Chapter 449: Did you cheat?
More than ten months have passed since the great blood disaster broke out.
This once-in-a-millennium blood disaster has gradually come to an end. This time, many blood beasts have abandoned the surrounding islands and headed straight for the Vientiane Islands. This is probably their last madness.
Many blood beasts that were originally scattered on many surrounding islands and besieged these islands left these islands and rushed towards the Vientiane Islands. Their numbers even far exceeded when the great blood disaster just began.
The number of Blood Sky Beasts alone has reached over thousands, and is still increasing.
The many warriors of the Vientiane Islands who were also quite exhausted naturally could not hold on any longer and could only issue a call to action. Except for the necessary garrison warriors, all other warriors had to rush to the Vientiane Islands to resist the siege of the many blood beasts.
At present, many of Lu Changjing's industries and resources are quite safe. After all, he has cleared out the blood beasts around the industries many times during this period, and now there are very few blood beasts around these industries.
After being summoned again, their number became even smaller, and most of them gathered towards the Vientiane Islands.
So after some consideration, Lu Changjing also rushed towards the Vientiane Islands.
After all, that is the headquarters of the Wanxiang Sect. If anything happens there, the consequences will be disastrous, and the main body is still there.
Moreover, after this incident, the number of blood beasts outside has dropped sharply, and it has become much more difficult to earn contributions and resources outside.
Lu Changjing did not dare to accept more rescue missions. Doing so would be equivalent to telling Wanxiang Sect that he had enough energy to do other things, but he would not go to the rescue headquarters. If he did that, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism.
At this moment, Lu Changjing's fame in the Wanxiang Sect is skyrocketing. He is the most famous disciple on the three major lists. His every move is watched by countless disciples, so naturally he cannot do anything too excessive.
Doing so is also to protect the Jiuyang Mountains and Jinji Ridge. When the war begins, the Jiuyang Mountains, which will serve as a war fortress, will also be deployed.
So Lu Changjing's Earth Lord clone quickly returned to the Jiuyang Mountains. At this time, the war had already begun. Countless blood beasts rushed in from all directions and pounced madly on the Vientiane Islands.
The sky formations here had already been activated, shining with the brilliance of colorful glass. Although it was much dimmer than at the beginning, it was still tough, without even a crack on it.
More than ten thousand elephant-sized warriors hid in the light shield of the formation, frantically attacking the overwhelming blood beasts. Various combat skills, secret techniques, weapons... were dazzling, forming torrents that killed many blood beasts.
At the same time, the formation groups of various elephants fluctuated from time to time, and with each fluctuation, a wave of attacks came down, killing large groups of blood beasts.
From deep within some elephants, a dazzling light would occasionally burst forth, then crash down into the herd of blood beasts, killing each one.
That was the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon. It could even destroy stars, let alone the Blood Sky Beast.
The entire Vientiane Islands had transformed into a war machine, operating in an orderly manner and killing the overwhelming blood beasts.
Although they were still in high spirits, Lu Changjing could clearly see that many warriors had looks of fatigue on their faces.
Obviously, after more than ten months of fighting, the warriors of each species could no longer hold on, and their offensive was much weaker than at the beginning.
As the strength of one group increased while the strength of the other decreased, the blood beasts would occasionally approach the light shields of the formations, and then attack them fiercely, making a piercing roar.
The Jiuyang Mountains have already flown to the front line, and layers of formation light shields spread out, converging with the formation light shields of the entire Wanxiang Islands to resist the siege of massive blood beasts.
Many of the Nine Yang Elephant's disciples were also extremely exhausted, including some of Heavenly Lord's clones, which showed how fierce the war had been over the past ten months.
They don't have the endurance of Lu Changjing, which is ten or a hundred times that of warriors of the same level, and their recovery ability is far inferior. Lu Changjing can refresh his status at midnight every day, but these warriors can't.
Looking at the blood beasts that densely surrounded the entire Vientiane Islands, Lu Changjing was also shocked. He did not expect that these blood beasts could still create such a frenzy when the battle was near the end.
Without thinking any more, he immediately returned to the Jiuyang Mountains, raised the Yi Zhong Sword, and killed the countless blood beasts.
"Om..."
Billions of flying swords flew up together, making strange buzzing sounds, like countless warships, slashing towards the blood beasts one by one.
"Chi chi chi chi chi chi..."
Under Lu Changjing's control, these flying swords seemed to have eyes, selecting suitable targets and killing them all.
The blood beasts fell like dumplings, scattered everywhere, and were snatched back from outside by the logistics warriors who were responsible for retrieving the spoils.
The blood beasts killed by Lu Changjing were basically near the formation light shield, and after falling, they were also close to the formation light shield, so they could be pulled in from the inside, so it was not difficult to obtain them.
He did this on purpose. The corpses of the blood beasts were valuable things. If they were not collected in time, they would easily be destroyed outside or eaten by other blood beasts. In that case, the loss would be huge.
The bodies of these blood beasts are good things, especially those blood soul beasts, blood essence beasts, blood energy beasts... They contain pure essence, energy and spirit in their bodies. After eating them, they can greatly enhance the essence, energy and spirit, and there are not many side effects. They are of considerable value.
Although not as good as rare treasures, they are far better than the panaceas used in daily practice. Some of the more valuable ones are not much inferior to rare treasures.
"The Sword of All Things: Breaking the Sky with the Sword!"
"The Myriad Swordsmanship: Sword Qi Mountains and Rivers!"
"The Sword of All Things: The Torrent of Swords!"
……
What Lu Changjing used was the group attack trick from the Wanxiang Sword Controlling Technique. Combined with the Yi Zhong Sword, its power was astonishing.
All around him, in the sky and on the ground, there were traces of billions of swords everywhere, which broke through the clouds with a bang, killed countless blood beasts, and revealed piece after piece of clear sky.
There was also sword energy like mountains and rivers, suppressing a large number of blood beasts and killing them alive. In the blink of an eye, three-digit blood beasts were killed.
Wherever the sword energy torrent passed, it was like a river torrent. It flowed near the Jiuyang Mountains, sweeping up large numbers of blood beasts. When they appeared again, they had turned into corpses.
In a trance, Lu Changjing entered into enlightenment again, and manipulated the Wanxiang Sword Technique to the extreme, and the power increased several times and dozens of times. Wherever the sword energy passed, blood beasts fell one after another. Facing the powerful blood beasts, they cooperated effectively, gathered together, and surrounded and killed them.
At the same time, the materials in the bodies of these blood beasts that are beneficial to Yi Zhong Sword, the minerals they devoured, the mysterious weapons and earth weapons they use, etc., are also devoured by Yi Zhong Sword and become nutrients for Yi Zhong Sword.
The Yi Zhong Sword, which had been close to its limit, actually showed signs of advancement under this crazy devouring.
At this moment, Lu Changjing was in a state of enlightenment again, which greatly promoted this advancement. A large amount of useful materials swarmed into Yi Zhong Jian, making the light shining from Yi Zhong Jian brighter and brighter, and it was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough.
Not only the Yi Zhong Sword, but also the Wan Xiang Sword Technique is also advancing rapidly, with the speed thousands of times faster than usual.
Cai Chaoan's Tianzun clone noticed the abnormality at the first moment, and hurriedly controlled the surrounding warriors to prevent them from disturbing Lu Changjing. He even deliberately ignited treasures that could wake up the mind and increase understanding, increasing Lu Changjing's understanding and time of enlightenment.
Lu Changjing's killing power increased dramatically when he was in a state of enlightenment. The surrounding blood beasts and blood beasts were almost wiped out by him, which greatly reduced the pressure faced by the Nine Yang Elephant and made many disciples frightened.
"No wonder Prince Lu has made such rapid progress on the Contribution List. His killing efficiency is so high that he can catch up with an entire faction by himself. He can also kill a large number of Blood Earth Beasts and even Blood Sky Beasts. Even if he wants to improve slowly, it is impossible."
"Some people have been saying that Prince Lu cheated before. How can the Wanxiang Contribution List be cheated? Even the dignified Xuankong Tower Master Shi Kongxuan doesn't dare to do that, let alone others."
"Haha, are you implying something about Shi Kongxuan? His people were the loudest in the past, and they were quite dissatisfied with this. They felt that our Prince Lu cheated. Otherwise, their Xuankong Building is so big, and they have been working hard for nearly a thousand years, but they can't catch up with our Prince Lu's years of hard work. It's normal for them to be dissatisfied."
"It's not just the people from Xuankong Tower, there's also Song Mingzhi's Great Song Dynasty, who are also complaining a lot. They're obviously provoked by our Crown Prince Lu, and they're about to lose their first place, so they're starting to make noise."
"No matter how noisy you are, it is useless in the face of absolute strength. Our Prince Lu is leaving. Let alone the position on the Blood Demon List, even the first place on the Contribution List, we must take it down."
"For people like Shi Kongxuan and Song Mingzhi, the most important thing about being in the top few is not the resources and treasures they are rewarded with. They have no shortage of them. What they care about is the face they gain."
……
After witnessing Lu Changjing's killing efficiency with their own eyes, many people understood why Lu Changjing was able to soar so high on the Wanxiang Contribution List. That was backed by absolute strength, not by cheating as many people said.
Besides, if we really talk about cheating, the probability of Shi Kongxuan and Song Mingzhi is higher. Lu Changjing does not have the background and support like them. Each of them has many Heavenly Lords and Supremes of the Upper Nine Elephants to rely on. They are either masters or relatives, and the power under their command is so huge that it far exceeds their own strength.
If more than 90% of the Wanxiang Contribution earned by Lu Changjing was by himself, then more than 90% of the Wanxiang Contribution earned by Shi Kongxuan and Song Mingzhi was due to their background.
If the two had not crossed the line, and at least played a certain role in it, I am afraid that most of their contributions would have been deducted.
Even so, there are often disciples who are dissatisfied with this and hope to change the way of obtaining Wanxiang Contribution, no longer based on power, but mainly based on the contribution earned by oneself to determine the ranking of the Wanxiang Contribution List.
However, the Wanxiang Sect has been slow to change. The reason is that every true prince is a future elephant master or even a sect master, and they need to learn how to manage a force in advance.
The important criterion for managing this force is the contribution earned. If this system is abolished, it will be detrimental to future operations.
Moreover, the more Wanxiang contributions these people earn, the more contributions they make to the sect. This is also the Wanxiang Sect using the forces behind them to do more things for the sect.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. There are considerations involved and it will not be easily changed.
Like Shi Kongxuan, Song Mingzhi also has an amazing background. His master is an elephant lord of the Upper Nine Elephants, whose cultivation has reached the realm of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. His father and mother are also big men at the Heavenly Venerate level, and the family behind them is also among the best in the Wanxiang Sea.
The strength of my grandparents and my grandparents should not be underestimated. They are at least middle-level Earth Lords, and their backgrounds and connections are amazing, even better than Shi Kongxuan.
Although he has only cultivated to the highest level of Xuanzun, he already has a Tianzun-level guard under his command, who is also a female celestial snake. It is said that she has a very good relationship with Song Mingzhi. The two of them spend every day together and often sleep in the same bed.
Also because of the special relationship, many of the contributions made by Tianshe were attributed to Song Mingzhi.
Among the many true princes, Song Mingzhi is the only one who has a heavenly-level boss as a servant, no, it should be said that he has wives and concubines.
Although many disciples secretly called him a gigolo or a snake-puller, he could not hide the envious looks of many people.
After all, if they encountered such a thing, they would most likely agree.
Just by sacrificing one's own body, one can get a wife or concubine of the Heavenly Venerable level. How many people would not be willing to do such a good thing?
Moreover, after the celestial snake transformed into a human, it turned out to be extremely beautiful and had special talents. It could sleep, fight, and earn resources and treasures. It was really enviable.
Lu Changjing also made a special effort to find out more and learned that the heavenly snake's cultivation had reached level fifty-three, comparable to a three-star level Heavenly Venerate. It was not considered a weakling among the Heavenly Venerates. Many Heavenly Venerates spent their entire lives wandering around in the lower levels, but this heavenly snake had already cultivated to the pinnacle of a lower-level Heavenly Venerate.
With the help of love, many of the contributions earned by Tianshe were counted on Song Mingzhi. Coupled with the terrifying power of the Song Dynasty under his command, it was possible for him to rank first on the contribution list in just about nine hundred years, overlooking many true princes.
Compared with theirs, Lu Changjing's power is not even a drop in the bucket. Of course, this is without considering Lu Changjing. If Lu Changjing is included, it will be different.
However, most of the true princes rely on the forces under their command to be listed on the Wanxiang Contribution List. But when it comes to Lu Changjing, he actually relies on the forces under his command to be listed on the Wanxiang Contribution List.
Therefore, Lu Changjing's value in the Wanxiang Contribution List far exceeds that of most of the true princes.
Especially when they saw with their own eyes how efficient Lu Changjing was in killing blood beasts and how fast he earned contributions from All Things, many true disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples... were no longer able to speak.
The Wanxiang disciples who were shouting that Lu Changjing had cheated before now felt choked.
With such combat power and group attack strength, and thinking about the few earth-honored officials in the Chang'an Xian Dynasty, they felt embarrassed to slander Lu Changjing anymore.
At this moment, on Lu Changjing's side, this epiphany also came to an end. Accompanied by strange sounds, the Yi Zhong swords were combined together in an amazing way. Each Yi Zhong sword was more than ten times brighter than the previous one.
As the combination progressed, the resulting light illuminated the entire Jiuyang Mountains, which also meant that Yi Zhongjian had successfully advanced to a new level.
Low-level celestial weapon!
After several years of accumulation, he absorbed the essence of bones, minerals, and many magical weapons from the bodies of countless blood beasts... He was finally successfully promoted, and his power soared several times.
