This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

"You righteous brats, relying on your broken tower to show off your power, today I, the commander, will flatten this place and refine your souls!"

With a roar, the nameless demonic leader, who was at the early stage of Mahayana, raised his hand and unleashed a massive black palm towards the Myriad Immortals Formation in the core area. Wherever the palm's force passed, the air distorted and the ground cracked.

With a single palm strike, nearly half of the fourth-tier tower and the fourth-tier formation were destroyed!
"The early stages of Mahayana Buddhism are indeed quite powerful!"

Jiang Liu's eyes were solemn, but he was also becoming more and more excited. He was not stingy with spirit stones at all, and with a flick of his finger, a large number of fourth-order towers and formations were built!

"Fill all paths with Immortal Slaying Arrow Towers! Stack the Myriad Immortals Formation to 10!"
"Activate the Demon-Burning Formation and the Demon-Slaying Formation!"

"Activate the arrow towers to maximum power!"

"Shoot that early-stage Mahayana cultivator to death!"

next second.

Ninety fourth-tier Immortal-Slaying Arrow Towers simultaneously lit up with dazzling golden light, their bodies trembled, and the arrow beams condensing in their grooves were three times thicker than before.

The light curtains of the ten Myriad Immortals Formation stacked on top of each other were as solid as a material, and golden pillars of light shot straight into the sky.

The Demon-Burning Array and the Demon-Slaying Array intertwined, with true fire and golden light swirling together, forming a defensive network with no blind spots.

"Die to me!"

Jiang Liu roared ferociously.

The golden light from the ten Myriad Immortals Formation converged into a towering pillar of light, forcefully withstanding the ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic palm. The moment the pillar of light collided with the demonic palm, the heavens and earth roared, and shockwaves swept in all directions, causing the demonic soldiers outside the city to stagger and fall.

Ninety Immortal-Slaying Arrow Towers simultaneously locked onto the head of the Mahayana Commander.

If hundreds of millions of spirit stones were attacked at once, they could kill you just by smashing you!

boom!
The moment the massive demonic hand collided with the towering pillar of light, a deafening roar resounded.

The black demonic energy and golden spiritual light clashed violently, and the shockwave swept in all directions like a tsunami. The demonic soldiers outside the city were blown hundreds of feet away and crashed to the ground, turning into pools of black blood.

The righteous cultivators on the city wall were also shaken, their blood and qi surging. If it weren't for the protection of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation's light barrier, they would have suffered heavy casualties long ago.

The power of this palm strike from a demon general in the early stages of Mahayana cultivation was terrifying!
The light screens of the ten Myriad Immortals Formation stacked on top of each other were dented by the impact, and the golden spiritual light flickered violently, as if they would collapse at any moment.

The surrounding fourth-tier Immortal Slaying Arrow Towers suffered even more. The twenty arrow towers closest to the core area were directly shattered by the aftershocks of the demonic hand, their bodies collapsing into countless fragments, and the golden light instantly dissipated.

"Hahaha! You righteous brat, your broken tower is nothing special!"

Seeing this, the demon general laughed wildly, his face contorted with malice, and said, "You build a tower, I will demolish it! You set up an array, I will destroy it!"

"I'd like to see how many towers you can build and how many formations you can set up!"

As he spoke, the demonic shadow around him surged again, and the black demonic flames condensed into dozens of demonic blades a thousand meters long, which attacked the fourth-order arrow towers and fourth-order formations of the Demon Suppression City like dark clouds covering the sky!
This time, he targeted the arrow towers on the left and right flanks, aiming to completely sever the defensive line's strongpoints.

"Did I build it faster, or did you tear it down faster?!"

Jiang Liu was not flustered at all; instead, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He had long anticipated that the Mahayana Demon General would be difficult to deal with, but it didn't matter. He frantically tapped the defense control panel with his fingers, so fast that afterimages appeared.

[System Notification: Rebuild 20 Tier 4 Immortal Slaying Arrow Towers]

[System notification: Deploy 3 Tier 4 Myriad Immortals Formations on the left wing, and 3 Tier 4 Myriad Immortals Formations on the right wing]

A series of system notifications exploded in Jiang Liu's mind, and the spirit stones in his storage ring decreased like flowing water, but he did not feel any pain on his face. Instead, he became more and more excited.

Just as the demonic blade was about to strike the arrow towers, golden light burst forth outside the Demon Suppression City!
The twenty destroyed Zhuxian Arrow Towers were reborn on the spot.

The light screens of the Myriad Immortals Array on the left and right wings instantly unfolded, connecting with the array in the core area to form a golden shield covering the entire city.

"what?!"

The Great Vehicle Demon General's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, his ferocious expression freezing instantly, replaced by unbelievable shock.

He watched helplessly as his condensed demonic blade struck the shield of the Myriad Immortals Formation, only sending up a few sparks and leaving not even a crack.

And those arrow towers that he had just destroyed miraculously regenerated in the blink of an eye.

This is unreasonable!

Doesn't it take time for you to build arrow towers and formations?
Jiang Liu said, "It really doesn't take any time, does it?"
"This is impossible! How could you be so fast!"

The demon general roared, his voice tinged with panic.

"Impossible? Pay-to-win players are that fast!"

Jiang Liu sneered and tapped the panel hard with his finger.

"All arrow towers, focus fire! Activate all formations for amplification!"

The next second, a terrifying scene unfolded!

The fourth-tier arrow towers simultaneously fired giant golden arrows, their arrowheads as thick as mountains, carrying a special effect that ignored defense, and shot towards the Mahayana Demon General.

The golden light from the ten Myriad Immortals Formation converged into countless sword energies, which, together with the true fire of the Burning Demon Formation, formed an attack network with no blind spots.

"Stop him, Commander!"

The Mahayana Demon General hurriedly gathered his demonic energy, transforming it into a thick black shield, and at the same time waved his hand to order three late-stage Tribulation Transcending Demon Generals to step forward and block him.

Hundreds of giant golden arrows pierced the chests of three Transcending Tribulation Demon Generals in an instant, blasting their demonic bodies into dust, and then crashed into the shield of the Mahayana Demon General with undiminished momentum.

Click!

Like the sound of shattering glass, the demonic energy shield that the Mahayana Demon General was so proud of was instantly covered with cracks, and the black demonic energy collapsed like a tide.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood, staggering backward, his eyes filled with horror: "What kind of arrow tower is this? It has such power!"

"It's specially designed to deal with Mahayana trash like you who build towers!"

Jiang Liu's voice traveled throughout the city through the array.

Before the Mahayana Demon General could react, the second wave of attacks had already arrived.

Each arrow from the hundreds of fourth-tier towers carried earth-shattering power, and the rain of arrows was so dense that it was suffocating.

Swarms of combined demonic soldiers fell like wheat being harvested under such firepower, burning to ashes before they could even scream.

The Mahayana Demon General was locked onto by numerous arrow towers and could only dodge in a sorry state. His demonic armor was grazed by the arrows, instantly exploding with bloody holes, and black blood gushed out.

"Damn it! You're cheating! You're not relying on skill, you're relying on external tools!"

The demon general trembled with rage, his heart filled with extreme resentment. He was a cultivator in the early stages of the Mahayana path, and could be considered a powerful figure in the overseas regions. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Despite having a cultivation level far exceeding that of the opponent, he didn't even have a chance to get close to them and could only passively take hits, while all the opponent had to do was keep throwing spirit stones to build arrow towers!
"Cheating?"

Jiang Liu scoffed: "Why rely on strength when money can solve the problem?"

Besides, do you really think I can't beat you?

It's the system that's preventing me from taking action. Otherwise, I would have killed you long ago. Why would I need to spend money to build so many arrow towers to whittle down your health?
He scoffed inwardly, while continuing to spend money to rebuild the fortifications.

"Consume 1 million spirit stones to build 10 fourth-tier Immortal Slaying Arrow Towers to fill the firepower gap!"

"Consuming 8000 million spirit stones, the Myriad Immortals Formation has been stacked up to 15, with the amplification maximized!"

Jiang Liu's fingers never stopped moving. The spirit stones in his storage ring were almost gone, but the defenses of Zhenmo City were getting stronger and stronger, and the firepower was becoming more and more terrifying.

As the Mahayana Demon General watched the increasing number of arrow towers and felt the growing golden pressure, his despair deepened.

"It's so frustrating! It's so frustrating!"

The Mahayana Demon General roared to the sky, his voice filled with resentment and despair.

He had fought countless battles in his life, with both wins and losses, but he had never felt so frustrated as he did today.

He was not defeated by the opponent's strength, nor by their tactics, but by their endless supply of spirit stones, by this unreasonable crushing power of spirit stones!
"You righteous brat, do you dare to fight me head-on? Hiding in your tortoise shell with your arrow towers, what kind of hero are you!"

The demon general roared, trying to unleash Jiang Liu's attack.

A head-on battle? I'd like to, but could you ask the developers to let me out?

Jiang Liu remained silent, too lazy to reply.

"Tier 4 arrow towers, fire at full power! Shatter his demonic body!"

Hundreds of demon-slaying arrow towers simultaneously erupted with dazzling golden light, the golden arrow beams at their tips condensing to their fullest extent. Giant arrows converged in the air to form a golden pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, carrying an aura of annihilation, and shot toward the Mahayana Demon General.

"No! I'm not reconciled!"

The Great Ascension Demon General let out a desperate roar, burning all the primordial demonic energy in his body, wanting to make a final stand.

His demonic shadow swelled to a height of ten thousand feet, and he pushed out a pitch-black demonic palm with both hands, trying to block the golden pillar of light.

Unfortunately, while he could destroy one or ten towers, he couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of hundreds of fourth-tier arrow towers.

Boom boom boom boom!
The golden beam of light pierced through the demon's palm in an instant, slamming into his demonic body like a hot knife through butter. Terrifying demon-slaying spiritual energy erupted within him, causing his demonic body to crumble inch by inch, black blood splattering, and emitting a shrill scream.

"I don't agree!"

This was the last thought of the Mahayana Demon General, and then nothing more.

You have killed the Mahayana stage demon general xxx.

With the fall of the Mahayana Demon General, the siege was doomed to failure. The remaining demonic soldiers outside the city completely lost their will to fight and turned to flee.

But how could Jiang Liu possibly give them a chance to escape?
"Switch all arrow towers to global mode, leave no survivors!"

Jiang Liu pointed his finger, and all the arrow towers turned at the same time. A golden rain of arrows swept out like a tsunami, covering all the fleeing demon soldiers.

The righteous cultivators of Zhenmo City were also in high spirits and rushed out of the city to hunt down the remaining demon soldiers. For a time, the shouts of battle outside the city were deafening, and the demonic energy was gradually dispelled by the golden light.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

thirty minutes.

The entire demonic army outside Demon Suppression City was annihilated!

The town of Zhenmo has been successfully defended!
At the same time, a series of system notifications exploded in Jiang Liu's mind like heavenly music.

[System Notification: Congratulations to player Jiang Liu for successfully defending Demon City! All ten waves of demonic attacks have been thwarted. The Central Plains Domination War (Demon City Zone) mission completion rate is 100%]

[System Notification: A total of 3.2 Nascent Soul Demon Soldiers, 45 Fusion Demon Generals, 16 Tribulation Transcending Demon Generals, and 1 Early-Stage Mahayana Commander have been defeated. Reward: 80000 Guardian Merit Points]

[System Notification: After deducting 1000 points for the initial penalty, your final merit points are 79000. Merit points can be exchanged for cultivation resources, magic weapons, cultivation techniques, and permissions in the Immortal Alliance Treasury.]

[System Notification: Core Mission Rewards Issued]

[Weapon Evolution: Righteous Qi Sword (Low-grade Immortal Weapon) → Righteous Demon-Suppressing Sword (Mid-grade Immortal Weapon) Unlocks the special effect "Demon Suppression and Evil Extermination" (Deals an additional 500% damage to demonic units)]

[Bonus Reward: 100 million Spirit Stones]

Jiang Liu stared at the rewards on the system panel, stunned. It took him a full three seconds to react, his face full of question marks.

Especially the realm reward section.

He has now reached the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm, so the realm reward is stored away and will only be distributed after he breaks through, which is understandable.

But why is it only 0.5?

You want to share half of your realm of cultivation too, right?
When will I get the remaining 1.5 minor realms?
In this Central Plains Hegemony Battle, he was supposed to receive a reward of 2 minor realms. He originally thought it would be given to the top three in the final settlement of merit points, but he didn't expect that he would only receive 0.5 minor realms now.

Well, it's a bit outrageous. Has the system already determined that he will be in the top three in terms of merit points?
In addition to the realm reward, his Righteous Qi Sword was also upgraded by a small rank, from a low-grade immortal weapon to a mid-grade immortal weapon, which can be considered an unexpected surprise.

Finally, there was even a spirit stone reward!

A reward of 100 million spirit stones!
OMG!

Was this a deliberate attempt by the developers to heal him after he had consumed too many spirit stones?

The reward of 100 million spirit stones really helped recover a lot of my losses!

outside the city.

The righteous cultivators have finished clearing out all the remnants of the demonic forces and are beginning to clean up the battlefield.

Sunlight once again bathed the Demon-Suppressing City, its golden rays dispelling the last trace of demonic energy. The Demon-Suppressing Pillars atop the city walls shone with dazzling golden light once more, and the entire main city was filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.

Seeing Jiang Liu's excited expression, the NPC Ling Xuan Zhenren, who had just reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, smiled and said, "Commander Jiang, you have made a great contribution this time. The leader of the Immortal Alliance will surely summon you personally. Moreover, the other eight main cities are in imminent danger, and the situation in Zhongzhou is critical. I'm afraid we will need your help even more in the future."

Jiang Liu: “.”

What does it mean that the other eight main cities are in imminent danger?
Could it be that I'm the only one defending the city in the entire Central Plains? (End of Chapter)
