Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 702: Chapter 362: Demon Nest, Smelting_2

Although that was the case, when he felt the terrifying sword radiance drawing ever nearer, his body stiffened involuntarily, and fear kept growing in his heart.

If it wasn’t a situation where he was driven to a dead end, he would never give up struggling.

But the opponent was just too powerful, so much so that he had no strength to resist at all.

Just as he gave up hope for life, someone suddenly stood out.

This person stretched out a hand to grasp the sword radiance, and with a pinch, crushed it to dust.

Such horrific sword radiance, simply blocked like that—what kind of powerhouse was this!

“Lu Yun, what is the meaning of this?!”

Yuan Jiankong frowned as he stood in the starry sky, his face darkening and turning ugly.

He never expected that Lu Yun would offend him just for some lowly native.

What surprised him even more was how easily Lu Yun had crushed that sword radiance of his.

Though that was just a casual strike from him, he had still used thirty percent of his power.

His thirty percent power, let alone someone at the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm, even disciples of the Green Flame Palace at the eighth level would find it hard to withstand.

Lu Yun said indifferently, “We can’t judge others from our lofty positions. The Longwu Continent has suffered an invasion of Outer Domain Demons; relying on the power of this world alone, it’s simply impossible to fight back. If any of us were in his position, we might make the same choices he did.”

“Lu Yun is right, the desire to live is everyone’s instinct; we shouldn’t be too harsh on others,” Lin Jingtian came out to help Lu Yun, “Moreover, we are here to help Longwu Continent eliminate the demon threats. We have just arrived, and if we start by killing a powerful being of Longwu Continent, it would seem inappropriate.”

Seeing Lin Jingtian speak thus, Yuan Jiankong naturally didn’t dare say anything further.

Lin Jingtian was a powerhouse on the Mountain River List. Though his strength wasn’t quite on par with those three leading elite disciples, he had tremendous potential, and his words carried weight.

“Alright, since Junior Brother Lin has spoken, let’s drop the matter. We should set off quickly, complete the mission, and return to Green Fire Palace as soon as possible.”

“As for him, although his strength is weak, he is still a considerable force on Longwu Continent; let him join us in exterminating the demon threats.” Jin Jikang smiled slightly, his words leaving no room for argument as he grabbed He Lingpeng.

Boom!

Wrapped in World Power, Jin Jikang, carrying He Lingpeng, shot out like a flaming meteor.

The rest of the group transformed into streaks of light, dispersing the atmosphere as they swiftly flew towards the Longwu Continent.

The vacuum trembled, and the residual wave of energy stirred up thousands of massive waves in the East Sea, while the powerful presence shook giant sea creatures into trembling.

He Lingpeng’s eyes were vacant, his entire body rigid, and even his thoughts were stunned to a halt.

Within just half an hour, he had returned from the isolated Ascending Island, over the seas, to Longwu Continent—that speed was frighteningly fast.

You should know, it had taken him nearly half a year to travel from Longwu Continent to Ascending Island before, even accounting for getting lost and being hindered by sea beasts.

“Unity Realm?” Lu Yun narrowed his eyes, looking towards the distant horizon, where a strong presence was rapidly approaching.

Before long, a gray-robed elder appeared before them, “I am Ning Gu, the Steward of the Longwu Continent from Green Flame Palace, and who might you be?”

“Elite Disciple of Green Flame Palace, Jin Jikang.”

“Elite Disciple of Green Flame Palace, Ren Chaoli.”

“Elite Disciple of Green Flame Palace, Pu Jiao.”

“So it’s Junior Brother Jin, Junior Brother Ren, and Junior Sister Pu who have arrived—now there is hope for the billions of lives on Longwu Continent,” Ning Gu was extremely moved; with three elite disciples, plus over a hundred strong official disciples, there was a chance for success.

Jin Jikang observed Ning Gu, who was pale and disheveled, and said flatly, “Steward Ning, it seems you’ve been seriously hurt. Has the demonic calamity on Longwu Continent escalated so drastically?”

At the peak of the second level of the Unity Realm, almost reaching the limit of Longwu Continent and with the additional support from the will of Heaven and Earth as the local enforcer, Ning Gu could fight even against someone at the third level of the Unity Realm.

Ren Chaoli and Pu Jiao were also frowning slightly; their strength wasn’t much greater than Ning Gu’s.

Considering Ning Gu had been injured to such an extent, it suggested the grave state of Longwu Continent.

Ning Gu took a deep breath and sighed, “Half a month ago, I gathered the native powerhouses of the Longwu Continent, intending to destroy one of the demon nests to slow the spread of the demonic cataclysm. To my surprise, however, a demon beast of the Unity Realm had appeared within that nest, its power in no way inferior to mine. Even with the bolstering will of Heaven and Earth, I could only barely manage a draw against it. Ultimately, due to the overwhelming number of demons, we were forced to retreat in defeat.”

Ren Chaoli furrowed his brows, “Could it be that there is more than one demon nest on the Longwu Continent?”

He had become an elite disciple and had once partaken in such missions to clear out demonic calamities.

From his understanding, demon nests were the transformation bases of the Outer Domain Demons, creating demon beasts by releasing demon qi and desires, then slaughtering various lifeforms to establish demon ponds for shaping physical bodies for the descent of Outer Domain Demons.

However, it was rare for there to be two or more demon nests.

Ning Gu gave a helpless, bitter smile, “If there was only one demon nest, even if I couldn’t clear it out, I could suppress it and prevent it from spreading.”

“But with three demon nests appearing on the Longwu Continent one after another, I’m spread too thin and can’t handle them all.”

“The key is that the Outer Domain Demons behind these three nests seem connected, supporting each other. When we concentrate all our forces on destroying one nest, the demon beasts from the other two nests come to its aid, which is utterly detestable.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions became solemn.

Three demon nests, and their backers were connected, supporting each other.

This mission’s difficulty was not small!

“Steward Ning, where exactly are these three demon nests located, and which one is the strongest?” Jin Jikang asked in a deep voice.

“The Wangyue Mountain Range in the west, the vast Wangmo Desert in the northwest, and the frigid ice mountains in the north. Among them, the demon nest in the Wangyue Mountain Range appeared first, grew the fastest, and that’s where I sustained heavy losses during my last encounter.”

Remembering his previous ordeal, Ning Gu looked visibly shaken.

“In that case, let’s divide our forces into three and purge the three demon nests simultaneously.”

Jin Jikang said to Pu Jiao and Ren Chaoli, “I’ll take responsibility for the demon nest in the Wangyue Mountain Range. Junior Brother Ren and Junior Sister Pu, you two will handle the Wangmo Desert demon nest and the ice mountain demon nest, respectively. How does that sound?”

“Okay.”

“Sure.”

Ning Gu’s expression turned solemn as he looked at Jin Jikang and the others with concern, “Junior Brothers, if we divide our forces, we’ll only weaken our strength. I fear we won’t be able to annihilate the demon nests. I think it’s best to concentrate all our forces and clear the nests one by one.”

Jin Jikang waved his hand dismissively, “Focusing our forces indeed has a bigger chance of success, but I’m afraid that by the time we clear out one nest, the other two will have already formed the physical bodies of the Outer Domain Demons. At that point, the difficulty of eradicating the demon nests will be even greater.”

He continued, “To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, we should attack the demon nests now. Steward Ning, please return and summon all the warriors above the Golden Core Realm from the Longwu Continent to come and support us.”

Seeing Jin Jikang’s decisive and thunderous resolution, Ning Gu naturally would not object any further. With a slight bow, he rode the wind and clouds, turning into a rainbow that soared away.

The hundred and eighty Green Fire Palace disciples who descended upon the Longwu Continent also split into three teams.

Lu Yun followed Jin Jikang toward the demon nest in the Wangyue Mountain Range, while Yuan Yao followed Pu Jiao to the demon nest in the frigid ice mountains.

“Hopefully, it’s not too late.”

Looking toward the dark clouds over the west, Jin Jikang sighed and then turned to Lu Yun and the others, saying softly, “Junior Brothers, whether we can eradicate the Wangyue Mountain Range demon nest in one fell swoop depends on you.”

With a thundering roar, a group of sixty people, free from any trace of mundane worldliness, broke through the sky.

In just a dozen breaths, they had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles.

The humans and demon beasts of the Longwu Continent had no idea that more than a hundred supreme powerhouses had already arrived from beyond the stars.

“Demon beasts?”

A cold gleam appeared in Lu Yun’s eye as he reached out his hand, a giant palm dazzling with golden light, firmly grasping toward the earth.

The demon beasts rampaging across the central continent had no chance to resist before being caught in the massive hand.

Then, they found themselves in a colossal black furnace.

Inside the furnace, blazing flames soared sky-high, holy fire reaching tens of thousands of feet high, incinerating everything.

Subsequently, they were smelted into essences, turning into streams of golden liquid origins, flowing into one of the Elephant Microparticles.
