Chapter 2898: Collision of Two Divine Formats

These included, but were not limited to, the head of Bai Zhan Tian, the flesh and blood of the Goddess Feng He, and the remains of other Heavenly Demons who had perished on the battlefield.

These were not only his spoils, but also the gains of the other squad members. The Panlong Army had always maintained the tradition of taking trophies from enemies. Therefore, the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress temporarily possessed partial characteristics of several Heavenly Demons.

The toughness of Bai Zhan Tian's body naturally went without saying; he was, after all, the former War God of the Heavenly Realm, and even Pi Li Tian's Mandala Ring could not sever his body. However, the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress was ultimately not Bai Zhan Tian himself, so the defensive strength it could enhance was ultimately limited.

He Lingchuan fed the Heavenly Demon flesh and blood to the Abuser Brain Core; more importantly, he wanted to make the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress even more solid.

He had seen how Master Frostleaf used the Abuser Brain Core to contend against armies and Yuanli.

The strength of the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress depended largely on the quality of the food. After the Abuser Brain Core devoured powerful Heavenly Demons, its defensive power could rise several levels in a short time. Given that the Yuanli in Panlongcheng was already exhausted, this was the best method He Lingchuan could think of to temporarily intercept Pi Li Tian.

Pi Li Tian had just finished unleashing a Divine Art when a figure appeared behind him, raising a blade to swipe at the back of his neck.

It was precisely He Lingchuan, stepping out from within the wall in a single stride.

In the past, it was always Pi Li Tian who used Spatial Divine Arts to ambush others like this; now the tables had turned, and it was unexpectedly his turn to suffer a loss.

But he was indeed worthy of being the God of Space; the moment He Lingchuan's blade aura grazed him, he teleported two zhang away. Although he could not directly leave the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress, within this space he still had plenty of room to maneuver.

Simultaneously, the Mandala Ring returned to his hand.

Pi Li Tian gripped this treasure ring — also his own Divine Format — and shook it vigorously a few times.

A strange scene occurred: the mandala flower petals on the treasure ring were suddenly shaken off by him, flying in all directions. Some immediately stuck to the stone walls of the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress; others continued flying forward along the passages, exploring the shape of the entire underground palace.

This process was not short, and required Pi Li Tian to continuously guide it. He Lingchuan and the members of the assassination squad seized the opportunity to launch an attack at him.

Pi Li Tian felt pain at the back of his neck, with liquid flowing down. He didn't need to reach out to touch it to know he had just been wounded by Hu Yi's blade aura. No matter how tough this body was, it could not block Hu Yi's blade.

If his teleportation had been a split second slower at that time, he would have had his head severed like Bai Zhan Tian.

It is said a wounded tiger pounces most fiercely, even when exhausted. General Hu Yi was still no easy opponent.

Pi Li Tian flashed and moved within the limited space, narrowly avoiding the assassination squad's attacks several times.

In merely three to five exchanges, both sides had acquired quite a few new wounds.

Pi Li Tian's combat methods were elusive; various spatial severing arts came to him effortlessly. Logically speaking, he could toy with enemies in flashy ways — that was how he used to do it, and it was one of his few pleasures.

But inside the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress, his most adept Spatial Stagnation Art was not very effective.

The Flesh-and-Blood Fortress was He Lingchuan's territory; here, part of the laws were dictated by him. Pi Li Tian wanted to stagnate space, but he disagreed; the order of laws had priority, and Pi Li Tian had no way to forcefully reverse it.

Stagnation plus Severing was originally a combo. Now this CP was broken up, leaving only a Grand Severing Art, which the assassination squad found much less difficult to handle.

Furthermore, relying on home-field advantage, He Lingchuan also had an aura here that rivaled the opponent's Stagnation — the Gravity Domain!

The Gravity Domain was Tong Ming Zhenjun's signature ultimate skill. After the Abuser Brain Core ate his physical shell, it could also simulate it for a short time. Although the strength of the Gravity Domain inside the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress could not be adjusted, and He Lingchuan could absolutely not rapidly change rhythms like the original master to leave enemies at a loss — nevertheless —

For short-term engagement, this was enough.

As long as Pi Li Tian remained inside the Flesh-and-Blood Fortress, his body felt as if filled with lead; every movement was doubly strenuous, and dodging the opponents' divine abilities was even more arduous. Fortunately, his combat did not rely on fists, feet, or weapons; otherwise the impact would have been greater.

His teleportation was still a supreme divine skill here, but He Lingchuan had a way to break it:

The Fusheng Blade's Void Evasion Technique.

This divine weapon had a basic property: after being thrown by He Lingchuan, it would evade into the void, only reappearing in front of the enemy.

It truly verified that saying: the more basic, the greater the killing power.

Pi Li Tian was caught off guard and suffered two heavy losses in succession!

He could not intercept it after the Fusheng Blade evaded into the void, and was fully concentrated fighting the assassination squad; who knew that when the Fusheng Blade emerged from the void, it would appear precisely at the location he was teleporting to, resulting in him being pierced through the chest by this blade!

Divine blood splattered; Pi Li Tian let out a loud cry, pain beyond restraint.

Just a hair's breadth away from injuring his heart meridian.

Pi Li Tian was still reeling from shock; He Lingchuan secretly regretted the miss.

The Fusheng Blade routinely carried karma; the pain of it piercing him was like tender flesh thrown into a frying pan, intense and searing. Even a veteran expert like Pi Li Tian couldn't help but shudder all over, hurriedly teleporting several zhang away.

Only then did he realize that although he had the ability to teleport, his movement trajectory had been seen through by Hu Yi.

Yes, He Lingchuan, using the power of the Fate Divine Format, could simply predict the direction and landing point of his teleportation. "Red threads visible only to him" would point from Pi Li Tian's position before teleportation toward the direction of his manifestation.

Although this judgment was vague and imprecise, to He Lingchuan it was already a heaven-defying combat guide!

In increasingly profound and intense battles, his comprehension of the Fate Divine Format became increasingly refined, even allowing him to develop new usages.

Circling back, "prediction" was originally the inherent meaning of the Fate Divine Format.

After suffering one major loss, Pi Li Tian raised his vigilance to the utmost, and his combat speed also slowed down, which greatly reduced the offensive and defensive difficulty for the assassination squad.

The second time he was hit, it was because the Fusheng Blade attacked extremely insidiously from behind, directly stabbing into his waist!

Wounding the chest and injuring the kidneys — how, how unreasonable!

Pi Li Tian was simultaneously furious and frantic.

Hu Yi and a few mortals, relying on this unremarkable Flesh-and-Blood Fortress, had actually reversed the situation, even threatening the life of a Great Heavenly God!

Pi Li Tian's focus of action shifted from breaking the fortress as quickly as possible and attacking Panlongcheng, to simultaneously having to protect himself with all his strength; his efficiency immediately slowed down.

He did not know that He Lingchuan's inspiration for dealing with him actually originated from Bai Zhan Tian.

Although both were within the Lingxu Multitude, Bai Zhan Tian and Pi Li Tian did not get along in the past, and even had several major duels before invading the mortal world; the result was that Bai Zhan Tian won more than he lost — until this complete Divine Descent, the two giants still regarded each other with mutual disdain.
