115: Close combat, the first stop of the transformation

“The Northern Wasteland has become lively.”

“You can say that again. It’s been years since we’ve seen such a grand spectacle.”

“That Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan is an Immortal Reincarnate, capable of slaying a Returning Void Realm Cultivator with a single sword strike. The Anti-Demon Alliance truly dares to confront him, aren’t they afraid of being completely annihilated by this Immortal if they make a mistake?”

“Heh, he’s merely an Immortal Reincarnate, not a True Immortal after all. Even his power has limits. I heard that after his last sword strike that slew Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan of the Kunwu Sect, he exhausted his Primordial Spirit and Tai Xu Spiritual Power and fell into a deep slumber. With only the threat of a single strike, why would the Anti-Demon Alliance be afraid?”

In fact,

Was the Anti-Demon Alliance afraid?

They were truly afraid.

Five hundred li north of the Chen Family.

On the Peak of a continuous mountain range, after all the Disciples of the Blood Demon Sect and Chen Xuan’s group converged,

They also set up a defensive interception formation.

When the Anti-Demon Alliance arrived,

Chen Xuan flew into the air alone, facing the nearly hundred thousand strong army formed by the combined forces of the five Returning Void Realm powers.

The more than ten Returning Void Realm Cultivators of the Anti-Demon Alliance looked at each other in dismay upon seeing this scene.

That Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan, who slew a Returning Void Realm Cultivator with one sword and was suspected to be an Immortal Reincarnate?

What did he mean by this?

Could he possibly annihilate their hundred thousand strong army with a single sword strike?

“Who will go and meet him?”

After Jun Tianlin of the Dao One Sect spoke, all the Returning Void Realm Cultivators present looked at each other and then remained silent.

No one wanted to be the first to step forward.

After all, the one who went first would very likely follow in the footsteps of Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan of the Kunwu Sect.

Be slain and have his Dao extinguished.

Pointlessly ruining his own Dao and benefiting others.

Seeing that no one dared to go, a meaningful smile appeared on Jun Tianlin’s lips.

This scene was already within his expectations.

That Chen Family Ancestor Chen Xuan was only at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation, so there was actually no need to send Returning Void Realm Cultivators to fight him.

Just a Late Stage or Peak Soul Transformation Cultivator would be enough to give him a hard time.

Even if it was a trade-off,

It would definitely be the Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators from the Anti-Demon Alliance who would go.

“Kong Jing!”

When Jun Tianlin called his name, a person immediately stepped out from behind him and saluted him respectfully.

“Disciple is here!”

“Go, meet that Immortal in front and see if he is a True Immortal or a false Immortal.”

Staring at Chen Xuan, who was blocking the way, Jun Tianlin gave the order expressionlessly.

“Disciple obeys!”

Did Kong Jing want to fight?

He certainly didn’t.

All the Returning Void Realm Cultivators in front of him were as silent as cicadas in winter, scared to death. Wasn’t he afraid?

After thousands of years of cultivation, he had finally reached the Peak of Soul Transformation.

He was only one step away from entering the higher Returning Void Realm.

Adding twenty-five thousand years to his lifespan.

Returning Void Realm Cultivators have a lifespan of thirty thousand years, which definitely provides ample time for Cultivators to pursue the higher Body Integration Realm.

But if he died in battle,

There would be nothing left to look forward to.

Everything would be gone.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he dared not disobey the command of his Revered Master and Grand Elder of the Dao One Sect, Jun Tianlin.

No matter what abilities Chen Xuan of the Chen Family on the opposite side possessed,

He had to brace himself and go forward to fight at this moment.

As for why Jun Tianlin sent his own Disciple to fight personally,

It was because among the Anti-Demon Alliance, he was subtly the leader. To set a good example as a leader, he couldn’t possibly let the other four forces in the Alliance send their Disciples, could he?

Another aspect was that he was willing to send his own Disciple as a trade-off.

It was also sending a signal to everyone.

That is, they must go all out next, without holding back in the slightest, and they must, today,

Completely annihilate the Blood Demon Sect and the Chen Family.

From top to bottom, leaving no one alive.

Kong Jing flew directly in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan looked at him, his gaze immediately becoming serious, his brows furrowed.

Among the Anti-Demon Alliance, there were still intelligent people.

They actually thought of sending a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator to deal with him.

They weren’t deterred by his little trick.

Actually, it was still because Chen Xuan’s cultivation Realm was too low, only at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation.

If he were at the Peak of Soul Transformation, he would definitely be able to achieve the desired effect.

Standing alone, he would make the Anti-Demon Alliance unable to advance or retreat.

Alas.

After all, the time left for him to cultivate peacefully was too short.

The situation was unpredictable.

No one expected that due to the sudden appearance of the Void Heaven Palace, everything would spiral out of control in a direction that was impossible to grasp.

Raging.

Chen Xuan circulated the Spiritual Power within his body.

Vast and pure Tai Xu Spiritual Power instantly broke through the current Realm barrier.

Middle Stage of Soul Transformation.

After breaking through the Soul Transformation Realm, he had cultivated intermittently for a good while, and today he finally broke through.

Middle Stage of Soul Transformation?

Chen Xuan broke through during the battle.

This caused the people of the Blood Demon Sect and the Chen Family behind him, as well as the Anti-Demon Alliance members in front, to be momentarily stunned.

Immediately, smiles appeared on the faces of Jun Tianlin and others.

“What if he’s at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation? If he doesn’t unleash that sword strike, he definitely won’t be able to contend with a Peak Soul Transformation Cultivator.”

A difference of two minor Realms.

And it was a difference of two minor Realms within the Fifth Realm, the Soul Transformation Realm.

Even a Prodigy would find it difficult to overcome.

Moreover, wasn’t Kong Jing also a Prodigy?

Jun Tianlin couldn’t help but show a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Chen Xuan.

His Personal Disciple was not to be trifled with.

Throughout his cultivation journey, he also possessed the Prodigy-like ability to fight across Realms.

Now, with an advantage of two minor Realms, he was fighting from a higher position.

There should be no surprises.

Now they just needed to watch the battle calmly, waiting for Chen Xuan to unleash that sword strike again and fall into a deep slumber.

Afterward, the Anti-Demon Alliance’s army would have no more qualms, annihilating the Blood Demon Sect, flattening the Chen Family, and dividing the spoils.

It was a foregone conclusion, a natural progression of events.

A High Grade Spirit Treasure Rank Flying Sword appeared beside Chen Xuan.

Its aura also caused everyone present to feel a shock in their hearts.

This Flying Sword was a spoils of war that Chen Xuan had obtained after slaying Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan of the Kunwu Sect.

Before the battle, he had also spent time refining it properly.

The Tai Xu Spiritual Power generated by cultivating the Supreme Purity Spirit Art was incredibly powerful, and the refining process went smoothly.

Activating a High Grade Spirit Treasure generally requires a high consumption of Spiritual Power, but Chen Xuan’s Tai Xu Spiritual Power was not only vast but also of high quality, so a Magical Artifact of this Rank was just right.

If it were on a normal Cultivator,

A Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator would be impressive just to be able to wield a Treasure Artifact, while Returning Void Realm Cultivators could normally wield Spirit Treasure-level Magical Artifacts.

The Magical Artifact Ranks in the Tianxuan World are divided into: Magical Artifact, Spiritual Artifact, Treasure Artifact, Spirit Treasure, Sacred Treasure, Immortal Treasure (Immortal Artifact).

Kong Jing also directly summoned his own Magical Artifact Flying Sword.

However, its quality was only of the High Grade Treasure Artifact level.

Just purchasing this High Grade Treasure Artifact level Flying Sword had cost him years of accumulated wealth.

But what he didn’t expect was that

The other party actually summoned a High Grade Spirit Treasure.

An Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator wielding a Spirit Treasure?

Could he even activate it?

Even if he could barely activate and wield it, how many strikes could he unleash?

Chen Xuan indicated, you’ll know if you try.

Facing Chen Xuan, Kong Jing naturally dared not show the slightest contempt or laxity. As an Immortal Reincarnate, he might possess extraordinary abilities beyond ordinary comprehension, so he had to go all out.

The Flying Sword beside him suddenly shot out.

Carrying overwhelming power, it swiftly flew towards Chen Xuan.

Upon seeing Kong Jing attack so resolutely without a word, Chen Xuan immediately mobilized the Tai Xu Spiritual Power within his body and injected it into the Flying Sword beside him, controlling it to meet the attack.

At the same time, he immediately took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

The Spiritual Power in his Dantian, which had been depleted by more than half, instantly recovered at a visible speed.

Excessive Spiritual Power consumption?

No problem.

He had High Grade Spirit Pills.

Plenty to go around!
