292: Chapter 292 Reinforcements

"It's... it's a Cross-Realm Gate! It's the reinforcements from Tian Xuan Mountain! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

A well-traveled veteran, upon clearly seeing that familiar Sect emblem atop the gate, was instantly moved to tears!

His voice, like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly ignited the entire Meteor City!

"Reinforcements! Our reinforcements are here!"

"We're saved! We're saved!"

The despair suppressed for seven days and seven nights was, at this moment, completely transformed into world-shaking ecstasy and cheering!

Countless Cultivators embraced each other and wept!

They had finally waited for that light of dawn to pierce through the darkness!

Behind that massive bronze gate, three powerful figures radiating the terrifying pressure of the Golden Core Middle Stage were the first to step through space!

Behind them were two well-equipped, murderous main combat legions!

There were tens of thousands of human Cultivators with powerful auras and high Battle Intent!

Their appearance caused the already precarious morale of the Human Race to instantly boil to its peak!

"Vile beasts! Die!"

The leading Golden Core Middle Stage Elder, upon seeing the tragic state within the city and the overbearing Marquis Fen Tian, instantly flew into a rage!

Without any nonsense, he struck directly!

"Tian Xuan · Astral Seal!"

A massive handprint composed of pure astral power that blotted out the sky descended from the heavens, carrying a supreme might that suppressed all things as it slammed ruthlessly toward Marquis Fen Tian!

The other two Golden Core Middle Stage Elders also simultaneously unleashed their strongest natal Spells!

How terrifying was the combined strike of three Golden Core Middle Stage experts?!

Marquis Fen Tian, who was preparing to unleash a final blow, saw his expression change drastically!

He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within those three attacks, enough to pose a fatal threat to him!

He glanced at the three Golden Core Middle Stage Elders watching him like tigers eyeing their prey.

He glanced again at the tens of thousands of human troops continuously pouring out from the gate.

He then felt his own Qi, which had been mostly consumed during the continuous bloody battles.

For the first time, the intent to retreat sprouted in his heart.

He knew that if he continued to fight, he would undoubtedly be defeated!

He might even perish here!

"Withdraw!"

He made a prompt decision and let out an unwilling roar!

"All forces, retreat!"

With one order, the Myriad Race Allied Forces, who had been on the verge of victory, instantly fled in panic toward the west like a receding tide, leaving behind a massive number of corpses!

The crisis of Meteor City was completely resolved at this moment!

Humanity had achieved the most critical and glorious victory in this Meteor Realm defense war!

...

After the battle.

The Golden Core Middle Stage Elder who had struck to repel Marquis Fen Tian, after consoling the defenders of Meteor City, walked straight to Gao Feng.

He looked the young man up and down carefully—the man was covered in blood but still stood straight—and his eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and shock.

"You are Gao Feng?"

"Junior Gao Feng greets Senior."

"Good, very good, excellent!"

The Elder said 'good' three times in a row. He patted Gao Feng heavily on the shoulder and praised him sincerely: "With a cultivation of Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage, you stubbornly held off a Demonic Flame Clan commander of the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer who had hidden his strength for nearly an hour! Kid, you've created a miracle!"

"You are the savior of our entire Meteor Realm Human Race!"

This evaluation could not be considered low!

"Senior overpraises me; Junior does not deserve it."

"You do deserve it!" The Elder waved his hand, then his expression turned solemn as he announced loudly: "On behalf of the Tian Xuan Mountain Sect, I officially grant you the title of 'Meteor Star General'!"

As he spoke, he took out a specially made token shimmering with brilliant starlight and a Storage Pouch filled with top-tier resources, handing them solemnly to Gao Feng.

"Inside, there are enough cultivation resources for you to reach Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, ten top-tier meteorite essence crystals, and an introductory Golden Core Stage Cultivation Technique that leads directly to the Great Dao!"

"I hope you will not fail the expectations of the Sect and all your fellow Meteor Realm compatriots!"

...

Meteor City entered a period of full recuperation once again.

With the massive resources brought by the Tian Xuan Mountain reinforcements, the previous resource shortage crisis was completely alleviated.

The entire city radiated an unprecedented, vibrant vitality.

Chu Lan and Lin Yue led the Formation Masters, using those top-tier Materials to fully repair and upgrade Meteor City's defensive Formations once more.

Tian Xin led the Talisman Cultivators, working day and night to replenish the Talisman defensive lines that had been depleted in the bloody battle.

Su Ning laid down a more perfect and concealed spatial early warning and teleportation Formation.

Luo Li completely integrated the melody Formations with the city's guardian Formation.

Yao Guang led all the healing Cultivators, working without rest to treat the heavily injured Cultivators who survived the bloody battle.

Meanwhile, Gao Feng entered the Myriad Spirit Space and began to Cultivate with a calm mind.

He wanted to completely stabilize his newly broken-through Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage cultivation.

At the same time, he used the top-tier meteorite essence crystals gifted by the reinforcements to continuously nourish his Physical Body.

Under the nourishment of these massive resources, his bones and muscles became increasingly powerful, even enough to withstand the attacks of a Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Early Stage Cultivator!

And his portable space, after his Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage and the Fusion of those massive resources, underwent another earth-shaking upgrade!

The area of the spirit fields expanded directly to five hundred mu! Enough to plant those top-grade spirit plants that only existed in legends!

The Myriad Spirit Spring even unlocked a brand-new 'Meteor Fusion' function!

The myriad spirit liquid it produced, after fusing with Meteor Star Power, turned into a brand-new spirit liquid shimmering with bits of starlight! Not only could it assist in the cultivation of Qi, but it could also simultaneously provide miraculous effects in nourishing the Physical Body!

The 'Multi-Dimensional Amplification' function also improved again!

It increased directly from forty percent to fifty percent!

The combat power of the entire team, after this upgrade, achieved another qualitative leap!

The victory of Meteor City was like a shot of adrenaline injected into the hearts of every surviving human Cultivator.

With the help of the massive resources brought by the Tian Xuan Mountain reinforcements, this war-torn city recovered its vitality at an astonishing speed.

The broken city walls were repaired until they were as solid as gold.

The depleted treasury became full once again.

Every surviving warrior seized this hard-won time of peace to frantically improve their strength.

Half a month later, the situation in the entire Meteor City finally stabilized completely.

Inside the discussion hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The three Golden Core Middle Stage Elders of the reinforcements, Elder Ling Zhan, and a group of high-level officials from Meteor City gathered together.

"Fellow Daoist Ling Zhan, you all have performed a great service in this great victory of Meteor City." The leading reinforcement Elder stroked his long beard and praised sincerely, "Especially that child Gao Feng; he is truly a heavenly talent, a blessing to our Human Race."

"Fellow Daoist overpraises us." Although Elder Ling Zhan was humble in words, the pride on his face could not be concealed.

"Now that the main forces of the Myriad Race Allied Forces have been defeated and that fellow Marquis Fen Tian is also heavily injured, it's unlikely they can organize an effective counterattack in a short time." Another Elder mused, "In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to take the initiative and drive them completely out of the Meteor Realm!"

This proposal immediately received everyone's approval.

After a detailed discussion, a two-pronged combat plan was quickly finalized.

One route would be led by the three Golden Core Elders of the reinforcements, leading most of the reinforcement Cultivators to continue guarding Meteor City. They would further reinforce the city's defenses and turn this city into an impregnable war fortress to prevent the Myriad Race Allied Forces from returning.

The other route would be personally led by Elder Ling Zhan, whose injuries had basically healed, with the Boundary Breaking Legion as the main force, advancing westward!

Their goal was not just to recover those lost western lands that had been occupied by the Myriad Races for decades.

More importantly, they were going to seek a mysterious place that only existed in ancient legends—the Meteorite Core Hall!

According to legend, that hall was the location of the energy Origin core of the entire Meteor Realm.

Inside the hall was hidden a supreme treasure called the 'meteor core crystal'!

Contained within it was the purest Origin Meteor Star Power in the world! Not only could it help Foundation Establishment Cultivators break through that solid barrier leading to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer without any Bottleneck, but it was also a supreme divine object used by Golden Core Stage Cultivators to solidify their Foundation and comprehend the Great Dao!

Even more importantly, legend had it that the hall also recorded powerful Formations and supreme battle methods used by human ancestors in ancient times to fight against the Myriad Races!

If they could obtain them, it would play a vital role in subsequently driving out the Myriad Races completely and reclaiming the entire Meteor Realm!

...

Three days later.

A westward expedition army composed of thousands of elite Cultivators set out grandly from Meteor City, advancing westward with unstoppable momentum!

Elder Ling Zhan divided this army into three teams.

Lei Lie led one team, responsible for clearing out the scattered remnants of the Myriad Races in the lost western lands and reclaiming those small resource outposts that had been occupied.

Lin Yue led another team, responsible for setting up temporary defensive positions behind the main army to ensure that the army's long supply line would not be harassed.

And serving as the vanguard core was naturally the legendary team led by Gao Feng, which had created countless miracles!

Their task was to take a step ahead and go deep into the core area of the west to scout for the entrance to the legendary Meteorite Core Hall.

At the same time, they were to pin down and kill any high-level combatants of the Myriad Race remnants that might exist!

At this moment, after half a month of quiet cultivation, Gao Feng's Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage cultivation had completely stabilized.

Under the continuous nourishment of those top-tier meteorite essence crystals and the new myriad spirit liquid fused with Meteor Star Power, his bones and muscles became increasingly powerful, filled with explosive strength!
