Chapter 1748: Attempt to Invade

Immortal Diyan's first two steps were still a bit staggering, but then he blew a breath of white air at the wounds on his body.

The wounds quickly formed a layer of frost and froze.

The power of Elder Du's soul implosion was very great, and even an Immortal body couldn't withstand it.

Elder Liu gritted his teeth: "I'm going to take him!"

As soon as the words fell, another monster Immortal crawled out of the woods and stood beside Immortal Diyan, and the Tiangong army also surrounded them.

"It's too late." Xiao Wencheng grabbed Elder Liu. "Since he has shown his face, we'll deal with him later! Look, there is also unusual movement in the west of the island."

He Lingchuan murmured: "The Heavenly Demon can use the body of an Immortal?"

Some questions in his mind were suddenly resolved.

He Lingchuan had discovered the Brain-Eating Insect Demon just now. Seeing them standing firmly on their side, the Illusion Sect Immortals felt better about them and had a bit more patience.

"After so many years, the Heavenly Demon has also collected some Immortal skins, specifically for use at times like this!" Elder Liu gritted his back teeth. "Only the body of an Immortal can withstand the descent of a Heavenly Demon, allowing the Heavenly Demon to exert power in the human world and be less restricted!"

Among ordinary humans or practitioners, the special constitution lucky enough to serve as a Heavenly Demon skin was one in a hundred thousand, and it was hard for the Heavenly Demon to find them. For example, Nalotian, as the main god of the Kshatriya Heaven, had to sign a contract with He Chunhua to get He Lingchuan's skin, promising him many conditions.

Even so, these skins could at most withstand one or two tenths of the Heavenly Demon's power. Once exceeded, the body would collapse; once overtime, the body would still collapse...

So the Heavenly Demon could only descend as a clone, and its actions in the human world were always restricted and very inconvenient, and the time limit was short.

But if it used the shell of an Immortal, it would be different!

As great powers who fought back and forth with the Heavenly Demon in ancient times, the Immortal body had extremely strong endurance and there was no risk of collapsing at any time.

The only difficulty was that it was hard to get.

At this time, He Lingchuan finally understood why the Heavenly Demon was so keen on digging out Immortal caves.

Besides eliminating old opponents, they also coveted the other side's body!

No wonder Elder Du didn't surrender after being defeated, but directly self-destructed. Because he knew his own end.

"Even if they take the Immortal skin, they can't wear it anytime, anywhere and run around, right?" Until today, He Lingchuan hadn't seen any Heavenly Demon using an Immortal skin, not even one!

It could be seen that the Immortal skin wasn't a good piece of clothing either; one couldn't wear it whenever one wanted.

"They can't." Xiao Wencheng said casually. "Whatever restrictions we are subject to, they can't escape either!"

Why did the Immortals who survived to this day hide in cave dwellings? Because the spiritual energy in the outside world was insufficient, and long-term exposure would lead to a significant decline in their own spiritual power, and even eventual extinction.

The Heavenly Demon that took the Immortal shell would also be subject to this condition. Therefore, it was impossible for them to go down to the world to stroll around for no reason.

"The process of so-called 'God Descent' consumes extreme amounts of Nightmare Qi. If a Heavenly Demon descends with five parts of power, then after entering the skin, it might only have two or three parts left; nearly half of the energy is consumed on the road." How precious was the Nightmare Qi of the God Realm now? No Heavenly Demon could consume it for no reason. "And according to our knowledge, the Heavenly Demon's descent into the human world seems to be subject to certain restrictions and cannot exist for long. This is also the direction of the Master's long-term research."

Elder Liu added: "In addition, although the Heavenly Demon can occupy our skin, once injured in battle, it recovers very slowly."

Occupying the magpie's nest was, after all, not as smooth as the original controlling it, and even the operation of the body, bones, and blood was not as smooth as the original.

He Lingchuan's gaze flickered: "Wait a minute. They have already used the Immortal shell, so is it a Heavenly Demon clone or the main body that descended?"

"If a Great Heavenly Demon descends, it might just be a clone." Xiao Wencheng said coldly. "If it is a so-called subordinate god or below, then it can achieve something close to the main body coming in person!"

He pointed at Immortal Diyan in the mirror: "I hope that what descended onto Diyan is a complete Heavenly Demon, so that when I catch it, I will definitely let it enjoy the true fire burning the soul!"

"Complete Heavenly Demon power!" Was this the trump card for the Tiangong to dare to rush into the ancient True Immortal cave dwelling? "Is this Immortal skin available at any time?"

"No, they have to prepare for a long time in advance! God Descent is not a simple ritual. Because of the existence of the barrier between the two worlds, the more power the Heavenly Demon intends to project, the more difficult the God Descent process is."

As old opponents of the Heavenly Demon, these Immortals knew very well the complexity and twists of the Great God Descent.

He Lingchuan suddenly realized.

In the past, when he and Mother Zhu caused trouble at Xushan and burned the Star-Plucking Tower, the Tiangong dispatched two Kui beasts and a Heavenly God clone, which was a small God Descent by Baizhantian.

Why didn't the Tiangong dispatch a more powerful skin? He Lingchuan felt a bit of lingering fear now. Thanks to the quick-battle plan he formulated at the time, the whole process didn't exceed a quarter-hour, and the Tiangong didn't have time to activate a more powerful defense.

A lucky mistake.

"The Tiangong is determined to kill its way into the Chaohu this time, and even the Heavenly Demons are in place." He Lingchuan watched intently. "Their preparations must be thorough; this confrontation today has just begun."

There would probably be huge casualties.

……

Another half an hour passed, and Xiao Wencheng's expression became more solemn, because even though the Illusion Sect tried its best to stop them, another lighthouse of Miaozhan Heaven was built in the Shihezi area adjacent to the lakeside! The Haoyuan Golden Mirror's screen showed that this area quickly blurred, and the lighthouse barrier shielded all the Illusion Sect's privileges here.

This was the sixth lighthouse built by the Tiangong.

Looking at it from the sand table, there were still some gaps between them, but as long as two more were built, they could be roughly connected.

Xiao Wencheng walked to the side of the sand table and pointed: "The Tiangong has established six lighthouse barriers, but there is no display on this sand table!"

This sand table showed the mountains and rivers of the Chaohu. Every small house, every piece of farmland, and even the small trees on the mountain peaks on Yinzhu Island were clearly visible and the characters could move.

This was a real-scene sand table, keeping in mind every dynamic change on Yinzhu Island.

But He Lingchuan had long noticed that after the lighthouse was built, no, to be precise, after the Eye of Truth above the lighthouse opened, all changes within the barrier were no longer displayed on the sand table! Both sides had invested so many people in the battle, and the battlefield was riddled with holes, and no one knew how many people had been knocked to the ground. But all this had disappeared on the sand table.

The sand table showed that these six places were empty! Just like before the Tiangong team invaded, peaceful and harmonious.

Even the lighthouse itself was not on this sand table, and there was no Eye of Truth. ===== CHAPTER 1749 =====
