Chapter 833: Chapter 828: The Frenzied Demon II

"White Dragon Heavenly Venerable, since high-level combat determines victory, why are Dao soldiers and lower-level cultivators still needed?" Lin Xin asked casually.

"You may not know, Divine Monarch." White Dragon Heavenly Venerable smiled, "When Heavenly Venerables fight, the Star Annihilation Weapons turn everything into dust, but the destructive range is limited and cannot extend infinitely far.

Even if a Daoist exerted a full-strength strike, it would only cover millions of spirit miles at most, just enough to destroy a small world, akin to a drop in the ocean within the Void. So how can we handle vast territories?"

"Daoist White Dragon is absolutely right." Venerable Xiushan agreed, "With the help of Dao soldiers, the actual control range can be expanded many times. In this way, as long as a Heavenly Venerable maintains combat suppression, they can control an area encompassing hundreds of worlds. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, if all you can do is destroy, it serves no purpose."

"We do not use individual cultivators because of the high casualty rate. Cultivators control Dao soldiers, and Dao soldiers control Void worlds. This model is mainstream at all times," White Dragon added.

"We’ve arrived!"

Venerable Daohua said suddenly.

In an instant, the four of them felt their bodies sink. The mothership burst through the tunnel into the chaotic and bloody Barbaric Wilderness Star Domain.

As soon as the mothership and fleet emerged, the surrounding space was filled with floating remnants of flesh and limbs.

Carnage and broken corpses floated aimlessly in the void, resembling discarded rubbish.

"Before our arrival, the Heavenly Venerable of the main sect had already retreated. Now only the other forces of the Heavenly Alliance are left here."

White Dragon Heavenly Venerable softly explained to Lin Xin.

At this moment, Lin Xin also noticed a beam of rainbow light flying towards them. Standing atop were several blood-stained, extremely haggard Heavenly Venerables.

Even Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan Yuqing, a top-level presence, showed a trace of fatigue. Clearly, the battle had been incredibly harsh.

The three quickly flashed out of the mothership and appeared less than a hundred meters in front of the rainbow light.

"Is that Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan Yuqing and the esteemed Daoist friends?"

Lin Xin called out loudly.

"Is it Divine Monarch Sherie leading the team? Isn’t it supposed to be Jiu Se Divine Lord?" Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan Yuqing was noticeably disappointed. Although he hid it well, Lin Xin still sensed it.

"Jiu Se Divine Lord is busy subduing the Northern Starfield; I am here to assist you all."

Lin Xin replied courteously. Then he greeted the other Heavenly Venerables one by one, who were all from Four Seas Fairy Mountains, Illusory Sea Polar Region, Buddha Domain, and other forces of varying sizes.

"You’re too kind, Divine Monarch. Please!"

Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan gestured invitingly.

Everyone surrounded Lin Xin’s party and passed through the blood-soaked star domain, arriving at a gigantic, black octopus-like structure.

The structure floated in the void, surrounded by countless transparent, fluorescent tentacles, making it look beautiful.

They entered from a small opening at the top.

Inside was a huge white square.

In the center of the square stood a golden statue of a goddess, radiating soft golden light that healed numerous cultivators and Dao soldiers around.

As soon as they entered, Lin Xin and the others smelled a nauseating, bloody stench.

Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan led them across the top of the statue, where they constantly heard wailing and crying from below.

"This is the recovery area for the wounded." A Heavenly Venerable softly introduced, "The Star Sea Blacksmith’s weapons are too troublesome. Once struck, our cultivators and Dao soldiers have to empty their blood ninety-nine times to completely cleanse the toxins."

"After one round of that, even a Nascent Soul cultivator is left with half a life." Another person sighed.

Lin Xin frowned, looking down below.

On the vast square, there were over ten thousand wounded, undergoing the intense blood-exchange process under the golden statue’s halo.

"Is this blood-exchange technique infused in the golden light?"

He asked.

"Yes, created by Medicine Master Bodhisattva of the Buddha Domain." A Venerable showed a respectful expression. "Without Medicine Buddha in the battles, even Earth Immortals and Heavenly Venerable incarnations would have suffered heavy casualties."

"Indeed, thanks to Medicine Buddha’s full support."

The other Heavenly Venerables also praised, obviously having benefited from it.

"You flatter me, but my mana is weak and cannot completely remove the pollution from you all...."

Among the Heavenly Venerables, a handsome man clad in a white kasaya declined modestly.

"Are these wounds caused by the Star Sea Blacksmith’s weapons?"

Lin Xin suddenly asked.

"Correct."

Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan nodded, not understanding his intentions.

Lin Xin looked down. The wounds of many cultivators and Dao soldiers continuously emitted wisps of black gas.

The black gas, like living creatures, would attempt to drill into other wounded’s injuries.

This formed a vicious cycle.

But it seemed the other Heavenly Venerables did not see it as clearly as he did.

"Time is of the essence, let’s start our strategic discussion immediately."

Not saying more, he had absorbed hundreds of world origins continuously from the main sect.

He felt his soul’s limit had completely disappeared, possibly elevated by the world origins to an indescribable state.

Hence, he could fully reap the Dao attributes now.

This vast Void Demon Spirit battlefield, for him, was a massive granary!

"Divine Monarch wouldn’t you first understand the situation...."

"I can’t wait." Lin Xin interrupted, squinting his eyes and licking his lips. "The forces of Void Demon Spirits are strong. If we don’t curb them early, the situation may become untenable."

Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan felt strange.

Other Heavenly Venerables came and did nothing if they didn’t need to, refraining as much as possible.

They only fought back when the Void Demon Spirits pushed to their doorstep.

Everyone knew Void Demon Spirits could exponentially proliferate through minerals, far exceeding the number and reproduction speed of Dao soldiers. Fighting a war of attrition was courting disaster.

But Divine Monarch Sherie seemed peculiar.

"I heard Divine Monarch Sherie just left the Sword Hall.... perhaps he is eager to test his top Sword techniques?"

White Dragon Heavenly Venerable, also a battle maniac, found Lin Xin’s words matching his own thoughts and laughed heartily.

"In that case, let Divine Monarch lead the sortie." Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuyan ceased his comments, arranging directly.

"Do you need assistance?"

A Venerable from Four Seas Fairy Mountains asked.

"No need, I will take one path alone. The others can group together." Lin Xin smiled, "I cultivated Devouring Divine Ability specified for Demon Spirits, perfect for this occasion."

He could not wait; numerous Demon Spirits were countless attributes for him.

*********************

Core battlefield of the central war zone.

Innumerable streams of white and black clashed intensely.

White Dao soldiers and black Demon Spirits tangled and fought fiercely. Every moment, billions of lives vanished, followed by constant reinforcements.

In the rear of both camps, huge distorted forces slowly turned, spiraling and releasing terrifying gravity.

This marked a mutual deterrence from countless engagements.

The two power wheels indicated the presence of Heavenly Venerables and Spirit Asura Kings. If one side deployed these ranks, the other would immediately respond in kind.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a giant figure of around seven meters high appeared on the edge of the Dao soldier’s wheel.

The figure had four arms, a black hole in its chest, and three black holes on its back emitting white smoke.

With long limbs, seated in the void, its presence seemed detached and godlike.

"Here.... is the best spot...."

The figure glanced below at the clashing armies, sensing strong blood energy and power waves.

"What is that, a human?"

A group of huge, black-winged fat monsters suddenly jumped out of the nearby void.

"Haha, a human cultivator, my favorite food!!"

"Kill him! Eat him! Tear him apart!! Hahaha!"

Among the fat monsters, one with a white flower crown, in a white robe, sporting big belly and black wings, holding a strange black-smoking giant knife.

"Whoa~~~~ Look what I found? A high-rank human cultivator! A sixth-rank existence! Truly lucky!"

Roaring with sharp, teeth-filled mouth, the white-robed monster thrilled.

"Bring his head back, the Blacksmith Lord will forge better weapons for me!"

"Already evolved to this level of intelligence?"

Lin Xin’s eyes moved slightly, giving a strange, empty, rigid impression.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!! Hahahaha!!" A gang of fat monsters surrounded Lin Xin.

Each holding giant blades over ten meters long, encircling Lin Xin tightly.

Their shadows almost covered the nearby constellations’ light, engulfing Lin Xin completely.

Waves of sixth-rank terror spread around, hiding and cutting off the Dao soldiers’ sensing spells.

These fat monsters were a new variant of Void Demon Spirits, a sixth-rank Mutated Spirit King made by the Star Sea Blacksmith fusing several Demon Spirits.

Each was of sixth-rank, their collective pollution waves greatly increased life forces, almost impossible to kill quickly.

Even a Heavenly Venerable would get headaches meeting them.

Lin Xin, casually placing his four arms on his knees, sat in the void as if ignoring the monsters.

"Is he scared stiff?"

A fat monster reached out its big hand towards Lin Xin’s head.

"Have you ever seen."

Lin Xin suddenly raised his head, smiling strangely.

"A flower of death made from flesh?"

Whoosh....

The big hand fiercely grabbed Lin Xin’s head, seemingly to smash it.

"Indeed foolish, hahaha!"

The fat monsters laughed uproariously.

But then, an event terrifying them happened.

Their bodies began twisting, stretching, and shrinking rapidly.

Szzzz!!!!

An indescribable sharp noise echoed in the void, like metal harshly scraping glass, making one’s skin crawl.
