Chapter 579: Thunder Roc Impact Tier 5_1

Tianyuan City, Tianyuan Garden.

Yin Qing, Yin Shi, Tuna, Tuo Shan, and six other Divinity Transformation Cultivators sat within a cyan stone pavilion, their faces void of any hint of joy.

Five Divinity Transformation Cultivators had fallen, four were severely injured, and Yin Jie’s physical body was destroyed.

"I said we shouldn’t have started the war. Now look, we’ve suffered significant losses."

Tuna complained.

One Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Purple Charm Clan had been killed, and Tuna himself had sustained minor injuries.

"I didn’t support attacking first either. Shen Long isn’t so easy to deal with."

Tuo Shan echoed.

"The Human Clan also suffered considerable losses. We didn’t come out of this without gains, it’s just that Shen Long was tougher than expected. Even with Fairy Yi and two others joining forces, they couldn’t kill Shen Long. How exactly did Shen Long manage to kill the three of them?"

Yin Qing was full of confusion.

They had thought Fairy Yi and her two companions could kill Shen Long, especially after using the Blood Soul Talisman. Shen Long should have been no match for them. Who would have thought that reality would defy their expectations?

If it weren’t for Shen Long, they might indeed have triumphed. With the help of the Thunderclap Clan and the Flying Feather Tribe, they had slain many Human Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

Even if Shen Long had arrived just ten breaths later, Yin Jie might have been able to kill Lin Xiang, and the Human Clan’s losses would have been even greater.

"I don’t know. We were too busy dealing with the Human Divinity Transformation Cultivators to spare any attention for Fairy Yi’s group fighting against Shen Long. And don’t even mention those below Divinity Transformation; with the Divine Soul class Spiritual Treasure in his possession, Shen Long can easily annihilate any cultivator below that level."

Yin Shi said with a frown.

It was impossible for someone to be on-site to observe the battle. As a result, they didn’t know how the three, including Fairy Yi, were killed. The unknown was the most terrifying part.

"Many of our comrades are severely injured, and so are many of the Human Divinity Transformation Cultivators. Don’t forget, Shen Long is also a fifth-tier Alchemist. He can concoct Healing Pills, which means the Human Cultivators will recover much faster than us. They haven’t attacked us yet, but when the Human Divinity Transformation Cultivators do come, can we withstand them? Should we just give up the Tianyuan Realm?"

Wu Zhu suggested.

"Give up the Tianyuan Realm? Where would our numerous Tianyuan Tribe members go? To the Hundred Spirits Realm?"

Yin Qing spoke with some dissatisfaction.

Even if the Flying Feather Tribe was willing, it would be incredibly difficult for the Tianyuan Tribe to relocate millions of its people to the Hundred Spirits Realm.

How would the Tianyuan Tribe obtain resources once in the Hundred Spirits Realm? Would the Flying Feather Tribe provide them for free? That was unlikely.

"The Hundred Spirits Realm doesn’t border the Tianyuan Realm. We can retreat to the Purple Pupil Realm first and destroy the spatial node leading from the Tianyuan Realm to the Purple Pupil Realm. That could block the Human Clan for some time."

Wu Zhu expressed his own opinion.

A centipede does not stop wriggling even after being cut in half. The Tianyuan Tribe had indeed been severely weakened, but with several Divinity Transformation Cultivators still at hand, their strength should not be underestimated.

No matter where the Tianyuan Tribe relocates, there might be no issues initially, but over time, conflicts over resources with the local forces were inevitable, and even a coup d’état could occur.

"I disagree. Even if the Tianyuan Tribe moves to the Purple Pupil Realm, will the Human Clan not come for us? This plan simply won’t work. If we leave the Tianyuan Realm to the Human Clan, they will be able to cultivate even more powerful figures, making them harder to deal with in the future."

Tuna opposed.

Even if the Human Clan did not attack the Purple Pupil Realm, over time, conflicts were bound to arise between the Tianyuan Tribe and the Purple Charm Clan.

"Enough, there’s no need to argue. The Tianyuan Realm is our homeland; we will not cede it to the Human Clan. We still have many Divinity Transformation Cultivators, and along with the fifth-tier Formation, fending off the Human Clan won’t be an issue. I will send someone to seek reinforcements, and with additional forces, we will make further plans!"

Yin Qing mediated the situation.

The Tianyuan Tribe had to maintain alliances with the Purple Charm Clan, Goldscale Clan, Flying Feather Tribe, and Thunderclap Clan. Without the support of these four tribes, the Tianyuan Tribe would surely be annihilated by the Human Clan.

"We have already notified our kin in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. They have said that if the Human Clan truly intends to annihilate our Tianyuan Tribe, they cannot stand idly by. It’s just that descending to The Lower Realm is troublesome, which is why they haven’t done so."

Yin Shi added.

If it weren’t for the significant power held by the Tianyuan Tribe in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, the four tribes might have already retreated.

Tuna, Tuo Shan, and the others nodded, then withdrew.

"If the kin from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot don’t descend, we truly won’t be able to hold off the Human Clan."

Yin Rui said with a furrowed brow, his face filled with concern.

Their three counterattacks had all ended in failure; they lacked the capability and courage to organize a fourth counteroffensive.

Once the Human Clan recovered and struck back, they really wouldn’t be able to withstand them.

"Send someone to other realms to exchange for powerful Grade 5 Talismans, those that target both the flesh and the Divine Soul. As long as the power of the Grade 5 Talismans is sufficient, even the Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures would be fine to trade. We simply cannot hold off the Human Clan without dealing with Shen Long,"

Yin Qing ordered.

With Yin Jie’s physical body destroyed, Yin Qing now called the shots in the Tianyuan Tribe.

"We have no other choice. When the time for our clan’s extinction comes, I hope our kinsmen in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot will truly descend to support us,"

Yin Shi sighed.

······

In the western part of the Hundred Spirits Realm, a vast and boundless plain, a group of cultivators from the Flying Feather Tribe were patrolling the perimeter.

Atop a towering hillock stood a hundred-meter-tall blue stone stele, inscribed with the words "Vajra Plain," sealing a Grade 5 Vajra Beetle within.

Deep within the plains, numerous space rifts of varying sizes could be seen; some were stationary, others mobile.

The sky was a murky grey, with massive black vortexes visible in some areas.

Two massive golden beetles lay atop a hillock, one of them covered in deep wounds, its aura feeble.

"Flying Feather Tribe, Thunderclap Clan! Once we break out from here, it will be the day of their annihilation,"

the deeply wounded Vajra Beetle spoke, its tone filled with rage.

······

Time passed, and thirty years went by.

Tianyuan Realm, Three Saints City.

The streets were bustling with people, among whom many disciples of the Spirit Control Sect could be seen.

Shen Long and Yuan Rui had successively advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage, significantly strengthening the Spirit Control Sect. The sect began to recruit and buy horses broadly, opening up the mountain gates to take in disciples.

In the Spirit Control Garden, Shen Long, Li Wenbin, and Zhao Sheng sat in a blue stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"Taoist Friend Shen, thank you very much. If not for your help, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly,"

Li Wenbin expressed his gratitude.

"It’s just a small effort, Taoist Friend Li is too kind,"

Shen Long replied modestly.

"By destroying Yin Jie’s physical body, even if he were to possess another and start over, it would take him over a hundred years to restore his cultivation. We must seize this opportunity to take down the Tianyuan Tribe before he regains his strength,"

Zhao Sheng shared his own opinion.

"Taoist Friend Lin has yet to leave his seclusion, wait for him······"

Shen Long hadn’t finished speaking when his expression suddenly changed, and he frowned, "I have some urgent matters to deal with. Please excuse me, my friends!"

After saying this, Shen Long turned into a beam of escape light and shot into the sky, leaving Three Saints City.

Li Wenbin and Zhao Sheng looked at each other in puzzlement, clueless as to why Shen Long had left so abruptly.

In a range of green mountains that stretched on and on, Shen Long stood in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

He released Thunder Roc, whose body was crackling with an increasing surge of lightning.

"Master, I am about to make a breakthrough to the 5th Grade,"

Thunder Roc declared.

No sooner had it spoken than a deafening thunderous roar resounded from above. The clear sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.

Shen Long hastily vacated the area, ascending to the peak of a high mountain to look towards the valley where Thunder Roc was.

A massive thundercloud floated above the valley. The thundercloud boiled and surged, expanding rapidly in size, pressing down with an oppressive darkness.

A terrifying thunderclap sounded, and a thick silver bolt of lightning slashed down, directly targeting Thunder Roc.

Thunder Roc flicked its wings gently, and countless golden lightning arcs surged out to meet it.

With a thunderous rumble, gold and silver lightning illuminated the scene.
