Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

As Li Youlin sacrificed himself, transforming into a ball of blue flame that clung to the strongest earth demon beast, Liu Zhongzhu was being assailed by the aftershocks of dozens of Annihilation Arrows.

The so-called Annihilation Arrows were actually refined by Taoist Qi practitioners using the spiritual power of heaven and earth, containing formations within, separated by jade, and wrapped in turbid iron. Each arrow, upon exploding, inflicted great damage on demon cultivators and demon beasts who cultivated using turbid energy.

Therefore, although the archers had good aim, and all thirty arrows were unleashed upon the massive bodies of the three earth demon beasts, the vast spiritual energy waves released by the Annihilation Arrows still affected Liu Zhongzhu without hindrance.

He exerted all his magical power, wielding his spear like the wind, barely managing to block the first volley. In accordance with his military order, the second, third, and fourth waves of arrows followed closely, giving the three Saint Core realm earth demon beasts no chance to breathe. They were riddled with holes by the powerful and naturally opposing spiritual energy, on the verge of death, and appeared to be losing their life force.

Liu Zhongzhu, positioned in the middle of the three beasts, also suffered heavy injuries, left with only half a breath. Fortunately, the archers in the rear saw the situation quickly, and upon seeing the demise of the three giant beasts, hurriedly stopped firing, allowing Liu Zhongzhu to preserve his life.

His face was pale, but his eyes were full of anger. Just as he was about to muster his magical power and rebuke the archers for continuing to fire, he suddenly saw a drastic change in the situation. The enemy's strongest leader had been executed, and the low-level demon beasts were terrified. He immediately changed the military order that was about to come out of his mouth to: "Everyone, kill the beasts with all your might, don't let a single one escape!"

Encouraged by the sacrifice of the Dharma Transmitter, the members of the Candle God Sect, upon hearing this order, immediately erupted like boiling water in a pot, unleashing several times their strength, and charging forward bravely. They abandoned their military formations, abandoned their defenses, and abandoned their coordination, only raising a spear or a knife, charging towards the most densely packed area of earth demon beasts, and stabbing, hacking, and slashing frantically. The archers in the rear also threw down their hard bows, and either held short blades, or picked up the knives and spears on the ground, joining the surging wave of the assault team.

The remaining four late-stage Saint Core realm earth demon beasts on the stone platform, one died from the Fire Crow Taoist's Myriad Beast True Fire, and three were blasted into fragments by the Golden Dharma King, whose face was red, whether from shame or anger, or both.

After blasting the earth demon beast in front of Chang Guangming with a single slash, the Golden Dharma King glared fiercely at this sanctimonious fellow who was not putting in the effort, wishing he could give him a slash as well.

The three Saint Core realm earth demon beasts overseeing the battle on the south side of the pit immediately burrowed into the ground and ran away. The other low-level earth demon beasts followed suit, all burrowing into the ground. The frantically killing Candle God Sect members used all their means, trying to hold back one if they could, and kill one if they could.

They also took out the earth-drilling dragons they carried with them and threw them into the soil.

This was a common item used to guard against surprise attacks by earth demon beasts, shaped like a fire arrow in secular armies, only half a foot long, simple to make, and with very limited effectiveness. It was generally buried under houses, and if an earth demon beast burrowed from below, if the movement was slightly large, it might trigger the earth-drilling dragon, which would rush down a certain distance and explode. Unless it hit a vital point, the earth-drilling dragon was difficult to injure an earth demon beast, but it could effectively warn, allowing the sect members on the ground to prepare in advance.

At this time, the shallow soil in the hundred-zhang area was full of beasts, and every earth-drilling dragon thrown out could injure an earth demon beast.

The more than ten thousand sect members killed wildly and fiercely, tearing all the moving horned, long-bodied monsters that could be seen on the ground into pieces. After sweeping the ground clean, they began to dig three zhang deep, dragging out the injured, the unconscious, and even the dead earth demon beasts, and chopping them to pieces.

Zhang Yuanjing received a message from the Fire Crow Taoist, and had already collected the Nether Soul Grass, stopped the Earth Prison Technique, and returned the Primal Stone to his dantian.

After nearly a day of casting spells, he had exhausted seventy to eighty percent of his magical power, so he grabbed two middle-grade spirit stones in his hand and slowly recovered his magical power.

The hearty battle continued until dusk before it ended.

At nightfall, Chai Laoqi and Zhao Shijie arrived with twenty thousand sect members, carrying a large amount of supplies. The scene before them left them in deep shock.

The sect members spontaneously organized themselves, going up to help clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and transport the corpses.

The Golden Dharma King held the unconscious Liu Zhongzhu, coldly looking at Chai Laoqi, who had a guilty look on his face, and Zhao Shijie, who had a ashamed look on his face, without saying a word.

Zhao Shijie stayed for a long while, seeing that it was not a good situation, he walked into the pit to check the results of the battle. Chai Laoqi shamelessly approached the Golden Dharma King, waiting for him to speak.

Chang Guangming looked at the messy battlefield for a while, then looked at the Golden Dharma King with an unkind expression, and occasionally glanced at the Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, his eyes constantly turning.

Only the other two Dharma Transmitters were the most calm. They sat cross-legged on the edge of the stone platform, closed their eyes and meditated, chanting a sacrificial scripture, not knowing whether they were thanking the Candle God or commemorating Li Youlin and the sacrificed sect members.

The Fire Crow Taoist stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the densely packed sect members below, his heart full of shock at the overall strength of the Candle God Sect.

He was very fortunate that the step of using the Nether Soul Grass to lure out and greatly eliminate the earth demon beasts was the right one. After this battle, the two of them could be considered to have successfully broken the situation and could temporarily ensure their safety. As for the future, they would probably only know how to deal with it when they reached the main altar of the Candle God Sect.

At this time, the Golden Dharma King walked over holding Liu Zhongzhu, staring blankly at the Fire Crow Taoist, and suddenly knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said: "I implore the Divine Grace Envoy to heal him, the Northern Three Altars are willing to be the vanguard for the Divine Grace Envoy!"

The Fire Crow Taoist was stunned, and quickly reached out to help him up: "Dharma King Jin doesn't need to be like this, this Divine Envoy will naturally not stand idly by and watch him die!"

Chai Laoqi was taken aback and stepped forward two steps, saying: "Dharma King, you are..."

"Shut up, kneel down for me!" The Golden Dharma King turned his head and glared at him, shouting in a low voice.

"Dharma King, don't be impulsive, this matter..."

Chai Laoqi wanted to persuade him, but the Golden Dharma King's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his face was full of anger, obviously he was really angry. Chai Laoqi had been with him for many years, how could he not know his temperament, so he sighed secretly, knelt on one knee, and cupped his hands to the Fire Crow Taoist and said: "I beg the Divine Grace Envoy to ask the Candle God to cast divine magic again to save Altar Master Liu!"

The meaning of these words was very clear, it was to let the Fire Crow Taoist use the "divine magic" that he had used to lure the earth demon beasts to heal Liu Zhongzhu.

A hesitant expression appeared on the Fire Crow Taoist's face. Just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words, he saw Zhao Shijie leading hundreds of sect members kneeling on one knee in the pit, shouting: "I beg the Divine Grace Envoy to heal Altar Master Liu!"

His expression couldn't help but stagnate, and he secretly thought it was not good, this matter was probably not good. Although the Nether Soul Grass was good for luring earth demon beasts, it was hard to say whether it could heal demon cultivators. If he healed him, it would naturally be a great success. If he killed him, he might lose all his previous efforts, which would be very detrimental to their subsequent actions.

Of course, he could refuse, just find a reason and dismiss them with the excuse that the Candle God could not be asked to act frequently, however, this could only fool the ordinary sect members, and it would be useless to the Golden Dharma King who really decided the ownership of the Northern Three Altars.

"Don't agree. I know you have a high-quality demonic plant, but that must be kept to heal Lord Candle Dragon! Otherwise, if you go to the main altar, you will surely have no way to survive!" Chang Guangming's warning was transmitted into his ears.

These words immediately aroused the Fire Crow Taoist's disgust. At the beginning, when they first entered the Youming Valley altar, this person led them to pretend to be Divine Grace Envoys, and also taught him to answer that they were here to heal Lord Candle Dragon. At that time, he didn't know that they had a high-quality demonic plant. Obviously, this person had ulterior motives and was just using them to achieve some purpose, and didn't care about their lives at all.

While he was hesitating, more sect members knelt down and shouted, and finally, nearly forty thousand people knelt on the land within a few miles, shouting: "I beg the Divine Grace Envoy to heal Altar Master Liu!"

The earth-shattering sound contained an extremely powerful will, which was the foundation of the Candle God Sect, the power of the sect members. Even Saint Core realm demon cultivators, or Core Formation realm cultivators, would not dare to directly disobey this force.

The Fire Crow Taoist hardened his heart and shouted: "This Divine Envoy agrees, get up!"

Then he lowered his head and said to the Golden Dharma King: "Dharma King, please find a quiet place so that I and Vice Envoy Zhang can heal Altar Master Liu!"

"Hmph, Taoist friend is so self-righteous, you will have a lot of suffering in the future!" Chang Guangming's voice was a little exasperated, but his expression did not change at all, and his lips did not move, he must have practiced a unique technique of ventriloquism.

The Golden Dharma King did not say anything with a sullen face, and Chai Laoqi behind him hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Dharma King, it is indeed inconvenient to treat him in public, let's find a house as soon as possible!"

The Golden Dharma King also realized that he couldn't force it too much, otherwise something would really go wrong, and it would harm this wise and brave confidant general under his command. So he nodded and said loudly: "Thank you for the Divine Grace Envoy's pity! Long live the Candle God!"

Tens of thousands of sect members also repeated: "Thank you for the Divine Grace Envoy's pity! Long live the Candle God!"

Five miles away on the north side of the battlefield, there was a small courtyard built against the mountain, which was the residence of a Protector Vajra. Zhao Shijie picked it out as a temporary place to heal Liu Zhongzhu.

The Golden Dharma King drove everyone else out, leaving only the "Fire Envoy" and "Vice Envoy Zhang", as well as Liu Zhongzhu, whose face was as white as paper and whose breath was weak.

On the way here, the Fire Crow Taoist had told Zhang Yuanjing to take a leaf of Nether Soul Grass and give it to Liu Zhongzhu to take. Whether it would work or not depended on this move. If one leaf didn't work, add another one, as long as he didn't die, there was hope.

Therefore, when the Golden Dharma King stared straight at Zhang Yuanjing, Zhang Yuanjing didn't say a word, and took out a half-foot-long emerald green round leaf from his storage bag. Green juice flowed from the broken part, emitting a viscous and fishy smell.

The Golden Dharma King's eyes lit up immediately, and he took a few sniffs, and said: "What a strong smell of Three Lives Water! This thing will definitely save him! Thank you two Divine Grace Envoys!"

Three Lives Water? The Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing were stunned at the same time, and thought of the Yellow Spring Water in the Nether Soil. The two looked at each other and did not speak.

The Golden Dharma King couldn't wait to pry open Liu Zhongzhu's mouth and stuff the Nether Soul Grass leaf into it.

As the green juice flowed into Liu Zhongzhu's mouth and entered his stomach along the esophagus, his vitality immediately recovered a bit. Then, his mouth chewed, and he swallowed the entire leaf into his stomach. Before long, his inner breath moved slowly, his meridians gradually became stronger, and his face gradually regained its color.

The Golden Dharma King waved his fist and walked back and forth excitedly. Then he clasped his fists with both hands to the Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, and said decisively: "Since the two envoys have saved Liu, Old Jin will keep his word, the Northern Three Altars will follow the lead of the two envoys, and will never have any second thoughts!"
