Chapter 360 How to Properly Fight a War of Attrition
The demons and monsters outside didn't know that at this moment Lu Changjing seemed to be consuming his mysterious blood, mysterious energy and mysterious soul. In fact, under the effect of the Nine Yang Profound Art system, what he consumed was not as much as what he recovered.

The effect of the Nine Yang Mysterious Art system plus super recovery, when the two are combined, the power unleashed far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

Lu Changjing's energy consumption rate is simply not as fast as his recovery rate, which means that he is not consuming any energy at all when slaying demons and monsters. Instead, he is constantly improving his combat experience, combat skills, and combat techniques... and he also obtains valuable resources and treasures in the process.

However, the monsters and demons that entered the Tianzhong area did not have much on them, and basically stayed outside. After all, they came to die. Otherwise, Lu Changjing would have gained more.

However, these demons and monsters were obviously bewitched, otherwise why would they come in so continuously to die? Some of them even had their brains frozen by the extremely cold weather outside, so they had to be killed and eaten.

Lu Changjing also deliberately controlled the power of his combat skills and secret techniques, trying his best not to destroy the corpses of these monsters and ghosts, leaving them as food.

The masters of the Jiuzhou Alliance became busy again. A large number of masters, gods and demons sent away the corpses of these monsters and demons in an endless stream. After processing, they were stored and became food for the entire human race.

Although there were warriors participating, their numbers were decreasing. The reason was that the temperature in Kyushu was getting colder and colder.

As the Sealing Heaven Cold Prison got closer, more and more Sealing Heaven Cold Air and Extremely Cold Winds penetrated into the Butcher Island, causing the temperature on the Butcher Island to drop at an alarming rate.

Even with the Kyushu Barrier as a barrier, there is no distinction between autumn and winter in the land of Kyushu now, only winter remains.

The highest temperature is only around ten degrees, and most of the time it is below zero. The lowest temperature is over one hundred degrees below zero. The average temperature throughout the year is only around twenty degrees below zero, and it is still getting colder.

In this situation, not to mention ordinary people, even warriors cannot protect themselves effectively. If they are not careful, they will be frostbitten or even frozen to death.

Therefore, basically only practitioners above the Qi Refining Grandmaster level can participate in the work on the ground, and those below the Grandmaster level can only hide deep underground.

However, in this harsh environment, coupled with the massive amount of flesh and blood of monsters and demons provided by Lu Changjing, the human cultivators progressed extremely quickly. Grandmasters emerged like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the speed was far greater than before.

Many human cultivators even deliberately use extremely cold weather to temper themselves, and have created some techniques and combat skills that use extreme cold to temper the body.

Therefore, a large number of warriors were promoted and entered the master level.

After the battle lasted for three days and three nights, the weather suddenly changed again. Pieces of hail as big as a human head fell madly in the sky like meteorites, and many demons and monsters were smashed to death.

Fortunately, with Lu Changjing's level of cultivation, this little hail is nothing and has no effect on him at all.

"Nine Dragon Sword Technique: Imperial Extreme Forty!"

"Nine Dragon Finger: Dragon Fighting in the Wild!"

"Nine Dragon Seal, Yinglong Seal!"

"Nine Dragons Yin!"

……

Basically, he has perfected many combat skills and secret techniques. When the Nine Dragon Sword Technique·Huangji Forty is slashed out, there will be thousands of sword lights and dragon-shaped mysterious energy entwined. Wherever it passes, a large number of demons and monsters will die one after another. Hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters can be killed in an instant.

The dragon in the Nine Dragon Finger roared and fought wildly, cooperating perfectly with the Yinglong Seal to form a pair of dragons playing with a pearl, toying with those demons and monsters in the blink of an eye.

Not to mention the Nine Dragons Roar. As soon as he opened his mouth and chanted the Nine Dragons Roar, the area within a radius of dozens of miles became empty, and all the demons and monsters fell down.

Before they knew it, ten days and ten nights had passed, and the number of demons and monsters killed by Lu Changjing had exceeded ten billion.

The last time it took Lu Changjing half a year to kill more than 10 billion monsters and demons, but this time it only took ten days to kill more than 10 billion monsters and demons.

Moreover, Lu Changjing's energy consumption was smaller than last time, and his condition is better now, which shows how amazing his cultivation and strength have improved.

In order to reassure the monsters outside, Lu Changjing deliberately acted as if he had killed monsters for a month last time, looking quite tired and exhausted.

"I said he couldn't hold on for much longer. Even though he tried to hide it, he still looked much more tired and not as energetic as last time."

"He's so exhausted in just ten days. He can't even hide it. We've discovered something. It looks like he won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"Then increase the offensive. This time we must end the battle within a month. At least we must drive him away. We must quickly deploy the Xuan array group and attack Tianque with the help of both inside and outside forces."

"When we set up the formation again, we must be faster. It is best to complete it within a few dozen days. It does not matter if we spend more resources and treasures."

"We will give it a try when the time comes. We cannot give the Phoenix God King another chance to sabotage us."

……

The Xuan-level monsters and demons outside became much more alert. Although there were some doubts, after repeated confirmation, it was confirmed that Lu Changjing was indeed only a lower-level Xuanzun and did not exceed this level.

Moreover, if Lu Changjing really had the cultivation and strength of a middle-level Xuanzun, upper-level Xuanzun, or even a higher level, he would not have been blocked by them inside the Jiuzhou barrier. He would have rushed out to cause trouble for them long ago.

So things that seem a bit absurd are actually not that strange.

In this way, ten days passed... eleven days passed... twelve days passed... fifteen days passed... twenty days passed!
The number of demons and monsters that died at the hands of Lu Changjing exceeded 20 billion. Seeing Lu Changjing still persisting, many Xuan-level demons and monsters did not say a word, but frowned. The surroundings were terribly silent. Then these Xuan-level demons and monsters increased their offensive against Lu Changjing. All kinds of Xuan skills, Xuan arts, Xuan talismans... as if they were free, they continuously bombarded Lu Changjing through the Sky-breaking Mirror, and saw that Lu Changjing's body was smashed down by another ten centimeters, and he looked even more exhausted.

"He's probably about to give up. Let's hold on a little longer."

"Send out more soldiers above level 20 to drain his energy. We can't delay any longer."

"Mobilize the power of the mysterious formation group and attack him through the sky."

……

The attacks of demons and monsters became more and more fierce. Lu Changjing had been using the soul-stealing technique to understand the thoughts of the demons and monsters outside, and he already had a plan in mind.

So when almost a month had passed, that is, when more than 30 billion demons and monsters had been killed, Lu Changjing decisively fled the Tianzhong area and quickly disappeared at the end of the sky, and his figure could no longer be seen.

"I said he can't hold on any longer, and he only has a month left at most. Hurry up and send the Divine Array Master down to set up the Mysterious Array Group immediately. This time we need to set it up successfully as soon as possible and attack the Tianque location."

"Don't waste time, take the Xuan-level array disk down immediately. Our Xuan-level array masters are already prepared and are waiting for the Shen-level array masters to install it."

"Last time, the Phoenix God King killed too many divine formation masters. It's a bit difficult to gather enough divine formation masters this time."

"It's a pity that we didn't leave the Phoenix God King behind, otherwise we wouldn't have to be so trembling with fear."

……

The demons and monsters outside were busy with their movements, and even while setting up the mysterious array, they deliberately used treasures like the Xuan Lei Zhu to coordinate with the outsiders to attack Tianque.

Although it had a certain effect, it still did not break through the sky, but only made its color lighter and looked thinner.

Thousands of miles away, Lu Changjing merged into the Jiuzhou Xuanzhen group and quietly mobilized part of the force to repair the damaged Tianque. However, it seemed that the Tianque still remained in its weakened state and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.

In fact, the defense where Tianque was located not only did not decrease, but became even stronger. It was just that under the cover of the formation group, it was not seen by the monsters and ghosts outside.

The demons and monsters outside thought that Lu Changjing had gone into hiding to recover, but they didn't know that Lu Changjing had already made a detour back and was observing them. At the same time, he continued to repair the surrounding Jiuzhou Xuan Formation group, making it more and more solid.

A few days later, Lu Changjing discovered that groups of demons and monsters were leaving the Tianzhong area, apparently wanting to destroy the surrounding earth veins, spirit veins and water veins, and further weaken the Jiuzhou barrier.

Lu Changjing naturally would not be polite to these monsters and demons that left the Tianzhong area. He immediately dispatched the masters and gods and demons of the Jiuzhou Alliance to hunt down these monsters and demons that left the Tianzhong area.

After entering the realm of Xuanzun, Lu Changjing had a deep understanding of Xuanzun's strength. He knew that the range of his mysterious skills and arts could not extend beyond the Tianzhong area, and it was even difficult to observe the Tianzhong area.

Therefore, Lu Changjing dared to act with confidence, and even disguised himself and took action himself, killing a large number of semi-profound gods and demons, as well as those top-level demon gods, monster gods, ghost gods, and strange gods... He did not let them go.

All that were left for the Jiuzhou Alliance were some weaker gods and demons and monsters of level ten or so, so that they could practice and hone their combat experience and skills.

The demons and monsters outside soon discovered that the tribesmen who were sent out to destroy the veins of the Jiuzhou land had never returned, and the news that was passed back was that they had encountered warriors from the Jiuzhou Alliance.

However, according to their understanding, the Jiuzhou Alliance did not have so many gods, demons and masters. Why did they send out so many demons and monsters above level ten, but they all disappeared? Could it be that another hidden human leader took action, or that the hiding human Xuanzun took action again?

Seeing that this plan did not have much effect, the demons and monsters also focused their attention on building a group of mysterious formations and destroying Tianque.

Although he still dispatched soldiers to other areas from time to time, the frequency was much less frequent. After all, the Phoenix God King had the ability to capture souls, which allowed him to turn a large number of demons and monsters into his own people, so as to deal with other demons and monsters.

Instead of doing these useless things, it is better to focus.

Soon a month passed, and under the intensive construction of the monsters and demons, the outline of a mysterious formation group began to emerge, but the monsters and demons were no longer prepared to continue.

Although it is only a prototype, it can exert most of its power. With the cooperation of the monsters and demons outside, it should be able to break through the sky.

While the Phoenix God King was still recovering from his injuries, they could just break through the gap in the sky, so they decided to launch the attack in advance.

"let's start!"

Following an order from the Four Seas Dragon Lord, all the demons and monsters inside and outside Tianque became busy, and soon half an hour passed. Just when the Xuan-level demons and monsters outside were preparing to attack, they found that the embryonic form of the Pojun Xuan formation group inside Tianque was blocked again, and they could no longer see the situation inside.

This familiar scene, this familiar picture, and a familiar feeling that leaps into my heart.

The mysterious demons and monsters outside were startled. Could something have happened inside again? Otherwise, what was going on?
A group of Xuan-level demons and monsters also became a little nervous. This was the second time this had happened. Too many resources and treasures were wasted, especially time and energy, which were even more important at this time.

They can no longer waste too much time, nor can they afford to waste any more. The Sealing Heaven Cold Prison is getting closer and closer, and the time left for them is getting less and less.

I hope it’s not what they think!
