Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 269 - 245: Team Battle, Team Battle!
The intensely hot fireball, like the Rising Sun, crashed down ferociously, akin to a lump of iron thrown into a great river, and then... it silently dissipated.
Only a few ripples, a few splashes lingered.

"Pfft."
The thirteen Spirit Turtles responsible for the Long River Nine Bends Array didn’t even lift their heads.
As tools for the Immortal Sect’s covert operations, and distinguished in the midst of a crowd of Wood Element experts as the few Water and Earth Element Spirit Turtle Golden Cores, or rather, known for their defensive prowess as part of the Black Tortoise Clan of the Immortal Sect, controlling the Long River Nine Bends Array posed truly no problem for them.
They had even made a few modest improvements.
The Heavenly Dipper Seven Stars Formation with seventy-seven practitioners is mighty indeed, but that’s in open warfare. Now, you’re attacking a formation perfected over three hundred years, capable of connecting with the Spirit Vein, centered on a broken Fourth Order Formation Diagram, supported by many Third and Second Order Magical Treasures, now also sturdy with the seating of thirteen Black Tortoise Golden Cores. Do you think you can break this formation?
Oh... thinking too simplistically, aren’t you?
"Hey hey hey, don’t block so effortlessly, we want to lure the enemy deeper in, trap and annihilate them. If you block so casually like this, it’s really improper, remember, just barely defend, block three times and then show the formation fracturing slightly, creating a gap, let those people rush in!"
A Spirit Turtle’s shell was tapped vigorously by a Wood Element Golden Core.
Though it was just thirteen Spirit Turtles taking action, each Spirit Turtle had a Wood Element Golden Core ready to assist at any time; these beautiful ’big sisters’ were all rather ill-tempered, simply because they wanted to go out, kill, and plunder.
Although this time, the distribution mechanism was like a communal pot, with all spoils to be split evenly with Meng Yu, and individual gains were only a mere thirty percent, the remainder dispersed equally from a collective pool, yet... they still longed to charge into the fray.
Even a thirty percent share was substantial, not to mention upon seeing the attacks of these forty-nine weak Golden Cores, even the turtles thought, "Is this it, really?"
Together, the thirteen of them could definitely exchange blows with them!
...
Outside the gate.
All sounds suddenly vanished, everyone stared blankly at the intact core of the Long River Nine Bends Array, as if looking at some monster.
Such a huge fireball, such a fierce attack, just dissipated like fireworks?
"Bai Qianqian is one of the Nine Great Divine Beasts, not to be underestimated, but that’s all about it. Continue the attack."
Nan Gongkun was not discouraged but continued giving orders.
The formation of forty-nine practitioners resumed operation, drawing upon the Sun Strike, and after three minutes, another strike, this time shaking the formation of Moon-Watching Sect.
As the formation became more proficient, two minutes later, another strike was launched.
This attack nearly dimmed the crystal-clear light membrane of Moon-Watching Sect’s formation.
"The formation is broken!"
Someone shouted.
"Not yet!"
The next second, the formation returned to its original state, though a black crack had appeared in the northeast corner.
"Attack there!"
Nan Gongkun loudly commanded, and then, the next three attacks targeted that crack until it finally exposed an area completely unprotected by the formation, even revealing the core of the Moon-Watching Sect.
Next, the Heavenly Dipper Seven Stars Formation launched a few more attacks elsewhere, but they were all ineffective, and the black hole slowly began to heal!
It must be that the Eye of Array or a Magical Artifact had been damaged momentarily, and the Moon-Watching Sect was now hurrying repairs.
After several more attacks, the breach was still slowly closing, perhaps the Moon-Watching Sect had brought out some precious Magical Artifact.
"Charge in!"
Though they could have continued attacking, a visibly upset Nan Gongkun gave the command to attack.
Today, the debut of Sky-splitting Sword Sect was actually a failure. The first strike, which was charged the longest and was the most powerful, and even consumed a Spirit Talisman left by the ancestors, was supposed to shatter Moon-Watching Sect’s gate and make a name for themselves, but who would think it would drag on so tediously!
If today’s delay continued, tomorrow would be even worse!
With the Sect Leader’s order, the subordinates naturally obeyed. In the next moment, everyone exerted their full power for a triple attack, and then the team of forty-nine Golden Cores charged directly into the gate of the Moon-Watching Sect.
...
Meng Yu casually took the best seat in the rear area, watching a group of people charge into the gate of Moon-Watching Sect like mechanical squids from ’The Matrix’.
"Insane."
He coldly remarked.
...
The moment they stormed into the Long River Nine Bends Array, Nan Gongkun was prepared for various things such as changes in the formation or attacks by Divine Thunder, but the forty-nine, very smoothly, charged into the Long River Nine Bends Array, and into the gate of the Moon-Watching Sect.
They won!
All the Mountain Protection Arrays directed eighty percent of their strength outward; their internal defense was weak, and intruders could easily sabotage the controls for warfare and others. In short, once they breached, they won.
"Huh?"
Without turning back, he felt the Long River Nine Bends Array suddenly close behind him, severing thousands of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement Practitioners comprising the great army.
But then, what use was that?
"Hahaha, you insects of the Moon-Watching Sect, won’t you kneel and beg for mercy..."
He felt immensely pleased at this moment, prepared to enjoy those demons. Speaking of which, demons had their advantages...
Huh?
His eyes suddenly bulged like a bull’s, because he saw a massive group, truly a massive group of Golden Cores, waiting right before everyone.
Since when have Golden Cores been described in groups?
It was three large groups!
...
"Your people are really cautious."
Bu Shixian muttered, or rather, she was a bit scared.
These people were too ruthless.
The three hundred Golden Cores that had arrived were each capable of taking on two rough journeyers by themselves, yet rather than striking first at the opposing fifty, they resorted to using various schemes to ambush.
The Long River Nine Bends Array ensured this place was the main battleground for the three hundred Golden Cores, but that alone wasn’t enough; they even cautiously prepared two Great Formations of the 8th of September!
The last Formation, despite having fewer people and being named the 7th of June...can you guys have some shame!
Each of the three Formations could sweep through the entire Western Wastes on their own, yet you still measured the Spirit Vein trajectories inside the mountain gate beforehand, understood the effects of coordinating with the Long River Nine Bends Array, and even planted dozens of War Ancient Trees, creating a domain.
Bu Shixian had spent her life dancing on the edge of a knife, but upon seeing this kind of trap, her only feeling was, enough is enough!
This wasn’t a trap; it was murder!
...
The team of forty-nine stopped, and the Golden Cores that had been cocky before were now terrified.
Directly ahead, nearly a hundred Golden Cores, to the right, nearly a hundred Golden Cores, to the left, fewer in number, but behind them were thousands of Qi Refinement Practitioners and those with Foundation Establishment ready to support at any moment from the Great Formation, while behind everyone, the Long River Nine Bends Array sealed off everyone’s retreat.
A ferocious and arrogant man-eating wolf jumped over the wall with the help of trees only to see three groups of burly men, all fully armed with clubs, waiting for it just like that.
It was three groups, not three men!
"Sect Master Meng, it’s all a misunderstanding..."
This sentence rotated on the tip of Nan Gongkun’s tongue, yet he dared not speak it out loud, for morale would be finished if he did.
"Fight!"
The next instant, Nan Gongkun made a decision; he had heard that in some places, members of evil cults could hasten Foundation Establishment to achieve Golden Cores. He had also heard... hmm, he really had heard, that Meng Yu was the biological son of a Divinity Transformation, who came to the Western Wastes to start a business, and everyone said this guy was a real trickster, especially when he even showed a video clip before, containing scenes of thousands of Qi Refinement Practitioners in a Minor World becoming the Son of Heavenly Dao.
Nan Gongkun hadn’t seen that video, but he thought it was fabricated; how could such a thing exist? If such forces were real, then the number of Golden Cores in the sect would surely be over a hundred, right?
That’s the power of a large sect from the Central Plains.
But now, what did he see? He saw nearly three hundred Golden Cores!
He also suddenly recalled something Meng Yu had told the trading guild before: he wanted to unite the major sects of the Western Wastes to construct a large-scale Teleportation Array leading directly to the Central Plains, to let everyone get rich together.
How could there be any fools and naïve people leading others to wealth together?
All of this surfaced in his mind in an instant, but his steps didn’t stop; the Heavenly Dipper Seven Stars Formation, along with forty-nine Golden Cores, fiercely hammered towards the enemy in front of them.
When paths cross, the brave wins, just win.
But the next moment, his eyes were filled with despair!
The Golden Cores opposite them, their Formation was even more sophisticated than the Heavenly Dipper Seven Stars Formation!
Nearly a hundred Golden Cores, at that moment, seemed to transform into a boundless sea of flowers; atop each Golden Core, flowers bloomed overhead, displaying the full force of the Golden Cores, then the flowers shifted into a sea of flowers, then they all simultaneously swung down their swords!
My flowers bloom after which hundreds shall perish!
Perish!
Ninety-eight Golden Cores stood waiting here, gathering energy, merging with the Spirit Vein, all for that one sword strike.
An endless sea of flowers merged into a river, showcasing the terrifying force of ninety-eight Golden Cores executing their full power; countless flowers roared through it, flickering intensely but forming a great terror that crashed directly onto Nan Gongkun!
With a booming sound, the Heavenly Dipper Seven Stars Formation lost two groups!

The first group had four Golden Cores dead, three severely injured, and the other group had three Golden Cores dead, four severely injured!
The remaining Golden Cores felt their spirits shake and blood surge nearly simultaneously!
They thought the opponent would peel them off layer by layer like an onion due to numerical superiority, but the opponent was even more aggressive, opting for a direct clash!
And just in the first clash, they had already lost seven Golden Cores!
Everyone’s hearts sank, and just as Nan Gongkun was about to say something, the opposing team charged forward!
It was three teams, pressing forward all at once!
Subduing demons and eliminating evil, let’s stand shoulder to shoulder!
