Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 292: The Shadow of the Giant God, the Mighty Floating Sky City

"Roar!"

The beings parasitized by the Eternal Life Bud are not only humans, but also various wild beasts, Spirit Beasts.

After the Integrated Union transforms into a Gold Core, the form of the remnants of eternal life undergoes a tremendous change.

Firstly, their size. As they are transformed from millions of living beings through Integrated Union, the form of each remnant of eternal life is extremely massive.

The smallest ones are hundreds of meters tall, while the largest ones are as huge as eight hundred meters, resembling small mountains.

Apart from their size, what impresses people the most about the Gold Core level remnants of eternal life transformed by Integrated Union are the countless branches and tentacles that cover the sky.

At this moment, each remnant of eternal life has tens of thousands of tentacles, whipping around wildly like whips.

These tentacles can also intertwine and weave together, forming various peculiar tools or weapons.

For example, some of the "smaller" remnants of eternal life, about a hundred meters tall, have woven their tentacles into wings. At this moment, these monsters are flapping their wings and flying towards the Floating Sky City, Qiantian.

With a huge reserve of life energy (Integrated Union of millions of remnants of eternal life), although these monsters are large in size, they are still very fast as they recklessly consume the life energy within them.

In a very short time, dozens of "small" remnants of eternal life, flapping their wings, have arrived near the Floating Sky City.

Then, they were stopped.

The first ones to take action were not Zhong Cang, nor the cultivators in the Cloud Firmament Sect's base—they had been defending desperately for months (due to the time difference between the Hongxuan Continent and the Azure Ash World) and were already exhausted, with little mana left to counterattack or defend the Floating Sky City.

The ones who took action were the active cultivators in the Floating Sky City.

Zhong Cang had long said that the Floating Sky City was not just a simple weapon, but also an aerial combat platform.

In addition to being able to attack and defend on its own, it can also serve as a vehicle, carrying tens of thousands of cultivators to the battlefield.

At this moment, although there are not hundreds of thousands of cultivators inside the Floating Sky City, there are still sixty to seventy thousand.

The reason for this large number is also related to Zhong Cang, who controls the Floating Sky City.

Previously, whether it was sweeping and crushing the resistance of many demonic sects, or teaching and enlightening sentient beings with the Heavenly Heart technique, Zhong Cang had accumulated a great deal of fame in the Cloud Firmament Sect.

This fame made Zhong Cang's every command in the Cloud Firmament Sect met with unanimous response.

Just by expressing his intention to go to the lower realm to fight, countless people fought to follow him.

—The reason for following him, besides the enthusiasm of the youth, was also the desire to achieve merit.

"The remnants of eternal life in the lower realm are indeed powerful, but since Senior Brother Zhong Cang has been undefeated in every battle, invincible in the world, with him leading the way, Cloud Firmament Sect will surely win this battle."

"The credit for expelling the remnants of eternal life will naturally belong to Senior Brother Zhong Cang, but the remaining credit will be enough for me to exchange for some resources."

"What resources do you want to exchange? If you want to learn the Heavenly Heart technique, you have to go to Senior Brother Zhong Cang. He is still sentimental. When he first taught the Heavenly Heart technique, besides attaching the Second Realm of the Heavenly Heart to his close associates, he also attached the Second Realm of the Heavenly Heart to the Xuan Yuanjie cultivators who fought alongside him. Even the low potential outer disciples, because of their camaraderie, even if they couldn't learn it, Senior Brother Zhong Cang would still imprint that Heavenly Heart in their souls."

They felt that Zhong Cang's victory in battle was certain and not very dangerous.

They could also achieve merit and get closer to Zhong Cang, which naturally made everyone fight to join him.

Of course, even with the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect, Zhong Cang still couldn't fill up more than half of the Floating Sky City.

After all, although the Cloud Firmament Sect has many disciples, they also control many lower realms, and there aren't that many disciples with leisure time within the sect.

Within the Cloud Firmament Sect, Zhong Cang only recruited about ten thousand people.

The remaining sixty thousand are all Independent Cultivators, Foundation Building cultivators from small sects.

Their reasons for entering the Floating Sky City are the same as the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect—some want to earn merit by helping the Cloud Firmament Sect and then exchange it for cultivation resources.

Another thing is to improve the relationship with Zhong Cang.

There are also some young independent cultivators who hope to perform well and be recognized by Zhong Cang, becoming his disciples. That would be a true leap to the heavens.

At the same time, the last kind of idea is the thought of many independent cultivators who believe that they have a great chance of success.

As for the reason, there are precedents for this.

When Zhong Cang took Ling Que as his disciple, many people saw it as not caring about the difference in status.

Under Zhong Cang's guidance, Ling Que indeed obtained countless cultivation resources, cultivation treasures, and excellent cultivation environment, which made countless people envy and jealous.

Because of this, many independent cultivators with this idea joined Zhong Cang.

...

Because of Zhong Cang's prestige and appeal, even though it was the first time Floating Sky City went to battle, it still gathered a large number of people.

At this moment, these cultivators are using various means to fiercely attack the Gold Core-level remnants of immortality that they want to get close to.

"Flying Sword, strike!"

"Swift!"

"Fire Dragon Technique!"

"Thunder Summon..."

"Soul Piercing..."

"Boom..."

Tens of thousands of cultivators launched their attacks together, and the scene was quite shocking.

Sitting in the Qian Tian Hall, Zhong Cang watched the battle from a high position using the Qian Tian Mirror, and he could clearly see that numerous spells were released together, even causing the colors of the heavens and earth to change.

"Boom..."

The colorful torrent of spells bombarded the bodies of the remnants of immortality, actually blocking their approach and causing them to scream in pain.

However, Zhong Cang also discovered that many Foundation Building-level independent cultivators could only block the remnants of immortality, but couldn't completely kill them.

There was nothing he could do. After watching for a while, Zhong Cang realized that although there were many Foundation Building-level cultivators and the spells they released were dazzling, there were only a few truly powerful spells.

Even the few outstanding Foundation Building-level cultivators couldn't cause much damage to the Gold Core-level remnants of immortality due to the difference in cultivation level.

After all, as descendants born from the power of the Heavenly Mother of Longevity, the remnants of immortality were not weak.

Although their current transformation was not a natural promotion, but rather forcibly formed by the aggregation of millions of remnants of immortality, they still possessed various powerful characteristics due to the power of the Heavenly Mother of Longevity.

The first one is vitality!

The aggregation of millions of lives made their vitality comparable to the vast ocean.

The remnants of immortality were already difficult to kill, and their immense vitality made them feel immortal.

Not to mention the spells at the Foundation Building stage, even the spells at the Gold Core level bombarded them, and these monsters could quickly recover by consuming their vitality.

The second one is evolutionary ability.

The improvement in cultivation level and the immense vitality allowed them to evolve more and stronger defensive characteristics.

In this short period of time, some Foundation Building cultivators despairingly discovered that their fireballs, lightning, and even flying sword strikes did not cause any damage to the remnants of immortality.

Moreover, some attacks were even absorbed by these Gold Core-level remnants of immortality as energy.

"This..."

This scene made many Independent Cultivators feel chilled.

On the other hand, the foreigners below were not too surprised. Instead, they showed expressions as if they expected it to be this way.

"Yes, just like this, undying and possessing the Transcendent's adaptive evolutionary ability. If the remnants of the immortals were not so strong, and if we, who are protected by the great gods, were not here, how could we lose!"

"Feel despair, arrogant cultivators. These are all things we have experienced before!"

Some people felt happy at the suffering of human cultivators, while others sighed with regret.

"Indeed, you are not opponents for these immortal remnants... The calamity gods, they are unstoppable disasters, the source of destruction that can annihilate everything."

"No one can stop them, no one can defeat them. All we can do is keep running, barely surviving!"

...

The foreigners had complex feelings towards these nearly undying immortal remnants. They were delighted that it made the "arrogant" cultivators suffer, but they also feared and hated its power. The situation was the same for the Independent Cultivators.

They discovered that their attacks were ineffective against the immortal remnants. As time passed, the Gold Core-level immortal remnants could ignore their attacks, and feelings of fear and dread appeared in their hearts.

During the continuous battles, when they discovered that the Gold Core-level immortal remnants had evolved the ability to attack, some people turned pale and almost fled.

"Boom!"

The sprout of immortality belongs to the wood element, which can generate thunder and fire.

In battle, many immortal remnants were burned by flames and unexpectedly evolved the ability to control fire. They transformed into fire trees and could condense fireballs to throw at the Independent Cultivators.

Such attacks were crude, but the immense life force allowed them to overpower ten opponents with one strike.

Just like now, a fireball condensed by an immortal remnant was hundreds of meters in size. The flames inside, transformed from wood and life force, were awe-inspiring.

If it landed among a group of cultivators, it could evaporate and incinerate everything within a radius of tens of miles, burning thousands of cultivators to ashes.

In addition to fire, there were also thunder and lightning, as well as a large number of spears and whips used by the immortal remnants.

Most of these attacks were simple and crude, but under the impetus of the immense life force, each one was extremely powerful.

Such attacks left the Independent Cultivators pale and terrified.

According to reason, Independent Cultivators without any organization could only take advantage of favorable situations. Once the situation turned against them, they would scatter.

In the current situation, their attacks were ineffective while the enemy's attacks were overwhelmingly powerful. The Independent Cultivators should have scattered and fled.

However, the final result was that although the Independent Cultivators had pale faces, not a single person retreated.

This was not because the cultivators gathered by Zhong Cang were exceptionally courageous, but because... they were not in immediate danger.

The Floating Sky City was not just equipped with offensive capabilities; it also had observation abilities. As an all-around combat platform, its defensive capabilities were also outstanding.

At this moment, all the Foundation Building cultivators were huddled at the edge of the Floating Sky City, with no one going out.

It is necessary to mention the strength of the cultivators. Almost every cultivator possessed one or two long-range attack spells, allowing them to stay inside the Floating Sky City and bombard the enemy from a distance like artillery.

This method of attack was stable and secure, and it didn't even require the consumption of spiritual energy to activate shields.

After all, the enemy's attacks were all blocked by the Floating Sky City.

Just like at this moment, the bombardment from the immortal remnants was indeed massive, but the Floating Sky City was equipped with the High Level Law Treasure, the Azure Dragon Wall.

Under the activation of the power of thunder, a magnificent and grand barrier enveloped the entire Floating Sky City. Within the dazzling and sturdy barrier, there were numerous vivid dragon shadows roaming.

These lifelike dragon shadows were not only beautiful, but also capable of launching attacks. They could intercept or detonate incoming attacks aimed at the Azure Dragon Wall.

Under the protection of the Azure Dragon Wall, all the Independent Cultivators remained unharmed. In this situation, they naturally would not flee.

As Zhong Cang sat in the Qian Heaven Hall, he watched the Independent Cultivators make mistakes without immediately launching an attack. He was waiting for the remaining remnants of the common people to approach. He also wanted to see how much power the Floating Sky City could unleash without him and whether it could break through the Gold Core level remnants of longevity.

As for the mistakes made by the Independent Cultivators, Zhong Cang didn't care. As the treasure of the sect, the Floating Sky City could only be utilized by those recognized by Zhong Cang and the Cloud Firmament Sect, in order to fully unleash its true power.

Just like now, after the Independent Cultivators made mistakes, the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect began to move.

They didn't attack the Floating Sky City like the Independent Cultivators did, crowding at the edge and using their own spells. Instead, they came to the martial arena of the Floating Sky City, spread out in formation, and sat on the formation nodes of the martial arena in the form of an array.

This was easy because the martial arena had already been inscribed with the array patterns by the array masters, and each node was numbered.

The trained cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect only needed to sit in the designated positions according to their training order and then output their spiritual power.

"Buzz..."

The large martial arena had 3,600 numbered nodes. At this moment, the 3,600 cultivators gathered their spiritual power together, activating the array on the martial arena.

"Boom!"

As the array was activated, endless array patterns, combined with the cultivators' spiritual energy, condensed into a tall divine figure.

With the concerted efforts of the 3,600 cultivators, the divine figure reached a height of 800 meters, resembling a giant god.

And this was not the end.

Arrays can be categorized as human arrays, earth arrays, and heaven arrays.

With only cultivators and without the advantage of geographical location and timing, this array could only be considered a human array.

However, the Floating Sky City had its own abundant energy, making its array not only a human array, but also an earth array.

"Boom..."

As the energy of the Thunderheart connected with the array and infused into the body of the giant divine figure, the shadow of the divine figure grew another circle, reaching a height of 1,300 meters.

With a wave of its hand, the High Level Law Treasure, the Qianyuan Bow, was held by the giant divine figure. Then, with the giant divine figure and the greatly magnified Qianyuan Bow, a slightly condensed arrow was released.

The posture of the giant divine figure shooting the arrow was not particularly remarkable, and the arrow itself did not transform into a blue dragon or a phoenix.

But the immense size and abundant energy made this arrow extremely powerful.

The arrow that was shot out was more like a meteor, a luminous arrow!

"Chi!"

As the arrow, resembling a beam of light, flew past, a Gold Core level remnant of longevity blocking the way was directly pierced and exploded by this dazzling and immensely powerful arrow.

"Boom!"

With the release of the arrow, the heavens and earth trembled.

This was the power of the Floating Sky City combined with the cultivators.

As a Law Treasure created jointly by the array Dao Sect and the weapon refining Grandmaster, it was not just an empty shell for cultivators to cast spells on.

Its greatest function was to serve as the foundation of the array and the energy core, amplifying the power of the cultivators by a hundredfold.

Since this array could amplify the power of fellow sect members, if Zhong Cang, as the leader of the array, naturally, it could also amplify his power.
