This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable Chapter 1657 - 22: The King Has Lost His Home! (Part 2)

The mana of the second wave of cultivators was depleted, followed closely by the third wave.

When the mana of the third wave of cultivators was also depleted, the first wave had almost recovered, nearly perpetual motion.

The remaining cultivators were responsible for facing the enemy head-on.

A formation consists of two parts: the formation itself and the energy supply system composed of spirit stones and cultivators.

The rotation of cultivators takes ti, and when the Great Formation operates at full force for extended periods, the foundation of the formation itself is inevitably damaged and needs repairing.

It's like a machine running at high load for a long ti, which will lead to overload and overheating, shortening its lifespan.

No matter whether it is the rotation of formation point cultivators or the repair of the Do Formation, both will cause a period of weakness or even a vacuum period, requiring cultivators to stand firm and share so pressure from the Great Formation.

For the Demon Race, this is the key to breaking through the formation.

During this weak period, the Demon Race engages in the most brutal war of attrition with the human cultivators facing them, using the lives of demonic cultivators as expendables to exchange for the lives of Guangling Pass cultivators.

Once the casualties of Guangling Pass cultivators reach a certain level and can no longer organize a decent defense, Guangling Pass will inevitably collapse.

For by then, the Do Formation will have to operate at an overload to fill the gap.

Then the speed at which the cultivators recover mana will not keep up with the consumption speed, the formation cannot be repaired, and breaking the formation will only be a matter of ti.

This war between Dao and Demons, when boiled down, is thus simple and brutal, consisting of two stages in total.

In the first stage, the Demon Race's cultivators attack with full force, Guangling Pass's cultivators rely on the Do Formation to face the enemy, slashing demonic cultivators.

In the second stage, the Do Formation enters a weak period, a part of Guangling Pass's cultivators goes out to face the Demon Race army head-on, while another part of the cultivators hastens to repair the formation and rotate.

The two stages continually cycle until one side can no longer hold on.

In the first stage, the Human Race suffers no loss, but the Demon Race must engage because only this way can the second stage be reached.

Undoubtedly, due to the existence of the first stage, the loss of the Human Race is far less than that of the Demon Race, which is the advantage of the Human Race.

But the Demon Race is vast and wealthy, able to disregard losses, which is their advantage.

....

In a newly built stationed city thousands of miles away from Guangling Pass, the four Asura Kings of the Black Armor Domain gathered together, besides which three of the now only seven remaining Eight Division Generals were present.

Asura King Luo Qiantuo drank a sip of the Black Blood wine unique to the Black Armor Domain and sighed: "The Human Race's formation truly leaves no opening, other than grinding slowly, relying on lives to fill, there is simply no hope of breaking the formation."

"Only, if we were to wage war together with other Holy Demon Clans, we wouldn't need to worry about instability at the rear, nor fear reinforcents at Guangling Pass, we could be entirely carefree, unlike the imnse pressure we face now."

"It's only been three months, and we've already lost over 700,000 people, while the casualties on the Guangling Pass side tally only around 100,000...."

"Though our losses are sowhat greater, the Guangling people have been pushed back into the city by our army, not daring to venture out, taking them down is only a matter of ti, Luo Qiantuo no need to worry," remarked Po Zhi, leader of the war faction, nonchalantly unconcerned.

"That's not how it should be said, Guangling Pass's cultivators seem trapped within the city with no room to advance or retreat, but in fact, we cannot afford to waste ti, this expedition's outco is truly unpredictable, it might even end as a farce with a fierce start and a weak finish!" Another Asura King, Vimozhiduoluo, clearly sided more with Luo Qiantuo, casting a discreet glance at the main seat's expressionless leader of the expedition, King Luohu.

"And Lin Xiu slashed my general Qiang Qi, can this revenge just be accounted like this? Don't bolster others' spirit!" Po Zhi protested discontentedly.

While they argued heatedly, King Luohu rely sipped wine quietly, giving no hint of his inner thoughts.

"Luohu, what do you think?" Luo Qiantuo, choosing not to probe further, asked directly.

"In what part of the world does everything go perfectly? The initial grinding is an unavoidable process," as Luo Qiantuo spoke directly, King Luohu simply said, "It's actually a process of slow then fast transition; in the beginning, one must keep a cool head, cannot be impatient."

"Everything is under my control," he said calmly.

Luohu was too composed, too at ease, too fearless, and as the leader, his deanor undoubtedly instilled great confidence in others.

Having said this, Vimozhiduoluo and Luo Qiantuo found it difficult to argue further.

Whether in the Black Armor Domain or among the Asura Clan, King Luohu was undeniably the number one authority, absolute and unquestioned, unless necessary, Luo Qiantuo and Vimozhiduoluo were reluctant to clash with King Luohu.

At this mont, everyone's gaze turned towards the entrance.

A demonic cultivator appeared there, walking quickly.

King Luohu's eyes flickered slightly.

For he recognized the newcor was a trusted aide of Luojia, who at the mont should be in the Black Armor Domain, why would he appear here?

Could it be that sothing major happened in the Black Armor Domain?

Has the Holy Demon Clan beco restless, causing trouble for the Black Armor Domain?

It shouldn't be, so little ti has passed, it's too soon for that.

"Co in," King Luohu maintained a serene face while nurous speculations crossed his mind.

With permission granted, the demonic cultivator hastily entered.

"What happened?" Luo Qiantuo, recognizing the person's identity, asked imdiately without waiting for formalities.

The demonic cultivator hesitated for a mont, instinctively looking up at Luohu.

Luohu gave a slight nod.

Only then did the ssenger dare to speak, "King Luohu, sothing major has happened... Buddha King City has been destroyed!"

With the Royal City gone, such a significant event cannot be concealed, nor dared to conceal, even if Luojia was King Luohu's son, the sa holds true.

Thus, despite reluctance, Luojia promptly dispatched soone to the frontline to report this news.

"Destroyed?!" Luo Qiantuo's pupils dilated, even seeing the ssenger at the first mont, he knew sothing major must have happened at the rear, yet he couldn't conceive it to be such significant.

Buddha King City, the heart of the Black Armor Domain, with the Royal City breached, does this an the entire Black Armor Domain has fallen??

"How is it possible, who did it? Did Burning Moon Domain make a move? Also, it couldn't be, in this short ti, unless several domains allied?"

"No..." the ssenger demonic cultivator startled, didn't expect Luo Qiantuo to envisage the matter so seriously, hurriedly explained fearfully: "Burning Moon Domain did not take action, other demon domains also didn't, it was... just one human cultivator."

Vimozhiduoluo suspiciously said: "A human cultivator?!"

Po Zhi: "One?!"

Even Luohu's pupils shrank slightly, staring sharply at the ssenger demonic cultivator.

Being stared at by the four Asura Kings, the ssenger demonic cultivator couldn't help but shiver, tremblingly narrated the recent happenings in the Buddha Kingdom.

"One human cultivator, disrupted Buddha Kingdom's peace, turning our long-established Royal City into ruins, and this human cultivator hasn't been slain, still roams freely causing chaos?" Po Zhi, most candid, loudly questioned.

Vimozhiduoluo and Luo Qiantuo didn't voice their thoughts, but their expressions, though not very visible due to their naturally dark green facial skin, were exceedingly dark.

"Yes..." the ssenger demonic cultivator difficultly nodded, "This person is so adept at concealing their tracks, we've been unable to pinpoint them, forced to a dead end, they escape using unusual maneuvers..."

Breaking the situation with Heavenly Tribulation, such a wild and insane move, unheard of before, not even dared to conceive.

Vimozhiduoluo and Luo Qiantuo together looked at Luohu, whose expression disguised by his fierce features, clearly twitched subtly, their gaze intrigued.

King Luohu, is this also within your control?

....

After a bout of bizarre silence, Luohu finally spoke.

"Luojia failed in guarding, I will punish him later, but now the priority is to resolve this human cultivator, let him continue his rampage, morale will decline."

"Ghost Tiger Demon Venerable....." The division general ntioned below tensed, preparing to respond, only for Luohu to dismiss his own idea, shaking his head, then looking to Luo Qiantuo: "Luo Qiantuo, you have tracking skills, you should return and resolve this quickly."

At the mont, Luohu's eyes seed set for destruction.
