As the saying goes: taking a step back only makes one angrier.
Seeing Liu Jianlong's silhouette descending the mountain, Tang Yu, after thinking for a moment, decided to use his Great Ice Dao to settle the score with that guy.
With a simple thought, a force of the Great Dao in harmony with heaven and earth enveloped Tang Yu's surroundings.
As for his understanding of the Dao, Tang Yu had already reached the level of an Immortal Emperor; it was just that his cultivation was not enough to ascend.
"This represents a diarrhea halfway through, it represents a lack of purity in the heart of the Dao."
Muttering that, Tang Yu silently launched a divine Dao technique toward Liu Jianlong.
Liu Jianlong, who was descending the mountain on foot, did not notice Tang Yu's attack at all.
With his cultivation level in the Divine Transformation Realm, he certainly could not perceive such a divine technique.
At that moment, a yellow aura entered his body.
While walking down, Liu Jianlong suddenly changed his expression slightly, feeling discomfort in his stomach.
"Why does my stomach hurt?"
Liu Jianlong's face turned gloomy. Although he had sealed his cultivation to climb on foot...
After all, he was still a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm!
The moment he hesitated and wavered...
That feeling of unrest grew even stronger.
Liu Jianlong, who hadn't known what it was like to go to the bathroom for more than a thousand years, was not prepared at all.
And that warm current simply appeared.
It roared, surged, bellowed, and rushed like an overflowing river.
At the moment Liu Jianlong noticed it, he could still forcibly control it.
But doing so meant he would use his cultivation while walking down the mountain.
For him, climbing on foot was his faith, the path of his Great Dao.
Every ascent and descent of the mountain was a process of returning to the original simplicity.
And using his cultivation in that process...
Was a blasphemy against his own Dao!
Without overthinking, Liu Jianlong chose to keep suppressing his power.
In this world, absolute perfection does not exist.
He had to choose between release or the Dao.
And by choosing the Dao, he could no longer suppress that primal force.
Still, Liu Jianlong forced himself to stay calm, even refusing to pull down his pants.
How could he allow his beloved Litang mountain range to be sullied by such filth?
"Who is doing this? Could it be that boy from before?"
He turned to look again, but found that the boy was no longer there.
With no other choice, Liu Jianlong endured the pain and continued descending the mountain.
"This is also part of Dao practice."
He repeated this phrase over and over in his heart, trying to convince himself to accept the pain.
But descending the mountain would take several hours.
After enduring for half an hour, Liu Jianlong could no longer bear the pain, and finally collapsed to the ground howling in suffering.
"Mmm mmm mmm, aaaaahhhhhh!"
That painful and powerful roar spread with the wind and snow, adding a little more stench to the Litang mountain range.
After avenging himself on Liu Jianlong, Tang Yu concealed all his merits, and upon returning, sat down to meditate, awaiting the start of the great battle.
Except for Tang Yu, with his carefree and indifferent attitude toward everything...
Everyone else took this war very seriously.
Powerful cultivators would fall in this battle; not even those in the Divine Transformation Realm would be safe.
Amid a slightly oppressive atmosphere, time passed second by second.
Until a drum thundered, echoing like a thunderclap in the air.
The various families and sects that came to support the Litang Sect rose and flew toward their destination.
Tang Yu also led his group and hurried as fast as he could.
As soon as they reached the sky above the Litang Sect...
The tremendous movement was already visible.
The entire sky seemed split in two: on the Litang Sect side, the sky was completely clear; over the Dark Sea, black clouds oppressed like a city, with lightning flashing and roaring among them.
Hundreds of water whirlpools formed in the Dark Sea, growing without cease,
until they connected the entire sky and earth.
These imposing water whirlpools advanced relentlessly in the sea, heading straight toward the Litang mountain range.
On the sea surface, countless sea monsters emerged from the water; beneath the surface, countless shadows, a terrifying number that chilled the blood.
"It's about to begin."
Said with a severe face an elder supreme standing beside Tang Yu.
"Elder Wang, did you participate in the previous battle?"
Tang Yu asked casually.
"Yes, back then I was in the Nascent Soul Realm. In that war, our Hehuan Sect lost three cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm. It was a very heavy blow."
Elder Wang gave a bitter smile. Even at that time, the Hehuan Sect was in crisis, and losing three supreme elders at once was like rubbing salt in the wound.
The Hehuan Sect mourned that loss, but would never regret it.
Under a fallen nest, no egg remains intact.
If the Litang mountain range did not hold and was taken by those sea monsters...
The entire southern region of the continent would pay a very high price for it.
The two had barely exchanged a few words when the patriarch of the Litang sect, Wang Yuan, flew over to them and greeted them with a closed fist.
"Comrades of the Hehuan Sect, I entrust you with taking charge of the left side of the battlefield."
"Understood."
Tang Yu nodded and led his group directly toward the left side of the battlefield.
The entire defense line of the Litang mountain range was truly too vast, and the seven great sects each took responsibility for a separate zone of the battlefield.
By the time Tang Yu and his group landed, disciples and elders of the Litang sect were already fighting against the sea beasts.
Without needing instructions from Tang Yu, the Hehuan Sect members organized themselves following the previously agreed tactic: form groups of ten and fight the sea beasts in formation.
Fighting in formation, they could not only attack and defend simultaneously, but also had enough time to recover their spiritual energy, which gave them a higher chance of survival than fighting separately.
That was a lesson learned after more than ten thousand years of battles.
Each formation was led by an elder of the Golden Core Realm as its core, assisted by disciples of the Foundation and Golden Core levels.
The supreme elders cultivated in the Divine Transformation Realm had a relatively lighter task: to focus on confronting the most dangerous enemies.
During combat, both sides also tried to keep away from the main battlefield to avoid harming their own comrades.
With the start of close-quarters combat between both sides, the battlefield quickly turned into a meat grinder, with countless sea beast corpses staining the beach completely red.
The great beasts of the Dark Sea seemed in no hurry at all.
One of them, a gigantic crimson whale of colossal size, emerged from the water and rose into the sky, emitting an extremely sharp and piercing scream.
This invisible sound wave spread, without affecting cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm.
But cultivators below that Realm began to feel dizzy and dazed.
Tang Yu frowned, and just as he prepared to act, Wang Yuan's voice was transmitted from the Litang mountains to everyone present.
"No need to intervene, I will handle it."
After speaking, Wang Yuan took his pipe and took a deep puff.
The pipe, which had been unlit, suddenly glowed, and immediately Wang Yuan exhaled a cloud of smoke.
Smoke techniques were mandatory for all cultivators of the Litang sect.
And Wang Yuan was, without a doubt, a genius worthy of that title.
After calmly exhaling that puff of smoke, in an instant it transformed into a dense fog that covered everything in its path, instantly silencing the sound of the crimson whale.
"Furong."
Upon pronouncing the word "Furong," all the fog transformed into a gigantic lotus flower that fell over the Dark Sea and immediately bloomed.
At that moment, most of the sea beasts under the lotus flower were either killed or severely wounded.
The crimson whale instantly transformed into human form, becoming a burly man with completely red skin, who charged directly at the lotus flower.
With that fierce attack, the lotus flower cracked completely and dissipated like smoke, while the space around it shook violently.
The crimson whale in human form coldly looked at Wang Yuan; as expected from the new patriarch of the Litang sect, his power was truly astonishing.
"Ancestor Red Horn, it seems you didn't come out winning against a young man, huh? Apparently, the drop in your level after the last great battle has affected you quite a bit."
A black-scaled merman flew to his side with a smile.
Red Horn frowned with a grim expression and gave the merman a cold look before raising his hand and sending a mental message.
More than a thousand crimson whales of his race instantly emerged from the Dark Sea.
These sea beasts, upon surfacing, formed huge spheres of water around them.
These spheres were violently shot, turning into a rain of water arrows directed at the entire battlefield and the Litang mountain range.
Each of these water arrows contained impressive destructive power, comparable to the full attack of a Golden Core level cultivator.
"I'm going!"
At that moment, a supreme elder of the Litang sect shouted loudly and flew alone to intercept the rain of water arrows.
This elder was short, as small as a child, and in the sky looked like a large winter gourd.
He formed seals with both hands and launched countless white discs that collided with the water arrows.
Upon impact, these discs instantly absorbed the water arrows.
Then they began to expand until they turned into long ribbons, increasing their size thousands of times.
The now enlarged white ribbons completely covered the sky over the battlefield, blocking all attacks from the crimson whale clan.
Seeing this, Ancestor Red Horn gritted his teeth and could not help but curse:
"Damn pumpkin dwarf!"
"The divine power of this dwarf completely counters his clan of crimson whales. No wonder he ranks ninth on the guaranteed death list of this war. I wonder if the other clans will also bring some experts worth noticing."
A beautiful and dazzling demon woman flew to his side with a smile.
She wore a long multicolored glass dress that fluttered in the wind like a seven-colored flower in full bloom, attracting everyone's gaze to the point of not being able to look away.
Below her feet, countless jellyfish floated in the sea.
In the Dark Sea, the jellyfish clan was known for being the hardest to cultivate and the least suited for fighting, but they were incredibly skilled in healing techniques.
At that moment, a battlefield high in the sky drew everyone's attention.
A demon cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm held a round human head in his hand while laughing loudly, raising it above his head and shouting with fury:
"I have killed Liu Jianlong of the Litang sect!"
Many cultivators of the Litang sect present reddened their eyes upon seeing the scene.
Two supreme elders of the Litang sect with grim faces immediately launched themselves to take revenge.
On the Dark Sea side, demons in the Divine Transformation Realm also came out to assist.
In an instant, more than ten high-level cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle above their heads.
Tang Yu glanced sideways and sighed.
Last time, he still heard him shouting that he represented happiness and joy.
Who would have thought he would be the first to die at the hands of the demons.
