Chapter 3144

However, the flood of fate had just begun to unfold, and the great heavenly demons trapped in the flood disappeared one after another, while another portion of the heavenly demons also vanished. The thin man beside He Lingchuan couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the dark heavenly canopy seems to have a leak, and the flood has also drained away a portion!"

He Lingchuan snorted: "They also came prepared, and Hulu Tian opened his own small world, the Cloud Terrace!"

The Lingxu crowd has two space gods, besides the recently fallen Pili Tian, it is Hulu Tian before us. He solidified his divinity into the small world "Cloud Terrace," with astonishing capacity, even able to hold vast amounts of living beings, the drawback being that when loading living beings, it cannot move.

The flood of fate had just begun to scour the great heavenly demons when Hulu Tian opened the Cloud Terrace, gathering his companions inside. A portion of the flood also rushed in with them, so the thin man would say the words "drained away."

"Not in the same space, the karmic flood entering the Cloud Terrace will disappear and return here to me." That flood is not real water, so it won't fill the entire Cloud Terrace. "I originally thought Hulu Tian's divinity was useless on the battlefield, but it seems I still underestimated him. As soon as a heavenly demon steps out of the Cloud Terrace, it will be scoured again."

He Lingchuan pressed his finger joints: "No problem, I originally only wanted to do my best to hold them back."

Even if he expanded himself greatly, he never thought he could fight seven alone, or stubbornly resist several hundred heavenly demons. So he came to draw fire, merely to divert the great heavenly demons' firepower, easing the burden for other true immortals.

Nineteen great heavenly demons, temporarily seven were held here, so twelve remained outside.

For the true immortals of the Alliance, how could the pressure be merely reduced by half?

Xiao Hanzi gave an order, and the ten true immortals split into three groups, each leading two or three hundred immortals, respectively going to snipe one great heavenly demon. The Cangyan army on the ground also coordinated, their arrows soaked in elemental power shooting up in unison.

At this moment, the true immortals' elemental power was abundant, far stronger than usual, and still fighting three against one, which perfectly fulfilled Jiuxiao's requirement: to overcome the weak with the strong.

Pugu Shangren first locked onto the great heavenly demon Yan Yan Tian. This one cultivates the power of words, with one hundred and eight golden talismans floating around his body, usually silent, using divine power to temper the word-spirit golden talismans, waiting for use on the battlefield, each golden talisman corresponds to a divine technique of absolute power.

In single combat, he could at least endure a few hours against Pugu Shangren, but this time there was also a Lingbao immortal attacking from the side, instantly shattering three of his defensive divine talismans.

Yan Yan Tian was also very surprised, having fought Pugu Shangren three thousand years ago, not expecting this opponent to have become so strong, his red elemental power even having an extremely strong dissolving effect on the divine talismans.

Under these circumstances, adding another Lingbao immortal similarly possessing elemental power, Yan Yan Tian immediately found himself unable to cope.

Other great heavenly demons also noticed his predicament, about to rush to his aid, when a startling rainbow streaked across the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching, also stunning half the battlefield, but to Yan Yan Tian it was a dazzling death—this was Xiao Hanzi's earth-shaking sword, its power no less than that of the Primordial True Immortal who, from a thousand li away, split the mountain to save his disciple Minghui True Immortal—the strike from beyond the heavens!

Yan Yan Tian didn't even have time to turn around before this sword pierced his heart, and the twelve protective divine talismans before him simultaneously vanished!

Seeing the power of this sword, the Alliance army cheered instantly.

First blood achieved, the first great heavenly demon fell!

Pugu Shangren also laughed loudly: "Elemental power truly is useful!"

But Xiao Hanzi's face showed no joy, only urging all true immortals: "Hurry, hurry, next target!"

The task is heavy indeed, nineteen minus one, eighteen great heavenly demons remain! Within limited time, they must exert their utmost to reduce this number.

The strategy prearranged by Jiuxiao Dadi for all true immortals, when laid bare, is also a yang plot. Precisely because our true immortals are fewer in number than the enemy's, we must gather the true immortals in a short time and go all out to capture single targets!

He clearly knows, on the battlefield there has never been anything like overcoming strength with weakness, only local instances of overcoming the weak with the strong. Fortunately, in personnel deployment, from true immortals down to soldiers, the Alliance possesses an advantage the enemy cannot match, namely:

Orders are followed, strike where pointed.

He Lingchuan, in the Panlong World, has fought the great heavenly demons battle after battle, his understanding of the Bekka army + great heavenly demons combination can be said to be cellular-level.

After several months of integration, the Alliance army highly approves of Jiuxiao Dadi's command, showing great obedience. What is rare and valuable is that this obedience is not only seen in ordinary soldiers, but even the true immortals accompanying the army.

True immortals possess the peak combat power of this world, but when it comes to marching and fighting, seizing opportunities, and overall coordination, let alone being compared to Jiuxiao Dadi, they are still far inferior to generals like Menban and Qiuhu. These months of war have also made them deeply aware of this, so on today's battlefield, they have also restrained the arrogance of true immortals, faithfully and without discount executing Jiuxiao Dadi's orders.

For humanity, this is also an unprecedented marvel. After all, true immortals long-term accompanying the army in war has never happened in history.

But their opponents, the great heavenly demons, are not so obedient.

In Lingxu City there are also several generals skilled in warfare and strategic planning. But they can at most manage their own subordinates, command the troops of Lingxu City, yet cannot possibly exert any restraint over the great heavenly demons.

This is nevertheless an instance of the lower overcoming the higher.

These dozen or so great heavenly demons have just descended to the human realm, never having coordinated with Lingxu City's commanders and troops, so how could they willingly obey their commands? After descending to the lower realm, of course it's each fighting their own.

Actually, great heavenly demons are like true immortals in the celestial realm—solitary eagles, rarely associating with other great heavenly demons. They originally held the doctrine of self-supremacy for three thousand years, now it's very difficult to cooperate well with other great heavenly demons, so upon descending to the lower realm, they immediately ate a dull blow from the Alliance.

Merely fifty breaths later, another great heavenly demon fell.

This time it was Que Yunzi, Qin Hai Yaksha Wang, and Qing Lin who achieved merit together.

After two companions fell in succession, the remaining great heavenly demons finally took notice, because they suddenly discovered that the number of great heavenly demons active on the battlefield actually equaled that of the true immortals!

This is a truly terrible signal. Because the true immortals strengthened by great elemental power already have individual combat ability surpassing that of the great heavenly demons. Moreover, they have just received the news of Pili Tian's fall.

Before and after their descent, not long had passed before the great heavenly demons had already fallen three!

Thus they consciously began to gather, no longer fighting singly. But this way, they lost combat flexibility.

If we also count the Lingxu City army, originally suppressed by the Alliance army, the balance of victory would not only not tilt to this side, but would instead favor the Alliance even more.

This is a situation the great heavenly demons could never have imagined before descending to the lower realm.
