Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han returned to the small courtyard. Surprisingly, Jiang Lang wasn't out gallivanting; instead, he was sitting in the hall, looking relieved to see Jiang Han return.

Jiang Lang got up and poured Jiang Han a cup of tea, asking, "How was it?"

"Not bad!"

Jiang Han said with a faint smile, "I got more than a dozen barbarian heads and made it onto the merit榜."

"Awesome!"

Jiang Lang gave a thumbs up, then got up and walked towards his room, saying at the door, "I can't persuade you anyway, so just be careful. I'm going back to cultivate."

"Huh?"

Jiang Han looked at Jiang Lang as if he were a monster, asking, "You're actually cultivating? What's gotten into you? By the way… what's your cultivation level now?"

"Hmph!"

Jiang Lang snorted coldly. He suddenly stopped running his aura concealment technique, and his Divine Altar began to operate, releasing a surge of powerful energy.

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Han stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Jiang Lang and said, "Fatty, you're actually at the eighth level of the Mountain Sea Realm? I haven't seen you cultivate at all!"

"That's just because you haven't seen it!"

Jiang Lang curled his lip and said, "While you guys are sleeping, I'm secretly cultivating in the middle of the night. Of course, my talent is no worse than anyone else's. If I had continued cultivating at the age of twelve, Si Li wouldn't necessarily be my match now."

"Impressive!"

Jiang Han was sincerely impressed. He felt like Jiang Lang was always out having fun, but he didn't expect his cultivation speed to be so fast. His talent was truly monstrous.

"Alas…"

Jiang Lang sighed melancholically, "Jiang Ya is coming soon, and I don't want him to look down on me. I'm going into seclusion for a while to break through to the Reincarnation Realm first. You take it easy."

"Go ahead!"

Jiang Han waved his hand, turned, and went back to his room to cultivate. He cultivated for two hours before falling into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Han went outside the city to gather, having signed up for the island defense battle.

Si Li didn't come this time. More than twenty Reincarnation Realm cultivators and two Celestial Human Realm cultivators from Sword Demon Peak had signed up.

None of the people from yesterday's island capture had appeared. Therefore, the people defending the island today looked at Jiang Han with the same gaze as yesterday's group, as if they were looking at a dead man.

In everyone's mind, going to the Golden Island battle as a low-level Reincarnation Realm cultivator was basically suicide. What difference was there between Jiang Han, a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, joining in on the fun and a dead man?

After everyone had gathered, the two Celestial Human Realm cultivators led the team out of Heavenly Chaos City to join up with the other cultivators who had signed up for the Golden Island battle.

Jiang Han once again received countless disdainful and mocking gazes. He was used to it, standing quietly in a corner, waiting.

The merit points for the island defense battle were fewer than those for the island capture battle, so the island defense battle wasn't as popular, and no geniuses or freaks from the New秀榜 had signed up.

Perhaps in the hearts of many geniuses and freaks, opening up new territories and conquering new lands for the human race would be more fulfilling.

Ten Celestial Human Realm cultivators arrived, mostly middle-aged or elderly people, with not a single young person.

Finally, a Void Breaking Realm elder in a purple robe came out. He took out a warship and had everyone board.

Then, the warship flew south.

Because it was a defense mission, the distance was short. After only half an hour of flying, the warship arrived at a huge island.

"Land!"

The purple-robed elder waved his hand and said, "Those who understand divine arrays, deploy them. The demons will return to capture the island in an hour. Lao He, go set up a mist array."

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed, and the six Celestial Human Realm cultivators, along with some Reincarnation Realm cultivators, began to set up divine arrays.

They were deploying simple divine arrays. There was no need to set up anything too complicated, as it would result in a huge loss of array materials if broken.

Jiang Han only understood the Thunder Dispersal Array and the Thunder 引導 Array. He couldn't possibly set up those two types of arrays here, could he? There wasn't even any lightning in the sky.

He found a hidden corner, dug a hole, and went underground. He dug many tunnels underground to make it easier to move around later.

An hour later, a warship broke through the sky from the north. The demons had arrived.

"Lao He, activate the array!"

The purple-robed elder shouted in a deep voice. A Celestial Human Realm elder activated a divine array, and suddenly, white mist emerged from many places on the island, shrouding the entire island in mist.

"What's the use of this white mist?"

Jiang Han sensed it and found that the white mist was just pure mist. Other than interfering with visibility, it didn't seem to have any meaning.

The white mist interfered with the enemy's visibility, but it also interfered with the human race's visibility. Everyone was affected, so what was the point?

"咻咻咻~"

One by one, demons leaped down from the warship in mid-air and rushed into the island.

Most of these demons had green scales, only ten had cyan scales, and one had blue scales.

The different colors of the scales on the demons' bodies represented different realms. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, and black corresponded to different realms.

Demons with green scales were equivalent to human Reincarnation Realm cultivators, and the deeper the green color, the stronger their combat power, which was very easy to distinguish.

The demons all had weapons, mostly hooks, and a small number used iron skewers. Other than the scales on their bodies, the demons looked no different from humans.

The Void Breaking Realm demons went to the high altitude to fight the human Void Breaking Realm cultivators. Their combat power was too terrifying. If they fought on the island, many low-level cultivators would be killed by the aftermath of their attacks.

Therefore, whether it was the island capture battle or the island defense battle, Void Breaking Realm experts fought in the high altitude. This was an unwritten rule.

With their powerful strength, they disdained to kill low-level cultivators.

The Celestial Human Realm cultivators flew into the mid-air, but fought in the low altitude, three levels, divided into three battlefields, and began a bloody slaughter.

"This white mist is useful!"

Jiang Han lurked underground, and through the Spirit Seeking Technique, he quickly discovered the use of the white mist.

After all the demons rushed down, they all emitted black mist from their bodies. The black mist surrounding their bodies was very conspicuous in the white mist, making them easy targets.

Human cultivators lurked in the white mist, and once they discovered black mist spreading over, they knew that demons were approaching.

Conversely, it would be more difficult for demons to discover humans lurking in the white mist.

"砰砰砰!"

Fierce battles broke out quickly, with the demons' strange roars, the humans' angry shouts, and explosions rising and falling.

Because of the white mist, the humans were basically scattered, scattered throughout the island. Therefore, the demons also dispersed after entering the island, each searching for opponents to fight.

"Hmm, the demons have quite a few demonic techniques!"

Jiang Han observed from underground for a while and found that many demons had special demonic techniques, similar to human divine abilities. After observing for a while, he had a rough idea in his mind.

"Time to collect heads!"

Jiang Han quickly traveled underground, looking for suitable targets.

As before, he wouldn't actively snatch heads, but if the human race was at a disadvantage, or if a human cultivator was killed, he would sneak attack.

He didn't care what others thought of him. He wasn't a top ten genius on the New秀榜, nor was he a son of a wealthy family. What did he need those false reputations for?

What he wanted was a large number of merit points, a quick reduction in his sentence, and to be on the top ten of the merit榜, to meet the City Lord of Heavenly Chaos City, and to inquire about the Divine Maiden 图.

"I'll start with you!"

Jiang Han detected that a demon above had just killed a human cultivator but was seriously injured himself. His eyes flashed with killing intent, and he began his scavenging mode.
