Chapter 3160: All Living Things Wither Because of You

If Bai Zhan Tian were still alive, it would be impossible to follow a Spacetime Slash with a Void Slash—this would be courting death. However, the Red General kept pouring deathly power into it, and Jia Lou Tian arranged for the detonation of the Order Divine Seal, which is why Bai Zhan Tian managed such an extraordinary performance.

Fifteen minutes later, Ling Xu Sheng Zun was struck down again.

The Red General even had time to swallow a few crystal orchids, take a few sips of clear water from the kettle, and wait for the next round of battle.

Although Bai Zhan Tian had already returned to Mist Valley, she was missing one of her top generals, yet this round the Red General fought even more easily, because her elemental power had recovered!

The first elemental power branch severed by the armored insect had finally been repaired!

The elemental power on the Red General's body returned to a deep purple-red.

As for the second elemental power branch severed by the armored insect, though it was still not fully repaired, it had no effect on the Red General's combat ability.

At this moment, the Red General also summoned Hai Huang Xuan Du ashore. Among all the divine puppets, only it was originally a true immortal of the mortal realm and could accept the Red General's elemental power allocation.

Half a quarter-hour later, Ling Xu Sheng Zun was shattered once more.

Then came the next time, and the next after that—no matter how many variations Ling Xu Sheng Zun summoned.

The intervals between its resurrections grew longer, and the ground of the ark began to sprout crystal orchids, signifying the erosion and spread of deathly power.

While the Red General battled Ling Xu Sheng Zun without cease, within the Boundless Realm, the Great Square Vase was not idle.

Now the Great Square Vase had merged with the Death Divine Seal. Though the Red General fought inside the vase, her control over the Death Divine Seal remained as smooth as ever.

Taking advantage of the armored insect's impaired mobility, the chaotic form evolved from the Great Square Vase sprouted another seven or eight chains on its body, like an octopus, tightly binding the armored insect.

If someone could stand at a distance and observe, they would see that the chaotic form's hunting of the armored insect resembled a spider binding its prey.

Without exception, these chains could still penetrate the armored insect's interior, preventing it from easily breaking free. Then, the chaos opened its maw, preparing to devour the armored insect bit by bit into its belly.

As Ling Xu Sheng Zun said, fighting an opponent within the Life Divine Seal was truly at a disadvantage, so the Red General planned to shift the battlefield to her own turf.

However, even if she returned to the Great Square Vase, Ling Xu Sheng Zun would certainly not follow. Thus, she settled for second best, wanting the Great Square Vase to directly swallow the armored insect into its belly.

What she relied on was the fact that this divine artifact, the Great Square Vase, had passed through the hands of countless immortals and demons across the two realms, each bestowing blessings upon it, and it had once nurtured the laws of elemental power—thus it was itself a supreme divine artifact.

Meanwhile, the fusion of Ling Xu Sheng Zun's Life Divine Seal with the heart-core of the small world, which had only just been recently cultivated, in terms of maturity and resilience, should be far inferior to the Great Square Vase.

This was a contest between divine artifact and divine artifact, world heart-core and world heart-core. The Red General had confidence that the Great Square Vase would certainly not lose in this regard!

Her only regret was that the chaos, which had originally roamed the endless red sea within the Great Square Vase, had already become law within the Boundless Realm; otherwise, having that massive entity assist her would have made this battle much easier.

Fortunately, there was the piercing power contributed last by Zhao Man Du, the Great Shaman, which allowed the Nebula Chains to easily pierce and bind the armored insect. The Nebula Chains' obvious non-conformity to this realm's laws made it unsurprising that the armored insect could not resist them.

At the same time, one snow-white crystal orchid after another bloomed on the armored insect's body. These were flowers cultivated by the Death God. Their appearance signified that the armored insect's vitality—that is, the power of the Life Divine Seal—was being continuously drained by the Great Square Vase through the Nebula Chains!

A thought to kill—this was originally the Death God's forte. However, the energy of the Life Divine Seal was too overwhelming, and the Great Square Vase could not drain it all at once.

But the chaos manifested by the Great Square Vase consequently swelled in size, rapidly approaching three times that of the armored insect. If this continued, wrapping the insect in its form would merely be a matter of time.

On both fronts of battle, our side showed signs of gaining the upper hand. The Great Shaman on the city wall watched with a heart full of excitement, and the new idea that had just occurred to him was something he had never dared to imagine before:

If this continued, even if Ling Xu Sheng Zun's vitality were abundant, it might possibly be exhausted!

Could it be, could it be that the Red General truly can defeat Ling Xu Sheng Zun?

Will the War Alliance win?

At this moment, Ling Xu Sheng Zun was reborn once more inside the ark. It dodged Jia Lou Tian's strike, its eyes flashing with a cruel light, and suddenly exhaled and spoke: "You are more extreme than Mi Tian—excellent! All billions of mortal beings shall wither because of you!"

It extended its left hand, lightly snapped its fingers, and the Life Divine Seal insignia on its shoulder began to spin rapidly.

Since He Lingchuan led the army back to Mount Xushan, four hours had already passed.

This could be called the most difficult four hours for the War Alliance since the Battle of Bei Jia began two months ago. The low ebb of elemental power caused the War Alliance's main force to feel weak and powerless when facing the demon attacks. The defensive main force of Mount Xushan naturally shifted to true immortals, heavenly immortals, great demons, and a vast number of cultivators.

Meanwhile, the balance of attack and defense on the battlefield had shifted—the demons had become the primary aggressors.

Ling Xu Sheng Zun was still in the Boundless Realm, so the overall ground command of the demon forces was carried out by He Lu Tian as a substitute.

He absorbed the lessons from previous battles where various forces had been broken on the battlefield, no longer greedy for merit or reckless in advance, but instead divided the seventeen great demons into

three attack groups, each equipped with five to six great demons, and commanding two thousand demons.

Placed in the mortal realm, the configuration of each group was nearly unstoppable; initially, it indeed caused heavy casualties to Mount Xushan, with immortals falling like meteors.

During the elemental power low tide, the demons' vast numbers became an important weight in shifting the balance of war.

He Lingchuan immediately adjusted his strategy, likewise dividing the War Alliance's elite forces into three groups—himself and Qing Lin in one group, the remaining true immortals split into two groups, each leading seven hundred immortals to everywhere resist the demon attacks.

Under conditions of manpower shortage and severe imbalance in combat strength, these four hours could be described as feeling like years.

In this battle, both sides compared deployment, compared patience, compared decision-making, compared control of timing—and these happened to be the strong suits of the Nine Abysses Great Emperor.

Since unifying the Shan Jin Plains, He Lingchuan had never fought such a difficult large-scale engagement again. His task was to do his best to shield the War Alliance's disadvantages and strive to amplify his own side's advantages.

For example, the War Alliance possessed the Great Fire Spirit and Earth Mother—these two innate earth-nurtured spiritual entities had astonishing cooperative combat ability in facing large-scale demon attacks; most of the gaps were filled by them, otherwise the War Alliance's heavenly immortals would long have collapsed.

Furthermore, the Mount Xushan domain prohibited enemy flight and evasion, but the War Alliance's cultivators could come and go freely, evading for a hundred li, their mobility maximized. The commanders of the Black Armor Army and Great Wind Army could still inflict considerable damage on the demons.
