I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 481 Battle (Part 1)

Hongshang asked, "We have never spoken in front of others before. Why did you choose to stay this time?"

Baishan, feeling somewhat excited, suppressed his own emotions and said, "Please forgive me, Master. The reason I stayed is because I heard Master mention that the connection between the Poor Thousand Worlds and the Great World is becoming even closer. I wonder how certain this matter is."

"Oh? With your strength, you also know a lot about the Great World. Why are you asking this now? Could it be that you have other thoughts?" Hongshang looked at Baishan with some curiosity.

As far as he knew, Baishan's lifespan was nearing its end. Could it be that he also wanted to break through the Divine Transformation and ascend to the Poor Thousand Worlds after the invasion of the Devil World?

Baishan nodded and continued excitedly, "I won't hide it from you, Master. In these years, I have also had many opportunities and have been working hard to break through the Divine Transformation. However, the cost of breaking through is not small. If I cannot ascend to the Great World within a year after the breakthrough, I'm afraid I will suffer a great backlash in this realm. My soul will be destroyed, and even reincarnation in Samsara will be impossible. That's why I have to ask Master for some assurance."

"Oh?" Hongshang looked at Baishan in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity, but it's also very dangerous. Even before the Ten Thousand Years, it usually takes nearly ten years for a typical Divine Transformation cultivator to ascend after breaking through. Hongshang shook his head.

"Master, I know my lifespan is short. Now I can only try my best, even if it means taking a desperate gamble. And the key to all this lies in whether we can restore the connection between the two realms."

Hearing Baishan's words, Hongshang also felt conflicted for a moment. He couldn't be a hundred percent sure either.

But seeing Baishan's hopeful expression, he nodded, "I can't say it's a ten percent chance, but based on the discussions and research we three have done on various ancient texts in Zhongzhou over the years, there is a fifty percent chance."

Upon hearing this, Baishan's face lit up with joy. Fifty percent was already enough.

As long as he could break through the Divine Transformation and successfully ascend to the Poor Thousand Worlds within a year, he would be able to suppress the backlash. With a lifespan of over two thousand years in the Divine Transformation stage, he would have great prospects.

After a few more words, Baishan took his leave.

Watching Baishan's figure disappear, Hongshang sighed softly, but his face became firm again.

This was not only Baishan's opportunity, but also his own opportunity. If he couldn't ascend to the Great World, he didn't know how he would get through the next few hundred years.

Of course, before that, they had to resolve the invasion of the Devil World.

In the following days, various regions in Zhongzhou began to counterattack. Led by numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, they fought fiercely against the Devil World. Both sides suffered losses, and both knew that this was to deplete the other's strength, so they didn't hold back. The struggle in Zhongzhou was happening almost every moment and everywhere.

Among them, Divine Transformation cultivators also made their moves, engaging in two consecutive battles.

The first was Hongshang and Huang Laozu teaming up to deal with a Divine Transformation Black Jiao from the Devil World, and the second was Qilin Zhenren fighting a Devil World Divine Transformation Devil Cultivator. The strength of the Devil World's experts was unknown, but Hongshang, Huang Laozu, and Qilin Zhenren didn't hold back at all.

After the battles, within a radius of several hundred miles, many mountain peaks were shattered, displaying astonishing power.

"Is it starting off so intense?" Lin Qing, in Yunzhou, kept receiving reports from Zhongzhou. He didn't expect Zhongzhou to take the initiative and start off so fiercely. From the reports, within a few days, nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen in Zhongzhou.

"It's really dangerous. Fellow Daoist Deng, what do you think?"

Lin Qing shook his head and looked at the fellow Daoist Deng beside him.

A few days ago, after receiving news of the Devil World invading Zhongzhou, Lin Qing originally thought that fellow Daoist Deng would immediately return to Lanzhou. Unexpectedly, fellow Daoist Deng insisted on staying and had been talking non-stop with Lin Qing these past few days. Their conversations always revolved around the Devil World in Zhongzhou, but there was never any mention of Lin Qing going to Zhongzhou. In a way, they enjoyed their conversations.

Lin Qing knew what he was planning, but he didn't reveal it and allowed fellow Daoist Deng to stay in his Mu Lin Xian City.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's question, fellow Daoist Deng shook his head and smiled. "It started off so intense. It seems that the strength in Zhongzhou has become formidable, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

Lin Qing nodded in response to these words.

What they both couldn't imagine was that the main reason behind all this was the Three Great Divine Transformations wanting to quickly repel the Devil Dao and ascend as soon as possible. Otherwise, they wouldn't be willing to fight like this.

"At this rate, it won't be long before a major battle takes place," Lin Qing said.

"That's right. It will probably happen within a month. The Devil World won't drag it out. After all, they crossed realms to come here. Endurance is not their strong suit, and the same goes for Zhongzhou. If they continue to endure, Zhongzhou will suffer greatly. There can only be one decisive battle," fellow Daoist Deng spoke with confidence.

"A decisive battle to determine the outcome! Fellow Daoist, you have a way with words," Lin Qing nodded and said.

Half a month later, outside the Zhongsheng City!

In the sky and on the ground within a radius of hundreds of miles, there were countless figures of demons, completely surrounding the Zhongsheng City. These demons, after the battles in the Preceding Entry Stage, not only emitted Devilish Qi, but also exuded a fierce and malicious aura. They bared their teeth and looked greedily at the Zhongsheng City.

Most of the demons' strength was at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, as most of the Demonic Beasts in the Qi Refining stage had been exterminated by human cultivators.

They gathered here, naturally preparing for a decisive battle with the cultivators of Zhongzhou.

Just as fellow Daoist Deng had said, for the demons of the Devil World, it was difficult to sustain themselves by crossing realms and enduring. Therefore, a decisive battle that could determine the outcome was necessary.

They all knew that the Zhongsheng City was a sacred place for cultivating immortality. As long as they took down the Zhongsheng City, everything would be much easier.

Inside the Zhongsheng City, there were also millions of cultivators gathered. Just like the demons, the human cultivators didn't want to engage in a prolonged battle either. Both sides tacitly prepared for the battle half a month later.

Compared to the overwhelming number of demons, the number of human cultivators was also extremely large. They were equally strong, all at the Foundation Establishment stage or above. It was hard to say who would win or lose in this battle.

Among them, observant individuals noticed that there were no Divine Transformation cultivators on either side, whether from the Devil World or the human cultivators.

In fact, in the battle a few days ago, a Divine Transformation Black Jiao and a Divine Transformation Devil Cultivator from the Devil World were both heavily injured by the three people from the Hongshang Sect and had returned to the Devil World. Of course, the three people from the Hongshang Sect didn't fare well either and were currently in closed-door training to recover.

Therefore, there were no Divine Transformation cultivators participating in this battle.

On the side of the Devil World demons, in the upcoming battle, they mostly relied on their powerful physical bodies and the strange abilities bestowed by Devilish Qi. On the side of the human cultivators, they possessed many powerful treasures. The Zhongsheng Tower in the Zhongsheng City had long been fully activated, and other major forces in Zhongzhou had also brought out their hidden treasures.

At this moment, in the center of the Zhongsheng City, there were a drum, a flag, a mirror, and a spear.
