Chapter 2809: No Top

Very awkward.

Baizhantian judged that the most appropriate means was to proceed steadily, but how could He Lingchuan give him that chance?

Only a few breaths later.

The light of the divine form grew weaker and weaker, as if foretelling that Baizhantian's life fire was slowly extinguishing. This bit of light shone on his face, still able to reflect his shock and anger.

The light on the axe blade also grew weaker and weaker. Finally, several resentful spirits broke through the range of the flying axe and lunged at Baizhantian.

Although Baizhantian crushed them with a backhand, his heart chilled considerably.

This indicated that the bottom line had been breached, utterly disastrous.

He could no longer hold out; his divine power had been exhausted.

Indeed, the rotation speed of the blood blade flying axe slowed more and more, and its chopping grew weaker and weaker, nothing like its initial ferocity.

If he could still draw even a bit of energy from the outside, from the battlefield, he would not have fallen into such a stifling and awkward predicament.

Finally, the light of the power divine form also extinguished, and those several spheres ceased their motion, falling into stillness.

Baizhantian recalled Hu Yi's earlier light few blades, after which his own divine form went awry. How was this done?

Even if the Lingxu Holy Venerable himself arrived, he could defeat Baizhantian, but could not so interfere with or obstruct His divine form.

Baizhantian, enraged, let out a roar: "What exactly did you do?"

On what grounds could this brat sever his mark and interfere with his divine form?

He wanted to seek aid from the Holy Venerable, but his thought could not be transmitted outward.

He Lingchuan coldly looked down upon him.

Before the karmic dark canopy expanded, he used an arc slash to sever the causal line between Baizhantian's divine form and his mark.

Thus, the vital energy of living beings absorbed by the three large orange marks on the battlefield could no longer be transmitted to Baizhantian's divine form, nor could it become a potent supplement for his subsequent combat.

Baizhantian grew stronger the more he fought, the myth of the battlefield Asura, was thus shattered.

However, He Lingchuan's act of severing the causal line was incomprehensible to others, including Baizhantian; these red lines were visible only to himself.

This is a divine form specialty derived from his comprehension of the fate law as the identity of the Nine Nether Great Emperor, unique and unparalleled. Even the Naraka Heaven in reality, or the ancient fate gods of long ago, never possessed such an innovation.

As the Red General once told him, the divine form reflects a god's unique understanding of the law. The same divine form in different hands will also develop different traits.

Now it is time to settle Baizhantian.

The divine form of the Great Heavenly Demon is not so easily disturbed; He Lingchuan appeared calm and light on the surface, but in truth his power was draining like a torrent—how could he fare better than Baizhantian?

He merely precisely grasped Baizhantian's vital point, causing his divine power to receive no replenishment, exhausting faster than He Lingchuan merely.

This obstruction could be severed at any moment. Once Baizhantian could again draw energy from the battlefield, the balance of strength would instantly reverse!

He Lingchuan's heart stirred, and the karmic torrent instantly rolled up a wave ten stories high, fiercely slapping toward Baizhantian.

No, this was no longer a wave, but a tsunami!

The blood blade flying axe had just cleaved several layers of wave spray when its own light dissipated.

Although they still flew around Baizhantian, they were no longer an all-directional, no-blind-spot slaughter of resentful spirits.

This time, fully over a hundred resentful spirits broke through the slaughter line of the blood blade flying axe, rushing to Baizhantian's side. He likewise raised both hands, drew two blades, and engaged the resentful spirits in close-quarters melee.

But the resentful spirits lunging at him grew ever more numerous; even if his combat skills were superb, immersed in this surging torrent, enemies surrounded him front, back, left, right, up, down—endless and boundless.

Baizhantian, no matter how brave, after swinging his axe several hundred times, ultimately succumbed to exhaustion.

Then two resentful spirits latched onto him, bared their claws and fangs, and fiercely gnawed at his flesh. Baizhantian let out an angry roar, tore them off, and crushed them.

But he could not stop himself from being struck by the next third, fourth…… thirtieth, fortieth resentful spirit.

Their bodies, as light as black smoke, once latched onto Baizhantian immediately weighed over a thousand jin, like piling one boulder after another upon him.

When Baizhantian bore forty or fifty resentful spirits, his movements remained fairly agile.

With two or three hundred latched on, he could still barely fight.

But when this number exceeded five hundred, every inch of his body was deathly gripped and gnawed by resentful spirits. When his hands were bound and he could no longer lift them, the surrounding resentful spirits surged madly, a flood submerging him.

How is this scene any different from being in purgatory?

Baizhantian roared to the heavens in unwilling anger. Before the black smoke veiled his eyes, the last thing he saw in the distance was the soaring giant serpent, and the figure that suddenly rose upon its serpent head.

Thereafter, he was completely dragged into the karmic torrent, ultimately meeting his demise.

……

Mingsha Forest battlefield, rear of the Bei Jia great camp.

From Gao Huaiyuan to each heavenly demon, they furrowed their brows analyzing the battle situation.

Just before Baizhantian and General Hu Yi clashed head-on, suddenly there was a blaze of light.

Everyone turned their heads together.

Then, the battlefield was enveloped by a whole mass of thick black fog that could not be dispelled.

Because everyone had first been dazzled by the "Sudden Radiance" divine power of Cangxi True Lord, so in fact no one saw how this mass of black fog arose. But its spread was not large, at most a few hundred square meters, exactly enough to envelop Baizhantian and General Hu Yi.

The soldiers on both sides fundamentally did not know what happened within the black smoke.

The present immortals and demons tried to extend their divine sense into it, but were blocked, unable to penetrate deeply.

Under the urging of the Bei Jia commanders, also two or three hundred Bei Jia soldiers gritted their teeth and charged into the dark canopy.

Of course, they all carried spirit talismans on their persons, which could immunize them against the influence of the Three Corpses Worms and suchlike ghouls and goblins.

But they had only rushed in for less than ten or so breaths when they howled and came running out.

Some gripped their weapons and chopped wildly at the nearby air—anyone who approached would be cut;

Some muttered incoherently, lost and disoriented;

Still others covered their heads and charged out, not caring if the enemy stood beside them, sitting down on the ground and bursting into tears.

It seemed as if all the myriad aspects of the human world had gathered here.

In short, the soldiers who charged into the black canopy came out shortly afterward, but not one could normally explain what had happened inside. Everyone looked on in astonishment: Bei Jia's spiritual power should easily handle ghouls and goblins, so why did these people come out as if possessed, a condition that could not be cured?

The other Beijia immortals and demons then released various divine powers toward the dark heavenly canopy, but they themselves had no intention of charging inside. The aura of karma made them fearful at the sight of it. Moreover, if Bai Zhan Tian, as a Great Heavenly God, encountered danger within the dark heavenly canopy, what use would it be for these ordinary heavenly gods to rush in?

But soon, immortals and demons received orders—orders from above. They could only grit their teeth and steel their resolve to charge into the dark heavenly canopy.
