Chapter 654: Chapter 654 Sorrowful Destruction

Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had now reached the Ninth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm. While its cultivation was slightly higher than Lin Chen’s original body, its combat power could not compare to Lin Chen himself.

However, despite his Second Soul Division’s combat power not being as formidable as Lin Chen’s original body, he was more than capable of handling Martial Artists below the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Among the Red Soul Hall’s forces, aside from a few elders who had reached the Heavenly Human Realm, there was another person very familiar to Lin Chen, whose cultivation was also within the Heavenly Human Realm — he was Li Chu.

Li Chu had only recently broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm, and had not even had the time to consolidate his cultivation before he heard that the mission of the Red Soul Hall this time was to attack the Jade Cauldron Sect. He volunteered to join the mission.

In the ensuing battle, Li Chu and Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division clashed again, and their fight could be said to be evenly matched.

At this moment, the powerhouses amongst both sides were battling each other, while the masses of the Red Soul Hall and Jade Cauldron Sect’s armies engaged in their own fights.

In the sky, countless energy cannons bombarded the Jade Cauldron Sect’s army relentlessly, who took shelter within the huge defensive formations they had conjured, their expressions grim.

These defensive formations had been set up by Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division. Without these formations, they might have already perished under the bombardment of the enemy’s cannons.

The number of Thunder-Fire Cannons in the Red Soul Hall’s army vastly outnumbered those of the Jade Cauldron Sect, and the advantage brought by the warships was heart-stopping.

With continuous bombardment, the Jade Cauldron Sect’s defensive formations began to crack, seeming like they could shatter after withstanding a few more strikes.

Meanwhile, although the Jade Cauldron Sect did have warships, and their firepower was even more powerful than that of the Red Soul Hall’s army, with each round of cannon fire, one of the enemy’s warships would be destroyed.

These warships, which had been modified and empowered under Lin Chen’s guidance, unleashed tremendous power.

"Keep bombarding them, kill them all!"

"Why have you stopped? Continue the bombardment!"

Inside the Jade Cauldron Sect, a general wearing silver armor directed his soldiers with a furrowed brow.

Upon hearing this, the complexion of everyone in the Jade Cauldron Sect forces turned ashen.

"Report to the captain, our Spirit Stones are all used up; we’ve got no more energy to charge them!"

Upon hearing the update from a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect, Xu Ning’s expression immediately turned grave. Without Spirit Stones to charge, the warships would lose their purpose. How would they continue the battle?

Soon after, one warship after another lost its fiery glow, ceasing their cannon fire. Clearly, these warships had also run out of Spirit Stones for energy.

With all the warships rendered useless, how could they continue this battle? Xu Ning’s face was very grim.

They had attacked the Xuan Yin Sect and acquired many treasures, but no amount of treasure could sustain such an intense battle.

Keep in mind, they had been besieged by the Red Soul Hall’s forces for over two months, with no chance to replenish resources. How could they possibly continue to wear down the enemy’s forces?

Humming—

The sky roared as the Red Soul Hall’s forces resumed their counterattack.

Despite the Jade Cauldron Sect’s warships destroying countless cannons, the Red Soul Hall’s forces were able to replenish continuously.

At this moment, the Red Soul Hall launched another round of bombardment.

"Have we been defeated?"

Xu Ning looked up at the formation barrier above his head, watching the cracks widen, his heart filled with despair.

At this time, who could come to save them? At that thought, a flicker of determination crossed Xu Ning’s eyes.

Originally, he was just an ordinary Martial Artist in the Jade Cauldron Sect War Division, but thanks to the Sect’s nurturing, he had come this far and become a captain in the War Division.

He had received ample cultivation resources and even acquired Break-Body Pills that could improve his innate talents. If he continued on this path, he might one day become a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse, reaching the level of Sect Leader.

But now, it seemed all of that might never come to fruition.

Xu Ning was unwilling to accept this fate. He stepped out of the warship, ready to fight to the end against the forces of the Red Soul Hall.

Since the warships could no longer serve their purpose, they had to revert to the most primitive way of fighting.

"Everyone fall back; do not charge out of the formation!"

The voice of Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division scolded in everyone’s ears. He knew what the people wanted to do, but Lin Chen had sent a message; if they held on for ten more days, he would arrive.

As Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was sending the message, Li Chu seized the opportunity to join forces with two other Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses to attack Lin Chen.

"Boy, to engage with an elder like me and still have the mind to be concerned about others—you’re seeking death. Go to hell," roared an elder from the Red Soul Hall. Along with another elder and Li Chu, they joined forces to strike at Lin Chen.

"Really?"

"Just with you, you think you can kill me?"

Lin Chen sneered, his swordplay becoming incredibly fast, though his breath was very slow, completely unlike his sword movements, and he even incorporated a powerful mastery of death qi.
