Chapter 2596

Ruilin was subdued!

Then the divine avatar of Helo Tian is safe.

Before the immortals and demons could even catch their breath, a ghostly figure appeared on the stone giant's shoulder.

It merely flickered past—even the Wuyu Immortal Maiden didn't see it clearly, only knowing that a force of ten thousand jun of Lei Ting suddenly appeared before her eyes!

Lightning has always been the most dazzling light in this world, let alone when thousands of bolts suddenly erupt in darkness; even with the keenest eyesight, the immortals and demons could only see a screen full of flashing electric light in that instant.

In fact, a long spear shot down from the stone giant's shoulder, the lightning coiled around it becoming denser and more solid, finally condensing into a terrifying giant spear tip!

As for the shadow behind the spear, it became invisible under the dazzling bright light.

This spear is truly called the Divine Brushstroke, perfectly timed at the moment when the stone giant strained Ruilin without success, and the latter barely stabilized his form.

Finishing blow!

The celestial demons on either side of Helo Tian's avatar are his attendant gods; at this moment they had no time to think, stirring their divine power throughout their bodies and rushing fiercely toward him.

One of them even summoned a giant square seal, blocking directly in front of the spear tip.

This was hastily formed—it is the divine manifestation he created, called the Wu Xiang Seal, possessing the trait of growing stronger against stronger opponents.

Compared to human shield-type magical artifacts, its toughness is unknown how many times greater.

As soon as the square seal materialized, the spear tip pierced into it, and then—

Even the immortals and demons in the rear didn't see it clearly before the Wu Xiang Seal exploded!

This spear tip, containing supreme Lei Ting power, didn't lose even a bit of speed or force, and continued to pierce through two more celestial demons, stabbing into Ruilin's abdomen.

Repairing any divine body injury requires time, but the opponent certainly didn't want to let it recover leisurely.

It is the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

As the target of a sneak attack, Ruilin was finally shattered on the spot, his phantom instantly exploding!

The offensive and defensive alliance formed by Muhe Shen using the Heart-Uniting Pearls had not yet faced a strong enemy head-on when this flying spear shattered it to pieces.

The Heart-Uniting Pearls shattered on the spot, and Muhe Shen himself bore the brunt of the backlash, plummeting headfirst from the air!

The shockwave from Ruilin's explosion was immense, also shaking loose the immortals and demons originally wrapped around him.

Even the Wuyu Immortal Maiden couldn't steady herself, being blown back ten zhang in succession.

Her eyes were filled with utter shock:

What's going on? Who fired that thunder-rushing spear? How powerful!

She has witnessed true immortals in action, and can confidently say that the ferocity of that moment was unmatched, already approaching true immortal level!

In this unknown Secret Realm, could there actually be a true immortal hiding?

Thinking this, the Wuyu Immortal Maiden felt numbness spread across her back. But when she looked toward the stone giant's shoulder, it was already empty again.

That person's departure was just as elusive as their appearance.

However, before Ruilin exploded, she had just placed a Frozen Ice Boundary on Helo Tian's soul, so he wouldn't be so fragile.

When she looked up again, she happened to see Helo Tian's avatar being blasted toward the high wall.

Lingyun Xianjun was also nearby; at the moment of the explosion, he shook his duster forward, trying to reel Helo Tian back in.

Along with him, three or four celestial demons also reached out to rescue Helo Tian's soul.

This wall appeared too abruptly—everyone knew it was no toy. When Helo Tian's soul slammed into it, what good result could there be?

Just as the stone giant moved aside, everyone discovered the high wall still had a magnificent gate tower—

This is a city wall!

Beyond this wall lies the city.

When the immortals and demons of Lingyun Palace followed Helo Tian here, they circled the island in the sky for several rounds, yet saw nothing of this high wall, let alone the city behind it!

Clearly, this is something that exists only within the Secret Realm.

Lingyun Xianjun's reaction speed is certainly not slow; despite being bounced back himself, his duster was almost wrapped around Helo Tian, but at this very moment, the high wall ahead suddenly moved.

The ancient, sturdy wall bulged outward, and something charged out from it.

A colossal dragon head.

It appeared at the perfect moment, as if Helo Tian had deliberately sent himself to its maw. The dragon opened its huge mouth and swallowed him.

Helo Tian's avatar was suddenly gulped down by the dragon's head! To the immortals and demons, this was truly beyond all expectation.

Lingyun Xianjun's duster followed closely, sweeping over the dragon's mouth, but ultimately was half a beat too slow, failing to snatch back Helo Tian's divine avatar.

Even the Wuyu Immortal Maiden saw the dragon make a swallowing motion, seemingly intending to gulp down Helo Tian's avatar. She shouted angrily, her ice blade slicing toward its neck, hoping to cut the dragon's throat and rescue Helo Tian.

But a dragon claw shot out from within the wall, violently knocking the ice blade away.

The Wuyu Immortal Maiden's treasure blade can freeze its target, but the dragon claw it struck bore not a trace of Bai Shuang.

Attacks from other immortals and demons came in waves, exploding in a tremendous frenzy upon the city wall.

However, it was too late.

The dragon head retracted backward, directly shrinking back into the wall.

The immortals and demons' attacks only grazed a bit of its edge, while the rest slammed into the wall.

The city wall was blasted into a large depression, but the dragon head vanished without a trace, taking Helo Tian with it—his whereabouts unknown.

"Disaster!" Even an experienced immortal like the Wuyu Immortal Maiden momentarily didn't know what to do.

"Never mind—we just need to drag out the mastermind!" Another celestial demon, Geng Yue, quickly interjected, "Helo Tian's avatar will choose self-detonation at the right time; Lingshan cannot control Yun Tai!"

Once Helo Tian's avatar discovers it cannot escape danger and threatens Lingyun Palace, it will choose self-destruction. Lingyun Palace's Yun Tai only needs to endure a brief vacuum period, after which Helo Tian's true form will descend a new avatar.

Although this causes great loss to him, protecting Lingyun Palace and Yin Shenjun's safety is the top priority for all celestial demons now, and Helo Tian cannot defy Ling Xu Shengzun.

Moreover, this is also a backup plan long prepared by the celestial demons.

In short, the purpose of Helo Tian's avatar is to lead the immortals and demons to find Lingshan's forces, thereby removing the threat to Lingyun Palace.

As long as they can be found, this kind of loss is acceptable.

The auspicious qilin has been shattered, cracks appearing on the Heart-Unity Pearl, while the one controlling it, Muhe Shen, still lies on the ground unable to rise, clinging to life by a thread.

Know that He is a complete divine descent. When Hulu Heaven arranged the divine descent plan, they assigned the precious, fully embodied divine descent vessel to Him, hoping He would exert powerful defensive and integrative capabilities.

Muhe Shen's excellence lies not in its own attack power, but in its ability to coordinate other strong allies, gathering our side's strength together.

By rights, no matter what opponents everyone encounters upon entering, the auspicious qilin should be able to unleash more than a hundred percent of its power.

Who would have thought that the auspicious qilin hadn't even managed to organize a powerful counterattack before we ourselves were ambushed and slain?

In the camp of Ling Mountain, there actually exists such a powerful one!

Immortal Maiden Wuyu gritted her teeth and said: "The one who shattered the auspicious qilin might be of true immortal level!"

"Impossible!" Geng Yue immediately retorted, not allowing her to shake morale, "If it were a true immortal, they would have directly struck to annihilate us—why bother playing hide-and-seek with us?"
