Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Inside the mountain, Wei Fan continued to examine the messages, finding a third one.

It was sent by Shi Yun, the Town Commander.

"How is the situation with the demon fiends attacking Shuiyun City?"

"Return to defend Shuiyun City at once, and ensure no harm comes to the people by the demon fiends."

"Wei Fan, where are you? The demon fiends are attacking Shuiyun City, yet you, as the Town Territory Envoy, are not present. This is a grave offense of abandoning your post, and you will be held accountable."

"Wei Fan, return to the Holy City and face your punishment immediately!"

Shi Yun didn’t send just one message but multiple, initially urging him back to Shuiyun City, and later demanding his return to the Holy City to accept responsibility.

Demonic qi appeared in Wei Fan’s eyes: "After I deal with the Wang Family, I’ll deal with you next."

He did not reply to Shi Yun, instead putting the jade token away and taking an outfit from the storage gourd to change into. In mere moments, after wriggling his muscles, he transformed into a refined-looking middle-aged man.

"Still missing a few things..."

With a flip of his wrist, Wang Tai’s storage gourd appeared in his hand, and Wei Fan infused it with his heart spirit. Instantly, a massive storage space appeared in his mind, filled with various treasures and spirit crystals.

However, the most conspicuous item was a silver holy sword in the center of the storage gourd. Without hesitation, Wei Fan simply took it out and strapped it to his back.

Having prepared these things, he dismantled the array and exited the mountain, heading towards Shuiyun City.

Shi Yun’s urgency in summoning him back to Shuiyun City suggested that someone powerful from the Wang Family might have arrived there. Of course, the main reason was that the transmission domain gate was also in the direction of Shuiyun City.

Tearing open the space, Wei Fan dove in and set off.

It took him over three hours to travel from Shuiyun City to here. Now, with his increased cultivation and closer connection to heaven and earth, he reached Shuiyun City in just over an hour.

The little town depicted in the three-year-old’s painting had changed dramatically; its surrounding beauty had turned into barren, rugged hills, full of pits, and soaked in blood. But Shuiyun City was still intact, as the demon fiends hadn’t breached its walls.

A hundred miles away, demon qi billowed, and black smoke blocked the sky, indicating that the demon army was stationed there, with massive figures hidden in the dark clouds watching over Shuiyun City.

The Black Dragon Great Saint sat on the city wall, accompanied by his pet beast, a scaled-down black dragon, and a familiar Town Territory Envoy, Tang Jun.

The Black Dragon Great Saint glanced in Wei Fan’s direction, as if sensing something.

Wei Fan had no intention of revealing himself or acknowledging the two. From now on, Wei Fan would vanish from the Eastern Domain.

He wandered the city without finding any Wang Family members and was about to leave when he heard the loud blare of horns from afar.

The demon fiends were attacking Shuiyun City again!

The townspeople cursed as they hid in their homes, while the gates of the military camps swung open, and human soldiers poured out in droves, rushing to defend the city.

"Slay the demon fiends, protect our Human Race!"

"The demon fiends dare oppress our Human Race; let’s show them our might!"

"Fight, fight, fight!"

...

Some Jianghu martial artists shouted, joining the troops heading out to contribute their efforts.

In an instant, the entire Shuiyun City was brimming with killing intent, everyone gritting their teeth. Some young ones, barely at the level of Celestial Martial Artists, shouted about going to battle against the demon fiends, only to be restrained by their elders.

In such a meat grinder of a battle between the two races, even Celestial Martial Artists, let alone Divine Realm Martial Sect members, were unqualified to participate. Only those with Martial Venerable cultivation could serve as ordinary soldiers.

As for Jianghu wanderers, without forming a battle array with companions, involving themselves without Martial King cultivation would be suicidal.

Wei Fan paused, not in a rush to leave, and climbed the city wall with some Martial King powerhouses to gaze into the distance.

On the distant horizon, big banners fluttered, thick smoke billowed, and countless demon fiends rampaged across the land, raising massive dust clouds, as if a flooding torrent was roaring through. Even from several miles away, Shuiyun City trembled.

Outside Shuiyun City, the human army had formed a battle array, everyone’s auras connected, with overwhelming qi blood soaring into the sky, dispersing the clouds.

Wei Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, judging that this demon army numbered at least ten or twenty thousand, with the lowest having the cultivation of Demon Venerable.

If he charged in and unleashed the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, it would consume at least ten or twenty million ordinary powers. However, he restrained himself, knowing that such an act would only harm others; he wasn’t heartless enough to disregard ordinary people’s lives for the sake of power.

"Black Dragon, come and meet your death!"

In the sky-covering darkness, several mountain-like figures emerged, challenging the Black Dragon Great Saint.

Their roars were like thunder, shattering the sky, as several Demon Saints entered the void world.

Wei Fan observed a Great Saint-level Celestial Horned Elephant and a Great Saint-level Nine-tailed Fox, with the demon race sending two Great Saint-level powerhouses, clearly intended to deal with the Black Dragon Great Saint and his black dragon.

Besides these two Great Saints, there was also a Pathway Condensing Demon Saint and a Dharma Demon Saint, embodied by an Iron-Eating Beast and a Celestial Horned Elephant, respectively.

"These beasts have sent in even more experts!"

The expressions of the Black Dragon Great Saint and Tang Jun turned grim. Shuiyun City wasn’t particularly significant, yet the demon race dispatched two Great Saints, suggesting that even more powerhouses might be sent to other locations.

And all of this was merely to force the human race to surrender Wei Fan, the prodigy who had slain the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape and the Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon.

"Brazen beasts, if you want to kill me, you’ll need to bring twice as many!"

The Black Dragon Great Saint raised his hand and shattered the firmament, with a surge of Chaos Qi, and a terrifying large crack extended all the way under the feet of the opposite Demon Saints.

Immediately, he jumped onto the Black Dragon’s back, and the two transformed into a black light, charging at several Demon Saints.

"Kill, level Shuiyun City for me, if the Human Race doesn’t hand over Wei Fan, keep killing until they are afraid!"

The Great Saint-level Celestial Horned Elephant roared, its clan members also fell by the hand of Wei Fan, making it the clan most eager to kill Wei Fan.

Of course, they had this confidence. In the past, to force the Human Race to destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Demon Armor of the Primordial Emperor, they kept pressuring the Human Race, and eventually, the Human Race had no choice but to agree to destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Demon Armor.

Now it just begins, once the Human Race suffers enough pain from the killing, after a few years of slaughter, the Human Race will obediently hand over Wei Fan.

As they spoke, he and the Nine-tailed Fox Great Saint confronted the Black Dragon Great Saint and his Black Dragon, battling deep into the Void World.

One Great Dao after another was drawn out, spanning heaven and earth, and the aura of the Great Dao permeated constantly between heaven and earth, suppressing the killing aura formed by the armies of both sides.

At the same time, the armies of the Human and Demon Races clashed together, forming a terrifying meat grinder; in the center, a large cloud of blood mist erupted immediately, with humans and Demon Fiends being blasted into blood mist at the first chance.

This kind of battlefield slaughter is terrifying; human lives are as insignificant as grass. Even a Martial King might be instantly slaughtered in such a battle array; only those at the Saint Child Level of Martial King can come and go freely on such a battlefield.

"Kill! The Human Race will not be bullied!"

Tang Jun broke through space in a step, tearing through space, and also charged forward.

As for the armies’ battle, there were generals from Shuiyun City to handle it, not his concern.

Wei Fan looked around and found no other Human Race Martial Saints present aside from himself.

"Then I’ll kill some Demon Saints first, then head to the Holy City!"

In such a great battle, Wei Fan naturally wouldn’t miss it, nor let the Power before his eyes slip away.

He stretched out his hands and forcefully tore open a spatial rift in front of him, diving right in.

"This senior is actually a Saint Realm Powerhouse!"

People around were invigorated; with another Saint Realm Powerhouse joining the Human Race, everyone gained confidence. In an instant, many Martial Kings hesitating to enter the battle jumped down the city walls and rushed into the battlefield.

"Brother, assist me!"

Upon entering the Void World, Wei Fan noticed Tang Jun was already battling the Dharma Realm Celestial Horned Elephant and the Iron-Eating Beast, struggling against a one-on-two scenario. Wei Fan even saw blood stains on him.

"You kill this Town Territory Envoy, Tang Jun, and leave that newly arrived pretty face to me!"

The Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint, full of killing intent, charged towards Wei Fan, engulfed in immense Power. He had this confidence because the injuries on Tang Jun were not from the Dharma Realm Celestial Horned Elephant, but from him, the Demon Saint of the Condensing Dao Realm.

The Iron-Eating Beast clan had terrifying physical prowess, especially their defense, not weaker than those who have achieved Body Ascension.

When the clan was weak, they would eat iron, and once their cultivation reached a certain level, they would start eating Spirit Iron Divine Gold, resulting in an unparalleled defensive body.

The injuries on Tang Jun’s body were from his terrifying defense withstanding Tang Jun’s attack, and seeing another Human Race Martial Saint joining the fray, he was not afraid; instead, his ferocity intensified as he proactively charged forward.

His terrifying body seemed unable to be contained by space, with cracks forming in the space he passed, creating dreadful fissures.

"Pretty face, let me test your weight!"

The Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint let out a strange cry, launching a punch that instantly shattered a part of the firmament, causing a tremendous quake in the Void World, nearly tearing apart the Chain of Order, and the Great Dao roared thunderously.

Without the Dao Patterns born from Body Ascension, its body seemed as if cast from Refined Iron, emitting a metallic sheen, resembling a cold mechanical lifeform, flowing with astonishing Divinity, as if it were a monster shaped from Divine Gold.

"This clan is truly formidable!"

Wei Fan’s eyes showed surprise, for he had once slain the son of an Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint at Huangfu Qingyang’s domain on Treasure Flower Continent, punching him to death in one hit, not expecting that after Ascension, this clan would be so terrifying.

The Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint on Treasure Flower Continent back then was directly shaken to death by Huangfu Nalan using the Eight Trigrams Wood Tripod, leaving him with no direct experience. Now in a battle, even he was somewhat surprised.

In the Saint Realm, this Iron-Eating Beast in front of him was definitely not much weaker than an innate Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape Demon Saint.

"Brother, be careful, this beast’s body is Vajra Indestructible, immensely strong, and with peerless defense," Tang Jun called out from afar with concern.

[Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint: Condensing Dao Realm, member of the Demon Heaven Alliance, killed countless]

[Kill it, gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 2,700 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

"No worries, Brother Tang, watch me slay this foe!"

Wei Fan was unconcerned, even if it were a Condensing Dao Realm Iron-Eating Beast, he could easily slay it, not to mention if it had already broken through to the Dharma Realm.

This time, with the evolution of the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell, leaning towards the Martial Arts of the Golden Bell Shield, the benefits brought to him were beyond description, and with improved cultivation, he had the confidence to easily slay his former self from a few days ago.

At the Dharma Realm, using only the Power of the Primordial Spirit, he was confident of fearing no one, only those Dharma Martial Saints with a Dharma Aspect condensed to four thousand feet could contend with him evenly.

Facing the punch of the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint, Wei Fan remained composed, reaching behind to grip the silver Holy Sword.

Drawing sword!

Slice!

Flawless execution!
