Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

In fact, not only their Sword Cultivation Sect was preparing for the battlefield, but also the cultivators from the various other sects near the Space Gate, except for those who stayed behind, were all ready. Under the summons of the Immortals, they left this place and took steps toward an expedition!

Qin Feng and another followed the team forward, their feet on the Spiritual Artifacts, the Flying Swords releasing about three feet of Sword Qi connecting with others', nearly a hundred thousand Sword Cultivators linked their Sword Qi into a continuum, forming a neat Sword Array moving forwards, familiarizing themselves with the War Formation!

Such continuous marching for over ten days showed them the heavily damaged land beneath, full of countless broken walls and shattered cities.

This was considered mild; some places witnessed collapsed mountains, rivers changing courses, and the earth caving in, leaving behind various terrifying traces of powerful battles!

Clearly, these scenes were remnants of battles involving those stronger than Immortals; even ordinary Immortals couldn't reach such formidable destructive power—perhaps it had been influenced by the aftershocks of battles involving Great Powers from the Immortal Realm.

However, this was, after all, a High Rank world, where the abundant Spiritual Energy allowed various plants to grow rapidly. In just a few years, a new ecological environment would form, presenting a variety of spectacular landscapes.

As long as the land wasn't left completely lifeless, with the tolerance and Regeneration Power of a High Rank world, everything would not pose a problem!

Besides those conspicuous battle relics, they often saw many broken cities along the way shrouded in Yin Qi and filled with Death Qi, inside of which not only Dead Souls lingered but also Zombies roamed!

These cities had become Ghost Nourishing Yin Lands!

It was obvious, without saying, that these were the doings of the cultivators from the Ten Directions Ghost City; otherwise, in a High Rank world, a place wouldn't just become a Dead Domain because more people died there.

Along the way, not only the Sword Cultivators from various sects felt emotional ups and downs, even Qin Feng felt somewhat shocked.

Indeed, this was the war between High Rank worlds, far surpassing the level of wars in ordinary medium or small worlds. The experiences he had had in the Red Flame Demon Realm seemed rather ordinary in comparison now.

After more than ten days of flight, the cultivators finally arrived at the frontline camp and were led by the Sword Immortal into a castle standing atop a mountaintop.

Near this castle, atop numerous mountains, stood various fortresses with strong defensive capabilities, echoing this location.

Although under the leadership of the Ten Directions Ghost City, cultivators from the Northern Domain were in an offensive state, this was ultimately a High Rank world; the resistance from the opposite side was not only strong but very formidable.

After initially underestimating the enemy leading to setbacks, the higher-ups of this world had now fully engaged in defense, not only blocking the cultivators' attacks but also launching counterattacks!

This was also the main reason why the Ten Directions Ghost City was so anxious to open the Space Gate, gathering cultivators from all over the Northern Domain to come and fight.

Otherwise, their initial troops were clearly insufficient to withstand the counterattacks of the entire High Rank world. Even Qin Feng and his group were just the vanguard, with continuous reinforcements still to come.

Moreover, once the Space Gate was fully stabilized, the Ten Directions Ghost City would allow cultivators from various sects to rotate in and out, sending injured ones away and bringing more disciples into the battlefield for training and seizing various resources.

In this regard, the Ten Directions Ghost City was very generous. They didn't force the sects' cultivators to hand over their spoils but encouraged them with these gains to fight bravely, take more territories, and exchange more treasures for cultivation resources.

As long as they survived this war, those cultivators who gained experience and resources were bound to enter a phase of explosive growth, making rapid strides in their Cultivation. If done well, the medium and lower level cultivators from various sects in the Northern Domain could achieve a qualitative improvement, presenting a development opportunity for Biluo.

These Sword Cultivators did not stay long in the castle; they had just arrived for less than half an hour and had not yet completed their rest when they were startled by a desolate sound of a horn.

"Quick, assemble!"

With a soft shout from Sword Immortal Yin Ruowu, the entire castle was alerted, waking the cultivators who had just relaxed after days of continuous travel: "Form the Sword Array, follow me out of the castle to meet the enemy!"

"Isn't it necessary to defend?"

One of the elders from a Sword Cultivation Sect asked.

After all, having flown for such a long time, the disciples were also a bit tired; going into battle at this time did seem a bit disadvantageous, so the elder sought to secure a more stable tactic for his disciples.

"Do not forget your identity!"

Yin Ruowu said coldly, "We are Sword Cultivators; when have you ever seen Sword Cultivators solely holding their ground defensively?

If defense was needed, other cultivators better suited for it would do far better than us. Why then are we Sword Cultivators here?

Since we are Sword Cultivators, then adhere to our duty, play to our strengths—attack, attack, and attack again. With our long swords, break through the enemy's War Formation, slay all formidable enemies.

This is what we Sword Cultivators ought to do!

Only in this way can you inspire your disciples' potential, allowing them to transcend in the war, break through amidst life and death, and possibly seize the chance to become Sword Immortals in the future!"

"... Yes!"

Hearing this, the elder dared not say more, promptly consenting and gathering the disciples from his sect into the Sword Array. Otherwise, if the formation were to be disrupted and the enemy broke into their ranks, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Sword Qi surged into the sky, as Sword Dao Cultivators one after another mounted their swords and flew into the air, forming a war formation in a very short amount of time.

Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen mingled within the ranks and, under the leadership of the elders at the forefront, flew out towards the castle, arriving soon at the battlefield outside the mountain.

They saw a huge, dense army appear before them, easily numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

Some of these warriors wore colorful robes and scale armor, carrying short swords and long spears; others wielded linen shields and wooden clubs among other rudimentary weapons; and some carried bows and axes, commanding enormous monsters.

There were also individuals dressed in bright crimson cloaks and metal helmets, wearing only a metal protective crotch piece and war boots covering their lower bodies, holding spears, war swords, and shields. Their muscles bulged visibly across their half-naked bodies, making them look like wild barbarian warriors.

Such attire instantly drew scorn from many Female Cultivators in the war, who secretly cursed these men for their shamelessness.

Despite the army across them having a motley array of weapons and clearly being a hastily assembled force from various powers, they all showed a high morale and aggressive momentum. Even seeing the Sword Cultivators flying toward them, they showed no fear, marching forward boldly to the sound of resounding war horns, banging their shields.

This was a war between worlds, there was nothing much to say—the fierce battle erupted almost instantly as soon as both sides were within range to attack.

The opposing side first unleashed a volley of arrows, creating a rain of sharp projectiles that filled the sky.

Following the arrows, a barrage of short spears was hurled by nearly naked, muscular warriors.

However, even though these warriors were strong and both the arrows and spears were formidable, once the Cultivators had formed their war formation, breaking through their defense with anything less than shattering the entire formation was exceedingly difficult.

Even if several heavy spears managed to penetrate the Protective Shield on the outside of the formation, they were swiftly chopped down by the elders wielding their swords.

Cultivators weren't the type to just take hits and not fight back, especially since they were Sword Cultivators who relished combat. Soon, under the command of a Primordial Spirit Realm Great Cultivator from Sky Splitting Sword Sect, they began their counterattack.

Fierce crescent-shaped Sword Qi burst forth from their formation, slicing towards the enemy's camps. Even though the enemy camps raised several Protective Barriers, the hastily assembled army couldn't withstand such powerful attacks, and in just moments, there were casualties with several barriers shattered, followed by screams of agony.

As for Ghost Dao Sword Immortal Yin Ruowu, he didn't lead the Sword Array.

Instead, a mighty figure had risen from the opposing camp.

This person was tall and heavily built, wearing a golden helmet and holding a war sword and round shield. His crimson cloak fluttered in the fierce wind, and his muscular physique was akin to that of a Barbarian Bear, clearly possessing immense strength.

Yet, his combat skills were surprisingly clever, suggesting a masterful simplicity in his movements—so much so that even Yin Ruowu couldn't hope to defeat him quickly.

However, Yin Ruowu's Sword Dao was extremely strange, controlling the rhythm of the entire battle.

He hailed from Ghost City's Nili City!

Nili City in Ghost City was particularly unique because its inherited Technique was the Sword Dao!

A Sword Dao that amalgamated Ghost Path Cultivation Method!

This was because the Lord of Nili City had originally been a Sword Cultivator. During the Ancient Great Tribulation, he had followed Ghost Ancestor, cultivating the Ghost Path as well, diverging his Sword Dao to exceedingly distinct paths and directly Proving Dao Immortality, advancing to be a Golden Immortal.

This Lord of Nili City not only possessed the strong Attack Power of a Sword Dao Cultivator but also the most peculiar combat methods of the Ghost Path. Thus, amongst all the Sword Dao inheritances in Biluo, he was truly distinct, and his unique Ghost Sword lineage in the Northern Domain was listed as one of the least desirable Techniques to contend against.

Yin Ruowu, as a cultivator of the Ghost Sword lineage, moved like a ghost—appearing and disappearing mysteriously, with countless Sword Qi striking unpredictably, often slashing from seemingly impossible angles.

Had it not been for his opponent's proficiency in defensive counterattack, it might have been difficult to withstand such uncanny methods.

In the distance, both Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen watched this scene, astonished at the formidable prowess of the Ghost Dao Sword Immortal.

Especially Li Miaozhen, who felt an urge to try her hand, almost wishing she could kick the divine figure aside to battle Yin Ruowu herself.

Luckily, she retained some rationality, aware that the battlefield wasn't a place for recklessness. She suppressed her growing urge to fight, frustratingly wielding a frail Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword, contributing a few weak Sword Qi into the battle formation.

The war soon took a turn. After a series of enemy soldiers were slain, the strong opponents within their ranks could no longer bear the losses. They sent out dozens of powerhouses using strange attack methods to forcibly break the battle formation's defense, forcing the various sects to abandon the Sword Array and take on the enemy army in chaotic close combat.

Li Miaozhen's eyes sparkled at this.

This was the kind of battle she relished and could finally show her prowess.

Just as she contemplated sneaking in some Divine Skills to take down a few powerhouses for her satisfaction, Qin Feng grabbed her and pretended to be scattered by the enemy attack, pulling away from the Lingyun Sword Sect's formation.
