Chapter 2756 Sacrifice
Furthermore, these demons were relentlessly pursuing him, having learned from their mistake at He Yue's hands. They were determined not to give Yang Sheng a chance to escape underground—it's difficult to use earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique that allows one to escape underground) when entangled in combat with the enemy's weapons or limbs.
The other demons arrived in the blink of an eye.
Just as Yang Sheng was about to perish, a colossal creature suddenly rolled over with a rumble, circled around Yang Sheng, and mercilessly crushed the immortals and demons.
Not to mention the Heavenly Demon, even Yang Sheng himself was taken aback.
It resembled a giant earthworm covered in sharp thorns, fifteen or sixteen zhang long, armed from head to toe. But upon closer inspection, each thorn had a woody texture. The demon closest to it was caught off guard and was instantly pierced, rolling at its feet, and was riddled with holes, howling in pain.
The wood thorn contained a poison that could erode flesh and bones; his skin instantly turned green and began to ooze green pus, while his body began to swell.
This round thing rolled over like a road roller, and no other immortal or demon wanted to be touched by it; they all instinctively jumped away.
In this way, Yang Sheng was surrounded and temporarily out of the battle.
The thing urged him on, "Hurry up, I can't hold you off for long!"
It's Aoshuji-kun's voice.
Then it turned and pounced on the demons.
This is a "fire thorn insect" that it created using its wood-type talent.
Before Yang Sheng could even thank him, he dove headfirst into the ground like a diver.
As the commander of the plains garrison, he had the ability to come and go without a trace, and could escape without being entangled by the enemy.
He had just disappeared underground when dozens of attacks struck the fire thorn insects, the wrathful demons unleashing their fury.
The fire-thorn insect, a manifestation of Daoist Qing Shu, possessed thorns as strong as thousand-year-old ironwood, capable of both offense and defense, resembling a rolling mobile fortress, invincible on large battlefields before the Middle Ages. However, here, even with the support of Cang Yan's Yuan Power, it couldn't withstand the onslaught for more than a few breaths before being torn apart, its pale purple blood flowing across the ground.
After Yang Sheng left, it also wanted to leave, but just as it was about to burrow into the ground, two cold lights flashed behind it, and the huge body of the fire thorn beetle was torn to pieces!
The power of a single strike was so great.
"Heavenly Venerable!" Geng Yue and the others also arrived from behind and reported to the newcomer, "We injured another immortal, I think his name is Ming Ke, but... but two stone beasts emerged from the ground to block the attack for him, and he escaped."
"Useless!" The Heavenly Venerable glanced at them, and the demons led by Geng Yue, sensing the anger of their superior, quickly lowered their heads.
There were more than ten celestial beings here, but none of them could capture a single immortal from the other side!
As for the Black Armor Army and the Shen Kingdom army outside, they were eager to protect their lord and rushed here, but suddenly a large pit collapsed in the ground, like an open mouth, swallowing them all.
Several immortals and demons flashed away, only managing to kill seven or eight people before the cave entrance disappeared, and the ground returned to its original state.
Naturally, the power of Mother Earth took them away without explanation.
"Although the Earth Mother herself is not here, the Cangyan people's control over her power still exceeds our expectations," the Celestial Venerable said, offering a fair assessment.
The Earth Mother Plain has always been shrouded in mystery, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and forbidden to the living. Before today's great battle, the Heavenly Palace tried every means but failed to gather any further information about the plain. They didn't know how many immortals and troops were stationed there, nor did they know the terrain, landforms, or city layout. How could they possibly know how much control the Earth Mother herself had granted to the Cangyan people before she went into slumber?
Many core secrets are unknown to the gods and the Heavenly Palace, so the key to Duanmu Heng's plan to succeed lies in using the gods' raw power to win a crushing victory.
One force can overcome ten techniques. No matter how many unknown tricks the Earth Mother Plain may have, the gods will crush them all with their strength!
The lineup of gods descending today is so magnificent that it has not been seen in three thousand years.
If we still can't take down the Earth Mother Plains or the Nine Nether Emperor in this round, then we can only say that it is the will of Heaven.
After the Celestial Venerable finished speaking and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, as if listening intently.
Then, with a flash of cold light in his hand, he pierced through a piece of fire worm remains on the roof three zhang away.
The fire worm was so big that after he smashed it, the remains were scattered everywhere—on the ground, treetops, rooftops, and corners of walls.
His attack was different from the previous ones. All the demons heard a crisp cracking sound, like an eggshell being crushed, amplified ten times.
Geng Yue leaped onto the roof, picked up the wreckage, and pulled out several pieces of dark red flesh.
It feels soft and bouncy when squeezed, and even the liquid that comes out is dark red and smells like blood.
However, the texture on the meat resembles wood grain.
"Tai Sui!" Geng Yueshen exclaimed in surprise. "This seems to be the true form of that mountain demon from earlier. I didn't expect it to be something like this."
He pieced the pieces of meat together, and the resulting shape resembled both a person and a monkey.
The true form of Qing Shu Di Jun is so convincing that even its companions on the Earth Mother Plains believe it to be a large mandrill. In reality, the mandrill is just a disguise on its shell.
After the Celestial Venerable shattered the Firethorn Beetle, it was unlucky and fell onto the roof tiles—if it had landed on the ground, it could have escaped directly.
"This thing has been playing dead, trying to wait for us to leave before it comes down to earth," the Celestial Venerable said calmly. "A mere trick."
All the demons shouted in unison, "We cannot escape the Heavenly Venerable's discerning eyes!"
"Where is the Crown Prince of Shen? Can he still be tracked down?"
Geng Yue quickly replied, "Not for now. The target we're monitoring has probably been dealt with."
They followed He Yue. The Cangyan people had been fooled once before, and they shouldn't fall for the same trick twice.
"Let's go, let's continue searching for the Panlong Ruins."
……
The wooden house suddenly exploded, and the demonic forces attacked. He Yue's limbs were immobilized, and he thought he was doomed. But then, in a flash, the surrounding scenery changed.
This place seems to be a cave, no, a tree hollow, because the surrounding wood has a very coarse texture and a faint damp smell.
He Yue remembered that he seemed to have been dragged in.
He turned his head and saw a stranger standing beside him, his figure somewhat blurred.
"who are you?"
"Hush!" The voice was barely audible. "The Night Wanderer appointed by the Nine Nether Emperor!"
Bao Chihai was a shrewd man. As soon as he opened his mouth, he brought up his identity. As long as the prince of Shen Kingdom heard the words "Nine Nether Emperor", he would probably be able to dispel his doubts.
There were several cracks in the tree trunk, through which light shone in from the outside.
He Yue's gaze swept over it and then froze:
Outside the crack was the scene inside the wooden house! Three of the four walls had collapsed, and dozens of powerful figures appeared out of nowhere, rushing towards Immortal Ming Ke and Yang Sheng.
Everything was magnified; these people looked to be over ten feet tall.
Were these the people who tried to arrest him? He Yue felt a cold sweat trickle down his back.
