Chapter 701: Failed Attempt

This was a must-have item for a Void Realm hunter, originally used to offset the four times gravity of the Void Realm, with a duration of only a short few dozen breaths. Now that He Lingchuan was using it in his own realm, his body suddenly felt light and agile, walking as if floating, and temporarily not sinking down.

Of course, with gravity suddenly changing, the speed and force of his sword strikes would definitely change accordingly. Fortunately, he had practiced during his prior rehearsals, so he wouldn't make any embarrassing mistakes at this time.

A glazed creature shaped like a giant crocodile suddenly lunged from below, three feet long, not inferior to a real giant crocodile.

He Lingchuan had just finished applying the protective talisman when he saw a bloody basin-like mouth and dozens of cone-shaped sharp teeth appear before his eyes. He tilted his body, holding the Soul-Sucking Mirror in his left hand as a shield, and smashed it fiercely into its chin.

With a "clang," the giant crocodile's mouth was knocked crooked, its massive body tilted, and it fell heavily back onto the star ring.

But He Lingchuan was also pushed back by a foot, his body sinking, submerged up to his calves.

This was truly difficult to walk; how could he fight if he couldn't even stand? "Watch out below!" the mirror prompted.

A glazed monster shaped like a swordfish was sneaking toward directly beneath him, and He Lingchuan didn't need to look down to know it wanted to make him into a skewer.

Even if he died, he didn't want to die like that. He Lingchuan didn't have time to curse, hurriedly grabbed something, and stuffed it into the "quagmire" under his feet.

This was an oval black stone, shaped like a heart, with red light faintly showing through the cracks on its surface.

In less than a blink of an eye, it turned into a black stone man one foot tall, full of small honeycomb-shaped holes, each hole still spitting out fire sparks.

It appeared a step earlier than the glazed swordfish, naturally carrying He Lingchuan on its forehead.

The swordfish happened to accelerate from bottom to top, flying out of the glazed quagmire, and stabbed accurately, steadily, and ruthlessly into the stone man's crotch.

He Lingchuan let out a "hiss" at the sight, clamped his legs, and felt his scalp go numb. Fortunately, he reacted quickly! Crack, several stone pieces were pried off the stone man.

But that was all; it didn't hurt.

The swordfish struggled twice and fell back to the star ring dejectedly.

This was the stone seed gifted to He Lingchuan by Zu Ju, which could turn into Zu Ju's small rock-fire avatar in a critical moment.

He Lingchuan hadn't expected that he would reach a "critical moment" as soon as he entered the array eye, forced to use the stone seed.

Like Zu Ju, restricted by the Spirit Gathering Array, this thing couldn't attack anything in the Tiangong.

It couldn't "attack," but passive defense was still okay, like acting as a qualified shield.

Zu Ju had been watching this battlefield all along; an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, its grasp of the chaotic situation and precision of enemy-dealing methods were far stronger than He Lingchuan's.

More monsters arrived one after another.

He Lingchuan rode on the black stone man's neck, pulled out Floating Life, and slashed off two in a row. These two monsters weren't as insidious as the swordfish and easily lost their fish heads.

With a foothold, there was room to maneuver, and his sword strikes were fast and ruthless.

The mirror suddenly called out: "They can't grow back!"

He Lingchuan responded: "I see."

The giant crocodile and swordfish that had snuck up on him circled around the star ring and came back, while the glazed monsters he had slashed into two pieces didn't reintegrate after falling back, but were struggling in the star ring, looking extremely painful.

The characteristic of Floating Life being good at slashing "formless" things was still formidable.

The other monsters seemed to have lingering fears after seeing this, and their attacks on He Lingchuan were no longer fierce, changing to acting according to circumstances.

Commonly known as slacking off.

The threat from beneath his feet had just eased when red light flashed at the far end of the star ring, followed by many guards rushing out!

As expected, the Star-Plucking Tower sent people over immediately.

A layer of faint light covered their bodies, clearly unaffected by the strange state of the star ring, and they could walk like flying on the softened glazed ground; those strange-looking glazed creatures didn't even look at them.

Their goal was consistent: He Lingchuan.

Heh, wanting to bully the few with the many? He Lingchuan threw out a crimson amber, which turned into a dozen black spiders the size of sheep before it even landed.

This was his bottom-of-the-box secret technique: Zhu Xiuer's spider blood amber.

Originally, according to the incantation Zhu Xiuer taught him, this kind of amber could only turn into three blood-tooth guards. But considering the complex and intricate battle situation today, the Eyeball Spider taught all other usages to He Lingchuan together.

One of them was to disperse the demon power in the amber and simulate a spider squad, instead of the original three major blood-tooth guards.

Although the ability allocated to each was weakened, it was better for dealing with group battles.

Having encountered dangers one after another in the Beijia Nation these past few months, He Lingchuan had only used a spider blood amber when fighting Fan Sheng.

With the situation critical, this was not the time to hide his clumsiness.

As soon as these spiders appeared, they squeaked from being scalded by the high temperature of the glaze. Fortunately, Zhu Xiuer was a prehistoric great demon, and she didn't know how many harsh environments she had dealt with; each spider's feet immediately wrapped in a layer of hard keratin, with excellent heat insulation.

Of course, this still couldn't completely block the high-temperature invasion of the glaze, so they poured a large amount of air into their claws. This was like a temporary air cushion, not only insulating heat but also helping them run on the sticky glazed sea without sinking.

A dozen spiders rushed forward, spraying acid and spider webs at the guards.

As for the monsters in the glazed sea, they always avoided them, as if they knew their attacks were ineffective against these things.

In the blink of an eye, two guards were sprayed down by the spider webs.

This web was extremely soft and tough, and it was four layers stacked; even though they had Yuan power, they had to cut hard several times.

He Lingchuan turned over, jumped onto the back of a spider, and the latter stretched out eight long legs, actually climbing onto the two captives, grabbing one of them, and throwing it fiercely toward the large round ball in the middle of the star ring, which was the transparent prison confining Zhu Xiuer's immortal slough.

Everyone watched as the captive smashed into the round ball. Only a "chi" explosion sounded, electric light flashed, and this guard exploded into a mist of blood.

"Holy crap!" He Lingchuan couldn't help but curse. This large round ball looked unremarkable and didn't conduct electricity, but it was secretly attached with such a fierce array; that was intentional to trap people. "Lei Chi!"

If he hadn't heard the saying "Lei Chi" from Zaifu Kua and Zu Ju early on, he would have flinched at this moment.

Piu, another spider guard shot a poison nail at the round ball.

The next instant, the poison needle was bounced back, its speed more than doubled.

The spider guard dodged it, and the poison needle happened to hit another enemy behind it. This guy fell without a sound, his whole body stiff, and there were still a few electric arcs flashing on his body.

The name Lei Chi was truly misleading, making people think it was a large body of water. In reality, it referred to the surface of that glazed large round cover in the center of the star ring, which was completely covered by extremely strong thunder and lightning, without any dead ends! But there was also good news here: the Tiangong guards could walk on the surface of the star ring and could avoid the attacks of glazed monsters, but they couldn't avoid the thunder.

Perhaps because thunder-avoiding magic artifacts were rare, and the power of the "Lei Chi" was too great?

He Lingchuan let the spider guard step on the remaining captive, using him as a springboard, and jumped high with a fierce force! The amber spider guards of Zhu Xiuer possessed almost all the special skills of cave spider varieties; besides spitting silk, weaving webs, spraying acid, and walking on water, the excellent jumping ability of jumping spiders was also indispensable.

That unlucky guy was stepped into the glazed sea, the red light on his body shattered with a "po" sound, and he was scalded to death alive while screaming! And the spider guard made a high jump, spanning a distance of three feet, and landed directly on the star ring, less than three feet away from the glazed cover.

He Lingchuan had a thunder-avoiding talisman, but the spider guard didn't, so it had to be careful.

Guards were still rushing over in an endless stream, and even a few powerful monsters rushed in; these few spider guards couldn't hold on for long.

Time was precious; He Lingchuan didn't say a word, took out "Zhu Xiuer's Eye Socket," and started blowing.

Yes, it was that Xun (a musical instrument). Although it had nine holes, Zhu Xiuer personally sealed one hole and told He Lingchuan to open the last hole after finding her spider slough.

He Lingchuan waited and waited, finally waiting for this moment! He didn't forget to uncover the seal of the ninth hole.

Strange to say, this Xun usually had a great tone, and He Lingchuan could already blow it with emotion. But now that all ten holes were open, no matter how he blew, he could only blow out a "hissing" sound.

Like a snake flicking its tongue, like a cat hissing, but He Lingchuan, who had heard the roar of the cave spider, knew that this was the sound made by Zhu Xiuer!

And then? He was full of expectation, waiting for reinforcements to arrive from the sky.

Having rushed here through all kinds of hardships, Zhu Xiuer should also exert some effort, right?

However, there was none.

The immortal slough in the glazed round ball remained motionless.

The little spider jumped up and down on his shoulder, meaning it was too far from the spider slough, to get closer, closer.

He Lingchuan cursed.

Sure enough, it wasn't that simple.

Tried it, failed.

He wasn't discouraged either, grabbed the special ice talisman from Li Qingge, and threw it toward the round cover.

This was refined from the "Frost Pill" produced by the Void Realm beast, and its effectiveness was more than a notch stronger than an ordinary ice talisman. To deal with liquid flowing glazed gold, only this would do. In order to dig those few "Frost Pills," He Lingchuan almost gave his life in the Void Realm.

With a light "bang," the ice talisman didn't take effect, but was bounced away by the glazed cover.

The reflection array was running.

And while the ice talisman was thrown out, it was directly exploded into a ball of ice shards—

The power of the Lei Chi was activated.

"Uh..." He Lingchuan was sluggish. "No way?"

For the ice talisman to take effect, it first had to stick to the glazed cover;

But the glazed cover had a reflection array and the power of the Lei Chi, not allowing anything to get close at all! The ice talisman couldn't take effect; how was he supposed to handle this glazed cover?! With the double BUFF stacked, this was an infinite dead loop. The problem was, he didn't have time! The spider guards couldn't hold on for long, and the enemies were rushing over rapidly.
