Chapter 640: Chapter 6: Great Victory
Chu Feng’s years of experience fighting the Central Continent saved him. He activated his Defensive Magical Treasure and flew out of the Flying Boat without the slightest hesitation.
Sure enough, not long after he escaped the Flying Boat, two beams of destructive Divine Light from the Tier Four Grand Arrays shattered the Flying Boat’s Defensive Array.
Once the Defensive Array was broken, even a Tier Four Flying Boat refined from all sorts of rare Spiritual Materials couldn’t withstand the terrifying destructive power of the Divine Light.
Under the Taixiao Law-Breaking Divine Light, the various Restrictions on the Flying Boat were swept away like dead branches and leaves. Meanwhile, the blazing Scorching Sun Demon-Slaying Divine Light began to melt the Flying Boat’s hull.
There were still nearly four to five thousand Demon Cultivators on the entire Tier Four Flying Boat.
With a loud BOOM, the Flying Boat’s Spatial Restriction was shattered by the Taixiao Law-Breaking Divine Light. The Demon Cultivators were spilled out like sparrows from a sack. Before they could even react, they were burned to ashes by the blazing Scorching Sun Demon-Slaying Divine Fire.
They didn’t even have time to let out a single scream.
Chu Feng looked up. These two destructive beams of Divine Light were only a part of the Rescue Army’s terrifying offensive.
Attacks from all kinds of offensive Arrays were raining down from the sky like a meteor shower.
The Flying Boats of the Demon Sect’s joint fleet could only flee in disarray. Every so often, a Flying Boat or two would have its Defensive Array blown apart, its hull destroyed and crew killed.
The air was filled with a turbulent Spiritual Mechanism, so potent it even pushed the local Demonic Qi far away, artificially creating a Spiritual Acupoint in the sea, dense with Spiritual Mechanism.
Some of the Low Tier Demons in the sea, suddenly exposed to such pure Spiritual Mechanism, died instantly as if poisoned.
"How is this possible!"
’Chu Feng was experienced enough to tell at a glance that the Flying Boats capable of carrying such High Tier Grand Arrays had to be at least Tier Three. There was even a considerable number of Tier Four Flying Boats.’
’How can the Rescue Army have this much Power! This defeat isn’t our fault... the enemy is just too strong.’
Watching the Flying Boats sink rapidly into the sea, he fell into despair.
In this one battle, the Northern Continent had lost nearly thirty percent of its large, combat-ready Flying Boats. It was already difficult for their Demon Sect to construct Flying Boats; recovering from this loss would likely take a thousand years.
More importantly, according to the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint’s decree, the Northern Continent was supposed to give its all to help the Western Continent’s Demon Court annihilate the Six Sects over the next century.
’With the Northern Continent’s fleet of Flying Boats so heavily damaged, how could they possibly reinforce the Western Continent?’
The thought made Chu Feng burn with anxiety. He had ruined the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint’s grand plan. His only options were to defect to the Central Continent and cleanse himself of his Demonic Qi, or face the fate of death by a thousand cuts.
With their commander distraught and without a plan, the joint fleet naturally fell into even greater chaos, with each ship left to fend for itself.
Some Flying Boats even collided with each other while trying to evade.
Seeing the chaos, the Flying Boats on the periphery simply turned around and fled.
A few breaths later, the Rescue Army’s fleet descended from the sky. The Flying V formation, which was better suited for head-on confrontations, was no longer ideal for facing a routed enemy. However, the Rescue Army’s helmsmen were not yet skilled enough to change formations in the middle of battle, so they maintained the Flying V as they attacked the scattering Flying Boats.
Yang Jing watched the fleeing Flying Boats and issued an order to Si Taizhen:
"Order the Nascent Soul Cultivators to hunt down and destroy those Tier Two Flying Boats. The pursuit limit is one hundred and fifty miles."
A Nascent Soul Cultivator can easily use brute force to shatter their arrays and destroy a Tier Two Flying Boat. These Tier Two Flying Boats might seem insignificant in this battle, but they are capable of escorting cargo ships between the Western and Northern Continents.
This time, he wanted to make the Northern Continent truly feel the pain—at the very least, he would cripple their ability to support the Western Continent.
"This is the deep sea. Make sure they don’t get reckless and advance too far out of greed for merit."
Si Taizhen nodded. As the former Crown Princess of the Jade Poison Kingdom, she naturally understood the dangers of the deep sea.
Soon, streaks of Tunneling Light shot out in all directions, hunting the scattered Tier Two Flying Boats.
The great battle lasted for just over two hours, ending when the Demon Sect’s joint fleet saw its last Tier Three Flying Boat destroyed. It was a classic case of the strong preying on the weak, the superior crushing the inferior. All of the Demon Sect fleet’s Tier Three and Tier Four Flying Boats were obliterated. Even of the numerous Tier Two Flying Boats, only four or five vigilant and lucky ones managed to escape.
Yang Jing didn’t even spare the Demon Cultivators and Demons who had escaped the Flying Boats, ordering his own fleet to capture and hunt them down.
A few Cultivators on an Impact Boat, who were hunting down Demon Cultivators, looked with some regret at the slowly sinking Demon Sect Flying Boats.
The Demon Sect’s Flying Boats were mostly made of Demonic Materials that Cultivators couldn’t use, so there was little value in scavenging them.
The same went for the Demon Cultivators themselves.
If not for the fact that both Demon Cultivators and Demons could be exchanged for Merit Points, almost everyone would have flocked to hunt the Demons instead.
A Demon’s Essence Blood, Scale Hide, and sinews could at least be used for Talisman Making, Artifact Refining, and Alchemy, making them far more valuable than a Demon Cultivator.
However, in the deep sea, beyond their field of vision, the Wanhua Child was busy collecting the sinking Flying Boats and sending them into Yang Jing’s Inner World.
Ordinary Cultivators couldn’t use Spiritual Materials contaminated by Demonic Qi for Artifact Refining, but Yang Jing was an exception. To him, these destroyed Demon Sect Flying Boats were rare treasures.
If the space in his Inner World hadn’t expanded so greatly after he advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, he really wouldn’t have been able to fit all these Flying Boat wrecks.
Yang Jing had already begun ordering the Puppets and Ox Power Demons in his Inner World, along with the Profound Celestial Child, to dismantle and smelt the Flying Boat wreckage to extract usable Spiritual Materials.
The cost of maintaining a large army was enormous. Even with the wealth of the Western Continent’s Noble Families supporting him, leaving his funds relatively ample, Yang Jing still had to find ways to be frugal.
Once he used his True Martial Demon Vibration Power to cleanse the Demonic Qi from these Spiritual Materials, he could use them for mass Artifact Refining, which would in turn help consume the Merit Points accumulated by the Rescue Army.
Putting aside the matters of his Inner World, Yang Jing stood on the deck of his Flying Boat and gazed out. Impact Boats were returning fully loaded, escorting dejected Demon Cultivators and fiercely struggling Demons back to the main ship.
"Handle the tabulation of Merit Points properly. Investigate any cases of false claims or theft of Merit Points. Find a few examples and punish them severely as a warning to others," Yang Jing said to Iron Head, who was standing beside him.
The Rescue Army’s Merit Points could be exchanged for three types of exceptionally valuable Realm-Breaking Spiritual Pills: the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Golden Core Pill, and the Nascent Soul Pill. It was inevitable that some, eager for quick gains, would be tempted to take desperate risks.
If such evil deeds weren’t curbed in time, it would likely damage the Rescue Army’s morale.
Iron Head boomed his assent.
The battle itself lasted only two hours, but the cleanup afterward took a full five hours more. The Nascent Soul Cultivators sent to pursue the Flying Boats had even encountered a Great Demon lurking in the sea, leading to another fierce fight.
Yang Jing had to dispatch three Tier Four Flying Boats to finally annihilate these Demons.
A Nascent Soul Demon Saint might be tough and resilient, but it couldn’t withstand the bombardment from a Tier Four Flying Boat’s Grand Array.
