agreement. Now, seeing Wu Yuan leading the team arriving on time, he felt much more at ease.
With such a powerful team assisting, the chances of winning would be much higher.
Suddenly,
Swoosh! A black metallic puppet rushed out of the spiritual weapon flying boat and arrived in front of An Shu and another short cultivator in a red robe.
The metallic puppet's eyes shimmered, and it spoke voluntarily, "Friend An Shu, I am Ming Jian."
"Ming Jian friend."
An Shu spoke first, "This is my partner, Gong Shu Jie, a formidable puppet manipulator, a seventh-rank warrior."
"Seventh-rank warrior?" Wu Yuan manipulated the metallic puppet and nodded slightly, "Impressive."
Gong Shu Jie grinned, "Friend's strength seems not weak at all, and you can command such an elite team."
"Also, a first-grade spiritual weapon warship." Gong Shu Jie said, being skilled in puppets and a master refiner.
Naturally, he recognized the grade of the flying boat at a glance.
"Both of you."
"Time is of the essence, let's chat while we walk." An Shu said solemnly, "Ming Jian friend, have your puppet board my warship."
"On the way, I'll tell you the whole story."
The metallic puppet nodded.
Similar puppets, Wu Yuan had purchased hundreds of them, all at the Golden Core level, not worth many source crystals, just used for scouting and communication.
Whether it was puppets or source crystal weapons, reaching the Golden Core level was relatively easy. To reach the Purple Mansion level, the cost was very high.
As for the Refinement Realm level? Even more difficult!
Soon,
An Shu also took out a first-grade spiritual weapon warship, carrying Gong Shu Jie and Wu Yuan's puppet, and directly boarded the warship.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two warships successively started, and the speed soared to several thousand miles per second, constantly heading deeper into the starry sky.
...
Inside An Shu's warship.
"A star nine billion miles away? Fire-source crystal vein?" Wu Yuan's metallic puppet emitted a low hum, apparently somewhat surprised.
After the exchange just now,
Wu Yuan finally understood the purpose of An Shu hiring his team—capturing a star!
"In our war zone, the war bases are established based on the two major camps, constantly extending into the eight directions of the starry sky." An Shu said solemnly, "The starry sky is vast, and it's very difficult to search for places. Most of the conflict points erupt in those stars."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
In this vast starry sky, there were millions of stars, scattered across billions of miles of space.
Each star, with a maximum diameter ranging from tens of thousands of miles to a million miles.
In this special environment, the stars were extremely sturdy.
Among countless stars, a special treasure was born—Fire-source Crystal. A widely used treasure.
Fire-source Crystal only formed on rocky stars.
It formed quickly and had extremely high value. Therefore, over countless years, numerous powerhouses from the two major camps had formed a habit of exploring Fire-source Crystal veins on various stars and engaging in battles with enemies at the same time.
"This star is very remote, but this Fire-source Crystal vein is quite extensive. Once excavated, its total value exceeds one hundred billion source crystals." An Shu said solemnly, "Once successful, besides the original hiring price, I will allocate an additional ten percent and distribute it to you all."
Ming Jian and Gong Shu Jie both nodded slightly.
"Nine billion miles."
"At a high-speed cruise of one breath per eighteen thousand miles, it won't take three days to arrive." An Shu said solemnly, "Ming Jian, I will supply you with the additional source crystals consumed."
"Good." Wu Yuan didn't refuse.
The cruise speed of the warship was three times faster, and the source crystal consumption would increase several dozen times. Over nine billion miles, the source crystals alone would be a considerable amount.
"On the way, try to avoid battles, steer clear of those main stars and some common battle areas."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two warships swiftly moved forward at high speed.
However, in this vast expanse of starry sky, there were too many stars and shattered stars, making it impossible to completely avoid them.
So,
Occasionally, Wu Yuan, Pei He, An Shu, and others could sense intense fluctuations of battle, indicating that cultivators were engaging in fights on the entire battlefield from time to time.
However,
With two first-grade spiritual weapon warships sailing side by side, they looked quite formidable, so they didn't encounter any troubles.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
"Stay away from the core area of battlefield conflicts."
"Only twenty million miles left to the destination star. Continue on the ninth route, utilizing meteorites to conceal our whereabouts."
"Be ready for battle at any time." Various commands were issued.
...
This was a star that glowed in fiery red, with a diameter exceeding a hundred thousand miles. Its surface was rugged, with fierce winds carrying grains of sand whistling by.
In a super-large canyon region on the star,
Here, there was a flying boat over a hundred zhang long, and next to the flying boat was an immensely huge cave.
Inside the cave,
There were numerous puppets and many Purple Mansion cultivators and Mountain and River cultivators continuously excavating a large amount of rocks.
Inside the flying boat,
Four figures were gathering, with a tall man leading, seemingly forged entirely from rocks.
The other three were all wearing all-purple robes, two females and one male. The male in the purple robe had countless purple scales on his face and a single horn on top of his head.
"Gu Zhong, I just annihilated a team that probed into this star." The man who looked like rock rumbled, "How much longer until we completely excavate this Fire-source Crystal vein?"
"Friend Shi Jing."
The male in the purple robe with a single horn smiled faintly, "Don't worry. You're well aware that the rocks of these stars are incredibly sturdy, making excavation very difficult."
"Four more days."
"We've been digging for seven days already. In another four days, we can dig it all out, and we can return to the battlefield base for recuperation." The male in the purple robe with a single horn said.
"Once this job is done, the four of us can at least share twenty billion source crystals." The male in the purple robe with a single horn said.
Gu Zhong, the robust man with a rock-like appearance, nodded slightly.
Suddenly,
The purple-robed woman with a mask, who had been silent, stood up abruptly. There was a chill in her eyes as she whispered, "Someone is coming, passing through the 'Sixteenth Route' surveillance formation I set up."
She waved her hand.
Immediately, a light curtain projection formed, revealing the rapidly passing images of two first-grade spiritual weapon flying boats.
"It's him."
"That Wutiang kid. We let him escape last time, and this time, he dares to come again." The male in the purple robe with a single horn flashed a hint of cruelty in his eyes and looked at the rock-like man, "Shi Jing, didn't you want to kill the original genius of the Wutiang Realm?"
"He's here."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Shi Jing's eyes brightened.
"Sure, I fought him last time. He's a genius who has reached the ninth level of True Intent." The male in the purple robe with a single horn nodded, "In that battle, if he wasn't adept at the Wind Law, escaping quickly, I would have killed him long ago."
"Haha."
A hint of cruelty flashed in Shi Jing's eyes, "Ninth level of True Intent? Wind Law? He escaped quickly last time because I wasn't here. This time, let me tear him apart. I love killing geniuses."
"Ninth Junior Sister, how much longer?" The male in the purple robe with a single horn looked towards the silver-masked woman.
"Fifteen minutes."
"Good."
"Confront them directly in the starry sky. Remember, don't be in a hurry. Wait until they enter the formation range, then directly eliminate them." The male in the purple robe with a single horn said indifferently.
"Got it."
"Good! This is all thanks to your efforts."
Hoo! Hoo!
The single-horned man in the purple robe waved his hand, retracting the warship. The four powerful figures floated on the surface of the star, where the fierce winds howled.
The hurricane, with a speed of hundreds of miles per hour, couldn't move them in the slightest.
Swiftly, over a hundred Purple Mansion cultivators rushed out of the massive cave, each respectfully bowing.
"Let's go to the fourth formation," the single-horned man in the purple robe ordered.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hundreds of figures simultaneously soared into the sky, heading towards the outer space.
...
Beyond the stars, countless meteorites and fragments still floated. At a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles, some stars with a diameter of over ten thousand miles orbited.
Among the numerous meteorites and asteroids,
Many arrays and flags were spread out, not displaying their power, looking inconspicuous.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two flying boats silently approached the stars at a speed of several hundred miles per second. These were the two warships led by Wu Yuan and An Shu.
Suddenly,
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" In the vast void for tens of thousands of miles, each meteorite suddenly erupted with a burst of light.
Formation!
Activated!
Countless green streams surged and completely submerged the entire starry sky, including the two warships.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Terrifying formation light beams swept through, instantly tumbling the two first-grade spiritual weapon warships.
Their speed began to sharply decrease.
... Inside the warship, at the moment the formation covering tens of thousands of miles erupted, Wu Yuan was the first to open his eyes.
"Enemy attack!"
"Formation, get in formation." Wu Yuan's urgent voice instantly sounded in the ears of Pei He, Lie Twelve, and the other three hundred soldiers.
At this time, in the other warship,
The figure of the red-robed short man just opened his eyes, seemingly sensing something.
"Boom!"
"Battle formation!" Pei He's silver battle armor on the surface emitted a dazzling light.
Almost instantly, he, along with fifty-four Purple Mansion cultivators around him, connected their silver battle armors to form a single entity.
Boom~ A miniature silver dragon, vividly covered in scales with clearly visible dragon whiskers, formed instantly.
The silver dragon enveloped all fifty-five Purple Mansion cultivators.
"Hum!" A faint earth-yellow light emerged around Wu Yuan. This light faintly dispersed, enveloping the flying boat.
"Boom!"
A powerful formation attack descended, causing the entire flying boat to shake and roll!
However, after being weakened by the flying boat and the earth-yellow light, no one was greatly affected.
"Get out!" Wu Yuan suddenly shouted.
Boom! Boom!
The doors of the two flying boats opened instantly, and the light formed by the array outside swept through the vast void.

Chapter 320: Targeting the Strong
"Boom!"
"Go!" Pei He roared lowly, leading the fifty-five Purple Mansion cultivators, including himself, to form a silver dragon that charged out of the warship.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Others, like Bing Roushui, Yu Zhuo, and Lie Twelve, though slightly slower, formed different formations in an instant. They transformed into silver dragons, phoenix-like birds, or strange four-legged beasts, each with thirty-five Purple Mansion cultivators.
Zhang Shan and Shi Ji, the two team leaders as physical cultivators, each led eleven Mountain and River Realm cultivators. Their bodies emitted a faint silver light, gathering into a formidable four-armed humanoid warrior.
Two other strong Mountain and River Realm cultivators also led other cultivators, forming a battle formation.
"Boom~" "Boom!"
The four Mountain and River battle formations swiftly rushed out of the warship, dispersing the formations' light layers with their Mountain and River Dao domains.
In the blink of an eye,
The team led by Wu Yuan completely erupted, leaving only two Mountain and River Realm and eighty-five Purple Mansion Realm cultivators inside the flying boat.
And—Wu Yuan!
All the Fire Cang Army soldiers looked at Wu Yuan.
"Don't be anxious." Wu Yuan glanced at them, reassuring them.
Ordinary Purple Mansion and Mountain and River cultivators, if not part of a battle formation, participating in this level of battle would be suicidal.
"Indeed, all well-trained. Although it's the first battle, each one is exceptional." Wu Yuan's powerful divine sense had already spread out extensively.
His consciousness resided in the high-dimensional virtual realm, the 'Shallow Virtual Layer,' easily perceiving within a radius of thirty thousand miles.
Plus, with the power of divine sense,
It could be said that, before the enemy fully erupted, Wu Yuan's divine sense had already sensed some information. However, he didn't disclose it, letting the warship enter the opponent's formation range.
"Formation? The entire battlefield in the starry sky is subtly suppressed, and the spiritual energy in the sky is thin." Wu Yuan murmured, "The power is weak."
Formations are divided into various types, and fixed formations like these are suppressed throughout the entire Immortal and Witch battlefield, making their power not apparent.
It's challenging to determine the outcome.
"There are over a hundred Purple Mansion cultivators, and three auras give me a dangerous feeling." Wu Yuan's powerful divine sense, through the realm of fate, successively locked onto the target auras thousands of miles away.
Even if the opponent had a formation to shield themselves, under Wu Yuan's divine sense coverage, they were revealed.
This was the terrifying aspect of a powerful Qi Refiner.
Physical cultivators excel at resisting various dangers with powerful bodies.
Qi Refiners, on the other hand, perceive danger through the high-dimensional virtual realm, even predicting it and directly killing enemies through the manipulation of fate.
Each has its own merits.
"However, it seems that there is a more powerful existence lurking on the sidelines." Wu Yuan squinted, sensing something.
Either the opponent's divine sense is stronger than Wu Yuan's.
Or it's a higher-level existence.
"Saint Domain Realm? Or Refinement Void Realm?" Wu Yuan frowned slightly, "This An Shu is really reckless, attacking without even checking the opponent's strength."
"However!"
"Strong opponents? That's who I'm here to kill."
"If it's the Refinement Void Realm, killing them will surely contribute a lot of blood fog to me." A cold light flickered in Wu Yuan's eyes. "Moreover, it should allow me to directly become a Sixth-Rank Warrior."
Rules of the Witch Immortal Battlefield.
Killing a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator from the first to the sixth layer rewards a thousand source crystals.
Killing a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator from the seventh to the ninth layer rewards three thousand source crystals.
Killing a Refinement Void Realm powerhouse rewards a million source crystals.
And to obtain the title of a Third-Rank Warrior, it requires accumulating a reward of a hundred thousand source crystals, equivalent to killing a hundred ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators.
To obtain the title of a Sixth-Rank Warrior, it requires accumulating a reward of a million source crystals.
To obtain the title of a Ninth-Rank Warrior, it requires accumulating a reward of a hundred million source crystals.
Legendary title? Ten billion reward source crystals!
As for the title of the King, the required source crystal rewards are consistent with the legendary ones. There is only one additional requirement: leading a large army to break through a war stronghold in a major decisive battle, and being the one with the greatest merit, truly becoming the king of the battlefield!
In Wu Yuan's plan, the Qi Refining avatar hones itself and must at least become a Ninth-Rank Warrior.
Just relying on killing Purple Mansion cultivators? Until when?
Accumulating blood mist follows the same logic.
Searching is extremely troublesome.
Therefore, Wu Yuan's target is those who have broken through to become Refinement Void Realm powerhouses within the Witch Immortal battlefield.
"The oppressive tempering of life and death, coupled with a vast number of Purple Mansion cultivators, makes the probability of producing strong individuals on the entire battlefield quite astonishing," Wu Yuan's eyes revealed a chill.
As he pondered,
Outside the warship, an extremely terrifying battle had already erupted!
"Boom!"
A layer of hazy blue light spread, covering an area of thousands of miles. An Shu stood in the endless starry sky, emitting a powerful aura, like a divine being.
The moment he encountered the enemy, he had already rushed out of the warship. The hazy domain spread across the heavens and the earth, blocking the overwhelming array light.
The domain formed by the Nine Layers of True Intent was already the embryonic form of a Dao domain.
"Formation?"
"Very vigilant indeed."
"I deliberately took a detour, not even ten days, and there are still so many formations?"
"It seems that there was preparedness early on." An Shu's gaze was icy, staring fixedly at the void. "But this time, I am not alone; I brought a large number of helpers. Let's see who can win."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Countless flying swords appeared, swirling around him. The sword qi was vast, and the aura was extremely formidable.
"An Shu, your opponent is not simple." The short, red-robed man named Gong Shu Jie spoke with a hoarse voice.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Around him, statues of powerful and burly combat puppets appeared. These puppets resembled legendary strongmen.
There were also several puppet giant snakes, emitting electric light, surrounding Gong Shu Jie and making his overall momentum extremely terrifying.
The way of puppets is a major branch of the Dao of refining, somewhat related to formations, extremely difficult to learn, and even more challenging to achieve great success.
However, once successful, it could burst forth with terrifying power.
"Prepare for battle."
"Battle formation."
"The enemy is in that direction." Pei He, Lie Twelve, and Bing Roushui also formed a total of eight battle formations, with an imposing manner resembling Refinement Void Realm powerhouses.
Battle formations are essentially mobile formations, allowing a large number of cultivators to fight as one with formation runes, even against top-notch powerhouses.
However,
The more people there are in the formation, and the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to form a mobile formation, and the more vulnerabilities there are.
So, in the Fire Cang Army, only Pei He, the strongest, could lead fifty-five Purple Mansion cultivators to form a Silver Dragon battle formation. The other team leaders could only lead thirty-six Purple Mansion cultivators.
Compared to the flexible and ever-changing true essence techniques of Qi Refiners, it is even more challenging for physical cultivators to form a battle formation. In the Mountain and River Realm, having twelve physical cultivators form a battle formation is quite impressive.
"Has the leader not come out?"
"What about the other two teams?" When Pei He, Lie Twelve, and Bing Roushui formed the formation and rushed out of the warship, they noticed that Wu Yuan did not lead the other Purple Mansion cultivators out.
"You guys go meet the enemy first."
Wu Yuan's faint voice had already sounded in their minds. "Don't be anxious; there is an even stronger presence among the enemies."
They all felt a sense of astonishment. Even stronger?
At this moment, when Pei He and the others had already sensed that, amidst the vast formations, the enemy had come mightily.
At the same time, they also had doubts about how Wu Yuan could perceive the presence of an even more powerful enemy.
"Dare to come again, indeed with confidence."
"Actually brought an elite army and a puppet master?" The purple-robed man with a single horn suspended in the void emitted a hazy red light, and seven large spiritual cauldrons surrounded him. The momentum was overwhelming, and the flowing swords were dazzling.
In a true battle between peerless geniuses, battle formations are generally not formed.
Battle formations have significant advantages, but they also have disadvantages.
Beside the purple-robed man with a single horn, there were two six-armed humanoid warriors in black armor, exuding a powerful aura. They were the Purple Mansion battle formation formed by the sixty-four Purple Mansion cultivators led by the two purple-robed women.
The two sides confronted each other from a distance.
"Kill!" The purple-robed man with a single horn moved, stepping on a spiritual cauldron. In an instant, his speed broke through a thousand miles per second.
Domain power erupted, vast and mighty.
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Two six-armed humanoid Purple Mansion battle formations, clad in black armor, also swung their weapons, roaring as they charged.
The aura they emitted was terrifying, and their speed was equally swift.
"Last time, I was defeated by you alone. This time, you won't win." An Shu roared lowly. Powerful true essence surged within him, causing the power of the flying swords to skyrocket immediately. They combined to form large winged serpents.
No! If you looked closely, you could perceive that each winged serpent was actually formed by a large number of flying swords condensed with true essence.
This was the Thousand Sword Formation!
Nine winged serpents were interconnected under the domain, appearing as one body, but in reality, they formed a series of Hundred Sword Formations.
"Peng~ Peng~ Peng~" The huge winged serpents clashed with the large spiritual cauldrons.
Two powerful domains were also colliding.
It was extremely intense.
Among Purple Mansion cultivators, being able to deduce one's lower-level laws to the Nine Layers of True Intent was considered a rare talent.
Two powerful domains both possessed some Dao Domain power and were also colliding!
"Kill!"
Gong Shu Jie manipulated hundreds of combat puppet giants.
Each combat puppet giant held a shield and a battle knife, roaring as they charged towards the single-horned purple-robed youth.
Each combat puppet giant possessed strength and speed no less than that of the Seventh Layer of Mountain and River (Sixth Rank Immortal Foundation).
Under Gong Shu Jie's control, they could unleash certain profound rule attacks. With their large numbers, they posed a significant threat.
"Get lost!"
The single-horned purple-robed man remained indifferent. The power of his two spiritual cauldrons was immense, sweeping through the void like a meteor, smashing open one combat puppet giant after another.
However, the multitude of combat puppet giants still surged forward fearlessly.
In an instant,
An Shu and Gong Shu Jie cooperated, suppressing the single-horned purple-robed man, forcing him to continually retract his own spiritual cauldrons.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
At this time, Pei He, Lie Twelve, and others also led their battle formations and clashed with the two powerful six-armed black-armored Purple Mansion battle formations.
"Die!"
"Kill!" The two six-armed black-armored Purple Mansion battle formations each wielded four war knives and two shields, and their knife techniques were incredibly formidable.
These two large Purple Mansion battle formations were surrounded by a green glow and a fiery red glow.
Obviously, the comprehensions of the main formations of both sides had reached the Seventh Layer of True Intent!
"Roar!"
Pei He led a huge silver dragon covered in battle armor, repeatedly swiping its claws, fiercely clashing with one of the Purple Mansion battle formations. The battle was extremely fierce.
Pei He's comprehension of the Dao had also reached the Seventh Layer of True Intent. Even if the battle formation's power was slightly weaker, it could still withstand the assault.
"Kill!" Zhang Shan and another Mountain and River War God, one wielding a war knife and the other wielding a war hammer, roared as they came to help Pei He.
"Hoo!"
"Tear~"
The knife technique of the six-armed black-armored Purple Mansion battle formation was tricky. With a sudden move, it avoided Zhang Shan's war knife and struck the Mountain and River battle formation.
A huge wound was torn open, but this wound quickly healed.
This was the advantage of the Mountain and River battle formation. Compared to the Purple Mansion battle formation, they were usually weaker in strength but had stronger defense and vitality.
"Boom!" "Block it." Bing Roushui, Shi Ji, Yu Zhuo, and others also rushed up, confronting the other black-armored Purple Mansion battle formation.
In terms of Dao comprehension, Bing Roushui and others were only at the Sixth Layer of True Intent.
Breaking through from the Sixth Layer of True Intent to the Seventh Layer was a significant threshold for countless Purple Mansion cultivators. Once broken through, they could become Refinement Void Knights.
It could be said that any single battle formation formed by Shi Ji and others was far inferior to a six-armed black-armored Purple Mansion battle formation. However, they had the advantage of a larger number.
Both sides knew deeply that this was the Witch Immortal battlefield, and the natural battle was brutal.
However, with similar overall strength, it was difficult to distinguish life and death in a short time.
"Damn immortal court cultivator, you're going to die." An Shu gritted his teeth, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was crimson, with a hint of mysterious aura, directly integrating into the flying swords. It made the power of the sword formation erupt even further, becoming even more terrifying.
"Witch Blood Technique?"
"Humph!" The single-horned purple-robed man said coldly. The single horn on his head flickered with mysterious patterns, emitting a sacred aura that strengthened his imposing presence.
The two of them.
One was a genius from the original Witch Realm; the other was a 'Temple Genius' from the Thunder Feather Temple, with various secret techniques and powerful magical treasures.
"Shi Jing, are you not going to make a move? Are you still just watching? If you keep watching, the ore vein won't belong to you anymore." The single-horned purple-robed man suddenly let out a roar.
Through the formation, the roar echoed through tens of thousands of miles of empty space.
This scene.
Instantly changed the expressions of An Shu and Gong Shu Jie. Did this single-horned man in purple robes have powerful reinforcements?
They didn't notice.
While Pei He, Lie Twelve, and the others were also slightly surprised, they couldn't help but recall Wu Yuan's warning just now. Were there really hidden enemies?
Suddenly.
"Haha! I thought you could hold on." A booming voice with a hint of laughter echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Boom~"
Outside the vast empty space, a meteor exploded in an instant, followed by a towering figure like a mountain appearing.
He was about three thousand zhang tall, humanoid, with eight arms.
The surface of his skin resembled rocks, dressed in heavy black battle armor. The armor was ancient and heavy, with countless mysterious patterns on the surface.
Overwhelming momentum!
"Boom~" When this towering figure of rock appeared, a terrifying flame aura descended, instantly covering thousands of miles of empty space.
Successive virtual shadows appeared.
Rivers, mountains, canyons, and more emerged. In the virtual shadow of the mountains and rivers, endless flames burned, surrounding him like a flame deity.
Even though they were far apart, the powerful Mountain and River Law Domain had not yet descended, but An Shu and Gong Shu Jie still felt an extremely high temperature.
"Saint Domain, or Saint Domain Second Stage?" An Shu's pupils contracted slightly, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
One on one.
He wasn't too afraid of these newly breakthrough Saint Domain First Stage experts. However, now, the overall strength of both sides was already very close.
"It's a Saint Domain."
"It's dangerous." Pei He, Lie Twelve, and Bing Roushui all had changed expressions, instinctively feeling fear.
In a one-on-one battle, even the strongest Pei He, leading the battle formation, barely reached the threshold of the Refinement Void Saint Domain.
Boom!
Stone Scene previously covered his breath with the Saint Domain, so even An Shu didn't notice his presence. When he erupted, it was naturally astonishing.
"Kill!"
Shi Jing's towering figure stepped into the void, covering thousands of miles in a single step, killing in front of Gong Shu Jie in a few flashes.
The burning flame was overwhelming.
"Swoosh!"
Shi Jing's eight arms each held a huge warhammer, dancing as if they were moving the heavens and earth. He smashed the puppet warriors and giant snakes one after another, creating an unstoppable force.
Unstoppable.
In terms of Dao comprehension, he only reached the Seventh Layer of True Intent, and in terms of foundation, he was only at the Fifth Rank. However, as a Saint Domain expert, powerful foundations endowed him with overwhelming strength.
"Die!"
Shi Jing's expression was ferocious, staring at Gong Shu Jie. "Young puppet genius, dying at my hands is your honor."
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The huge warhammers swung, each blow seemed to tear through the heavens and earth. In just a few encounters, Gong Shu Jie was forced to retreat step by step. However, both sides unknowingly approached the floating First Grade Spiritual Weapon Warship.
Suddenly.
"Boom!" The cabin door opened.
Boom! A tremendous and majestic aura suddenly erupted. This aura was so powerful that it was no less than Shi Jing's eruption.
Immediately.
It attracted the attention of the entire battlefield, almost all the strong, An Shu, the single-horned purple-robed man, Pei He, Shi Jing, and others were all shocked and looked towards the direction of the ship that had just appeared.
Only to see that the ship had been retracted.
In its place.
There stood a towering giant, about a thousand zhang tall, with four arms and holding four divine swords. The giant, covered in silver armor, exuded an extremely powerful aura.
Purple Mansion Battle Formation!
"Just now, I was worried that you would escape if I erupted, so I've been holding back." Wu Yuan, leading the Purple Mansion Battle Formation, smiled as the silver-armored giant spoke.
The sound he made was like the roar of a god.
At this moment.
The aura erupted by Wu Yuan, leading the battle formation, was second only to Shi Jing, who had performed multiple Source Techniques, surpassing the other battle formations by a large margin.
"A thousand zhang? This aura is the fusion of eighty-one Purple Mansion cultivators, the limit of the Purple Mansion Battle Formation."
"The strongest Purple Mansion Battle Formation."
"Ming Jian, how long did it take for you to comprehend the battle formation to be able to figure out the strongest formation?" Pei He, Lie Twelve, Bing Roushui, Yu Zhuo, one by one, were completely astonished.
The silver armor they wore was similar to the formation flags of the 'Formation,' convenient for merging into formations at any time.
But the fusion of eighty-one Purple Mansion cultivators into a formation?
The difficulty was so high, it was unbelievable!
They knew Wu Yuan had a broad vision and strong insight, and secretly suspected his strength was very strong, but they didn't expect it to be this powerful.
"Such a strong Purple Mansion Battle Formation."
"Amazing."
"This Ming Jian has been hiding it, and he actually has such strong power?" An Shu and Gong Shu Jie were dissatisfied just now because Wu Yuan hadn't made a move, but now they were extremely surprised.
Being able to lead such a powerful Purple Mansion Battle Formation.
Strength was destined to be very strong.
"The strongest Purple Mansion Battle Formation?"
"Just now, in that warship, clearly, there was no sense of vitality, so why are there still so many strong people hidden?"
"I actually didn't notice? Was my aura concealed by someone?" The single-horned man in purple robes changed his expression, vaguely thinking of a possibility.
Chill surged in his heart.
"The strongest Purple Mansion Battle Formation?" Shi Jing's body was towering, unable to look away from the silver-armored giant holding divine swords.
From the silver-armored giant, he felt a huge threat.
However, the dignity of a Saint Domain expert made him unwilling to escape without a fight.
"Eighty-one Purple Mansion cultivators, is this the limit of this silver-armored formation?" Wu Yuan, leading the battle formation, felt the majestic power of the formation.
This was his first time leading the Purple Mansion Battle Formation.
And as soon as he led it, he understood why true geniuses preferred to fight alone.
The power contained in the battle formation was the combined power of many Purple Mansion cultivators' formation might, not a simple accumulation of magical power. There was a limit.
The power unleashed by the strongest Purple Mansion Battle Formation was equivalent to the Refinement Void First Layer (Sixth Rank), just two ranks stronger than Wu Yuan's own eruption.
Moreover, unlike fixed formations, the battle formation was condensed into one, capable of moving freely. Internally, there were layers of condensed formations, making it difficult for the main formation controller to manipulate a large number of magical treasures, limiting long-range attacks.
To unleash the power of the Purple Mansion Battle Formation?
The best way was close combat! Like Pei He, Lie Twelve, they all chose close combat.
"Weaker individuals, gathering to form a battle formation can avoid slaughter." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "But for true geniuses, battle formations are somewhat cumbersome."
"However! It conceals my true strength and identity."
"To kill a Saint Domain Second Layer? That's enough!" Wu Yuan's expression turned slightly cold, his body moved slightly, perfectly controlling the power of the entire Purple Mansion Battle Formation.
Four giant divine swords lifted!
Boom!
Wu Yuan instantly erupted, and the surface of his towering body revealed a faint, almost invisible earthy yellow light, turning into a silver light, piercing through the heavens and earth.
Directly rushing towards the Saint Domain expert as if forged from rocks.
"So fast."
"This speed?" Pei He, Lie Twelve, Bing Roushui, and others were all shocked. The burst of speed in that instant had definitely reached two thousand li per second.
"So fast."
"This aura?" Gong Shu Jie and An Shu were equally shocked, especially An Shu. If he led the battle formation, he could also form the strongest Purple Mansion Battle Formation.
However, the eruptive speed was definitely not comparable to Wu Yuan's. Remember, he was comprehending the laws of the wind.
One second, two thousand li!
And earlier, when Shi Jing was madly attacking Gong Shu Jie, he was already very close to the warship. So, almost in an instant.
Wu Yuan rushed into Shi Jing's mountain and river domain.
"Fast speed?"
Shi Jing was also surprised, but he was extremely confident in his own strength. "It seems like another peerless genius. I want to kill geniuses."
Boom, boom, boom~
The flames that surrounded him for three thousand li instantly boiled, turning into fiery dragons, with a majestic momentum, pressing toward Wu Yuan.
Mountain and River Realm could form a domain around the body.
Reaching the Saint Domain level, the internal mountain and river underwent further transformation, becoming even stronger, hence it was also called the Saint Domain.
"Saint Domain?"
"If it were the oppression of a Second Grade Immortal Foundation's Ninth Layer Saint Domain, I might take a look. But you?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold.
"Boom!"
The majestic and endless Purple Mansion Battle Formation magical power erupted, stirring the source of the stars in the boundless cosmos.
The true meaning of the stars instantly descended.
Boom, boom, boom~ The domains of Dao and Saint instantly began to collide.
Wu Yuan, whose speed had been suppressed, soared again.
"Not good!"
"It's Dao Domain! A peerless genius who comprehended the Dao Domain! Why am I so unlucky? Run!!" Shi Jing's face changed drastically.
At the level of Ling Body Golden Pellet, being able to comprehend the Dao Domain was rare, and it was difficult for tens of thousands of Immortal Isles to produce one.
They were the most top-notch geniuses.
At the Purple Mansion Mountain and River level, being able to comprehend the Dao Domain was also a genius that was difficult to produce among hundreds or thousands of Immortal Isles.
Run?
But he couldn't escape in time.
"No!" Shi Jing roared madly, wielding the eight warhammers in his hands, his momentum surged, intending to resist Wu Yuan.
At this moment.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
Four streams of earthy yellow sword light descended, each sword like a star exploding, containing an endless and continuous feeling!
Sweeping across a thousand li of void!
"Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~" The two sides instantly clashed, each round of power was incredibly powerful.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had fought dozens of rounds, Wu Yuan's swordsmanship becoming faster and heavier.
And it became increasingly strange.
Shi Jing became more and more panicked as he fought. He was already in an absolute disadvantage, unable to block Wu Yuan's swordsmanship.
Suddenly.
"Swoosh~" Accompanied by a sword light that left a lasting trace in the void.
The towering thousand-zhang stone giant, the warhammer slipped from its hand, and one of its arms was suddenly severed and thrown into the air!
"Tear~" Another sword light swept by, directly causing the head of Shi Jing's towering body to fly.
Immediately following.
"Poof~" His huge body was actually torn apart from the middle by a sword light.
"No!"
Shi Jing's head flew, but he still roared, "The Saint Domain is immortal, I won't die, won't die!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Several fragments of his body simultaneously turned into flowing light and rushed into the distance.
Saint Domain experts.
They could achieve a rebirth with a drop of blood. It could be said that there was not a single weak point on their entire body.
"Immortal?" Wu Yuan's gaze was icy, and with a thought,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Nearly a thousand third-grade spiritual swords appeared around him, instantly forming an immensely huge sword domain.
The sixth layer of the Xuanhuang Sword Array—Xuanhuang Sword Domain.
And this sword domain was displayed using the true meaning of the stars. With ease, the sword qi was vast, covering an area of thousands of miles.
All the remnants of Shi Jing were oppressed, and his speed sharply reduced.
Whoosh! Countless sword lights whistled, numerous flying swords formed starry divine swords, roaring and tearing Shi Jing's body further apart.
In just a breath.
Shi Jing's towering body was strangled empty. All the life source contained in his body was exhausted!
Saint Domain expert, Shi Jing.
Dead!
Refining body practitioners, if they could maintain their defense and keep their body as pure as one, they could withstand attacks for a long time, even in a big battle for three days and nights without a problem.
But if their body was torn apart, even with abundant life source, they couldn't withstand it for long.
"A fifth-rank warrior? A reward of five hundred thousand source crystals?" Wu Yuan had already received a communication from the Witch Blood Shrine.
He was very calm.
In terms of foundation, Wu Yuan, who commanded the Purple Mansion Battle Formation, was slightly weaker. But in terms of the comprehension of the Dao, Wu Yuan was much stronger than Shi Jing.
Among Earthly Immortals and Earthly Witches, Wu Yuan's understanding of the Dao belonged to the middle level.
Killing an ordinary Second Layer of the Saint Domain?
It was not difficult at all!
"How many are left, escaping?" Wu Yuan's gaze swept across the void.
At this moment.
The initially confident unicorn-robed man had become extremely terrified and started to flee. An Shu, on the other hand, was using a sword formation to chase.
"Boom!"
Wu Yuan's figure moved, like a wandering dragon, speeding to the extreme, rushing towards the unicorn-robed man.

(End of this chapter)
Chapter 321: The Beginning of Slaughter
Swoosh!
The unicorn-robed man fled frantically, surrounded by nine spirit cauldrons, releasing immense power, sweeping through the vast starry sky.
However, An Shu's speed was faster.
As a peerless genius who comprehended the Way of the Wind and practiced swordsmanship, An Shu's speed, footwork, and attacks were all terrifying.
"The remnants of the Immortal Court, stay." An Shu roared, and countless green runes suddenly appeared all over his body.
Rumbling~
The green runes erupted, spreading over thousands of miles of the starry sky. The winged serpents seemed to be blessed, roaring one after another, becoming even more terrifying.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The nine flying swords formed winged serpents, fiercely attacking the spirit cauldrons, and an extremely fierce collision ensued.
Power erupted!
The winged serpents swept across the sky, causing nearby meteorites to explode, turning into powder. The entire starry sky seemed to tremble.
"Roar!" One of the winged serpents suddenly broke through the defense of the spirit cauldron, roaring and biting towards the unicorn-robed man.
But these weren't ordinary jaws.
Clearly, they were 'teeth' formed by countless sword lights!
"Damn Witch." The unicorn-robed man gritted his teeth and roared. Suddenly, both palms merged, and countless rays of light burst forth from his palms.
The horn on his head also flew out suddenly.
Blood splattered.
In an instant, the massive horn and the rays of light formed a huge cone, stabbing towards the winged serpent roaring towards him.
"Pong~"
A direct head-on collision!
"Boom~" The winged serpent, with astonishing momentum, was pierced directly through the middle by the massive cone, exploding violently into countless scattered flying swords.
"Pu~" Blood overflowed from the corner of An Shu's mouth.
The sword formation was blasted apart in one move, and even his lifebound flying sword was damaged. With their minds connected, his spiritual consciousness naturally suffered trauma.
"Damn Witch, in a one-on-one, you won't be my opponent?" The unicorn-robed man roared in anger.
Boom!
The massive cone formed by the congealed horn swept across the vast void like a giant spear, working together with the spirit cauldrons to send the winged serpents flying.
"Haha, you might be stronger than me, but your strength is limited. Moreover, I'm not alone; you're doomed." An Shu laughed maniacally, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, making him look quite insane.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Infused with true essence and enhanced by the domain, the winged serpents roared, constantly swimming and killing towards the unicorn-robed man.
No longer a head-on clash.
Instead, they chose to entangle and fight, unable to threaten the unicorn-robed man but causing his speed to sharply decrease.
"Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother, save me." Two desperate roars echoed in the area.
They were the two six-armed Purple Mansion Battle Formations.
At this moment, Pei He, Lie Twelve, and others were fighting with all their strength, besieging the two powerful Purple Mansion Battle Formations.
Crucially!
The puppet master, Gongshu Jie, joined the battle. With his addition, the hundreds of puppet warriors were like hundreds of Earthly Immortal-level experts.
There were also those puppet giant snakes!
Six puppet giant snakes, each one's strength far surpassed the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, making them extremely formidable.
Mutual cooperation!
"No! My life and death tempering mission is about to be completed. I can't die here. It shouldn't be like this." One of the six-armed Purple Mansion Battle Formations went berserk, and the purple-robed woman leading the formation was full of longing for life.
She was originally a genius of the Immortal Palace.
With her comprehension of the Dao, breaking through the Refinement Realm was effortless.
However, the Immortal Palace had regulations that prohibited breakthroughs within the Witch-Immortal battlefield. One could only venture with the foundation of the ninth level of the Purple Mansion and the ninth level of the Mountain and River.
Originally, by depleting this vein of Fire Source Crystal, she could return to the Immortal Palace. However, she never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent.
A genius who comprehended the Dao Domain?
In the Immortal Palace, each one was prestigious.
Suddenly.
"Roar~"
A puppet giant snake suddenly lunged, directly blocking a slash from the Purple Mansion Battle Formation. Immediately after, it fiercely bit into the formation's body.
"Rip~" With this bite, the Purple Mansion Battle Formation was instantly torn open, revealing the terrified Purple Mansion cultivators inside.
This blow was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing the already heavily injured and near-collapsing Purple Mansion Battle Formation to completely shatter.
"Escape!"
"Run."
"Escape for our lives." Immediately, numerous Purple Mansion cultivators from the shattered battle formation fled in panic in all directions.
"Escape?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! For the reward of source crystals." Pei He, Zhang Shan, Bing Roushui, and others went completely mad, desperately chasing and slaughtering the fleeing Purple Mansion cultivators.
"Roar~"
"Hoo!" Those puppet giant snakes also swam through the void, directly tearing apart one Purple Mansion cultivator after another.
Even the genius who comprehended the 'True Intent Seventh Layer' of the Dao did not escape and was swiftly killed.
Two six-armed Purple Mansion Battle Formations were defeated, leaving only one.
Facing the siege.
It became increasingly difficult to hold on.
... Battles in the Witch-Immortal battlefield often took a long time to erupt.
However, once they erupted, unless the strengths were very close, they mostly ended quickly.
The unicorn-robed man, who had been fleeing frantically, naturally sensed the predicament of his two junior sisters.
Moreover, he knew that one of his junior sisters had fallen, and the other could not hold on for much longer.
"Junior Sister!"
The unicorn-robed man's heart was in pain. "We agreed to go back to the Immortal Palace together, to become Heavenly Immortals together in the future!"
However.
He didn't even have time to grieve.
Because, with Wu Yuan bursting at full speed and no one else blocking him, he had already chased over in just a breath.
Terrifying sword light cut through the sky.
"Pong~"
The sword cauldron collided, and the seemingly indestructible spirit cauldron was sent flying, unable to withstand Wu Yuan's divine sword.
"Pu~" The unicorn-robed man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The cauldron could stabilize the void and conform to a unique and mysterious operation of heaven and earth, making its defensive power and stability very strong.
However, when the strength gap was too large, its effectiveness diminished.
"Give up resistance."
"Die a little easier." Wu Yuan stepped on the void, as if stepping on endless land, rapidly approaching, and a sword thrust out in just a breath.
Like the collapse of heaven and earth, with the additional support of the True Intent of the Stars.
Directly piercing towards the unicorn-robed young man.
"You are the one who should die, not me." The unicorn-robed young man looked as if he had gone mad because he had sensed that his last junior sister had also fallen.
Rumbling!
The enormous cone-shaped object transformed by the unicorn roared, gathering into a terrifying radiance, giving a sense of piercing through the heavens as it met Wu Yuan's divine sword.
"Boom!"
In an extremely terrifying collision, shockwaves swept across the starry sky, while Wu Yuan, leading the Purple Mansion Battle Formation, stood firm on the void.
However, the massive cone suddenly burst open, revealing the horn contained within.
There was a faint crack on the horn.
"Pu chi~" The unicorn-robed young man spat out another mouthful of blood, and his spiritual aura became feeble.
This was his strongest lifebound treasure, used sparingly.
With great power, once damaged, the backlash was severe.
"No!"
"A bunch of trash, get out of my way." The unicorn-robed man was still desperately manipulating the spirit cauldron, blasting away the winged serpents.
However.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" When Wu Yuan's powerful Stellar Domain pressed down, accompanied by tearing sword lights that ripped through the heavens and earth.
Though the unicorn-robed man struggled desperately.
In the end, he couldn't escape the path of defeat.
"Swoosh!"
Another sword light tore through the heavens and directly pierced through the unicorn-robed young man's body. The sword light spread, causing his body to completely vanish.
Only a pile of treasures without an owner remained.
At this point.
The starry sky fell completely silent.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
"Commander!"
"Commander." Eight huge figures rushed over, each one extremely excited. They were Pei He, Lie Twelve, Yu Zhuo, and others.
They surrounded Wu Yuan, and each of them looked at Wu Yuan with intense and excited eyes.
"Commander, we underestimated you before," Pei He said in a low voice, his eyes burning. "It's our honor to be able to follow you."
"Yes, from today onwards, wherever Commander says to go, we'll follow," Zhang Shan grinned.
The other team leaders also smiled.
In this battle, they were truly conquered by Wu Yuan. With just the command of a Purple Mansion Battle Formation, he easily killed a Saint Domain powerhouse. How terrifying!
Genius!
Definitely a super genius who can single-handedly kill enemies beyond their realm.
Following such a peerless genius would undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of survival and the speed of completing honing tasks.
"Remember."
"Don't expose my identity. Don't say that I joined temporarily. I am a member of the Fire Cang Army," Wu Yuan's voice echoed in the minds of all Fire Cang soldiers.
"Yes."
"Understood." Pei He, Lie Twelve, and others responded in a voice transmission.
They also had their speculations.
The commander was probably a peerless genius from the core of the Hengyang Immortal Realm, hiding his identity to hone his skills in the Immortal-Witch battlefield.
...Swoosh! Swoosh!
Having cleared the remaining battlefield, An Shu and Gongshu Jie also transformed into two streams of light and rushed over.
"Sword Friend Mingjian, admirable!" An Shu's attitude was much more respectful. "With Sword Friend's strength, even in the fourth original Witch Realm of our Cangfeng Witch Realm, you could probably rank among the top few thousand."
"Sword Friend, are you a peerless genius from the Hengyang Immortal Realm?" An Shu asked tentatively.
Wu Yuan smiled without saying a word.
"An Shu, don't ask."
Seeing this, Gongshu Jie immediately laughed and said, "With Sword Friend Mingjian's strength, he's probably one of the top existences in this battlefield. Invincible."
"Another army under the command."
"It's our fortune to be able to team up with Sword Friend Mingjian to kill enemies," Gongshu Jie said with a smile. "An Shu, let's go to the location of the Fire Source Crystal Vein now."
"But don't let the crustal movement cover the vein again," Gongshu Jie added.
"Haha, yes."
Seeing Wu Yuan smile without saying a word, An Shu understood that he had violated a taboo. He quickly changed the topic, "This area is relatively remote, and although our battle was intense, it's unlikely that other teams will come to investigate."
"Let's go check the Fire Source Crystal Vein first."
"An Shu, you lead." Wu Yuan smiled.
"Let's go!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The group did not disband the battle formation but directly transformed into streams of light, descending towards the stars tens of thousands of miles away.
The distant first-grade spiritual weapon warship, also carrying several non-participating Mountain and River Realm and Purple Mansion Realm Fire Cang soldiers, followed suit.
...
In the Blood Witch Temple, in a towering temple, numerous light screens covered the area.
Many black-armored soldiers were moving back and forth.
"Attention, in the Starfield 1294 war zone, a sixth-tier warrior named Mingjian has just emerged."
In front of one of the light screens, several figures were analyzing the text and data on the screen. "Killed a Saint Domain powerhouse."
"Killed a genius from the Immortal Temple."
"Mingjian is probably not a genius from our Cangfeng Witch Realm. He comes from the Fire Cang Army in the Hengyang Immortal Realm. Keep an eye on him."
...
Almost at the same moment.
In a magnificent temple belonging to the Thunder Feather Temple on the Blood Witch Immortal Island, it also gathered numerous geniuses from the Thunder Feather Temple.
"The genius from the Immortal Temple, Gu Zhong, has fallen."
"A Saint Domain cultivator, Shi Jing, has fallen."
"The suspected killer is likely the same person, probably a super genius who has comprehended the Domain (lower-level laws)."
"Pay close attention."
"At the Starfield 1294 war zone." A large amount of information was also being summarized in this towering temple.
...
On the roaring surface of the star, two warships hovered above a huge pit.
"The remaining Purple Mansion cultivators and puppets have all been killed," Gongshu Jie smiled. "They dug almost two-thirds of the vein."
"Just one-third remains."
"But the Fire Source Crystals they dug up have also been confiscated by us, thanks to them digging for us," An Shu grinned.
Then he looked at Wu Yuan, "Friend Mingjian, thank you for this. Without you, we might not even have survived, let alone win this battle."
"Yes," Gongshu Jie nodded.
"We can only achieve results by working together," Wu Yuan smiled.
" Gongshu, how many more days until the excavation is complete?" An Shu looked at Gongshu Jie.
"Four days," Gongshu Jie said, "My laborers are working day and night."
Wu Yuan and the others listened.
Why bring a puppet master?
Because these rock-star constructs were very special, extremely sturdy, and had incredible gravity. Even a Purple Mansion Nine Realm expert, using their full strength, could only create a large pit at most.
If you rely on digging by yourself? How long would it take?
Unlike Puppet Masters, like Gongshu Jie, his laborers may not have strong combat power, but they are skilled in mining.
"All Fire Source Crystal Veins, sold to the Blood Witch Temple, have a total value of approximately 13 billion source crystals," Gongshu Jie continued.
13 billion source crystals!
This statement made the hearts of Peihe, Li Twelve, and the other captains tremble fiercely. It was simply a huge fortune.
Enough to make experts in the Refinement Saint Domain turn green with envy.
Of course, Peihe, Bing Roushui, and the others did not speak. They knew very well that, firstly, veins of this grade were extremely rare. Secondly, without Wu Yuan, they wouldn't be able to participate in the competition for Fire Source Crystal Veins of this level with their own strength.
So, they all looked at Wu Yuan.
Before Wu Yuan could speak,
"Sword Friend Mingjian," An Shu said with a smile, "I've thought about it. You take half of the spoils from killing enemies just now, and Gongshu and I each take one-fourth."
"At the same time, the previous agreement is void. The deposit I paid you last time doesn't need to be returned, but the distribution of Fire Source Crystal Veins later needs to be adjusted."
"I'll take 40%, you and your team take 40%, and Gongshu takes 20%."
He voluntarily made concessions.
"Well, agreed." Wu Yuan nodded.
"No problem." Gongshu Jie also smiled.
This Fire Source Crystal Vein was provided by An Shu's intelligence, and Wu Yuan's team, led by him, was the key to the victory. Therefore, Gongshu Jie thought that taking 20% was already pretty good.
As for Wu Yuan?
He wouldn't refuse a treasure worth tens of billions of source crystals.
...Four more days until this Fire Source Crystal Vein is completely mined.
So, the task for the next few days is—guarding!
Prevent other powerful beings from descending and spying on this vein.
Peihe, Gongshu Jie, and the others quickly set up some alert formations around the vein and in the outer space.
And Wu Yuan, as soon as possible, proposed a new distribution plan for all the spoils: 40% for him, 40% for Peihe and the others, and 20% for Gongshu Jie.
No one opposed Wu Yuan's proposal. They even thought Wu Yuan was a bit at a disadvantage. After all, with Wu Yuan's formidable strength, once he seized the spoils, the value of the treasures obtained would be astonishing.
They only took 40%, seemingly less, but maybe it was much more than what they would get by venturing alone.
Most importantly, safety!
With a top-tier expert like Wu Yuan leading the way throughout the entire battlefield, their chances of survival were greatly increased.
In the core chamber of the first-grade spiritual weapon warship.
Wu Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Killing a Saint Domain powerhouse and killing an Immortal Temple genius yield the same reward?" Wu Yuan secretly thought, "Both are rewarded with 500,000 source crystals?"
Wu Yuan could check the detailed breakdown of source crystal rewards.
Killing two opponents, half of the source crystal rewards were given to the other eighty Purple Mansion cultivators who formed the array.
"So, the rewards from the Blood Witch Temple are judged based on the opponent's strength," Wu Yuan thought to himself, "For Purple Mansion and Mountain and River cultivators, as long as they can erupt with the power of the Refinement Saint Domain, they are also rewarded according to the Refinement Saint Domain?"
"That makes sense."
"If the rewards aren't increased, how many would be willing to work hard to hunt down those geniuses?"
And just one battle.
Wu Yuan gained a reward of one million source crystals, directly promoting him to a sixth-tier warrior, reaching a level that countless Purple Mansion cultivators aspired to reach.
"Too slow."
"This time, I accumulated so much only because I encountered a few powerful experts," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, "If it were all Purple Mansion cultivators?"
He might not be able to kill them all.
Accumulating one hundred million source crystal rewards to become a ninth-tier warrior, when would that be?
You should know that the Blood Witch Temple's reward in source crystals is very limited.
However, the higher the tier, the more you can use source crystal rewards to exchange for some special rewards.
For example—reaching the ninth-tier warrior, every 'ten million source crystal reward' can be exchanged for one point at the Temple of Dao, with a maximum of ten points.
This is what Wu Yuan desires.
"However, the source crystal rewards are scarce."
"But the harvest of blood mist is not bad." Wu Yuan sat cross-legged, quietly sensing the blood mist in his upper dantian palace.
Majestic!
Surrounding the Black Tower.
"Killing a Saint Domain powerhouse and obtaining blood mist is equivalent to killing two or three hundred opponents of the same realm." Wu Yuan estimated the storage limit of the blood mist in the upper dantian palace.
He contemplated silently, "To reach the upper dantian palace's capacity limit? I estimate that I need to kill thirty to forty Saint Domain powerhouses."
"Or kill tens of thousands of Purple Mansion cultivators."
This doesn't even include the continuous consumption brought about by purifying the 'power of faith' endlessly.
"Life-and-death battles, gaining blood mist, and purifying the power of faith with blood mist."
"At the same time, each life-and-death battle verifies my techniques." A smile appeared on Wu Yuan's lips. "This time coming to the Witch Immortal Battlefield, I've come at the right time."
"Don't say that the two major forces haven't discovered my true strength yet."
"Even if they find out, so what?"
"A genius from the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm, even if it's the Thunder Feather Temple, won't go crazy targeting me. They won't dispatch the most top-tier geniuses to confront me." Wu Yuan has checked a large amount of information about the unspoken rules.
He understands some of the hidden rules.
If it were a genius from the Azure Peak Witch Realm, being too crazy and conspicuous would easily make the Thunder Feather Temple target them.
Wu Yuan calmed down.
Continuing to comprehend the Dao of Ten Thousand Longevity.
The pure power of faith is truly magical.
It is a long-term process of continuous strengthening and transformation of the divine soul as it integrates into the divine soul.
This will make Wu Yuan's comprehension speed faster and faster.
...Four days later, on the surface of the stars, hundreds of figures gathered at the entrance of a huge crater.
"Phew!"
"Sword Friend Mingjian, these are the Fire Source Crystals we agreed to give you. Take a look." An Shu waved his hand and threw several storage treasures toward Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan reached out and quickly checked them.
No mistakes.
"Sword Friend An Shu, thanks." Wu Yuan grinned. This wealth was worth just tens of billions of source crystals with his current status and strength.
However!
What the master and seniors gave, and what he earned himself, were ultimately different.
The latter had a greater sense of accomplishment.
"If you want to thank someone, it should be me."
An Shu smiled, "Sword Friend Mingjian, Gongshu and I plan to go back to the war base and deliver the Fire Source Crystals. Would you like to come with us?"
"No need." Wu Yuan shook his head. "I'll lead the team to hunt for a while first."
Return to the war base?
The first-grade spiritual weapon warship would take six or seven days for a round trip of nearly one billion miles.
Wu Yuan didn't want to waste more time.
"Alright, then we'll leave first." An Shu smiled, "When we return to the battlefield base, we'll gather again if there's time."
"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded.
They parted ways at this point.
An Shu and Gongshu Jie headed towards their own war base.
Meanwhile, Wu Yuan led the team, riding a first-grade spiritual weapon warship, leaving this star and heading in the opposite direction of An Shu and the others.
Inside the warship...
"Commander, even if we're going to kill enemies, can't we travel together for a while and then split up when we reach the core war zone?" Pei He asked in confusion.
Other captains and soldiers were equally puzzled.
"Take a look." Wu Yuan waved his hand.
Instantly, a huge projection screen appeared in front of everyone.
Two large dots and countless small dots.
There was also a red area.
"These two dots are the war bases of our two major factions in this starry sky, approximately 5 billion miles apart," Wu Yuan said softly. "And the millions of small dots are those rocky stars."
Everyone listened attentively.
"The red area in the center of the two war bases is the most intense battlefield," Wu Yuan smiled slightly. "The closer to our war base, the more friendly forces and the safer it is, but there are also fewer enemies."
"On the contrary."
"Our current direction of advance is towards the Thunder Feather Temple's war base, and the closer we get, the higher the probability of encountering enemies."
"It seems dangerous."
"But the efficiency of slaughter is very high," Wu Yuan said lightly. "Killing outside the enemy's war base for a year should be equivalent to killing for ten years near our war base."
A few words.
It left Pei He, Lie Twelve, and the others stunned, sensing the madness of their leader.
Going to kill right at the enemy's doorstep?

Chapter 322: The Name of Ming Sword (24,000-26,000 Monthly Votes)
A first-grade spiritual weapon warship traveled through the vast and endless starry sky at a speed of 'three thousand li per second.'
Inside the warship, which was actually quite large and could accommodate over a thousand people, all ordinary Fire Cang soldiers were currently in the main cabin, each cultivating in seclusion.
Wu Yuan, along with the six team leaders, gathered in the warship's control cabin.
"Commander, isn't it too dangerous?" Lie Twelve couldn't help but speak up. "Based on the areas we've been assigned, during non-major battle periods, the conflict areas are generally categorized into four levels: 'Safe,' 'Normal,' 'Dangerous,' and 'Forbidden.'"
"Safe zones are generally close to our war base or some areas at the extreme edge of the war zone, where there are no stars and no source crystal veins to be found."
"Normal zones have fewer rocky stars, and there are fewer powerful individuals."
"Dangerous zones are in the central star belt, where there are numerous stars. Generally, every few million or tens of millions of miles, there is a star, making the probability of finding veins very high. This attracts a large number of powerful individuals."
"Like the star we stayed at before, it was considered a normal zone, not even reaching the level of a dangerous zone."
"According to the coordinates set by the commander, it falls deep into the dangerous zone, close to the forbidden zone," Lie Twelve said, looking at Wu Yuan.
Everyone looked at Wu Yuan, their eyes flickering.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
He naturally understood Pei He and their concerns. Among them, Pei He, who was the strongest, still had some time before reaching the threshold of the Refining Void Realm.
The entire army, with three hundred Fire Cang soldiers joining forces, could barely suppress talents like An Shu during a major battle.
This level of strength was good, but it was far from being able to dominate the entire battlefield.
At the pinnacle of the entire Wu Xian battlefield were those exceptional talents who comprehended the Dao Domain (lower-level laws) and even reached the second or third level of the Dao Domain, belonging to various superpowers.
Both major camps, especially the Cang Feng Witch Realm and the Thunder Feather Temple, had an unspoken agreement. The most exceptional geniuses who comprehended the Dao Domain would only use the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion Mountains and Rivers when traversing the battlefield. Even if they were to break through, they would leave before doing so.
In the end!
In places like the entire 36th battlefield, they were under the supervision of the two major forces, allowing countless juniors to compete and hone their skills.
In a sense, it was a normalized and weakened version of the 'Blood Refining Battle.'
If they were at the level of the Purple Mansion Mountains and Rivers, they would have the ability to dominate and slaughter across the battlefield, leaving no room for debate.
Of course.
Some ordinary geniuses who comprehended the Dao to the level of true understanding eight or nine times, reaching the cultivation level of the Refining Void Saint Realm, also had terrifying strength.
And Wu Yuan's strength.
Absolutely belonged to the pinnacle in the entire Immortal Witch battlefield.
Except for the top hundred in the Purple Mansion Mountains and Rivers of each major force, no one could intimidate him.
And with eighteen low-level battlefields combined, there were as many as tens of thousands of similar war bases, each war base extending over hundreds of billions of miles of starry space.
The probability of encountering such exceptional geniuses? Extremely low!
"I understand your concerns."
Wu Yuan said lightly, "I became your commander, so at least for the next three years, if you are willing, you can follow me."
"You should understand that with my strength, there is no effect of tempering in so-called normal zones."
Pei He, Lie Twelve, Shi Ji, and others couldn't help but exchange glances, having to admit that Wu Yuan was right.
"Following me will be even more dangerous."
"The targets I've chosen are less than three hundred million miles from the enemy's war base," Wu Yuan smiled, "As long as we kill a few batches of enemies, the news will spread."
"There will definitely be a large number of powerful individuals rushing over."
"Surrounding and hunting us."
"Very dangerous, but your speed in obtaining treasures and the efficiency of obtaining reward source crystals will be several times faster," Wu Yuan said, "You choose for yourselves."
"If you're willing to follow, listen to my orders."
"If not."
"Let Pei He take command, and you can roam freely in the normal zones where the danger is much less." Wu Yuan scanned the six team leaders before him.
After half a month.
To be honest, Wu Yuan has a good impression of them. This group of Fire Cang soldiers has straightforward personalities, similar to the geniuses of the Witch Realm.
However, Wu Yuan has his own path and thoughts. He won't let external factors interfere with his cultivation.
Pei He, Yu Zhuo, and others exchanged glances.
Soon.
"Commander, I'll follow you." The bald-looking Lie Twelve was the first to speak, grinning. "Seeking wealth in danger."
"Besides, with the commander's strength, it's hard to find opponents across the battlefield."
"I'm willing too." Pei He said lightly. "However, Commander, I've thought it through. When we reach the target area, I'll break through to the Refining Void Realm first."
"Alright." Wu Yuan nodded.
Refining Void Realm?
Pei He's comprehension of the Dao was barely enough to step into the Refining Void Realm. If he could break through, his strength would improve significantly, acting as a great boost.
"I'm willing too."
"I'll follow the commander."
In the end, all six team leaders reached a consensus, agreeing to follow Wu Yuan to the most dangerous area of the battlefield.
There, near the Forbidden Zone.
What does the Forbidden Zone mean? It represents, according to the Blood Witch Temple's judgment, that staying in that area for a long time is almost destined to fall.
"Haha, rest assured." Wu Yuan smiled. "Following me to explore, I won't let you down."
"Yes, Commander." Pei He, Lie Twelve, Bing Roushui, Yu Zhuo, and others all smiled, showing considerable respect.
It can be said that from this moment on, they truly began to regard Wu Yuan as their commander.
...
"Pei He, Lie Twelve, lead the team with Stone Extreme and move forward on a first-grade spiritual weapon warship, 50,000 miles to my left!"
"Bing Roushui, Yu Zhuo, lead a team with Zhang Shan, move forward on my right, 50,000 miles."
"This way, our exploration range will be greatly increased." Wu Yuan quickly issued the first order.
Expanding the search range in this way.
Of the treasures obtained from the previously killed Saint Realm expert and the genius from the Immortal Temple, Wu Yuan ended up with quite a few, including three first-grade spiritual weapon warships.
Therefore, Wu Yuan had Pei He and Bing Roushui each take control of one.
Contacting within the Witch Battlefield was not easy.
Among the team led by Wu Yuan, only he possessed the Godly Void Jade that could enter the 'Eternal Yang Immortal Realm.'
As for the Witch Realm? The Godly Void Jade they obtained could only be used in their personal palaces to check various related information from the Blood Witch Temple and the 'Warrior Rank List,' etc., but they couldn't contact each other.
Many functions were restricted.
However.
With Wu Yuan's means, creating a simple communication artifact was still very easy, at least for transmitting information within tens of millions of miles.
"Explore with all your might. Once you encounter the enemy or get attacked, send a message immediately."
"Maximum distance is 100,000 miles."
"Once attacked, the other two teams can arrive in a maximum of six breaths." Wu Yuan had thought it through long ago.
Exploring alone would slightly lower efficiency.
It also wasn't conducive to concealing his identity.
"Every opponent I kill will be sensed by the Thunder Feather Temple through the Godly Void Realm."
"If I kill alone and my performance is too frightening, too dazzling, I'll quickly attract attention." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "Maybe they'll send some geniuses to hunt me down."
Although not afraid.
But Wu Yuan didn't want to engage in a battle with the Temple geniuses so soon.
"Slowly slaughter, first raise the blood mist to the limit, and see if the Black Tower of the Refining Qi Avatar can undergo a transformation like the Body Refining Avatar." Wu Yuan's thoughts were very thorough.
This is the current primary goal.
Slaughter and tempering? It's just a side effect, not necessary to invite big trouble.
Every day, advancing about three hundred million miles, according to Wu Yuan's plan, it would take more than ten days to reach the target area.
However.
Wu Yuan's led team did not avoid some more dangerous areas. On the contrary, they actively approached areas where powerful individuals converge. Naturally, the journey was not so peaceful, and within less than a day, they encountered an attack.
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Pei He, Stone Extreme, and others took the initiative to rush out of the spiritual weapon warship.
Wu Yuan, Bing Roushui, and their led team also quickly went to the attack.
"So strong?"
"All of this... all Purple Mansion formations?" The attacking team despaired.
In just a few breaths, Wu Yuan and his team easily dealt with this group of less than twenty Purple Mansion cultivators.
Not one left.
...And this was just the beginning. As the team gradually entered the 'Star Belt' of the dangerous area, especially the dangerous area near the opposing force, the number of battles suddenly increased.
The strength of enemy teams became increasingly formidable.
However, they were mostly easily dealt with.
While continuously facing attacks, Wu Yuan and his team also used divine sense to explore and search for opposing cultivators.
Once found.
Wu Yuan would actively lead the team to kill, engage in battles, accumulate blood mist, and, in turn, strive to accumulate Source Crystal rewards.
In the end, after about fifteen days.
After seventeen battles, Wu Yuan led the team to reach the target area.
Most of the battles along the way were quite easy.
Only in one battle, they encountered a team led by a Virtual Refining Feathered Scholar. Wu Yuan led the formation to fully erupt, only then completing the kill.
On the whole, this journey was relatively easy.
...
Under a dark red star, on a giant meteor.
Three warships floated.
In one of the warships, a huge light screen projection appeared, showing densely packed star markings.
One small area was marked in blue.
"Next, we will operate in this area within a radius of thirty million miles." Wu Yuan pointed to the blue area, selecting the operational zone.
Here, it was only a few hundred million miles away from the Immortal Court's war zone.
It was one of the main channels where numerous Immortal Court cultivators traveled through the Star Belt. It could be said that, as long as the strength was strong enough, killing enemies in this area and accumulating reward Source Crystals would be very fast.
Of course, it was also extremely dangerous.
...As time passed.
As Wu Yuan's team operated in this area, they quickly attracted large numbers of Immortal Court teams to besiege them.
The reason was simple.
In low-level battlefields, truly outstanding geniuses who comprehend the Dao Realm were still relatively few. Refining Void Realm experts were often top-tier powerhouses. Typically, only they dared to freely roam in dangerous areas.
Peerless geniuses? Most of them were extremely confident and preferred to venture alone.
So, a team like the one led by Wu Yuan.
Under the divine sense exploration of Refining Void Realm experts, so many cultivators from Purple Mansion realms? And no Refining Void Realm experts among them.
At first glance, it seemed like a big fat sheep.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of many powerhouses.
However.
Once they attempted to engage in battle or ambush, when Wu Yuan erupted, leading the formation with the extreme Purple Mansion formation, it would shock and despair those teams daring to attack!
Too strong!
