Chapter 183 Resentful Spirit (Please Subscribe)
Six Golden Core True Persons, in order not to harm their own disciples, soared towards the Ninth Heaven.
Fighting above, but even so, Sword Qi, Demon Blades, and the corpse flames of Corpse Refining occasionally fell from the sky...
Each time was like a divine punishment. Purple Mansion cultivators were still okay, but those at the Foundation Establishment phase couldn't even avoid this stray force, and as for Qi Cultivators, it was a massacre.
In front of the entire Heavenly River Great Wall, it instantaneously became like hell, while the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refining Sect launched their most fierce attacks.
The number of Purple Mansion cultivators had doubled compared to before, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators had tripled.
As the commander of the moment, the Black Jiao Hermit felt a chill in his heart. These past two years, the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refining Sect had obviously held back their strength.
"Everyone, hold the walls, don't hold back your Spirit Talismans and Magic Artifacts. The Three Sects of the Zhao Kingdom will bear all the costs afterward!"
Seeing that many cultivators' Magic Artifacts had been contaminated by the Heavenly Demon Sect's demonic gourd and facing overwhelming numbers, the Black Jiao Hermit started to consider retreat, so he bellowed fiercely.
His bellow, also imbued with a spell, resounded in the ears of every cultivator from the Three Sects, boosting the morale of the Three Sects substantially.
Especially targeted towards the Immortal Cultivation families under the Three Sects, these families were the most passive in avoiding the battle.
But now, with his shout, everyone's faces turned awkward.
However, their awkwardness was not out of embarrassment, but rather, given the current situation, the odds of victory were clearly not good, but if they were to retreat and be remembered by the Black Jiao Hermit, they would likely die even faster when that time came.

The Lin Family's Lin Xianzhi had even received a transmission from the Qingxuan Sect ordering families close to the Sect like the Lin Family to set a good example in the charge.
But at this moment, how could Lin Xianzhi not understand that the city's fall might happen today?
He transmitted a series of instructions to Lin Houyuan, arranging for the Qi Cultivators inside the family's city gate to notify Lin Shiming, then resolutely raised the Qinglian Sword, leading countless sword lights as he rushed toward the front.
As long as Shiming was still in seclusion, he couldn't retreat!
Meanwhile, the Qian Family, which was also notified, still showed lackluster interest, with Qian Bosheng pretending to fiercely attack a Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Activate the Formation!" The Black Jiao Hermit noticed the particularly ferocious attack from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the spell battle between the Golden Core True Persons in the sky was even more intense and chaotic.
With a loud command, a cultivator dressed in a Four Symbols Daoist robe threw out a stream of formation flags on the city gate, and then the defensive battle of Heavenly River City started to quiver.
In the next moment, tens of thousands of Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones were consumed by the Formation, vanishing into nothingness.
And the Spiritual Energy of the entire Spirit Formation began to undulate ceaselessly, showing fierce beasts locking their prey, with the cries of myriad beasts resounding!
"Myriad Beasts Formation, arise!"
With another commanding shout, tens of thousands of Spirit Beast True Spirits rushed towards the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refining Sect Cultivators.
It was like an overwhelming surge of beasts, covering the sky and the earth, with beast roars deafening, as if it were truly a tide of beasts.
And all the Demon Cultivators were thrown into great disorder, rushing to control their refined corpse chiefs to the front, forming a wall of corpses to block the way.
All the cultivators from the Zhao Kingdom suddenly felt a great burden lifted, exulting with joy, and in an instant, every spell they cast was three parts more fierce.
They could only lament why the Sect had not revealed this powerful Formation weapon earlier.
The onslaught of beasts was far more terrifying than the blood corpses of the Corpse Refining Sect and the host of demons.
A single initial charge had nearly crushed half of the Corpse Refining Sect's corpse trainers, shattered the Heavenly Demon Sect's demon banners into countless pieces, claimed the lives of many Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the spot, and even claimed a Purple Mansion Cultivator, who was overwhelmed by the True Spirit Beast Tide and perished on the spot.
"The Fifth Rank Myriad Beasts Formation is indeed extraordinary!" Facing off against the Black Dragon Hermit was the Corpse Refining Sect's Profound Corpse Hermit, who was still smiling lightly at this moment.
As if the recent attack hadn't inflicted any damage on his Sect.
"Profound Corpse, knowing the Formation's power, why do you not retreat swiftly? Zhao Kingdom is hardly a place for you demon cultivators to run amok!" The Black Dragon Hermit also bellowed in anger and, holding the Black Dragon Sword, slashed out once again.
Profound Corpse Hermit gave a cold laugh without replying and also stepped forward with a sword strike.
However, at this moment, three Golden Corpses shielded the Golden Corpse Child as he advanced and, unbeknownst to anyone, reached the walls of Heavenly River City.
From his hands, no fewer than three thousand six hundred coffins flew out, completely encircling Heavenly River City in an impenetrable circle.
The host of Purple Mansion Cultivators in the sky hurriedly realized something was amiss and tried to intervene, but they were tied down by the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect.
The next moment saw the three thousand six hundred coffins being opened one after another, releasing countless blood corpses similar to those previously unleashed by the Golden Corpse Hermit.
"Not good, quickly infuse spiritual energy!" The Black Dragon Hermit shouted loudly, signaling the cultivators inside the city to take out Spirit Stones and restore the Myriad Beasts Formation.
But it was already too late. The next instant, the three thousand six hundred blood corpses exploded into a fierce blood mist, along with millions of vengeful spirits, rushing toward the Spirit Formation.
Under the sky covered in blood mist, millions of vengeful spirits screamed, trampled, and charged, breaking through the Spirit Formation of the Myriad Beasts Sect as though it were melting ice and snow, not holding up for even a moment before it began to massively collapse and shatter.
The terrifying aftermath directly hit some Cultivators, causing them to bleed from all orifices, their eyes blood-red as if they were becoming corpses.
Moreover, those millions of vengeful spirits also started to self-destruct at this moment, completely blowing open the already unstable Formation, destroying the formation base and leaving no possibility for repair.
"Profound Corpse, you dare to integrate vengeful spirits into corpses!!!" The Black Dragon Hermit was extremely furious.
Those three thousand six hundred blood corpses were not only cultivated from the fallen cultivators but had also been sacrificed with the blood of millions of mortals, infused with the vengeful spirits into the bodies of the Xue Sha corpses to break the Formation.
And without the Formation, Heavenly River City would no longer be a natural stronghold, and Heavenly River State would inevitably fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect—at that time, even these Purple Mansion Cultivators would face death.
The shattering of the Formation caused the Zhao Kingdom's cultivators to feel a wave of despair, and a group of Sect disciples, who had already been prepared to escape, began to flee.
This was something already arranged by the Sect disciples.
They ran surprisingly fast, and then some Foundation Establishment Cultivator families also came to their senses and quickly retreated.
At this time, no one could stop the assault of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect.
"Fellow disciples, we will hold them off first, allowing our own Sect disciples to retreat!" The Black Dragon Hermit's heart was torn, as he hadn't expected the Formation of Heavenly River City to be destroyed on his watch.
But at this moment, they, as Purple Mansion Cultivators, couldn't retreat; if the Purple Mansion Cultivators were to leave, no one would stop the Purple Mansion Cultivators of the two Sects. By then, the Foundation Establishment disciples and Qi Cultivation disciples would have no chance of survival.
But even as Purple Mansion Cultivators stood their ground, the Black Dragon Hermit still noticed that the Zhao Kingdom's cultivators were being cut down like wheat by the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect.
In the midst of the great battle, Lin Hou Yuan was engulfed in grief. Lin Xianzhi, having charged too far forward, was now trapped by two late-stage Foundation Establishment and one perfect-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
And he felt helpless, unable to come to the rescue, and even forced to lead the Qi Cultivation members of the Lin Family to flee in disgrace.
