Black Angle City
Li Wen had received responses from three cities by now.
[Unable to provide support – Hold on.]
Li Wen naturally understood what this meant.
He clenched the token tightly without saying much.
A way to survive had to be fought for.
And it could only be fought for!
What if they couldn’t win?
If they couldn’t win, they would die!
There was only one thought in Li Wen’s mind: to hold out this time.
Then, he would find another opportunity to destroy Silver Moon City and wipe out the Silver Moon Clan.
Even though this idea seemed somewhat unrealistic, it was impossible to think about reconciliation when the enemy had come to their doorstep.
They had to think about eliminating the other side!
The battlefield between Silver Moon City and Black Angle City had turned into a fierce conflict from the moment they engaged.
The cultivators of Black Angle City were outnumbered, but each of them fought fiercely with the determination to bite the Silver Moon Clan cultivators, even if it meant death. This made the Silver Moon Clan cultivators very wary, causing them to fight somewhat hesitantly.
However, the lower-level cultivators were not the most crucial part of the battle. The most critical part was the Nascent Soul stage battle in mid-air. With a numerical disadvantage, Black Angle City had already suffered injuries in the Nascent Soul stage just moments after the battle began. They were spitting blood and getting pushed back by a barrage of spells.
Surviving this was already an achievement.
Snake Nine and his group were finding it extremely challenging to hold their ground. Fortunately, after Snake Nine and his group joined the battle, the situation temporarily stabilized.
Silver Moon Krazy remained unfazed. This was the outcome he had foreseen when planning this attack. He had taken all of Black Angle City’s strength into account, even factoring in the potential reinforcements.
Now, it was just the city’s last-ditch effort.
Following his attack plan, it would take at most five days for him to break through Black Angle City completely. Currently, half of Black Angle City’s strength was concentrated in this area. The other half was dispersed to two other battlefields. In that case, how long could the other two sides hold out? As long as Three-Tailed City and Goat Horn City weren’t utterly incompetent, Black Angle City would inevitably fall within a few days.
Silver Moon Krazy squinted; everything was within his control.
The fifth Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nest.
Su Yang opened the panel.
[Sword Intent (Harmonious Unity Stage): Level 249 (0/15-9 million)]
[World Origin: 2.54 million]
“Not enough…”
Level 249 was still insufficient, and it couldn’t even reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, Su Yang’s sweeping was not yet complete. As his strength increased, he could acquire more sentient will and world origin from sweeping these Evil Spirit Nests.
Unfortunately, world origin couldn’t increase his personal strength, but it could be used to upgrade the planets.
When he returned this time, the Da Xia World would experience a significant surge. And upgrading the Da Xia World afterward would be relatively easy.
For most cultivators, dealing with these Evil Spirits was complicated, but for Su Yang, it was straightforward, as long as he had enough strength. Lost in thought, Su Yang proceeded to the next Evil Spirit Nest.
Su Yang was not fond of the level classification of these Evil Spirit Nests. Although they were called Exuvia-level, he, at his current strength, couldn’t reach their innermost parts to witness the birth of the Evil Spirits.
In his opinion, with his current strength, he had only managed to reach halfway inside these nests. Su Yang wasn’t in a hurry, though. He knew he’d reach the core eventually.
Su Yang continued to sweep through all these Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nests at the fastest speed possible. But even with the speed, it still took some time.
The sixth Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nest.
After resolving this one, Su Yang’s level advanced to Nascent Soul stage. His Sword Intent level reached 258. At this point, Su Yang’s efficiency in clearing the Evil Spirit Nests improved significantly.
The seventh Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nest… Sword Intent level 266.
The eighth Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nest… Sword Intent level 275.
The ninth Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nest… Sword Intent level 286.
The tenth Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nest… Sword Intent level 299!
After swiftly handling ten Exuvia-level Evil Spirit Nests, Su Yang’s Sword Intent level had reached 299. He had reached the Nascent Soul stage, but it was not enough. He needed to go beyond the Nascent Soul stage and resolve the battle in one fell swoop.
Su Yang turned and headed to the next Evil Spirit Nest.
But the next Evil Spirit Nest was at the Nascent Soul level. Even the outer Evil Spirits had Nascent Soul-level strength.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. What used to be a short half-day was now incredibly long for the cultivators of Black Angle City.
The battlefield between Silver Moon City and Black Angle City had reached its climax.
Both sides were fighting with everything they had. Even though they could leave the source origin area of the star system at any time, none of them retreated. Silver Moon Clan wanted to wipe out Black Angle City in one fell swoop, while Black Angle City was determined to defend at all costs.
Despite this, Li Wen’s expression became increasingly grim as time passed. In just half a day, he had already lost two thousand points of the star system’s source energy. That was equivalent to two million units of world origin. Even for a large world, it was a significant loss.
If this continued, Black Angle City wouldn’t be able to hold out…
The battle had just begun, but the future was bleak. There were no variables in this fight. Even if they persisted, how long could they hold on? The destruction of Black Angle City was just a matter of time.
As Li Wen thought, he couldn’t see a way out of this battle, no matter how he looked at it. Continuing to hold out would only result in more losses. If they withdrew now, they could at least save a considerable amount of world origin.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t accept it. He couldn’t accept
Black Angle City being destroyed in this way. If that happened, the Black Angle Star Cloud would fall into a desperate situation. Black Angle City was their only hope, the last bastion preventing their complete annihilation.
But how could they find a way to change the situation and seek a different outcome?
For a moment, Li Wen was lost in confusion.
However, Silver Moon Krazy was far from confused. Everything was progressing according to his plan. His eyes flickered with excitement as he saw the battle unfolding as he had anticipated.
In the midst of their different states of mind, a figure appeared in the battlefield.
Silver Moon Krazy frowned, “Who’s this?” “Where is this Nascent Soul cultivator from?”
“It’s just one person; there’s nothing to fear.”
Although it was somewhat unexpected, Silver Moon Krazy didn’t pay much attention to the arrival of a single Nascent Soul cultivator. One more wouldn’t make a difference to the overall situation.
Li Wen, Snake Nine, and others couldn’t help but look at the new arrival.
It’s a member of the Human race, but who is it?
Dressed in white gradually fading to light black, with a giant starry sword that shattered darkness on their back.
“Which planet’s Nascent Soul cultivator is this? Snake Nine, do you recognize them?” Li Wen asked.
Snake Nine shook his head and replied, “I don’t. It seems… they’re not from
Black Angle City; perhaps someone from another city came to help.”
Both of them looked slightly puzzled. Sending reinforcements with just one person didn’t seem very effective.
At this point, Su Yang had successfully cleared the Evil Spirits from five of the
Nascent Soul-level Evil Spirit Nests. His Sword Intent had reached a level he
was satisfied with.
[Sword Intent (Sixth Layer of the Tribulation): Level 365 (0/27-5 million)]
Su Yang’s strength was now sufficient to deal with the three cities attacking Black Angle City directly.
When he arrived at the first battlefield, Su Yang quickly swept his gaze across the Silver Moon Clan cultivators. Most of them had auras of karma.
Although Su Yang had seen cultivators with karma levels in the hundreds before, there were quite a few in this group whose karma levels exceeded a thousand.
A total of thirteen of them..
