Wu Shattered Star River

The demons were not discouraged after their initial setback; they simply rested for two days and then resumed their offensive.

This time, the demons were much smarter. Upon reaching the vicinity of the city, they began a frenzied bombardment of the ground outside the city, blasting craters dozens of miles deep and destroying the underground formations.

After blasting open the underground formations, they began a full-scale attack on the city's defensive array.

Sure enough, this grand array was breached in just over ten days, but at the moment it was breached, the formation unexpectedly evolved automatically, transforming into an offensive array.

In the instant the light shield shattered, countless sword energies shot out, piercing through the demon army's ranks once more.

Subsequently, the Heavenly Court's army surged out, and the demons inevitably suffered another defeat, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

These two attacks were merely probing maneuvers, and even though the demons lost both times, Blood Wheel and the others didn't seem to mind.

The Heavenly Court's immortal arrays have always been strong. The Heavenly Court has a Department of Celestial Affairs, which houses the Celestial Mystery Daoist. This old madman never comes out and always stays inside. I guess he didn't even come this time.

His greatest interests are divining celestial secrets and researching formations.

Many of the Heavenly Court's most famous formations were developed by him. He is currently recognized as the number one formation expert in the entire Great Thousand World.

These two attacks were merely probing maneuvers. There will be many more rounds of probing attacks to come, until all the formations in the White Dragon World are identified and destroyed, before the final assault begins.

Blood Wheel and the others also understood that such a great battle could not be rushed. If they went all out from the start, not only would they suffer heavy losses, but they might also fall into a trap and ultimately be defeated.

With such a good opportunity this time, Blood Wheel and the others did not want to return in utter defeat, so they had to be cautious.

The God and Demon races, joining forces, possessed an absolute advantage in terms of experts and military strength.

They were not afraid of attrition and did not care about the deaths of some soldiers. As long as they didn't fall into a trap and as long as there were no unexpected events, they could crush the Heavenly Court with overwhelming force.

Two days later, the third wave of probing attacks began.

The city no longer had a defensive grand array, but there were still auxiliary offensive arrays within the city.

A green light shone from within the city, and then the Heavenly Court's soldiers and experts, as if injected with stimulants, roared and charged out, engaging in a bloody battle with the demon army.

On one side, demonic power was chaotic and suppressed, while on the other side, they were pumped up with stimulants, making the battle completely one-sided.

After a fierce battle for half an hour, the demons left behind hundreds of thousands of corpses and retreated.

Three days later, they continued...

At the same time, the demons mobilized millions of troops and began attacking the other cities, scouting and probing, to identify all the formations outside each city.

Fierce battles began in all five cities, and various formations were activated.

"The Celestial Mystery Daoist's formations are truly powerful!"

Jiang Han was observing the battle from within a city called White Snow City. He used his Myriad Transformations divine power to transform into an ordinary Immortal Venerable, hiding among the troops.

He did not come to fight, but to observe the battlefield.

The Violet Micro Heavenly Emperor was in this city, and it was because of her presence that Jiang Han was allowed to come.

Many formations were set up in White Snow City, some of which were extremely mysterious—for example, the formation here would cause rain to fall from the sky, and the rainwater had a terrifying corrosive effect. The first wave of the demon army collapsed as soon as they saw the city...

Later, the demon army continued to attack, and Jiang Han remained on the city wall, with Xuan Ji standing beside him. Xuan Ji was completely shrouded in a cloak, concealing her face and aura.

Seeing countless demons and Heavenly Court soldiers fighting, seeing countless lives dying, Xuan Ji couldn't help but put her hands together and begin chanting scriptures for salvation.

"Don't do that, you'll get me killed..."

Seeing Xuan Ji chanting scriptures, Jiang Han quickly led her down the city wall.

There were powerful demon lords in the air outside the city, and once they sensed it, they could easily determine Xuan Ji's identity, and then determine his identity.

If the demon lords forcibly attacked him, the Violet Micro Heavenly Emperor would be very passive.

Jiang Han retreated into a castle inside the city, and only after seeing that no demon lords were chasing after him did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Xuan Ji looked like a child who had done something wrong, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master."

"You're not wrong!"

Jiang Han thought for a moment and said, "But you must understand a principle: human nature is selfish. Everyone wants to obtain more material things and better things."

"There are tens of thousands of races in this world, and every race wants to become stronger, wants not to be bullied by other races, and wants to obtain better living conditions."

"Therefore, wars between races are inevitable. There is no right or wrong, no good or evil."

"You have a compassionate heart, which is a good thing, but when a knife is held to your throat, you may not resist. But if the enemy wants to kill all your clansmen, your relatives, your master, and your fellow disciples, then you have to resist."

"The Buddha is also very compassionate. When the God and Demon races attacked Mount Ling, the Buddha had to take action for the sake of all living beings."

"He killed many demon and god race experts. From that perspective, he is evil, but standing on the side of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, he protected many people, which is good."

"So... in my opinion, there is no absolute good or absolute evil in this world. Since you are following me, then you must open your eyes to see the myriad aspects of the world. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are all the laws of heaven, and slaughter and bloody battles are also the laws of heaven, all are reincarnation!"

Jiang Han's words stunned Xuan Ji. Her eyes became dazed, and she pondered for a long time before saying, "Master, this servant understands. This servant will forget her identity and will look at all living beings as an ordinary person, to experience the myriad aspects of life, to witness the joys, sorrows, and hardships of the world."

"Buzz ~"

After speaking, a green light suddenly lit up on Xuan Ji's head, and then black hair actually grew out of her little bald head.

She turned and walked into the room, and after waiting for a moment, she actually came out in a palace dress.

"Uh..."

Jiang Han's eyes widened when he saw it. Xuan Ji's appearance was already top-notch.

Before, with a little bald head and wearing a monk's robe, she was still a peerless beauty.

Now that her hair has grown out, casually tied up, and wearing a palace dress, the whole person has become graceful and unparalleled, beautiful and moving, as if she has become a different person.

Seeing Jiang Han staring straight at her, Xuan Ji's pretty face slowly turned red, and she asked a little nervously, "Master? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"No!"

Jiang Han shook his head and said a little awkwardly, "It's just that you are too beautiful, you have stunned me."

Xuan Ji's pretty face was flushed, and she said with her head lowered, "It's just a skin, Master, you are too attached to appearances."

"Cough cough!"

Jiang Han's old face turned red, and he coughed twice.

Xuan Ji appeared with a stick in her hand and said, "Master, I want to participate in the war, I want to integrate into this myriad of living beings, I want to experience the myriad aspects of life."

"This..."

Jiang Han was stunned. It felt like Xuan Ji was about to fall into the demonic path by following him in cultivation?

A Buddhist nun actually wants to go to war?

Is she preparing to kill? You must know that among the ten major precepts of Buddhism, killing is the first major sin.

Jiang Han glanced at Xuan Ji, and he couldn't help but say, "Have you thought it through? Once you take this step, you may never be able to turn back, and you may never be able to become a Buddha in your life."

"I have thought it through!"

Xuan Ji said with a firm gaze, "My Buddhist heart is already in chaos, and I can no longer see the path to becoming a Buddha. I can only take a risky path, either become a Buddha, or... become a demon."
