Chapter 3148
"It won't take long." The Red General said quickly, "As long as we hold the elemental law until the ground war decides the victor!"
To be honest, she also knows very well that she is no match for the Lingxu Holy Sovereign. But what does it matter? Her mission is to hold back the Lingxu Holy Sovereign and prevent it from wantonly destroying the elemental law.
For this goal, she can give her all.
Zhao Mantu is carefully observing the crystal vein branches, which represent the elemental law: "Oh, there's good news: the broken law twigs are repairing, but slowly. A dragon god is also helping us. As long as we give it time, it will grow back fully."
The branch previously broken by the blue-armored beetle has now sprouted new buds again.
Though subtle, it is a new hope.
The repair of the law usually isn't this swift, which shows that although the dragon god cannot come out to fight personally, it is also helping the Red General in its own way.
The Red General silently exhales in relief; it's good that the elemental law can self-repair.
"As long as the main trunk remains intact, the damaged law will eventually heal." Zhao Mantu asks her, "Do you have any ideas?"
The Lingxu Holy Sovereign's strategy is very steady, using only three parts of its strength against the Red General while putting the vast majority of its effort into destroying the boundless law. The earlier the dragon god's law is shattered, the sooner the foundation of the demon's victory can be consolidated!
Knowing what's important, the Lingxu Holy Sovereign is clear enough—how could it easily change its tactics?
"Provoke it!" The Red General declared decisively, "Make it feel that it faces a serious threat."
¥¥¥¥Y
The second collapse of the Lingxu city wall occurred, the breach larger than the first. Now it's like a dam bursting, the alliance vanguard surging in like a flood, beginning to attack the wall's barriers and formations from within, seeking to gain a foothold and expand their advantage.
Like most city walls, the formation barriers are either drawn on the inner side or placed in the interlayer. The Lingxu city wall has so many formations that the interlayer cannot accommodate them, so many are carved directly onto the inner wall. Usually, if enemies can reach the inner wall, the gate is likely already breached, and it's time to abandon the position.
Tianmo Shouzhu, seeing this, hurled a talisman stone toward the breach in the city wall.
After landing, the talisman stone expanded in volume by ten thousand times, transforming into a wedge-shaped small hill that just managed to plug the city wall breach to seven-tenths full.
Not to mention how many soldiers it crushed, but after the breach was blocked, the over eight hundred vanguard troops who had previously entered Lingxu City were immediately cut off from reinforcements!
"Gate panel!" Liu Tiao exclaimed anxiously, shooting an arrow at the small hill.
The vanguard army is led by her husband, and now the gate panel is blocked behind the city wall—how could Zenbu Sect not make her anxious?
The arrow tip flashed with crimson light, shooting a spiderweb-like crack onto the small hill.
The Elemental-Destroying Divine Technique—at most one more arrow, and this small hill would collapse. But just then, the Great Demon Yunbao Tian struck down a divine light, and the cracks on the small hill were miraculously smoothed away.
Yunbao Tian possesses a unique skill: not only can it quickly heal companions' injuries, but it can also rapidly repair magical artifacts, making it a renowned repair master among the Lingxu.
Liu Tiao, anxious, shot another arrow.
As soon as this arrow left her hand, she felt something was wrong—her strength plummeted, like a deflated ball, and the speed and force of the arrow shot were far weaker than before.
The strangest thing is that the light attached to the arrow changed.
The first arrow shot earlier was crimson, but this one is only deep yellow.
At the same time, Liu Tiao felt her limbs grow heavy, no longer as agile and strong as before. Normally, this is the sensation after losing elemental power.
Impossible? Her heart jolted, she turned to look at the Cangyan soldiers beside her, including the Great Wind Army behind her—their elemental glows had faded, most now only a pale yellow.
At this moment, the alliance's divine powers striking the city wall also seemed less effective than before.
The soldiers fighting the heavenly gods and demons feel this most deeply. Like Hu Min, such a general, originally one arrow could pierce a demon's shoulder if timing was right. But now, that arrowhead was actually bounced off by the opponent's protective gangqi!
He would need two levels higher to break through the demon's defense!
At this moment, several petrification spells happened to strike down from the sky, hitting a group of Shen Kingdom soldiers.
Back when elemental power was at its peak, they would at most feel their bodies sluggish, recovering normalcy within a few breaths. But this time, as the divine light flashed, thirty or forty people on the ground were actually condensed into stone statues!
Xiao Hanzi's emergency transmission also echoed in He Lingchuan's ear: "Not good, the entire army's elemental power has declined, including us."
"What's wrong with the elemental power?" Pugu Shangren and Que Yunzi, etc., were equally startled, hastily calling He Lingchuan, "Quickly think of a solution!"
Earlier, the demon forces vastly outnumbered ours yet still didn't gain the upper hand, precisely because elemental power was too strong: not easy to have the Lingxu city wall breached, but now, at this critical juncture, why has elemental power collapsed?
This decline in elemental power is a mutual loss—no one in the alliance is spared, including He Lingchuan.
He is the supreme commander; he must immediately come up with a countermeasure!
As the ultimate coordinator of the Lingxu battlefield, He Lingchuan actually sensed the change in elemental power the very first moment.
He did nothing wrong, but suddenly, elemental power weakened. If we measure the alliance's elemental power with a cup, a few breaths ago it was overflowing; now it's at most one-third full, not even reaching one-fourth!
Elemental power hasn't disappeared—it's just been greatly weakened. The law evolved by the Black Dragon God Sovereign with painstaking effort cannot suddenly change in just a few breaths unless—
He Lingchuan's gaze turned to the sky, unless the boundless elemental law has been destroyed!
The Lingxu Holy Sovereign is actually this powerful—fighting the Red General on one hand while still able to destroy the boundless law?
Then it means that in that battle of the boundless realm, our side is also in grave danger.
The Soul-Capturing Mirror in his pocket wailed: "What to do, what to do? Elemental power is so weak—what do we have to fight the demons with?"
Relying solely on human army strength, we cannot match the demons. Now elemental power suddenly weakened—it's like the tide receding; are they— are they going to swim naked?
He grabbed the divine bone necklace, asking softly: "Is the elemental law destroyed?"
Before, he always used this method to contact the Great Square Vessel.
The divine bone necklace trembled twice, meaning "yes."
Before the war, He Lingchuan had agreed with the Red General: if communication became inconvenient during the boundless battle and remote contact impossible, they would still use the old method—using the divine bone necklace to stay in touch. Because the divine bone necklace is part of the Great Square Vessel, their connection cannot be blocked.
However, the divine bone necklace only allows one-way transmission—the Red General can hear He Lingchuan's words but cannot reply in real time, only able to tap codes.
He Lingchuan's second question was: "Can elemental power still recover?"
