Chapter 2889 At a dead end, with no way out
Panlong Secret Realm.
Ling Jinbao and Bao Chihai led three hundred defenders out of the city and, under the cover of the stone army and the black dragon stone sculpture, resumed their battle against the Heavenly Demon.
Jialoutian saw this from behind, and instead of being worried, he was delighted:
"Excellent, the secret realm can't hold on any longer."
These living people had previously huddled behind the barrier and city walls. If the barrier hadn't collapsed, how would they have come out?
In the past quarter of an hour, the Order Godhead has been recharging, and Jialoutian is becoming increasingly powerful; on the other hand, in the Panlong Secret Realm, the Black Dragon Stone Sculpture and the Stone Man Army are clearly running out of steam, and those stone men are even more fragile, unable to withstand the Heavenly Demon's attacks for long.
With one side gaining at the expense of the other, the tipping point is fast approaching.
As expected, the Sea Dragon Barrier shattered first. Jia Loutian was confident that even without using his Order Godhood, he could destroy the Panlong Secret Realm within a quarter of an hour!
As long as Jiuyou doesn't make a move.
"What use are you few shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Jia Loutian's mocking voice reached everyone's ears. "Where is Jiuyou? Why are you the only ones they're sending out to die?"
He was just joking casually, but the words he uttered made him realize something.
The subordinate deity also whispered from behind, "Heavenly Venerable, Jiuyou may already be too badly injured to move."
Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare to show their faces?
Ling Jinbao unleashed his flying sword, wounding a Heavenly Demon, and retorted sarcastically, "You all struggle for half a day to even break the Sea Dragon Barrier, what qualifications do you have to fight against the Emperor?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a flash of light appeared on the tall city wall behind them, followed by a soft "pop".
It sounded like a soap bubble being popped.
The demon noticed that the scenery around him had changed; it was no longer an endless plain, but rather a collection of bizarre and wonderful buildings on the Earth Mother Plain.
The Panlong City Wall directly in front of us still looks like the same wall, but it has become static.
The heavy siege engines on the city walls were still there, but the heavy arrows and cannonballs were no longer unlimited, and they had to be loaded by hand. The archers were still standing on the city gate, but something felt off.
The barrier on the wall also disappeared. Just then, a demon's divine spell struck, "Bang!" creating a large crater!
Most importantly, the black dragon stone sculpture, the blue-faced demon, and the army of demon-devouring vines covering the ground—the main forces resisting the Heavenly Demon—all vanished in an instant.
Both sides were taken aback.
The defending troops were greatly alarmed, while the demon was overjoyed.
The Panlong Secret Realm has been broken!
Jia Loutian immediately made the decision: "Take the city, quickly!"
These few hundred people are no match for them. Whether they are killed or not is irrelevant. The most urgent task is to take over Panlong Ancient City!
Their meticulously planned three-year sniping campaign turned into a protracted war, and three of the four great immortals were even killed by the Nine Netherworlds! If they still couldn't bring back the Earth Mother and the Great Square Pot, Jia Loutian didn't know how he would explain it to the Holy Venerable Lingxu.
He also had a hidden worry: Jiuyou hadn't shown his face for a long time, was he hiding in the shadows and plotting something bad?
This guy never plays by the rules, and he's the variable that Jialoutian fears most.
The secret realm has been broken, and the demons can now unleash their full power without being bound by the laws of the secret realm.
Seeing the Heavenly Demon charging towards the city gate, Ling Jinbao shouted:
"Stop them!"
The fierce battle had lasted all night, and they had used up almost all the magical formations and summoned creatures they could muster. Right now, Ling Jinbao could only unleash three newly repaired Golden Armored Generals. They had suffered heavy damage during the last Heavenly Demon siege and had only recently been repaired in the secret realm; it was uncertain how long they could hold out.
But that didn't matter anymore. Ling Jinbao knew that his only task was to buy time for the Earth Mother to escape.
Not only him, but also the three hundred people behind him, no longer harbored any hope.
Even the myth of the Nine Nether Emperor's invincibility has been shattered, and they no longer expect miracles to happen.
It's impossible for it to happen again.
The moment the two sides clashed, even with the golden-armored generals at the forefront, the defending troops fell in droves instantly. The distance between the demons and humans was too vast; without the protection of a secret realm or the aid of elemental power, the demons could harvest humans as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
If only I could hold on for a few more breaths! Ling Jinbao gritted his teeth, but at this rate, he couldn't keep going!
Not to mention the other Cangyan warriors, he himself was completely exhausted.
The demon unleashed a divine power that he couldn't dodge; a long eyebrow pierced his shoulder, pinning him to the city wall.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" He slapped the city wall with his backhand.
He knew that Mother Earth was also exhausted, and cutting off territory would not be as easy as usual. But this was his last chance to escape, and it would be fleeting!
As soon as the words were spoken, the ground beneath the feet of both sides shook violently, and they almost lost their footing.
Earthquake in the plains!
Jia Lou Tianxia frowned.
Their previous battle took place in the Panlong Secret Realm, where earthquakes were frequent. Why is the Earth Mother Plain also an exception?
"Oh no, they're trying to escape with the Great Pot!" But as expected of a Great Demon, He quickly figured it out. "Quick, into the city!"
These mortals, knowing they are doomed, still come out to block the way, mostly because they want to buy time for Jiuyou and the Earth Mother so they can escape with the Great Pot!
"Yes!" the demons responded in unison. Immediately, three demons used their supernatural powers to flash behind the guards and rush up the city wall.
This was not a secret city; there were no defensive formations on the walls or any guardian beasts. They climbed to the top of the city wall as if walking on flat ground, almost instantly.
Ling Jinbao had just pulled the long eyebrow thorn from his shoulder when he saw everything. He was furious but helpless—the ground attack had arrived, and they were barely able to protect themselves, so they couldn't spare any time to attack.
We've reached a dead end!
Just then, the Panlong City Wall suddenly rose, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, and kept growing upwards!
No, that's not right. The previous earthquake was caused by the fracturing of the rock strata, but this one is caused by the sudden uplift of the tectonic plate beneath Panlong City.
Everyone was horrified.
The Heavenly Demon, who was locked in combat with Ling Jinbao, accidentally stepped into the air and was kicked down, falling into the billowing red mist.
For some reason, He didn't come up again.
The rock movement stopped after about ten breaths.
However, due to the friction and fracturing of a large number of rock and soil blocks, dark red dust and smoke filled the air, covering the sky!
Ling Jinbao and the others stood in front of the city gate, and thus, along with Panlong City, they were lifted upwards by the boundless power. They watched helplessly as they and their mortal enemies grew further and further apart, with not only a difference in elevation of tens of feet between them, but also a five-foot-wide chasm formed due to the fracturing of the rock strata!
"Well done!" Ling Jinbao praised the Earth Mother while panting. "Quickly, take Panlong City and leave!"
In his mind, it must have been the Earth Mother who intervened, severing the Panlong Ancient City from the main plain, causing such a commotion. Otherwise, who possessed such power to destroy the Earth Mother Plain?
That was handled beautifully.
But he hadn't expected to be taken along. He was prepared to fight to the death.
But Jialoutian is right in front of us, and if the Earth Mother doesn't move quickly, she will be caught up by the Heavenly Demon again.
The little stone man popped out from the ground at his feet and shook his head vigorously: "It wasn't me!"
