The Flying Serpent Flash accelerated in a straight line, and he had already charged into a formation of fire crows. Ji Dong's entire body spun rapidly in the air, and then the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples saw a layer of blurry golden light emit from his body. This light did not cover a large area, only about a hundred meters in diameter. This fire crow formation enveloped about two hundred fire crows.
"What is this?" When the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples saw this, a huge question mark appeared in their minds. But in the next moment, they were dumbfounded.
The two hundred fire crows that were enveloped in the golden light fell down at almost the same time. It was as if their strength had been completely sucked out, and they fell instantly. They were originally about five hundred to eight hundred meters in the sky, but they fell for three hundred meters. All of them struggled in the air in a panic. They only managed to control their bodies when they were about a hundred meters from the ground, and they did not directly fall to the ground. However, these two hundred fire crows did not fly again. They flew to the side dejectedly and left the battlefield.
"Elemental Stripping Demon Territory?" Ah Jin cried out involuntarily.
The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples looked at Ah Jin in confusion. Chen Sixuan asked, "What's the Elemental Stripping Demon Territory?"
Ah Jin said, "This is the Demon Territory that my father is proficient in. Even I was unable to inherit this Demon Territory. Could it be that the Demon Territory can also be passed down? Why would Ji Dong … "
As they were conversing, Ji Dong's figure continued to flash in the air, and the fire crows could no longer organize an effective attack. Even though the Elemental Stripping Demon Territory that Ji Dong had released only had a diameter of a hundred meters, which was far less than the range that his other two Demon Territories could control, wherever the golden light passed, the fire crows fell like harvested wheat. They fell about a hundred meters from the ground before they could barely control their bodies and fly again, but they also left the battle.
That's right. Ji Dong had relied on the Elemental Stripping Demon Territory. With his current cultivation, the battle had actually ended the moment he charged into the fire crows' formation. He had the ability to continuously kill and injure these fire crows in large numbers, but of course, he could not do that. Hence, the scene that the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples saw happened. With the Elemental Stripping Demon Territory, the fire elements of the fire crows themselves and the fire elements around them were forcefully stripped away by Ji Dong. Without the support of mana, flying magical beasts like them would naturally be extremely uncomfortable, which was why they instantly fell. If Ji Dong wanted to kill them, he only needed to strip them more thoroughly, and he would be able to do so. However, he obviously held back, and it just so happened that the fire crows could recover after falling for a few hundred meters. He defeated them without harming them. The ingenuity of his control over the Demon Territory was amazing.
After thousands of fire crows fell from the sky consecutively, Ji Dong stopped his actions. He stretched his body, and a silver light flashed. The Silver Demon Territory of Fantasy instantly spread out and connected to every fire crow. The fire crows' escape and attacks also stopped.
"There's no need to continue." Ji Dong's voice came from the sky.
The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples looked at each other. Fury could not help but say, "Is this still my little junior brother? He's simply a monster. One person, three Demon Territories. Have any of you heard of this before? "
Miao Miao shook her head helplessly and said, "I have to give it to him."
Yao Qianshu chuckled and said, "That's for the best. The stronger Ji Dong is, the stronger we Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples are, isn't that right?"
Ji Dong descended from the sky and landed in front of his companions. Seeing the light on his body gradually fade, the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples all revealed some respect in their eyes. Of course, Chen Sixuan would never have such an expression in her eyes. There was only endless love in her eyes.
Ji Dong's gaze swept across his companions. His gaze was extremely resolute and burning with fighting spirit. He said, "Every Devil Master has their own specialties. It's true that this place is not suitable for you to fight. However, it is precisely under such harsh conditions that it is the best place to train our willpower and actual combat. Will our enemies give us the most suitable battlefield? No, absolutely not. No, definitely not. From the moment we became Heavenly Stem Saints, we already had a heavy burden on our shoulders. We have no way out, and we can't hesitate. We can only continue down this path. The dark heavenly secrets are waiting for us, and the Saints of Darkness are waiting for us with the ten divine weapons. Our efforts will be rewarded, and every bit of effort will increase our chances of survival on the battlefield in the future. Only by persevering will we be able to go further down this path. That's why I don't wish to hear any more complaints. I will grasp each and every one of your limits. The core world is our final training ground before the real war. The tragedy of the Myriad Thunders Purgatory Realm must not repeat itself. Alright, Qianshu, it's your turn. "
This was the first time that Ji Dong had used a commanding tone to speak to his companions. It was only at this moment that he truly acknowledged his identity as the Heavenly Stem Holy Ruler. That was because he had just realized that a team needed a true leader who could convince his companions and lead everyone. Blindly being humble would never allow them to follow orders. The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciple was the core of the team, and he had to take on this responsibility. Only then could the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples truly unite. When he said these words, Ji Dong was like a marshal commanding thousands of troops. His infectious and passionate voice made everyone's blood boil.
Yao Qianshu didn't say anything else. He nodded forcefully at Hyōhime, and a jade-like turquoise light erupted from his body.
Fury silently walked back to the all-elemental condensation matrix on the ground and sat down to cultivate and recover mana. The others did the same. There was no longer any slacking in their eyes, only determination.
The theory behind the all-elemental condensation matrix was the same as the unrestricted fixed teleportation matrix they had created outside Mount Ahlmans. Under the leadership of Ji Dong, the ten of them had specially created such a condensation matrix here and branded it on the ground.
With the existence of this all-elemental condensation matrix, the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples could absorb mana of various attributes. After all, this was only the second layer of the core world. Although the mana of various attributes was thinner than the outside world, it was not completely non-existent.
The trial of the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples continued, and so did the Fire Crow Formation of the powerhouses of the Fire Crow Tribe. In the sky, there was never a moment of pause. The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples took turns to enter the battlefield, and the four Fire Crow Formations also took turns to rest. Even when Ji Dong was mentally exhausted, he would only rest for a while before continuing the trial. The Fire Crow Formation would continue to face the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples.
The days passed by in this continuous cultivation. The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples had never experienced such intense cultivation before. While taking turns to rest and recover mana, their minds were filled with thoughts of how they could continue to win the battle. During the battle, they endured the immense pressure and tried their best to hold on for as long as possible.
As for Ji Dong, he imprinted all kinds of battle tactics in the minds of the Fire Crows. The four Fire Crow Formations in front of him were only the core of the entire Fire Crow Tribe. What he wanted to do was to train the entire Fire Crow Tribe into an invincible race for aerial combat. What he was training now was to train all the future commanders of this invincible race for aerial combat.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed. It had been 40 days since the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples came to the core world.
"Boom …" Rocks flew in all directions amidst the violent explosions. The dark red rocks on the ground seemed to have come to life as they surged like waves in the sea.
In the sky, the Fire Crow Formation continuously shot down beams of blinding red light, bombarding the surging rocks as if they were searching for something.
"Good job, Lang Tianyi's control of the earth has improved again." Fury, who was watching the battle, had a look of admiration in his eyes. The one currently fighting was the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciple, Lang Tianyi. However, he was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield. The reason was simple: Lang Tianyi was hiding in the surging sea of rocks. This was his unique Demon Domain — Rock Control.
The ground in the core world, especially in this place, was made of rocks. Therefore, he could naturally control these rocks like a fish in water. Lang Tianyi's cultivation had already broken through the Eight Crowns realm, so he naturally had his own Demon Domain. He did his best to shrink the size of the Demon Domain and increase the density of the Demon Domain's mana to interfere with Ji Dong's lock on him. After more than a month of battle, the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples had thought of all kinds of ways to resist Ji Dong's Soul Suppression. Almost everyone had their own method. They were all very clear that only by escaping from Ji Dong's lock on them would they have a chance at victory.
Ji Dong was still standing on a hill in the distance with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed. One could vaguely see a layer of faint silver light around his body.
The thousand Fire Crows in the air were constantly changing their positions and forming different formations. They were neat and uniform. This was the result of countless tempering. At the same time, Ji Dong could finally control a thousand Fire Crows at the same time as if they were his own arms.
Right now, he was controlling the Fire Crows in groups of a hundred, and they were bombarding the ground with mana. Indeed, under Lang Tianyi's Demon Domain, Ji Dong couldn't completely detect Lang Tianyi's location, but he could find the general area that Lang Tianyi was moving in. This was enough for Ji Dong. Every round of ten mana bombardment made Lang Tianyi exhausted. This level of attack naturally couldn't harm him, but he was very clear that if he was hit by any of the attacks, Ji Dong would be able to lock on to his position. Then, in the next moment, ten waves of mana would merge into one, and the Fire Crows would attack with all their might.
The improvement of the Fire Crows wasn't just in terms of coordination. At the same time, the Fire Crows were also constantly evolving under Ji Dong's guidance. Their brains seemed to have been connected by Ji Dong's soul. Whether it was in terms of mana absorption, mana output, or the strength of their own mana, they were all incomparable to when the Heavenly Stem Saints had first arrived. This could be seen from the fact that all the Fire Crows had evolved to the Fire Crow Lord level.
The most exaggerated was still the Fire Raven King. He was no longer the useless elder of the Flaming Bar Church from before. After devouring the Fire Owl Lord's crystal core and gradually absorbing it, the Fire Raven King's cultivation had risen to the level of a Class 9 Magical Beast. Although the crystal core couldn't help him break through to Class 10, Class 9 was already an invincible existence in the first few levels of the core world. To a race, having a powerful leader meant that the entire race was powerful.
Just as Lang Tianyi was about to be unable to withstand the repeated attacks of the Fire Raven Formation and was about to be located, Ji Dong suddenly opened his eyes from atop the small hill. The Fire Raven King's attacks also stopped. It wasn't just the Fire Raven that was training with Lang Tianyi that had stopped attacking him. The other three groups of Fire Ravens resting not too far away also rose into the air at the same time, instantly forming four large formations with the group that had been in the air. Four thousand Fire Ravens formed a hemispherical formation in the air, their gazes fixed in the direction of the entrance.
Ever since the Fire Owl Lord had been killed by Ji Dong that day, the first two levels of the core world had remained the same. The Fire Ravens continued to toss the Fire Essence Fruits that the fire spirits had planted into the entrance of the third floor. According to the Fire Raven King, as long as they did this, the Fire Monkeys would naturally receive the fruits from the third floor. The Fire Essence Fruits themselves wouldn't be affected by the poisonous gas in the tunnel.
Over the past month or so, no one from the third floor had ever come to the entrance. At this moment, Ji Dong was controlling the four Fire Crow Grand Formations to simultaneously target the entrance to the third floor. It was obvious that he had sensed something.
The Heavenly Stem disciples all ended their training, and Lang Tianyi also revealed himself from within the boulder, looking towards the entrance as well. Was it a new envoy from the Flaming Bar?
At this moment, an exceedingly powerful spiritual message gushed out from the entrance of the third floor and instantly spread within a square kilometer. "Who dares kill my younger brother? Weak and ignorant Fire Ravens, it will be difficult to quell the hatred in my heart if I don't slaughter all of you."
The light in the Fire Raven King's eyes changed when he realized that it wasn't a envoy from the Flaming Bar, but he didn't show any signs of cowardice. He was now eight meters long and had a wingspan of more than ten meters. He'd become an exceedingly powerful rank nine Fire Raven. Not to mention, he had Ji Dong behind him, so he had no reason to be afraid.
A blinding red light suddenly exploded from the entrance of the third floor. It was obvious that the practitioner who'd sent out the spiritual presence had also sensed the seriousness of the situation. The blinding red light instantly transformed into a pillar of fire ten meters in diameter and shot out. The fire elements in the air suddenly retracted, as if they'd been completely absorbed by the pillar. It aimed straight for the Fire Raven King.
The four thousand Fire Ravens had already launched a collective counterattack without Ji Dong needing to control them.
