Chapter 2488

He is the Great Emperor of the Nine Abysses, holding the fate of billions of beings in his hands—truly, one thought decides the lives of ten thousand, another thought decides their deaths! On what basis does the Fate Divinity think he should not undergo a second trial?

He Lingchuan did not answer Jia Lou Tian, but instead softly instructed the Earth Mother:

"It is the second-in-command among the Spirits of the Void Gods, also called the 'God of Order.' Its core power likely comes from the Sequence Command Divinity on its neck!"

Jia Lou Tian could not find the ancient god's divinity, but relying on his deep understanding of primordial power, he likewise created a unique divinity, called 'Sequence Command.'

In fact, the divinities formed by different heavenly demons may be similar. As far as He Lingchuan knows, the celestial realm has at least three 'Life Divinities'; besides the Holy Lord of the Void, there are also two other heavenly demons whose divine arts originate from the power of life. Only individuals' understanding of power differs, so even similar divinities have different powers.

But the 'Sequence Command' divinity, or rather the 'Order' divinity, exists only once in the celestial realm—there is no substitute.

This shows that the understanding of 'Order' is so abstract that even heavenly demons find it elusive.

Jia Lou Tian himself lives in seclusion, rarely appearing, making him an extremely mysterious powerhouse. The Lingshan's description of him is sparse, only saying he excels in divine arts related to 'Order,' capable of unleashing peerless destructive force in an instant, which is why in the ancient Immortal-Demon War he achieved the glorious feat of slaying three major sect True Immortals and countless immortals, even wounding the Shou'an Immortal—though the cost was that he himself suffered heavy injuries and withdrew from the battlefield early.

Otherwise, he would have slain even more immortals in the Immortal-Demon War.

He Lingchuan naturally also exhausted all means to gather intelligence on Jia Lou Tian. But heavenly demons born after the Immortal-Demon War have hardly ever seen him. Only after Miao Zhantian fell did Jia Lou Tian, at the request of the Holy Lord of the Void, have to come out to handle Void affairs.

Thus, before today's battle, He Lingchuan only knew that Jia Lou Tian's divine arts must certainly be related to 'Sequence.'

This is vastly different from Miao Zhantian's 'True' divinity.

The True Divinity is very concrete, while 'Sequence'—what is it? This concept is too abstract.

Yet Jia Lou Tian is a major figure capable of slaying True Immortals, and Lingshan intelligence also said he can cause super-destructive damage in an extremely short time, once reducing a True Immortal to dust in an instant!

That's a True Immortal—the pinnacle of mortal combat power!

He Lingchuan personally witnessed the abilities of the Great True Immortal Qianhuan True Person, and hearing this intelligence made him find it even more unbelievable.

So upon hearing Jia Lou Tian's name, He Lingchuan immediately went on high alert.

"Hey, facing Jia Lou Tian now? Not good." The Blood Demon whispered in He Lingchuan's ear, worried.

It had been suppressed by Qianhuan for two thousand years, and yet this guy can instantly kill a True Immortal?

Uh, is it too late for it to quit and run away now?

He Lingchuan said softly: "What's there to fear? Haven't you seen it wounded by the Earth Mother's avatar?"

The Dragon River Horned Beast possessed by Jia Lou Tian, after being battered by the Earth Mother's avatar's storm and rain, was no longer in human form—uh, beast form—and had lost over a dozen teeth; if not for its extraordinarily strong impact resistance, it would already be a pile of minced meat on the ground.

This also reminded He Lingchuan that the one before him was not the true Jia Lou Tian!

How could a single Horned Beast possibly bear the full divine descent of such a great heavenly god as Jia Lou Tian?

"Makes sense!" The Blood Demon, ever sharp, suddenly understood upon his remark and also relaxed.

Yeah, the one who came wasn't Jia Lou Tian's true self!

But that gray-white Horned Beast lunged straight onto the Dragon River Horned Beast, merging with it, causing the latter's wounds to heal at a visible speed—even the severely injured left shoulder and lower ribs quickly swelled back.

After a few more breaths, the gray-white Horned Beast separated again from the Dragon River Horned Beast, its size shrinking by a full circle.

The Blood Demon realized: "Oh my, this guy is actually the medicine himself—and a fast-acting one at that."

The gray-white Horned Beast was using its own flesh and blood to heal its companion's wounds, and it took effect in an extremely short time.

At this moment, the green-haired Horned Beast's light ring shone again, and He Lingchuan, caught between Jia Lou Tian and the Twin-Blade Horned Beast, couldn't dodge in time. The Blood Demon instantly turned into a blood mist to block the light ring for him.

The light struck the blood mist, and the vapor instantly solidified, no longer spreading.

Not far away, Wu Yao seized the opportunity, swung his hand, and launched ten blue ice cones, which whistled through the blood mist and pierced toward He Lingchuan.

The Blood Demon let out a miserable howl.

The ice cones were coated with soul poison, harmful to both humans and ghosts.

Famous artifacts and ghostly entities beside the Nine Abyss Great Emperor have long been studied by heavenly demons. The Blood Demon was also a key focus, deemed by heavenly demons as the culmination of soul resentment.

Fortunately, the Blood Demon has followed the Nine Abyss Great Emperor these years, his cultivation increased significantly; though struck by the ice cones and in agony, he could still howl.

But just as Wu Yao lowered his hand, two stone lions lunged from behind.

The stone beasts released by the Earth Mother were far stronger than her brothers' ice monsters, whether in strength or hardness. Moreover, the enraged Earth Mother kept dispatching avatars and stone beasts here, aiming to keep other heavenly demons occupied so they couldn't deal with He Lingchuan.

Wu Yao turned his head, shouting at Guan Biao: "Attack! Why are you still dodging and weaving?"

Earlier in the beehive cave, hadn't the two sides agreed? Heavenly demons would deal with the Nine Abyss, while this guy would focus entirely on holding back the other big one.

Even if the Earth Mother were sealed in Lei Chi, heavenly demons still thought she was truly difficult to handle.

By her own power, the Earth Mother had blocked three heavenly demons from attacking He Lingchuan. If they could isolate her, with just the three of them plus Jia Lou Tian's power, capturing the Nine Abyss Great Emperor would not be difficult.

Jia Lou Tian's lord's killing move had not yet been used, and Wu Yao felt confident.

But before that thought was finished, three stone beasts knocked down a heavenly demon, instantly tearing its flesh bag to shreds. A hint of green light emerged from the flesh and flew toward Guan Biao.

What this heavenly demon descended as was merely an avatar; with the flesh bag destroyed, the avatar still had a chance to return to the celestial realm.

However, stripped of the flesh bag's protection, the heavenly demon avatar instantly suffered merciless strikes from Lei Ting, taking three or four lightning bolts within ten breaths—so much that even He Lingchuan saw it beginning to emit green smoke.

Wu Yao immediately shouted at Guan Biao: "Let him go, quick!"

Can't let him go, inconvenient. Do these heavenly demons treat his void as a tourist spot, coming and going as they please? But Guan Biao, after straining his incantation for half a day, couldn't speak, only rolled his eyes, then slapped the ground with a palm and lowly shouted:

"Descend!"

In an instant, the sky blazed as bright as daytime, with hundreds of Lei Ting striking simultaneously, slamming into the Earth Mother.

While injuring her, it also caused the water level of Lei Chi to rise rapidly!

The water of Lei Chi was originally liquid Lei Ting.

At the same time, four or five stone chains protruded from the pool, tightly binding the Earth Mother, then violently dragging her downward!

The Earth Mother seemed to stand in mire, and indeed began to sink.

"The pool bottom has softened!" she shouted at He Lingchuan, "Guan Biao wants to drag me to the bottom of the pool!"
