“How did it go? Was your cultivation breakthrough successful during your seclusion in the Northern Ice Plains?”
Lin Yuan stepped closer to David, his voice barely able to hide his excitement.
His gaze immediately fell on David’s aura, observing him carefully from top to bottom, repeatedly probing his spiritual energy foundation and cultivation level. His eyes were almost overflowing with anticipation, and his tone was filled with an almost irresistible urgency.
David’s expression was calm and collected. After experiencing the coldness of the northern icy plains and the trials of life and death, his temperament had become increasingly introspective and profound, without the slightest rashness.
He nodded slightly, raised his palm, and a ray of pure and ethereal chaotic purple power flowed out quietly. The faint light flickered and disappeared, neither striking nor leaking, calm and restrained, yet carrying a primal pressure that crushed ordinary spiritual power.
“I have lived up to everyone’s expectations and successfully passed the test. My cultivation has stabilized at the third rank of True God.”
David’s voice was calm and firm, his gaze swept across the white-robed figure beside him as he added, “Xue Lan accompanied me throughout my enlightenment process.”
Thanks to luck, he completely inherited the essence of the ancient Ice God, perfecting his ice-based laws and ice-sealing abilities. His combat power had more than doubled, making him able to stand alone and fight against top level opponents of the immortal realms.
These two short sentences acted like calming needles, sinking deeply into the hearts of everyone present.
Hearing that, Lin Yuan suddenly exhaled a long breath full of stale air that had accumulated in his chest for many days. His breathing was heavy, and the stress, fear, and torment that had been building up for months disappeared with the stale air.
Subconsciously, he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white from the pressure, and his bones creaked softly as he released all the emotions he had suppressed for a long time.
He had been waiting for this breakthrough, waiting for this main force to form, waiting for this battle of revenge and rescue for too long.
After days without sleep and through several small-scale Protoss attack crises, the best opportunity to fight finally arrived.
“Good! That’s amazing!”
Lin Yuan let out two loud shouts, his tone firm and full of power, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and an aura of killing intent instantly filled his body.
“The two Supreme Elders of the Divine Race will soon exit seclusion. Once they successfully complete their seclusion, their cultivation will definitely reach a new level.”
At that time, we will have no power to fight back, and the opportunity to save our people and fight the gods will be completely lost. We can no longer waste time or wait!
He turned around suddenly, his posture straightened, his gaze suddenly fixed on the thousands of elite cultivators who were lined up and ready to go deep into the valley.
His breathing suddenly increased, his voice echoing throughout the Free Valley. His every word was powerful and piercing, reaching the ears of every cultivator.
“The Northern Underworld Prison has imprisoned countless compatriots of all races and slaughtered countless fellow practitioners. Today, the time has come, and we will immediately set out to invade the Northern Underworld Prison!”
David’s expression was firm, without the slightest hesitation. His fighting spirit soared, and he immediately issued an order in a deep voice, his order as strong as a mountain: “The entire army should immediately gather and form a line, rest for a moment, and set our sights on the Northern Underworld Prison. Launch a massive attack, and we will not return to the valley until the prison gate is breached!”
Those mighty orders reverberated throughout the valley, reaching every corner of the Valley of Freedom and ringing clearly in the ears of every waiting cultivator.
The Free Valley experts, who had been diligently training and recharging within the Demon Suppressing Tower for days, along with the elite Spirit Clan troops who had come to help from the neighboring territories, immediately acted upon hearing the news, their steps perfectly synchronized.
They immediately rushed to the open area at the valley entrance and gathered in formation, the sound of their armor clinking resounding in unison, creating an aura of solemnity.
Elder Qingxuan walked gracefully wearing a green Daoist robe, surrounded by spiritual light and exuding a powerful and profound aura.
He personally led three hundred Spirit Clan elite warriors, their steps steady and orderly, as they exited the secret realm of the Demon Suppressing Tower.
After more than two hundred days of intensive closed-door training, tempering their spiritual power, honing their physical bodies, and perfecting their battle formations, these spirit race warriors underwent a complete transformation.
Everyone is surrounded by rich and long-lasting turquoise spiritual light, full of vitality, with subtle and abundant spiritual energy flowing around them, like the extraordinary vitality cultivated in the fertile soil in spring, full of resilience, and with an endurance capacity that far exceeds the past.
Although Elder Qingxuan’s own cultivation level had not broken through the limit and achieved a breakthrough, the spiritual power in his body had more than doubled.
His meridians widened and strengthened, his spiritual energy flowed smoothly, and he exuded the calm and dignified aura of a seasoned expert with every movement.
It is able to inspire respect without arousing anger, can control the enemy, and is the army’s most reliable logistical and battlefield asset.
On the other side, Lin Yuan skillfully led five hundred elite human resistance fighters, who quickly gathered from various garrison points in the valley. The formation of a thousand people was neatly arranged, orderly, and moved with measured steps.
All the swords and blades were unsheathed, their sharp edges reflecting the light of dawn and emitting a terrifying killing intent.
The thick and sturdy black iron armor was worn tightly to the body, the plates clashed and clanged, producing continuous and sharp sounds, and a cold aura enveloped the entire valley entrance.
