Lord of the Earth

"Oh, Lord Zhuge, what did you say? Do you perhaps have a plan to break this deadlock?"

Lu Zhishen, standing beside Zhuge Liang, said anxiously that he and Wu Song were like brothers, and seeing his brother fighting a bloody battle on the front lines, he naturally wanted to go and help...

However, due to limitations imposed by his own "aptitude," he has not yet officially advanced to the second level of cultivation...

The terrifying pressure emanating from that Asura King was like a tangible swamp, making him feel as if his bones were about to crack with every step he tried to take forward, leaving him with no ability to directly participate in this battle...

Similarly, apart from Hua Rong, who has reached the pinnacle of the peerless realm, Lin Chong, Zhang Shun, and others are currently still stuck at the peak of the first level of heaven...

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong's expression turned solemn.

Although he was known as a "wise strategist," he was truly unsettled at this crucial moment. It wasn't that he lacked wisdom, but rather that the despair brought about by the absolute power disparity was almost overwhelming his reason.

He scanned the entire battlefield rapidly, his mind working at an unprecedented pace, analyzing every possible way to "break the deadlock"...

Although this "Asura" displayed power that was extremely strong!
With a wave of its four arms, a destructive torrent of divine power, like a roaring, world-destroying serpent, tore the earth apart and ignited the air.

However, that enormous body never completely broke out of the core area of ​​the ruins in the center of the "Purple Star Imperial Guard Camp".

It seems that the remaining star map and some kind of ancient restriction are still invisibly limiting His range of movement!

"This star chart has a total of 108 stars, representing... the 108 Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends?"

"So that's how it is! The star chart is resonating, the heroic spirits are not far away! Lord Song, brothers, quickly sense the star chart beneath your feet and return to your positions!"

Wu Yong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he instantly understood!
His voice was like a wake-up call, clearly reaching the minds of every Liangshan hero in Qianxia's camp who possessed the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Destiny".

Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen... everyone had a sudden inspiration and sensed the star node that resonated with their own destiny!

"Tiankui Star, return to your place!"

Song Jiang took the lead, his figure transforming into a streak of light, and landed at the core of the star map.

"Tian Gang Star, return to your place!"

Lu Junyi, wielding the golden spear of the Qilin, shattered the ground.

Standing at another crucial juncture, the spearhead points straight to the heavens, drawing upon the power of the stars.

"Tianji Star, return to your place!"

Wu Yong gently waved his feather fan, his figure rising gracefully and landing at the node, surrounded by mysterious astrological runes.

"Tianyong Star, return to your place!"

Guan Sheng slammed his Green Dragon Crescent Blade into the ground with a clang, and behind him, a phantom image of Guan Sheng seemed to emerge, merging with the power of the stars.

"Tianxiong Star, return to your place!"

Lin Chong stood with his spear held high, its tip gleaming coldly, drawing upon the murderous aura of the stars.

As these human prodigies, each possessing a "star destiny," stepped into that ancient star map node within that "ruined military camp"...

"Everyone, help Brother Wu Song!"

The imperial edicts echoed through the ruins, and with each one, a beam of starlight, thick or thin, shot into the sky from the corresponding node, weaving together into an increasingly dazzling and dense network of starlight.

The light net rotates, radiating a breathtakingly powerful force.

Although not all of the "108 Generals" appointed by Qianxia himself appeared here... there were clearly dozens of dim gaps in the light net, preventing it from fully unleashing the power of this "great formation"...

The appearance of these humans directly rekindled the powerful beliefs of those former "heavenly soldiers"!

The entire Heavenly Army camp ruins trembled and shook, as if a colossal beast that had slumbered for millennia was awakening.

Amidst the ruins, tiny silver specks of light, imbued with indomitable fighting spirit and ancient heritage, floated from the shattered Star Gold Armor and broken weapons. Like fireflies summoned or wanderers who had found their home, they surged wildly into the bodies of their respective Qianxia heroes!
"Roar!"

As Lu Zhishen felt the new power surging and roaring within his body, he couldn't help but let out a joyful roar. His already robust body seemed to swell even more, and faint star patterns flowed beneath his skin!

Wu Yong felt his thoughts were clearer than ever before, as if he had complete control over the movement of the stars in the heavens.

Lin Chong felt the spear in his hand become as light as a feather, yet as heavy as a mountain, the spear intent and star aura perfectly combined.

Their auras rose rapidly at a visible speed, their bodies enveloped in dense starlight, ancient and mysterious star patterns automatically appeared on their armor, and their weapons were surrounded by solidified starlight, their power increasing dramatically!

One after another, star-like figures appeared in the air; they were the heroic souls of the former "Purple Star Guards" resonating with them!

"Fight! Fight!"

The powerful fighting spirit also ignited the blood of many outstanding individuals in Qianxia, ​​burning a fierce battle blaze in their eyes—a resolute killing intent to defend their homeland and fight against all invading enemies…

"Our bottleneck has been temporarily broken... and we have mastered some extremely powerful 'supernatural abilities and techniques'!"

Lu Zhishen swung his monk's staff, which suddenly stirred up a huge mountain, which crashed directly down on the "Asura King"!
The Ziwei Star Generals, as a "top-tier Glazed Army unit," possess extremely powerful "military formations," among which the "Earthly Fiend Formation" and the "Heavenly Dipper Formation" are particularly renowned...

The former grants all those forming the formation the blessing of the "Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends' Power"... This includes abilities such as communicating with the spirits, driving away demons, carrying mountains, concealing the sun, controlling the wind, spitting flames, creating a celestial pot, divine speed, staff disintegration, doppelganger, invisibility, head regeneration, immobilization, and demon slaying...

At this moment, the heroes of the Earthly Fiends sequence exhibited a variety of strange phenomena, some with blurred figures, some spewing flames, and some possessing immense strength.

Even more powerful is the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Formation"... which can be directly mastered as a powerful Heavenly Gang divine power—manipulating creation; reversing yin and yang; shifting stars and changing constellations; turning back the heavens and reversing the sun; summoning wind and rain; shaking mountains and earth...

At this moment, the heroes of Qianxia unleashed these supernatural powers one by one, working together to help Wu Song fight against this supreme deity!
Chains of starlight shot out from the net of light, wrapping around the Asura King's arm; an invisible spatial barrier condensed before Wu Song, blocking the fatal attack; healing starlight showered down, restoring his injuries...

"Damn it... How dare ants shake the heavens?!" However, it must be said that this supreme deity was also extremely fierce, facing the combined attack of dozens of outstanding figures from the Qianxia region.

He neither dodged nor avoided, but instead wildly swung his four arms, unleashing a storm of destructive divine power that shattered the star chains inch by inch. His fists slammed into the spatial barrier, producing a deafening roar!

"How laughable! When you were alive, you were no match for me... Now, you still want to be reborn through another body? How delusional!"

Asura roared, unleashing a powerful aura. Dark golden divine blood boiled on his body, forming burning flames that briefly forced back the surrounding stellar power... This was the ultimate deity... His tenacity and power were beyond imagination!
"Heavens, do you even consider yourself heaven?"

“Even if you truly are ‘Heaven’… I, Qianxia, ​​will today ‘slay Heaven’… Your Majesty, please use the artifact of the Gods’ Conferment!”

With his black hair dancing wildly and empowered by numerous forces, Wu Song was now able to confront this "peerless deity" head-on.

Especially after Summer got Summer's consent.

"The tablet for inviting the gods..."

Numerous celestial and terrestrial heroes roared, and pillars of starlight shot out from their bodies!
hum!
Guided by the star map, the immense power of the stars converged and compressed, eventually manifesting in mid-air in the center of the camp as a colossal, ancient, and weathered phantom of a "divine monument"!
Indeed, the treasure that the Qianxia Dynasty used as the foundation of its nation and the vessel for the conferment of divine power has now become a quasi-glass artifact—the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend God Stele!
This "divine monument," formed from the pure power of the stars and the fighting spirit of ancient heroes, carried immense force and crashed down upon the Asura King!

Wherever it passed, space froze and all things fell silent.

boom!
Even before the divine stele arrived, the magnificent power that specifically restrains evil spirits and suppresses destiny had already descended upon him.

Asura King groaned, and the black flames of destruction burning around his body dimmed as if he had been doused with cold water. His divine body even emitted a sizzling sound, and he spat out a small mouthful of dark golden divine blood.

"This is... the complete power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends? How is this possible? There were only fifty-odd of you..."

Even the expression on the face of this Asura King changed drastically.

The appearance of this divine stele not only exerted direct pressure on him, but also made him feel something.

The binding force emanating from the star map beneath his feet was increasing. Although those originally dim nodes were unoccupied, they were now glowing faintly, drawing on the stellar energy of heaven and earth. Larger and thicker chains were binding him to his body!

"Damn it, it actually has the blessing of a 'quasi-divine artifact'... But that's all... With just that, it's wishful thinking to think it can defeat me."

However, even with the blessing of the "divine stele", the King of Asura was not "suppressed".

He was both shocked and furious. He unleashed all four arms, and the power of destruction surged forth, condensing above his head into a three-headed, six-armed, and ferocious "Asura World Destroyer Statue." It held off the falling phantom of the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend God Stele." The dark red light clashed fiercely with the starlight, annihilating each other, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

"Not enough? Then bring some more!"

The phantom of "Starry Sky Soldiers" appeared behind him, and Wu Song, who was almost one with him, was filled with fighting spirit. He could feel that the power of the phantom of the divine stele was being worn away by the opponent!

Even the projection of the "quasi-real artifact" could not defeat the opponent.

"The stars converge, the gods descend to earth..."

One by one, the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends" were of one mind and roared in unison, pouring all the surging star power within their bodies, along with the heroic fighting spirit of the ancient Ziwei Guards that had been activated, into the huge star map beneath their feet!

Om-!
The entire star map seemed to come alive. The starlight in the sky was like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically gathering and compressing in the air, and finally transforming into a "Star God General" who was thousands of feet tall, wearing a suit of armor of stars, with a blurred face but exuding supreme majesty that ruled the heavens and suppressed everything!
The mere presence of this divine general caused the entire void to freeze. The halberd in his hand, formed from the purest stellar power, trembled slightly, emitting a sharp aura that made even gods tremble. Fine black cracks continuously appeared in the space around the halberd's blade.

"This is... the battle intent incarnation of Po Jun Divine General, one of the seven quasi-true gods under the command of Emperor Ziwei?!"

For the first time, the once arrogant and domineering Asura King revealed a hint of fear and apprehension from the depths of his soul.

"cut!"

The Star God General spoke indifferently, his voice devoid of any emotion, like the very laws governing the movement of stars. He casually swung his Star Halberd, without any dazzling light or shadow.

Only a single beam of condensed halberd light, seemingly compressed from the entire galaxy, traversed space, ignoring the layers of divine power defenses laid down by the Asura King, and aimed directly at the core of his soul and the "Eye of Asura" that served as the source of his power!
"Arrogant! He's nothing but a quasi-god incarnation formed from the remnants of star power and the obsessions of the dead! How dare he covet the 'ancestral artifact' of my Asura clan..."

The Asura King roared, turning all fear into a final frenzy.

The next moment, the vertical eye between its brows, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened. After its blood exploded, it transformed into a dark red, almost black, beam of blood that shot into the sky. In the air, it condensed into a smaller but more solid and more violent phantom of a "six-armed Asura Demon God," wielding a weapon materialized from the laws of destruction, and fiercely met the starlight halberd!

It's important to understand that this is the eye of a "true god," and it's also the trump card that allowed it to survive the siege of the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation"...

At this moment, he suddenly unleashed a "quasi-god" power that was enough to crush everything...

"Well, is it you?"

However, after this "Ancestral Spirit of Asura" appeared, it seemed to have sensed something.

The previously blurry face of the "Star God General" seemed to become clear for a moment, and when his eyes, which were made of stars, opened and closed, endless light of star birth and death surged out!

The halberd in his hand emitted a joyful, clear sound, and his power surged instantly.

The light of that star halberd suddenly became more than ten times brighter, and with the will to judge and end everything, it pressed down fiercely!
Before that "battle halberd" that seemed to contain the ultimate truth of the birth and death of stars, the demonic phantom condensed by the Asura King let out a mournful cry and shattered inch by inch like fragile glass. His four arms, which were capable of tearing stars apart, along with the powerful weapon he held, broke and crumbled.

"No, how could this be... You are not..."

Caught off guard, the Asura King's face was filled with horror. His dark golden divine body, which was a hundred feet tall, was covered with dense cracks like a spider web. Destructive star power was rampaging wildly within his body, destroying all life!
"Do not--!"

In a roar filled with fear and resentment.

The powerful body of the Asura King shattered with a deafening roar, turning into the most primordial divine dust that filled the air above the ruins!
It was like a shower of dark golden rain.

The four weapons in his hands, whose spiritual light had dimmed along with his shattering, fell to the ground. These items all belonged to the "Supreme Divine Weapons" level of the third heaven...

However, his divine power was greatly diminished in the battle.

Only a cracked, dull, dark red crystal, roughly the size of a fist—the "Eye of Asura"—fell to the ground with a crisp thud. (End of Chapter)
