The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1128: Chapter 1105: Shifting Situation, Shen Mo Breaks Through

As the war persists, various spiritual resources are being consumed heavily!

The Red Flame Sect has brought out its accumulated resources over the years and has accelerated the collection of properties and resources from places like Green Cloud Cave and Five Dragon Mountain. Large quantities of raw materials are refined into finished elixirs, magic artifacts, and talismans, continually supplied to the cultivators participating in the battle.

Shortly after the fourteen demonic caves descended upon the Corpse Mountain Range, Zhao Lingyin halted her cultivation and returned from the Lower Realm to Five Dragon Mountain.

Although she possesses a Class VI puppet celestial maid capable of exerting combat power comparable to early-stage Formless Realm, she herself is not adept at battle, and currently, the Corpse Mountain Range has gathered numerous Formless Realm grandmasters, making her presence inconsequential.

Therefore, neither Shen Mo nor the temporary decision-making body composed of numerous True Immortals agreed to her request to join the battle, only assigning her the task of refining high-grade elixirs...

Over the years, Zhao Lingyin has never stopped cultivating in the Alchemy Path. Now, she is not far from Grade six, and among the alchemy masters of the Red Flame Sect, Li Mountain Elixir Sect, Heaven Phoenix Palace, and other forces of Five Dragon Mountain, her alchemy accomplishment is considered foremost. Compared to personally slaying Heavenly Demons on the battlefield, refining elixirs in the rear allows her to fully utilize her strengths and can play a greater role in the development of the situation.

After all, for cultivators with higher realms, low-class elixirs have little effect; they require higher-grade elixirs.

Due to the increasing concentration of demonic Qi pervading the Corpse Mountain Range, the probability of cultivators developing heart demons is also growing. Even Divine Bridge and Formless Realm grandmasters might, at a moment of mental vulnerability, develop heart demons and become demon-corrupted by the new type of heavenly demon.

The cultivator side urgently needs a large number of high-grade Demon Suppressing Pills, Taixu Pills, and Exorcism Pills to weaken the effect of demonic Qi on themselves as much as possible, preventing heart demons from causing them to fall into demonic possession!

Moreover, mutated Heavenly Demons on the battlefield originate from different races, including demon-corrupted cultivators, demon-corrupted True Dragons, demon-corrupted Soul Ghosts, demon-corrupted demonic beasts, demon-corrupted Spiritual Monsters, and others.

This gives them drastically different combat styles, enabling them to employ various magical abilities and lethal techniques. Once a great cultivator is injured by a Heavenly Demon, different elixirs corresponding to the types of injuries are needed for healing!

Additionally, elixirs to restore True Yuan Mana are even more in demand...

Almost every moment after returning from Dragon Heart Realm, Zhao Lingyin has been tirelessly refining high-grade elixirs, without a moment of leisure.

The other alchemists, forgemasters, and talisman makers on Five Dragon Mountain, cultivators with certain proficiency in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, are generally in similar states, working hard as if wishing they possessed Three-headed Six-armed bodies or multiple incarnations. After the war began, they couldn’t even spare time for meditation to recover their mana, relying on consuming elixirs to sustain themselves.

Whenever large-scale wars occur in the cultivation world, such cultivators are often well-protected to prevent external disturbances. Unless it’s a matter of life and death, they aren’t sent to the front lines to fight.

However, after a major battle, these cultivators providing logistical support for the front lines often experience irreparable damage to their soul bodies or even direct death and fall due to various reasons like exhaustion, depletion of primality, or mana runaway, with the casualty rate equally astonishing.

With countless cultivators working together, they finally curbed the further spread of the demon disaster.

However, the overall situation still doesn’t look too optimistic.

The Heavenly Demons surging from the fourteen demonic caves seem endless, even though the cultivators slaughter them massively, their scale and overall strength continue to grow.

With the support of Shen Mo’s mana, the Soul Refining Flag constantly refines the Heavenly Demons, but it also appears somewhat insufficient. After many Heavenly Demons fall, their corpses cannot be recovered, severing the dispersion of the primality of Heavenly Demons, still polluting this world without end!

So far, no Seventh Rank Heavenly Demon has walked out from the demonic caves.

The True Immortal figures who came to the Corpse Mountain Range to eradicate demons and uphold the way, besides providing immortal power to augment the Earth Yuan Array’s formation might, are also resting and waiting quietly for the day when the Seventh Rank Heavenly Demon takes action... Everyone knows this day won’t be too far away.

This battle has two key nodes.

The Seventh Rank Heavenly Demons within the demonic caves are indifferent to the fate of their kind, even high-class Heavenly Demons are viewed as merely more massive primality of Heavenly Demon.

If the Demon Tide continues to expand, it can further corrupt the heaven and earth where the Corpse Mountain Range is located. Once this world is completely transformed into a Demon Zone, even when the Seventh Order Intermediate Stage Heavenly Demon leaves the demonic caves, it can possess strength comparable to the Divinity, while the Seventh Order early-stage Heavenly Demon would have strength comparable to Human Immortal and Earth Immortal.

Therefore, as long as the cultivator side cannot eradicate the dissipating primality of Heavenly Demons in a short period, it doesn’t matter how many Heavenly Demons below Seventh Order die; they might even actively sacrifice more Heavenly Demons to accelerate the corruption of the heavens and earth.

Once the Corpse Mountain Range is fully transformed into a Demon Zone, the Seventh Rank Heavenly Demons from the fourteen demonic caves will take action!

The other critical node is above the Earth Yuan Array.

Currently, there are a total of thirty-seven stationed on various Immortal Mountains within the big array, eight of which have reached the level of Earth Immortal, creating a stalemate with the demonic caves.

Years ago, during the demon disaster suppression battle at Dongjie Continent, Jade Spring Fairy, Master Jinguang, Wu Meng, and five other top-tier Earth Immortal experts used an incomplete Earth Array prototype to resist Chunyang Zi with a Seventh Order Intermediate Stage state and a demonic cave from the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Now, the Red Flame Sect’s Earth Yuan Array has completed the Seventy-two Earth Fiends Method, and the Corpse Mountain Range has yet to become a Demon Zone, but the strength and number of Heavenly Demon experts and demonic caves cannot be compared to those days.
