Chapter 2119: Hang on for a Little Longer
The most powerful weapon of the West Sea Heavenly Human Tribe United Army was finally activated.
Demon Lord Ling Gu gazed at the Heavenly Ark that was several times larger than him, and he felt even more uneasy as he sensed the terrifying aura that was emanating from it. They were barely able to defend against the onslaught of tens of millions of Heavenly Humans, yet their enemy still activated their most powerful weapon?
Countless beams of holy light shot toward him and exploded on his body.
Right now, he was like a Boss who was being ganged-up on by hundreds of millions of ordinary soldiers. Although his health bar was phenomenal, it was still continuously dropping. He furiously swung his crimson saber at the measly soldiers before him, and each of his formidable strikes was able to slay tens of thousands of enemies. However, these measly soldiers were many, and the pressure that was mounted on him didn’t decrease a single bit.
That’s right… If this continued, then he would be exhausted to death!
Right at this moment, an unimaginably large heavenly power started to converge toward the West Sea Heavenly Ark that was located at the pinnacle of the sky. A tremendous blue spell formation materialized on the tail-end of the Heavenly Ark, and the churning and boundless sea started to relentlessly inject the Power of the Sea into the ark.
“Holy Mother of God! Are you done yet?” Demon Lord Ling Gu was drenched in a cold sweat.
“Almost… Hang on for a little longer…” Lan Xiaoni had summoned a Heavenly Water Divine Sword and was now trying her hardest to destroy the other pillar. A large web of cracks had already formed on the pillar.
“I’m afraid that ‘a little longer’ is exactly how much more I can last… So, please get a hurry on.”
Demon Lord Ling Gu noticed that the West Sea Heavenly Ark had already pointed its ginormous cannon toward him…
“Heaven Crushing Furious Demon Slash!” Demon Lord Ling Gu bellowed in rage as he viciously slashed his crimson demonic sword toward the West Sea Heavenly Ark. Like a bottomless abyss that separated the sea from the heavens, a jet-black saber projection shot out hundreds of kilometers and burst toward the gigantic pure-white crystalline battleship.
The Heavenly Humans who lay in the path of the saber strike were all obliterated by its devastating power.
The Heavenly Ark didn’t evade. Rather, a crystalline protective barrier suddenly materialized around its body.
Boom!
A shrill grating sound pierced through the air as the saber projection slashed into the protective barrier. Like a power that desired to annihilate heaven and earth, a devastating energy that possessed a hint of a God of Creation Stage divine being’s dao realm erupted into the air.
After the earth-shattering collision died down, Demon Lord Ling Gu couldn’t help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
“How can this be…
“There’s not even a scratch?”
Demon Lord Ling Gu couldn’t believe his eyes. His vicious attack couldn’t even breach the exterior defenses of the Heavenly Ark? One had to realize, this technique that contained his most powerful heaven crushing true intent was capable of severely wounding even Heavenly Gods!
Just how insane were the defenses of this Heavenly Ark?
“West Sea Cannon, fire!”
An ethereal voice that carried a hint of boundless magnificence traveled into Demon Lord Ling Gu’s ears.
His hair all stood on end at this instant.
At this moment, the ginormous cannon on the Heavenly Ark had already lit up with a dazzling blue light.
A deafening explosion erupted in the very next instant.
Like a spiraling, world-destroying light beam, a dark-blue energy beam furiously boomed toward his body!
Demon Lord Ling Gu’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately crossed his sabers before him to parry toward the devastating attack.
“Shatter!” He poured all of his energy into the twin sabers.
The twin sabers brought with them a brilliant glow, and as they slashed down, they even released an overwhelming black demonic aura. It was as though a world-destroying demon god was about to slice the vast sky apart.
Whoosh!
The spiraling, dark-blue light beam was indeed sliced into two bursts of energy currents.
However, the energy contained within this attack was almost infinite!
At this moment, Demon Lord Ling Gu felt as if he were fighting against the entirety of the boundless sea. It was as if they were competing to see whether the sea held more water or whether his body held more power…
“Ahhh…!”
Demon Lord Ling Gu let out a guttural roar as the meridians in his arms bulged significantly. His twin sabers quivered violently before eventually fracturing and cracking.
Boom!
His sabers shattered, and the might of the cannon strike leaped toward him mercilessly.
“Heaven Crushing Armor!”
Demon Lord Ling Gu immediately activated his most powerful defensive divine ability.
A layer of golden armor—that could block even the attacks of Heavenly Gods—materialized over his entire body. Immediately afterward, the dark-blue cannon strike crashed into his body. For a moment, it was as if he could feel the weight of the entire sea.
It felt as though a tremendous and limitless energy was about to obliterate his very existence…
Lan Xiaoni was still hacking away at the pillar. However, she had also noticed the urgency of the situation behind her.
Under the surging attack of the dark-blue cannon strike, that one hundred thousand feet tall demon appeared like a humongous mountain. He blocked the boundless sea that was surging toward her, and what entered her eyes was the sight of his tall and majestic body, as well as the tremendous blue-colored sea energy that had been sliced into two.
Lan Xiaoni was quite moved upon seeing this. Demon Lord Ling Gu was already willing to sacrifice his life, so how could she slack off? Thereupon, she started to hack at the pillar with even more force and vigor.
Energy continued to exude from the cannon strike.
Demon Lord Ling Gu’s armor was already fractured, and parts of his flesh had already been charred black. He was absolutely stunned by the devastating might of the cannon strike’s energy.
What he didn’t know was, the Heavenly Humans were even more shocked than him—they were shocked by his formidable power.
“Holy f*ck! How is he still standing?”
“Impossible! This is definitely impossible… Even Heavenly Dao-wielding Heavenly Gods will collapse under such a strike. There’s no way they could hold on for this long!”
“My God… How can such a being exist?”
“Sh*t! We’re running out of time!”
The Heavenly Humans were all transfixed with shock. The West Sea Cannon was their trump card, and just a single strike could draw upon the boundless power of the sea to annihilate heaven and earth. However, Demon Lord Ling Gu was actually able to defend against it for this long?! Was he still a demon?!
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the devastating energy on the molten-red cannon started to dissipate.
The West Sea Cannon had finished dealing its strike.
Demon Lord Ling Gu’s body remained like a majestic mountain that stood in their path…
Smoke rose from his charred body, and his Heaven Crushing Armor was a shattered mess. There was also a gaping and bloody hole in his chest, yet no blood flowed out from it. This was because his innards had already been seared by the terrifying energy of the cannon strike. How could it still bleed?
Countless Heavenly Humans were astounded by Demon Lord Ling Gu’s wretched state.
He has already become like this, yet he’s still standing? And he’s still blocking our path?
“This… Is he still alive?” a Heavenly Human Great General asked in disbelief.
However, before anyone could answer his question, Demon Lord Ling Gu suddenly opened his mouth.
“Your attacks…
“I’ll block all of them!
“Who’s next?!”
An earth-shattering roar soared through the heavens.
For the first time in their lives, the Heavenly Humans finally experienced the meaning of the term “soaring demonic spirit”!
He knew that he was no match, yet he still battled to the death. He had clearly been backed into a corner already, yet his aura was still tremendous and overwhelming. This was a true demon!
A demon lord of the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage was already this terrifying…
So just how terrifying was Cyril, a cultivator of the God of Creation Stage and the paramount being of the Demon Tribe?
Right at this moment, a deafening boom erupted from the collision of a divine sword. A colossal pillar that stood one million feet tall fractured through the middle and came crashing down onto the Sky Realm.
The last remaining pillar of the Western Heavenly Gate had finally fallen!
At this moment, tens of millions of Heavenly Humans were plunged into a furious rage.
Joy burst into Demon Lord Ling Gu’s heart. He was almost moved to tears by his own greatness.
I’ve held out.
I’ve finally held out against their attacks!
I’ve held out against tens of millions of Heavenly Humans by myself!
This is definitely a glorious achievement that’s bound to stun the entire Tai Chu Continent!
“How should we escape now?!” Demon Lord Ling Gu asked enthusiastically.
“No… don’t panic. There are still two more steps…” Lan Xiaoni said with great exertion as she carried the colossal pillar.
“First, I need to chuck the pillar into the door between the two realms. Then, I need to destroy the passageway that links the two realms. We can escape when I’m done… Hang on for a little longer.”
Demon Lord Ling Gu: “???”
