Chapter 450 Sudden Changes
The Yi Zhong Sword, which was already extremely powerful, became even more powerful after the upgrade, especially in terms of group attacks.
Wherever the Yi Zhong Swords passed, even the Blood Beasts would be easily killed. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Blood Beasts died under the Yi Zhong Swords.
The efficiency of killing was so astonishing that it surpassed that of any other Heavenly Master of the Nine Yang Elephant, which also shocked them. They looked at Lu Changjing as if they were watching a myth.
The reason why he could exert such amazing power was not only because of the promotion of Yi Zhongjian, but also because of this epiphany. Lu Changjing's Wanxiang Sword Technique had also improved a lot and was very close to perfection.
If nothing unexpected happens, with one more sudden realization, he would most likely be able to break through the shackles and advance to the perfect level.
The explosively increased power of the Yi Zhong Sword combined with the explosively increased power of the Wan Xiang Sword Controlling Technique, the two complemented each other, and the eruption of lethality was simply terrifying. The blood beasts around the Jiuyang Mountains were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few hours, the Jiuyang Mountains, which had been shrouded in darkness, had become as bright as day, no longer as gloomy and dark as before.
At this moment, Lu Changjing's ranking on the Vientiane Contribution List has risen by one place and is currently ranked...first!
The famous Young Master of the Heavenly Snake was also stepped under his feet and became Lu Changjing's stepping stone, ranking first on the Wanxiang Contribution List.
If the blood disaster was not imminent, this incident would have surely caused a huge uproar. Even so, it still caused a huge response, sweeping across the entire Nine Yang Elephant and even the entire Wanxiang Sect like a storm.
Even though everyone had guessed that Lu Changjing might be able to overthrow all the background households on the Wanxiang Contribution List and rank first, no one expected that his speed would be so fast.
It has only been a few years, and just by relying on the opportunity of a great blood disaster, he has been able to earn so much Wanxiang Contribution, which is equivalent to the accumulation of so many true princes in hundreds of years. It is too amazing.
"If I remember correctly, Lu Changjing should be the only one among the many true princes in the past tens of thousands of years who did not rely on the power of his family or the forces behind him, but mainly relied on himself to rank first on the Wanxiang Contribution List. There is no other true prince."
"Indeed, according to our investigation, more than 90% of the Wanxiang contribution earned by Lu Changjing in this great blood disaster came from killing blood earth beasts and blood sky beasts, that is, from Lu Changjing. Although Chang'an Xianchao also has several earth masters, they are all stationed in different industries and have not killed many blood earth beasts."
"Before, many people said that Prince Lu also relied on the power behind him, but it's nonsense to think about it. Although the Nine Sun Elephant is powerful, it is only a medium-level elephant. It can't even protect its own industries and resources. It is short of manpower, so how can it have extra power to help Prince Lu? On the contrary, Prince Lu has helped the Nine Sun Elephant a lot during this period. It is said that more than half of the dozens of heaven-level industries and resources of the Nine Sun Elephant have been saved by Prince Lu."
"The Nine Sun Elephants are so lucky that they were able to recruit a peerless genius like Prince Lu. It is said that even many of the Upper Nine Elephants have set their eyes on Prince Lu and want to snatch him away, but they were all rejected by Prince Lu."
"Prince Lu is still too stupid. If it were me, I would have joined Upper Nine Elephants long ago. Although Nine Yang Elephants has done him a favor, it was only a favor of a few years. This blood disaster can repay it. People go to high places and water flows to low places. Now that the favor has been repaid, I don't owe Nine Yang Elephants anything. Why not join Upper Nine Elephants and get better resources and treatment."
"Even the Five Elements Elephant, which ranks first among the Upper Nine Elephants, has extended an olive branch to Prince Lu, not to mention the other Upper Nine Elephants. Unfortunately, they were all rejected by Prince Lu."
……
In the face of absolute strength, those rumors had no basis at all. In just a few days, Lu Changjing rushed to the top of the Wanxiang Contribution List under the eyes of countless disciples in the Wanxiang Islands.
During this period, countless blood earth beasts, blood mysterious beasts, and blood divine beasts were killed, including blood sky beasts, which everyone could see.
From then on, no one said that Lu Changjing had connections, and that he was able to be listed on the Wanxiang Contribution List because of the power of the Nine Yang Elephant, the Hundred Flowers Elephant, the Lu family, etc.
After all, this statement is totally untenable. During this period, Lu Changjing has rescued the Nine Yang Elephant, the Hundred Flower Elephant, the Lu family and others many times. If they really have such strength, why do they need Lu Changjing to rescue them?
Because of this incident before, many elephants had made a fuss, hoping that Lu Changjing would also go to rescue them.
With just a little understanding, you will know that these rumors are complete nonsense and have no basis at all, and they can be easily debunked.
But no one expected that Lu Changjing would kill hundreds of billions of blood beasts on his own in this way on the main battlefield of the Vientiane Islands, and directly rush to the first place in the Vientiane Contribution List, shattering all the gossips.
Relying on the Yi Zhong Sword and the Wan Xiang Sword Controlling Technique, the number of blood beasts killed by Lu Changjing and the higher levels of them even exceeded that of most of the Tianzuns and Supremes. Only those Tianzuns above seven stars could compare with Lu Changjing in this regard.
However, in the huge Wanxiang Sect, there are no more than a hundred upper-level Heavenly Lords and Supreme-level Heavenly Lords of Seven Stars and above, and the rest are lower-level Heavenly Lords and middle-level Heavenly Lords.
Even if these upper-level Heavenly Lords and supreme Heavenly Lords had killed more blood beasts than Lu Changjing, it was normal in everyone's eyes. After all, their cultivation and strength were there.
Lu Changjing was different. He was only a one-star Earth Lord, but he was able to kill so many blood beasts and became the most dazzling existence on the battlefield. Blood beasts fell wherever he passed, which greatly alleviated the pressure on the Nine Yang Elephant and at least reduced the losses of the Nine Yang Elephant by more than ten times.
By the way, he also took care of the Lu family and the Hundred Flower Elephants. If there were more people, Lu Changjing would be unable to take care of them all. Although the Wanxiang Sword Controlling Technique and the Yi Zhong Sword were powerful, they were not invincible.
What's more, the blood beasts that are swarming in now are like waves, endless, one wave after another, with almost no time to rest.
Moreover, these blood beasts are different from the previous ones. They seem to know the weaknesses of each sky formation group in the Vientiane Islands, and often attack at these weak points, or key places such as the formation eyes, causing many sky formation groups to be severely damaged, and some sky formation groups to collapse from time to time.
In this situation, it is more difficult to defend.
The Wanxiang Sect has arranged an ultra-large top-level sky formation group in the vast Wanxiang Islands. It has even stepped half a foot into the realm of a higher level, covering the entire Wanxiang Islands. Its name is called the Wanxiang Sky Formation Group, which is also the foundation of the Wanxiang Sect.
In addition to this largest All-Things Heavenly Array Group, there are many smaller Heavenly Array Groups, which are arranged by various elephants. Basically, elephants above the middle hundred level will arrange top-level Heavenly Array Groups at their headquarters. Although they are not as powerful as the All-Things Heavenly Array Group, the combined power is in no way inferior to that of the All-Things Heavenly Array Group.
Moreover, the Universal Sky Array Group was also taken into consideration during the arrangement, and it can be integrated into it when needed to further increase the power of the Universal Sky Array Group. The Universal Sky Array Group can also amplify these top-level sky array groups.
As for those Lower Wanxiang, although only a part of them have arranged the sky formation group, the others have basically arranged the ground formation group, and can also be integrated into the Wanxiang sky formation group.
These sky formation groups and ground formation groups can be flexibly mobilized, and can even break out of the Wanxiang sky formation group to attack the blood beasts outside.
For example, the Nine Yang Sky Formation group of Nine Yang Elephants, controlling the Nine Yang Mountains, can rush out directly and crush countless blood beasts.
At this moment, many sky formation groups and earth formation groups that had not been integrated into the Wanxiang Sky Formation group were defeated one after another by the blood beasts that seemed to be assisted by gods. Many of them collapsed, and the remaining ones were so scared that they hurriedly integrated into the Wanxiang Sky Formation group. They dared not act alone and kill the blood beasts around them.
Even so, this fusion has flaws. Those blood beasts with confused minds can find these flaws from time to time, and then bombard them, damaging or even destroying these formations.
Even some of the core points of the Wanxiangtian Formation became the focus of attack by the blood beasts. This made the Wanxiang Sect quite puzzled, and they didn't understand how these blood beasts did it.
His mind was clearly in a mess and his whole body was emitting a chaotic aura, so how could he still find the flaws and the key points of the formation so accurately and launch an attack on them?
This action also broke out suddenly. In just a day or so, most of the various sky formations in the Vientiane Islands were damaged. Some of them even collapsed directly, causing a large number of casualties among warriors.
If the Wanxiang Sect had not had a strong foundation, this wave of attacks would have likely created a gap, and a large number of blood beasts would have swarmed in. Even if they were able to survive this blood disaster, they would have to spend a lot of time and energy to make up for it afterwards. Lu Changjing naturally discovered something about this.
Fortunately, Lu Changjing has a good understanding of the art of formations, and is now also a low-level formation master. Yi Zhongjian is even more adept at group attacks, and has blocked many blood beasts that attacked the formation's key points and flaws.
Wang Jin told him these key points and flaws in the formation so that he could better rescue the disciples of Jiuyang Elephant. He didn't expect them to come in handy at this time.
"Ow..."
"Ah..."
"Woo..."
……
More and more blood beasts came like a tide, and many of them selectively rushed towards the center of the formation and the flaws.
Covering the earth and blocking out the sun.
The same scene also happened in many places in the Vientiane Islands.
At this moment, there are more than dozens of Blood Sky Beasts attacking the Jiuyang Mountains alone. Fortunately, there are not many high-level Blood Sky Beasts. Although Cai Chaoan and others cannot kill them, it is still easy for them to resist.
This also gave Lu Changjing the opportunity to kill those low- and middle-level blood beasts to prevent them from destroying the core and flaws of the Nine Yang Sky Formation.
Even so, there was still a fish that slipped through the net and hit the weak spot of the Nine Yang Sky Formation heavily.
"Boom..."
Amidst the deafening roar, the light shield of the Nine Yang Sky Formation Group fluctuated violently, and cracks suddenly appeared.
"The size is as you wish!"
"Nine Dragon Sword Technique: Spanning All Directions!"
……
At the critical moment, Lu Changjing scattered a handful of heavenly-level talismans, severely weakening the strength of the blood beasts outside. The Nine Dragon Sword Technique followed closely behind. The man and sword became one and directly pierced through several low- and middle-level blood beasts. He also repelled the high-level blood beast that almost smashed the formation's light shield, thus saving the Jiuyang Mountains.
At the same time, several low- and medium-level blood beasts were directly killed by Lu Changjing, and their bodies were also collected by him.
"it is good."
“Thanks to Chang Jing, otherwise the loss would be huge.”
……
Several Heavenly Lords were shocked and praised Lu Changjing highly.
At this moment, Lu Changjing had already discovered something was wrong. The power of the earth soul was fluctuating, and he wanted to find out what was going on.
According to past records, these blood beasts are not so smart that they can even find the flaws and key points of the top-level sky formations.
If this situation happened occasionally, it would be fine and could only be said to be a coincidence, but it happened many times in a row. This time, the one attacking the flaw in the formation group was a high-level Blood Sky Beast. It was obvious that it was aiming at the flaw and attacking. It could not be called a coincidence.
As everyone knows, the blood beasts' minds are in a mess most of the time, and they are simply unable to practice any secondary jobs. Their abilities in this area are very low. The blood beast with the highest attainment in formations known so far is only a Xuan Formation Master, and he has practiced to this level during the short period of time when he is awake. It is unknown how many years it has accumulated to practice to this level.
Even so, it has reached its limit and is unable to see through the flaws and the center of the top-level sky formations, but now a blood beast has discovered it.
Moreover, he took advantage of the Nine Yang Elephant's inattention and launched a sudden attack, almost breaking through the Nine Yang Elephant's defense and causing heavy damage to the Nine Yang Elephant.
At the same time, Lu Changjing also discovered that the same scene was happening in other places. Many elephants that were unable to react in time had their defenses breached. Many elephants that rushed out with the support of the Wanxiang Sky Formation, driving various warships, floating islands, palaces... were all breached, and countless Nine Yang Elephant warriors inside died one after another.
Even the Wanxiang Sky Array was crumbling, the light on it was flickering violently, and some cracks appeared.
If it weren't for the critical moment when they absorbed the energy from the Earth Stone and Sky Stone at all costs, it would have been broken. Even so, the consumption this time was far greater than the previous blood disasters. Even the destructive absorption caused damage to the Wanxiang Tianzhen Group, which would take a lot of time to repair.
Something was wrong, Lu Changjing continued to investigate but found no trace.
However, it is obvious that the seemingly chaotic group of blood beasts outside seems to have a certain pattern.
At the core of the blood beast group, dozens of blood beasts can be found that remain awake, looking at the Vientiane Islands coldly and giving orders at the same time.
However, his figure quickly disappeared among the group of blood beasts, as if he was afraid of being tracked.
Lu Changjing wanted to investigate the situation, but seeing the increasingly surging group of blood beasts around him, he couldn't get away at all. He could only activate the Yi Zhong Sword again and rush towards the countless blood beasts.
Moreover, that group of blood beasts was located at the core of the blood beast group, surrounded by high-level blood beasts everywhere. With Lu Changjing's current strength, it would be difficult for him to rush in.
Moreover, his defense is not enough to ignore a group of high-level Blood Beasts. Facing the siege of a large group of high-level Blood Beasts, he is also likely to die, which would be equivalent to wasting a clone of the Earth Lord in vain.
Lu Changjing would never do such a stupid thing, so he should look for another opportunity.
At the same time, from the depths of the blood beast group that Lu Changjing and many Wanxiang Sect disciples were unaware of, a low voice was heard, full of regret and pity.
They were obviously regretting that this sudden attack failed to break through the Vientiane Islands, which was a waste of their years of planning.
