Chapter 351 It’s Just a Small Island
I don’t know how much time has passed, but seeing Lu Changjing become a little weaker than before and even taking several magical pills and medicines, some mysterious monsters and demons became suspicious.
"It's been almost half a month, why hasn't he fallen yet? Even if it's Xuan Zun, after being besieged for such a long time and killing hundreds of millions of demons and monsters, he should have fallen."
"Could it be that our attack through Tianque was not strong enough and did not weaken him enough, so he was still unable to hold on? It's a pity that the Jiuzhou Xuanzhen Group actually had this kind of backup plan, which almost broke it."
"After all, it is a top-level group of profound formations, and its weakening effect on combat skills and secret arts is extremely strong. Moreover, our Sky-breaking Mirror is only a high-level profound weapon, and its power is ultimately limited. Perhaps because of this, he was able to deal with it so easily and was unable to severely injure it."
"That should be it. Is this boy a Xuanzun? If he is a Xuanzun, why has he never mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and why has he never been found to exert the power of the Xuan level?"
"They were able to hold out for so long under our siege, and there are many top-level gods and demons among them. Apart from Xuan Zun, how could gods and demons have such power? It should be that he controlled his spirit and energy under Xuan Zun, so he was able to hold out for so long."
"That's for sure. The gods and demons are not that powerful. Let's continue. He is much weaker than he was dozens of days ago. Maybe he is just holding on and will collapse in the next moment."
……
After some discussion, the Xuan-level monsters and demons once again mobilized a large number of monsters and demons and launched an offensive against Lu Changjing.
Lu Changjing also showed some "weakness" out of respect, with a barely perceptible look of "helplessness" emerging on his face. He then threw himself into the battle once again and soon had an epiphany.
Dozens of days of practice were equivalent to more than several months of practice before. The various combat skills and secret techniques improved rapidly. The spirit was also tempered in these endless battles, becoming stronger and stronger. At the same time, even the limits were greatly expanded.
Especially when you are in a state of enlightenment, this improvement will be even faster.
A lot of medicinal power that had been hidden in Lu Changjing's body for many years was stimulated during the battle, further improving his cultivation level.
It was only at this moment that Lu Changjing was shocked to find that there was actually a lot of medicinal power hidden in his body that had not been fully utilized. He had taken too many panaceas over the years, taking several or even dozens of pills almost every day.
In this case, how is it possible to fully digest?
Now, because of this war, it has been stimulated, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
Under the effect of these drugs, Lu Changjing broke through the limit much faster than before, and could even be described as a rapid advance. According to Lu Changjing's speculation, if he continued, perhaps in about half a month, he would be able to step into the semi-profound god and demon level, and his spirit, energy and soul would all be promoted.
The combat skills, secret techniques, and mysterious weapons of those mysterious monsters and demons outside also baptized Lu Changjing's spirit time and time again, helping him to better temper his divine blood, divine essence, and divine soul.
After realizing the benefits brought by these combat skills and secret arts, Lu Changjing even deliberately reduced his Vajra Indestructibility and put away the Nine Dragon Armor, allowing these mysterious powers to penetrate into his body and better temper his spirit.
To a certain extent, this kind of tempering may be almost as strong as the triple heavenly tribulation.
The hidden power of the medicine, the tempering of the mysterious strength, the sudden enlightenment again and again... the combination of all these made Lu Changjing enter a strange state, and his energy and spirit began to soar.
This state is hard to come by and can be considered a great fortune and opportunity, but it is also a different kind of refining gold in a fierce fire.
In a trance, Lu Changjing fell into enlightenment again, and this time it was an enlightenment about spiritual cultivation.
"Click..."
At a certain moment, his body refining skills broke through the limit and stepped into the semi-profound realm. The strength of his defense had reached two million and one times that of an ordinary person. It seemed that it had only doubled the level of an ordinary person, but it meant that the limit had been broken, and the benefits and strength increase it brought were far more than just double that of an ordinary person.
Once the limit is broken, the subsequent improvement speed will be much faster. It is estimated that it will take three million times before encountering a major bottleneck and shackles again, and it will be necessary to continue to break the limit.
With a barely perceptible smile on his lips, Lu Changjing continued to devote himself to the battle, letting time pass by little by little, eagerly absorbing all kinds of benefits from the battle.
The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of days had passed and the war had lasted for a month.
The number of demons and monsters that have died at the hands of Lu Changjing has exceeded one billion. Among them, there are about 30,000 demon gods, monster gods, ghost gods, and strange gods above level 20. Among them are many top-level gods and monsters and semi-profound gods and monsters. It is conceivable how tragic this war was.
The corpses of these demons and monsters were all taken away by the Jiuzhou Alliance. Not to mention the large number, just the corpses of these demons and monsters above level 20 are enough for the human race in Jiuzhou to eat for many, many years, and they need to be diluted many times.
Lu Changjing on the battlefield was so "weak" that he was gasping for breath from time to time, but he persisted and did not fall down, like a brave fighter. Even the monsters and demons outside were shocked at this moment.
"He was able to hold out for so long under our siege. I didn't expect there would be such a powerful person in the land of Jiuzhou. When he dies, don't waste any of his energy. Give it all to the various tribes for consumption."
"Who would have thought that the Phoenix God King was not a woman, but a man? Who would have thought that he had such strength? If it weren't for the intervention of the Heaven-Sealing Chill and the Extreme Frost Wind, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to break through the Nine Provinces Barrier."
"So many of our clansmen have died. Should we continue? I feel like something is wrong. The Phoenix God King has persisted for too long."
"It has come to this point. How can we not continue? He can't hold on for much longer. He is not far from defeat."
……
Even the enemies are like this, let alone our own people.
Outside the Tianzhong area, many gods, demons, and masters of the human race were already in tears as they looked at the hunched-over Lu Changjing.
"We can't let the leader continue. We have to go forward to help. There are so many monsters, how can the leader kill them all by himself?"
"Woo, woo, woo, woo, if I had known that things would deteriorate to this extent, I should not have slacked off in the past few years. Maybe I could have entered the realm of Xuanzun like the leader, and I could have lightened the burden for the leader."
"I can't bear it anymore. Even if I die, I want to die beside the leader."
"Don't mess with the leader. The Tianzhong area is now covered by mystical magic. Once we gods and demons enter it, we will be immediately bewitched and draw our swords against the leader. Not only will we not be able to help the leader, but we will also become a burden to him."
"Yes, now all we can do is to complete the tasks assigned by the leader and store enough resources for the Jiuzhou Alliance and the human race, so that we can continue to survive."
……
Lu Changjing also noticed the abnormality of these human gods and demons, and quickly sent a message to them, asking them not to come in, because they really could not help much and would become a burden.
Moreover, his current appearance is just an act, and he is not at the end of his life. Don't let the enemy be fooled, or else their own people will be fooled as well.
However, it is impossible to say that he is not tired. Even with the recovery effect brought by the golden finger that is almost like refreshing the status, he has been fighting for so long, and billions of demons and monsters have died at his hands. Even if his energy is still sufficient, he still feels a little tired.
It was a kind of fatigue that came from the mind and soul. Fortunately, he could enter into enlightenment from time to time. Coupled with the rapid progress in his cultivation and the rapid growth in his combat skills and secret techniques, his fatigue was reduced a lot.
According to the current situation, there should be no problem in holding on for a few more months.
There are really a lot of monsters and demons outside, especially high-level monsters and demons. There are only a few hundred gods and demons in the land of Jiuzhou, but outside, the number of gods and demons killed by him alone is more than 30,000, and the number is still increasing.
Thanks to the endurance brought by the immortal physique and cultivation foundation, I used to think that endurance might be the least useful enhancement brought by the immortal physique.
After all, his endurance was already very strong, and he didn't need the bonus of immortal physique at all. Now it seems that endurance is also extremely important at critical moments.
Without the bonus of his immortal physique, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
Longevity, defense, endurance... every core growth brought by the immortal physique cannot be ignored.
In a trance, Lu Changjing's mind had a flash of inspiration, and he was once again in a state of enlightenment, completely unaware of where he was.
"Click..."
An unknown amount of time had passed, but along with the sound of the limit being broken, his spiritual cultivation also broke through the limit and was promoted to the semi-profound realm.
With a slight smile, Lu Changjing's expression seemed more and more decadent, which made the demons and monsters outside more energetic. They mobilized more troops to besiege Lu Changjing, wanting to take this opportunity to capture him.
But what made the demons and monsters outside helpless was that before they knew it, another day, two days, three days... until a month passed.
Looking at Lu Changjing, who had descended to more than 300 meters and whose face seemed to have wrinkles, the Xuan-level monsters outside looked at each other in confusion, somewhat doubting their lives.
"Why hasn't he fallen yet? It's been more than two months. He's been fighting non-stop for more than two months, and he's even got our support. How can this Phoenix God King hold on like this?"
"Don't you find it strange? Although the Phoenix God King's aura has been weakening and he looks increasingly powerless, he has never fallen. Could this be a trick?"
"What kind of trick could this be? It can only be said that the Phoenix God King has a very strong will. Now the entire human race and the Nine Provinces Alliance rely on him alone. It is not surprising that he burst out with such power before his death. It's just that his burst took a little longer."
"Should we mobilize the Extermination Alliance to destroy those earth veins, spirit veins, and water veins to further weaken the Jiuzhou barrier and see if we can break it? If there is no barrier of the seven-colored patch, if we go in directly, maybe the profound skills and profound arts will not be weakened so much, and we can easily defeat it."
"No, the Extermination Alliance is searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Dinghai Pearl. If we let them destroy the land of Jiuzhou, they will be caught immediately. This is our backup plan. We can't use it like this. If the Jiuzhou barrier is still not breached, wouldn't it be a loss?"
……
It turned out that the people from the Human-Extermination Alliance were secretly controlled by them to search for the Dinghai Pearl. No wonder they hadn't caused any trouble during this period.
However, these demons and monsters of the Human-killing Alliance still attributed the fact that one of the reasons why Lu Changjing had not yet fallen was that their profound skills and arts were too severely weakened by the Jiuzhou Barrier, but they did not know that it was not that they were weakened too much, but that Lu Changjing's defense was too strong.
Time flies by, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
This war has been going on for three months, and the number of demons and monsters who have died at the hands of Lu Changjing has exceeded five billion, including more than 50,000 gods and demons.
Even the power of demons and monsters from the outside world felt heartbroken at this moment. After all, this was nearly half of their essence.
After entering the realm of Xuanzun, he no longer cared so much about the low-level tribesmen, and even treated them as tools.
But when too many tools are damaged, it becomes unbearable.
Moreover, after experiencing decades of disasters, the monsters and demons outside suffered heavy losses. There were trillions of monsters and demons, but only hundreds of billions are left, and most of them are monsters and demons below level ten.
However, most of those who entered the land of Kyushu were elites above level ten, and now nearly half of these elites have died.
A group of Xuan-level monsters and demons also began to doubt their lives. After some consideration, they decided to send out a large number of monsters and demons below level ten to consume Lu Changjing's energy.
Although this consumes less energy, it is better than letting the opponent recover.
In this way, large numbers of demons and monsters below level ten were sent in, and Lu Changjing naturally saw the enemy's plan.
But he didn't care, as long as he could kill.
Soon another three months passed. Because most of them were low-level monsters, Lu Changjing killed more monsters. In just half a year, more than 20 billion monsters had died at his hands.
Seeing Lu Changjing becoming more and more hunched, the mysterious demons and monsters outside could no longer hold on.
"It's been so long, why haven't we knocked him down yet? We have already rotated several times, but he is still alive and kicking. What is going on?"
"Is it because of his special physique that he was able to hold on for so long? Or is there some powerful elixir that can quickly replenish his energy? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."
"Should we continue? So many of our tribesmen have died. Some are unwilling to enter the land of Jiuzhou. Moreover, the freezing air is getting stronger and stronger. Many tribesmen below level 10 can't hold on any longer."
"If we can't hold on, let them in and consume the energy of the Phoenix God King. It has come to this point. Can we still retreat?"
……
After some arguments, most of the Xuan-level monsters decided to continue. After all, as some monsters said, they had persisted for such a long time, so how could they retreat?
They could no longer retreat. The sky-sealing cold air would not allow them to retreat, and the extremely cold wind was also watching them covetously. The combination of the two had the power to destroy the world.
Looking up and far away, this piece of world has been surrounded by endless sky-sealing cold air and extremely cold wind, and is getting closer and closer to their Butcher Island.
At the current speed, in a few decades, they will be able to reach the Slaughter Island and grind everything here into powder. By then, no one will be able to escape.
And who knows whether during this period, a large amount of sky-sealing cold air and extremely cold wind will enter the Tu Ren Island. It's not like this has never happened before during this period. Every time the sky-sealing cold air and extremely cold wind erupt, the Tu Ren Island will suffer heavy damage. Even a mysterious demon was swept away by the sudden outbreak of the sky-sealing cold air and extremely cold wind, and there was no sound ever since.
They dared not delay any longer and had to break through the Jiuzhou barrier as soon as possible and enter to find the whereabouts of the Dinghai Pearl. With the help of the power of the Dinghai Pearl, they could stabilize the situation on the Turen Island, thereby weakening the sky-sealing cold air and the extremely cold wind, and even isolate them.
Time does not wait for humans, nor for these demons and monsters.
The sky-sealing cold air and the extreme cold wind are forcing the monsters and demons outside, and the monsters and demons outside are forcing Lu Changjing and the entire human race. The two sides are connected in this way, and now they are both in great pain.
However, both major ethnic groups are aware that this is now a battle of life and death. No one can retreat, and there is no possibility of coexistence.
Especially after stealing information about the outside world from the monsters and demons that entered the land of Jiuzhou, Lu Changjing basically no longer had any hope for the coexistence of humans and monsters and demons, especially with monsters and demons from the outside world.
From the name of the Butcher Island, we can see how much hatred the monsters and demons outside have for the human race.
Nowadays, there are basically no human beings in the areas outside the land of Kyushu. Even if there are, they are just livestock of demons and monsters, who raise them as food. It can be said that their lives are miserable.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the human race in the outside world exceeded one trillion, but now there are less than ten thousand, or even less, and more than 99% of them have been extinct.
Even if the demons and monsters in the outside world said they wanted to coexist peacefully with them, Lu Changjing would never believe it at all. Doing so would undoubtedly be an insult to his own intelligence and the behavior of a fool.
Lu Changjing learned so many things from the monsters and demons that entered the land of Kyushu, which almost overturned his three views.
