Chapter 2581: Chapter 2581: The Soul Cultivator Squad Is Terrifying

The cannon fodder who are still alive, their Divine Soul Bodies are relatively stronger, so they didn’t die in the first wave of Divine Soul extermination by Ding Hong’s team.

"Palace Master! Palace Master! It’s a Divine Soul attack, the Soul Cultivators launched a Divine Soul attack!" The Yellow Robed Killing Star of Yama Palace halted his body with difficulty, turned around, and shouted painfully at Yu Hentian.

Divine Soul attack!

Yu Hentian’s mouth twitched.

"Retreat!" Yu Hentian ordered a retreat.

"Exterminate!" At that moment, Ding Hong issued the command for a second wave of Divine Soul extermination.

The dozens of remaining Yama Palace Alliance Army cannon fodder, after surviving the first wave of Divine Soul attacks, although still alive, their Divine Soul Bodies were severely damaged. Even the Immortal Venerates with the least damage to their Divine Soul Bodies were powerless to resist the second wave of Divine Soul attacks.

Yu Hentian’s retreat order was heard by them, and they wanted to retreat, but they were powerless. They hadn’t yet turned around to fly back, and the second wave of Divine Soul extermination arrived. Thus, the remaining dozens of cannon fodder fell from the sky one by one.

From Ding Hong’s team’s attack, to the total annihilation of Yama Palace Alliance Army’s cannon fodder, it was merely two or three breaths’ time. In that short time, dozens of Immortal Venerates and hundreds of Immortal Rhythm Peak Soul Cultivators fell.

The terror of Soul Cultivators is evident.

Yu Hentian and the alliance’s giants couldn’t speak for a moment. They sent these people as cannon fodder, intending to test the power of Hongmeng City’s Big Array. But now, the cannon fodder were wiped out without even launching an attack, a loss so great it chilled every bone.

"How could... How could Hongmeng City have so many Soul Cultivators?" Sima Tianyang mumbled.

No one could answer his question.

They could all see the hundred white-robed cultivators and were puzzled earlier about what they were doing at Hongmeng City’s edge. Now they knew; those white-robed cultivators were Soul Cultivators, effortlessly exterminating their assembled first probing force.

...

"Is this... the strength of Hongmeng City?"

Not only the Yama Palace Alliance Army were afar outside Hongmeng City, but also many other cultivators and adventurers.

The battle between Hongmeng City and the Yama Palace Alliance Army was sure to attract countless cultivators to watch. However, most didn’t dare get too close to the battlefield for fear of being affected. Yet, some audacious cultivators reached positions where they could directly see the killing scene.

These people witnessed the annihilation of Yama Palace’s first probing team like mowing grass.

They were dumbfounded, taking a long time to recover.

They experienced Hongmeng City’s ferocity.

"A hundred Soul Cultivators, terrifying! No, it’s not just a hundred; there seem to be four hundred more similarly white-robed figures in the city. They might all be Soul Cultivators; otherwise, why wear the same white robe? But where did City Lord Jing Yan get so many Soul Cultivators? Are they reinforcements from Nightmare City?" some cultivators speculated.

Nightmare City is a place known to the nine Heavenly Domains of the entire Immortal Domain. Cultivators from every Domain entered Nightmare City, some never returned, and others did. Those with vast knowledge know Nightmare City has more Soul Cultivators than outside and Divine Soul items are fairly common.

"Impossible to be Nightmare City’s reinforcements. Even if that elusive Nightmare City could send so many Soul Cultivators to help Hongmeng City, the forces of Yama Palace and others would be aware. Now it seems even Yama Palace and others were unaware of such a Soul Cultivator team in Hongmeng City," someone shook their head.

"Soul Cultivators are truly terrifying! A group of Soul Cultivators pooling together is more terrifying. Facing such a large number of Soul Cultivators, many wouldn’t even know how they died," a cultivator lamented.

Inside Hongmeng City!

"City Lord Jing Yan, such a grand move! Not even our allies knew Hongmeng City concealed such a terrifying Soul Cultivator team," Chairman Meng Kun gasped, looking at Jing Yan, smiling bitterly.

"It wasn’t deliberately concealed," Jing Yan smiled.

"City Lord Jing Yan, could it be that all these five hundred cultivators are Soul Cultivators?" Grandmaster Lan Zan pointed at the four hundred white-robed Soul Cultivators not far away.

Ding Hong’s team, which exterminated the Yama Palace Alliance Army earlier, was returning from the city’s edge.

"Yes, they are all Soul Cultivators," Jing Yan said. "However, the Immortal Venerate Realm Soul Cultivators are rare, only about twenty people."

Among the five hundred, about twenty are in the Immortal Venerate Realm.

However, once Soul Cultivators step into the Immortal Venerate Realm, even just entering, they can threaten ordinary late-stage Venerable Immortal cultivators. Once stable in realm and obtaining an Immortal Venerable Seal, with the Divine Soul Magical Treasures bestowed by Jing Yan, they can even possibly excel against common Peak Realm Immortal Venerates.

Speaking of which, even if not in the Immortal Venerate Realm, once the numbers increase, many Soul Cultivators collectively attacking a few enemies result in unimaginable lethality. For example, a hundred Immortal Rhythm Level Soul Cultivators, facing a top expert at the Immortal Venerable Peak, collectively launching Soul Technique attacks, renders the Peak top expert unable to withstand the continuous Divine Soul shock.

"So astounding, I really wonder how City Lord Jing Yan amassed so many Soul Cultivators. In the Tianbei Sect, Soul Cultivators are few and far between," Grandmaster Lan Zan shook his head.

Jing Yan smiled without further explanation.

On Yama Palace Alliance Army’s side.

The giants forcibly pulled themselves from such negative emotions.

"I think we shouldn’t send anyone anymore to test Hongmeng City’s Formation Power. Hierarch, let’s launch a full-scale attack! Our number of experts should surely surpass Hongmeng City’s. From three directions, we crush our way in, break open Hongmeng City, then we join forces to kill that Jing Yan," Sima Tianyang of the Sima Family, with a long dark face, said to Yu Hentian.

Yu Hentian’s complexion shifted as if making an extremely important decision.

"Hierarch, Sima Family Master speaks logically. It appears we have no other way now. If we test, breaching even that line of Soul Cultivators would be difficult. Even deploying some Immortal Venerable Peaks might not help much. We can see that within the city, those similarly dressed in white robes aren’t just a hundred. I deliberately counted earlier, should be at least five hundred," President Jiang Yue said solemnly.
