Chapter 2244: Red General Reinforces

"It resembles a fierce eagle with horns, the sole one among the heavenly demons!" Xu Shichu said urgently, "This is the image of the ancient death god!"

He Lingchuan was startled.

The heavenly demons' doubts were indeed justified.

Before the expedition, Xu Shichu, to facilitate mutual communication, specially refined a pair of "ear spirits"; once activated, they could hear each other's words in real time within a thousand zhang.

This is the style of silver earrings; fortunately, they only need to be hung behind the ear, no piercing required.

In the sea of consciousness, the dragon god then said: "In past battles, I felt your use of the divine seal was overly proficient, even surpassing that of the Lingxu Holy Venerable. Indeed, what is this 'Mitiān' in the world? You are the ancient death god!"

"What Holy Venerable? That's just a bunch of fools!" The red mist in midair sneered coldly, "We captured the world's core, intending to prolong the heavenly realm's life, but who knew that at the most critical moment of refinement, Lingxu led the masses in rebellion! I broke through the encirclement, severely wounded and unable to endure, so I underwent nirvana, transferring into a passing minor heavenly demon!"

The listeners suddenly understood.

Thus, the ancient death god vanished, and the demon realm gained a new god, Mitiān.

No wonder Mitiān harbors bone-deep hatred for the gods; indeed, there is a deep blood feud.

Xu Shichu said softly: "The demon realm is on the brink of death, like an old man nearing his end. The heavenly demons cannot receive nourishment, so three thousand years ago they broke through the spacetime barrier and invaded our world!"

He Lingchuan also understood: "It seems that refinement failed due to the interruption by Lingxu and the gods. Otherwise, the three great holy gods joining forces to capture and seize the core of the new world, as the demon realm's new power source, would likely have rejuvenated the demon realm once more."

If the three holy gods had succeeded, the heavenly demons would never have needed to invade this realm.

"After this failure, Lingxu Holy Venerable could no longer take over and continue the refinement, so they had to abandon it. Later, unable to prevail in the human realm, they settled for second best, uniting the myriad demons to refine the world's heart core into the Tianluo Star." The ancient death god said this, then couldn't help cursing, "A bunch of useless things!"

Thus, its hatred for Lingxu Holy Venerable is entirely justified.

The two titans fought while conversing.

"Zhong Wugan's sea of consciousness simply cannot contain you! These past years, where have you been hiding, clinging to life?" Lady Lady Lady Mitian, with his vast experience, also realized at this moment, "Could it be..."

As everyone knows, the dragon god collided with a star and fell three thousand years ago. Lady Lady Lady Mitian also never expected that his divine soul could appear within his own fleshly form!

This is a meticulously planned hunt targeting oneself!

The dragon god laughed loudly, voice shaking heaven and earth: "Cause and effect intertwine, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, life and death face each other— isn't this your Dao? Come, come, let us spar."

Lady Lady Lady Mitian flew into midair, and the sea of clouds became the battlefield of the dragon god and the Red General, black and gold thick mist swirling and rolling, forming a erupting golden flame volcano.

As the dragon god's words fell, black mist surged skyward, nearly filling the entire sea of consciousness space.

These black mists recondensed in midair into dragon form, but the dragon eyes, horns, dorsal mane, and five claws were golden, splendid and solemn, awe-inspiring!

Even the black dragon's exhaled breath was of black and gold hues.

For over twenty years, the dragon god's soul had scattered into the foundational energy of Zhong Wugan's sea of consciousness, merging with it. Now, conversely, Zhong Wugan transformed his own soul power and vital energy into the dragon god's weapons, aiding in battle against the great heavenly demon!

By her own strength, she could not possibly oppose Lady Lady Lady Mitian.

But when she transformed herself, turning her vital energy into the dragon god's weapons, the damage inflicted on Lady Lady Lady Mitian instead rose geometrically.

He Lingchuan, amidst his fierce battles, repeatedly glanced back at the sea of consciousness battle manifested from the Great Yan Heavenly Pearl, and the three-sided combat pattern gave him great inspiration.

When the two strong contend, the dragon god gaining one point of assistance results in damage to the great heavenly demon far exceeding just one point!

The body of the divine eagle torn open by golden claws cannot heal for a long time, leaking threads of red smoke.

This is certainly due to the dragon god's power, but vital energy likewise shone brilliantly in this battle!

It made Zhong Wugan's power like having a cheat enabled, capable of inflicting superior damage on the incomparably mighty Lady Lady Lady Mitian.

He Lingchuan observed carefully, forming a new assessment of the role of vital energy.

Of course, the black dragon's body is the same; after being wounded by the divine eagle, it suffered equally severe injuries, with wounds gushing rolling black mist, just like human bleeding.

Xu Shichu worried: "The dragon god's size seems to be shrinking."

Its consumption is too great. After all, it is far from its peak period.

He Lingchuan, however, said: "Lady Lady Lady Mitian is also not having an easy time. The dragon god has the Red General's aid, so its attack power is even stronger."

In the sea of consciousness, the physiques of both sides are manifestations of soul power; their injuries, bleeding, and fatigue are all manifestations of soul power depletion.

During the prolonged, grueling struggle where both sides compare endurance, Zhong Wugan's assistance becomes extremely crucial. The dragon god's attacks on Lady Lady Lady Mitian, each strike, becomes heavier.

This mutual gain and loss means the scales of victory tilt bit by bit.

Thus, her and Panlongcheng's vital energy are certainly not mere embellishment; they may very well become the final straw that breaks the enemy's back.

The two watched the images while busy. Although they knew this was an illusion, the real battle occurring within the Red General's sea of consciousness, they still felt as if they could sense the fierce wind raised by the black dragon and divine eagle sweeping toward them.

The Red General stood with eyes closed in place, motionless.

Just then, in the eastern sky, that huge hole grew larger and larger, within it faint red light seeped out, He Lingchuan genuinely worried that this might also be Lady Lady Lady Mitian's hidden move.

If the sea of consciousness battle is lost, will it directly shatter the Red General's physical body? Physical annihilation is also a good method.

In the past, whenever it was Zhong Wugan's memorial day, the northern cliffs of Panlongcheng would descend with extraordinarily magnificent thunder pillars— that was Lady Lady Lady Mitian's divine manifestation. This great heavenly demon, capable of stirring thunderstorms, might also have hidden some great killer in the clouds?

He Lingchuan could only remind Xu Shichu via the ear spirit: "Watch the red light in the cloud hole; if anything descends, take the Red General away."

Faced with this chaotic situation, he had to divide his attention into multiple uses, and indeed felt somewhat lacking in mental energy.

"Red light?" Xu Shichu startled, looked up, focused for a few breaths, then said, "General He, I see no red light."

Not seeing it? He Lingchuan startled, lifted his eyes, and saw the red light in the cloud hole blazing fiercely, even somewhat undulating.

With this phenomenon, anyone with eyes would not overlook it, yet Xu Shichu saw nothing?

He Lingchuan raised his spear, flung an enemy flying, then immediately turned the spear to point at the cloud hole, asking the rear guards: "The red light in the cloud hole above— do you see it?"

Red light? The three guards followed his spear tip, their expressions clearly also startled. Two immediately shook their heads; another, considering the Tiger Wing General's question must be answered carefully, looked twice more before solemnly saying: "General, I see no red light."

These few guards and Xu Shichu saw nothing; others likely also saw nothing. Thus, this may not necessarily be Lady Lady Lady Mitian's doing—

No matter what Lady Lady Lady Mitian intends to do, there's no need to set it up so that only He Lingchuan can see it.
