Chapter 476: Chapter 293: Realm of Extremes_2
So…
“Boom!”
The Duotian Great Spirit Official hoisted the Tianshu Thunder Fury Stele in one hand and grasped the Fire-refined Red Gold Whip in the other, his body engulfed in boundless thunderbolts. Thirty million thunder-attributed magic artifacts operated in unison, lashing out with a whip like a Jiao Dragon, violently striking towards the Red Lotus Demon God.
The War God’s Atlas and the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor, when combined in a single strike, had already transcended the Fifth Rank boundary and burst into the Sixth Rank realm.
The Sixth Rank, Immortal Path Returning to Void, Martial Path’s Earthly Tribulation!
Under such a strike…
“Bang!!!”
The Red Lotus Demon God raised both hands, shifting from an attacking to a defensive stance, barely catching the wrathful whip of thunder.
“Tianshu Thunder Rage, the power of Earthly Tribulation!”
Even though he had blocked the opponent’s attack, Deng Yunpeng felt no joy in his heart.
Powered by the force of Tianshu Thunder Rage, this Thunderbolt General had become a match for an old hand like him in the Tribulation Realm.
In other words, this was a combatant of Earthly Tribulation strength.
Three Palaces, four generals—such strength of Earthly Tribulation, and the opponent had twelve of them.
In contrast, on their side, the older generation in the Tribulation Realm numbered less than ten.
And that was only the Twelve Divine Generals; above the dome of the sky, there were still three great Heavenly Palaces!
This…
“Boom!!!”
The root of the fear in his heart became apparent in an instant as the White Jade Immortal City suddenly stirred, emitting five divine lights of green, yellow, red, black, and white, sweeping into the battlefield and aiming directly at the old demons.
“!!!”
As the Five Colors Divine Light swept over with more might than thunder and fire, Deng Yunpeng’s heart felt a dire warning. He urgently wanted to dodge, but the Duotian Great Spirit Official in front of him didn’t give him a chance. The whip lashed with thunder, aided the barrage of attacks, leaving him with no retreat and no escape, forcing him to take on the Five Colors Divine Light.
It was this confrontation…
“Whoosh!!!”
As the Five Colors Divine Light shone down, it seemed like swords dancing, like scrubbing clean—massive and towering. The Red Lotus Demon God wanted to resist, but there was nothing to receive or to block; he couldn’t defend against it at all and was swept over by the light. In the shimmer of myriad colors, the body of the Demon God shattered, the Red Lotus Karma Fire extinguished, revealing Deng Yunpeng’s true body.
“Pff!!!”
Deng Yunpeng couldn’t withstand it either; he was swept over by the five divine lights, his protective true essence instantly shattered. His organs, flesh, and bones bore the brunt as if five ancient mountains had rolled over him, and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
It was the Postnatal Great Five Elements Divine Light!
Man’s power has limits, but artifact power is boundless!
The Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, being of the Myriad Device Level, when White Jade Capital invoked the Five Colors Divine Light, though it still consisted of the Postnatal Five Elements like Yi Wood, Xin Metal, Ding Fire, Kui Water, and Ji Earth, it drew power from countless magic artifacts and the Five Elements Immortal Spirit core along with the Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation Skill, hence its might far surpassed the Five Colors Divine Light released by cultivators, which was why it was named the Postnatal Great Five Elements Divine Light.
Such divine power was a true killing move. Even for the White Jade Capital, it required a massive amount of Spirit Stones to store energy for some time before it could be released and could not be activated consecutively; otherwise, even it would struggle to endure. At the least, the mech armor would overload, and myriads of artifacts would be damaged, or at worst, the core would shatter, resulting in the destruction of the Immortal Spirit.
Facing such a killing move, the wise choice was to avoid its edge.
But Deng Yunpeng couldn’t avoid it!
Not only Deng Yunpeng, but the three old demons entangled with the Pure Yang Longevity Immortal, the Southern Dipper Demon-Quelling Marshal, and the Thunderbolt Overturning Sky General, also couldn’t avoid it.
“Pff! Pff! Pff!”
The divine light swept across and broke through three battlefronts, all three senior demons in the Tribulation Realm spat out blood, sustaining severe injuries.
“This light… ah!”
One old demon flew back a hundred yards, looking up at the sky, at the pinnacle of the heavens where the White Jade Immortal City sat, his right hand placed on his blood-drenched, nearly bone-exposed chest, about to speak when he felt a pain in his organs, tumultuous as overturning seas, and spat out another large mouthful of fresh blood.
“Old Ghost Meng!”
“Ancestor!”
The miserable state of the few old demons shocked everyone from the Demon Sect; several of them hastily went forward to help, others didn’t look back, and rushed out of the formation.
“To think that such beings exist outside the Temple of War God!”
Deng Yunpeng suppressed his injury, withstood a blow from the Duotian Great Spirit Official, but with one hit, his blood boiled, his lungs and innards ached, and he involuntarily let blood seep from his mouth; his skin, bones, and marrow were all crying out in pain.
It was evident how severe the injury was from this one strike of the Five Colors Divine Light.
The White Jade Immortal City had definitely reached the extreme of Earthly Tribulation!
Although he was among the old generation of the Tribulation Realm, this did not equate to the extreme limit of the Tribulation Realm. It was like Chen Tianjie from the days long past, who before he had cultivated into the Heavenly Tribulation Demon God, was indeed a figure of the old generation’s Divine Intent, yet there was still a fine line of difference from the absolute pinnacle of Divine Intent.
It was the same for him; despite being a character from the old generation, a strong hand of the Tribulation Realm, he had not reached the extreme of the Tribulation Realm.
In fact, within the entire Temple of War God, there were only three people who had reached the extreme limit of the Earthly Tribulation and had hopes for the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
They were…
“Boom!”
On another side of the battlefield, the Divine Martial Palace pressed down from the sky, with the Preheaven Qi, Yin and Yang Ultimate, and Qiankun Bagua – the three great arrays merging into one, transforming into a Bagua Tai Chi diagram, precisely the Taiji One Qi Primordial Array.
The union of Taiji One Qi and Primordial Array, coupled with the strength of the billions of magic artifacts of the Divine Martial Palace, created a Tai Chi Diagram that pressed down from the sky. Although slightly inferior to the Great Five Elements Divine Light, it was still an incredibly strong killing move of the Immortal Spirit Mech Armor.
“Not good!”
Under such an array, Ren Baimei and the others of the Tribulation Realm also changed color, each raising their hands, lifting them towards the sky dome, wishing to withstand the opposing array.
However, with the transformation of Yin and Yang within the array, much of the power of those in the Tribulation Realm was dissolved, inverting to strengthen their own Primordial forces. A pressure like mountains, a suppression like peaks, shattered the protective essence of the crowd. Dragon Tiger Grandmaster, Non-urgent Overlord, Vajra Revered One, and others took advantage of the situation, grievously injuring many of the Righteous Path’s people.
Still not satisfied, another sight emerged: the Heavenly Demon Divine Power transformed into a statue of a black Heavenly Demon God, thundering into the battlefield and slamming into Ren Baimei and others who were struggling to hold on.
“Spurt!”
Ren Baimei’s expression changed, he resisted with all his might, but he was still sent flying by a strike from the black Heavenly Demon God, blood spattering forth.
“Heavenly Demon Array!”
“Damn it!”
The situation took a drastic turn for the worse, throwing everyone into utter chaos.
Just then…
“Buzz!”
Above the ninth heaven, within the Immortal City, the Five Palaces of White Jade burst forth with brilliance once again, as the Great Five Elements Divine Light began to gather strength.
At this stage of the battle, they had reached the limit; any additional force applied could be the final straw that broke the camel’s back, let alone the power of the Great Five Elements Divine Light.
At this critical juncture of life and death, everyone could no longer care about anything else. Deng Yunpeng and the other old demons cried out with all their might, “Sect Hierarch, if you don’t make a move now, we will have to sacrifice our lives for the sect!”
“Bang!”
Just as the words fell, the void shattered and a figure emerged. It was a youth with white hair and a black robe, with striking eyes and brows, a vertical bloodline on his forehead, and a distinct air of evil around his whole appearance.
This person, emerging from the Broken Void, unknown from whence he came, strode out, gazed at the White Jade Immortal City above the ninth heaven with a hint of a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, and then raised his arm and threw a punch.
“Boom!”
A single punch, containing myriad magnificent scenes: Heavenly Demons danced chaotic, seas of blood surged, lotus blossoms of red, stars fell, thousands of scenes, each spectacular, all merged into one fist, shattering the boundaries of the void.
Distance, speed, even time—all lost their meaning in that moment, for space itself had been shattered.
A punch that passed through nothing, piercing straight into the dome of the ninth heaven, threatening the White Jade Immortal City.
However…
“Boom!”
Five colors burst forth, brilliant lights shone, as the Great Five Elements Divine Light broke through the sky, washing over everything, the punch with its thousands of magnificent scenes was twisted into nothingness.
“Hmph!”
The young man snorted coldly, stepping back half a step, but still lifting his arms to withstand the follow-up illumination of the Five Elements Light, while shouting, “Quickly retreat into the Temple of War God!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Deng Yunpeng and the old demons immediately took action, stubbornly bearing their injuries, striking forcibly, repelling the entanglement of the four Divine Generals, and withdrawing toward the Temple of War God.
The twenty-eight Seasuppressing Heavenpropping Pillars, arranged in the formation of twenty-eight constellations, sealed off all sides with the Seven Stars, leaving no road to heaven and no gate to the earth. Only the central Temple of War God, embedded in the void, remained as a place of retreat.
The people of the Demon Path made a decisive decision and fled into the Temple of War God.
On the other hand, on the battlefield of the Righteous Path, a Boundless Sword Light Across the Way slashed out, and a giant Kunpeng shadow soared up, single-handedly holding off the Divine Martial Palace and the Heavenly Demon Palace, along with the eight great Divine Generals, protecting the Righteous Path’s people as they retreated into the Temple of War God.
In the blink of an eye, both black and white paths, all those in the Tribulation Realm had completely retreated into the Temple of War God, leaving behind only that man with white hair, and the unseen Boundless Sword Light, along with the giant Kunpeng shadow.
“Bang!”
The Five Colors Divine Light fiercely advanced, the Five Elements united into the color of Primordial Chaos, harboring a fraction of the Postnatal defying the Innate trend. It finally shattered the defense, penetrated the arms of the man with white hair, and rushed into his chest.
“Ugh!”
The man with white hair grunted softly, blood appearing at the corner of his mouth, but he still braced himself and entered the void, vanishing in an instant.
On the other side, the Boundless Sword Light and the giant Kunpeng shadow also returned, displaying the ability to shatter the void, and disappeared into the boundaries of nothingness.
