Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1714: Chapter 1326: Casualties (Not Yet Finished)

“Why has the Cave Abyss Sect set up defenses here?!”

Amidst the dense tide of Water Devils, several Heavenly Immortals from the Sea Clan were seated, looking at the majestic Immortal City not far away, its spirit light shimmering, and their expressions were very grim.

“Could it be that the human race has already learned of our plan, so they have prepared countermeasures in advance?”

Another Heavenly Immortal frowned and said, “We’ve been so secretive, yet someone leaked the information, or did the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance expose themselves?”

Initially, they thought they could easily capture a few key locations and directly gain the advantage, but now it seems a bloody battle is inevitable!

“I wonder how the situation is on the other battlefields, and whether they’re facing the same issues as we are.”

“Enough!” The leading member of the Dragon Tribe, Ao Su, interrupted them and said, “These matters can be investigated later. Right now, the most crucial thing is to solve this checkpoint before us.”

“Joining forces with the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance and the Devil Race, we might only have this one chance to keep the Divine Path at bay. If we miss it, it might never come again. We must muster all our strength to breach this Immortal City, reclaim the Nearshore Area, and then advance into the water systems of Cave Abyss State!”

“Yes!”

The other Heavenly Immortals understood how rare this opportunity was. Even if it required a great sacrifice, they were determined to reclaim the Nearshore Area!

This was not just to expand the living space for the Sea Clan but also to gather more luck.

“Kill! Reclaim our rightful seas!”

Ao Su shouted loudly, rushing forward like an arrow leaving the bow, followed by hundreds of thousands of Water Devils, resembling a massive black wave with overwhelming might, heading towards the Immortal City standing on the island.

Boom——

Upon contact, the impact generated by the collision of numerous divine powers and spells shook the space, causing slight tremors.

Both sides’ Heavenly Immortals tacitly flew into the sky to avoid affecting the rest of the battlefield.

“Your plan has already failed! Even with the alliance of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance and the Devil Race, you can’t achieve your aim. Retreat now to reduce some casualties.”

“Hmph! The battle has just begun, and you’re already boasting shamelessly. Aren’t you afraid it will backfire on you later?”

Words were pointless!

The two quickly engaged in battle, every move aiming for the kill. But being both Heavenly Immortals, their abilities were similar, and it seemed unlikely that a winner would emerge quickly.

The scenario on other Heavenly Immortal battlefields was much the same, with enormous power yet unable to defeat the opponent, stuck in a stalemate.

It was then a matter of seeing who made fewer mistakes during the battle or who first seized an opponent’s weakness, as they were the ones who might secure victory.

Cultivators and Water Devils of other realms also engaged in fierce slaughter. Though their strength wasn’t as formidable as the Heavenly Immortals, their vast numbers created a significant impact.

Both sides had their respective advantages. Cultivators had the protection of a formation, allowing them to focus solely on attacking without worrying about defense, while the Water Devils outnumbered the Cultivators several times over, with sheer strength being slightly superior.

For now, the two sides were evenly matched, and a victory seemed unlikely to be decided quickly.

Facing the current stalemate, the reactions of the Cave Abyss Sect and the Sea Clan were completely different.

The Cave Abyss Sect was quite worried about being overrun. If they couldn’t withstand the assault and let the Water Devils in, they would face even greater pressure.

In contrast, the Sea Clan wasn’t concerned about victory in any single battlefield. As long as they succeeded in one area, it would serve as a base to launch full-scale attacks on both sides, gradually reclaiming the Nearshore Area.

Two hours after the great battle erupted, the surface of the sea was littered with countless bodies of Water Devils, and the blood staining the nearby sea a deep red was quite frightening.

On the side of the Cave Abyss Sect, there were also casualties, mostly due to excessive mana depletion, leading to injuries or even deaths from their meridians being overwhelmed.

There was no help for it—they were outnumbered and faced the Water Devils’ relentless and frenzied assault. Maintaining the formation without allowing it to be breached left no enough time for them to recover, leading to constant replacements.

Fortunately, by this time, cultivators had started arriving to aid them.

Most of these cultivators were from affiliated forces and Loose Cultivators, some compelled, others hoping to leverage this for resources.

At this point, Cave Abyss Sect disciples finally had enough time to recover, cooling down the meridians and dantian, easing their conditions somewhat.

If reinforcements had arrived any later, many would have suffered significant casualties due to their meridians and dantian being unable to withstand the strain.

Luckily, the worst-case scenario didn’t materialize, and the crisis passed with no major incident.

…

As for the East Continent Immortal Tao, it included forces as cautious as the Cave Abyss Sect, and others like the Tianshan Sect, which only guarded one side, neglecting the western side’s Devil Beasts.

Thus, when the Devil Race launched their attack, they swept through and captured several Immortal Cities consecutively. By the time they reacted, the front line had been pushed hundreds of miles forward, exposing the entire Tianshan State to their offensive threats!

As for those forces that completely ignored the analysis of the Heavenly Immortals on the northern battlefield, they deserved to perish.

“The Devil Race has joined forces with them too?”

The Tianshan Sect Leader received the news and was utterly dismayed, realizing that despite all calculations, such a significant oversight had occurred.

But now wasn’t the time to assign blame. They had to figure out a way to fight off those Devil Beasts or drive them away, and settle accounts afterward.
