Chapter 3145
How could the addition of nineteen peak powers not turn the tide in one fell swoop? This is unreasonable!
Moreover, every time a true immortal slays a great heavenly demon, the War Alliance broadcasts it across the battlefield to boost morale.
The soldiers of Lingxu City on the opposite side heard the two pieces of bad news, their hearts nearly breaking. The War Alliance army advanced triumphantly all the way, reaching the gates of Lingxu City. They have stubbornly held on until now, merely believing that once the Lingxu Holy Venerable and the Great Heavenly God descend to the mortal realm, they can reverse the situation and turn Lingxu City from peril to safety.
Now the Great Heavenly God has descended, but the battlefield situation seems not to have improved. The Great Heavenly God was slain twice in the blink of an eye, while the Lingxu Holy Venerable remains nowhere to be seen.
Where is the promised reversal?
Where is the promised invincible divine might?
At this moment, every belief of the Lingxu City people is severely shaken. The spiritual power light on their bodies is visibly dimmer to the naked eye. Helu Tian watches them on the battlefield and curses, "Useless trash!"
Fortunately, turning danger into safety does not entirely rely on them.
At this moment, the southeast city wall of Lingxu City suffers another violent shock. This is the Earth Mother striking its barrier once again.
Immediately after, a loud cracking sound came from beside the city gate—the city wall, hastily repaired by Lingxu City, suddenly collapsed again!
This time it was not just a crack appearing, but a large section of the wall suddenly collapsing, cleanly and directly.
The Earth Mother bears great responsibility, but the most direct cause is the previous disruption of laws that shook the foundation of Lingxu City's wall askew.
The city wall indeed has self-healing ability—it can repair itself when attacked—but a skewed foundation cannot be fixed by itself; it cannot straighten itself out.
The Earth Mother is originally a master of structural engineering, and on this foundation she presses forward. Proof shows that as long as the corner is dug well, no city wall will fall.
The vanguard troops, led by the gate panel, cheered and rushed in with weapons raised.
Racing against time, racing against time, every soldier of the Great Wind Army knows deep down that the battlefield situation changes instantly, and advantage will not forever stay on their side.
We must be quick, we must swiftly consolidate the fruits of victory.
The Great Heavenly Demons also noticed that Lingxu City's defense had been breached and immediately rushed here.
The true immortals of the War Alliance followed closely behind.
At this moment, the dark sky canopy that had originally shrouded half the battlefield suddenly retracted, because the seven great heavenly demons slipped out from within it, and for He Lingchuan to maintain the dark sky canopy was now meaningless.
Needless to say, the seven great heavenly demons have returned to the battlefield, and the War Alliance's pressure to capture the city has increased again.
How did they slip out? It still relies on Helu Tian.
In the heavenly demon data collected by He Lingchuan, there was no mention of Helu Tian having such an ability: his solidified divinity
"Yuntai" can leave a backdoor.
Helu Tian activated the "Yuntai" within the dark sky canopy, but the backdoor quietly opened several li away. After the great heavenly demons entered the Yuntai, they found no suitable opportunity to counterattack, so together with Helu Tian, they slipped through the Yuntai's backdoor out of the range of the dark sky canopy!
This move of secretly crossing through Chen Cang is truly something He Lingchuan did not anticipate.
Seeing him personally lead his troops to charge at the gates of Lingxu City, the great heavenly demons instead scattered, daring not to gather again. The range of the dark sky canopy is vast, and they do not wish to be trapped inside it again.
Without Helu Tian, who knows how they could have escaped.

Boundless.
At this moment, Panlongcheng was snowing.
The little stone man suddenly felt something, looked up, and felt cool spots on his face.
How could it snow inside the divine artifact? It and He Lingchuan have come here many times, and the weather here has always been unchanging.
He wiped his face with his hand; the snow powder was very fine, melting into water with a rub.
But the little stone man was greatly surprised: this is not ordinary snow, it is blood.
Human snow is white, but the snow falling in Panlongcheng is red, a bloody brilliant red.
Snowflakes fluttered down, one by one from the sky, most falling outside the city, in the Mist Valley outside Panlongcheng.
Snowflakes fell in the mountains and forests, on the leaves of small trees, melting before they could accumulate, flowing along branches and trunks into the soil:
Snowflakes fell on the city walls, melting instantly, dyeing the ancient bricks into mottled and ominous deep red.
The Great Shaman raised his hand to catch a few snowflakes for careful examination, then said: "Our battle with the Lingxu Holy Venerable has caused the laws to break, and humanity may have suffered a great disaster."
The little stone man exclaimed: "Then what is this snow?"
"Probably because too many living beings have died in the world, their death has transformed into death power." The Great Shaman said solemnly, "Do not forget, the death divinity has already been fused into the Great Cauldron, and the Great Cauldron has now entered the world of laws, merging with heaven and earth. Therefore, the death power appearing in the world naturally flows here."
Coincidentally, the Great Cauldron, the death divinity, and the Red General are all in such a special state.
The natural disasters in the world have destroyed countless living beings; their final burst of power at the brink of death—whether anger,
grief, fear, unwillingness, or regret, hatred, sorrow, confusion—all are offered to the Death God!
The death divinity of the Red General received these powers, thus transforming them into red snow, collected inside the divine artifact.
The little stone man scratched the back of his head: "Yes, if living beings in the world die in large numbers, the Death God's power will naturally increase."
This was not intentionally done by the Red General, but objectively, the power of the Great Cauldron and the death divinity have both been strengthened.
"The Great Cauldron is truly a rare divine artifact in the world." Poman said again with feeling, "Too bad my soul is not complete. If I could become the artifact spirit of the Great Cauldron, its power could still rise another level!"
The Great Cauldron originally had a master, namely the will of the Black Dragon God transformed into chaos: it also had an artifact spirit, namely the former Zhong Shengguang and later Sun Fuling.
But after the Great Cauldron returned from emptiness to substance, chaos returned to the Dao, and Sun Fuling returned to reality together with Panlongcheng. Therefore, the Great Cauldron now lacks an artifact spirit.
The little stone man hurriedly asked: "Then does this artifact of the Lingxu Holy Venerable have an artifact spirit?"
"Yes." The Great Shaman said firmly, "Otherwise, it could not possibly be a match for the Great Cauldron."
"Before this great war, why wasn't an artifact spirit made for the Great Cauldron?"
"You say it easily." The Great Shaman laughed: "Such divine objects have extremely high standards, far more demanding than humans by hundreds of times—how could they casually accept an artifact spirit? The Nine Abyss and the Red General must have tried as well, but simply could not find an artifact spirit matching them."
It is not that they did not want to, but that they could not.
"If found, that would be good—solving the current crisis in the world would be much easier." He continued, "After the Dragon God roamed the outer heavens and returned, he once told me that some worlds occasionally give birth to one or two super-divine artifacts, with power beyond compare."
