Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 993 - 43: Harassment
Chapter 993: Chapter 43: Harassment
Many worlds and planets were invaded.
The entire Conquest Sect was drawn into the war.
In the second year of the invasion, the Central Star announced that the first year of the invasion would be called the War Era, Year One.
At this moment, it was the second year of the War Era.
The war with the Devouring Sect was growing increasingly intense.
Luohe Star Domain, the front line of the war.
The Conquest Sect and Devouring Sect fought fiercely for control over various worlds in the Luohe Star Domain, making it a highly contested star domain.
The force invading this planet was a top-tier faction of the Devouring Sect, a branch of the Parasitic Race.
The Parasitic Race is exceedingly strange, where allies get replaced unknowingly, posing great danger.
The danger level of the war could be ranked in the top ten.
One must guard against enemies and also one’s own teammates.
Since the war began, countless cultivators have been killed by “teammates.”
This was mostly due to the Parasitic Race invading this star domain being primarily from the Tenth Realm and lower; otherwise, the threat would have been even greater.
Wang Sheng brought people from the Source Star, and Zhu Xiao voluntarily chose to come here to join the war.
“This truly is a star war. The Tenth Realm is but a drop in the ocean, unable to change anything. Yet, the gains are significant…”
Zhu Xiao’s spirit seemed somewhat depleted, but the gains were also substantial.
Her choice to come here was not random.
One of the best ways to handle the Parasitic Race is through body cultivators.
The Parasitic Race’s method of invasion essentially takes over the physical body.
The stronger one’s body, the harder it is to be invaded.
The risk here is far less than for other types of cultivators.
Of course, that was just one of the reasons for her coming here.
The most important reason was that, due to Wang Sheng, she obtained many secret techniques.
Among them was a secret technique from a Twelve Realm Saint Emperor, which allowed her to identify flaws in her body cultivation through Parasitic Race invasions, as they invade by identifying physical weaknesses.
The source of this secret technique was a Saint Emperor who chose to follow Wang Sheng, the Yin Yue Saint Emperor.
She was also a female cultivator and coincidentally, a body cultivation practitioner.
“Indeed, worthy of a Saint Emperor…”
The secret technique provided her great aid, and her biggest benefit also stemmed from it.
“The risk is high, but once I successfully repel an invasion, I can compensate for some cultivation flaws. This place is simply the perfect training ground for me…”
In just over a year, her progress surpassed what she had achieved over centuries on the Source Star.
“Whether in direct combat or secret maneuvering, both allow me to progress. I hope to break through to the Eleventh Realm before the war ends…”
…
Besides Zhu Xiao, other cultivators from the Source Star also capitalized on Wang Sheng and found their fortunes.
In over a year on the battlefield, they all gained significantly.
Some even died within a short time and were resurrected by Wang Sheng.
And this was considered lucky, for even death was not the end and they could be revived.
In fact, on the battlefield, complete death was the norm.
Ninth Realm, Tenth Realm, even Eleventh Realm cultivators died countless times, becoming spirits.
Countless cultivators rose, while even more perished.
As for those at the Saint Emperor level, they had always been in clandestine standoffs, without incident.
Wang Sheng and other top Saint Emperors, per their plan, seized opportunities to engage and distract the Devouring Sect’s Saint Emperors.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the tenth year since the war broke out, the War Era Year 10.
Ten years would have been momentary to high-realm cultivators.
Yet the war made these ten years incredibly long.
Over the decade, Wang Sheng and his group continuously harassed, forcing the Devouring Sect into a reactive position.
Eventually, they seized an opportunity.
Wang Sheng forcefully killed a Saint Emperor from the Devouring Sect.
The name of the Lifeless True Saint resounded even louder.
Of course, the Conquest Sect’s Saint Emperors were also not faring well.
The elder Saint Emperor, Zhong Miao Saint Emperor, was already near the end of his lifespan, with only a few hundred years left. Yet he fought desperately against the Devouring Sect, completely burning his lifeforce, leaving him with only a few years.
“Zhong Miao Saint Emperor, should you wish to return to your homeland, you may. And if you have any unfulfilled desires, feel free to voice them, and so long as they’re realizable, we shall fulfill them,”
Wang Sheng and others were willing to show respect to such a seasoned emperor.
Zhong Miao Saint Emperor could no longer maintain his youthful appearance; he was incredibly old, like a kindly elder. Confronting the top Saint Emperors at the peak, he brimmed with longing for their realm, free of any other desires.
Finally, he said, “Returning is unnecessary; my Mother World has long been destroyed, with no descendants remaining. I’ve been a Loose Cultivator for tens of millions of years, but if I have a desire… indeed, I have one!”
He then slowly revealed his wish.
Wang Sheng and the others were quite surprised, but they nodded.
War Era Year 11.
The Conquest Sect’s four top Saint Emperors launched another raid, seeking opportunities.
The Devouring Sect, familiar with this by now, instantly dispatched five top Saint Emperors for defense.
In addition, due to the incident of Wang Sheng seizing a Saint Emperor’s opportunity,
They also brought along dozens of Saint Emperors from the front line.
Wang Sheng looked at the Devouring Sect Saint Emperors and smiled: “Good luck!”
He immediately made his move, and the Space-time Ring appeared.
Chong Xu immediately reacted: “Stop him; we are not his target!”
Unfortunately, after a year of preparation, Wang Sheng could not err.
In an instant, a Saint Emperor from the Devouring Sect was captured.
Once caught, the Space-time Ring instantly sliced through space and transported him to an unknown location.
The captured Devouring Sect Saint Emperor was extremely anxious, unable to comprehend why he was being targeted by top Saint Emperors.
Yet, as he anticipated a top Saint Emperor to come and slay him,
he saw a familiar figure.
“Zhong Miao, it’s you!”
“Meeting again, Evil Eye… The hatred from eight million six hundred seventy thousand years ago ends today!”
Zhong Miao Saint Emperor burned his remaining lifeforce and charged directly.
This time, all cultivators witnessed the terrifying impact of a self-destructing Saint Emperor.
Wang Sheng and others watched the self-destruction of Zhong Miao Saint Emperor with complex expressions.
“With his Mother World destroyed, he endured for millions of years to develop this forbidden technique, ultimately for revenge…”
Saint Emperors can self-destruct, but a typical explosion, albeit powerful, cannot kill a Saint Emperor in optimal condition.
However, this was a secret technique developed by Zhong Miao Saint Emperor through over eight million years of hatred.
Evil Eye Saint Emperor could not escape!
In the end, the phenomena of a Saint Emperor’s fall appeared consecutively twice.
All of this was shown by Wang Sheng using the Space-time Ring to everyone at the front line.
Simultaneously, he delivered this message:
“Zhong Miao Saint Emperor, even with his frail body, slayed the Devouring Sect’s Evil Eye Saint Emperor; this is righteousness…”
Zhong Miao Saint Emperor’s sole wish was to kill the Evil Eye Saint Emperor.
Originally, he intended to charge into the Devouring Sect’s domain near the end of his life to seek an opportunity.
Yet doing so would have likely led to his demise.
The war, however, presented him a chance.
He succeeded in taking down his enemy with him.
Chong Xu naturally understood and spoke with a somber tone: “To go so far for an ordinary, aging Saint Emperor, you all aren’t afraid of being taken down here!”
Facing the harassment from the Conquest Sect’s Saint Emperors, they naturally sought ways to counteract it.
“If the Conquest Sect continues this way, you may well be defeated.”
No matter the reality, their spirit should not be dampened.
“Hah!”
Chong Xu didn’t argue further.
Once again, each side lost a Saint Emperor before retreating.
Yet, with a Eleventh Realm Saint watching, his resolve strengthened: “Saint Emperor… I will not fail your expectations…”
For a moment, the battlefield’s situation almost reversed.
However, it eventually stabilized.
Unless a major incident occurred on the Saint Emperor level battlefield, the rest would be a war of attrition…
“””
