Chapter 2487: Prelude Order Divine Mandate

After he landed, the Earth Mother's avatar finished its punching.

It wasn't that it didn't want to fight anymore, but the green-haired beast locked the triangular object in its hand onto it.

Earlier, this beast had been trying to lock onto He Lingchuan, but he was cunning, moving too fast, never giving it the chance. The Earth Mother's avatar was more honest, standing still and outputting, and thus got locked onto immediately.

Then a golden light shot out from the triangular object, enclosing the Earth Mother's avatar within.

The Earth Mother's avatar was still pounding the River Dragon beast, when the green-haired beast twisted its hands, like turning a steering wheel, also like unscrewing a large, stiff pump nozzle, rotating the triangular object counterclockwise.

This must not be easy either, for the green-haired beast's shoulder and neck muscles bulged high, straining with all its might.

Thus, the Earth Mother's avatar enveloped in golden light suddenly slowed its hand movements.

One source of its terrifying power is "speed," yet the more the green-haired beast twists the triangular object, the slower the Earth Mother's avatar's movements become.

Slow—what attack power remains?

The River Dragon beast, which had just been pressed to the ground and beaten in the first clash, finally found an opening to strike back.

After receiving a brutal beating from the Earth Mother, it could still flip up and rise, its movement not slow at all.

Immediately after, it punched the Earth Mother's avatar in the abdomen.

People hit it a hundred punches, it only returned one punch.

He Lingchuan, however, frowned tightly, for though this punch seemed ordinary, it actually produced a startling effect on the stone giant's body.

After the fist landed, another two breaths passed, and the rocks in the stone giant's abdomen suddenly detached.

This looseness spread rapidly through the whole body—about five breaths later, the stone giant had only just glanced at its hands when its head also fell off.

On the ground lay only a large pile of rubble, until two thunderbolts struck down, turning the rubble into fine sand.

This move was exactly like the one that earlier shattered He Lingchuan's bronze bone shield.

"Restore?" the Earth Mother in Lei Chi said, her voice now cautious, "You turned my avatar back into sand?"

The River Dragon beast rose, and the last grayish beast lunged onto it, instantly merging with it.

Before He Lingchuan could understand what this beast's ability was, the River Dragon beast clicked its dislocated jaw back into place with a crack, then patted the dust off its body:

"This is called Jie Xu."

"So that's your divine mandate." He Lingchuan stepped forward again, the spear tip stabbing straight at the triangular necklace on his neck, "What was it called again, 'Xu Ling Shen Ge'?"

"I sensed a familiar aura from you." Jia Lou Tian swung a fist to deflect the spear tip, the twin-blade beast also slashing over, "Sure enough, the Fate Divine Mandate is on you?"

Seeing the green-haired beast raise the triangular object again to aim at himself, He Lingchuan used the twin-blade beast's body to block it, preventing the light ring from shining on himself. This thing can imprison space—if he were trapped, trouble would be great.

Jia Lou Tian's gaze fell upon his left wrist—

After sensing the Xu Ling Shen Ge, the Gold Snake Embracing Ring had already automatically appeared.

This gold snake circled his wrist once, then flicked its tongue at Jia Lou Tian.

Jia Lou Tian said in a low voice: "That waste of Na Luo Tian."

Actually snatched the divine mandate by a human!

The Earth Mother here also asked He Lingchuan: "What is the 'Xu Ling Shen Ge'?"

Honestly, it doesn't quite understand what a divine mandate is either. When the demons invaded the human realm, it was forced to sleep in the Flowing Light Secret Realm.

He Lingchuan knew its situation and quickly explained: "The divine mandate embodies the demons' understanding of law, thus being the source of their power and also its materialization."

The Earth Mother oh-ed: "Just like a demon pill."

Actually, it's also like its stone heart.

Seeing Wu Yao approach, it swung the stone chain and smashed it over, while also sending out several stone giants, flying to pounce on the demons.

Want to fight many with few? It disagrees!

Moreover, sending stone men and stone beasts to attack the demons won't incur backlash.

Hey, speaking of this, where did Guan Feng go?

The Earth Mother turned its head and saw Guan Feng standing behind the demons, couldn't help but roar angrily at it, pointing a finger.

Immediately, three or four stone beasts turned their heads and lunged at him.

Guan Feng shook his head, muttering: "Stupid is just stupid." With the stone heart in hand, no one can hurt him—how could this stone-headed blockhead not turn a corner, wasting effort uselessly?

He pinched a seal in his hand, secretly exerting force.

Besides contending with the Earth Mother for control of Jingdu City, he also wanted to take advantage of the Nine Abysses being entangled to prepare the next step of his action.

He Lingchuan also took a moment to glance at Guan Feng, confirming his position:

"Didn't you tell them, the Great Square Vase will henceforth be bound to Jingdu City, unable to be separated? You lot came down to the lower realm this time, unwittingly doing his wedding dress."

This remark was naturally directed at the demons.

Guan Feng sneered coldly: "You really underestimate yourself. Their interest in you is far greater than in the Great Square Vase!"

Jia Lou Tian let out a low chuckle: "This is true."

The true and false Earth Mothers can wait until after the battle to be dealt with; their current top priority is to kill the Nine Abysses!

He Lingchuan asked Guan Feng: "They originally didn't know of my arrival, yet prepared so many backup plans. You guess, who did they ultimately intend to deal with?"

Guan Feng sneered silently.

"After the ancient gods of the heavenly realm were overthrown by the Ling Xu Holy Sovereign leading the masses, Ling Xu Holy Sovereign obtained the Life Divine Mandate, Mi Tian obtained the Death Divine Mandate. I heard you, as one of the strongest true gods of the heavenly realm, also wanted to obtain the ancient gods' divine mandates, but have always been avoided by 'Fate,' unable to succeed. Unexpectedly, it was finally picked up by a lower-ranking minor god." He Lingchuan spoke while fighting, staring at Jia Lou Tian: "Clearly, 'Fate' does not favor you much."

What he most dreads is fighting the River Dragon beast head-on—this thing is not only powerful, its power is also very strange.

Furthermore, the four beasts' combat, coordinated as tightly as a single unit, focuses on finding gaps to insert needles, water cannot penetrate. Even with He Lingchuan's current spiritual agility, he still faces the dilemma of two fists unable to match eight hands.

So strong!

It's as if invisible puppet strings are tied behind them, all manipulated by the same person.

Hmm, the same person?

He Lingchuan's heart stirred.

"Ignorant child, I no longer need the Fate Divine Mandate! Heaven's way is constant, with order in seasons. If fate has a trajectory, then it is merely another kind of 'Xu Ling'; if fate has no trajectory, what use is the Fate Divine Mandate in your hand?" Saying this, Jia Lou Tian pointed at He Lingchuan's wrist, "This ring remains in its original form, showing you failed to make it reawaken—how could you be my opponent? Hah, after today, I will find it a better master."

He Lingchuan's gaze flickered slightly.

Truly worthy of being the second-in-command of the Lingxu crowd; he saw at a glance that He Lingchuan still hadn't been able to completely refine the Destiny Godhead.

More than ten years had passed since the Destiny Godhead gave him its first trial, yet the second trial had still not arrived.

As the current bearer of the Godhead, He Lingchuan could sense in the Miao Mingming that he was still lacking just a bit of opportunity.
