Chapter 2246: The Ancient God's Desperate Gamble

Elated Heaven let out a furious roar, and this stubborn fool truly cannot be reasoned with, but the Dragon God remains overwhelmingly strong, just as in ancient times. Seeing that continuing like this would lead to certain defeat, its form suddenly contracted, shrinking from a divine eagle into a grinding-stone-sized ball of light, the red light blazing fiercely.

But the Dragon God's combat experience is extraordinarily rich; the moment Elated Heaven's form began to contract, its dragon body instantly scattered into black mist, instantly enveloping the light ball, and within the mist, thousands of chains shot out, tightly binding Elated Heaven.

The sound of clashing metal filling the sky was like that of a cold, vast prison.

The Dragon God had prepared for this plan for many years, of course it had to fully consider contingency plans for Elated Heaven's defeat, and had reserved surplus for this purpose.

Before completely enveloping Elated Heaven, it also shook off all the golden light.

It does not intend to let the Red General participate in this subsequent battle.

In less than half a breath, a tremendous roar echoed within the black mist, startling the four wilds, the rumbling sound unknown how many li it had traveled.

Not to mention the entire cloud sea being shaken by the shockwave, even the onlooker Shi Shichu was blown dizzy and disoriented, instinctively covering his ears.

The cocoon formed by the black mist suddenly expanded outward, faint red light seeping through.

Shi Shichu murmured: "So the Great Heavenly Demon also self-destructed its soul?"

But the black mist anticipated the enemy in advance, tenaciously wrapping this earth-shaking great explosion, preventing it from causing further damage to the Red General's sea of consciousness.

He Lingchuan watched without blinking: "Elated Heaven intends to fight to the death, to kill the Red General!"

In a contest of sheer strength, Elated Heaven knows it cannot defeat the Dragon God. The Dragon God had long laid traps, seized the initiative, and had been meticulously scheming against this terrifying opponent for decades; even its greatest divine form had no use, so what chance of victory could it possibly have?

But do not forget, the battlefield is the Red General's sea of consciousness!

Is destroying the Red General's sea of consciousness not easier than defeating the Dragon God? Though heavenly laws have changed and self-destructing the soul no longer has large-scale destructive power in the external world, that applies only to external reality.

With Elated Heaven's soul being so powerful, shattering this sea of consciousness should be effortless.

Once the Red General dies, the Dragon God can no longer contain it.

For today's true form descent, Elated Heaven has also painstakingly prepared these years. Once this physical body is damaged, its descent into the human world will be indefinitely delayed, subsequent plans cannot be carried out, and above, the Lingxu Holy Sovereign still seeks trouble with it.

But nothing compares to the urgency of escaping right now.

Only regrettable that the devil gains one foot, the Dao gains one zhang, the Dragon God always guards against it.

Within the black mist cocoon, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, like a storm being stirred up, and the two still saw the red light flashing and crackling within the Lei Ting.

Clearly, Elated Heaven's self-destruct power is terrifyingly formidable. Relying solely on the Red General himself, he simply cannot contain it.

Yet even so, the black mist did not disperse, still tenaciously wrapping Elated Heaven.

Shi Shichu again said: "It seems Elated Heaven cannot escape—"

Before the words finished, the black mist cocoon suddenly contracted violently.

Within it, something seemed to erupt with strong suction, drawing all the clouds and mist in the sea of consciousness toward it.

The Jin Guang was no exception.

Shi Shichu was greatly startled, his heart leaping to his throat: "Ah this!"

"First explode, then suck in—Elated Heaven indeed still has a trump card." Such a great one would certainly not resign to bowing its head and dying. Seeing that the previous explosion's power was blocked by the black mist, it immediately switched to another counterattack method,

The Dragon God dares to take on everything head-on, hard-receiving all of Elated Heaven's attacks, must certainly be injured in the explosion, unexpectedly Elated Heaven still has this move,

The black mist was all sucked in, the mist cocoon barely able to hold on,

After Elated Heaven's self-destruction, it left behind a huge black hole at the spot, frenziedly sucking in everything inward!

The next second, the entire sea of consciousness cloud waves surged and churned, rolling black mist flying up halfway, fearlessly rushing to the battlefield.

Vast expanses of black mist were sucked in, while vast expanses of black mist rushed forward to replenish.

Clearly the Dragon God also mobilized all of its power, holding nothing back.

"What is going on?!" Shi Shichu drenched in cold sweat, "After Elated Heaven's self-destruction, it still has such immense divine power! What to do?"

After immortals self-destruct, they usually leave nothing behind. An existence that once surpassed the Great Heavenly Demon indeed transcends common sense.

If not for the Dragon God holding the field, such an opponent would likely make even a true immortal feel despair.

He Lingchuan however murmured: "The Death Ancient God, surely must have some exceptionally outstanding qualities."

Distant sky azure blue, yet on the lake surface wind rose and clouds surged, this magnificent spectacle made his heart sway, unforgettable in this life.

Unfortunately, only two people can witness this scene.

This great battle has reached the point of no return, fight to the death!

If the black mist defeats Elated Heaven, the latter falls on the spot, from then on the two realms will have no more Death Ancient God:

If Elated Heaven absorbs all the black mist, then the Red General's sea of consciousness will also be destroyed together, Zhong Shengguang and the Dragon God's painstaking efforts ruined in an instant.

Both sides are in a desperate situation, fighting to the death!

At this moment, it is a contest of whose foundation is deeper, whose cultivation is more profound, whose understanding of the laws is more thorough!

He Lingchuan, while observing the sea of consciousness battle manifested by the Great Expansion Heaven Pearl, simultaneously commanded the Panlong Army to launch a final fierce assault against the Between Between Between Beijia army,

A standard case of single-minded dual-use.

Even if he were more concerned about the Red General and the Dragon God, and more concerned about the outcome of the god-demon war, he could not neglect the real-world great battle.

The Three Gods' Descent Halberd Sank in Sand, the Golden Horn Clan nearly annihilated, the Between Between Between Beijia army's morale already in chaos.

Wu Xianxian, seeing the situation was lost, decisively ordered the recall signal and troop withdrawal, retreating from the County Magistrate Lake.

Without waiting for Elated Heaven's order, He Lingchuan assigned several deputy generals to pursue all the way.

After winning the ambush battle at County Magistrate Lake, Wu Xianxian's reinforcement force had only to withdraw, so the Between Between Between Beijia troops in the central and western parts of Xiluo temporarily received no support.

The troops retreated like a tide, leaving only a ground full of door handles.

The Xiluo people Hong Qixing led the masses to surrender to the Panlong Army, kneeling with extraordinary decisiveness.

At this time, He Lingchuan was instead looking up at the sky.

The thick clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a dark red sky, still slightly undulating. This also confirmed He Lingchuan's inference—

That was the red sea of the Great Vessel.

The vessel probably was overloaded again.

But fortunately, the battle within the Red General's sea of consciousness world continues, undisturbed.

Before long, the skinny man shouted, "General, found the Golden-Horn Demon General!"

"Coming." He Lingchuan heard the call and spurred his horse over.

The Golden-Horn General lay beneath a large tree, bleeding from the seven orifices, his belly still rising and falling faintly.

He Lingchuan saw at a glance that he was beyond saving.

If he were human, Wu Xianxian would have long since ordered men to carry him back, but the Golden-Horn General's tonnage was staggering, and Wu Xianxian had not brought any heavy-load battle puppets like the Jin Jia Copper Generals, so there was no way to take him along.

He Lingchuan crouched beside him and said softly, "Any last words?"

The Golden-Horn General was also a proud and fierce great demon who had once established countless glorious military exploits on the battlefield. He Lingchuan asking this was a mark of respect for him.

"The Maitreya True Body has descended, you people also, also—
