Chapter 2860: Law Confrontation

But how is this thing supposed to be gotten out? It seems to already be deeply embedded in the city gate.

"Let me try." Ling Jinbao fished out a few walnuts from his bosom, rubbed them a few times in his palm, blew a breath on them, and said, "Go."

He threw the walnuts at the city gate; these things turned into palm-sized woodpeckers in midair, swiftly landing on the wooden door, aiming at the position of the triangular mark, and went *thunk thunk thunk* in a burst of fierce pecking.

The speed and frequency of woodpeckers pecking wood are well known. These are wood-element seeds cultivated by Qing Shu during his lifetime.

Their sharp beaks can easily break open the hard shells of seabed wood, but placed on the Secret Realm's main gate, they simply cannot take effect no matter what; they pecked for a long while yet didn't even knock off a shred of bark, only making noise.

After all, these are fortifications that can block Heavenly Demons and Great Heavenly Demons; ordinary immortals' methods cannot affect them in the slightest. But being this sturdy also has a drawback: the thing the Heavenly Demons embedded inside, others also cannot pull out.

Ling Jinbao was frantic with worry, but had not a single solution.

The Emperor forcibly poured all of the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl's power into the Coiling Longcheng walls — that is to say, the Coiling Longcheng's south gate thereby became the foundation of the Secret Realm's existence. And Jialou Tian's action is actually destroying the Secret Realm's rules.

The strong set rules; the stronger break rules.

As the Number Two Great Heavenly Demon, how could Jialou Tian be willing to abide by the Secret Realm's rules? He uses his Sequence Deity Authority to oppose the Secret Realm's cornerstone, interferes with the Secret Realm's laws with his own power alone — precisely wanting to break the foundation of the Coiling Dragon Secret Realm's existence.

The Secret Realm's laws naturally favor its own people and restrict outsiders. For example, flight is not allowed here; for example, the humans on the gate tower are protected by the city wall's barrier, and immortals' and demons' divine abilities and arts cannot hit them, and so on.

As long as these rules are broken, the Heavenly Demons' battle can truly unfold without restraint, displaying world-destroying power!

And down below the city, the battle between Jialou Tian and the Earth Mother has moreover entered a white-hot state in a single second. Since he knows the situation has changed, the Secret Realm battle must seize every minute and second; Jialou Tian holds back no longer.

Before the Green Qi God was bitten to death by the Black Dragon Stone Carving, he once shot an arrow at the Earth Mother's back.

His archery is truly remarkable; the Earth Mother was going all out dealing with Jialou Tian, and was struck by that arrow in the back. Consequently, the stone skin of her entire back rippled and trembled like waves. This kind of tremor especially undermines the Earth Mother's control over herself; Jialou Tian's one offensive strike couldn't be dodged, and her right arm was directly shattered.

You must know, while battling the Earth Mother, Jialou Tian's Sequence Deity Authority's charge speed was getting faster and faster; after smashing the Earth Mother's arm, he seized the momentum and erupted, delivering ten consecutive heavy hammer blows!

Those were heavy strikes that made the entire Secret Realm tremble!

The ferocity of the power instantly exploded by the Sequence Deity Authority, even the Earth Mother could not withstand it; she barely blocked seven blows before her form nearly collapsed.

By the time Jialou Tian unleashed the ninth blow, the Earth Mother could no longer catch it. The hammer head struck her chest, blasting her into a sky full of shattered stone!

This scene shocked the soldiers on the gate tower into momentary loss of voice; the originally dense arrows and cannons shooting downward all paused.

The Earth Mother actually lost!

Especially the garrison long stationed on the plains, they have deep experience of the Earth Mother's invincible might.

She carries the Baili mountains and rivers on her back; her power is practically inexhaustible!

Humans simply cannot imagine that one so powerful would also be defeated.

He Yue's face also turned pale; Bao Chihai only froze for two breaths before urgently saying, "The Earth Mother is not at her peak! And this is the Emperor's Secret Realm, not the Earth Mother's plains; she cannot endlessly draw power from the earth!"

Although this Secret Realm is located atop the plains, it is itself independent. The Earth Mother's avatar entered to fight, and is not as free as on her own turf; at the very least she cannot replenish energy at any time.

But even so, this scene is thoroughly shocking.

The Earth Mother dissipated; the greatest obstacle before Jialou Tian was temporarily cleared. Where would he still be polite? In one step he shifted to beneath the gate tower, and three consecutive heavy hammers, solid and real, all smashed onto the door!

The Black Dragon Stone Carving and the Green-Faced Great Ghost both rushed over. Since they are called city-guarding beasts, they naturally cannot allow Jialou Tian to smash the door.

But Jialou Tian snapped his fingers, and the triangular marks behind Geng Yue God and Wu Qing God instantly rotated!

The two great subordinate gods' divine power surged.

They both obtained a massive boost from Jialou Tian's Deity Authority power; for a time they could block the Black Dragon Stone Carving and Green-Faced Great Ghost's furious attacks.

Removing these distractions, Jialou Tian can attack the city gate with full force.

This thing's hardness truly exceeds his expectations, actually able to withstand the Sequence Deity Authority's high burst. Historically, Coiling Longcheng absolutely could not have had such a sturdy gate; otherwise it would not have been breached and destroyed back then.

But it doesn't matter; the triangle embedded in the city gate has already fed back an important message to him:

The energy supporting this Secret Realm, and the city wall's recovery speed, are both rapidly declining!

As long as Jialou Tian maintains this attack intensity, it won't last much longer.

Even more interestingly, once Jialou Tian's Sequence Deity Authority starts operating, it will only grow stronger and stronger in a short time. That is to say —

The Coiling Dragon Secret Realm being broken through is already right before our eyes!

Others trapped in a Secret Realm all try every means to find a way out; only Jialou Tian, relying on his own incomparably powerful divine power, wants to forcibly break the Secret Realm itself!

One force subdues ten methods.

He precisely wants to use the most overbearing, most unreasonable way to harshly teach the Nine Nether a lesson, then kill all the humans here!

Before he could even smash the fourth hammer, a sixth Black Dragon Stone Carving emerged from the city gate, pouncing on him without a word.

The city wall's corner towers also again tumbled down a pile of large rocks; the largest piece was precisely the Earth Mother's avatar, smashing straight down at his head!

Just as Ling Jinbao said, the Earth Mother's avatar in the Coiling Dragon Secret Realm cannot obtain the main body's replenishment. After being smashed to pieces, the Earth Mother still has to send new avatars into the Secret Realm to stop Jialou Tian's destruction of the city gate.

The reason they aren't sent in two at once is because of a cruel fact:

This has also reached the Earth Mother's limit.

Don't forget, she is splitting her power in two places: this side hindering Jialou Tian from destroying the Secret Realm's main gate, that side still helping He Lingchuan deal with Tong Ming True Lord.

Just now when He Lingchuan killed the Hundred Battles Heaven, the Earth Mother, as the local power, also contributed no small effort.

Even with a body full of divine ability, who can endure a Great Heavenly Demon's disguised wheel-battle tactics?

So she is already extremely exhausted, from body to divine soul.

At such a time, having to face a Great Heavenly Demon like Jialou Tian is truly too much to ask of her.

After several tens of breaths, the Earth Mother's avatar was smashed to pieces again; closely following, the Black Dragon Stone Carving also had its head blown apart by one hammer.

New stone carvings' generation needs time; it cannot be achieved overnight.

The Earth Mother will still send new avatars into the Secret Realm, but the interval is longer than last time.

Thus repeating three times.
