Chapter 2788

This is not only because the Earth Mother's clone has endless attacks, but also thanks to the allied forces of Cangyan and Shen State—although facing countless immortals and demons, the soldiers can no longer easily sortie from the city, yet they can still operate the armaments atop the city gates, venting their fury and hatred upon the immortals and demons opposite.

Back in the Old Panlong Secret Realm, He Lingchuan himself had used the armaments on the city walls to attack Sun Fuping, as well as the heavenly demon that had descended upon Nian Songyu, and thus he knew well the power of such armaments.

The armaments now equipped in the Panlong Secret Realm are no longer the old-style ones used in Panlongcheng two hundred years ago, but the latest heavy armaments developed by Cangyan—diverse in type and specially adapted to the current spiritual energy environment.

He Lingchuan frequently brings the latest results here for modification, and thus in terms of speed, rate of fire, handling flexibility, strike coverage, and most importantly destructive power, he has left the old armaments of Panlongcheng far behind—so far that one cannot even touch their edge.

There are eleven types of armaments here: the light, agile ones can be operated by just one or two people, while the heavy ones, though powerful, require only three or four—enough for siege crossbows, armor-piercing crossbows, and shell tubes.

Among the heavenly demons present today, there is also one Yingyou Shen possessing the "Rebound" talent, able to concentrate and reflect back attacks received over a period of time—that is, to return the opponent's own method against them. If used against other foes, this would be an incredibly formidable skill, so much so that even Jia Lou Tian would have to respond cautiously, but when employed against the heavy armaments of the Panlong Secret Realm, the effect turns out to be poor.

This is because the heavy armaments of the Panlong Secret Realm mainly use explosive shells that detonate on impact, and only strong crossbow bolts can be reflected back—but these bolts themselves are infused with elemental power, which has a restraining effect on the heavenly demons' divine arts. Yingyou Shen had intended to use Panlongcheng's own heavy armaments to blast itself, but the rebounding crossbow arrows, whether in range or power, fall short of expectations; on the contrary, the divine arts unleashed by the immortals and cultivators on the wall tops are prone to backfire under this rebound talent.

In such a fierce barrage of artillery, the Yinling Divine Generals stand before the heavenly demons, bearing tremendous impact and suffering sharp losses in number. Yet the remaining few Yinling Divine Generals repeatedly absorb their fallen comrades, and the Jia Lou Tian mark on their backs emits a blazing light, with the outer large triangle already trending toward stagnation.

At this moment, Jia Lou Tian points toward the southern gate of the city and says: "Go!"

These five Yinling Divine Generals are all over three zhang tall, the largest exceeding seven zhang—nearly matching the height of the Azure Giant Demon. Upon receiving the order, they surge forward in a fierce charge, directly colliding with the stone men and stone beasts rushing ahead, sending them flying, and in an instant closing in on the city gate.

The Azure Giant Demon steps forward to meet them, but is blocked by two Yinling Divine Generals. Both sides are massive beings, instantly entangled, clashing with loud booms.

The other two Yinling Divine Generals rush straight toward the dragon god statue. The black stone dragon's forehalf extends to engage in combat, while only a small lower section remains buried in the city wall.

Finally, the largest of the Yinling Divine Generals reaches beneath the city gate, raises its pair of fists—each larger than a round table for ten people—and fiercely bombards the great gate of Panlongcheng.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everyone on the city wall feels the tremor of the fortifications. The soldiers atop the wall are greatly alarmed, all taking aim and loosing arrows at it. Yet alas, the Yinling Divine General's shell is too thick; even if the soldiers' arrows are infused with elemental power, they can only shatter the outer layer, unable to pierce its body.

Xianren Mengke draws her divine sword, points at the colossal figure below, and shouts: "Slash!"

The sword circles once in midair, and as it descends, it has already transformed into a giant blade ten zhang long. Its surface glows with brilliant azure light, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.

This is the heavy treasure inherited by Xianren Mengke from her sect, which she has nurtured painstakingly with her heart's blood for many years, giving it tremendous power. Earlier, when Bai Zhan Tian pursued the crowd, he too unleashed the Wind and Thunder Sword, aiding Ling Jinbao's retreat.

During its descent, the sword grows ever fiercer, the Lei She light pearls along its blade already formed, poised to test against the Yinling Divine General. Meanwhile, the divine seal on its back—the outer large triangle—has not only stagnated but begun to rotate in reverse, clashing with the inner circle.

Jia Lou Tian seizes the moment, snaps his fingers sharply, and softly utters a single word:

"Break."

The large triangles on the backs of the five Yinling Divine Generals shatter in response.

They erupt in white light, their forms, strength, and agility suddenly surging!

The Azure-Faced Demon is caught off guard, instantly kicked flying by the opponent's suddenly increased power onto the wall of Panlongcheng, with a loud bang carving a two-chi-deep dent, surrounded by numerous spiderweb-like cracks, two of which extend straight up to the walltop.

The crystal shields on the arms of the other two Yinling Divine Generals suddenly thicken, their surfaces protruding with spike-like thorns; the black stone dragon statue is then struck by their raised shields, its lower jaw shattered, and its foreclaws damaged as well. It lets out an angry roar, then suddenly shrinks back against the wall base.

Before anyone can comprehend what is happening, another black dragon statue has already charged forward, taking its place.

These two Yu Ling Divine Generals continue their fierce assault.

And the one that has become the strongest is the Yinling Divine General beneath the city gate. Its height suddenly surges another two zhang; the divine sword that Xianren Mengke had originally aimed at its back heart now strikes its lumbar vertebrae.

It reaches back with one hand and actually catches the divine sword barehanded. The Lei Ting on the sword's blade spreads throughout the Yinling Divine General's body, and for a moment, blue-white lightning flashes and crackles.

Were it any other immortal or demon, forcibly enduring this blow would surely result in severe injury.

Yet this Yinling Divine General's entire body hisses and crackles, like red-hot stone splashed with hot water, yet this does not hinder its movement in the slightest.

He Yue on the city wall senses something amiss and points at it.

He and his personal guards, who control the Earth Mother stone puppets, are also active on the battlefield; at this moment, ignoring other enemies, he leaps a great distance straight toward the Yinling Divine General. Who would have thought the Yinling Divine General would seize its arm with one hand, swing it up, and smash it hard against the wall, then free that hand to grab the sword hilt and wrench it outward—

With a "Crack!", the divine sword breaks. The sharp lament of the blade echoes both above and below the city.

Xianren Mengke on the city wall instantly clutches her chest and spits out a mouthful of blood—

Her natal artifact is damaged, and she too suffers a hidden wound.

The Yinling Divine General hurls the broken divine sword to the ground, then shatters the second stone puppet, raises its great hammer, and continues to fiercely pound the city gate.

After the outer large triangle of Jia Lou Tian's Seal-Order Divine Seal shatters, it bestows upon all Yinling Divine Generals an explosive surge of power. And at this very moment, the Yinling Divine Generals are no mere ordinary constructs, but have inherited part of Jia Lou Tian's power, becoming one of his major avatars.

From this perspective, Jia Lou Tian has already made his move.

Ling Jinbao bursts out with a vulgar expletive. If only the Earth Mother's true form were still present—it would surpass even the current explosive power, for the Earth Mother has never feared anyone.

Amidst the chaos on the battlefield, another batch of black moth insects from the Wei Jia God Nation surges forward. Since the black dragon statue is occupied with the Yinling Divine General and has no time to breathe fire, this wave sees hundreds of black moth insects directly lunging onto the wall, scrambling upward with great speed.
