The Red River Valley was extremely vast with winding mountain ranges and towering ancient trees. It was a place that was easy to defend and hard to attack.
Currently, the Sun had just risen, shedding down faint gold light that made the silhouette sitting on top of the mountain peak look like a God who was above all.
It was Ling Xian.
His eyes were tightly closed as he absorbed the spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth to increase his cultivation.
Sadly, the effect was minimal. Like a stone that fell into the ocean, it didn't even create a ripple.
This was something that couldn't be helped. After reaching the seventh level, cultivation became even more difficult. If he relied solely on breathing spiritual energy, it would take him hundreds of years to break through a small realm.
Therefore, Ling Xian felt a sense of urgency. Even though he had hundreds of years to live, don't forget, he had the Curse of Heaven Abyss inside him.
This curse was terrifying and vicious. It would slowly eat away at his lifespan. Especially after consuming the Hundred Steps Technique, its power increased.
Based on Ling Xian's estimation, for every day that passes, the Curse of Heaven Abyss will eat away four days of his lifespan. In other words, one day for others is equivalent to five days for him.
Therefore, he naturally felt a sense of urgency. However, he also understood that whether it was breaking through or finding medicine, it all depended on luck and could not be rushed.
"I will let nature take its course. The most important thing now is to deal with the demonic house."
Ling Xian softly sighed. Thinking about the demonic house, he couldn't help but frown.
It had been half a year since the last battle. In this half a year, the demonic house didn't send any troops here. It was as if they had forgotten about the Red River Valley.
However, the situation at the other nine battlefields was getting more and more serious. Every time there was news, the situation was getting worse.
In the face of the strange and powerful Demon Sect, the allied forces were helpless and were forced to retreat. If they didn't have the advantage in numbers, the other nine battlefields would've collapsed a long time ago.
But based on the current situation, it was only a matter of time before they collapsed. Unless they could solve the demonic house's strange methods.
"The situation is serious. The demons' methods are far too strange and unfamiliar. I have no idea where to start."
Thinking about the news from the other nine battlefields, Ling Xian sighed deeply and was very worried.
The demonic house was a local force of the Xuan Wu Continent. No matter how strange their methods were, the other forces would at least know about them and wouldn't have been beaten so badly. But the reality was that they were beaten to the point of not being able to fight back at all. This proved that those strange abilities were from the Heavenly Demons.
"I hope all forces can give up their selfishness and unite against the enemy." Ling Xian mumbled to himself.
Although the battle had yet to reach a critical moment, it was already very grim. If the various major powers harbored selfish motives, they would not be able to fight this battle.
Just as he was frowning and deep in thought, a silver dragon pierced through the clouds and the moment it landed, it transformed into a human form. It was the white-robed man.
He furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, "Something big has happened!"
"What is it?" Ling Xian frowned.
"The evil cult has increased their forces in the nine battlefields. By the looks of it, even if they don't want to fight to the death, they want to crush the allied forces in the nine battlefields in one go," the white-robed man said concisely.
"That doesn't make sense. Although the Demon Sect is powerful, in terms of the number of top powerhouses, the allied forces still have the advantage."
"It's only because of selfishness that the major forces haven't gone all out."
"So, the method that is beneficial to the evil cult is to fight a war of attrition and decide the victor. It will only force the forces of power to cast aside their selfishness, and it will not bring any benefits to the evil cult."
Ling Xian was suspicious and could not understand the evil cult's plan.
"You are right. But, that's ancient history."
The white-robed man smiled bitterly, "Guess, how many powerhouses did the evil cult send out?"
"Why are you asking me to guess at a time like this? Hurry up and tell me. "Ling Xian frowned and his tone turned heavier.
"Speaking of which, this is truly unbelievable. How can the evil cult have so many Dao Reasoning powerhouses?"
The white-robed man exclaimed, "The evil cult has sent 10 Dao Reasoning powerhouses to every battlefield. In other words, there are 90 of them."
"90 Dao Reasoning powerhouses?" Ling Xian's body shook. Even with his mentality, he was shocked.
Those were rare cultivators of the seventh level. They weren't small cultivators that could be found everywhere. Even if all the top forces combined their forces, there wouldn't be more than 90 of them.
Though the evil cult has a lot of resources, they were merely a force after all. How could they have 90 Dao Reasoning powerhouses?
"That's impossible. Though the evil cult has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, in terms of resources, no other force can compare."
"In terms of the number of top powerhouses, no other force can compare."
"But 90 Dao Reasoning Realm experts, isn't that too unbelievable?"
Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. He had spent some time in the demonic cult and was certain that there were at most 30 Dao Reasoning powerhouses.
Over the past two years, some have died. It would be good if there were 20 of them left. How could there be 90?
"I find it hard to believe as well. It's like a fairy tale. But this is absolutely true."
The white-robed man smiled bitterly, "90 Dao Reasoning powerhouses. Not a single one is missing. They are all humans with flesh and blood. They are not puppets or beasts."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's frown deepened. He was certain that there were at most 20 cultivators of the seventh level left. Where did the remaining 70 come from?
Could it be the demons from the outside world?
Thinking of this possibility, Ling Xian's heart dropped and his face darkened.
If his guess was correct, then the problem was even more serious.
Though Ling Xian didn't know what the demons from the outside world were planning, he knew that once they enter the Xuan Wu Continent, something bad will happen!
"Adding up the nine battlefields, there were originally 18 Dao Reasoning powerhouses. Now, there are 108."
"This is an unbelievable number. Even if all the different forces combine their forces, they may not be able to gather 100 Dao Reasoning powerhouses."
"Therefore, the Supreme Headmasters of the various forces have given orders for us to go and help."
The man in white sighed, revealing his hopelessness.
108 Dao Reasoning powerhouses. This number was far too terrifying. Anyone would feel hopeless.
"Could it be that there are no eighth level powerhouses in the Xuan Wu Continent?" Ling Xian frowned.
"Maybe there are, maybe there aren't. But one thing is for sure, no eighth level powerhouses have appeared."
The man in white said helplessly, "In other words, we have to fight to the death."
"Fight to the death … what a heavy word." Ling Xian sighed, "If you all leave, what about the Red River Valley? What if the demonic cult is trying to lure us away? "
"108 Dao Reasoning powerhouses are already in formation. Even if they are trying to lure us away, we have no choice but to fall for it."
"The nine battlefields are all very important. If the demonic cult takes over, the situation will be even more dangerous."
"Plus, this could be the last battle. There is no such thing as luring us away."
The man in white bitterly smiled. It was obvious he didn't have much hope.
At this, Ling Xian thought about it and said in a low voice, "I will go with you."
"No, you have to guard this place."
The man in white rejected, "The Red River Valley is also very important. We have to leave a Dao Reasoning cultivator here. You, without a doubt, are the best choice."
"Perhaps my Buddha's relic can help," Ling Xian said.
"It's useless. Ever since you broke that special technique, that technique never appeared again."
The man in white sighed, "So, you should stay."
