Chapter 3147
You know, after the last time the Red General's Lei Ting plowed over it, the meadow took nearly a quarter of an hour to recover, but this time it only took about forty breaths.
Moreover, the speed at which it gives birth to strange beasts has also increased.
This batch of newly grown strange beasts all have faint red spots on their surfaces, are smaller in size, yet appear more compact.
As they charge toward the moat, they will pass through vast stretches of black land, thereby entering the domain of the Death God.
Therefore, with every step they take, a large amount of vitality is sucked away by the black earth beneath their feet, and this black soil effectively slows their advance.
Many strange beasts collapse after just a few hundred steps, dying in the exact same manner as Ying Zerui Tian initially did—namely, dying of old age.
Xuan Du in the moat seizes the moment to sweep clean all enemies who have entered the water.
However, this peace does not last long.
Because the first batch of strange beasts hasn't even fallen yet, a new batch has already been generated. Ling Xu Sheng Zun's meadow is like a production factory, with production speed increasing and intervals between batches growing shorter.
This batch of strange beasts, compared to the previous one, manages to persist for about five more breaths and travels an additional six or seven zhang.
Then comes the next batch, and the one after that.
Man Mo Da Sa Man stands on the city wall, able to see strange beasts surging from afar, endless in number, their colors growing darker, their forms more ferocious, and the distance they can march across the black earth growing longer.
At this point, even the little stone man realizes something is wrong.
"They, they can even resist the power of death?"
At the same time, Ling Xu Sheng Zun instantly summons seven avatars, striding forward in great leaps toward the moat. Their vitality far surpasses that of ordinary strange beasts, and the black earth cannot drain their energy all at once.
Seeing them about to leap into the moat, the Red General once again summons the Lei Ting Tian Pu, intending to annihilate them in one strike.
Lei Guang sweeps across the entire field once more, and all strange beasts are instantly vaporized. But the little stone man lets out a long "eh," for he sees clearly:
Of Ling Xu Sheng Zun's seven avatars, only four were destroyed!
The remaining three, though completely scorched black, are still able to move and continue charging toward the moat of Pan Long City!
"No way? Even the Lei Ting Tian Pu can't kill them?" the little stone man exclaims in disbelief, "If this continues, won't, won't Ling Xu Sheng Zun's creations no longer fear the Red General's Lei Ting or the power of death?"
Zhao Man Du nods: "Indeed, it's developing in this direction. From what we see now, one of Ling Xu Sheng Zun's strongest divine talents as a life deity is
adaptation. He can cause the life he creates to rapidly undergo directed evolution to adapt to the enemy's special powers, even at the cost of generational disparities."
He continues: "I once heard a saying in another world: the final victor is not determined by how strong an individual's power is, but by whether they can better adapt to a new environment."
The adaptation of life to environment and to all disadvantages is the key to survival, development, and victory.
It appears that Ling Xu Sheng Zun realized this long ago and has solidified it as one of the innate talents of his life divine nature.
"Truly remarkable."
"Ah, don't praise him!" the little stone man cries out in distress, "But what are we to do now?"
If even the Red General's ultimate killing move cannot affect Ling Xu Sheng Zun, how can we possibly fight this battle today?
"The battle inside the artifact is not the main event." Da Sa Man stretches out his hand and draws a circle, displaying the external boundless battlefield, "The struggle in the boundless realm is the real trouble."
Inside the artifact, the Red General and Ling Xu Sheng Zun clash fiercely; while in the boundless realm, the battle between Hun Dun and the Qing Jia Chong has never ceased.
Under the control of the life divine nature, the Qing Jia Chong has already broken several chains; at this moment, it suddenly twists, and a crystalline vein branch beside it, which originally had a hidden crack, is violently pried apart—this branch snaps instantly!
"Disaster." The little stone man cries out in alarm, "That's a branch of the Yuan Li law!"
Unlike the other meridian branches previously shattered by the giant beetle's impact, this branch belongs to the Yuan Li law.
Ling Xu Sheng Zun has painstakingly planned this, and finally, the first step succeeds.
After this branch breaks, it vanishes in place. At the same time, the Red General suddenly senses something being stripped from her body—an unpleasant feeling.
The light on her body was originally dark purple, but now it instantly turns red.
The little stone man clutches his head: "What? The Yuan Li on the Red General's body has been downgraded!"
Although Yuan Li still represents the power of all beings, the enhancement it provides to the Red General has been greatly reduced.
Under any primary law, complex secondary and tertiary laws derive; though the branch Ling Xu Sheng Zun shattered is fine, it can instantly weaken the upper limit of the Yuan Li enhancement the Red General enjoys!
The little stone man immediately realizes that the affected are not limited to the Red General alone. The boundless law is closely tied to mortal reality, so on the ground there is also a large group of victims: the Nine Nether Great Emperor, various immortals, and the human war alliance army!
Feeling the decline of Yuan Li, the Red General immediately retreats to the natural bridge of Pan Long City.
She is fully aware of all the changes in the boundless realm, so her expression is grave.
"Hun Dun cannot hold back Ling Xu Sheng Zun's divine artifact." The two divine artifacts are locked in struggle, Hun Dun gradually falling into disadvantage, "Ling Xu Sheng Zun will
devote most of his energy to the boundless realm, using it to destroy the Yuan Li law, and against me he uses at most one-third of his divine power."
The Red General knows it's not that the Great Vessel is inferior to her opponent, but that her power and divine nature cannot match Ling Xu Sheng Zun's. The battle in the boundless realm is a primordial struggle, allowing no frivolity. Whether in power, divine nature quality, or understanding of laws, this old fellow Ling Xu Sheng Zun far surpasses her.
How long Ling Xu Sheng Zun has lived, no one knows for certain; while she has lived so long that it's not even a fraction of Ling Xu Sheng Zun's lifespan.
Experience and insight truly require time to settle.
Zhao Man Du says softly: "Being able to hold back Ling Xu Sheng Zun this long, aside from the Dragon God, you are the first in history."
Even the Peak Immortal of Shou An in his prime could not achieve this.
"Not enough, far from enough." If we continue to allow Ling Xu Sheng Zun to destroy the Yuan Li law, the war alliance will lose the battle for Ling Xu City!
The Red General clenches her fists tightly, "We must divert his attention from the boundless realm to our battlefield!"
This would both protect the Yuan Li law and buy He Lingchuan time for ground combat.
Upon hearing the Red General say this, Zhao Man Du knows she already has a countermeasure, yet his concern does not lessen: "If we provoke Ling Xu Sheng Zun into a furious rage and he unleashes his full force upon us, I fear we cannot hold out for long.
Ling Xu Sheng Zun using only one-third of his power can already fight the Red General to a standstill. If he uses seven or eight-tenths—【TITLE】 Evolution Adaptation and Law Destruction
