Chapter 1790: Kings Block the Snake

Black sunlight descended from the heavens, plummeting toward the lands outside the Great Xia capital.

And as it fell, rotting flesh and blood came pouring down, finally writhing and coalescing under the horrified gazes of countless experts across the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region, forming a blood snake tens of thousands of zhang in size.

The blood snake's body was covered in rotting flesh, constantly writhing, while burning with rolling black flames. A terrifying eruption of Authority Power burst forth, causing the world's energy to thunder violently.

Although the pressure this blood snake radiated was far inferior to the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's, it still possessed the strength of an ordinary Li Li Tianwang. In the current Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region, such power was enough to tip the balance.

And anyone could see that this blood snake's power came from the Nine-Snake Great Demon King and the Black Sun, and the enemy's objective was also very clear: to use the time while Li Luo was being revived to destroy the resurrection ritual and the seed that had been set up at the House Luolan Mansion headquarters.

If that happened, Li Luo's resurrection would also fail.

Therefore, the moment the blood snake had just taken shape, it immediately carried overwhelming killing intent and charged straight toward the Great Xia capital.

"Intercept it!"

King-level experts who had long since rushed over upon hearing the news burst out with sharp shouts. One after another, King Crowns shot into the sky, inhaling and exhaling the world's energy, radiating dense Origin Power.

These King-level experts of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region all understood just how urgent the current situation was. Li Luo had given everything he had to push the Nine-Snake Great Demon King into a corner.

Seeing that the enemy's nine lives were about to be exhausted, yet at the very last moment, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King had discovered the secret of Li Luo's resurrection. So it used a secret art to split off its power, forming a blood snake with the strength of an ordinary Li Li Tianwang, and sent it down, attempting to disrupt Li Luo's revival.

If Li Luo's resurrection failed, then all the efforts made before would come to nothing.

Without Li Luo as their pillar of support, there would no longer be anyone in the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region who could keep the Nine-Snake Great Demon King in check. At that time, the only thing awaiting the living beings of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region would be destruction.

Therefore, even though these King-level experts who had rushed over knew the gap between their own strength and the blood snake's was enormous, they still struck without hesitation, giving their all in an attempt to buy even the tiniest sliver of time.

And facing these King-level experts who came to obstruct it, the giant blood snake's pupils flickered with a cruel gleam. Its maw suddenly opened wide, and a flood of rotting flesh and blood swept out. From within the flesh, blood-flesh arms stretched out, wreathed in Authority Power, and directly slapped apart all the Origin-based attacks launched by those King-level experts.

At the same time, blood-flesh arms pierced through space, grabbing some of the closest King-level experts in their palms in a single snatch. As Authority Power surged, they were crushed alive into puddles of rotten mud and flesh.

Those King-level experts who had once been considered pillars of strength within the various Li Li Tianwang lineages of the Outer Shenzhou were now as fragile as ants before this rotting, blood-flesh giant snake.

However, the slaughter by the rotting blood snake did not cause the King-level experts of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region to retreat or feel fear. On the contrary, it only further ignited their fighting spirit.

"Hahaha, if my death can buy the successful resurrection of Li Li Tianwang, it's no loss!"

A King-level expert captured by a blood-flesh arm spat out by the blood snake let out a wild and tragic burst of laughter. Before the blood snake could even activate its Authority Power to crush him, he unhesitatingly sacrificed and ignited his own King Crown.

Boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar of energy, this King-level expert self-detonated.

The violent, surging Origin Power ravaged outward, shattering the blood-flesh arms formed by the rotting blood snake, and at the same time blasted its rapidly advancing massive figure backward.

The rotting blood snake let out a roar. It was clearly enraged that these ant-like beings were obstructing its advance, so its killing became even more ferocious. Authority Power swept across, pressing down on the many King-level experts until they could not lift their heads.

And the many King-level experts of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region, under this suppression, gradually grew fierce and resolute in their eyes.

Boom!

Boom, boom!

The next moment, one after another, magnificent King Crowns began to be sacrificed and ignited, like dazzling fireworks blooming across the heavens and earth.

Only these fireworks radiated with grandeur and tragedy.

"My heart knows no fear!"

"We shall endure forever!"

One after another, resolute long howls rang out, shaking the heavens and the earth.

After each long howl, a King-level expert would charge forward like a moth to a flame, sacrifice and ignite their King Crown, and initiate self-detonation.

The King-level experts, once regarded as unattainably lofty in the eyes of the world, could at this moment only use such a tragic method to obstruct the rotting blood snake's advance toward the Great Xia city.

Because everyone knew that there lay the last hope of the entire Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region.

Pang Pang Qianyuan watched this scene, and for a moment could not help but feel his eyes grow moist. He possessed the strength of a peak Three-Crown King, and was currently leading three other Three-Crown Kings to hold the very front against the blood snake. Yet even so, they were still being steadily pushed back under the blood snake's barrage of Authority Power attacks.

Pang Pang Qianyuan took a deep breath, his gaze gradually growing resolute. If it truly came to that moment, then these old bones of his could also be set ablaze.

The bitter interception battle continued.

King-level experts stationed at various points across the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region rushed over at full speed, one after another, joining this suicidal interception.

But even though the many King-level experts of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region were fighting to the death to block it, the rotting blood snake was still brutally tearing through the interception line, rapidly closing in on the Great Xia city.

And at this moment, within the Great Xia city, chaos reigned as well.

Everyone knew that once the rotting blood snake appeared outside the city, this city would surely be destroyed by it, and no one would be spared.

However, no one planned to flee, because there was no point in doing so. So they all knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the House Luolan Mansion headquarters that had stood within the Great Xia city for many years.

They did not have the strength to go intercept the rotting blood snake, and could only offer the most devout prayers and blessings.

After all, in their eyes, the current Li Luo was no different from a deity.

On the city wall of the Great Xia city.

Seeing Yu Lang stood leaning on his blade. His face was already weathered with the marks of wind and frost, and as the gale blew past, it stirred his hair, faintly revealing traces of the wild, carefree youth he once was.

He listened to the chaos within the city, but his gaze looked into the distance. He could sense the terrifying killing intent of the rotting blood snake sweeping toward the Great Xia city, blotting out the sky.

The interception line formed by the many King-level experts of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region was being brutally torn apart by it.

A blood snake comparable to a Li Li Tianwang-level expert was virtually irresistible to ordinary King-level experts.

Even sacrificing and igniting their King Crowns to self-detonate could not inflict actual damage upon it.

Seeing Yu Lang's gaze into the distance appeared somewhat deep and profound at this moment.

The only ones who could intercept this rotting blood snake now were Li Li Tianwang-level experts, but both Lü Qing'er and Zhen Linshuang were being held back and could not act at all.

Then, it could only fall to him.

Seeing Yu Lang chuckled softly, his hand gripping the blade's hilt, and murmured to himself: "Li Luo, oh Li Luo, look at that. Even though you are now a peak expert of this world, in the end, you still need me, Seeing Yu Lang, to protect you."
