Chapter 937: Unable to Reverse the Trend of the Heavens
The city was filled with deathly silence, and the countless surviving monks seemed to be frozen at this moment. Only the bloody storm of the explosion was still falling in the city.
But under the influence of the blood cave, in just an instant, the exploding flesh and blood was absorbed cleanly, leaving no trace in the city.
After the eruption of the supporting city defense formation, the blood cave had dropped a lot. With this supplement, the blood water in the blood cave seemed to have risen a lot, even far exceeding the original water level.
"Win!"
I don't know when, with the sound of the first sound, the dead silence in the city broke instantly, cheers sounded one after another, and the joy of surviving the disaster soared into the sky.
Outside the city, although the demons are still endless, they are no longer intimidated by the Nascent Soul demons. With the city defense formation standing majestically, the already defeated Tianyuan City seems to be standing firmly in the two worlds again. dividing line.
Ten miles outside the city, countless demons were slaughtered and transported to the blood cave under the action of the moving formation, filling up the consumption of this city-protecting formation.
For a moment, although it was difficult to achieve a perfect cycle, it seemed that the blood color infecting this city protection formation was a little richer.
The chaotic order in the city was forcibly reshaped in just a short moment after the majestic city defense formation was erected.
The fleeing Tianyuan City immortal cultivators, whether they wanted to or not, had to step onto the front line of the battlefield again under this clear reality, relying on the city defense formation to resist the endless wave of demons outside the city.
Chu Mu stood in the air, but he didn't look happy after a great victory.
The mere number of Nascent Soul demons, even just the army of demons amassed outside the nine cities in this hilly area, can be said to be insignificant.
Although the situation in Tianyuan City is stable, this stability is obviously only temporary.
If the dozens of powerful Nascent Souls trapped in the demon world cannot return in time, no matter how stable Tianyuan City is, it will only be an isolated island.
Chu Mu turned to look at the embarrassed young man next to him. He was a disciple of the Changsheng Sect and had only broken through the pill to become a baby in recent years.
Just now Tianyuan City was destroyed and was besieged by several monsters. In just a few breaths, his life was in danger.
"Junior Brother Qiu, how are you injured?"
Qiu Chuning's face was heavy and his voice was low: "The injury is okay, it doesn't affect..."
After the words fell, Qiu Chuning hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "Dare you ask senior brother, the sect master and the others..."
"have no idea."
Chu Mu shook his head, and there seemed to be a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
The fourth-level holy soul has also been captured, and the East Lake spiritual vein has been destroyed by him.
This demon hunting operation, even if we still don’t know the results of other parties’ actions, this alone can be said to have achieved certain results.
but……
Chu Mu looked away and saw that the nine-city formation had been more or less improved by his hands. But after all, the nine-city formation in the hills was not what it used to be and was completely controlled by the Changsheng Sect.
In this border area where the remaining monks from the entire Tiannan Cultivation World gathered together, and the Tiannan Cultivation World seemed to be completely twisted into one, naturally there were factions within the Tiannan Cultivation World.
The same is naturally true for hilly nine cities.
He could change everything in Tianyuan City as he pleased, and even completely changed the nature of the city's protective formation, laying out the trump card of blood.
But what he can do in the other eight cities is extremely limited under the hearts of others in this sect.
At the moment, he really has no choice but to obey fate. He alone cannot save Jiucheng Tianqing.
The news that he trapped and killed these demons must have been known to other Nascent Soul demons outside the city.
If you attack rashly, you may fall into a trap.
"Let's make some arrangements. If the situation goes wrong, the main thing is to preserve our vitality."
Chu Mu sighed and did not want to say any more.
Qiu Chuning opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, the words remained unsaid, and he bowed his hands before retreating sadly.
Chu Mu turned his head and looked around. He saw that the hilly land was rolling and undulating. Among them, there were also a large number of Lingchengfang cities, which served as the support for the nine-city defense line in the hills.
But if the Nine Cities of the Hills cannot be defended, and the defense cannot be fully integrated in a short period of time.
The fall of this hilly land that stretches for most of the northern Xinjiang is probably inevitable.
And once the Nine Cities of the Hills fall, the Seven Cities of the Big Dipper and the Changsheng Mountain Gate located on the border will directly become the front line.
The entire Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World can be considered completely destroyed.
After all, Changsheng Mountain Gate is already on the northern border of Dachu. It is not far away from the Yanyun Mountains and is not far away from the realm of Yuanying. It can even be said to be very close.
The front line has no buffer and is surrounded by enemies on all sides...
This is like a secular dynasty change. The whole country has fallen, and everyone has been beaten to the capital. How long can it last?
It is destined to be destroyed!
Moreover, until now, no other Nascent Soul power has returned. If an ordinary Nascent Soul power is caught in the demon's dragnet and unable to escape for a while, it may be barely understandable.
But in Cangwu City, there are dozens of Nascent Soul powerful men, as well as the Master of the Changsheng Sect and the Great Elder of the Tianzhu Alliance, who are almost invincible in the same level of attack.
If you want to completely trap this power, unless the demon has already ambushed you in Cangwu City, otherwise, it is simply impossible.
But for now, that's what it is.
That also means...
The fifth level he expected may not be an expectation, but a fact...
Although the power of the fifth level is limited to the sacrificial land, if the Changsheng Sect Master is not aware of it and rushes in rashly, it will not be that the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark.
It is very likely that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and there is at least one fifth-level demon in the dark...
It seems that there is only one explanation for his delay in returning.
Chu Mu looked up at the sky, and the haze in his heart suddenly became thicker.
If it is really as he thought, the current fifth level is still limited to the sacrificial land.
But there is no doubt that as time goes by, the alienation of the demon world deepens, the quality of the world improves, and the blessing range of the fifth level will inevitably become larger and larger, until it is no longer limited to a certain place, or even no longer limited to the demon world...
Thinking of this, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a little urgent in his heart.
If this is true, he doesn't have much time left.
If he can't complete the opportunity fusion he imagined before all this comes, then even if he is invincible at the same level, what can he do?
The gap between the great realms is insurmountable, and death is inevitable!
The situation that followed was just as Chu Mu had expected. This hill defense line that had been held for many years was rushing towards an irreversible direction.
In just five days, three of the nine hill cities were completely broken. On the sixth day, three cities fell in just one day.
The situation was irreversible at this point.
After gathering a group of defeated cultivators, Tianyuan City, which was still firmly defended, retreated under Chu Mu's arrangement.
In such a situation, the so-called retreat was naturally a bloody journey.
Fortunately, the hilly area behind the nine hill cities still maintained a relatively complete order.
After many years of fighting, the entire Tiannan Xiuxian world had already made a plan for the fall of the nine hill cities.
Between the rolling hills, there were densely scattered Lingcheng fortresses. When the nine hill cities still existed, they were for logistics supply. When the nine hill cities fell, they naturally became the front line.
In order to cover the retreat after the nine cities in the hills were breached, the orders received by each spiritual city fortress were to defend to the death and buy time for this great retreat.
Even though people were panicking, the fully activated city defense formations and the intelligent order in the city also forced countless cultivators to resist the countless demons that broke into the hilly area...
In this hilly area, the persistence of each spiritual city fortress meant that a buffer was gained for this large-scale retreat.
The sun rose and set, day after day.
Just like the two previous defeats of Donghu and Cangwu, the lives of countless cultivators were buried in the demon wave with the fall of spiritual city fortresses.
However, this time, when the Tiannan Xiuxian World was almost completely lost, it was obvious that there would be no remaining forces from all parties to gather and replenish the living forces of the Tiannan Xiuxian World that were severely damaged by the defeat.
The death of each cultivator meant that the power of the Tiannan Xiuxian World was weakened by one point.
The fall of each spiritual city fortress means that the survival place of countless immortal cultivators in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World has become a little less.
Spring has gone and autumn has come. After half a year, under the desperate resistance of countless spiritual city fortresses in the hilly area, the momentum of this wave of demons was barely curbed.
This great defeat that lasted for half a year has gradually formed a new order...
