Chapter 1571: The Other Calamity's Counterattack

The Qin Li Tianwang line's major offensive against the Other Calamity suddenly showed signs of collapse, the black rain carrying the Other Tide counterattacked with even more ferocious force, and the Qin Li Tianwang line's army retreated step by step; the vast territory they had previously occupied, which had not yet been warmed, once again fell largely under the coverage of the Other Tide.

Such earth-shaking changes shocked all the forces across Outer Shenzhou, who then cast their watchful gazes over.

And this matter also caused huge waves on the Li Li Tianwang line's side. Li Li Tianji, Dantai Lan, and Li Li Qingying, the three branch leaders, immediately ordered a halt to the great counteroffensive, beginning to build up defenses, switching from offense to defense, to observe further developments.

Tens of thousands of miles west of the source of the Other Calamity.

One could see pillars of light shooting up into the sky here, constructing one after another defensive strange formations, while countless perceptions spread out, constantly scanning the surrounding areas, alert to any fluctuations of malice.

Vast swathes of tents, like a sea of white flowers, spread across the broad plains and forests, with countless streaks of light darting through them.

The banners of the various branches of the Li Li Tianwang line fluttered loudly in the fierce wind.

And on a mountaintop overlooking the plains, the high-level members of the Li Li Tianwang line had all gathered.

"Everyone, from the intelligence we've obtained, the Qin Li Tianwang line has already given up more than half of the territory they previously occupied. This counterattack of the Other Calamity is extremely fierce, and among them appeared True Demon anomalies of the False King level." Li Li Tianji's face turned solemn, his deep voice bringing heavy pressure to everyone present.

"True Demons of the False King level!"

Although Li Li Qingpeng, Li Li Jiluo, and these Nine Pinnacle Marquis had already known this intelligence in advance, they still inevitably looked grim at this moment, because they all understood very clearly just what terrifying deterrent power this so-called False King realm possessed in the current situation.

When the power of King-realm experts cannot penetrate the range of the black rain, the False King True Demons within are invincible.

This is simply cheating!

How harsh and rare the False King realm is, they as Pinnacle Marquis knew all too well — it is a level only achievable by those who have forged six Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms, plus three other Marquis Platforms all of nine pillars, the Nine Pinnacle Marquis.

That is the true extreme realm of the Marquis Realm.

"Moreover, the black rain has also undergone changes, seemingly having gained some kind of enhancement. The Qin Li Tianwang line's 'Spring Rain Transforming Evil Formation' from that little girl Qin Yi can no longer offset the erosion brought by the black rain, which is why the Qin Li Tianwang line's army suffered a collapse and could not hold the previously occupied territory." Dantai Lan said.

Once these words were spoken, it further intensified everyone's worries.

Li Luo also frowned at this moment. Even Qin Yi's "Spring Rain Transforming Evil Formation" was suppressed by the strengthened black rain, so could their "Light Divine Crystal Demon-Sweeping Formation" resist it?

Presumably, even if it could hold up, the effect would be greatly reduced.

This is not good news, because once the effect of the "Light Divine Crystal Demon-Sweeping Formation" is weakened, then inevitably the casualties on our side would also increase accordingly.

"How many False King True Demons are there?" Li Luo asked.

From the current situation, those False King anomalies are the greatest threat. Rampaging within the black rain, they would pose an extreme threat to the other Nine Pinnacle Marquis, and every Nine Pinnacle Marquis is the foundation of the Li Tianwang line. Once they perish, the loss would be extremely heavy.

"One 'Finger-Wing False King' appeared on the Qin Li Tianwang line's side. For now, it seems to be just this one, but I feel that if the rules of the 'Li Tianwang Amnesty Writ' have truly changed, then the Three-Pupil Primordial Demon King will definitely create a second, or even a third, False King anomaly." Dragon Scale Branch leader Li Li Qingying said with her beautiful brows tightly knit.

"The situation on the Qin Li Tianwang line's side has already deteriorated, showing how violent this incident is. The Pinnacle Marquis they've lost this time is probably no less than five."

"However, the counterattack of the Other Tide over there has gradually eased in the past two days. I feel that the Finger-Wing False King is about to start charging toward our defense line."

Hearing these words, Li Li Qingpeng, Li Li Jiluo, and others immediately felt their scalps tighten. Gu Qing, Liu Chen, and other Pinnacle Marquis retainers also had somewhat bitter expressions on their faces. They truly did not want to face a False King True Demon — one slight misstep and they'd lose their lives.

"Everyone need not worry too much. We won't end up in a great collapse like the Qin Li Tianwang line. After all, although the anomalies have a False King, we also have two Unparalleled Sixth-Grade, which is an advantage the Qin Li Tianwang line never had. So even if we can't match them, we should be able to entangle the Finger-Wing False King and buy ourselves more room to maneuver." Seeing the heavy expressions on everyone, Li Li Tianji comforted them.

Once these words were spoken, the high-level members present all cast their gazes toward Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, eyes filled with anticipation.

In the current combat strength of the Li Li Tianwang line, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge can be said to be the top below the King realm. Even old-generation Upper Nine-Pinnacle Marquis like Li Feiyu and Li Changkun cannot compare to the two of them.

So if anyone on their side is most qualified to fight that False King anomaly, it would probably only be these two.

Meeting everyone's gazes, Li Luo pondered slightly and said: "When the Finger-Wing False King truly turns to attack our defense line, leave it to me and Sister Jiang Qinge to handle. It just so happens we also want to test just how much difference there is between a False King and a True King."

Even when facing a False King True Demon, Li Luo did not show fear like the other Pinnacle Marquis. The current him is no longer the green youth who first arrived at the Dragon Fang branch back then. He is already the sixth branch leader of the Li Li Tianwang line.

Although for now he is the weakest branch leader in terms of strength, he still needs to shoulder the responsibility of a branch leader after all.

And although the False King True Demon is strong, neither he nor Jiang Jiang Qinge are ordinary Unparalleled Sixth-Grade.

One of them has a Myriad Resonances Seed, the other a Primordial Seed, and their combat power cannot be underestimated either.

Who's stronger and who's weaker, only by clashing will they know.

Looking at Li Luo's composed demeanor, Li Li Qingpeng showed a look of gratification. This once junior is now beginning to show his edge, becoming a pillar of support within the Li Li Tianwang line.

Presumably, if the old man knew, he would surely be delighted.

"Good. In the next two days, we will halt our offensive and contract our defense line. After driving back the Qin Li Tianwang line, the Other Tide's next target will surely be us."

"Hopefully we can withstand their counterattack. If not, I'm afraid we'll ultimately have to retreat back to Zhao Shenjiang City, and all the efforts put in during this period will come to nothing." Li Li Tianji sighed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge exchanged a glance. They certainly did not want the situation to deteriorate to that point, because if it did, not only would they be held back from returning to Daxia, but borrowing troops would also be difficult to bring up.

Therefore, this Other Calamity must be resolved!

That Finger-Wing False King...

Must also die!

Over the next two days, the Li Li Tianwang line's defense line continuously contracted, reinforcing their defenses.

A tense, oppressive atmosphere spread through the army.

Because everyone could feel the black clouds spreading across the distant sky, growing denser, the pitch-black rainstorm exuding an ominous aura, and within the darkness, it seemed as though countless twisted, resentful, and chaotic gazes were being cast upon them.

That was the prelude to the coming storm.

And on the Qin Li Tianwang line's side, after their disheveled retreat, they silently licked their wounds while casting their gaze toward the Li Li Tianwang line's side.

The other forces of Outer Shenzhou were also watching, wanting to know whether the Li Li Tianwang line would also, like the Qin Li Tianwang line, have their defense line completely destroyed by the counterattack from the Other Calamity.

Under this watchful gaze of all, time came to the third day of reinforcing defenses.

Standing on the mountaintop, the three branch leaders Li Li Tianji, Dantai Lan, and Li Li Qingying suddenly turned solemn. Their sharp gazes shot toward the distant horizon, where the thick, viscous clouds of malice, stagnant for several days, finally began to roll.

The black clouds let out piercing roars, carrying the terrifying black rain, like apocalyptic beasts surging toward the long defense line reinforced by the Li Li Tianwang line.

Wooo!

Piercing horns and war drums sounded throughout the Li Li Tianwang line's army.

Countless pillars of phase force light rose, and Marquis Platforms stood tall in the void.

And above the army, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge stood in the air, their gazes cast into the depths of the black rainstorm, where a cold white light bathed itself in the black rain.

It was a slender figure, behind whom two massive finger-wings, piled from countless swollen human fingers, slowly flapped.

Terrifying fluctuations, like a storm, constantly swept out from within its body.

It seemed to sense the gazes of Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, so its crimson lips slowly curled into a twisted, cruel smile, and it extended its pale, slightly sharp hand, reaching out toward the two of them from afar and squeezing viciously.

As if to crush them both into a pulp of flesh.

Boom!

The next instant, a torrential black rain poured down from the horizon first, then swept down to engulf the army of Li Li Tianwang's faction.
