Those at the golden core rank and below could could tell that the cultivation of the person that appeared was at the fifth mortal coil, not due to the enhancement of an armor suit. This made them wonder who this person could be.
But Void Claw and the other nascent soul cultivators were able to tell that this person was the loose nascent soul cultivator that Void Claw had fought and nearly killed.
Void Claw had successfully destroyed their body when he fought this nascent soul cultivator, but he hadn't been able to destroy their soul. This specific information was not spread to the world, so most of the world thought that the nascent soul cultivator had died.
The nascent soul cultivator also didn't come forward to clarify the matter. After all, his defeat was indisputable, and that was already too shameful for him to talk about.
Besides, he didn't need to tell anyone that he was still alive. And even though very few people knew that he was still alive, these few people were able to understand why he was here.
Without thinking much about it, the patriarchs of the five sects were able to come to the conclusion that the loose nascent soul cultivator had possessed a new body and chose to participate in this war against the five sects.
They were even sure that his main target of revenge was Void Claw. Unfortunately for him, the situation became too dangerous for him before he could take revenge. This caused him to run away in defeat and shame.
The loose cultivator ran in the direction of the east. Then he disappeared suddenly. It seemed that he had engaged whatever trick he used to hide himself so as not to be tracked down and killed.
The nascent soul cultivators of both sides of this war saw this and sneered. They were enemies, but they could all agree to look down on this loose cultivator.
This loose cultivator didn't grow up in the Five Veins region. He came from upstream, where he was lucky enough to advance to the fifth mortal coil. Then he came downstream to live out the rest of his life.
His decision to come to the Five Veins region is out of place because nascent soul cultivators go upstream and yearn to go to richer regions of the world, not go downstream. It was clear that he was too weak for where he was upstream and decided to give up on growing stronger.
After a while, it became clear that he came to this part of the world to throw his power around and bully people. He didn't dare mess with nascent soul cultivators of this region, though. They were too strong for him.
He became a nascent soul cultivator with a foundation that stopped at the seventh mortal coil. So he was very much weaker than his peers.
He only focused on golden core cultivators as targets for bullying. Unfortunately for him, this backfired when he clashed with Void Claw at an auction.
His advantage of spiritual power didn't work against Void Claw because Void Claw had a spiritual artifact for protecting his soul. Void Claw was able to bypass his defenses and destroy his soul. So his body was destroyed by a junior, and he had to run away with his nascent soul in defeat.
As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, he snuck onto the battlefield for revenge only to have to run away in disgrace. No nascent soul cultivator sympathized with him. They all felt embarrassed that he was a nascent soul cultivator like them.
If not for the fact that he had hidden himself, they would have hunted him down and killed him. Even the people of the Red and Blue Fire sect, whom he was helping, felt embarrassed to be associated with him.
The leader of the Red and Blue Fire sect said with disdain, "What a disappointment. At the end of the day, if we want to do something, we can only trust ourselves."
Currently, the battle was going well for the five sects. They were destroying mobile fortresses and killing the troops of the Red and Blue Fire sect. If the situation continued like this, the Red and Blue Fire sect might actually be defeated in this battle.
Not only were they at risk of a defeat, but the loss that they would incur if they were to lose would he significant. Even if they managed to retreat, their losses might even make it impossible for them to win any future battles.
The patriarchs of the Red and Blue Fire sect couldn't let this happen. They had become angrier than they were before the battle began, so they were willing to use one of their trump cards now.
The second strongest patriarch took out his fire cauldron. His fire cauldron was a cauldron full of fire.
A fire cauldron could be anything. As long as it could hold their life fire, anything could work as a fire cauldron. But this nascent soul patriarch decided to use a literal cauldron to contain his life fire and enhance its power.
The fire cauldron rose to the sky above the battlefield. Then it blazed brightly in the darkness of the obscure mist.
A star suddenly appeared in the darkness. Even before it did anything, everyone beneath it could feel their skin burning. This was because this fire cauldron was a rank 6 artifact. This was also why the flight prohibition didn't work on it.
The nascent soul patriarch said, "Enough. Let's end this."
Then fire fell from the star in the sky onto the earth.
Fire fell to the earth like meteors. Each drop of fire was as heavy as a mountain. Each drop of fire was also a bomb. They exploded when they touched the ground and incinerated everything.
The fire cauldron mainly targeted the second wall. So most of the fire pouring down from the sky smashed into the second wall and the area around it.
