Chapter 3159: The Fierce Red General

Now Lingxu Shengzun released three avatars, each dealing with one of the three great demon god puppets, while he himself fought the Red General alone.

The power of the five peerless masters was indescribable; the deck of the ark seemed to have been plowed over and over, with hardly any intact area left.

But Zhao Mantu Dazhaman still noticed that Tongming Zhenjun's gravitational field had somehow become ineffective!

It could no longer affect Lingxu Shengzun's actions.

Indeed, after all, the ark is Lingxu Shengzun's territory, and the main laws here are dictated by him.

At that very moment during their conversation, the horde of aberrant beasts charging toward Panlong City underwent a change.

First, their speed increased; even after passing through Tongming Zhenjun's gravitational field, their steps were no longer staggered as before, but began to become light and agile—this shows they have already adapted to Tongming Zhenjun's divine innate power.

Moreover, the latest batches of aberrant beasts have become increasingly thick-skinned and muscular, and have evolved into extremely fast breeds. Undoubtedly, this is imitating the traits of Ying Ze Tian and his two brothers, then deployed to deal with the aquatic creatures in the river.

There are also many other changes, all targeting the god puppets summoned by the Red General.

Lingxu Shengzun did not engage in verbal sparring with her; actual action was his best response.

As everyone knows, evolution consumes vast amounts of life force.

Therefore, he has both the ability and patience to evolve countermeasures tailored to the god puppets' traits.

Because he is immensely wealthy and powerful, the life energy in his hands is inexhaustible.

This is a battle of laws, and also a psychological one. Others who reach this point, facing Lingxu Shengzun's bottomless abyss-like presence, may already have their mental defenses collapse.

But who is the Red General? She has never been truly defeated in two lifetimes.

She merely gave a cold laugh: "Your life god's prideful evolutionary power? Come on, let me see how your creations will adapt to these dozens of demon gods' divine innate powers."

No matter how strong the Red General's divine power, after all she fights alone; even with myriad methods, her root is driven by death force. Lingxu Shengzun can target this point for life evolution.

But now dozens of demon gods have appeared out of thin air, each with their own strange abilities; Lingxu Shengzun must not only fully comprehend their innate powers, but also evolve corresponding tactics—who knows how much energy this will consume!

Zhao Mantu couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, this is also a good way to drain the opponent's life force.

Lingxu Shengzun himself once said that in ancient times before the primordial era, the Three Holy Gods enslaved the entire heavenly realm, and the Death Ancient God would capture demons who opposed and defied him, refining them into god puppets.

Where are these god puppets usually hidden?

The Great Shaman looked toward the red mist drifting valley inside the great cauldron, that is, the Void Land, where various kinds of small trees grow abundantly.

Long ago, after Hundun swallowed the fallen heaven's avatar, he planted him as a tree.

Moreover, after the Great Shaman entered, he realized that the internal space of the great cauldron actually largely draws inspiration from Lady Lady Lady Mitian's Death God Kingdom.

Therefore, these many small trees in the great cauldron might just be the god puppets once crafted by the Death Ancient God!

He Lingchuan once said that from the moment he first discovered that demon souls could take root and grow into trees in the mist valley, he was astonished by the number of trees in the mist valley and curious about their origin.

Now thinking about it, they did not appear out of nowhere.

Lingxu Shengzun was not wrong on one point: the means by which the Three Holy Gods suppressed the demons were indeed extremely cruel.

Lady Lady Lady Mitian has long wanted to take revenge on Lingxu Shengzun, but suffered from lacking a suitable opportunity, so he carefully preserved the god puppets in the Death God Kingdom. The Red General releasing them also counts as fulfilling one of Lady Lady Lady Mitian's last wishes.

The entire field fell silent.

Lingxu Shengzun said nothing; he probably didn't expect Lady Lady Lady Mitian still had this trick. However, the relentless assault of the aberrant beasts across mountains and fields continued without pause.

Zhao Mantu Dazhaman suddenly said: "The time has come!"

Behind the Red General and all the god puppets, there is a constantly counting-down divine pattern:

The Seal-Order Divine Pattern of Jia Lou Tian!

Every time they clash with Lingxu Shengzun, they accumulate energy for the Seal-Order Divine Pattern. The fiercer the battle, the slower the pattern moves clockwise!

Under Zhao Mantu's gaze, the two large triangles on the outer edge of the Seal-Order Divine Pattern remained still.

Energy fully accumulated!

The Red General gave a deep-voiced command: "Slash!"

Bai Zhantian's last two axe strikes were unleashed, just as Jia Lou Tian's Seal-Order Divine Pattern lost order and erupted, delivering all the accumulated energy to Bai Zhantian.

These two strikes instead came silently—one axe struck before the vine giant, the other behind it. Though they did not directly hit the enemy, they seemed to separate it from the space before and after.

"Time-Slash!"

This is Bai Zhantian's strongest ultimate technique, capable of trapping prey alone within a flow of time. Though the time is extremely short, within two breaths, the enemy will be imprisoned in a spacetime cage, unable to go anywhere.

After these two strikes, Bai Zhantian's steps also staggered slightly. These divine technique slashes consume enormous energy; in life, he dared not use them so frequently. But now he is merely a god puppet, existing only to serve his master's needs.

The Red General also threw two blooming crystal orchids to him.

Bai Zhantian caught them and swallowed them in one gulp.

The orchids contained energy absorbed from the ark; when the death god's puppet consumes it, it is equivalent to a great tonic.

Only then did Bai Zhantian have the strength to deliver his final strike:

Void-Slash!

Lingxu Shengzun and the vine giant were trapped in the spacetime cage, unable to dodge this slash that triggered a black hole.

They remained in a patch of darkness, silently annihilated.

After delivering this slash, Bai Zhantian likewise exhausted his strength, turning into a red light that flew back into the mist valley. Only after recharging does he get a chance to emerge and assist in battle.

The Red General also let out a long breath, similarly consuming several crystal orchids.

Zhao Mantu Dazhaman suddenly transmitted to her: "The growth speed of the ark meadow and the frequency of aberrant beast appearances have both slowed down!"

As if confirming his words, after more than ten breaths, Lingxu Shengzun's figure reappeared in the ark.

Before his life force is exhausted, he is effectively immortal; but the Red General slowed his rebirth speed, meaning Lingxu Shengzun's life force is no longer as abundant as it was at the beginning.

Why did the Red General insist on using Bai Zhantian to counter the vine giant? Because through the Death God's Eye, she observed that this giant's life force is astonishingly abundant—nearly the sum of all Lingxu Shengzun's previously summoned entities.

No, even more!

Lingxu Shengzun expended vast life force to create this thing—not only as a mobile fortress, but it also possesses many divine powers. The Red General anticipated it would not be easy to deal with, so before it could unleash its true power, she used Bai Zhantian's three axe strikes to send it straight to the underworld.
