Cultivation Begins From The Desert

【Qianyang Orb】As Zhou Yang's first fairy artifact, it can be said to have accompanied him all his life.

He is able to achieve what he is today, and this thing is a great credit.

Even after he arrived in the Realm of Immortals, this thing has saved his life many times.

But after he succeeded in refining the gods and returning to the void, this seventh-level fairy weapon refined by [Tianyang Daoist] has only a commemorative value left for him.

But of course Zhou Yang didn't want such a treasure that had made many military exploits to just lie in the treasure room and eat ashes.

And with the essence of [Qianyang Orb], just placing it like this is indeed violent.

This [Qianyang Orb], before it was refined into an immortal artifact, was a fire-attributed rare object that contained the original power of the true immortal world, and it was very difficult to find.

Even with Zhou Yang's current status, it still depends on luck if he wants to obtain such a rare and rare item.

Therefore, after seeking the opinion of [Li Yang Zhenjun], Zhou Yang began to modify this immortal artifact a long time ago.

Because of his tens of thousands of years of cultivation and refinement, although [Qianyang Orb] is not compatible with him to the degree of the natal magic weapon, it has also established a deep bond with him.

Therefore, it has strong compatibility with Zhou Yang's "Qianyang Dao" power, and can withstand the transformation of this Dao power.

After many years of transformation, this [Qianyang Orb] has become the carrier of Zhou Yang's Dao power, and an extremely rich Dao power has been accumulated inside.

This power of the Great Dao is combined with the original power contained in the [Qianyang Orb], and after Zhou Yang's special conditioning and transformation, once it is detonated, its power will be unpredictable to Zhou Yang.

All he knew was that it would definitely be much stronger than his full blow.

But once this power is detonated, [Qianyang Orb] will be completely shattered and dissipated, and it will never be restored.

So this thing has been kept by Zhou Yang as a trump card at the bottom of the box, and will not be used easily.

But now the situation is so critical that it is difficult to solve it without using this thing.

Zhou Yang has always been a decisive person, so of course he will not hesitate or make up his mind at this time.

He waved his hand, and the [Qianyang Orb] in front of him was like a golden meteor bombarding towards the Chaoyun Demon Sage.

And don't look at the loudness of Zhuoyun Demon Saint's mouth, in fact, he also attaches great importance to Zhou Yang's methods.

At this time, seeing [Qianyang Orb] hitting him, and sensing the majestic power contained in it, he hastily repeated the same trick again, and his body turned into a turbid mist.

Because of the unique roots, the Zhuoyun Demon Sage may not be the strongest existence in the initial stage of returning to the void, but it is definitely one of the most difficult existences to kill.

His demon body turned into turbid mist with this move, and the demon soul scattered in the sky and earth. Unless someone can purify all the turbid mist at once, it would be difficult to kill him completely.

This is the real capital of his arrogant self-confidence.

Think about it, after he turns into a turbid fog, the area of ​​the turbid fog can be as wide as one hundred thousand miles!

With such a vast area, coupled with the fact that the turbid mist itself is extremely difficult to purify and destroy, it is not easy to kill it at once!

But this time, he seemed to have miscalculated.

Boom!

There was only a terrifying explosion that shook half of the Xuanming Demon Realm, and an extremely strong red-golden light instantly filled the gray sky of the Real Demon Realm, completely covering up the magic moon brilliance of the True Demon Realm.

The terrifying energy fluctuations instantly attracted the attention of all the high-level beings of both immortals and demons in the Xuanming Demon Territory. They all stopped fighting for a while, and turned their attention to the sky illuminated by the red-golden brilliance.

"It's the power of Marshal Smash Demon!"

"What happened over there? How did Marshal Smash Demon use such a powerful force? How did he do it?"

"He's such a marshal, you really shouldn't underestimate him!"

On various battlefields, the marshals of the Xianting Doubu were shocked after they recognized the master who created all this.

This is the second time that Zhou Yang has shocked them collectively since Zhou Yang was awarded the position of Marshal with his early Void Returning cultivation base.

And the time between the two is not far apart.

Seeing the earth-shattering power fluctuations at this time, many marshals asked themselves, can they make such a powerful blow?

Look at the scene over there.

When the power of [Qianyang Orb] was detonated by Zhou Yang, the first thought in the heart of Demon Saint Zhuoyun was that he was careless.

He was too careless and underestimated Zhou Yang's power.

Then the second thought is to find a way to remedy it.

But remediation is easier said than done!

At that time, the red golden light swept across the sky and the earth, and all the turbid fog and demonic energy were burned and purified in an instant.

In other words, at that moment, all the turbid mist formed by his demon body was actually burned in the red-golden radiance.

Under normal circumstances, this means that the Chaoyun Demon Sage will completely fall and die.

But he is a demon saint after all, and the life-saving means he masters are far beyond that of ordinary demons.

Therefore, in an instant, before his demon soul was burned, the Demon Sage Zhuoyun activated a backhand to avoid catastrophe that he had arranged a long time ago.

Zhou Yang only felt a flash of spatial fluctuation, and the demon soul of the Zhuoyun Demon Sage disappeared in his own induction.

Vaguely, he felt that the other party seemed to have disappeared in the Real Demon Realm.

"Not in the real devil world, did you escape to a lower realm?"

A strange look flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Yang seemed to have some kind of guess in his heart.

Using the lower realm as a backhand to avoid robbery is a common method among the existences in the void return period, and it is also a very effective method.

Because there are so many lower realms, as long as the enemy doesn't know which lower realm you went to, you don't have to be afraid of being caught.

At the same time, because the power of returning to the void cannot exist in the lower realm, there is no need to fear that your life will be threatened if you hide there to avoid robbery.

For example, Taoist Lan's body, wasn't it just to deal with the catastrophe, so he left behind in the lower realm?

The Demon Sage Zhuoyun chose to flee to the lower realms at this time, obviously to prevent Zhou Yang from taking advantage of the victory and pursuing him to his death.

However, if the demon soul flees to the lower realm, he must cut himself first, and it's hard to say when he will be able to recover.

All in all, the price paid by Demon Saint Zhuoyun this time is not insignificant, it can be said that half of his life was wasted!

And Zhou Yang also used the half life of Zhuoyun Demon Sage to forcefully declare his existence, and severely frightened other Demon Sages.

For a while, no demon saint dared to come up to stop him, allowing him to quickly rush to Zhou Guangzheng and others who were fleeing, and took all the remaining immortal guards and soldiers to the base camp of the human expeditionary army.

By the way, he also killed dozens of seventh-level true demons and countless sixth-level demons.

It was not until he led people into the base camp of the expeditionary army that the demon saints reluctantly accepted this fact.

The always arrogant Zhuoyun Demon Sage was really defeated by a true immortal of the human race in the same realm, and even the so-called immortal demon body was burned, and only one demon soul escaped.

In this way, counting the Ice Lane Demon Saint whose demon body was also destroyed by Zhou Yang before, and the eleven Demon Saints in the Xuanming Demon Realm, there are only nine remaining who can participate in the same level of battle.

Coincidentally, the expeditionary army of the Doubu, including [True Lord Xunyang], happened to be nine True Lords of the Void Return Stage.

That is to say, Zhou Yang evened the number of eighth-order existences of both parties to a level with his own strength.

This dazzling feat is no one else in this battle.

I don't know if it was stimulated by Zhou Yang. After he returned to the base camp, the other marshals also burst into battle and stopped hiding.

Soon several demon saints were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield.

When the first battle ended, all four branches of the Human Race Expeditionary Army were wiped out by the demon army, and all the remaining immortal guards and immortal soldiers were transferred to the base camp for defense.

And the remaining allied forces of the demons also took advantage of the situation to kill outside the human base camp and encircled the base camp.

It's just because of the repeated battles that the demons' coalition forces are also in poor condition at this time, temporarily losing the ability to continue the high-intensity attack.

Seeing this, all the demon saints can only let the demon army encircle the base camp of the human expeditionary army, and then wait for the time for the general attack.

"The casualties have been counted. In this battle, we have lost two immortal generals, forty-three immortal guards, 3,178 immortal soldiers, and countless other wounded."

"In terms of gains, our side severely injured the three demon saints in this battle, basically making them lose their ability to fight again. We killed five demon generals, two hundred and twenty-six real demons, and nearly seven demons of the sixth rank. Ten thousand, countless wounded."

"Judging from the casualties of both the enemy and our side, our side has won this battle, and the demons killed and injured are several times our own losses!"

In the base camp of the Human Race Expeditionary Army, [True Monarch Xunyang] sat high above him, and was holding a battle review meeting with the eight marshals of the Doubu.

As if there was some kind of tacit understanding, he, the leader of the Dou Bu, never made a move during this battle, but just sat in the camp, watched the four directions, and counted the battle situation of each army.

Because he, the head of the fighting department, personally counted the battle situation, no one had any doubts about the statistical results.

At the same time, everyone knew that [True Lord Xunyang] hadn't finished speaking, so at this time, no one expressed an opinion based on it, and they were all waiting for his remaining words.

Sure enough, [True Lord Xunyang] soon became serious, and continued to say with a serious face:

"Judging from the ratio of war casualties, our side is indeed a big victory."

"But all the marshals also know that the basis of this victory is based on the destruction of the four branch camps and the loss of countless treasures refined by the Ministry of Fire."

"After this big victory, the Demon Race Allied Forces will definitely learn from the previous lessons, and will no longer give us the opportunity to repeat the previous gains, and we can no longer throw away the last camp like before!"

This is a foreseeable situation. The Eight Marshals all nodded slightly, approving of his words.

Then a marshal with the title of "Dispute Rebellion" said: "The situation that your lord said is all true, but from the following point of view, if the demons' coalition forces are only as strong as they are now, if they want to break through the last camp I’m afraid it’s not very possible to do it.”

After finishing speaking, he said confidently: "We still have dozens of immortal generals, hundreds of immortal guards, and thousands of immortal soldiers, relying on the protection of the numerous immortal formations in the camp, just relying on the true strength of the demon alliance forces outside." The number of demons, it is only possible to break through the camp after one or two hundred people fall, and their advantage in numbers will completely disappear by then!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the marshal titled "Suppressing Demons" said quietly: "Of course it is impossible for the allied forces of the demons to only have the strength they have now. Now they are besieging and not attacking. I am afraid that apart from needing to rest, they are also waiting for reinforcements from outside the territory." arrival!"

This "Marshal of Suppressing Demons" is exactly the [Zhenjun Yuyang] from Zhenyangmen.

Several marshals expressed their opinions and expressed their views one after another.

Generally speaking, everyone has the same opinion, that is, the demon coalition forces will never be able to defeat the human expeditionary army with their current strength, and they will definitely wait for the arrival of foreign reinforcements before launching a general attack.

[True Lord Xunyang] did not participate in the discussion, but just watched the marshals express their opinions.

After all the marshals had finished expressing their opinions, he suddenly turned his eyes, looked at Zhou Yang and asked, "Marshal Smash the Devil, why don't you speak?"

Seeing him directly calling Zhou Yang by name, the other marshals also turned their eyes to Zhou Yang, their eyes were a little complicated and difficult to understand.

In this battle, Zhou Yang alone severely injured the two demon saints, making them lose their ability to continue to participate in this war. None of them can compare to such achievements.

This makes them, who are still higher than Zhou Yang in terms of cultivation, how can they not feel complicated.

Facing the gazes of all the marshals, Zhou Yang was slightly taken aback for a moment, then pondered for a while, then bowed his hands to [True Lord Xunyang] and said: "Since my lord has asked me, I will take the liberty of it."

"From the point of view, it doesn't matter whether we can defeat the allied forces of the demons outside. The important thing is to know that our goal of this expedition to the real demon world is not important, otherwise even if we can wipe out the demons outside So what about the allied forces of the Demon Race? Could it be possible to destroy the entire Demon Race in the Real Demon Realm?"

When Zhou Yang said this, he didn't care about the strange looks of the other marshals, and directly bowed to 【Xunyang Zhenjun】 again: "I've finished my words, I'm so presumptuous, please forgive me. "

[True Lord Xunyang] Seeing this, he turned his eyes to the other marshals noncommittally, and asked slowly: "What about the marshals? What do you think of the words of Marshal Smash Demon?"

"My lord, I think that the words of Marshal Smash the Demons are the ones that point to the core. This is indeed what I have always wanted to know."

The "Marshal of Xuanling Evil Breaking", who had cooperated with Zhou Yang before, quickly spoke in agreement with Zhou Yang's words.

"I also want to know what the goal of our expedition to the Real Demon Realm is!"

"If your lord knows, please let me know, so that we can face the enemy with peace of mind!"

Several other marshals spoke out one after another, all in support of Zhou Yang's speech.

It's not that they have any friendship with Zhou Yang, but that Zhou Yang's words really speak their minds.

Now that Zhou Yang has taken the lead and said what they are not good at saying, of course they will not let go of this opportunity.

Seeing that all the marshals agreed with Zhou Yang's words, facing the earnest gazes of all the marshals, 【True Lord Xunyang】 also became silent.

After being silent for nearly half an hour, 【Xunyang Zhenjun】raised his hand and gently rubbed his forehead, and said slowly: "As for the specific goal of this expedition to the real devil world, I don't know yet, I only know We must kill twice as many enemies as the immortal guards and soldiers we brought, and we must kill five eighth-level demon saints!"

What?

Hearing the words of 【True Lord Xunyang】, all the marshals were shocked and shocked.

"My lord, are you sure you're not joking? Killing five eighth-level demon saints, how is this possible!"

"That's right, the devil saint is not a real devil, how can he be so easy to kill?"

"Unless you do it yourself, my lord, it is absolutely impossible for me to kill the five demon saints alone!"

The eight marshals were all shocked, they all looked at [True Lord Xunyang] with disbelief, stunned by what he said.

They are all Void Returning True Monarchs, and no one knows better than them how difficult it is to completely kill a Void Returning True Monarch.

Unless there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, it is basically impossible to completely kill a Void Returning True Monarch.

For example, Zhou Yang destroyed the demon bodies of the two demon saints twice, but failed to leave their demon souls.

Generally, unless it is the kind of demon saint who has been promoted for less than 10,000 years, or as long as it is a demon saint who has lived for more than 100,000 years, which one does not have several life-saving methods.

Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be impossible to completely kill the five demon saints?

So even Zhou Yang looked shocked at this time, feeling extremely absurd.

"Why should I deceive you all? To be honest, I still don't understand the meaning of this goal, let alone how to achieve this goal!"

[True Lord Xunyang] shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not joking.

Then he looked at the crowd and said: "But marshals, don't be too discouraged. Since Daozu has defined this goal for this expedition to the true demon, it means that we are capable of accomplishing this goal, but now I am still not comfortable. Just know!"

"As long as I stick to it and complete the number of true demons set by the goal first, the next five demon saints' goals should have a turning point."

After hearing what he said, "Marshal Xuanling Evil Breaking" immediately frowned and said: "But even the number of true demons set by the target is very large. I just brought five hundred immortal guards here!"

"That's right, the number of true demons in the entire Xuanming Demon Realm is not even a thousand. It's not easy to kill so many true demons!"

"Marshal Dangkou" also nodded, frowning deeply.

"It's because it's not easy, that it seems that we and the expeditionary army are so powerful that we can live up to Daozu's value!"

[True Lord Xunyang] looked at the crowd solemnly, and said in a strong tone: "What's more, how can the Xianting Doubu be so easy to advance? These immortal guards took a shortcut to come in, and naturally they have to go through enough tests to finally stay. In Xianting!"

He said everything to such an extent that the marshals suddenly couldn't say anything more.

Zhou Yangdang even said: "If this is the case, we must wait for reinforcements from other demon realms to arrive before we can have enough real demons for us to complete the task!"

"It is indeed the case, so do you have any good suggestions for the marshals?"

[True Lord Xunyang] nodded slightly, and continued to ask everyone for their opinions.

"My lord, I think that if we have to wait for reinforcements from the demons outside the territory to complete the mission, why not take the initiative to attack and fight the allied forces of the demons outside, so at least the number of enemies we face now will be greatly reduced. "

"No, no, if we go out for a decisive battle now, even if we win, our side will suffer a huge loss. Then what will we do to resist the reinforcements from the demons from outside the territory?"

"I also feel that I can't just give up my defensive advantage and go to a decisive battle with the demons."

Several marshals held their own opinions and argued endlessly. They all had their own opinions on whether to go out of the city and fight the demons.

At this moment, Zhou Yang suddenly said: "In fact, it is not impossible to go out of the city and fight the demons. As long as we arrange it well, we should be able to maximize our goals."

"Oh, what is the opinion of Marshal Smash Demon?"

[True Lord Xunyang] His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhou Yang and asked for details.

Zhou Yang didn't give a shit, and immediately replied: "It's not a good opinion, but I just think that we may take advantage of the arrogant pride of the demons and agree with them to fight to the death. Fight to the death one by one!"

Hearing his words, the eyes of the marshals who were in charge of the battle lit up immediately, and someone clapped their hands and applauded: "This method is good! With the arrogance of the demons, if we make this suggestion, they will probably agree! "

"This method can indeed be tried!"

[True Monarch Xunyang] couldn't help nodding his head in agreement, thinking he could give it a try.

So, soon under the assignment of [True Monarch Xunyang], [True Monarch Lingxu] left the camp as a representative of the human race to engage in a battle with the demon saints.

Everything is as expected, facing this kind of fair fight, there is almost no possibility for the demon saints to refuse.

They even took the initiative to increase the number of people to two hundred.

Naturally, there is no reason why the True Immortal World should not do this.

Soon, both parties selected candidates for the duel.

For the sake of "fairness", the cultivation realms of both parties in the duel are at the same level. Of course, they do not reject those with low cultivation levels and actively challenge those with high cultivation bases.

Moreover, the eighth-level existences of both sides offered generous rewards to motivate the victors.

Zhou Guangzheng and Liehu Zhenren also signed up for the duel.

Zhou Yang originally wanted to stop them, but when he thought that the two of them were not children anymore, and their own strength and means were good, he gave up his idea.

The venue for the duel is just outside the camp, under the joint supervision of the eighth-level beings of both parties. Any true immortal or true demon who violates the duel rules will be directly obliterated.

In order not to delay time, a total of three battlefields were opened up to be fought by participants from both sides.

On the three battlefields, no matter whether they are in the real fairy world or the real devil world, they are all very high-ranking real immortals and real demons. At this time, they are like slaves in the arena, fighting to the death for others Ornamental.

The victor will get glory and riches, the loser will pay with his life!

The desperate duel without any retreat was extremely tragic.

There are even many who fought to the end and died together.

And as the duels progressed, the faces of the demon saints who watched the battle became more and more bad, and those demons who had been watching the battle and shouting for cheers could no longer shout a word.

Because the difference in the number of duels won and lost is really too big.

On average, for every ten duels, the human side can win more than seven times.

This is undoubtedly very different from what they expected in advance.

You must know that this is the real demon world, and the demons naturally occupy the advantage of the right time and place!

With such a big advantage, there is still such a disparity in victory and defeat. How can the always arrogant demon saints and demons accept it.

Before that, they only thought that the Human Race Expeditionary Army could show such a strong combat power in the previous battles, it was because of well-trained secret methods of battle formation, and because of those powerful magical weapons and secret treasures.

That's why what they agreed to before was so happy.

But now the bloody facts let them know that they were wrong, and it was a big mistake.

"These despicable human immortals, they must have premeditated, we were fooled!"

A demon saint roared with an ugly face, his eyes were full of shame and anger.

And the Demon Sage shouted loudly: "Let the fighting stop, we can't let more Demons die under this conspiracy!"

"But if we stop fighting now, doesn't it mean that we are afraid of those human immortals and cannot afford to lose?"

Some demon saints also expressed their worries, but they still couldn't bear it.

"It's true that we can't stop fighting. It's not just for the sake of face, but because the enemy's strength is so strong. Even if we stop fighting now, we still have to meet what we should encounter later. This is unavoidable!"

Another demon saint spoke in a deep voice, expressing his view that the war cannot be stopped.

Generally speaking, all the demon saints are still unwilling to lose face and stop the appointment halfway.

In the blink of an eye, five months flew by, and the two hundred engagements finally came to an end.

The final result was that forty-eight true immortals fell on the human side, while one hundred and fifty-two true demons fell on the demon side, and the battle loss ratio reached a ratio of one to three.

This result made the Mozu side dead silent, and the audience was silent.

But there was no cheering from the human race.

Because forty-eight true immortals of the transcending tribulation period fell at one time, this has not happened in the world of true immortals for a long time.

Thinking of how hard it was for him to go through hardships to become a fairy, but in the end, he might fall to his opponent at any time on the battlefield of the real devil world.

Under such circumstances, how could those immortal guards cheer.

And those immortal soldiers who have not yet attained Taoism have no confidence to cheer.

"Hey, I don't know how many of the 500 immortal guards and 10,000 immortal soldiers we brought over will be able to return to the real immortal world alive!"

A marshal looked at the camp that was quite empty, and sighed sadly.

In fact, among these immortal guards and immortal soldiers, there are more or less descendants of the marshals' forces, but he is the only one with his own son like Zhou Yang.

Now seeing the juniors fall and die one by one in front of their eyes, how can these marshals feel better in their hearts.

But this is war!

There will be winners in wars, but not everyone will be winners.

Only the person who will be successful and his bones will be exhausted and survive to the end can become a person of glory.

Those who died on the battlefield were at most just remembered after the fact.

And apart from all the True Monarchs in the Returning Void Stage, it's really hard to say who can return to the True Immortal Realm alive.

Even now, all the True Monarchs in the Void Return Stage are not so confident about whether they can return to the True Immortal Realm alive.

"Thanks to Marshal Smash Demon's advice, our side has almost completed half of our goal. Next, all Marshals should recharge their batteries and prepare for the final decisive battle!"

[True Monarch Xunyang] glanced at the marshals, and did not express any opinion on the casualties of the war, but only issued an order to prepare for the war.

So in the following time, the immortal generals, immortal guards, and immortal soldiers in the base camp of the expeditionary army worked harder.

Everyone knows that when the final decisive battle comes, whether they can survive to the end depends not only on their own strength, but also on the cooperation of their comrades.

Almost half a year later, the extraterrestrial Demon Race reinforcements finally arrived on the battlefield.

And at this time, [True Monarch Xunyang] also received another battle report from the Yaozu Expeditionary Army.

"The monster clan has already started the final battle first. According to the information they sent, the number of demon saints besieging them has reached 15, and there are more than 1,300 seventh-level true demons. Most of them are not worth it. Stop this wave of attack!"

In the meeting hall, [True Lord Xunyang] summoned the eight marshals under his command here, and announced in a deep voice the battle report of the Yaozu Expeditionary Army that he had just received.

His tone was extremely heavy, and his face was also very dignified.

After listening to his words, the faces of the Eight Marshals were all sinking like water.

"It seems that by now, the demons have fully reacted. If you count the demons we eliminated before, the number of demons gathered outside us is no better than that of the demons!"

[True Lord Lingxu] Expressed his opinion with a face as heavy as water, with a very heavy tone.

Facing the siege of enemies several times larger than oneself, even the most optimistic person will not be optimistic at this time.

In particular, their target mission has not been completed, and there is no retreat option at this time.

"Then let's fight! It's nothing more than a desperate fight!"

Zhou Yang said in a calm tone, but at the moment his mentality is extremely calm.

As far as he is concerned, the current situation is bad, but it is by no means the worst situation he has encountered.

At least he is very confident that he will return to the Realm of Immortals alive.

As for the safety of his son Zhou Guangzheng, he also made special arrangements during the past six months.

If it really came to the most dangerous moment, even if he couldn't withdraw directly to the Realm of Immortals, he still had a way to get Zhou Guangzheng to leave the battlefield and leave the Realm of True Demons safely.

So now he doesn't have much to worry about, and he can go into battle lightly.

"Marshal Smash Demon is right, the matter has come to this point, the only way is to fight to the death!"

[True Lord Xunyang] said in a strong tone, then glanced at the marshals, and said in a deep voice: "If this battle is won, everyone is a hero of the human race. Daozu will never treat you badly. Fanxiu will never forget everyone!"

"Then let's fight!"

"Let's fight!"

"Fight to the end!"

The marshals spoke solemnly and quickly reached a consensus.

A few days later, the remaining allied forces of the Demon Race from the Xuanming Demon Realm joined forces with reinforcements from outside the region, and launched a fierce attack on the Human Race Expeditionary Army from all directions, officially starting the decisive battle.
