Chapter 3136

He Lingchuan's spirits lifted: "Excellent, let's launch a full-force attack on the southeast city gate."

He also kept in mind the battle in the Boundless Realm—Red General had never lost a fight, but how could the Spirit Void Sacred Venerable be any different?

Who knew how intense the battle in the sky had become—was Red General's fight going well or not?

But the ground was in utter chaos, and He Lingchuan still had to suppress his inner agitation and focus on commanding the army.

When the heavenly omen appeared, the team of Hou Tianyu, the Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace, had just finished slaughtering a pursuing force.

Pili Tian stretched out his hand and flicked his robe—two drops of fresh blood fell to the ground.

This pursuing force numbered only two hundred, elite aside, with three immortals among them. He dealt with them effortlessly. But the speed of Hou Tianyu and his companions was thus slowed, which greatly displeased the Great Heavenly God.

At this moment, the sky flowed with radiant light, and the aurora suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Hou Tianyu rejoiced: "Sacred Venerable! The Sacred Venerable has descended!"

The Spirit Void Sacred Venerable truly lives up to golden words and jade speech—the Divine Initiation Plan said it would begin, and it did, greatly easing their pressure to flee Mount Xushan.

Just then, a sudden earthquake came from the south—several peaks of Mount Xushan collapsed, unexpectedly clearing a path for them. Hou Tianyu kept saying, "May the Sacred Venerable bless us," but Pili Tian had already grown impatient, saying only, "I'll go ahead," before his figure vanished from the spot.

As the God of Space, he doesn't need to exert himself like others when traveling. The twisting static shield barrier doesn't bind him, for he doesn't use escape techniques but spatial displacement—he can cover hundreds of zhang in a single step.

Of course, he also has long-distance leap ability, but the charging time is relatively long.

From here to the southwest gate of Lingxu City isn't far—for Pili Tian, it's just a matter of lifting his leg.

After he moved forward fifteen li, the Fear Eye attached to him exclaimed delightedly: "Excellent, excellent. I smell a great deal of fear."

Every person they had slain earlier had emitted a pleasant scent before death. But large-scale, mass fear is the Fear Eye's primary objective in this descent to the mortal realm.

"I really should have come down sooner."

This war in the mortal realm has been going on for a long time—how many deaths have occurred, so much fear has followed. If I had been present, what a precious and vast fortune that would have been, just wasted like this!

Thinking this, the Fear Eye beat its chest and stamped its feet.

Since it is attached to Pili Tian, it is his chest that it beats and his feet that it stamps. Pili Tian had to exert great effort to stop these two actions, and couldn't help but mock it:

"The Sacred Venerable already advised you to come down—it's your own excessive caution."

Whether heavenly god or divine object, the process of descending from the heavenly realm to the mortal world is invariably passive. The Fear Eye worries about this passivity. It fears that during this process, the Spirit Void Sacred Venerable might do something to it.

Of course, Pili Tian didn't mention the word "fear," giving it face. After all, this creature is now attached to him.

Just as his words fell, he saw countless filamentous white lights flying from the sky ahead, like spring willow fluff. These white lights, as if guided, flew toward Pili Tian and then burrowed into the back of his right hand. But he felt nothing throughout, for these things are not absorbed by it.

Pili Tian raised his right hand and saw a pattern appear on the back of his hand:

A large eye, with pupils like narrow slits, very much like a cat's eye.

The white light flying from the sky is what drills into the fine slit of the pupil, vanishing without a trace.

The Fear Eye is already attached to Pili Tian—the pattern on the back of his hand is proof. And the willow-fluff-like white light flying from heaven? Undoubtedly, it is the fear generated by soldiers on both sides of the battlefield!

The Fear Eye is a divine artifact that feeds on the fear of living beings. It can absorb all fear factors within a hundred li radius, instantly nourishing and strengthening itself.

The fear in people's hearts is originally invisible to Pili Tian. But the Fear Eye has shared its vision with him.

Not enough, far from enough. The Fear Eye is dissatisfied: "You said the Spirit Void Sacred Venerable is also the first heavenly god revered by mortals? Then why, when he and the Great Heavenly God descend, do humans produce only this tiny bit of fear?"

The miraculous aurora descends first, the fear factors appear after—of course they are related.

Everyone on the battlefield has eyes and understands what the aurora's appearance means. The Lingxu side is cheered, fear lessens. Meanwhile, the Alliance side watches the aurora descend helplessly, but the soldiers' panic falls far short of expectations.

Is it because humans know nothing of the Great Heavenly God's wrath and methods, so ignorance breeds no fear?

Pili Tian can only say: "Perhaps there are too few civilians nearby."

The Fear Eye then asks him: "Was the time of the Great Heavenly God's descent announced to the world long in advance?"

Pili Tian replied: "Yes, the Sacred Venerable notified the opposing leader ten days ahead."

"Foolish." The Fear Eye sneered, "Announced too early—people had time to prepare mentally, so they wouldn't panic so much."

"With the apocalypse counting down day by day, how could they not panic?"

"You don't understand—this is the moment of liberation. Things that have frightened people day and night, when they truly arrive but fail to cause the imagined heaven-destroying, earth-ending catastrophe, at that moment humans might instead feel relieved."

"Psychology is such a subtle thing—how am I supposed to explain this to laypeople?"

"Anyway, hurry up and get to the battlefield!"

The Lingxu battlefield, inside and outside the city, has several million people—what scale of fear are they generating!

Thinking this, the Fear Eye feels an unbearable itch. What miserable days has it endured in the heavenly realm before?

The number of living beings in the mortal realm is tens of thousands of times that of the heavenly realm.

Without being urged, Pili Tian also quickened his pace.

The Divine Initiation has begun—most of the Great Heavenly Gods will descend upon the Lingxu battlefield. He and Helo Tian are no longer fighting alone.

These past days he has felt utterly stifled, but now it's their turn to counterattack, their turn to raise their heads and exult!

"Hey, don't just absorb without releasing." Pili Tian also urged the Fear Eye: "Can't you already affect the front lines?"

He knows the front lines of Lingxu City are strained. The Sacred Venerable sent this divine object down to the mortal realm precisely to disrupt the Alliance's attack formation.

This divine artifact can absorb fear factors over a certain radius—and release fear power over the same radius!

"Need you to say that?" The Fear Eye laughed heartily: "It's already begun!"

……

Front lines of Lingxu City.

This six-hundred-year-old mighty city has six gates in total, now all under attack. "De" "Qi" "Xiao" "Shuo" "Wang" "Shou" "Dian" "Geng"

When the heavenly aurora fell, the southeast city gate was under assault by three hundred thousand troops. This three-hundred-thousand-strong force was composed of the Six Nations Alliance, with the armies of Cangyan and Mou as the main force, totaling 180,000.

As for the defending forces at Lingxu City's southeast gate, aside from the city garrison, they mainly relied on over two thousand demons.
