More than seven million cultivators from the Devil Ridge's core region were gathered in this direction. There were many formations and spirit weapons in the sky and on the ground, sealing the area tightly. Such a line of defense could not be said to be weak.
However, when the Vermilion Bird's figure swept past, this solid line of defense was easily torn apart like paper.
The cultivators from the Devil Ridge who were pulling the spirit net to cover the Vermilion Bird were the first to bear the brunt. Before they could completely get close, their clothes and hair were burned, and their protective spirit power did not have the slightest effect.
At this moment, they finally realized that a great disaster was about to befall them. They wanted to turn around and run, but it was already too late.
The Vermilion Bird's wings flapped slightly, and its slender and elegant figure crossed the barrier of space, enveloping them in orange-red flames.
Screams rang out, and figures fell down like raindrops, dying on the spot before they completely landed.
More and more cultivators from the Devil Ridge were engulfed by the orange-red flames. Even the powerful cultivators on the Spirit Stream List were as weak as ants in front of such means.
The dense formation was originally to better deal with the charging formation of the Grand Sky Alliance, but at this moment, it became the biggest failure.
The Vermilion Bird's figure swept past the most concentrated place of the crowd, and the scorching power plowed out a death zone in the air and on the ground as it crashed into the Forest of a Thousand Poisons.
Its power did not diminish, and the poisonous miasma that pervaded the Forest of a Thousand Poisons all year round was cleared out. Wherever the Vermilion Bird passed, the poisonous miasma disappeared without a trace.
Looking down from the sky, outside the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, the originally tight line of defense of the Devil Ridge now had a gap that was hundreds of feet wide. There was no one in the gap, and on both sides of the gap were the horrified cultivators of the Devil Ridge. Pairs of eyes trembled as they looked at the orange-red figure that crashed into the Forest of a Thousand Poisons.
They were able to survive not because they were strong enough, but because they were lucky enough not to be affected by the huge figure.
As for the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators who were affected, all of them were charred black and had lost all their vitality.
In just a dozen breaths of time, more than two hundred cultivators of the Devil Ridge had been killed or injured! Even a few cultivators on the Spirit Stream List had died, including Wu Beihan, who was ranked thirty-third.
After all, he was the strongest person on the surface, so the moment the Vermilion Bird appeared, he did not choose to hide or escape. Instead, he ordered the cultivators around him to attack.
However, he underestimated the strength of the Fire Phoenix. When the orange figure rushed in front of him, it was already too late to run.
He left peacefully.
The clear and resonant cry rang out once again. After the Vermillion Bird crashed into the Myriad Poisons Forest for several miles, it suddenly collapsed and turned into specks of fluorescent light.
Amidst the dancing fluorescent lights in the sky, a figure fell straight down.
"It's Lu Yiye!" A Myriad Devil Ridge cultivator exclaimed in a trembling voice.
The Vermillion Bird of the Four Sacred Beasts was created by Lu Ye. Now that the Vermillion Bird was gone, Lu Ye's figure was naturally revealed. But looking at his current situation, it seemed … he wasn't doing very well?
"He's not going to make it!" Someone shouted in surprise.
More than two hundred cultivators from the core circle of Myriad Demons Ridge were killed by such a shocking method. Specks of red light drifted out of the corpses and converged into a belt of light, drifting towards the place where Lu Ye landed.
But was this really something that a Spirit Stream Stage cultivator could casually use?
At this level of cultivation, who didn't understand the principle that the stronger the means, the greater the price.
Although they didn't know why Lu Yiye was able to use such a method, he was undoubtedly an arrow at the end of its flight. Perhaps he had even suffered a great backlash.
Right now, he was definitely at his weakest. This could be seen from his sorry figure falling down.
The boundless fear just now was suddenly replaced by great surprise. All the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators saw that this was an opportunity.
A chance to kill Lu Ye!
Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect was a moving treasure trove. Whoever killed him would be able to enjoy endless wealth in the future.
Therefore, after a short pause, all the surviving Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators became excited.
However, before they could rush into the Myriad Poisons Forest to search for Lu Ye, the sound of swords suddenly rang out.
Someone shouted, "The Grand Heaven Alliance is here!"
The Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators who were attracted by Lu Ye turned their heads to look. More than ten sword lunatics from the North Profound Sword Sect formed a sword formation. Their flying swords were like dragons as they attacked this side. Behind these sword lunatics were three to four hundred Grand Heaven Alliance cultivators.
The appearance of the Vermilion Bird was indeed shocking. However, the Grand Heaven Alliance wasn't the one being attacked after all. Therefore, they came back to their senses before the Myriad Demons Ridge.
Yu Lianzhou and the others immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to attack the Myriad Demons Ridge. When the Vermilion Bird's figure crashed into the Myriad Poisons Forest, they launched an attack on the panicked enemy.
A huge battle suddenly broke out.
There were thousands of Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators gathered inside and outside the Myriad Poisons Forest. There were more than seven hundred people in this direction. Even though some of them had died just now, the Myriad Demons Ridge still had the advantage in terms of numbers.
However, sword cultivators were the best at killing. Especially when more than ten sword cultivators formed a huge sword formation, their killing power increased greatly. The sword dragon formed by thousands of flying swords crashed into the crowd and immediately turned into a sharp weapon that minced flesh. Screams rose and fell continuously as blood and broken limbs flew everywhere.
Immediately after this sword formation, more than three hundred Grand Heaven Alliance cultivators used various methods to kill the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators.
If the previous arrangements were still there, the Myriad Demons Ridge could still rely on them to turn the situation around. However, when the Vermilion Bird's figure swept past this area, all the arrays and methods set up in advance were destroyed.
At this moment, the only thing the Myriad Demons Ridge could rely on was their advantage in numbers.
This small advantage couldn't stop the Grand Heaven Alliance's attack at all. Under the pressure, the Myriad Demons Ridge couldn't resist for a while. It wasn't until a group of cultivators heard the commotion and came to help that the momentum of the Grand Heaven Alliance's attack was stopped.
The hundreds of people from the Grand Heaven Alliance didn't linger in the battle. After taking advantage of the situation, they immediately ran away. The Myriad Demons Ridge chased after them vigorously …
Just as the two sides were fighting, Lu Ye was dashing in the Myriad Poisons Forest with blood all over his body. His aura was weak.
He only felt that his consciousness was blurry at this moment. He was exhausted, and his spiritual power was almost dried up. If he hadn't drunk a bottle of Resting Fruit Wine before using the Fire Phoenix, he would have been exhausted.
Countless wounds appeared on his skin, and even the flesh inside his body was damaged.
He secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had stored a lot of spiritual power with the five Spirit Storage Spirit Runes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use the Fire Phoenix this time.
This spirit rune was too taxing on his spiritual power and mind. It wasn't something a cultivator of his level could use.
Although he successfully used it in the end, the Fire Phoenix constructed wasn't under his control at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed into the Myriad Poisons Forest and would have killed the hundreds of Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators there.
Not long after he crashed into the Myriad Poisons Forest, the Fire Phoenix collapsed. It wasn't that its power was exhausted, but that he couldn't hold on anymore. If he held on any longer, Lu Ye felt that he would die.
If he wanted to easily construct this huge spirit rune and control it perfectly, Lu Ye estimated that he would have to reach the Cloud River Realm for it to be possible … but it was just a possibility.
The Resting Fruit Wine continued to work, and the spiritual power he consumed was quickly replenished. However, the aftereffects of using the Fire Phoenix were quickly showing.
He didn't dare to stay in place because there were traces of Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators in the Myriad Poisons Forest. His figure was so obvious when he fell just now, so someone must have come to find him.
If he encountered a cultivator from the Myriad Demons Ridge at this time, Lu Ye estimated that he wouldn't have a good ending. The strength he could display now would be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, he had already sent a message to Yiyi in advance, and Yiyi was guiding the giant armor toward him. Moreover, the Myriad Poisons Forest was filled with poisonous miasma, blocking one's vision. It wouldn't be easy for the cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge to find him in such an environment. As long as he was careful enough, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Just as he was thinking about this, a heavenly secret suddenly descended from the heavens. Following that, a huge translucent list appeared in the sky above his head.
The list was engraved with the names and backgrounds of 100 people. It was the famous Spirit Stream List.
Lu Ye, who was running away, stiffened.
The situation … didn't seem too good!
Lu Ye naturally had some understanding of the Spirit Stream List. According to her Fourth Senior Brother, cultivators who made it onto the Spirit Stream List for the first time would be able to sense the omnipresent Fate of Heaven. If one's performance was outstanding enough, the Fate of Heaven would have a unique way of highlighting the person who made it onto the list. It could be considered a form of recognition and reward from the Fate of Heaven.
However, since ancient times, there weren't many people who were truly recognized and rewarded by the Heavenly Secret. According to the proportion of people on the list, it was one in ten thousand. Such a person would only appear once every few years.
While Lu Ye was still thinking about carefully concealing his whereabouts, the translucent Spiritual Stream List suddenly unfurled above his head like a flag. As long as one was not blind, they should be able to see the list within a radius of a hundred miles.
It couldn't be …
It couldn't be …
How could it be …
Under the gazes of countless people, five names on the Spirit Stream List suddenly dimmed, before turning into fluorescent light and dissipating. This meant that these five people had either advanced to the Cloud River Realm or died.
At the thirty-third position, a row of golden words suddenly appeared.
Lu Yiye, Force Province's Jade Blood Sect, Seventh Order Heaven Grade!
Immediately after that, everyone below the thirty-third position was moved up by one position. At the empty position at the end of the list, there were a few more lines of words, indicating the names, origins, and cultivation of the new people on the list.
The huge Spirit Stream List hung high in the sky. At this moment, all the cultivators within a hundred kilometres could clearly see it. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the thirty-third row of words, especially the last five words.
Seventh Order Heaven Grade!
How dazzling!
Since ancient times, the masters on the Spirit Stream List were all at the Ninth Order Heaven Grade. Only in the past decade or so did Li Baxian appear, occupying the top ten positions with his Eighth Order Heaven Grade cultivation. However, Li Baxian was different. He had fallen from the Ninth Order Heaven Grade. Even if he had opened a Spirit Aperture, his foundation was still there. Furthermore, his talent was extraordinary, allowing him to control a hundred swords. Even the Northern Profound Sword Sect's Sword Master had thought of accepting him as a disciple.
Tian Qi's cultivation being on the Spirit Stream List was unprecedented!
