Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 511 Cannon
It’s not that they didn’t try hard, but the enemy was too strong and they had no choice but to ask for help.

"This formation is mysterious. To avoid getting trapped in it, we should not go too deep into it after entering. We should just stay around the edge of the formation. This way, if we encounter danger, we can escape from the formation in time."

The disciples of the two sects reached a consensus on how to break through the formation.

Their intention is to test, so they just need to pretend, but they cannot really get trapped in it. If they do so, although it can alarm the saint, their end will probably not be good.

Alerting the saint by being injured and alarming the saint by dying are two different things.

"go!"

After the disciples of the two sects reached a consensus, they no longer hesitated and joined hands to construct a mysterious formation and headed towards Tongtianze.

The Jie Religion was powerful, and if they fought alone, they would only die faster, so the two sides had already joined forces, and even spent a considerable amount of time to jointly deduce a formation.

This formation may not be mysterious enough, but it can integrate the strength of the disciples of the two sects and maximize their advantages.

In this way, even if they enter the void formation, relying on this formation, even if they cannot break the formation, they can still buy enough time to escape.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and they finally couldn't bear it anymore, so they joined forces and entered the formation."

"Tens of thousands of years, they are really patient. If it were me, I would have rushed in without caring about anything. It's just a matter of death, what's there to be afraid of."

Seeing that the disciples of the two sects had finally made up their minds to join forces to break through the formation, the disciples of the Jie Sect who were maintaining the formation finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The disciples of the two sects were really too patient. They thought that after the disciples of the two sects arrived, they would immediately start the final decisive battle with them.

Unexpectedly, the disciples of the two sects stopped in front of the formation and endured for tens of thousands of years without taking any action, which made the disciples of the Jie Sect inside wait for a long time.

You know, although they have the upper hand, they also have a huge hidden danger. That hidden danger is the karma that is entangled with them.

The karma triggered by the killing calamity will interfere with the mind of the cultivator, causing him to gradually lose control until he completely loses his sanity and falls into madness.

Before they arrived at Tongtian Lake, this group of Jiejiao disciples had already shown this tendency. It was only because Ao Bing arrived in time and taught them the secret method, and barely suppressed their karma with the power of merit, that they were able to stay awake temporarily.

But the power of merit is limited after all, and the power of the killing calamity is still increasing. Therefore, they can't stay awake for long, and after tens of thousands of years, they have already reached their limit.

If it drags on any longer, there will be no need for disciples from the two sects to break the formation. They will be unable to hold on and will fall into madness under the influence of the killing calamity, and then kill each other, causing the formation to collapse on its own.

Fortunately, when they couldn't hold on any longer, the disciples of the two sects outside the formation were also about to be unable to hold on. Otherwise, why would they risk entering the formation?

This is a game of mutual consumption between the two sides. Neither side has outlasted the other and they are almost unable to hold on. It can only be said that the two sides are evenly matched.

"Hey, fellow Taoists, look, they are so cautious. They said they were breaking into the formation, but in fact they didn't really enter the formation. Instead, they stayed halfway outside."

"In this way, if the formation changes, they can retreat in time and won't be trapped and killed by us."

The disciples of Jiejiao in the formation had not been happy for long before they were surprised by the performance of the disciples of the two sects who came to break into the formation.

They were too afraid of death to actually enter the formation, so they deliberately left half of them outside. This way, whether to advance or retreat was all up to them, and even the Jiejiao disciples inside the formation could not keep them.

"Something is wrong. We have the power of merit and can hardly hold on any longer, but why are they still able to stay awake?"

"Although the disciples of both sects have merits, it is impossible that all of them have more merits than us, right?"

"There's something fishy about this. Could they be cheating?"

At this time, someone realized that something was wrong.

They are now affected by the killing calamity and their minds are on the verge of losing control. For this reason, they have to devote a lot of energy to staying awake to prevent themselves from losing control.

This means that none of them are at their peak now, and their strength is only one-tenth or two-tenth of what it was at their peak.

As they were like this, the disciples of the two sects on the other side should be about the same as them. Even if they were stronger, they were not much stronger.

But according to their observations, they found that the impact on the disciples of the two sects was very small, their minds remained relatively clear, and their strength was not greatly affected.

Even if I can't play to 80%, I can at least play to 60% or 70%. My condition is much better than theirs.

This is irrational, very irrational. It is unreasonable for one party to be affected while the other party is almost unaffected when both parties are in the same disaster.

"Oh, there's no need to look at it. It must be the saint behind them who took action and cheated for them. That's why they are like this and are rarely affected by the killing calamity."

"Master is still too honest and can't defeat these treacherous villains."

Zhao Gongming came back to his senses and said in a hateful tone. Because of his high level, he was less affected, so he was able to remain clear-headed. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed the reason why something was wrong.

"The Chan Sect has a method to replace the calamity. As long as their disciples are still there, most of the impact of the killing calamity will affect their disciples, and the remaining part will naturally not have much impact on them."

"As for the Western sect disciples, it's even simpler. They are best at the law of cause and effect. They can completely distribute the karma to the disciples in other places and let them bear the consequences on their behalf, so as to reduce the impact of the killing disaster on themselves."

"We are the only ones who, relying on our powerful strength, choose to foolishly resist. Naturally, we cannot outlast them."

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Zhao Gongming explained.

"Then according to Senior Brother Zhao, they can't outlast them? What should we do? Judging from the intentions of the two disciples, although they want to enter the formation, they are still mainly testing the waters."

"I'm afraid that in the short term, they won't make a big move into the formation, but will continue to fight with us at the edge of the formation."

"It's just that they can afford to waste time, but we can't. I can clearly feel that I can't hold on for much longer, at least a few months, at most a few years, I'm afraid I will lose control."

Upon hearing this, a Jiejiao disciple said worriedly.

His condition was not good, his eyes had turned blood red, and the murderous intent in his heart kept rising. He could only barely stay awake now, and he could lose control at any time.

"Yes!"

"They can afford to waste time, but we are about to give up. It is better to fight them than to kill each other."

The other disciples of Jiejiao, who were about to lose control, nodded in agreement. If they dragged on, it would inevitably lead to a fight. Instead of that, they might as well rush out and fight with the disciples of the two sects while they were still sober.

"Then we have to fight them. However, even if we do, we have to fight with wisdom. We cannot give up our advantages and foolishly rush out to die."

"So, let's put on a show for the disciples of both sects to watch, so that they will think that we can no longer hold on, have fallen into madness, and are killing each other."

“When the disciples of the two sects see this, they will definitely think that this is their chance and rush directly into the formation. While we are killing each other, they will eliminate us.”

Zhao Gongming pondered for a moment and came up with an idea. He guessed that the other party kept dragging it out because they were probably trying to drag them to death.

He could use this mentality of the disciples of the two sects to induce them to launch a general attack. "That's right, Senior Brother Zhao is right. Let's do this."

Hearing this, everyone echoed.

Zhao Gongming's plan cannot be said to be very powerful. It can even be said that there are many loopholes and it would never be passed under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, everyone was on the verge of losing control. They had no energy to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps. When they felt that it was almost done, they didn't think much about it and just wanted to implement the plan directly.

While the disciples of Jiejiao were preparing to lure the enemy, something unexpected happened in Chaoge.

The four great princes had just set up camp outside the city of Chaoge when they saw the city gates suddenly opened. Thousands of soldiers, led by their generals, rushed out of the city and rushed towards the armies of the princes from all directions.

"How brave!"

"We haven't even attacked the city yet, and you dare to attack us. You are really courting death."

"Since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish. Soldiers, listen to my orders, kill and repel the enemy, and enter Chaoge City in one fell swoop."

When the princes from all directions saw this, they were all extremely furious and immediately mobilized their armies to attack.

In their view, it was foolish of Chaoge to send troops out of the city to launch an attack.

Isn't this a suicide attack? The soldiers used by the princes from all directions to besiege the city are not only elite, but their numbers also far exceed the defenders in the city.

In this situation, if the defenders in the city launch an attack unexpectedly when the enemy is unprepared, it can indeed have some effect.

But they could not think of any other possibility except suicide if they launched an attack in broad daylight.

It couldn't be that Emperor Xin thought that he could turn the tide and defeat the four princes who were besieging the city just by relying on the defenders in the city, right?

How funny!

boom! boom! boom……

Just when the four princes had just come up with this absurd idea, a violent roar suddenly came from outside. Then, there were noisy exclamations and disordered footsteps.

The army seems to be in chaos?

The four princes suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, and hurriedly walked out of the tent and looked outside.

The army, which had been well-organized before, suddenly became extremely disorganized for some reason, and the faces of the soldiers were filled with panic, as if they had been extremely frightened.

This discovery made the four princes all worried.

How can the army form a battle formation when it is in such a mess? If they cannot form a battle formation, then they will have no power to resist the elite troops of the Shang Dynasty who are coming to kill them, and they may really be killed.

Thinking of this, the four great princes all panicked and hurriedly gave orders, urging the generals in the army to reorganize the troops as soon as possible and form a new battle formation to resist the elite troops of the Shang Dynasty who were about to attack.

No matter what, they had to reorganize their army before they attacked and put up an effective resistance. Otherwise, the four great princes would suffer heavy losses this time.

While urging their generals, the four great princes all looked towards Chaoge City curiously, wanting to know what had happened to cause their troops to be in chaos.

"That is……"

The four of them looked up and could clearly see that large black iron pipes had been extended from the tall city wall of Chaoge City at some point in time.

The surface of the iron pipe was covered with dense runes, which were emitting a faint glow.

Then they were horrified to see that the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be swallowed up by a whale, rushing madly into the iron pipe, compressing and compressing again and again.

Finally, when the spiritual energy was compressed to the limit, it suddenly burst out like a meteor, smashing into their own camp.

The next moment, there was a loud bang and a violent explosion was heard. A deep pit was blown out in the ground and the soldiers nearby suffered heavy losses.

"What kind of magic weapon is this? How can it be so powerful?"

Ji Fa first cried out in surprise, then quickly looked at Jiang Ziya and Huang Feihu. They were both important officials of the Shang Dynasty, so they should know what those iron pipes were.

"This thing is called a cannon, and it is a magic weapon made by Lord Long. I don't know what its specific function is, because Lord Long has never told anyone."

"I'm afraid that even the king in Chaoge City only recently learned about the function of this item."

"Lord Long is the best at keeping secrets. Even the king can't be asked about things he doesn't want others to know, let alone us."

Jiang Ziya explained to Ji Fa while integrating the army.

He had followed Ao Bing for a period of time, so he had seen the cannon, but he didn't know its function. He only knew that it was a magic weapon refined by Ao Bing.

As for Huang Feihu, he had never even met him, and Ao Bing had long been on guard against him. The eldest son worshipped the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect as his master, and was unwilling to cut off his ties with him. How could such a person be reused?
"Ah, Lord Long's wisdom is truly admirable. How lucky is the Shang Dynasty? What virtue and ability do you have to have his assistance?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fa couldn't help but feel extremely jealous of Emperor Xin.

Because he was so lucky, when the empire was about to collapse, he met Ao Bing, a man of extraordinary talent. With Ao Bing's assistance, he managed to save the empire from collapse and brought Dashan to a new peak.

How could people not be jealous of the tyrant Emperor Xin who could meet such an outstanding person, but the benevolent emperor who could not?
"Your Excellency, please don't think so. Even with the help of Lord Long, the King of Shang has been able to reach this point, which just proves that he is a tyrant and a foolish ruler."

"If he had listened to Lord Long's advice, the world would still be peaceful and prosperous, and the Shang Dynasty would still be prosperous. How could it have come to this?"

Huang Feihu heard this and said in a deep voice.

The Shang Dynasty rose to power with Emperor Xin and also fell with him. The reason was that he did not listen to the advice of the Dragon Palace and insisted on messing around.

If not, how could the prosperous Shang Dynasty decline so quickly?

He did not employ wise ministers and did not listen to wise advice, so Emperor Xin deserved the title of a tyrant.

"That's right, Emperor Xin is extremely stupid. If not, how could he have destroyed the prosperous era left by Lord Long and forced all the princes in the world to rebel?"

Ji Fa said excitedly that he had one more reason to rebel against Shang. This matter could prove that Emperor Xin was stupid, and he could not refute it no matter what.

"Array up!"

At this time, Jiang Ziya had already integrated part of the troops and formed them into a new battle formation. He gathered the blood and energy of the soldiers into a vast ocean, which stood in front of the army and blocked the incoming shells.
