Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 475:
He State, outside the Star River Sect
Cultivators from Yun State and He State were spreading the idea that all humans must unite to fight against the danger from the Yao tribe. They announced this message to everyone, calling on all allies to join in the battle against the Yao tribe.
In just a few days, tens of thousands of independent cultivators came to join the cause, and some cultivators who had fled from He State also returned. They had run away because they couldn’t see any hope of victory, but now that someone was willing to lead the fight against the Yao tribe, they felt there was hope for the human race and returned.
The combined forces of cultivators from the two states already numbered over a million soldiers and horses. Cao Ying ordered a counterattack against the Yao tribe, and a great battle erupted once again.
With the belief of driving out and destroying the Yao tribe, the cultivators from both states displayed great fighting strength. Although they didn’t manage to kill the Divine Ape Demon Emperor and the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor, they dealt a heavy blow to the common Yao tribes.
After relentless battles, the number of Yao beasts was reduced to less than three million, showing signs of defeat as they started to retreat gradually.
"Third Sister, Cao Ying is not strong enough to defeat the Divine Ape Demon Emperor, and Zhou Huaiying can’t defeat the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor either. If we keep fighting like this, it’s useless even if everyone dies."
Lin Jiang said to Lin Die that Cao Ying had fought the Divine Ape Demon Emperor many times, and their strengths were similar. The Divine Ape Demon Emperor was a top member of the Yao tribe, while Cao Ying was a genius of the human race.
"So what"
"If Third Sister can find a way, she can enhance their strength."
"Aren’t you afraid of the end of the world?"
"Third Sister, as the saying goes, ‘When it comes, accept it peacefully.’ In this vast world, we are just ordinary people, unable to resist the inevitable. It’s better to go with the flow and there might still be a glimmer of hope."
"Well said. It’s always comfortable dealing with smart people. After the battle today, ask Cao Ying to come find me."
Lin Die nodded in agreement. If Lin Jiang is willing to cooperate with her, it couldn’t be better as it would save her a lot of trouble.
Soon, a day of battle came to an end. Many demons were killed and they started to retreat, pulling back for hundreds of miles, almost driving the demons back to the Wilderness.
The demons of the He State, their leadership is not weaker than the human tribe, but the middle and lower levels are much weaker. After all, the elites of the two states’ human tribes are here.
Cao Ying quickly assigned tasks, then went to see Lin Die. Lin Die was decisive, she extended her hand and tapped Cao Ying’s forehead.
"These are extracts of Dao Rhymes I’ve taken. You can refine these Dao Rhymes to greatly increase your strength. How much you can refine depends on your abilities."
Lin Die said to Cao Ying, and Cao Ying looked at Lin Die in disbelief, her face full of shock.
Lin Jiang and the others were also terrified by this move, seemingly ordinary but profoundly shocking in its implications.
This shows that Lin Die’s existence may surpass the level of Tao Achieving, because Lin Jiang and the others have seen top Tao Achieving experts who could not achieve this.
"Master, master, I also want to receive master’s blessing."
Zhou Huaiying made a flattering expression, willing to be like a dog, not minding being a flatterer.
"You, these days, have been hoarding a lot of vital energy. Refine it well, don’t think too much."
Lin Die looked at Zhou Huaiying, giving a smirk as she said, and Zhou Huaiying’s face immediately froze.
Oh no, being found out.
These days of big fighting, Zhou Huaiying secretly released Blood Worms to refine blood essences. He thought he was being very sneaky, but he got caught.
"Master, I, I…"
"Don’t babble, refine those Blood Worms of yours, reach the peak of Tao Achieving within three days, and defeat the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor. If you don’t defeat him, I will defeat you."
Lin Die waved her hand, Zhou Huaiying seemed very loyal to her, but Lin Die knew that this guy was enduring humiliation.
But it didn’t matter, Lin Die was confident in this aspect. Even if Zhou Huaiying regained his strength, so what?

"Sword Sways Eight Directions"
Another day of fighting, Cao Ying still faced the Split Sky Divine Ape, using the same moves. But the Split Sky Divine Ape’s face looked bad because in just one day, Cao Ying’s strength had increased by at least thirty percent.
He had a slight advantage before, but now, he was becoming somewhat disadvantaged.
The Snake Dragon Demon Emperor, who is at the middle stage of the seventh level of cultivation, was at a disadvantage against Zhou Huaiying, who is at the peak of the Tao Achieving stage and no longer hiding his strength. The Snake Dragon Demon Emperor had no chance of winning against Zhou Huaiying now.
"Roar…"
Facing the Blood Worm released by Zhou Huaiying, the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor felt extreme fear and kept breathing out dragon breath to burn the Blood Worm to death. It already knew how the Wild Bear Demon Emperor died and didn’t dare to let the Blood Worm get close.
"Blood Sea as High as the Heavens"
Zhou Huaiying attacked with all his might, abandoning the techniques of the Tianxuan Sect and using the skills from the Blood Demon Manual, not afraid of his identity being revealed with Lin Die’s help.
While using a secret technique, the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor felt like he was trapped in hell, surrounded by blood mist, which stirred up his primal urge for killing.
"Divine Dragon’s Tail Swipe"
Slowly losing his rationality, the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor started recklessly charging, while Zhou Huaiying switched from offense to defense, using the Art of Blood Escape from the Blood Demon Manual to continuously taunt the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor.
"Uncle Dragon, be careful, calm down." freeweɓnovel.cøm
Next to them, the Divine Ape Demon Emperor had already noticed Zhou Huaiying’s secret technique, which was meant to make the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor lose control, deplete its demonic power, and once the power was used up, it would be an easy win.
No matter how much the Divine Ape Demon Emperor shouted, the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor couldn’t hear him anymore. All he could hear now in his heart was one voice – that of killing Zhou Huaiying.
"Bang"
The Snake Dragon Demon Emperor tore Zhou Huaiying apart, but it was just an illusion, created by Zhou Huaiying’s magic.
This was a very basic illusion, something the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor would never fall for on a normal day. But now, he had fallen for it several times.
"Almost there"
"Blood Demon Slash"
Zhou Huaiying and the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor circled each other for a long time, and when he saw that the demon was getting tired, he immediately unleashed a powerful attack.
In the sky, the blood energy trembled, and countless life essences gathered to form a huge blood-red sword, at least hundreds of meters long. Then, blade qi appeared, slashing down towards the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor.
"Reverse scale"
The Snake Dragon Demon Emperor looked terrified, he was powerless to resist and had to use his reverse scale.
"Boom"
The blood-colored blade energy slashed down, collided with the reverse scale, instantly shattering it, and the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor also sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, the Snake Dragon Demon Emperor directly spit out the Dragon Ball, the dragon soul attached to the Dragon Ball, quickly fled, with the reverse scale broken, he was heavily injured and unable to fight anymore, any further battle would undoubtedly be fatal.
The Dragon Ball fled swiftly, Zhou Huaiying couldn’t stop it in time, and just as the Dragon Ball was about to disappear, a white thread suddenly appeared, piercing through the Dragon Ball.
"Bang"
The Dragon Ball exploded, along with the dragon soul, Zhou Huaiying’s eyes widened, this move was too domineering, he knew who intervened.
Starlight fell, Zhou Huaiying took out a jade bottle to collect it, and the Divine Ape Demon Emperor quickly fled upon seeing this.
He couldn’t win the fight anymore. Cao Ying was a bit better than him, and with Zhou Huaiying joining in, he knew he couldn’t win. Without running away, he was going to lose.
The Divine Ape Demon Emperor tried to run, but a huge net fell down, trapping it directly.
"Break for me!"
The Divine Ape Demon Emperor roared, gripping the big net, trying to tear it apart.
He was originally known as the Split Sky Divine Ape, claimed to be able to tear through the heavens, with immense strength. Moving mountains and unloading hills was easy for him, so tearing this mere magical net was not a problem in his eyes.
However, it turned out to disappoint him. The net remained indifferent, not moving at all.
"Reel in!"
Lin Die softly spoke, and the net quickly tightened, the net’s thread directly cutting into the Divine Ape Demon Emperor’s body.
"Bang"
In a moment, the big net tightened completely, and the Divine Ape Demon Emperor shattered into thousands of pieces, like a badminton smashing into tofu.
The starlight appeared again, and Zhou Huaiying happily went to collect it.
Cao Ying, Lin Jiang, and others focused their gaze on Lin Die. It was their first time seeing Lin Die make a move, which was fierce and powerful. The Demon Emperor didn’t even have a chance against Lin Die.
"Why are you looking at me? Let’s go kill the demon beast!"
Lin Die smiled and said, slowly retracting the thread in her hand. It seemed like she wasn’t the one who did everything just now; she was just watching the show.
"Attack the enemy!"
Cao Ying didn’t waste any time and immediately went to chase down other Demon Kings. Zhou Huaiying hurried to absorb the essence blood of two fallen Demon Emperors. This was precious blood not to be wasted.
Three days later, the battle in He State ended. The demonic army of He State was almost completely wiped out. Those who managed to escape back to the Wilderness were few and far between, while the He State cultivators were overjoyed.
The lower-ranked cultivators were celebrating, but the higher-ups were still busy discussing. They had three directions to advance next: one was towards the west to attack Liu State, the second was to move northwest to Qing State, and the third was to head north and enter Bing State to cut off the demon clan’s retreat.
"Head west, attack Liu State, then turn north to attack Qing State. The cultivators from both provinces must unite to fight against the demons."
Lin Jiang helped Cao Ying make a decision, he has decided to transform Cao Ying into the new Human Emperor. So, we must benefit the world, don’t run away from Liu State and Qing State.
