Chapter 712: Descent of the Heavenly God (Update, seeking monthly tickets)

He Lingchuan immediately pointed out the direction to Zhu Xiuer. This big spider drifted back and forth among the mountains, its massive form seemingly weightless, and its speed was no slower than a flying bird. It gave He Lingchuan a vivid lesson on how to play with spider silk.

But in fact, Zhu Xiuer's speed was more than a notch slower than its peak period.

On one hand, it only borrowed the remaining power in the spider remains and didn't reach the level of its prime at all.

On the other hand, the spiritual rain summoned by National Master Qingyang had a great bonus for the Tiangong guards, but it had a delaying and slowing effect on other monsters, and even demon immortals like Zhu Xiuer couldn't be spared.

The spiritual rain dripping on the ground was like bird-catching glue, too sticky, greatly slowing down its speed.

This was the wonderful use of primordial power: strengthening oneself and overcoming the enemy.

National Master Qingyang judged that they would retreat sooner or later, so she left a hand of delaying technique to buy time for her side.

He Lingchuan could hear the big spider's muttering curses, about damn humans, about god-damned primordial power.

The Ju Ju also liked to curse these two sentences.

At this time, at the bottom of the magma pool, the base stone of the shrine had been melted, and only the barrier protected the entire shrine.

But surrounded by boundless earth fire, its energy was consumed rapidly.

After all, the purpose for which it was designed was only to prevent outsiders from breaking into the shrine, not to withstand the erosion of the Earth Core True Fire! The Abyss-Sinking beast was fighting at the bottom of the magma pool while distracted to search for the shrine.

If this thing was lost, how could the Tiangong search for the Great Fang Hu in the future? But this was the Ju Ju's home field, with red and dazzling magma everywhere, and visibility was very low. Further down, it was pitch black.

It was distracted, and was immediately beaten violently by the Ju Ju.

The Abyss-Sinking beast finally caught a glimpse of the shrine, and just as it was about to pounce, the Ju Ju kicked it flying far away.

The fighting at the bottom of the magma pool was fierce. In the Star-Plucking Pavilion, Chief Envoy Du Yun's body trembled, his eyelids moving constantly, and everyone was very worried.

The Abyss-Sinking beast's mind was crazy, and it was very difficult for Chief Envoy Du Yun to control it. The more it threw itself into fierce fighting, the higher the Abyss-Sinking beast's instinctive resistance became.

If someone else came, I'm afraid they would have been torn to pieces on the spot in the Abyss-Sinking beast's sea of consciousness.

Blood began to flow from under Chief Envoy Du Yun's nose, and the lamp-tending envoys carefully wiped it away.

At this time, Bai Ziqi rushed to the scene and asked urgently: "Where are the invaders and the spider immortal?"

His subordinates replied: "Searching."

The Tiangong guards scattered, and there were bird demons circling, searching everywhere.

National Master Qingyang summoned a strong wind, blowing away the thick fog in the valley in an instant. The Ju Ju had already burrowed underground and no longer generated new fog, so the area around Tianchu Peak soon returned to clarity.

Everywhere were broken tiles and walls, everywhere were broken trees and peaks.

A mess.

The Star-Plucking Pavilion, which originally had a majestic atmosphere, now only had the side hall intact, and the rest had turned into scorched gravel.

But the surrounding mountains and forests were quiet, and there was no trace of the invaders.

A lamp-tending envoy whispered: "The Map of Shanhe is also in the shrine. Without the Map of Shanhe, we, we can't track the invaders."

The Map of Shanhe could show the full picture of Mount Xushan, and the Star-Plucking Pavilion could also monitor the location of the invaders.

Now that the Map of Shanhe was sinking at the bottom of the magma pool, who could find the whereabouts of the invaders? Two night owls suddenly flew down from the sky and stood on the dead wood to report: "Traces of the spider immortal were found seven miles to the east, heading toward Tianji Peak or Tianquan Peak!"

This might be their last chance to hunt down the spider immortal.

Bai Ziqi was about to speak when a voice came from behind: "I'll go."

A person stood out behind them, looking coldly at National Master Qingyang: "Allocate primordial power to me, I will go and meet the Ju Ju and the spider demon."

Including Bai Ziqi, everyone knelt down together, their expressions incomparably pious: "Welcome the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God!"

One of the gods had finally descended to the human world.

At the bottom of the magma pool, the barrier outside the shrine finally broke.

It might have been able to withstand a full-force blow from various great powers in the Star-Plucking Pavilion, but facing the endless earth fire attacks, it could only perish aggrievedly.

No matter how good the wood used to make the shrine was, it couldn't withstand the stewing of the earth fire, and it turned into nothing in less than two or three breaths.

The two things in the shrine were now exposed in the magma: the Map of Shanhe, and the divine object He Lingchuan had been longing for—

The lid of the Great Fang Hu.

A rock-fire lizard crawled out from somewhere and bit the divine object.

The Abyss-Sinking beast reached out to grab it, but this thing was too small, and with a flick of its tail, it drilled into the bottom of the stone crevice and disappeared in a flash.

How could there be a lizard in the depths of the earth fire? This was just a clone of the Ju Ju.

Even if the Abyss-Sinking beast had the ability to avoid fire, and even if it was brave again, it couldn't generate countless clones like the Ju Ju.

Watching the divine object disappear, the Abyss-Sinking beast hammered the bottom of the rock fiercely, damn it!

Subsequently, the light in its eyes disappeared.

In the side hall of the Star-Plucking Pavilion, Chief Envoy Du Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

This meant that he had given up control of the Abyss-Sinking beast. From now on, that monster had to rely on itself to fight.

Chief Envoy Du Yun took a deep breath, hiding the exhaustion on his face.

He was the number one person in the Tiangong, and he could never show his incompetence in front of everyone at any time.

Bai Ziqi stepped forward and asked with concern: "Chief Envoy, the shrine...?"

Chief Envoy Du Yun shook his head: "The bottom of the magma pool is still the Ju Ju's territory, and the divine object has been snatched by it. The top priority is to find the whereabouts of the invaders. The Ju Ju has no use for the divine object, and in the end, it will mostly be handed over to its accomplices."

So finding the invaders had a high probability of regaining the divine object. This was the current focus.

The Ju Ju was hateful, and the Spider Immortal's remains were also important, but catching the invaders was the final solution to end this chaos.

National Master Qingyang said from the side: "The Hundred-Battle Heavenly God has already gone to chase the invaders."

The Hundred-Battle Heavenly God had finally successfully descended? Chief Envoy Du Yun was overjoyed, feeling a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Just now, remotely controlling the Abyss-Sinking beast's mind to fight the Ju Ju had already made him mentally and physically exhausted. The Heavenly Gods had always hoped to control the Abyss-Sinking beasts, but they couldn't do it themselves, so they had to leave it to Beijia to try.

The so-called "perfect control" method for Abyss-Sinking beasts was only researched in the last few decades. Undoubtedly, the more powerful the Abyss-Sinking beast, the harder it was to control.

This Abyss-Sinking beast was a creation of the Heavenly Gods more than two thousand years ago, transformed from a fire-controlling demon immortal. Later, it was defeated by several immortals and sealed in the extreme north.

Under the guidance of the Heavenly Gods, Lingxu City spent a lot of effort to transport it back from the extreme north and raise it in Zhimi Peak.

This thing was not hard to raise, because it was asleep most of the time, waking up only once or twice a month to eat. Chief Envoy Du Yun also had to frequently contact it and establish a connection. After dozens of failures, he finally succeeded in communicating with it.

Controlling the Abyss-Sinking beast to fight, even for Chief Envoy Du Yun, who had a strong divine soul, was an extremely heavy burden.

Hearing the news of the Heavenly God's descent when he was exhausted, it couldn't be better.

Bai Ziqi looked at him, his eyes flickering.

Reasonably speaking, Chief Envoy Du Yun's strength was more than that, but today's performance was weaker than expected. Was it because the injury from last time hadn't healed, or because he was old and powerless? At this time, another good news came: "Chief Envoy, the Emperor has issued a decree, already sealing the Abyss-Sinking beast as the mountain-marsh spirit of Mount Xushan!"

Chief Envoy Du Yun was refreshed: "Good, very good!"

The Ju Ju could travel through Mount Xushan unimpeded because it was born of the earth fire of Mount Xushan, and to some extent, it represented Mount Xushan; while an outsider monster like the Abyss-Sinking beast had to have the status of a mountain-marsh spirit to move a hundred miles like it.

This decree came just in time, otherwise the Ju Ju would have sent the invaders out of Mount Xushan in two steps, and the Tiangong would have no way to deal with it.

Chief Envoy Du Yun immediately said: "I will drive the Abyss-Sinking beast to intercept, and find one or two strong people to accompany the Abyss-Sinking beast."

The Abyss-Sinking beast was not a true local beast after all, and its ability to carry people through the underground was very weak, so two was the limit.

Bai Ziqi was about to speak, but National Master Qingyang snatched the words: "I'll go."

Chief Envoy Du Yun frowned: "You?"

Qingyang was still a person waiting for punishment.

"If I wanted to escape, I wouldn't have come to Mount Xushan myself these days." National Master Qingyang said lightly, "This matter is of great importance, can you find a more suitable candidate than me?"

Although there were many great demons in Lingxu, they were not on Mount Xushan at the moment;

In terms of cultivation and ability, there was indeed no one more outstanding than her on the scene.

Not to mention that she was the oldest National Master of Lingxu, and no one could surpass her in the ability to mobilize primordial power—this point, even the Heavenly Gods were inferior to her.

At the critical moment, Chief Envoy Du Yun didn't need to think much and nodded: "Good, you go."

He turned to Bai Ziqi and instructed: "Envoy Bai, I leave this place to you."

Bai Ziqi sighed in his heart. Chief Envoy Du Yun would rather use National Master Qingyang than him, this was really... But he still had to respectfully say on the surface: "Yes! I will not fail the Chief Envoy's trust."

Next, Chief Envoy Du Yun took a deep breath, calmed his heart, and tried to control the Abyss-Sinking beast again.

After he withdrew his divine sense just now, the monster fought the Ju Ju for less than ten breaths before floating out of the magma pool. Clearly, the Ju Ju had already escaped, and this guy was covered in wounds, lying under the Star-Plucking Pavilion panting heavily.

The fierce battle just now had cost it a lot.

The opponent was the Ju Ju, a rock-fire giant that had survived since ancient times. Even if Chief Envoy Du Yun came down to control it himself, and even with the thick primordial power of Beijia, the combat power displayed by the Abyss-Sinking beast was still more than a notch lower than the Ju Ju.

But its existence was never meant to defeat the Ju Ju, but to contain and delay.

Although Chief Envoy Du Yun was very familiar with the Abyss-Sinking beast, he had never had the experience of controlling it twice in a row; besides, this monster was now angry and exhausted, covered in wounds, and its resistance was high. It was very difficult for him to regain control of the Abyss-Sinking beast.

Not long after entering meditation, blood began to flow from under Chief Envoy Du Yun's nose again, which was a manifestation of excessive loss of divine soul.

He was trying hard to suppress the Abyss-Sinking beast's divine soul and seize control of the monster's body.

After more than ten breaths, the Abyss-Sinking giant beast suddenly moved its heavy body and stood up, leaning against the side hall of the Star-Plucking Pavilion and opening its mouth wide, motionless.

This showed that it was under Chief Envoy Du Yun's control that it made this action.

For humans, that was an abyss-like giant mouth. But National Master Qingyang had no fear, jumping in.

Immediately after, the monster closed its mouth and dived into the magma pool.

In the night, the outline of Tianji Peak was vaguely visible.

Close, only a few dozen zhang away.

Just then, Zhu Xiuer said to He Lingchuan: "The pursuers are here, a formidable enemy! I'll cover the rear, you go first."

I'm exhausted, seeking monthly tickets! It's so hard to compete for the ranking this month, everyone help me out! (T_T)
