Chapter 2924: Who Let You Offend

Among the heroes of the world, as numerous as carp crossing a river, in chaotic times they fall like grass under the scythe; in the thousand years before the appearance of the Great Emperor of the Nine Abysses, those with lofty ambitions and flashing gold were as numerous as ox hairs—but who truly accomplished the great work of bringing order from chaos for a thousand autumns?

Not a single one.

The success rate is zero.

How could Jia Lou Tian not understand this principle? It's just that his previous battle with the Red General had reached a dead end, leaving him no choice but to go all-in, gambling on that one-in-a-million chance!

In such a battle, the strong can advance steadily, while the weaker side can only wander and take risks.

Had it been twelve hours earlier, Jia Lou Tian would never have imagined that he would be counted among the "weak."

He couldn't help but self-mock: "What exactly…… is missing?"

"You're just lacking a bit of luck." The Red General's voice carried a hint of teasing, "Who let you offend 'Fate'?"

Jia Lou Tian gave a bitter smile. Indeed, it seems I'm just lacking…… luck?

But before this smile could fade, the vitality in his eyes was snuffed out.

A streak of green light flew from his seven orifices; the Red General lightly raised his spear tip and scattered it.

The second most prominent figure of the Ling Xu Zhong, the righteous god Jia Lou Tian who had established mighty prestige in both the Holy God War and the Ancient War, thus fell!

Time seemed frozen at this historic instant; the entire battlefield fell so silent you could hear a needle drop.

Bai Tian Fu Zhu executed!

Tong Ming Zhen Jun executed!

Hai Huang Xuan Du executed!

Now, even Jia Lou Tian has lost his life beneath the Red General's spear!

The Ling Xu Zhong's invasion of the Earth Mother Plains, slaying the Great Emperor of the Nine Abysses, and seizing the Great Square Vase—this plan has failed utterly and completely!

This crushing defeat declares that the Ling Xu Holy Venerable can now rest easy in his heart.

The Cang Yan people fell silent, birds and sparrows making no sound, momentarily unable to believe it;

The remaining demons, like those bereaved of parents, lost even their will to fight;

Only the Pan Long Army raised their halberds to the heavens, shouting with thunderous joy!

Revenge! They have crossed the torrent of time and space, taking the first step toward revenge against the demons—a step of unparalleled firmness!

Ling Jin Bao stammered "this this" for a long time, so excited he couldn't form a complete sentence, only two tears streaming down.

The Earth Mother Plains are unharmed, Pan Long City has returned to the mortal realm, and the Great Square Vase has successfully entered the world! Pak Chi Hai wiped his eyes: "The Emperor, his old self, must surely know as well."

Jia Lou Tian's severed head— the Seal Command Divine Form lost its master and also materialized. It turned into a hanging cyan necklace that fell to the ground, scooped up by the Red General.

She stood there holding the Seal Command Divine Form, gazing intently for a long while.

Hu Min and the other commanders originally wanted to come forward to report, but seeing this, they halted their steps, afraid to disturb.

Pak Chi Hai suddenly pointed at her and said: "It changed color!"

Ling Jin Bao, not understanding: "What?"

Who changed color, Red General?

"The Seal Command Divine Form in her hand!"

Ling Jin Bao and the Earth Mother fixed their eyes, and indeed, the Seal Command Divine Form in the Red General's hand once again burst forth with golden light!

The two exclaimed in astonishment: "How is this happening?"

Ling Jin Bao had only recently ascended to immortality, lacking experience, so at this moment he turned his gaze to the Earth Mother.

The Earth Mother replied impatiently: "You've asked the wrong person. As for demon matters, how would I know?"

He and the demons have only interacted for a short time—just three or four years—but he's already been tormented by them enough to be furious. Especially the "divine form," this kind of thing's complexity and oddity simply drive him mad.

He can't fathom it, can't fathom it. He truly doesn't understand how the Nine Abysses and the Red General comprehend and control the divine form.

With the dust settled from this battle, everyone's emotions finally relaxed.

However, the Seal Command Divine Form merely flashed golden light once more, then reverted to its original ornament appearance.

After a while, the Red General finally opened his eyes and said:

"Indeed so."

The Earth Mother especially wanted to know, just what exactly is this "so"!

But at this moment it again sensed something, so it patted the ground.

On the battlefield, a faint light flashed, and two figures appeared out of thin air—namely, the Immortal Meng Ke and the Great General Ji Shi Yi of the Shen State.

Originally both wore anxious expressions, but at first sight of the battlefield, they were stunned speechless.

Ji Shi Yi finally led his troops to arrive at the Kun Long Moat, Meng Ke Xian Ren went to greet him, and along the way there were still some setbacks. When they arrived at the battlefield via the Earth Mother's teleportation, they actually discovered this place had completely changed its appearance!

How did Pan Long Ancient City get pushed up by the crust to half a day's height?

The buildings on this flat ground before the city have all vanished, the ground now shows unexplained massive gullies, everywhere filled with smoldering smoke, as if deeply plowed by lightning countless times.

If not for the scattered broken tiles and ruined walls everywhere, Meng Ke Xian Ren would still think he had stepped into the Lei Ting Heavenly Plains with one step.

Only the homeland of lightning could have such a terrain, right?

Most unexpectedly of all, how did a military force appear here out of nowhere?

Meng Ke Xian Ren is quite certain that when he left, the Pan Long Secret Realm was already on the brink of collapse, with the garrison reduced to a pitiful three hundred, not a match for the two-in-one forces led by Jia Lou Tian.

When he led Ji Shi Yi rushing back, his heart burned with anxiety, fearing he'd arrive too late and Jia Lou Tian had already seized the ancient city.

But now, now what is this situation?

Ji Shi Yi's vision flashed—just as he was teleported here, he was shaken by the Pan Long Army's soaring killing intent, a chill running down his spine, the hairs on his back standing on end.

"What is going on?" he asked, not understanding, urgently inquiring of Meng Ke Xian Ren, "Is this the Cang Yan great army?"

Meng Ke Xian Ren had just clearly told him that the Cang Yan garrison was withered, unable to resist the great demons' covetousness, and thus had desperately urged the Shen State great army to hurry over.

The result? The result is only he and Meng Ke Xian Ren have teleported over; the Shen State great army still doesn't know where they are!

Ji Shi Yi asked while gripping his sword hilt, thinking: Could it be this person is a fraud, intending to lure him alone and kill him?

But Immortal Mingke seemed not to hear his words, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the battlefield, utterly absent-minded.

"Hey, Immortal Mingke!" Ji Shiyi flew into a rage, "I came to help you by royal decree..."

Immortal Mingke, however, raised a hand and pointed, his voice trembling along with his fingertip, as if he could barely lift his own arm: "Jia, Jiālou Tian!"

"What?" Ji Shiyi followed the direction of his finger, gazing at the most conspicuous deep pit in the field.

In the pit lay a charred mass, beside which stood a warrior in red armor.

At a glance he could tell the standing figure was either the leader or a general, for his bearing was extraordinary.

But the one lying down barely retained a human shape, making his original appearance unrecognizable. Yet Immortal Mingke pointed at him and shouted "Jiālou Tian"?

"That is Jiālou Tian." Immortal Mingke heard the Earth Mother's voice in his ear, still so shocked he could only repeat that sentence.

Though he dared not believe such good fortune, the Red General clearly held the Xùlìng Divine Seal in his hand.

If Jiālou Tian is not dead, how could the divine seal have fallen into another's hands?

At this moment, Ling Jinbao and the other Cāngyàn garrison troops also came rushing over via the Natural Bridge, bowing solemnly to the Red General:

"Thank you, Red General, for saving us from water and fire!"

Had the Red General and the Panlong Army arrived even a moment later, they would all have perished; how could they still be standing here to speak?

Upon hearing the name "Red General," Immortal Mingke's mind buzzed again, coming to a complete halt; Ji Shiyi froze, then wore an expression of utter disbelief.
