Chapter 2745 He Lingchuan's First Target
The reason why He Lingchuan launched the God-Slaying Plan at this stage was actually clear: to extinguish the Bega army's determination to attack!
In terms of troop numbers, weaponry, and logistical support, the Panlong Army is no match for the Bega Army, not to mention that Bega's side also has a large number of immortals and demons assisting them.
If you only look at the data comparison, Panlong is bound to lose; but in He Lingchuan's view, the strongest is also the weakest.
The power of immortals and demons is an advantage for the Bega army, but it can also become its weakness.
Unlike the Panlong army, which firmly believed in itself, the vast Bega army before them primarily worshipped "gods." If Panlong were to eliminate their idols one by one, the will of the Bega people and the morale of the Bega army would naturally waver along with their faith in the gods.
The Bega soldiers, including Gao Huaiyuan, believed that the key to breaking the deadlock lay with the gods.
Therefore, He Lingchuan and Panlong also believed that the key to breaking the deadlock in this battle also lay with the gods.
He Lingchuan, however, chose a more challenging goal for himself:
True Lord Tongming!
This is also a veteran demon within the Lingxu Clan, who made a name for himself in ancient times and actively cultivated his influence in the human world for the next three thousand years. Like the Lingxu Saint Venerable, he was among the first demons to gather followers in the human world, and he imitated the immortals by changing his name to "Tongming True Lord" in order to attract faith.
According to the information He Lingchuan had, this was a cunning and shrewd individual who was extremely cunning in battle and always managed to conceal himself.
Fortunately, Tong Mingzhenjun's divine status was also quite unique. Despite the numerous reports from various war zones regarding the battlefield situation, the Training and Planning Battalion, Wen Daolun, and Xu Shichu managed to find Tong Mingzhenjun's whereabouts amidst the overwhelming amount of information.
Just as He Lingchuan had predicted, due to the insufficient number of true immortal skins, He was only partially descended into an immortal skin.
Tongming Zhenjun's cultivation was quite advanced, and his ranking among the righteous gods of Lingxu Sect was not bad. Why did Lingxu Saint Venerable only assign him an immortal body instead of a true immortal body? He Lingchuan could understand this. It was because Tongming Zhenjun's famous divine technique could be used without hindrance even in an immortal body, so it was better to give the true immortal body to other great demons.
His divine magic is "domain control".
Tong Mingzhenjun is able to control the influence of gravity in the surrounding area.
He Lingchuan did not know how powerful His complete divine descent was, but it was only an avatar that had descended, so it could only control the gravity field within a 15-zhang radius around it.
But this is sufficient for small-scale battlefields.
Right now, Tongming Zhenjun is launching a fierce attack on the Ninth War Zone, surrounded by the Bejia army. This is the left flank of Mingsha Forest, a place with many ravines and difficult terrain. The Bejia army finally managed to break through a gap, and Gao Huaiyuan arranged for him to come over and expand the victory.
Tongming Zhenjun's gravity field could easily crush everyone around him to the ground, making them unable to stand up and even shattering their bones and tendons, achieving the effect of subduing the enemy without a fight—not to mention mere mortals, it had killed its own kind in the past.
However, due to the influence of Panlong Yuanli, this move was inevitably greatly diminished when used on Panlong warriors.
However, the sluggish effect of the gravity field cannot be exempted. Panlong warriors who enter the field will still feel as if a huge rock has suddenly been pressed down on their bodies, making it difficult to move their arms and legs, let alone fight with all their might.
When gravity changes drastically, the human body inevitably needs time to adapt.
But the enemy certainly wouldn't give them that chance.
The Bega soldiers, on the contrary, would move with incredible agility and speed within the gravity field. The soldiers surrounding Tong Mingzhenjun's avatar were all arranged by Gao Huaiyuan long ago and had already fully adapted to the changes in the gravity field.
Even arrows shot at them become heavy and slow under the influence of the domain, or are even pressed to the ground.
As the tide receded, the Bega soldiers, thriving around True Lord Tongming, continued to push the battle lines forward.
Moreover, as a Great Heavenly Demon, Tongming Zhenjun possesses complex and ever-changing supernatural powers. The Gravity Domain, as a manifestation of his divine nature, is merely one of the methods he is most proficient in.
He put immense pressure on the Panlong Army's defenses on the flank of Mingsha Forest. From the air, the area of attack led by True Lord Tongming was already much closer to the walls of Mingsha Forest than the other Bega armies.
If the stockade wall were to enter His domain, no matter how sturdy the wall was, would it be able to withstand the test of ten or a hundred times the gravity?
The stockade walls were certainly equipped with many defensive battle formations, but none of them were specifically designed to counter this kind of uncommon divine magic.
It is the strongest defense for the Singing Sand Forest; if it collapses, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tongming Zhenjun also felt a little regretful. If Fenghe Goddess were still alive, when he attacked the city, she could have used the Space Refraction Divine Art to send a Mountain-Turning Seal to smash the walls of Mingsha Forest. You should know that the Mountain-Turning Seal was originally as heavy as a small mountain peak, and with the influence of Tongming Zhenjun's gravity field, its weight would have increased by more than double.
Even with the Yuan Power and battle formations holding them up, how many times heavier would the walls of Mingsha Forest be able to withstand the weight of the Mountain-Turning Seal? Ten times, twenty times, or thirty times?
There must be a limit, right? Just like Tong Mingzhenjun's gravity enhancement also has an upper limit.
"That idiot, Goddess Feng He." Tong Mingzhenjun couldn't help but curse under his breath again.
The new gods promoted by the Holy Venerable Lingxu in recent years, while possessing outstanding divine arts and divine qualities, lack combat experience and cannot compare to the ancient gods. True Lord Tongming originally opposed their descent to the mortal realm to lead the charge, but the Holy Venerable Lingxu refused to listen, emphasizing the importance of overall battlefield coordination and functionality.
Look, the goddess Fenghe is a bloody example. She made a mistake in one encounter and lost her life, wasting a precious spot in the lower realm.
The further they advanced, the greater the pressure from their adversary, the Panlong Army. However, the arrows and weapons aimed at this legion were affected as soon as they entered the gravity field. Even the lightest feathered arrows, once they entered, could hardly maintain their original trajectory, as if they were slapped to the ground by an invisible hand, making a dull thud.
It didn't sound like a light, fluffy arrow; it sounded more like a large piece of bronze or iron hitting the ground.
Yunqing God followed beside Him and quickly reminded Him: "Heavenly Venerable, we will reach the stockade wall after advancing another three hundred zhang."
This is a follower of True Lord Tongming. A small lamp floats in the air beside his shoulder, its light dim and inconspicuous in this battlefield filled with chaotic supernatural powers and dazzling flames.
Their group was closer to the walls of the Mingsha Forest than the other demons.
Gao Huaiyuan remotely commanded three or four times, repeatedly reminding Tong Mingzhenjun that he was already deep in enemy territory and needed to be extremely careful. Tong Mingzhenjun ignored him and ordered the legion to rush to the walls of Mingsha Forest Village as soon as possible.
If we can break down this formidable wall, tonight's battle can end sooner. The Holy Venerable Lingxu has repeatedly warned us not to let things drag on!
