Lord of the Earth

Baiyujing, Longyuan City.

The majestic city walls, winding like a giant dragon, bear countless battle marks and exude an aura of iron will and indomitable spirit. These are the traces left from battles fought against enemies such as the Water Demon, Gana, the Sea Clan, and the Blackbeard Pirates.

At this moment, this area of ​​battle-hardened power was once again enveloped by five incomparably powerful demigod pressures, and the air became as stagnant as lead.

On the Tai Xuan Sect's side, the person leading the way was none other than its deputy sect leader, "Zhen Wu".

On his left and right sides stood two even more imposing peak demigods with arrogant eyes—a sinister old man in a black robe and a beautiful woman in red!

"We have come by divine command! Open the city gates immediately, hand over our Tai Xuan Sect Master Dao Xuan, and offer an apology. Otherwise, our sect's founder will personally arrive, and things will become unmanageable!"

“Don’t make the mistake of yourself!”

Zhenwu held a heavy, mountain-like seal with flowing yellow light in his hand, but his tone was not particularly stern.

This was because, on the human Great Wall opposite them, two burly figures exuding demigod aura stood like javelins, none other than Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, who were ordered to guard this place!

“Zhenwu, this place is the heartland of Qianxia. Your Taixuan Sect is launching a large-scale invasion. Do you intend to start a war with Qianxia?”

At this moment, many of Qianxia's top geniuses have been transferred to the City of Saints to fight against the calamity, leaving the defenses of the major cities relatively weak.

Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen were only at the "quasi-jade white" level of near-prodigies.

However, despite holding the rank of "Military Master," being blessed by the nation's fortune, and possessing a powerful artifact bestowed upon him by the summer, he showed no fear when facing these Tai Xuan Sect members who arrived carrying such artifacts.

"This is the will of the gods. Do you wish to defy them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenwu rebuked him, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.

Unlike his fellow disciples who had just integrated into the Eternal Land from the "Upper Realm," he, as the Vice Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect in charge of daily affairs, was well aware that Qian Xia's strength was now extremely formidable.

Once the two sides go to war, not only will there be widespread death and destruction, but the outcome will also be uncertain!

However, the fact that the sect leader of the Tai Xuan Sect was detained meant that there was no room for compromise.

Previously, the Tai Xuan Sect was unable to retrieve its sect leader. Now that their own deity has arrived, if they still cannot retrieve their sect leader, wouldn't the deity's visit have been in vain?

"Why waste words with them? Take them hostage, and I bet Qian Xia won't get Senior Brother Dao Xuan back!"

The woman in red said disdainfully.

She clearly had a close relationship with "Dao Xuan," who was suppressed in Baiyujing.

Besides Zhenwu, the other two demigods, as generals under the gods, were naturally arrogant and proud.

The sinister male demigod held a long banner filled with black mist and murderous aura, while the red-clad female demigod wielded a divine sword surrounded by flames that scorched the sky and burned the earth!

"Just do it!"

The next moment, two items appeared.

It has already unleashed its magnificent divine power, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

As the rules of heaven and earth coalesce, the power that "divine weapons" can unleash also increases. It may not be as powerful as a true god, but even if it can unleash 30% of its power, it is enough to deter conventional forces!

However, Qianxia is no ordinary force!

Rather, it was a "quasi-imperial dynasty" spanning millions of miles.

"Let's see who dares!"

On the city wall, Lin Chong's tiger-like eyes were wide open, and the black serpent spear in his hand suddenly hummed.

This jet-black spear, seemingly soaked in the icy liquid of ten thousand years-old black iron, gleamed with a chilling, dark light at its tip. It transformed into a black shadow that tore through dozens of miles of sky, precisely piercing the Blazing Heaven Sword in the red-clad woman's hand.

Where the spear passed, the air was stirred into a dark vortex, and the two characters "Po Jun" engraved on the spearhead burst forth with a dark red light, carrying an indomitable and resolute killing intent.

"Let me see what you're made of!"

Lu Zhishen roared like thunder, and the Xuan Tie Demon-Subduing Zen Staff was swung into a golden arc.

The demon-subduing runes on the staff lit up, bursting out a golden radiance of Buddha light that stretched for a hundred miles, like the blazing sun breaking through the dawn, directly striking the sinister old man holding the Xuanming Water Control Banner.

These two divine artifacts, crafted with the utmost care by Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, perfectly match the two men's status as military leaders. At this moment, one black and one gold, they complement each other, their power no less than that of top geniuses!

"boom!"

The power of the four divine weapons clashed fiercely in mid-air!

The crimson flames of the Blazing Fire Sword collided with the dark, cold light of the Serpent Spear, erupting with a sizzling sound as sparks and black mist intertwined and fell; the black light of the Mysterious Nether Banner clashed with the golden light of the Zen Staff, stirring up a tug-of-war between light and shadow across half the sky.

The immense power tore the void open like a spiderweb, and the violent impact spread like a tsunami.

Lin Chong felt his arm go numb from the shock, and his black spear almost slipped from his hand. He was jolted back three steps, and the soles of his boots plowed three deep grooves into the city bricks. Lu Zhishen groaned, the golden light of his monk's staff dimmed slightly, and his tall body was thrown half a foot off the ground, with bricks and stones from the city wall behind him falling down in a rustling sound.

The thousands of soldiers on the city wall were thrown about by the force of the air, many of them clutching their chests and coughing up blood, but none of them retreated. Instead, they gripped their weapons and shouted in unison.

"Hmm? A mere ordinary demigod from the lower realm dares to obstruct us?"

The woman in red and the sinister old man who were stopped frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in their eyes.

Ouch!
The old man gently shook the Xuanming Water Control Banner in his hand, and the black water on the banner surged. In an instant, the wailing of ten thousand ghosts resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The endless Yin energy transformed into a surging black tide, carrying terrifying laws that freeze souls and erode life force. It instantly engulfed Lin Chong's serpent spear's cold light and, like a bone-deep infection, surged back towards the two of them.

Lu Zhishen's Demon-Subduing Golden Light crashed into the Black Tide, like a spark falling into a pot of oil. The golden light quickly dimmed, frantically eroded by the filthy evil energy, and even the runes on his staff began to flicker erratically.

A fierce glint flashed in the red-clad woman's eyes: "Burning Heaven with Blazing Fire, go!"

The crimson divine sword flew out of his hand, transforming in the air into a giant fiery dragon that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas. Its scales were formed from raging flames, and its breath carried the intense heat to burn everything. It roared and pounced on Lin Chong, igniting even the air in its path, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

"Break the Army! Subdue the Demon!"

"Fellow soldiers, lend us a hand!" Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen roared, showing no fear whatsoever!
The eighteen-foot serpent spear transformed into a cold star tearing through the purgatory, and the black iron Zen staff swung to unleash the demonic golden ring. The divine weapons in the hands of the two men shone brightly, completely merging with the immense military aura condensed by the two hundred thousand suppressing troops behind them, instantly transforming into a blood-red dragon covering a hundred miles, its scales appearing and disappearing, emitting a low roar!
With a swing of its claws, it tore through the boundless black water in the air, and even swatted away the giant fire dragon with a single claw!

"The power of the military formation is indeed impressive... However, how can mortals contend with gods? It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

"Zhenwu, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"

The beautiful woman in red robes shouted sharply, and the flames of the Blazing Sword blazed even brighter!
"Earth element, guard the mountain, go!"

Zhenwu Zhenren hesitated, knowing full well the terrifying power of Qianxia, ​​but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.

Rumble!
The great seal of the Earth element swelled in the wind, transforming into a colossal mountain that could support the heavens. Carrying the heavy laws that suppressed all things, it crashed down on the Great Wall of the human race that guarded this place.

This time, the three attacks, each containing the divine power of the gods, were inherently incompatible (water and fire), but under the mediation and stabilization of the Earth Seal, they surprisingly merged.

A fiery dragon, accompanied by raging, chilling waves, created a "water and fire inferno" that covered the heavens and the earth!
The blazing fire, nourished by the Yin Sha water, not only did not extinguish but became even more violent and bizarre. The cold water vapor was evaporated by the flames, turning into a scorching poisonous mist containing corrosive power. The giant mountain of Wutu acted like a stabilizing pillar, firmly imprisoning this terrifying inferno and pressing down on the "Great Wall of Humanity" with doubled power!
"Human race, the Great Wall stands tall! All armies, aid me! Let us build a thousand-mile-long barrier!"

Sensing the power of their opponent's "fusion technique," Lin and Lu roared and unleashed their own "heavy weapons."

Rumble!
The entire Northern Wall suddenly lit up with a thick, earthy yellow light, as if a sleeping dragon vein had been awakened. The powerful earth vein energy was drawn by the military formation and merged with the blood-red dragon, transforming into a huge "mountain and river barrier" that stretched across the front of the wall.

Above the barrier, above the barrier, the phantom images of the Five Sacred Mountains rise and fall, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River flow endlessly, every inch of light and shadow exudes the weight and indomitable spirit of the mountains and rivers of Qianxia, ​​firmly protecting the defending army behind it.

Boom!

The inferno of water and fire crashed violently against the mountain and river barrier, and the earth-shattering explosion swept in all directions!

Flames raged, black water corroded, poisonous fog filled the air, and the mountain and river barriers shook violently, yet they still firmly protected the numerous Qianxia soldiers behind them.

"May the mountains and rivers of Qianxia forever guard the border!"

Two hundred thousand soldiers roared in unison, their blood, will, and deepest love for the land beneath their feet pouring into the crumbling army and defenses!

The natural barrier suddenly burst forth with its final, and most dazzling, light.

The crimson dragon roared to the sky, temporarily resisting the erosion of the water and fire purgatory. It even pressed down on the three Tai Xuan demigods with a violent will, causing the light of the three divine weapons to pause!
"what?!"

The three Tai Xuan demigods' expressions changed slightly, clearly not expecting that their opponent could still unleash such a powerful resistance under the pressure of the three powerful divine artifacts.

"A desperate struggle! The power of the gods is not something you ants can defy! All saints, pray to our Tai Xuan Sect's founder... to bless the divine weapons..."

The beautiful woman in red robes let out a shrill cry, and the flames of her Blazing Sword surged!
"Hmph! Stubborn resistance! Water and fire clash, Earth is the foundation, break through!"

The sinister-looking old man grinned maliciously and activated the Xuanming Banner with all his might!
"town!"

Zhenwu also activated the Wutu Seal in his hand with all his might, and the giant mountain phantom shone brightly, doubling its suppressive power.

"Grandmaster, above... my Tai Xuan Dao, profound and mysterious... the gateway to all wonders!"

Behind them, three hundred "saints" with the cultivation level of Saint Realm chanted, emanating a powerful "faith" force, which condensed into three "divine shadows" with a height of "thousand feet" in the air.

Each of them made their move and grasped the three "divine weapons".

The next moment, the light on the divine weapon became even more dazzling, and boundless pressure emanated from it.

These three "divine weapons" are the natal artifacts of the gods, each containing a wisp of the gods' primordial divine power.

Its power is far beyond that of ordinary divine artifacts!
boom! ! !
The divine power contained within the three divine weapons was fully activated!
Each released a "divine power," and the three elements of water, fire, and earth merged together to form a "Three Powers Annihilation Divine Light" that could annihilate all things. In an instant, it pierced through the brilliant but ultimately powerless mountain and river barrier of the Qianxia defenders!
puff!puff!
Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen were struck dumb, their weapons slipped from their hands, and blood gushed from their bodies!

The army formation of 200,000 human soldiers behind them also collapsed with a roar. Everyone was injured and their aura was weak. The absolute gap between their realm and divine power was something that even an "army formation" could not overcome!

Of course, the main reason is that these troops are not the powerful "Jade White troops", but rather the "Chariot Battalion and Ghost Vulture Guard" under the two men who are at the quasi-Jade White level!

"Take it!"

Upon seeing Qianxia's side defeated, a fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes. The "divine shadow" formed from the black water of the Xuanming Banner suddenly materialized into a giant hand, violently grabbing towards the heavily injured Lin and Lu...

"How dare you desecrate my territory and my soldiers!"

A calm yet supremely majestic voice, as powerful as a thunderclap from the heavens, resounded in their ears.

hum!
The space rippled like water, and an ancient and desolate bronze gate opened silently. Xia Tian, ​​dressed in a colorful dragon robe with cloud patterns, stepped out from it.

He didn't even look at the giant black water hand that had been grabbed; his gaze was directly locked onto the three powerful divine weapons floating in the air: the Blazing Heaven Sword, the Mysterious Netherworld Water Control Banner, and the Earth Suppressing Mountain Seal!

hum!
next moment.

An ancient scroll, radiating boundless primordial energy and seemingly bearing the weight of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and the will of hundreds of millions of people, suddenly unfolded above his palm.

It was his natal divine weapon—the Xuanhuang Heavy Weapon, the Battle Map of the Land!
The moment the scroll was unfurled, the entire Northern Great Wall, and even the wider Qianxia territory, resonated with it! The dragon veins of the earth roared, and the fortune of the mountains and rivers surged.

A vast and mighty force, capable of ruling over all lands and establishing the order of the universe, suddenly descended!
"town!"

Summer speaks the truth, palms lightly pressed!
Boom!

The area covered by the Jiangshan Battle Map instantly expanded to a range of three hundred miles, transforming into a magnificent scroll that blotted out the sky, directly enveloping the three divine weapons!

Within the painting, the Great Wall meanders like a dragon, the magnificent landscape comes to life, and the primordial energy descends like the Milky Way from the heavens!

The raging Blazing Sky Sword Flame was as if bound by an invisible giant net, its flames contracting rapidly and emitting a mournful cry of resentment.

The surging Xuanming Water Control Black Tide was instantly diluted and assimilated as if it had encountered a vast and boundless ocean, losing all its ferocity.

The illusory image of the giant mountain that suppressed all things, the Earth element, seemed to be attracted and encompassed by the even more magnificent and splendid landscape in the painting. It trembled violently, and cracks appeared on the mountain. The light of the three divine weapons was forcibly suppressed and imprisoned!
"puff!"

"what!"

"Oh no, the lord's weapon..."

The three Tai Xuan demigods who had activated their divine weapons were struck as if by a heavy backlash. They spat out blood essence containing divine power, their faces turned as pale as paper, and their auras instantly weakened to the extreme!

They felt as if the divine weapon they held in their hands was about to be forcibly taken away, or even refined, by that "landscape painting"! (End of Chapter)
