Chapter 704: Great Divine Power

The Du Yun Chief frowned, the crisis of the Tiangong this time was truly inexplicable. Characters appeared on the Heavenly Book again: "The spider demon has the power of a half-immortal, Xiao Ri is no match. Quickly prepare the skin of the Hundred-Battle Heaven."

Bai Ziqi immediately said: "Hundred-Battle Heaven Venerable? I'm afraid that skin is not very suitable for the Hundred-Battle Heaven Venerable..."

The Du Yun Chief waved his hand to interrupt him: "Prepare it immediately!" It was already at this point, what did it matter if it was suitable or not, as long as it could be used!

"Yes."

The Du Yun Chief added: "Contact the Emperor, we need more Yuan power support!"

The strong enemy this time was no joke, a rock-fire giant monster that had broken free, and a spider demon, both were at the half-immortal level.

Immortals had disappeared for more than two thousand years, and as soon as they appeared, there were two!

The Tiangong was caught off guard and unprepared, so it had to use its own strengths at this time.

Beijia was so powerful, and the abundance of Yuan power was rare in the world, so when else would it be used if not now? However, in Lingxu City, the ones who could freely allocate Yuan power were not the Tiangong, but the Emperor and the Four Great State Preceptors.

Tonight, the sudden change at Mount Xushan woke up the entire Lingxu City, and the Emperor would also send troops to rush here.

Zhu Xiuer went straight to the teleportation array as soon as it came out. It was tall and long-legged, arriving in two steps; the guards on the side wanted to attack it, but unfortunately, the demon immortal body was overly hard, and they hacked and slashed with all their might, but couldn't even chop off two stiff hairs.

Zhu Xiuer just withstood their attacks, fiercely scraping the teleportation array on the ground, making the reinforcements on the ground unable to rush over.

Now there were more than thirty Tiangong guards on the star ring, and He Lingchuan couldn't support it alone, so he simply hid under the giant spider's belly. If others wanted to attack him, they first had to pass the eight big long legs of Zhu Xiuer.

Those eight legs were eight super-sized wolf-tooth clubs, and could also fire steel needles; no one wanted to get close.

The so-called "many ants biting an elephant to death," Zhu Xiuer was besieged by dozens of Yuan power attacks, also feeling very uncomfortable, so its thick belly sank, giving birth to a white egg sac.

"Hey!" Fortunately, He Lingchuan dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been hit accurately on the head.

Ever since he traveled to this world, he had been exceptionally vigilant about falling objects from high altitude.

Seeing that the egg sac was bulging and moving, as if something was about to come out, he took advantage of the busy time to slash with the Floating Life blade—

A cave spider rushed out from inside, and after coming out, it didn't rest, pouncing toward the enemies behind his side.

Although this egg sac was only the size of a round table, it was like a production line machine, with one cave spider after another climbing out bravely, each body size equivalent to an adult wild boar; that kind of dense, it was simply a nightmare for patients with dense phobia.

He Lingchuan made a rough calculation, and more than two hundred cave spiders climbed out one after another! Each one had colorful patterns on its body, thick legs, and sharp chelicerae, clearly specially adjusted enhanced versions.

These ancient demon immortal means were truly unfathomable. But he had received Zhu Xiuer's blood amber, since one amber could turn into three blood-tooth guards, and into more than a dozen spider guards, then summoning a spider army with one egg sac didn't seem too out of line, ha?

With the joining of this spider army, the thirty Tiangong guards were immediately at a disadvantage, with a siege ratio as high as seven to one. Even with Yuan power, it was hard for two hands to fight fifty-six claws.

Everywhere was slaughter and screams, and Zhu Xiuer lowered its head to look at He Lingchuan: "Very good, you actually completed my entrustment!"

Its entrustment in the swamp was just a tentative attempt; it hadn't expected this boy to really be able to snatch its immortal slough, and that too amidst the heavy restrictions of the Tiangong! "I didn't disgrace the mission." He Lingchuan shook off the blood on the Floating Life blade. "The difficulty hasn't passed, it's not time to leave yet."

Zhu Xiuer looked around; the Tiangong guards were being besieged by its spider army, and two who didn't care about their lives rushed toward He Lingchuan, only to be flicked by Zhu Xiuer's legs and thrown directly down the mountain.

"What to do now?"

"Wait for the rabbit!" He Lingchuan looked around. "I hope my inference is wrong."

Fang Canran had mentioned to him that five years ago, an old collector contacted Dun Garden, wanting to auction a rare treasure, which also had a star map that was naturally formed.

Like an auction house with a reputation like Dun Garden, it would usually maintain communication with many dignitaries and treasure collectors, helping treasures circulate in the upper-class circles.

Fang Canran was waiting for the treasure to be sent over for valuation, but didn't know why the other party suddenly didn't want to sell it, and kept silent about the reason.

Fang Canran remembered this matter vividly, and He Lingchuan was also very concerned after hearing it.

Where did this treasure go? Could it be...? "Rabbit?" Zhu Xiuer urged. "Time is precious, you wouldn't wait here all night, would you?"

Even if it had recovered its demon immortal body now, it didn't have the confidence to fight against the entire Lingxu alone.

What it should do most now was to flee Beijia quickly.

Mount Xushan was north of Lingxu City; if it ran faster, maybe it could escape before the Lingxu army arrived. Having finally retrieved the immortal slough, it didn't want to use up all its power at once.

The Eyeball Spider jumped back onto it and engaged in close communication with its original master.

A strong wind suddenly blew all around, and more than a dozen spiders and several guards standing on the edge of the star ring were blown down without noticing.

He Lingchuan stuck his blade into the star ring to fix himself, so as not to be blown away by the strong wind.

His hair was all messed up by the wind, but his face was exceptionally solemn: "Not good, something is coming out of the void."

The suppression ring on its neck was already full of cracks; Zu Ju struggled lightly, and it shattered into slag! Zu Ju let out a long roar, feeling refreshed.

Suppressed by the Spirit Gathering Array for more than ten years, tonight, it was finally liberated! Its body suddenly magnified several times, standing straight and almost shoulder-to-shoulder with the Tianxuan Shanfeng. The guards in the Star-Plucking Tower saw this and subconsciously took a few steps back in shock.

This was its true body, a monster born from the earth fire of Mount Xushan, with flames steaming all over its body.

Usually, it would shrink its body and sleep for years to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

But today it wanted to exert all its strength and do a big job.

Zu Ju made a covenant with He Lingchuan against the oath shackles; He Lingchuan helped it break free, and it had to help He Lingchuan bombard the Tiangong and seize the divine object.

Now He Lingchuan had perfectly completed his task, and the baton was passed to Zu Ju.

At this time, the bell of Mount Xushan was urgent and loud, but it was no longer a threat to it.

The days of being suppressed, being ordered around, and being bullied were finally all over!

The guards on the peak fired arrows and divine abilities at the rock-fire monster one after another; although not fatal, the Yuan power attached to them made Zu Ju feel like it was being pricked by needles, which was also very painful.

This bunch of little things always jumped around on its forehead, and Zu Ju had long hated them to death. At this moment, it swept over with one palm, and half the mountain top was flattened.

Under its immensely powerful force, the buildings of all sizes on the mountain were like cakes, pulled apart in one go.

Buildings, hard rocks, broken wood, and burning people fell down the cliff one after another.

That scene was both spectacular and tragic.

The Star-Plucking Tower was originally located on the crater; after Zu Ju went berserk, it drove the magma to erupt violently, and tens of thousands of tons of magma and volcanic debris flew into the high sky, exploding into red light all over the pitch-black night sky!

The Tiangong guards from the Chongyang Hall rushed over, but the magma erupted from the crater was like cannonballs, and the mountain road of dozens of feet was filled with artillery fire, making it impossible for anyone to rush up.

Fortunately, everyone had Yuan power to protect their bodies, otherwise the toxic gas brought out by the volcanic eruption would have knocked down a large area in one go.

The mountain swamp monster of Mount Xushan had come for revenge, and the consequences were very serious.

The eruption of the Tianxuan Shanfeng illuminated the entire night sky, and the residents in the north of Lingxu City could see it clearly.

The rumbling sound shook the earth.

The so-called collapse of mountains and splitting of the earth was probably nothing more than this.

The entire Lingxu City woke up from their dreams, and terrified people ran out of their homes to see what was happening, only to see red light all over the sky in the north, as if they had returned to the night of the great earthquake more than ten years ago.

Zu Ju bathed in the lava pool, its red light even more intense; as soon as it climbed up, it threw two heavy punches, directly exploding the teleportation tower next to the Chongyang Hall! The teleportation array up and down the Tianxuan Shanfeng was scrapped.

If the ground garrison camp wanted to support the Tiangong, they could only climb up on their legs.

After cutting off the Tiangong's reinforcement line, Zu Ju turned to bombard the Star-Plucking Tower.

What Heavenly God's earthly residence! It had long found this broken building unpleasant to the eye.

However, the Star-Plucking Tower didn't fall apart like the guard camp on the Kaiyang Shanfeng; in fact, Zu Ju's fist, more than five feet wide, hadn't hit the tiles yet, when a layer of thin light lit up outside the Star-Plucking Tower, hard blocking this terrifying strike.

Barrier.

Barrier.

But the barrier in front of its eyes, although swaying, blocked all attacks, and the Star-Plucking Tower still stood tall.

How immensely powerful was the Yuan power of Beijia; resisting the attack of a great demon like Zu Ju seemed to be a matter of course.

The attack was ineffective, but a flash of cunning appeared in Zu Ju's eyes, and it threw another punch.

This time, the target of its attack was not the Star-Plucking Tower, but the Tianxuan Shanfeng beneath it! After its dozen or so punches, the barrier was fine, but the ground outside the Star-Plucking Tower cracked.

The barrier only protected the building, not the entire mountain peak.

This setting was very reasonable, because invaders usually only attacked the main hall; where would they have the ability to break the mountain peak?

It just so happened that today, the mountain swamp monster of Mount Xushan had betrayed them.

The barrier unloaded its power and transferred it to the entire Tianxuan Shanfeng to bear.

But the problem was, the power of the mountain swamp monster was unique.

The resonance it caused in the mountain body made the Tianxuan Shanfeng tremble.

With two cracks, as if the sound of tearing silk had been magnified countless times, the northwest corner of the mountain rock where the Star-Plucking Tower stood collapsed.

Zu Ju laughed proudly and smashed its fist into the mountain root again.

Anyone with eyes could see that it actually wanted to break the rock peak beneath the Star-Plucking Tower, and press this Heavenly God's residence into the lava pool! By then, in the world of high temperature and rock fire, how long could the Star-Plucking Tower persist? What barrier, what array, what restriction, all would have to be defeated in the infinite erosion of the earth fire.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it actually wanted to break the rock peak beneath the Star-Plucking Tower and press this Heavenly God's residence entirely into the magma pool! By then, in a world of high temperature and volcanic fire, how long could the Star-Plucking Tower hold out? Whatever barriers, whatever arrays, whatever restrictions—all would be defeated in the infinite erosion of the earth fire.
