Chapter 2913: At the End of Mountains and Rivers, Doubting There Is No Path

Panlong Secret Realm.

Ling Jinbao and Pao Chihai led three hundred garrison troops to charge out of the city, and under the cover of the stone giant army and the black dragon stone carvings, they resumed fighting the celestial demons.

Jia Lou Tian saw from the rear, not worried but delighted:

"Excellent, the secret realm can't hold on much longer."

These living people had previously shrunk behind the barrier and city walls; if it weren't for the barrier being unable to support them, how would they have come out?

In the past half-quarter-hour or so, the Order-Divine Seal had been continuously recharging, and Jia Lou Tian had also been growing stronger; by contrast, the Panlong Secret Realm, the black dragon stone carvings and stone giant army clearly lacked stamina, those stone figures were even more fragile, and under the celestial demons' attacks they couldn't hold out for long.

One wanes as the other waxes, the critical point is fast approaching.

Indeed, the Sea Dragon Barrier broke first. Jia Lou Tian was confident that even without using the Order-Divine Seal, he could destroy the Panlong Secret Realm within a quarter-hour!

As long as Jiuyou doesn't intervene.

"What use are you few shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Jia Lou Tian's mocking voice entered everyone's ears, "Where is Jiuyou, why do you only send them out to die?"

He was just casually joking, the words had barely left his mouth when he himself was startled awake.

The divine attendant also whispered from behind: "Your Majesty, Jiuyou may already be gravely wounded and unable to move."

Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare show his face?

Ling Jinbao sacrificed his flying sword to wound a celestial demon, and offhandedly retorted: "You lot can't even break the Sea Dragon Barrier after half a day, what qualifications do you have to fight the Emperor?"

The words had barely fallen when a flash of light suddenly appeared on the tall city wall behind everyone, followed immediately by a soft "pop" sound.

Like the sound of a soap bubble being punctured.

The celestial demons noticed the scenery around them had changed, no longer an endless plain, but the myriad strange architectural complexes on the Earth Mother Plain.

The Panlong city wall straight ahead still seemed to be that same wall, but it had become static.

The heavy weapons on the city wall were still there, but the heavy arrows and cannonballs were no longer infinite, they required manual loading. The archers were still stationed on the city gate, but everyone felt something was off.

The barrier on the wall had also disappeared. Just then, a celestial demon's divine technique blasted onto it, "bang", blasting out a large pit!

Most importantly, the black dragon stone carvings, the blue-faced great ghost, and the swarms of demon-devouring vines covering the ground—these main forces resisting the celestial demons—had all vanished in an instant.

Both sides were stunned for a moment.

The garrison troops were greatly alarmed, while the celestial demons were overjoyed.

The Panlong Secret Realm is breached!

Jia Lou Tian decided on the spot: "Seize the city, quickly!"

These few hundred people can't possibly stop them, whether we kill them or not is irrelevant now, the urgent priority is to first seize Panlong Ancient City!

Their three-year-planned sniper war had been forced into a stalemate, and the four great immortals had still been killed three by Jiuyou! If we can't even bring back the Earth Mother and the Great Square Vase, Jia Lou Tian doesn't know how he'll explain himself to the Lingxu Holy Venerable.

Deep down he still had a hidden worry: Jiuyou hasn't shown his face for a long time, is he hiding in the dark plotting some nasty trick?

This fellow has never played by common sense, he is Jia Lou Tian's most feared variable.

The secret realm is broken, the celestial demons can now unleash their full power, no longer bound by the secret realm's laws.

Seeing the celestial demons charging toward the city gate, Ling Jinbao shouted loudly:

"Block them!"

The fierce battle had already lasted all night, the divine abilities, formations, and summoned beings they could unleash had basically all been used up. Now Ling Jinbao could only throw out three newly repaired Jin Jia divine generals. They had been severely damaged in the previous celestial demon siege of the city, and had just been hastily repaired in the secret realm, unknown how long they could hold now.

But this didn't matter anymore, Ling Jinbao knew his sole mission was to buy time for the Earth Mother's escape.

Not only him, but the three hundred people behind him also had no trace of侥幸 left in their hearts.

Even the invincible myth of the Jiuyou Great Emperor had already collapsed, they no longer expected miracles to descend.

There would be no more.

As soon as the two sides clashed, even with the Jin Jia divine generals blocking the front, the garrison troops instantly collapsed in large numbers. The distance between celestial demons and humans was too vast, without the secret realm's protection, also without elemental power to rely on, celestial demons harvesting humans was like chopping vegetables and melons.

Just hold on for a few dozen more breaths would be good! Ling Jinbao gritted his teeth, but at this speed, he couldn't hold out!

Not to mention other Cangyan warriors, he himself was already exhausted of strength and energy.

A celestial demon unleashed a divine technique at him, he actually didn't dodge, was pierced through the shoulder by a long-eyebrow spike, and nailed to the city wall.

"Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!" he slapped the city wall with his backhand.

He knew the Earth Mother was also exhausted, dividing territory wasn't as easy as usual. But this was the last chance to escape, fleeting!

The words had barely fallen when the ground beneath both combatants suddenly shook violently, nearly making them unable to stand.

Plain earthquake!

Jia Lou Tian instinctively frowned.

Earlier their battle site had been the Panlong Secret Realm, where earthquakes were common, so it was no surprise, but why was the Earth Mother Plain also not exempt?

"Not good, they're trying to escape with the Great Square Vase!" but he, being a great celestial demon, instantly figured it out, "Quickly enter the city!"

These mortals know they must die yet still come out to block the way, mostly because they want to buy time for Jiuyou and the Earth Mother to escape with the Great Square Vase!

"Yes!" the celestial demons replied in unison, immediately three celestial demons unleashed divine techniques, one step flashing to behind the garrison troops, then running up along the city wall.

This was not the secret realm city, the wall surface had no defensive formations nor gate-guarding beasts causing trouble, they trod on flat ground, almost in the blink of an eye they climbed to the top of the wall.

Ling Jinbao had just pulled out the long-eyebrow spike from his shoulder, saw all this, furious but powerless—ground assault had also arrived, they could barely protect themselves, had no spare hands.

Mountains exhausted, waters drained!

At this moment, the Panlong city wall suddenly rose up, accompanied by a booming rumble, continuously growing upward!

No, not right, earlier the earthquake was due to stratum fracture, this time it was the sudden uplift of the tectonic plate beneath Panlongcheng.

Everyone was greatly startled.

The celestial demon who had been entangled with Ling Jinbao happened to step on empty air, was kicked down by him, falling into the rolling red mist.

Somehow, he actually didn't come back up.

After about ten or more breaths, the tectonic movement finally stopped.

But due to the large amount of earth and rock blocks rubbing and fracturing, it caused dark red dust smoke to spread, filling the sky and covering the earth!

Ling Jinbao and the others were blocking the city gate, so they were lifted upward along with Panlongcheng by the boundless power. They watched helplessly as they and their mortal enemies grew farther apart, with not only a difference of tens of zhang in elevation between them, but even a heavenly chasm five zhang wide appearing due to the rupture of the rock strata.

"Well done!" Ling Jinbao panted, fiercely praising the Earth Mother, "Hurry, take Panlongcheng and flee quickly!"

In his opinion, it must have been the Earth Mother who acted to sever Panlong Ancient City from the mainland plain, causing such a great commotion. Otherwise, who else would possess such immense power to destroy the Earth Mother Plain?

This matter was handled truly splendidly.

But he hadn't expected that he too would be taken along. He had already prepared himself to fight to the death.

But Jia Lou Tian lies ahead, and if the Earth Mother's movement is not swift enough, they will be overtaken by the heavenly demons.

The little stone figure emerged from the ground beside his feet, shaking its head vigorously: "Not me!"
