The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2580: Chapter 2580: Everyone Was Stunned

Actually, the fact that Hongmeng City could form a soul cultivation squad owes a lot to Xu Yiming.

If it weren’t for Xu Yiming’s ability to sense soul cultivation talent in cultivators, then even if Jing Yan had many soul techniques and Divine Soul items, they would be useless. If these things are used by ordinary cultivators, it’s very difficult for them to become soul cultivators. Only those with a high soul cultivation talent can step into the world of soul cultivation after receiving Jing Yan’s help.

Grandmaster Lan Zan and Chairman Meng Kun were both gazing at the white-robed cultivators of Hongmeng City. Including the many Immortal Venerable Peak powerhouses from the Golden Toad Commerce and Tianbei Sect, each had their eyes fixed on the white-robed cultivators.

The soul cultivators of Hongmeng City, their existence was very concealed. When Xu Yiming was seeking cultivators with soul cultivation talent, he communicated one-on-one, so even among the internal members of Hongmeng City, not many knew there was a soul cultivation squad in the city. The soul cultivators received direct help from City Lord Jing Yan, allowing them access to a vast amount of cultivation resources. Once selected, they would focus almost entirely on cultivation, rarely seeing outsiders, and even if they did, they wouldn’t reveal their identity as soul cultivators openly.

Because of this, the many superpowers were unaware of the existence of a soul cultivation squad in Hongmeng City.

Ding Hong led his team of ninety-nine members, hovering at the city’s edge, their eyes watching the rapidly approaching enemy.

"Kill!"

The troops dispatched by the various forces of the Yama Palace alliance army accelerated their charge towards Hongmeng City. Leading them was the Yellow Robed Killing Star from Yama Palace, constantly chanting orders while brandishing an Immortal Venerable Level magical treasure.

"Charge!"

"Quick! We... are about to reach within the range of the attack. Pay attention, after entering the attack range, follow my orders, and we will all attack the city’s big array. As long as we probe the power of the array, we can retreat." The Yellow Robed Killing Star loudly declared.

His words implied that they, as cannon fodder, might not have to die. As long as they could gauge the power of Hongmeng City’s formation, they could withdraw to a safe place.

These people knew they were cannon fodder, sent to their deaths. Yet now, knowing there was a chance of survival, made them more willing to fight. Who wants to die when there’s a chance to live?

"Kill! Attack the Hongmeng City formation!"

"Everyone, charge together!"

The group of cannon fodder cried out fervently, filled with emotion.

The number of cannon fodder was considerable. In the Yama Palace alliance army, superpowers and first-class forces combined made over twenty. Excluding Moon Frost Sect and Eight Gods Pill Sect, each city sent dozens, totaling over five to six hundred. Individually, few would have the courage to charge at Hongmeng City, but with hundreds charging together, a kind of courage boost effect emerged among them.

"Captain, they’re about to enter our soul technique attack range," a soul cultivator said to Ding Hong.

"Alright!" Ding Hong nodded, calculating the time.

He figured, in about three breaths, the enemy would enter their effective attack range. The attack range of a soul cultivator is vast, referring to the effective killing range. For mere influence, the distance becomes terrifying.

"Prepare!" Ding Hong growled lowly.

Over a hundred white-robed soul cultivators uniformly drew their magical treasures. Among them, the stronger soul cultivators wielded, of course, Divine Soul magical treasures. It’s crucial to note that a single Divine Soul magical treasure is extremely valuable, worth at least hundreds of billions of Black Crystal Stones. In Ding Hong’s team, about one-tenth of the soul cultivators held Divine Soul magical treasures. The rest wielded conventional magical treasures, as Jing Yan didn’t have enough Divine Soul magical treasures to equip the entire soul cultivation squad. The Divine Soul magical treasures were first given to the strongest soul cultivators.

However, all soul cultivators have the opportunity to learn soul techniques. Jing Yan initially brought out many soul techniques from Nightmare City, and one soul technique book could be learned by multiple soul cultivators. Later, Jing Yan himself gradually created low-level soul technique classics like Shadow Soul Kill.

"Eliminate!"

As the cannon fodder of the Yama Palace alliance entered the attack range of Ding Hong’s team, Ding Hong yelled.

Over a hundred soul cultivators simultaneously unleashed their soul technique attacks. Most launched the Shadow Soul Killing Soul Technique. Because a soul technique’s activation had almost no external manifestation, it was challenging to detect. This feature often allowed soul cultivators to successfully ambush their enemies.

The soul cultivators had launched their attacks, but the cannon fodder on the other side remained oblivious, still recklessly advancing.

When the soul cultivators released their techniques, Grandmaster Lan Zan’s eyes flickered sharply. With his cultivation, he faintly sensed some special change, detected a power hidden deeply within the world. His heart jolted as he thought of soul techniques, and a torrent of shock surged within him.

Soul technique attack?

How could this be possible!

Could it be that these hundred white-robed cultivators were all soul cultivators? This... how could it be! Is Hongmeng City capable of having such a number of soul cultivators? It’s not just a hundred white-robed cultivators here, but a full five hundred. Are they all soul cultivators?

Even Grandmaster Lan Zan felt parched at this moment.

On the other end, the cannon fodder from Yama Palace encountered the soul technique attacks from the white-robed soul cultivators.

From a distance,

The dense swarm of hundreds of rapidly moving figures oddly began to plummet headfirst to the ground. They fell silently, as if voluntarily descending towards the earth, yet their poses were anything but composed or graceful. Some were upside down, headfirst.

More and more fell.

In the blink of an eye, about half of the cannon fodder had fallen from the sky.

"Pa pa pa!"

"Puh puh puh!"

Groans escaped as the falling individuals hit the ground. None of those who hit the ground were able to stand again. If one were to use Divine Thought to scan the area, they’d discover that these cultivators were all devoid of life.

"What happened?" Yama Palace’s master, Yu Hentian, roared, his eyes bulging out.

The powerhouses beside him wore similar expressions. They couldn’t fathom what had happened, why their people suddenly plunged from the sky without warning, and directly lost their vitality.

The cannon fodder, groups of them dropped like locusts sprayed with powerful pesticide.

While everyone was still unclear on what had transpired, among those five to six hundred cannon fodder, only a small number of Immortal Rhythm Nether Sky Realm and those few dozen Immortal Venerables remained.
