Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"I am Huang Qiaoyun, may I ask your name, brother?"

Seeing Wei Fan nod, the woman promptly reported her name, along with several men accompanying her, frankly stating they were Jianghu heroes who couldn’t stand the Demon Fiend harming the Human Race and were eager to get into battle to kill enemies.

Wei Fan’s gaze swept over them, finding that each had the cultivation of the Martial King Ninth Layer, but all had failed to break through the Saint Realm, and their strength was no longer at its peak.

"I am Wei Ran!" Wei Fan announced this name, and suddenly, a hush fell over the surroundings, with countless eyes turning towards him.

The name Wei Fan resounded recently in the Eastern Domain, and even though the battle in Jinzhou was intense, the people here had heard of his name.

"Is he really Wei Ran?"

"It might not be that Wei Ran; it’s said he disappeared after speaking to the Zhou Family, perhaps it’s a namesake."

"How could such a figure be lining up here with us? If he were to fight, the Demon Hunter Organization would open a Transmission Domain Gate specifically for him and send him straight to the front line."

Soon, some shook their heads, not believing this Wei Ran was that Wei Ran.

Wei Fan didn’t offer any explanation, quickly asking Huang Qiaoyun about the strength of the Demon Fiend side.

"It’s said that a few days ago, the Demon Fiend’s army already exceeded two hundred thousand, with more Demon Fiend armies arriving continually..."

After listening for a while, Wei Fan realized that not only were humans inferior to Demon Fiends in terms of Saint Realm powerhouses, but even in army combat, they were repeatedly defeated, which was also the key reason for the recent fall of several cities.

However, the Demon Hunter Organization has already recruited a batch of armies from the surrounding continents, and there’s now some power for resistance on the battlefield, though the Saint Realm powerhouses are notably weaker.

The various Town Territory Envoys and other Hall Masters of the Demon Hunter Organization had been constrained and couldn’t deploy Saint Realm powerhouses here, coupled with several falling and others getting injured due to continuous battles, making humans increasingly less of a match for Demon Fiends in the Saint Realm battlefield.

"Exactly how many Demon Saints have arrived on the Demon Fiend side!" Wei Fan asked, this being his most pressing concern, as he would inevitably be fighting in the Saint Realm battlefield.

"A total of fifteen, including three Heaven-Shaking Saint Apes, alongside two ape-like Demon Saints, three Celestial Horned Elephant Demon Saints, three Demon Saints from the Profound Crane Sect, one Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon, Three-Eyed Toad Saint, and one Cyan Flood Dragon and one Three-headed Dog.

On the human side, it’s said that currently battling Saint Realm powerhouses on the frontline are only thirteen, and most are wounded.

If a couple more Saint Realm powerhouses of the Human Race were to fall, Jinzhou could not withstand."

The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape, Celestial Horned Elephant, Profound Crane Sect’s Bai He, and Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon, all boast terrifying bloodlines of the Demon Race, no wonder the human Saint Realm powerhouses are overwhelmed.

"Celestial Horned Elephant, Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon!"

Wei Fan’s gaze grew increasingly cold; his Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Skill had long lacked material for cultivation, this time he needed to hunt down several to practice.

"Are the Saint Realm powerhouses of Jinzhou really just this many?"

Fifteen Demon Saints is not too large a number; even in a remote place like Beiding Continent, there are over a dozen Martial Saints.

In a place like Jinzhou where Martial Emperors have emerged, the number of Saint Realm powerhouses should be significant, yet only a little over ten are participating in the battle.

These over ten participating Saint Realm powerhouses include three who are Town Commanders not belonging to Jinzhou, and one or two are Town Territory Envoys from Holy City.

Meaning, besides the few fallen Saint Realm powerhouses in Jinzhou, there are now only seven or eight Saint Realm powerhouses joining in resisting Demon Fiends.

This caused killing intent to surge in Wei Fan’s heart; back in the Wilderness, the three first-class sects were so sure that even if Demon Fiends broke the human defenses, they would not dare provoke them, so they simply did not resist Demon Fiends, finally being leveled with him leading his people.

"Certainly not limited; if all Saint Realm powerhouses in Jinzhou were to fight, the Demon Fiends would not be worrying, it’s hateful that at such a critical moment, sects like Lingxu Cave are thinking only of using the Demon Fiends to eliminate their own talents and not sending out powerhouses to defend against Demon Fiends."

Huang Qiaoyun spoke through clenched teeth about Lingxu Cave, this Martial Emperor’s Influence.

"I heard people say that yesterday, after a predecessor from Yun Jin City died in battle, a Town Commander of the Demon Hunters sought help from Lingxu Cave, and the answer from the Sect Leader reportedly was, Lingxu Cave is a Martial Emperor Sect, and if Lingxu Cave were to join the battle, it would only escalate the situation, so refraining from fighting is the best."

Wei Fan remembered this lackey of the Zhou Family, even if he couldn’t overthrow the Zhou Family, toppling a couple more Martial Emperor-level influence is not difficult.

Besides Lingxu Cave, Jinzhou also has two or three Holy Sects not participating, but these Holy Sects aren’t targeting Wei Fan, purely adopting a ’none of my business’ attitude. It’s fair to say that almost all capable of fighting Saint Realm powerhouses in Jinzhou have entered the battlefield.

If more Saint Realm powerhouses fall and numbers dwindle, reinforcements will have to be sent from outside.

The few continued their discussion while heading forward, soon coming to their turn to enter the Transmission Domain Gate.

"Fighting is happening ahead, once we transport over, we’ll likely need to engage immediately, don’t get scattered."

Before boarding the Transmission Domain Gate, Huang Qiaoyun reminded Wei Fan.

Wei Fan lightly nodded, stepping into the Transmission Domain Gate, and after several breaths, the scenery before him changed, and they appeared in a square located within a city.

Shun’an City, now here is the frontline where humans and Demon Fiends battle, and these two races have been struggling here for several days.

"Let’s go!"

Huang Qiaoyun urged Wei Fan down from the platform, and those who transported ahead of them had quickly departed here, heading forward.

A constant stream of Human Race powerhouses emerged from the Transmission Domain Gate behind.

"As expected, it’s a battle!"

The shouts and screams ahead shook the heavens, the earth roaring like a surging ocean, the world seemingly at its end, with mountains shattered, and sun and moon obscured.

On one side was an endless Demon Qi, black as ink, while on the other side was an ocean-like Qi Blood, tearing the very fabric of space.

Even though it was merely a battlefield of Martial Kings and Martial Venerables, the clash of hundreds of thousands of such powerful beings turned the world upside down, the sky was shattered, and the entire bloody battlefield had already spread into the Void World.

Shun’an City, like a small town amidst the chaos, was protected by a Grand Array, emitting astonishing radiance to fend off the impacts of Chaos Qi.

All the armies emerging from the Transmission Domain Gate immediately rushed into the battlefield to join the battle.

Wei Fan gazed afar, at the rear of the Demon Race army, also set up a Transmission Domain Gate, with an unending stream of Demon Fiends pouring out, howling as they joined the battle instantly.

The brutality of the massacre exceeded his imagination, yet such warfare was only a localized skirmish and couldn’t be considered the true confrontation between the Human and Demon Races.

However, it’s easy for it to spiral out of control, with both sides continuously reinforcing, evolving into a genuine decisive battle is not impossible.

Wei Fan then looked towards the battlefield where the Saint Realm powerhouses were fighting, located a thousand miles from Shun’an City, where the world was a chaos of nothingness, indistinct; only the Dao cutting through the real and the Void World was visible, with occasionally terrifying forces demolishing mountains and rivers, and echoes of roars and beast howls, vaguely revealing grand, mountain-like figures.

"Take care, everyone, I’m heading to my battlefield now!" Wei Fan suddenly halted.

Though he couldn’t see the scene within the chaos, he sensed the Human Race’s power was at a disadvantage, and delaying any longer might lead to the fall of a Saint Realm powerhouse.

Huang Qiaoyun and the others stopped, still puzzled by "Wei Ran’s" words, only to see this companion they invited midway suddenly tear open the space, dive headlong into it, and disappear.

The space gradually healed, leaving them in shock, and they came to realize that this companion called "Wei Ran" they picked up halfway was not a Martial King, but a transcendent Martial Saint powerhouse.

"His name is Wei Ran, a Saint Realm powerhouse, could he truly be the one who annihilated the Wang Family?"

Huang Qiaoyun’s eyes grew brighter; if it’s indeed Wei Ran, with his ferocity, he will surely make the Demon Fiends abandon their helmets and armor in defeat.

Wei Fan plunged into the Void World, restraining his energy as he headed towards the Saint Realm battlefield, from the perspective of the Void World, he saw many familiar figures.

There was Yuan Tian Xing, who had escaped last time, and the Three-Eyed Toad Saint.

He saw Wei Ying, soaked in blood, battling a Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape, a Great Saint Level being, whose heavy cudgel, each strike, made Wei Ying cough blood and retreat.

Wei Ying seemed to have reached his limit, on the verge of falling. Though he is the Town Commander of the Demon Hunter Organization, against such a fearsome Demon Fiend as the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape, he had barely any means of resistance, only the power to defend.

He also spotted Zhu Jincheng, the Golden Continent Demon Hunter Sub-Palace Vice Hall Master he met last time, also fighting bloodied.

Gao Peng, the Town Territory Envoy, was present too, with a gaping bloody wound through his chest and back, hair disheveled.

He also saw Xuanyuan Changkong, who had intended to act against him in the Holy City before, a powerhouse of the Xuanyuan Family.

Huang Qiaoyun claimed there were thirteen Martial Saints among the Humans in Shun’an City, yet Wei Fan now realized there weren’t as many, only eleven Human Martial Saints battling against Demon Fiends, with the other two either fallen or too gravely injured to fight.

Eleven Human Martial Saints against fifteen Demon Saints, with the battlefield stretched over thousands of miles.

Amidst them, the most striking figure was a white-clad, ethereal beauty. With just a long qin, she alone entangled three Dharma Demon Saints, one of whom was a Cyan Flood Dragon, exhibiting considerable strength.

Her piano sound was lethal, seated amidst the Great Dao, her fingers danced, conjuring countless blades and swords, affecting the Demon Saints, making them seem drunk, their full strength reduced to seventy or eighty percent.

She was a Piano Saint who entered the Dao through music, the only one Wei Fan knew of, the Fairy Yunyin.

"Boom!"

By this time, he was close to the battlefield, neither blatantly open nor sneakily stealthy; he directly manifested Great Saint Level power, transforming into a bolt of thunder racing forward.

The Great Saint’s energy was like tides, overwhelming, the Great Dao resounded with roars.

His steps employed Wind Escape Step, reaching extreme speed, closing in on the first Demon Saint before anyone could react.

This was a Dharma Level Demon Saint, Bai He of the Profound Crane Sect, battling against Gao Peng, relying on his peerless speed, he had inflicted numerous wounds on Gao Peng.

As Wei Fan approached, Bai He realized, his face filled with horror as he attempted to flee, yet Wei Fan’s Great Saint Level cultivation alongside the Wind Escape Step, which harnessed Wind Power, was faster.

As Bai He realized a powerful being was approaching, Wei Fan’s hand already reached out like Five Finger Mountain, slamming it down onto Bai He’s head.

"Boom!"

Even though Bai He of the Profound Crane Sect possessed strength surpassing a human genius like Gao Peng of the same level, he couldn’t withstand Wei Fan’s single slap; he didn’t manage to scream before he was reduced to pulp, feathers scattering all around.

"Who?"

This moment shocked everyone, all noticing the sudden appearance of a Great Saint powerhouse.
