CHAPTER 480: CHAPTER 473: CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE SEA RACE (THIRD UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Watching the battle between the two sides, Lu Xuanji’s footsteps flickered, driving the [Vertical Earth Golden Light] as he lunged at a Nascent Soul Cultivator, striking down with the Nine-Colored Divine Saber in his hand.

One to two segments.

That Sea Race Nascent Soul was killed on the spot.

With flashing steps, he drove the [Vertical Earth Golden Light] and charged towards another Sea Race Nascent Soul.

Moving rapidly across the battlefield, he avoided protracted engagements, opting only for quick decisive battles.

Upon encountering an enemy, he wouldn’t entangle too much, delivering a fatal strike directly.

If killing was difficult, he would attack the relatively weaker enemies.

A great man in the previous life once said, engage in complete annihilation battles, not just routing battles. It’s better to annihilate an entire enemy regiment in battle than to route an enemy division.

On the battlefield of the Cultivation Immortality Realm, during clashes with enemies, Lu Xuanji also pursued the quantity of enemies killed, above just grievously injuring them.

It’s better to kill one enemy than to critically injure ten.

Swish swish!

With flickering steps, Lu Xuanji moved quickly, his long saber flashing as he continuously slayed powerful enemies.

Another Nascent Soul fell.

During continuous motion, within just a dozen breaths, twelve Nascent Soul cultivators had perished.

Immediately, the scattered Sea Race cultivators quickly gathered together, launching killing moves and attacking Lu Xuanji.

Boom boom boom!

Amidst dense magical attacks, about a dozen spells bombarded Lu Xuanji’s body.

The Immortal Divine Ring on his body shattered one after another, as Lu Xuanji also coughed up blood, his aura weak.

"Don’t leave!"

"Fellow Daoist, I’m here!"

"Kill!"

At this moment, other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Human Race also drove secret techniques and attacked fiercely.

Another three Nascent Soul cultivators’ bodies were destroyed, and in a panic, their Nascent Souls fled.

With flickering steps, Lu Xuanji struck down with his long saber, but this time it wasn’t towards Nascent Soul cultivators, but Golden Core cultivators.

A flash of the destructive sword light, accompanied by destructive force, blasted out, killing twelve Golden Cores on the spot.

Just at this moment, a long sword was stabbed towards his back.

Lu Xuanji flickered his steps, driving the [Dragonfly Divine Form] to narrowly dodge a deadly strike, and without worrying about the attack from behind, he moved his steps again and struck towards the Sea Race Golden Core cultivators.

Those Golden Core cultivators of the Sea Race were all in utter fear, operating divine techniques to link their auras together, forming a shield in the void.

Runes flickered on the shield, with gold, white, and black intermingling, standing in the front.

Boom boom boom!

Lu Xuanji struck down with his long saber, chopping at the shield, which shook and cracked, yet it managed to withstand most of the force.

Swish swish!

With rapid movement, the long saber struck down fast and fiercely.

But after initial chaos, the Sea Race Golden Core cultivators quickly gathered together. An individual Golden Core cultivator would be immediately killed with his strike, like chopping vegetables. But when dozens or even hundreds of Golden Core cultivators pooled their magical powers together, they formed a three-colored shield, barricading in front.

Lu Xuanji struck seven or eight times consecutively, yet returned empty-handed.

Swish!

At this moment, a large bell appeared in Lu Xuanji’s palm.

This is the [Awakening Bell]

Clang clang!

The bell tolled, as the endless sound killing power transformed into waves that swept towards the Golden Core cultivators present.

Not good!

The Golden Core cultivators present hurriedly drove secret techniques to resist.

But as the bell rang, one by one, the Golden Core cultivators’ divine souls shattered and they perished then and there.

Clang clang!

Lu Xuanji shook the [Awakening Bell] again, launching divine soul attacks on the Golden Core cultivators present.

The power of the sound waves surged like a tide, attacking the Sea Race’s Golden Core cultivators, wiping out countless Golden Core cultivators’ divine souls, making them perish on the spot.

The bell continued to ring constantly, with every ring marking the death of a Sea Race Golden Core.

Witnessing the demise of batches of Golden Core cultivators, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sea Race clamored and attacked.

But Lu Xuanji’s expression remained unchanged, ringing the bell, turning into endless death.

Since ancient times, starting a war is easy, but ending one is difficult.

The Sea Race dictates when the war starts, but I decide when it ends.

If you’re not going to fight, so be it, but if you do fight, make the enemy tremble, make them fear, make them shudder.

The [Awakening Bell], as an area attack magical treasure, can be said to be a massacre artifact. It has limited lethal force on Nascent Soul cultivators and even late-stage Golden Core cultivators; but for low-level cultivators, it’s a widespread slaughter, considered as an unrivaled killing artifact.

After just nine rings of the bell, more than a thousand Golden Core cultivators perished, mostly at the early Golden Core stage, with only a few at mid-stage, and none at the late stage.

But a Golden Core cultivator is still a Golden Core cultivator.

Don’t be misled, there are over ten thousand Sea Race Golden Core cultivators taking part in this battle, giving the false impression that Golden Core cultivators are as common as street sweepers, seemingly worthless.

But this is just an illusion.

Just like how prestigious universities graduate tens of thousands yearly, it doesn’t mean a prestigious university degree is worthless.

Every Golden Core cultivator is a high-ranking Sea Race cultivator, an elite among elites, wielding significant power and authority.

But now they’re falling like cut wheat, dying like feathers, seemingly worthless.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

At this time, the Sea Race Nascent Soul cultivators were organizing a retreat.

Many surviving Golden Core cultivators fled in fear, with expressions of terror and dread.

Kill!

Lu Xuanji chased after them, along with other Nascent Soul cultivators.

The so-called retreat quickly turned into a rout.

The Sea Race was in rout, countless Golden Core cultivators perished, and Nascent Soul cultivators were killed.

Until finally, they retreated to an island, where an array rose, and only then did the Human Race stop their pursuit.

Upon tallying the numbers, in this battle, thirty-eight Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sea Race fell, and over a thousand Golden Core cultivators perished, an utter and significant defeat.

On the other hand, the Human Race had thirty-two Nascent Soul cultivators participate, all of whom were injured, but only three Nascent Soul cultivators perished.

The Human Race emerged with a great victory.

The Sea Race, however, was demoralized.

...

Everyone withdrew.

Upon reaching the shore, many Nascent Soul cultivators burst into hearty laughter, their expressions carrying a sense of relief.

From battling the Demon Race to battling the Sea Race, the entire Human Race felt oppressed.

Yet after this battle, everyone’s spirits were uplifted.

Why cultivate immortality?

It’s certainly for eternal life and immense power, but more so for living happily, freely, and with contentment.

If a cultivator lives oppressed, uncomfortable, and constantly suppressed, living unsatisfyingly in every aspect, feeling unrelieved and mentally burdened, how long can the path of cultivating immortality last?

Yet this battle, greatly defeating the Sea Race, brought relief and pride to the entire Human Race.

"It’s a pity that fellow Daoists Li Fire, Xuan Yu, and Zhao Ming have fallen!" At this moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator spoke, his expression somewhat sorrowful.

But True Monarch Mo Yu smiled and said, "To be born a man, not seeking eternal life, but seeking a worthy death!"
