Chapter 2075 - One Man Turns the Tide of Battle

Chapter 2075: One Man Turns the Tide of Battle

At the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect.

The raucous battlefield had fallen into a deathly silence.

Following that unimaginable burst of explosions, the Snow Ghouls on the battlefield were either dead or shocked beyond words, just like all of the cultivators.

Xuanyuan Cheng had presented a dazzling fireworks display to the Kingdom of the Nine States. In the process, he had almost wiped out the entire opposition army and astonished all of his comrades.

The bombardment from the Starfire Battleship had previously only alleviated the pressure on their shoulders, but they were still suffering casualties at quite a fast rate. They were unsure of whether they would be able to hold on against the relentless waves of enemies.

However, following that spectacular attack, all of the Snow Ghouls had self-detonated, and there weren’t even any enemies left.

How was Xuanyuan Cheng able to pilot the Starfire Battleship and unleash such a fearsome barrage of attacks?

There were only just over a thousand Snow Ghouls left alive on the battlefield. They had been reduced from tens of millions to barely over a thousand, equating to a survival rate of less than one in ten thousand. All those who had survived were black Snow Ghouls or particularly powerful white Snow Ghouls, but all of them had sustained wounds as well.

The vicious and bloodthirsty beasts stood rooted to the spot like deer staring into headlights. They had clearly been completely stupefied by the scenes that had just unfolded.

What was going on?

How had so many of them disappeared just like that?

Was this a joke?!

Bai Ling was also very astonished, but she was just barely able to understand what had happened.

The Starfire Battleship had been transformed into an exceptional Purple Star technological product. In terms of pure destructive power, it could reach the very pinnacle of the Dao Integration Stage. Furthermore, Xuanyuan Cheng’s power was a perfect match for the Starfire Battleship, so it was not impossible for his power to be enhanced by the battleship to create such devastating attacks.

However, she shuddered to imagine the price that he would have had to pay to achieve all that…

Not just Bai Ling, but most of the other cultivators present had also begun to realize something.

The Starfire Battleship that once glowed as bright as the sun had quickly dimmed and continued to hover in the sky like a massive spent match.

Shu Honglan rose into the air and flew toward the Starfire Battleship without any regard for her own safety.

“It can’t be… You’ll be fine…”

She rushed to the control cabin, and her eyes widened when she caught sight of the man inside. She was completely rooted to the spot, and her mind went blank.

The cabin door was slowly opened.

Xuanyuan Cheng hobbled out with difficulty before making his way over to Shu Honglan. He wiped the tears from her gorgeous features and said in a soft voice, “Don’t cry… I’m not dead yet, am I?”

“But you… You… Waah…” Shu Honglan couldn’t help but burst into tears as she held the man before her tightly in her arms. Xuanyuan Cheng had indeed emerged alive, but he had lost his entire cultivation base and had been reduced to a shriveled old man.

Liu Qianhuan, Su Qianyun, Tang Ximen, and the others also rushed in at that moment. They were also rooted to the spot by the sight of the elderly Xuanyuan Cheng, and tears began to well up in their eyes.

Su Qianyun bit down on her lower lip as she fought to repress her sobs.

In her mind, Xuanyuan Cheng had always been a tall and handsome prodigy, who was extremely kind and thoughtful. He had limitless latent potential and was revered and respected by countless people. He was a man with a glorious future ahead of him…

But that future had been completely shattered as he had become an elderly man devoid of any cultivation base…

“Cough cough cough…” Xuanyuan Cheng coughed violently before throwing up a mouthful of blood.

Everyone hurried over to him and cast healing spell techniques upon him.

“What are you all doing here? Isn’t there a battle going on outside? Don’t worry about me…” Xuanyuan Cheng grumbled at everyone that was tending to him, “Don’t waste so much energy on an old man like me…”

“But… But you…” Su Qianyun finally caved in and burst into sobs.

“One does not know their true potential unless they really force themselves. I am already beyond ecstatic that I could sacrifice myself in exchange for tens of millions of enemies… I am extremely glad and content… I no longer have any regrets in my life, but all of you still have duties on your shoulders. Now go…” Xuanyuan Cheng’s voice was very weak, but he still encouraged everyone in a kind and gentle manner.

Everyone fell silent. Some were wallowing in grief, while others were self-loathing at their own powerlessness.

Liu Qianhuan drew her sword and rushed out of the Starfire Battleship with killing intent radiating from her body. “I’m going to kill all of those filthy beasts!”

Boom boom boom…

The battle resumed.

On that occasion, it was time for the Four Nine Immortal Sect and the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect to launch their retaliations.

The Snow Ghouls no longer had any advantage in numbers, and the remaining thousand or so Snow Ghouls were going to face the wrath of the two sects!

Liu Qianhuan, Su Qianyun, Tang Ximen, Sun Yuluo, Tobias, the White-Scaled Wolf God, Da Bai… One Return to Void Stage mighty figure after another tore through the Snow Ghouls in a frenzy.

It was the final battle, and they weren’t going to hold back at all.

Shu Honglan held Xuanyuan Cheng in her arms and carried him to the front of the Starfire Battleship, where they overlooked the entire battlefield.

Xuanyuan Cheng said that he wanted to see the Four Nine Immortal Sect and the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect secure the final victory. He wanted to witness his two sects defend the Kingdom of the Nine States with his own two eyes.

Thus, Shu Honglan carried him to the best vantage point in order to fulfill his wish.

All of the disciples and elders from the two sects were astonished by the sight of the elderly Xuanyuan Cheng. That astonishment was then converted into fury as they attacked the Snow Ghouls with even greater ferocity.

There had been far too many people who were sacrificed during the course of the battle. They didn’t even have time to stop and grieve; all they could do was vent their emotions upon the Snow Ghouls before their eyes.

Xuanyuan Cheng had turned the tide of the entire battle on his own, completing a miraculous comeback. They were not going to let his efforts and sacrifice go in vain; they vowed to destroy all of the Snow Ghouls!

Energy exploded, and vibrant spell techniques flew in all directions.

The battle was a spectacular sight to behold.

The Snow Ghouls had been forced completely onto the back foot and were falling in quick succession.

As time passed, all of the white and black Snow Ghouls were destroyed by the two sects!

The only enemies that remained on the battlefield were the three golden Snow Ghouls with divine halos; they still held the upper hand in their battles.

Xiao Tu and Xiao Ze were pressed firmly into the ground, where half of their bodies had been sealed in ice.

The Demonic Blood Kirin and the phoenix Little Huang had combined forces to face another golden Snow Ghoul. Red flames and golden snowflakes clashed in the air, like an epic battle between fire and ice. However, the golden storm imbued with the laws of ice and frost were clearly dominating the two mythological beasts.

Shangguan Yi and the Great Empress of the snow maidens took on the final golden Snow Ghoul. All of them were wielders of snow and ice, but the two beautiful snow maidens were being abused to the point of depression.

The Dao Integration Stage battlefield was still in a very perilous situation.

Xuanyuan Cheng was extremely feeble, but he was still feeling very tense as his murky eyes stared intently at the battles taking place in the distance. Due to the fact that he had lost his cultivation base, he could only see flashes and streaks of light and was unable to decipher exactly what was going on.

However, just seeing those explosions was enough for him.
