I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1312: Chapter 722: Equally Matched_2 Chapter 1312: Chapter 722: Equally Matched_2 Before, to cultivate this maid, Chen Mobai had also let her take charge of the formation, letting her experience the power of the Daoist Soldiers.

Unexpectedly, what once were selfish acts now proved to be greatly useful.

After the rotation of the Foundation Establishment practitioners in charge of the formation, the overall power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers diminished significantly.

This was not only because Liu Wenbo and the others could not compare to Mu Yuan and his group, but also because the Qi Practitioners, who formed the foundation of the formation, had already consumed much of their spiritual power.

Now they were all holding Spirit Stones while supplying energy to the Five Elements Dao Soldiers!

Chen Mobai dispersed his Extreme Sun Slash into nine clusters of Golden Flame, and then, with nine Flame Sun Slashes extending a hundred meters in cooperation with the orange-red streaks of light, he cut through the heavens and earth for over a dozen rounds, carving out time for the rotation of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

At the same time, he also carved out a path of survival for those Loose Cultivators who fell from the Flying Boat, who, seizing the opportunity as Chen Mobai depleted his spiritual power in a great slaughter, rushed towards the two Golden Core Cultivators just like Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai.

However, even then, only around twenty or thirty people managed to escape a disaster.

After a burst of killing, Chen Mobai felt the emptiness in his Dantian Qi Sea and once again opened a Small Void to replenish his spiritual power.

At this time, the reformed Five Elements Dao Soldiers appeared around him, like five protector Heavenly Gods, keeping all the Five Elements Sect disciples and others on the Flying Boat safeguarded at the very center under his command.

“Sect Master Yuan…”

Chen Mobai urged again, and Yuan Zhen now also saw the situation.

Thinking that if Ye Qing with his cultivation level could not slay the Devil Cultivator, it would be useless for them to stay, she clenched her teeth and nodded.

“Let’s retreat first, and find a safe place to wait for our Senior Brother!”

The two objectives for this time were accomplished; the Green Mirage Bottle had been empowered and was ready to be taken back for the Profound Heaven True Monarch to refine the Mirage Dragon Essence and turn it into a true Fifth-Level Magical Treasure.

That was also Yuan Zhen’s mission.

Seeing her nod, Chen Mobai also breathed a sigh of relief. He had already made up his mind that if Yuan Zhen did not agree, he would have to lead the Five Elements Sect disciples to withdraw on his own.

After all, the loss of these Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivating Disciples here would be a bone-deep wound for the Five Elements Sect.

It would probably take ten years to recover from such a blow.

Under the command of Chen Mobai to retreat, the slightly smaller Daoist Soldiers began to move back beyond the original fog.

Naturally, this led to another fierce struggle.

But under Chen Mobai’s watch, the number of casualties was minimal.

Before leaving, Chen Mobai did not forget to take the corpses of the two Third-Order Demon Beasts with him. Although there were many valuable parts from the bodies of other Rank-2 Demonic Beasts, amidst such intense circumstances, these had to be abandoned.

Not knowing how many more Demonic Beasts he had slain, Chen Mobai felt the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea drop once again by half, even his Divine Sense was starting to feel fatigued.

It was fortunate that he had come. If it were any other Golden Core Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect, they would likely be a corpse by now if they didn’t flee.

Finally, they broke through the expanse originally covered by the fog.

The Demonic Beasts, who had been furiously swarming, seemed to have an instinct in their blood that prevented them from crossing that boundary—even though all the Mirage Fog had been taken away by Yuan Zhen, they still respected it.

But Chen Mobai and the others couldn’t relax just yet.

The Mountain Giant Ape Clan groups guarding the outside were roaring as they charged over.

After Chen Mobai killed two of their leaders, most had scattered, but about twenty Mountain Giant Apes, seemingly of direct lineage, sought revenge.

A flash of orange brilliance passed, and Chen Mobai sent them straight to the Underworld as well.

Yuan Zhen suggested resting here to wait for Ye Qing to come out.

But Chen Mobai felt that without the Mirage Fog, those hesitant Demonic Beasts inside might overcome their instincts and pour out.

So, he led the Five Elements Sect disciples to retreat several dozen miles further.

This place was the territory of the Mountain Giant Apes, housing a Rank-3 Spirit Vein.

As soon as the Flying Boat appeared, the Mountain Giant Apes began to scatter in all directions.

Chen Mobai chose not to give chase; he commanded the utterly exhausted Five Elements Sect disciples, with their spiritual power almost drained, to disembark from the Flying Boat and rest upon the Spirit Vein.

Most cultivators, once they landed, didn’t care about waste; they took out their Spirit Stones and began holding them to restore their Spiritual Power.

Some with deeper foundations managed to hold on and were assigned by Chen Mobai to Chun Yusu, instructing the latter to set up a Rank-3 Mysterious Five Elements Formation brought with them.

Yuan Zhen stood at the highest peak of the mountain, which perfectly overlooked the original location of the Mirage Fog.

As Chen Mobai anticipated, although they acted on instinct, there were still some spiritually aware demonic beasts cautiously stepping out of the bounds that had imprisoned them for life.

One paw stepped out, and after no mishaps, half, and finally their entire bodies, charged out.

After the first demonic beast emerged, it was quickly followed by a second and a third…

In the end, the demonic beasts originally bound by the Mirage Fog began to flood out in a great expanse.

However, Chen Mobai and his group had already strategically retreated, and without their leaders, many of the beasts scattered, with quite a few engaging in mutual slaughter and even large-scale battles between different clans.

But there were also many demonic beasts running in their direction.

It was unclear whether they knew their location or if it was just blind luck.

Facing this, Chen Mobai didn’t bother anymore.

The Five Elements Sect disciples below were able to handle it.

“Sect Master Chen, I can take care of things here. Could I ask you to go and check on my senior brother?” Yuan Zhen suddenly asked, and Chen Mobai turned his head in surprise to meet her gaze.

Her eyes used to look down on him.

Why was she so polite now?

It was somewhat unfamiliar.

“Sure,” Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly.

Mainly, he was curious about Ye Qing’s strength and wanted to see for himself just what the capabilities of the top Golden Core Cultivator in the Tianhe Realm were.

He relayed a message to Liu Wenbo, then threw a Sword Box down to his eldest disciple from the top of the mountain.

After leaving behind the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, Chen Mobai piloted the “Red Misty Cloud Silk” toward the distant colossal dragon-serpent phantom and the clear and cold Sword Light that illuminated the sky.

However, as he was about to reach the battlefield of Ye Qing and the Devil Cultivator, he saw that clear Sword Light in the sky suddenly burst forth with light, and in the distant starry sky, a series of dazzling stars began to twinkle.

The starlight fell like wheels, directly caught by a clear water-like Flying Sword, turning into a brilliant flash of light that split the nearly godlike, coiling dragon-serpent above the mountain head in two from head to tail.

The remaining momentum of the light didn’t stop there; it fell upon the top of a figure shrouded in a black robe on the mountain peak.

This must have been the Devil Cultivator. After his Heavenly Demon Avatar was slain, he produced a multicolored scale, seemingly attempting to block Ye Qing’s sword strike.

Yet as the Flying Sword passed by, it seemed to become a phantom sword, directly piercing the multicolored scale and decapitating the man in the black robe.

After slaying the enemy, the energy still lingering on the Flying Sword finally dissipated, splitting the whole mountain on which the Devil Cultivator stood into a massive fissure, as if cleaving the mountain in two.

Seeing this sword strike, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Even from a great distance, he could feel a chilling horror rising from the depths of his heart as if facing this sword, any Defensive Magic Weapon would be useless, and one would have to rely on one’s own flesh and Spiritual Power to resist!

If he were to face it head-on, could his Longevity Dao Body withstand it?

For the first time, Chen Mobai encountered a Golden Core Cultivator with whom he was not certain of victory.

He briefly simulated a confrontation between himself and Ye Qing, feeling that as long as he didn’t face him head-on and deployed the Underworld Array, he could still avoid that sword.

Arriving here, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but marvel at Ye Qing’s strength.

This was the Taoist Child of the Eastern Earth Holy Land, the top Golden Core in the Tianhe Realm!

Truly formidable!

To think he, a disciple of the Immortal Gate with Qualification of Deification, might be evenly matched.
