The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 714 - 401 Past Story (Extra)_2

She knew this. The so-called brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons go to battle together; they have always been the most ruthless and the bravest.

"You also know the physique of cultivators; the deeper the cultivation, the smaller the chance of leaving offspring. The War Beast Corps, composed of bears, wolves, lions, elephants, and so forth, generally have lower cultivation levels, all below the Wanxiang Stage, hence they have relatively good fertility." He discussed this ambiguous topic seriously, making Ning Xiaoxian too embarrassed to blush.

She wasn’t too slow; she also figured out something at this moment and exclaimed: "Could it be, he wants to use the Dragon Elephant Fruit on the War Beast Cavalry!"

"Exactly." He approved of her and glanced at her, this girl’s reaction speed has greatly improved lately, "The Dragon Elephant Fruit can grant massive strength to demons below the Wanxiang Stage. During the Ancient Times, among the Barbarians, there was a Barbarian Elephant Corps, all of whose members consumed the Dragon Elephant Fruit. Their strength was so great that they could lift heavy cauldrons and split mountains, and wherever they went, they were like a steel torrent, invincible. The news of the Dragon Elephant Fruit being replanted immediately reminded Yin Jiu You of the past; he intends to use it to create such a war weapon."

She pondered and frowned, saying: "With a great monster like you around, what use would there be for the lower-level Demon Soldiers to consume the Dragon Elephant Fruit? Cannon fodder is just cannon fodder, can they withstand the crushing by the Ba Snake?"

"You don’t understand." He looked at her helplessly, "When the Ancient War just started, those above the True Immortal Realm generally stayed behind the scenes and did not personally sway the battle situation; otherwise, they would be attacked by other immortals."

"Why?"

He smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes: when two tigers fight, one is bound to get injured. At the True Immortal Realm and above, everyone’s capabilities are not far different; so-called killing a thousand enemies, self-injury eight hundred, if I want to take down White Tiger, the price I pay is also very heavy, at least losing one realm. At that time the world did not lack great powers among the immortals; who knew whether during the fight between the snipe and the clam, there’s a fisherman lurking by? Those capable of cultivating to the True Immortal Realm were all cunning, they would absolutely not let others profit from their losses. So, the war was actually pushed behind the scenes by various immortal demons, and those who fought on the battlefield were these demons and cultivators with moderate and lower cultivation."

He sighed: "It’s just that during the later stages of the war, everyone was blinded by combat and could no longer care about so much."

She understood a bit. These great powers among immortals were like nuclear weapons, normally they serve as ultimate deterrence, and no reckless person would easily take them out to fight others. Because the consequences, that triggered chain reaction, is unbearable by anyone. In that kind of war, there are no final winners.

"If you had some knowledge of the military, you would know that real battles always break out on the ground." Changtian sipped his tea, "Don’t underestimate the War Beast Corps. If they can consume the Dragon Elephant Fruit, each one could fend off ten, so which way the scales of victory would tilt is indeed hard to say. Especially those demon sects in the north with War Beasts, all of which are demon species known for their strength like elephants and lions; once they form large-scale organized units, they are very challenging to deal with in war. After consuming the Dragon Elephant Fruit and stacking the power multiple times, they will be even harder to match on the battlefield."

She kept silent. Indeed, in the era of cold weapons, ground combat was all about the number of troops, strength, and size.

He sighed softly again: "The battle in the north has been going on for over two hundred years, in which at least a hundred thousand various demon cultivators and human cultivators have perished! What a huge amount of Soul Power it is! Yin Jiu You’s avatar only shared a very small part of it, most of it was saved up, waiting for his original body to break free!"

A hundred thousand cultivators died on the battlefield! With her current calming skills, her mouth still gaped open unable to close. Such a huge amount of Soul Power, converted to the Soul Power of ordinary mortals, that would be equivalent to the soul power of forty million mortals! The Earth where she was born had only a population of six billion.

She even guessed, Yin Jiu You’s avatar must have used Blood Essence or Cold Devouring Fish to collect all these Soul Power and Life Force. The worst news is, Yin Jiu You himself has been free for so long, how much his strength might have recovered to?

"Changtian." She uncertainly tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Yin Jiu You, having absorbed the equivalent of forty million mortals’ Soul Power, wouldn’t his strength surge tremendously? If you break free, can you defeat him?" For a long time, she had always believed deeply in his abilities, after all, this guy has truly become a God, with a Divine Position, and can receive mortal’s worship.

He pulled out a smile, yet the smile did not reach his eyes. There, only a cold light shone: "You underestimate me, and you underestimate Yin Jiu You too." He said word by word, "Do you know, how many gods and demons perished in the Ancient War? Those combined Soul Powers are countless times stronger than the soul power of these mere hundred thousand half-rate demon immortals. Yin Jiu You schemed to absorb so much Soul Power, but that merely pushed him barely into the God Realm."

"After the Ancient War, I was locked in the God Demon Prison, and he didn’t fare much better than me, suffering great losses in Soul Power, even dropping two realms. Later, he barely recuperated for ten thousand years, and then suffered a big defeat in the Middle Ages War and was suppressed. Hehe!
