Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 947: Chapter 387: Cannon Fire Scorches the Earth, Ten Thousand Sword Killing Formation, Mountain Collapse Reappears, Canyon Collapses

A twenty-year internal war plagued the Yu Ding Sect.

Battles erupted incessantly, numerous struggles unfolded, and after many twists and turns, everything converged at the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, the current battlefield.

Luo Chen knew a lot about this internal war.

He had even specifically dispatched the intelligence department of the Luo Tian Creed to gather all sorts of information.

Whether it was true information or hearsay, he never stopped seeking to understand it.

He even reviewed the overall situation multiple times, sorting through the sequences of events, attempting to deduce when the war might end.

One could say that aside from the various Golden Core higher-ups of the Sects and those two elusive Nascent Soul True Masters, Luo Chen’s understanding far surpassed most Sect Disciples, as well as vassals and Rogue Cultivators.

The more Luo Chen understood, the more puzzled he became.

Because!

Wars are not fought like this!

In his view, if one side is strong and the other weak, it should be a blitzkrieg, an annihilation war.

With thunderous power, one strike secures victory!

Just like the Luo Tian Creed’s approach to the Fu and Duan Families.

Definitely not a protracted affair that drags on for twenty years.

If both sides are strong, there are two possibilities.

Either sit down and have a proper talk, or engage in a prolonged war of attrition.

The former is impossible, since it involves the Fourth Order Spirit Land necessary for the cultivation of Nascent Soul True Masters; negotiation is definitely out of the question.

Thus, the last possibility remains—a war of attrition!

Judging by the current situation, it seems to fit with common understanding.

But no, something’s not right!

A true war of attrition should at least have some significant objectives as a focus for attack.

The Fourth Order mineral vein of Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain seems to meet this requirement.

But the struggle for such resource lands can be conducted in a much more ”civilized” manner.

Small-scale True Disciple sword fights, or if bolder, Ascendant Masters’ spell battles.

If those don’t suffice, a simple spar between two Nascent Soul True Masters could resolve the issue.

No need for such an extravagant display of force!

It can be said that, to the Nascent Soul True Masters, Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain is not worth mentioning at all!

If the Luo Yun Sect truly desired the Fourth Order Spirit Land, they should focus their war efforts on attacking the heartlands of the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

Even if they were to dispatch allied forces to wear down the living strength of the Sword Sect, they should target the Sword Sect’s heartlands, not a far-off enclave thousands of miles away.

The way they are fighting now is utterly pointless!

Other than whittling away the forces of Qingdan Valley, Ailao Mountain, Ice Castle, Flame Alliance, and the many vassals of the Sword Sect that reach a first-rate power level, it serves no purpose.

Oh, the most consumption among them has been the innumerable Rogue Cultivators.

And these are the elite among the Rogue Cultivators.

There lies the problem!

The word ”except” in this context shows that perhaps the significance of this lengthy war of attrition is indeed focused on wearing down all forces in the Yu Ding Realm, aside from the two great Ascendant Sects!

Qingdan Valley has the largest force and the highest number of Cultivators, yet their combat power is just average.

On the battlefield, faced with peers, apart from prodigies like Tao Wen, their other Sect members are no match for Disciples from other Sects on a one-on-one basis.

The Ice Castle has too few vassals, and after its Sect Disciples were depleted as cannon fodder, they have begun to enter the fray bare-chested.

Ailao Mountain’s main force got tangled up in the Blackwater Marsh battlefield, where they have suffered substantial losses.

Even a Golden Core Ascendant Master has fallen.

This is the situation on the side of the Four Sects Alliance.

Meanwhile, among the Sword Sect Alliance, Luo Chen knows that three affiliated powers have been beaten to the brink of extinction.

Among them is the recently famous Sky Blade Sect, where aside from the Sect Leader, most of the Foundation Establishment members have been heavily wounded.

The Flame Alliance didn’t fare much better.
