Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 410 - 408: Purple Flame Demon Lord

“Excellent!”

Lin Tiannan smiled and said, “Since Young Friend is willing to use a fourth-tier array to block the army of cultivators from Sangyu Country, why should Kunpeng Immortal City hesitate to provide some spirit light cannons? Chen Liang, how many do we still have in the arsenal?”

“Reporting to the Palace Master!”

Chen Liang clenched his fist in a salute and said, “We still have a hundred and sixty-four spirit light cannons.”

“Good.”

Lin Tiannan said in a deep voice, “Equip these cannons with sufficient ammunition and transport them all to Liuhua Island. Let Young Friend Ning designate their placements, and send our best artillerymen to operate them. In this battle, Kunpeng Immortal City must make the thieves from Sangyu Country shed a layer of skin!”

“Yes, Palace Master!”

…

The next morning.

Ning Daoran arrived at Liuhua Island with a massive fleet of transport ships, and on a map, he marked over a hundred combat-ready cannon positions, handing them all to Chen Liang. Then, flying boats from Kunpeng Immortal City came hovering over, lifting massive cannons to the locations marked by Ning Daoran, and countless cultivators and craftsmen began bustling.

Furthermore, a large number of cultivators poured into the Three Liuhua Islands; Liuhua Island’s backside harbor filled up with ships, enveloping the entire island with a tense pre-battle atmosphere.

In Liu Hua Square, Ning Daoran issued an island master’s decree, informing everyone that a great battle was imminent, although Liu Hua Square would not completely shut down. Those unwilling to participate in the battle were to leave Liuhua Island, and the storefronts would be fully sealed, with everything resuming after the battle.

Those willing to stay had to go to the frontline registration center of Kunpeng Immortal City to register their realm and name, and then they would be rewarded based on their achievements in battle according to Kunpeng Immortal City’s standards.

Liuhua Island had always been a gathering place for independent cultivators. Immediately, half of the independent cultivators dispersed like birds and beasts, while the remaining half included some who went to register and others still waiting and watching, hoping to profit from this major battle of the cultivation world.

Several days later.

Along the coastal area, numerous arrays stood tall, not only was there the fourth-tier White Feather Flowing Sound Array set by Ning Daoran, but also countless other arrays laid down by array masters from Kunpeng Immortal City, forming a dense point formation defense.

On the mountain peak, multiple spirit light cannons stood imposingly, their dark mouths aimed toward the east. Ning Daoran opened all Cave Mansions on the island, even transforming part of them into infirmaries for cultivators who were injured in the battle for treatment and recovery.

Moreover, to be absolutely prepared, he entrusted Huang Yiyi with a large number of storage bags, storing all spirit stones, treasures, spiritual medicines, and spirit rice from Liuhua Island’s treasury inside them.

The fighting spirit to perish together with the enemy is one matter, leaving a way out for oneself is another; these two must be clearly distinguished.

…

Several days later, on the eastern side of Liuhua Island, spirit boats bearing the Sangyu Country battle flags began to appear dimly on the sea surface.

“Boom, boom, boom~~~”

On Liuhua Island, the sound of thundering war drums arose.

On the highest mountain peaks, ten war drums made from third-tier demon beast pelts stretched across, played by ten late-stage Liquid Condensation Blood Qi Martial Artists, whose bodies seemed never to tire, fervently drumming as if they could almost spit out their tongues.

Ning Daoran glanced at them, his mind filled with speechlessness.

“The great battle is imminent.”

True Monarch Liu Yun smiled lightly, “Ning Daoran, feeling nervous?”

“Nervous?”

Ning Daoran smiled slightly, “This is not the first time I have seen such a spectacle, it is nothing significant. However, if the Nascent Soul cultivators from Sangyu Country start to attack the array, we might not be able to hold on for long.”

“Worry not, our reinforcements will arrive soon.”

“Excellent!”

Not long after, indeed, a large number of cultivators entered from the western route to the backside of Liuhua Island, with treasure boats flying overhead. Among this force was one from the Liangyi Sect, with True Monarch Qi Xing leading Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang as they returned once more.

“Brother!”

“Senior Brother Ning!”

Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang floated over, their faces filled with joy.

True Monarch Qi Xing then swooped to Lin Tiannan’s side and said, “Fellow Daoist Lin, Sangyu Country’s momentum is fierce!”

“Indeed so.”

Lin Tiannan clasped his fists and smiled, “With the strong support of Liangyi Sect, I’m deeply grateful!”

“Not at all!”

After a short while, more spirit boats appeared from the west, each bearing a Furong battle flag.

People from the Furong Immortal Palace had arrived!

Above the Spirit Boat, a strikingly beautiful female cultivator, accompanied by a group of female disciples, descended from the flying boat with the grace of riding the wind. It was none other than Lin Baoping, who had once met the Independent Practitioner Jianjia, an alias of Ning Daoran, in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm.

Additionally, there was another stunningly beautiful young woman in the peak of her beauty elegantly managing her skirt as she lightly stepped down from the largest spirit boat.

Monarch Ling Fu, the Palace Master of Furong Immortal Palace, a Nascent Soul Mid Stage Cultivator!

“Master!”

Lin Baoping and the other female cultivators who landed first on the mountain peak greeted with smiling salutes.

“Mhm.”

Monarch Ling Fu nodded with a smile and then turned to Lin Tiannan, True Monarch Qi Xing, and others, saying with a laugh, “Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Taoist Qi Xing, and Fellow Taoist Liu Yun, long time no see!”

“Greetings to Fellow Taoist Ling Fu.”

Everyone reciprocated with salutations.

In that moment, Ning Daoran also felt slightly more reassured inside, knowing that Liangyi Sect and Furong Immortal Palace had come to aid, signifying that Xia Country’s Cultivation World did not intend to finish the battle at Liuhua Island and leave. They truly planned to defend Liuhua Island.

This was immensely good news, for Ning Daoran had spent years managing Liuhua Island, and if it were razed, his losses would be greatest.

Although Lin Tiannan had mentioned compensating for everything, realistically, full compensation was unlikely; such matters always involved some discounts.

…

“Dong Dong Dong~~~”

Finally, the sound of war drums from Sangyu Country arrived.

Numerous cultivators soared through the air, and large ships breached through the waves like massive beasts emerging from the deep seas. The sight of those crimson battle flags fluttering in the sea breeze was heart-thumping.

Following the sound of the war drums, several Sangyu Country battle ships began changing course, maneuvering to either side.

“Not good!”

True Monarch Qi Xing frowned and said, “They are trying to circumvent our front defenses and launch attacks from the sides or even from behind?”

“No matter.”

Lin Tiannan squinted his eyes and smiled, saying, “Rest assured, fellow daoist, we are prepared.”

Soon after, two loud booms emanated from the north and south sides of Liuhua Island, making the whole island tremble and buzz, as if something massive was happening deep in the waters below.

“What’s going on?!”

Monarch Ling Fu squinted her beautiful eyes and extended her Nascent Soul Divine Sense to look.

Ning Daoran also released his Divine Sense and saw giant whirlpools appear on the seas to the north and south of Liuhua Island. These whirlpools, with radii ranging from several miles to dozens of miles, split the seawater apart. The Sangyu Country’s large ships attempting to flank were instantly swept into these whirlpools and torn to pieces.

For a moment, Ning Daoran’s pupils constricted—such strong Array Power fluctuations!

“Roar~~~”

A dragon’s roar vibrated over the sea, with waves churning as a pale figure tumbled and partially concealed itself within the water, resembling a white dragon turning the rivers and seas upside down!

“Could it be…”

Monarch Ling Fu smiled and said, “The legendary White Dragon Sea Splitting Formation?!”

“Exactly!”

Lin Tiannan stroked his beard and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Liu Yun arrived here half a month earlier and has already set up a Fourth-tier Middle Grade White Dragon Sea Splitting Array deep in the ocean, hmm… the Array Flags and Array Plates of this formation can move by themselves deep underwater. As long as Fellow Daoist Liu Yun is here, Sangyu Country’s warships can only approach from the front!”

“I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Liu Yun to be capable of constructing such a divine array like the White Dragon Sea Splitting Formation…”

True Monarch Qi Xing clenched his fist in a salute, “I deeply admire this!”

“You flatter me.”

Several Nascent Souls then exchanged polite praises and reciprocal commendations.

Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes, carefully sensing the operation of the White Dragon Sea Splitting Formation with his Divine Sense; indeed impressive, this array technique was incomparably mysterious—it was not at all apparent at first glance, Demon Lord Liu Yun truly was a genius!

Outside the island, over the sea, numerous Sangyu Country cultivators cursed Xia Country for lacking martial virtue, secretly harboring Killing Arrays.

It mattered little to their cultivators, all capable of flying high and fearless of the White Dragon Sea Splitting Formation, but since Sangyu Country came from far to wage war, their resources and a great amount of heavy equipment were on the warships, like those Storage Bags and Storage Rings that could not simply be taken off, had to be kept on the ships.

Now that the warships had suffered severe damage, they were greatly disadvantaged in terms of long-range shelling.

…

“Buzz~~”

In the eastern mists, a figure arose majestically, hundreds of feet tall, apparently a Nascent Soul cultivator’s manifestation. He, dressed in military armor and holding a saber wreathed with purple light, calmly stated, “Fellow Daoists, no need to panic, it’s just a mere White Dragon Sea Splitting Array. Please, follow me, and let’s charge the front and flatten the Three Liuhua Islands!”

With those words, he suddenly swung his saber, and instantly, a streak of purple saber light split the heavens and earth!

“Peng—”

The White Feather Flowing Sound Array trembled, and a humming sound echoed continuously.

‘Fuck…’

Ning Daoran’s heart quivered from the opponent’s saber light; this person was no ordinary Nascent Soul!

“Not good…”

Monarch Ling Fu slightly furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, “Sangyu Country is really staking it all, even the Nascent Soul Late Stage Purple Flame Demon Lord has come?”

“Purple Flame Demon Lord…”

Ning Daoran frowned. Putting aside anything else, just hearing this name felt incredibly powerful; he had previously thought about his own Nascent Soul stage pseudonym, calling himself Sunstorm True Monarch… But compared to his, there was a significant difference in the imposing presence!
