310: The vanguard of the evil race has achieved an initial victory.

The protective barrier of the Spirit Initiation Continent was like a giant, pearly-white dome, enveloping the world. Spiritual light flowed, continuously purifying the lingering evil Qi. On the training ground in front of the Seven Saints Hall, hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, clad in uniform spiritual armor and wielding Magical Artifacts, stood in neat formation, their Aura like a rainbow. The Seven of Lu Chen, wearing ancient battle armor inherited from the Seven Sages, stood on the high platform, receiving the attention of all the Cultivators.

"Fellow Cultivators!" Lu Chen's voice, amplified by the Power of the Origin Orbs, resounded throughout the training ground. "The Spirit-Corroding Evil Clan's desire to destroy us is unyielding. Now that the Seal is loosening, their army is about to invade. The Spirit Initiation Continent is our home, the land where we have lived for generations, and we must not allow the Evil Clan to trample it at will! Today, we gather here to fight for our home, to fight for all living beings! Even if our bodies are shattered, we will have no regrets!"

"Fight to protect our home!" Hundreds of thousands of Cultivators shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, their Battle Intent soaring into the sky.

Just then, the protective barrier in the sky suddenly trembled violently. A huge black crack appeared out of thin air, and dense evil Qi surged out like a tide from the crack, accompanied by ear-piercing roars. Countless Evil Clan minions rushed out of the crack. Leading them was an Evil General in black battle armor, three zhang tall, with a hideous face, holding a sinister long spear filled with evil Qi. He was the vanguard general of the Spirit-Corroding Evil Clan—the Corroding Spirit General.

"Ants of the Spirit Initiation Continent, are you ready to face destruction?" The Corroding Spirit General's voice was as harsh as a broken gong, filled with disdain and cruelty. "Although the Blood Sacrifice Array is broken, my master is about to break the Seal. Today, you shall become sacrifices for my master's awakening!"

"Utterly arrogant!" Zhu Rongyan roared in anger, the red runes within her body shining brightly. Her flame Origin Qi transformed into a massive flaming long whip, lashing out at the Corroding Spirit General.

The Corroding Spirit General sneered, swinging his evil Qi spear. A pitch-black spear light collided with the flaming long whip, creating a deafening boom. The flaming long whip was instantly corroded by the black Qi and dissipated into the air. "With just this much ability, you dare to be presumptuous in front of this general?" The Corroding Spirit General said disdainfully, waving his hand to signal the Evil Clan minions behind him to attack.

Countless Evil Servantss rushed towards the training ground like a tide. Their bodies were twisted, their faces hideous, and they held crude Demonic Weapons, exuding dense evil Qi. The Cultivators of the Spirit Initiation Continent were already prepared. Under the command of the various Family generals, they formed defensive formations and engaged in fierce battle with the Evil Clan minions.

For a time, Spiritual Qi and evil Qi clashed, and explosions, roars, and the clang of weapons intertwined, plunging the entire Spirit Initiation Continent into the flames of war. The Evil Clan minions were numerous and fearless. Even if they were killed, their corpses would turn into a wisp of evil Qi, merging into the surrounding black mist, strengthening the power of other Evil Clan members. Although the Cultivators of the Spirit Initiation Continent had a numerical advantage, under the frenzied assault of the Evil Clan, they gradually fell into a disadvantage. From time to time, Cultivators were corroded by evil Qi, becoming Evil Servantss and turning their weapons on their own people.

"This won't do. The Evil Clan is too numerous, and their evil Qi can nourish each other. A prolonged battle will be disadvantageous to us." Yu Lan frowned slightly, blue runes flashing as she quickly analyzed the battle situation. "We must first kill the Corroding Spirit General and disrupt the Evil Clan's formation to turn the tide of battle."

Lu Chen nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Good! The seven of us will join forces to kill the Corroding Spirit General!"

The seven people simultaneously activated the Power of the Origin Orbs, leaped into the sky, and sped towards the Corroding Spirit General. Seeing this, the Corroding Spirit General's eyes flashed with vigilance, but he still sneered: "You seven young lads, you think you can challenge this general? You're simply overestimating yourselves!"

"More talk is useless, prepare to die!" Lu Chen roared, the pearly-white runes in his palm shining brightly. The purifying power of the source pearl gathered into a spiritual light longsword, slashing towards the Corroding Spirit General.

The Corroding Spirit General swung his evil Qi spear. The pitch-black spear light collided with the spiritual light longsword, creating a violent roar. Lu Chen felt a powerful impact, his arm went numb, and he was sent flying several zhang away. The Corroding Spirit General's strength far surpassed that of the Corroding Spirit Demon General he had encountered before, having already reached the Middle Stage of the Spirit King Realm, a major Realm higher than Lu Chen and the others.

"Be careful! His evil Qi contains corrosive power and can erode Spiritual Qi!" Lu Chen reminded, circulating the Power of the Origin Orbs within his body, quickly recovering his damaged Spiritual Qi.

Yu Lan quickly chanted the Demon Suppressing Incantation from the secret record of the evil spirit devourer clan. Blue rune light formed a massive rune barrier, blocking in front of The seven people, isolating the erosion of evil Qi. "Let's use the Seven Saints Combined Strike Technique. Although his Realm is high, evil Qi fears our Origin Power!"

The seven people exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously. Following the method of the Seven Saints Combined Strike Technique, they gathered the Power of the Origin Orbs together. Lu Chen's pearly-white spiritual light, Yu Lan's blue runes, the Sea Cultivation Saintess's cyan water spirit, Ling Xi's purple array patterns, Bing Ningshuang's ice-blue cold Qi, Immortal of Luo Water's green vitality, and Zhu Rongyan's red flames—seven different colored spiritual lights intertwined, forming a seven-colored light pillar, containing world-destroying purifying power, which shot towards the Corroding Spirit General.

The Corroding Spirit General's face changed, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He could feel that the power contained in the seven-colored light pillar had a fatal restraint on him. He dared not be careless and fully activated the evil Qi within his body, forming a massive black shield in front of him.

"Boom!"

The seven-colored light pillar heavily struck the black shield, emitting a deafening roar. The black shield instantly became covered in cracks, and the evil Qi receded like a tide. The Corroding Spirit General was shaken back repeatedly, black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Impossible! How can you have such powerful strength?" The Corroding Spirit General's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Because we are the Reincarnation of the Seven Sages, the Guardians of the Spirit Initiation Continent!" Lu Chen roared, and The seven people once again activated the Power of the Origin Orbs. The seven-colored light pillar shone brighter, shooting towards the Corroding Spirit General again.

The Corroding Spirit General knew he couldn't resist and turned to flee, but he was firmly trapped by the confinement array Ling Xi had already set up. "Trying to run? Not so easy!" Ling Xi sneered, purple array patterns shining brightly, completely sealing off the Corroding Spirit General's escape route.

Bing Ningshuang took the opportunity to activate her cold Qi, ice-blue runes flashing. A biting cold instantly froze the Corroding Spirit General's limbs, rendering him immobile. "Ice Seal for a Thousand Miles!"

Zhu Rongyan's flaming long whip followed closely, wrapping around the Corroding Spirit General's body. The scorching flames burned his body, making him let out painful roars. "Flames Burn Evil!"

The Sea Cultivation Saintess's water-elemental Spiritual Qi transformed into streams of water arrows, accurately shooting towards the Corroding Spirit General's wounds, diluting the evil Qi within his body. Immortal of Luo Water, on the other hand, activated her plant-elemental Spiritual Qi, green runes flashing, forming a green barrier to prevent the Corroding Spirit General's evil Qi from spreading, while also replenishing the Spiritual Qi of The seven people.

Yu Lan continued to chant the Demon Suppressing Incantation, blue rune light continuously eroding the Corroding Spirit General's Divine Soul, making his consciousness gradually blur. Lu Chen, holding the spiritual light longsword, gathered all the Power of the Origin Orbs in his body and slashed towards the Corroding Spirit General's head.

"No—my master will not let you off!" The Corroding Spirit General let out a desperate roar. His head was severed by the spiritual light longsword, and his body transformed into a wisp of dense evil Qi, dissipating into the air.

With the death of the Corroding Spirit General, the black crack in the sky began to shrink, and the Evil Clan minions, having lost their commander, became chaotic. Seeing this, the Cultivators of the Spirit Initiation Continent were greatly encouraged and launched a fierce counterattack.

"Kill! Avenge our fallen comrades!"

The Cultivators charged down like fierce tigers, wielding Magical Artifacts and slaying the Evil Clan minions. The Seven of Lu Chen also joined the battle. The purifying power of the source pearl continuously purified the evil Qi and rescued the corroded Cultivators. Ling Xi's array patterns trapped a large number of Evil Servantss, Zhu Rongyan's flames burned the evil Qi, Bing Ningshuang's cold Qi froze the enemies, the Sea Cultivation Saintess's water spirit healed the wounded, Immortal of Luo Water's plant-elemental Spiritual Qi restored the Cultivators' stamina, Yu Lan's runes assisted in attacks, and Lu Chen personally eliminated the stronger Evil Clan leaders.

Under the leadership of The seven people, the Cultivators of the Spirit Initiation Continent fought with increasing vigor. The Evil Clan minions retreated steadily, their numbers dwindling. The black crack in the sky finally closed completely, and the remaining evil Qi was thoroughly purified by the protective barrier and the Power of the Origin Orbs of The seven people.

As the sun set, the flames of war gradually subsided. Corpses lay strewn across the training ground, including those of Evil Clan minions and the remains of Spirit Initiation Continent Cultivators. The surviving Cultivators looked at the bodies on the ground, their faces showing fatigue but also relief. They had won, successfully repelling the Evil Clan's vanguard and holding the first line of defense of the Spirit Initiation Continent.

The Seven of Lu Chen stood on the high platform, looking at the scene before them, a mix of emotions in their hearts. This victory had not come easily, requiring immense sacrifice, but it also showed them the courage and determination of the Spirit Initiation Continent's Cultivators.

"We succeeded!" Ling Xi's face showed a joyful smile, but tears shimmered in her eyes.

Lu Chen nodded, his voice slightly hoarse: "We successfully repelled the Evil Clan vanguard, but this is just the beginning. The Corroding Spirit Master said before his death that the Corroding Spirit Master is about to break the Seal. We must prepare as quickly as possible to face greater challenges."

Just then, a Cultivator quickly ran up to the high platform, holding a black evil core in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Lu Chen: "Leader, this was found in the Corroding Spirit General's corpse. It seems to contain a special evil Qi."

Lu Chen took the evil core. The pearly-white runes in his palm felt slightly warm, and he could feel the pure evil Qi contained within the evil core, while also detecting a faint spatial fluctuation. "This evil core contains the Aura of a 'Reverse Teleportation Talisman'." Yu Lan stepped forward, carefully observing the evil core. "The Reverse Teleportation Talisman is a special rune of the Spirit-Corroding Evil Clan, capable of locating teleportation coordinates. It seems this was the Corroding Spirit General's token for locating the Blood Sacrifice Array on Xuansha Star."

"With this Reverse Teleportation Talisman, we can precisely locate Xuansha Star. It will be much easier if we need to go there again in the future," Lu Chen said, putting away the evil core. "At the same time, the evil Qi in this evil core can also provide us with clues to research the Evil Clan and find their weaknesses."

Headmaster Xuanjizi and the Clan Chief of the Seven Great Families walked onto the high platform, their faces filled with relief: "You seven are truly the good fortune of the Spirit Initiation Continent! Successfully repelling the Evil Clan vanguard not only protected our home but also boosted the morale of all Cultivators."

"This is inseparable from everyone's efforts and sacrifices," Lu Chen said, his eyes filled with respect. "We will study the evil core as quickly as possible to find a way to deal with the Corroding Spirit Master, and at the same time strengthen our defenses to prepare for the upcoming great battle."

The surviving Cultivators gathered around, bowing to The Seven of Lu Chen and shouting in unison: "The Seven Sages have returned! Spirit Initiation will surely win!"

Their voices shook the heavens, echoing for a long time above the Spirit Initiation Continent. The Seven of Lu Chen looked at the Cultivators before them, a strong sense of mission rising in their hearts. They knew that they carried the hope of the entire continent and must grow quickly to completely eliminate the Spirit-Corroding Evil Clan and restore peace to the Spirit Initiation Continent.

As night deepened, the Cultivators began to clear the battlefield, treat the wounded, and bury the dead. The lights of the Seven Saints Hall burned brightly all night. The Seven of Lu Chen, along with Headmaster Xuanjizi and the Clan Chief of the Seven Great Families, sat together, studying the Corroding Spirit General's evil core and discussing subsequent defense plans. The evil core not only contained the Reverse Teleportation Talisman but also a portion of the Corroding Spirit Master's Aura, giving them a clearer understanding of the impending ultimate battle.

The protective barrier of the Spirit Initiation Continent still emitted a pearly-white light, guarding this war-torn land. But everyone knew that this was only a temporary calm. The Corroding Spirit Master's breaking of the Seal had entered a countdown, and a greater storm was approaching. The Seven of Lu Chen gripped the source pearls in their hands, their eyes shining with firm resolve. They were ready, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would fight side by side, protect the Spirit Initiation Continent, protect each other, and fulfill the Legacy left by the Seven Sages. This battle between good and evil had just entered its white-hot stage, and the final victory would surely belong to justice, to the Guardians of the Spirit Initiation Continent.
