Chapter 3151: Temporary Difficulty

Although Frostleaf also carefully concealed his movements and did not let the Eye of Fear act frequently.

The demon gods' divine abilities vary; it's possible some can track the Eye of Fear, like the Past-Future God. He does not want to expose himself under the gaze of a great demon god.

In short, the Southeast Route Army of the War Alliance, after great hardship, finally withdrew into Mount Xushan.

After entering the territory of Mount Xushan, the pressure on the War Alliance army suddenly decreased, because here not only are there barrier formations set up, but also a powerful local tyrant, the Great Fire Spirit Flame Furnace.

The entire Mount Xushan is an extension of the Great Fire Spirit's body; he can draw endless replenishment from the earth-core true fire and imperial flowing metal, delivering heavy blows to the enemy.

The fire soldiers and stone beast army he dispatched together with the Earth Mother are endless and tireless, and during the decline of elemental power, they are excellent at setting up camp and defense.

Only by holding Mount Xushan as a base could the War Alliance army pause, replenish supplies, and tend to wounds.

At this moment, everyone realized that the Nine Abyssal Great Emperor's earlier determination to seize Mount Xushan was far-sighted.

The War Alliance leadership also held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone knows the battle in the Boundless Realm is not optimistic, and the more urgent problem is how the War Alliance will fight next.

Currently, all armies are tallying personnel casualties; the reported figures are shocking. Alone among the War Alliance immortals, during the retreat

at least sixty-plus were sacrificed, and the wounded exceeded two hundred!

Two True Immortals were also wounded.

After the elemental power tide receded, the shortcoming of the War Alliance's high-end combat power became apparent, and they still had to cover the retreat of the main force. The situation of six or seven demon gods chasing one immortal to fight occurs frequently.

Moreover, this is only the situation on the Southeast Battlefield of Lingxu; there are three other battlefields. The other three route armies lack a stronghold as formidable as Mount Xushan, and after the elemental power recedes, they become even more passive.

Thanks to the main battlefield of the clash being the Southeast Gate, which attracted the vast majority of the demon gods' firepower.

If it were not for the demon gods' pursuit lacking method and being less efficient than human troops, and if it were not for the Nine Abyssal Great Emperor and Mou Di fully regulating, casualties would be far greater.

At this moment, another heavy piece of bad news was reported from below:

Just half a moment ago, a Cangyan squad encountered a demon god attack while fighting at the edge of Xishan, and two members died.

The key point is that, during the battle, they activated the ability to share damage.

Human law long ago canceled the divine ability to share or transfer damage between individuals; the only exception is elemental power.

The army's elemental power allows the team to share damage, thereby reducing the fatality rate.

But now, in this team, the two dead were killed by a single blow, and the others did not take over their damage, which clearly violates the elemental power law.

With the precedent of overall elemental power decline, everyone can easily infer:

The Lingxu Holy Sovereign has broken another branch of the elemental power law in the Boundless Realm!

This is truly adding frost to snow.

If the "share damage" clause of the elemental power law is also weakened, the War Alliance army's casualties will inevitably rise again in a straight line!

Everyone looked toward He Lingchuan, including Mou Di, wanting to hear the commander-in-chief's effective countermeasure.

He knows how to inspire troops; he has spent half his life doing this; and now the primary task is to comfort the immortals, especially the True Immortals, so they do not flee during the elemental power decline.

"Before the war, we already knew the Lingxu Holy Sovereign's purpose in invading the Boundless Realm was to destroy the elemental power laws." Speaking plainly, the War Alliance actually had preparations for the current situation, so there is nothing surprising about it, "Now elemental power is merely temporarily declining, not completely destroyed, which is our fortune."

"Now is the lowest point of elemental power, and also our lowest! You can also feel it, elemental power is beginning to recover from the bottom, and will be fully restored in a few hours." He Lingchuan first gave everyone reassurance, "As long as we hold the Mount Xushan base, after this elemental power low tide passes, we will immediately counterattack!"

Indeed, when the War Alliance broke through the Lingxu city walls, elemental power suddenly dropped; but during the withdrawal, it slowly rose again, and the immortals are very sensitive to their own strength's

rise and fall, and moreover, the color of elemental power is also slowly deepening.

This shows that Nine Abyss did not deceive people; elemental power can still recover.

So even someone like Que Yunzi, who likes to sing contrary tunes, now also pouted his lips, saying nothing.

During the earlier great retreat, Elder Pugu's right arm was destroyed, and he is now being treated with medicine beads. He is somewhat worried: "How did the Red General fare in battle in the Boundless Realm?"

He Lingchuan said in a deep voice: "She will always give her all."

The Red General's ability and determination are clear to everyone present. She is the most suitable person to storm into the Boundless Realm, even more so than the Nine Abyssal Great Emperor. Yet the immortals still find it hard to imagine how she could single-handedly challenge the Lingxu Holy Sovereign.

For her to single-handedly turn the tide is difficult; the immortals fundamentally cannot muster a blaming heart.

The immortals also worry: if the Red General cannot stop the Lingxu Holy Sovereign, what then of the ground war?

Elder Pugu changed his question: "If in subsequent battles, elemental power still fluctuates like this time, how should we respond?"

"As long as there are rises and falls, the fact is inevitably so for us—although it causes interference, it does not change the final outcome of victory or defeat!" He Lingchuan spoke each word with weight, "We will surely win!"

The War Alliance's retreat earlier, its embarrassment and danger, are still vivid before everyone's eyes; where does the Nine Abyssal Great Emperor's confidence come from? The immortals exchanged glances:

"How can we see that?"

"The Boundless Realm and the human realm cannot communicate, which means not only us, but even the demon gods inside and outside the Lingxu City do not know the real-time situation within the Boundless Realm, nor do they know the changes in world laws." He Lingchuan spoke eloquently, "But because of historical reasons, the Great Vase and I can still maintain a faint connection, which can help us seize the initiative in the upcoming battles. For I do not believe the Lingxu Holy Sovereign can fight in the Boundless Realm while still remotely controlling the ground war."

Even the Nine Abyssal Great Emperor cannot do this, so he and the Red General divided labor, one on land, one in heaven, each fighting separately.

Mou Di also said: "Furthermore, the coordination among demon gods, and between demon gods and the Lingxu City garrison, is very poor. In the situation where elemental power tide fluctuates unpredictably, this is their outstanding shortcoming, which we can repeatedly attack."

As expected of Mou Di, his strategic vision surpasses the immortals by a large margin. He Lingchuan clapped his hands: "Exactly!"

Yuanling muttered: "Originally a huge problem, but coming from your mouth it sounds like the advantage is ours."

The immortals all felt the same. For the War Alliance, the decline of elemental power is no less than a catastrophe like the sky falling; now, after hearing Nine Abyss's analysis, it seems merely a temporary difficulty, and everyone feels capable again.

Zhu Xiuer and Dong Rui stood aside, smiling silently. The Nine Abyss's painted pie, this group still hasn't eaten enough of it.

He Lingchuan gave them both a gloomy look. This is not painting a pie; this is boosting morale, this is instilling belief.
