Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

However, Zhou Ling also knew that it was a Star Sea Alien at the late stage of the fifth rank!
Their strength is even greater than that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

He previously displayed great power, slaying a fifth-tier Star Sea alien, seemingly incredibly strong, but in reality, that was not the case at all.

The main reason is that the alien from the Star Sea has been fighting repeatedly and has already suffered considerable losses.

In addition, the main reason is the powerful force resulting from the fusion of the Sunlit Immortal Sword and the Blazing Sun Flame.

Otherwise, even someone with the cultivation level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm would find it difficult to kill him.

Moreover, if that late-stage fifth-tier Starsea alien is pushed to the brink and chooses to self-destruct, then Cheng Yi and his companion will suffer heavy losses on both sides, killing a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of their own.

"We've finally reclaimed Sun City! That's wonderful!"

Feng Lan, who was usually quiet and reserved, couldn't help but speak excitedly.

Although they are quite strong and have participated in many trials, this terrifying battle at the Sword Qi Great Wall is definitely a first for them.

The terrifying alien races of the starry sea cause human cultivators to perish in battle every moment.

This kind of cruelty is far beyond anything seen in previous trials.

The others also looked excited.

Following Zhou Ling's instructions, they ambushed the fleeing alien race from the Star Sea, killing quite a few of them.

All of these will be included in their trial points.

Therefore, their rankings are not low at this point.

Compared to Zhou Ling, it is far from sufficient.

"Get out."

In the starry sky, the voices of alien races from the star sea echoed.

Now all the Blood Fiend Formations have been breached, and all the alien races of the Star Sea have been routed and are fleeing in all directions.

They had absolutely no will to fight.

Even the fifth-tier Starsea aliens quickly fled the battlefield.

They were all severely injured, and if Gu Lie hadn't used his Blood Domain to carve a bloody path through them, they would have had no chance to escape.

The original massive army of tens of thousands of alien races from the Star Sea, plus eight fifth-tier warriors, was much stronger than the garrison of the Sun City Immortal Camp.

But now, two fifth-tier members have been killed, and only a little over two thousand of the remaining clansmen have escaped.

"Boy, you will be the first human cultivator that my Star Sea Alien Race will kill!"

Before Gu Lie fled, a voice rang out above the camp.

The person he was referring to was naturally Zhou Ling.

However, Zhou Ling was naturally not afraid, as the conflict between the human race and the alien races in the Star Sea was inherently irreconcilable.

What am I afraid of?
"A defeated opponent, yet he speaks so arrogantly."

Cheng Yi also roared, shattering the sound waves.

Having learned his lesson from the previous Blood Soul attack, he didn't want it to happen again.

In the star field, the alien races of the star sea gradually disappeared from the pursuit of the human cultivators.

"Don't chase the poor bandits!"

Looking at the alien races that had already entered the star field, Cheng Yi shouted loudly.

Many human cultivators were already bloodthirsty and were about to chase after them out of the star field, but Cheng Yi stopped them.

A series of spiritual lights fell onto the camp, belonging to Nascent Soul cultivators such as Fei Qinan and Chen Zhenglei.

The eleven Nascent Soul cultivators, though their auras were all unstable, had not suffered any casualties.

In particular, the six Nascent Soul cultivators from the original Sun City have all been greatly depleted, and three of them are seriously injured.

Fortunately, there is no fear of life.

Cheng Yi glanced at the several Nascent Soul cultivators and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes as he looked at the army of cultivators.

Although the battle was a great victory, the cultivator army also suffered considerable casualties.

Thousands of cultivators also died in battle.

Among them were several Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, this is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

If Zhou Ling hadn't used the Sunlit Immortal Sword to kill the fifth-tier Star Sea alien and break the Five Phases Blood Fiend Array,

I'm afraid we can't even talk about winning this battle.

It is estimated that the entire human cultivator army will be wiped out, including these few Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, once trapped in the Five Phases Blood Fiend Formation, one's combat power will be greatly suppressed.

"Zhou Ling deserves the greatest credit for this battle!"

Cheng Yi spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators naturally had no objections.

Apart from the reinforcements that arrived later, everyone witnessed the immense power that Zhou Ling displayed when he drew upon the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

"Zhou Ling deserves the credit?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhenglei and the others couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Lord Yuan, fellow Daoists, thank you for your timely assistance!"

"Otherwise, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain!"

Cheng Yi then cupped his hands in greeting to Yuan Yu and the others.

"Lord Cheng, you're too kind. It's our fault for being late!"

Yuan Yu cupped his hands in reply.

A hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, they heeded Chen Zhenglei's advice and quickly assembled a large army.

Otherwise, if they had been too late, Sun City would have fallen completely into the hands of the alien races of the Star Sea.

Then the defense of the entire Sword Qi Great Wall became extremely passive.

To reclaim Sun City, the price to pay would be even greater.

Then, seemingly noticing the doubts of the crowd, Cheng Yi said solemnly, "In this battle, if Zhou Ling hadn't wielded the Sun Immortal Sword to slay the fifth-tier Star Sea aliens and break the Five Phases Blood Fiend Formation, the Sun Immortal City would have been completely annihilated!"

"hiss!"

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yu and the other Nascent Soul cultivators all gasped in shock.

Only then did they realize how Zhou Ling's points had increased so dramatically.

It turns out that they killed a fifth-tier Starsea alien.

Moreover, he also controlled the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

How did a Golden Core cultivator manage to do that?
It's amazing.

Subsequently, Cheng Yi quickly issued orders to arrange the aftermath.

And the redeployment of the camp, as well as the repair of the surrounding city's defensive formations, etc.

The entire Sun City was originally built on this star stone.

Most of it had already been taken over by the alien races of the Star Sea.

This time it has fallen back into the hands of the human race.

We also need to rebuild the formation as soon as possible.

"Zhou Ling, you all come with me to the council tent to discuss matters!"

Cheng Yi led everyone into the camp and spoke to Zhou Ling and the others.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ling and the other four also entered the camp.

"Zhou Ling, well done! I never expected that you could achieve such an unparalleled feat with just one Sun City!"

Upon seeing Zhou Ling enter, Chen Zhenglei gave him a thumbs-up and praised him with great delight.

The last time I killed the fifth-tier Fire Dragon Sparrow Demon King in Five Spirits Immortal City, it was also due to a bit of luck.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at Sun City, they directly annihilated a fifth-tier Star Sea alien race.

Moreover, according to Cheng Yi, they also broke the Five Phases Blood Fiend Formation and saved the entire Sun City, which is an astonishing achievement.

As Chen Zhenglei finished speaking, the Nascent Soul cultivators present, unusually, all showed expressions of praise. They looked at Zhou Ling with amazement and cupped their hands to congratulate him, saying, "Congratulations, young friend Zhou!"

Apart from Liu Zhengjia, whose face was gloomy.

Originally, the intention was to take advantage of the situation to sabotage Zhou Ling, or even eliminate him outright.

Unexpectedly, this young man had such a great opportunity, obtaining the Sunlit Immortal Sword as its master and even killing a fifth-tier Star Sea alien.

The story breaks the five-phase blood evil formation, a top-grade fifth-tier formation.

This is something no Golden Core cultivator could possibly do!

But now that the facts were right in front of him, he could only turn a blind eye and pretend not to see them. Seeing everyone congratulating him like this, Zhou Ling could only humbly say that he was able to kill that alien from the Star Sea thanks entirely to Fei Qinan's help.

"Brother Zhou, this is your military merit. There's no need to be modest. If it weren't for you, I might have perished!"

Fichtenham was a straightforward and outspoken man.

"Besides Senior Fei's help, we also need the most crucial Sunlit Immortal Sword!"

Zhou Ling held the Sunlit Immortal Sword in both hands and spoke to Cheng Yi and the others.

The ability to kill the fifth-tier Star Sea aliens and break through the Five Phases Blood Fiend Formation in this battle was mainly due to the Sun Immortal Sword.

The reason he was able to control the Sunlit Immortal Sword was mainly due to the Blazing Sun Flame.

And the Five Elements Bright Sun Sword Heart that he comprehended.

However, this Sunlit Immortal Sword is, after all, the Sunlit Immortal Town Immortal Sword.

Protecting the Sunlit Immortal City and the Great Wall of Sword Qi, it's impossible for him to take them away.

He wouldn't stay in Sun City for long, so he still had to return the Sun Sword.

The Sunlit Immortal Sword hovered docilely beside Zhou Ling.

The Nascent Soul cultivators on the field couldn't help but show expressions of envy.

For Nascent Soul cultivators like them, if they could control this Sunlit Immortal Sword, their combat power would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"Lord of the City, I will return the Sunlit Immortal Sword to the Immortal City immediately!"

Zhou Ling then handed the Sunlit Immortal Sword to Cheng Yi.

Looking at the Sunlit Immortal Sword, Cheng Yi turned to Fei Qinan and asked, "Elder Fei, what do you think of this matter?"

The Sunlit Immortal Sword is the immortal sword that protects the Sunlit Immortal City, and only the swordsmen of the Sunlit Immortal City can wield it.

Recently, the swordsman of Sun City fell, and the Sun City Sword was sealed by the Blood Fiend Array, resulting in a significant drop in its combat power.

It has now been restored thanks to Zhou Ling's restoration efforts.

A new swordsman is definitely needed.

However, there is no suitable person in Sun City today.

If it's not a swordsman with a high degree of compatibility who controls the Sun Immortal Sword, then the power it can unleash will be extremely limited.

Currently, only Ferdinand can control the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

At the same time, he thought that if Zhou Ling hadn't quickly repaired the Sun Immortal Sword, the entire camp would have fallen into the hands of the Star Sea Alien Race.

This will have a very serious impact on the Sword Qi Great Wall in the future.

"Although we defeated the alien army of the Star Sea this time, Zhou Ling has revealed such astonishing combat power. I fear that the Star Sea aliens will spare no effort to deal with him next."

"He will be staying at the Sword Qi Great Wall for a while, so I think it's best for him to keep the Sun Immortal Sword for now!"

After a moment's thought, Ficchinen spoke up.

In the previous battle, Gu Lie had already given the order to kill Zhou Ling at all costs.

He even personally launched a blood soul attack on Zhou Ling, which was fortunately blocked by him.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi nodded solemnly and said to Zhou Ling, "Young friend Zhou, you will temporarily keep the Sun-Shining Immortal Sword safe!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

Since Cheng Yi said so, Zhou Ling naturally had no objections.

With the Sunlit Immortal Sword in hand, he would not be afraid even if he encountered a fifth-tier Star Sea alien race.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, could Zhou Ling finish his trial first and return to the Dao Alliance?"

Fei Qinan then cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Zhenglei and asked.

In his view, there are still considerable risks for Zhou Ling to stay in Sun City.

With his potential, it would be safer for him to return to the Dao Alliance and grow slowly.

If the alliance were to be attacked by alien races from the Star Sea and something unexpected happened, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Dao Alliance.

"No, this trial lasts for a year, unless I give up!"

Chen Zhenglei shook his head and said.

"Brother Zhou, what do you say?"

Fei Qinan then asked Zhou Ling.

"Senior Fei, there's no need to worry."

Zhou Ling smiled and said with great confidence.

Upon hearing this, Ferdinand nodded and said no more.

Afterwards, the other Nascent Soul cultivators discussed how to deal with the alien races in the Star Sea and how to repair the Sun City Immortal Array.

Zhou Ling and the others left first.

As for this achievement, Sun City will reward Zhou Ling separately.

Zhou Ling didn't take this too seriously.

After all, in his view, he was also a member of the human race, and protecting Sun City was his duty.

Furthermore, while repairing the Sunlit Immortal Sword, he comprehended the Five Realms of Sword Dao, which was already his greatest gain.

Moreover, there are also military merits from the Dao Alliance trials.

At this point, the military merits recorded on his jade tablet had reached an astonishing 50,000.

Zhou Ling himself had not expected such high military achievements.

Generally speaking, killing a Tier 5 early-stage Starsea alien race member earns approximately 20,000 battle merits.

His other achievements mainly involved killing many alien races from the Star Sea when breaking the Five Phases Blood Fiend Formation.

"Brother Zhou, your military merits have reached over 50,000. It's safe to say that you're definitely going to be number one in this trial!"

Stepping out of the tent, Qi Jianzhi said to Zhou Ling with an envious look.

This battle was enough to solidify Zhou Ling's position as the number one on the Dao Alliance's list of prodigies.

It's practically a certainty that he'll become a high-ranking member of the Dao Alliance in the future.

In addition to his numerous military achievements, it's safe to say that even if he stayed in Sun City forever, he would still be number one after the trial.

And that's exactly what he's been hoping for.

But the differences between people are enormous.

Fortunately, he killed quite a few alien races from the Star Sea this time, including two fourth-tier beings, and he also gained 3,600 points.

That's quite a bargain.

After all, these alien races from the Star Sea were all fleeing with serious injuries when he killed them.

With these three thousand points, he could consider himself to have completed the trial successfully.

And unexpectedly, he squeezed into the top three of the standings.

In second place is Feng Lan, with 4,300 points.

Meanwhile, Feng Lan and the other three watched as Zhou Lingyuan surpassed them in points.

They all looked helpless, but they were all sincerely convinced.

After all, they were all present at the time and knew how dangerous the battle was under those circumstances.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators are constantly at risk of losing their lives.

Therefore, they knew that Zhou Ling's more than 50,000 points were earned through his own strength.

"You've had some luck. Go back and recover properly. We'll continue with what we've been doing."

Zhou Ling smiled and said to Qi Jianzhi and the others.

The trials will continue.

Although they defeated the alien races of the Star Sea, they could come back at any time.

"it is good!"

Qi Jianzhi nodded. He had nothing to worry about following Zhou Ling.

"Zhou Ling, how about we act together from now on?"

Pei Qingshuang asked Zhou Ling.

After this battle, the area around Sun City will definitely be fraught with danger. Combining the two teams into one is a good option.

"I'm not on Tao Yue's team!"

Zhou Ling shook his head.

Don't say that this person has a grudge against you.

Just now, in that battle, this person was a coward who feared death and was completely unreliable. We absolutely cannot cooperate with him.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingshuang was taken aback.

Zhou Ling's meaning was very clear: cooperation was possible, but Tao Yue had to be excluded.

She couldn't help but look at Feng Lan. (End of Chapter)
