Chapter 396 - 396 Attacking the city!


After hesitating for a moment, the disciples of the alliance looked at each other, before they all followed the golden-robed man"s group as they headed towards the small city in the distance.


The moment that they arrived just 2 miles away from the city, Shun Long saw Qiu Lei"s group split into 3 different groups, as the golden-robed young man and Qiu Lei, as well as 2 more people at the rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage spearheaded the attack in the city, while the other 2 groups attacked from the sides!


Although the disciples of the alliance turned somewhat chaotic when they saw the unexpected splitting of the group in the lead, most of them still followed the first group, while less than 30 disciples followed the other 2 groups.


At the same time, as Shun Long flew after the first group, he also realized that the conjecture that he had arrived in during the first test, was actually wrong.


Just the alliance of disciples that was attacking this city alone, numbered close to 200 people!


This meant that, if there were 200 disciples that were attacking each one of the 1000 cities in this world, the total number of disciples that are partic.i.p.ating in the third test would reach close to 200.000!


Even if the second test actually eliminated half of the disciples that took part in it, if Shun Long factored in, that only one-fourth of the disciples that were originally partic.i.p.ating in the first test managed to successfully pa.s.s it, the number of people that entered the Holy sect"s test in the beginning, must have definitely surpa.s.sed 1.5 million!


""1.500.000 disciples, all of them either at the late-stages of the Spirit realm or the Nascent Soul stage...""


As Shun Long came to this conclusion, he realized how terrifying the Holy sect"s influence really was. After all, in the entire Night star continent, there were only 200.000 people who met the criteria to partic.i.p.ate in the Holy sect"s test. Even if some people had decided to partic.i.p.ate in the entrance selection of the "Demon Emperor Palace" instead of the Holy sect"s, these people definitely didn"t number more than 50.000.


As soon as Shun Long"s group neared closer to the city gates, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators that were stationed in the city walls instantly sounded the alarm, before waves of attacks flew towards Shun Long and the rest of the disciples like a tsunami that was about to drown them.


Flame arrows, water pythons, sword and saber slashes filled with qi, ice shards, as well as many other types of attacks, all looked to bury this group of disciples, before they could even approach close to the city walls.


It didn"t matter if it were the flame arrows, the ice shards, or any other type of attack, everything that came in contact with the crimson flames around this man"s body was instantly destroyed.


At the same time, Shun Long also realized, that this young man was actually a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert!


As for Qiu Lei and the rest, they all had their own means to easily resist these attacks, as they continued to fly towards the city walls.


Surprisingly, Qiu Lei"s cultivation which was at the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage, was actually the weakest one among the 4 people in this group! Aside from the golden-robed young man who seemed to be the strongest, the other 2 disciples around him were actually at the middle of rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage as well.


Of course, since these people were previously concealing their cultivation, it was impossible for Shun Long who had yet to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage and form his soul sense, to sense their levels before these people started fighting.


As for the attacks that came his way, Shun Long had it just as easy as the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage young man, as he activated the "Monarch"s Domain"!


Every attack that entered inside the "Monarch"s Domain", was akin to entering Shun Long"s kingdom, unable to approach any closer to his body, as the flow of time around them was forcefully frozen.


In front of Shun Long"s "Monarch"s Domain", even the attacks of rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivators were practically worthless.


To avoid attracting too much attention however, Shun Long didn"t activate the "Monarch"s Domain" to its fullest, only allowing it to cover a small area around his body.


The rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivators on top of the city walls were stunned when they saw that their attacks were actually useless against the enemies" group!


Against 140 cultivators, most of whom were already at the early or middle rank 2 of the Nascent Soul stage, once they started to work together, the onslaught from 1000 rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivators and late-stage Spirit realm ones was practically nonexistent.


As for monsters like Shun Long or the golden-robed young man and the rest of the rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they didn"t even need to team up with others as they easily ignored these attacks and continued flying towards the city.


The moment that he arrived above the city walls, the golden-robed young man was the first one to attack, as he gathered his qi in his left hand and sent a powerful punch forward!


A fist of crimson flames escaped his arm, and flew towards the city walls below him at extreme speed, catching the late-stage Spirit realm and the Nascent Soul stage cultivators completely off-guard!


Before they had any time to escape, more than 10 rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and almost 30 late-stage Spirit realm ones were submerged by the gigantic fist of flames, as they were killed in an instant!


Not willing to waste any more time than necessary against the "small fries", the golden-robed young man threw a mocking look at the remaining people on top of the city walls, before he instantly spread his soul sense and flew towards the east of the city, followed by Qiu Lei and the 2 middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators behind him!
