Wang Chong had the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, the Art of God and Demon Obliteration, and also a part of the Origin Immortal Art. In addition, he had the peerlessly sharp Origin Immortal Sword. Even the practically unkillable Earth Devil would find it a difficult task to petrify him.
“Hurry and help him!”
A cry rang out, and then several figures rushed past Wang Chong and landed on the still-unsevered arm of the Earth Devil.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, and the Bone Devil Ancestor began to wildly attack the massive arm.
“Eternal Spring Oblivion!”
“Black Dragon Rot!”
“Universe Sundering Art!”
“Bone Devil Strike!”
Stellar Energy rumbled as various attacks barraged the Earth Devil’s arm.
This was one of the few times Song Yuanyi went on the offensive. Green bolts of energy howled through the air and plunged into the giant arm. These green bolts of Stellar Energy flowed all across the arm, but this Stellar Energy was not here to boost the Earth Devil’s vitality.
A full moon would begin to wane and utmost hardness would give in to softness. When vitality became extremely concentrated, it would convert into pure destructive power. Crick! Crack! With this one strike, the Earth Devil’s stone body began to crack, large chunks peeling off.
At this moment, Xie Guangting’s Universe Sundering Art struck, destructive waves of power emanating from the impact site and rumbling into the Earth Devil’s arms and insides. Crash! A part of the stone arm at least three meters thick and thirty to forty meters long instantly crumbled apart and tumbled into the abyss.
Two attacks had halved the Earth Devil’s connection to the rock wall, and it seemed like it would fall at any moment.
Roooar!
The Earth Devil roared, seemingly sensing the danger it was in. In a flash, its Stellar Energy seethed, and the remaining arm it had thrust into the wall began to absorb vast quantities of stone, quickly restoring the parts that had been broken off. The clacking and crunching of more and more stone gathering on the arm resounded through the region.
“Stop it, stop it now! It can’t be allowed to succeed!”
The Bone Devil Ancestor leapt down from the rocky walls onto the Earth Devil’s massive arm.
Boom!
The bone devil’s two large arms, formed from innumerable fragments, rose high into the air and then came slamming down. Stone fragments shot outward as the bone devil blasted two large pits into the arm of the Earth Devil, exploding its way through nearly half the arm.
Awooo!
A moment later, in a great dark cloud, countless wailing ghost generals and soldiers, completely unaffected by physical laws, flew through the air, landed on the Earth Devil’s arm, and began to gnaw away at it like ants.
These ghost soldiers and generals had no physical bodies, but their offensive power was still not to be underestimated. Bang! A ghost soldier bit down like a savage beast and immediately shaved off a palm-sized piece of stone, as did thousands of other ghosts. Their combined effort soon shaved a large chunk of stone off the Earth Devil’s arm.
Meanwhile, the Black Yin Ancestor’s black dragon had swum to the end of the Earth Devil’s arm, where it rained down attack after attack on the claw.
“Kill it! Can all of us working together not kill some ignorant beast?!” the Black Yin Ancestor furiously bellowed.
“Everyone, together!”
Invigorated by the calls of Wang Chong, Song Yuanyi, and the Black Yin Ancestor, the other martial artists jumped down from the rock walls and rained down attacks on various parts of the Earth Devil’s body.
With so many martial artists attacking, even the unkillable body of the Earth Devil was dealt a heavy blow. Countless stone fragments were being shaved off, causing its massive body to shrink.
“Watch out for its petrifying Stellar Energy!”
“Stand aside!”
The organization and leadership of the martial arts titans soon had the martial artists organized into teams that were able to avoid the Earth Devil’s attacks while making attacks of their own.
But a moment later, the rocks walls shuddered, and everyone heard a massive boom coming from down below.
Everyone looked down and then instantly paled.
“How could this be?!”
The sight down below left each of them stunned.
While all of them had been focusing their attacks on the Earth Devil’s arm, the Earth Devil had managed to move the rest of its body. Two thick legs had managed to land on the rock wall, where its Earth Element abilities began the process of fusing the legs together with the stone.
Even if they cut off the Earth Devil’s other arm, it would be meaningless.
“Ignore it and keep attacking!”
Just when everyone was about to panic, Wang Chong’s eyes flashed. He flew down from the Earth Devil’s shoulder and made his way toward the legs.
A dazzling explosion of Sword Qi illuminated the darkness as Wang Chong’s attack cut at the Earth Devil’s ankle and left a deep wound.
The panicking crowd rallied upon seeing Wang Chong’s reaction. Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting shared a glance of surprise with each other before quickly lunging back into the fray.
Whoosh!
Under the endless salvo of attacks, countless pieces of stone began to shower down from the Earth Devil’s ankle, which further invigorated the martial artists.
“Everyone, attack faster! This monster’s legs aren’t completely fused with the wall yet!”
This was definitely a pleasant surprise. Although the Earth Devil was powerful, its fusion with the rock wall was still extremely unstable, and their attacks were still effective.
Boomboomboom!
A few moments later, under a crazed barrage of attacks, crack! The Earth Devil’s ankles were finally broken, and it slid off the wall.
Awooooo!
Finally, with a heaven-shaking howl, the Earth Devil’s body toppled from the wall. Everyone watched as its crimson eyes, brimming with fear and panic, gradually vanished into the seemingly endless abyss.
Bang!
Once the monster was gone, everyone exploded in thunderous cheers.
“Success!”
A martial artist on the wall clenched his fists in happiness. This monster had killed so many people, but despite their extremely disadvantageous situation, they had managed to win.
Whew!
Meanwhile, Wang Chong landed on a bronze slab some three meters long and breathed a sigh of relief. It had taken almost all their strength to kill that monster, but they had managed to pull it off.
Rumble!
At this moment, another collision could be heard coming from several thousand meters above the group. Another rain of stones came whistling down, and the martial artists once more became nervous.
“Retreat! We’ll talk once we get out of here!”
The martial artists focused and began to climb down the abyss using the slabs protruding from the walls.
Some several thousand meters later, the group finally reached the bottom. There were piles of bones, sharp rocks, and fallen swords at the bottom, and also ghostly green flames illuminating the darkness.
Once they were at the bottom, the group began to look for a way out.
“How could this be? This is a dead end! There’s no exit!”
A martial artist dropped to his knees in despair. All their hopes had been placed on a hidden exit at the bottom of the abyss, but reality had given them a heavy blow.
“Impossible! This can’t be! I don’t believe it! Stand aside! I’ll look!”
An unaffiliated martial artist clenched his teeth, widened his eyes, and began to fly around the place, using the weak light of the green flames to aid his search.
“There’s no exit! We’re trapped here!”
Song Yuanyi stood amidst the panicked crowd like a hammered-in nail, but this leader of the righteous path also had deeply furrowed brows. He didn’t need to go on a frenzied search. Merely by spreading out his Psychic Energy, he could see that there was no way out!
“Chief, this place is the home of your Origin Immortal lineage. Is there any exit here?”
Song Yuanyi turned to the Origin Immortal Chief standing behind Wang Chong. If they wanted to get out of this place alive, they needed someone who knew this place like the back of their hand, the Origin Immortal Chief.
Bzzz! The crowd fell silent, and the hundreds of martial artists, whether righteous or evil, turned to the Origin Immortal Chief.
“You’re asking the wrong person.”
The Origin Immortal Chief bitterly smiled.
“Although we Origin Immortal Villagers guard this place, we’ve only been active on the perimeter. The central region is the Immortal Lord’s residence, and no one dared to ever disturb him!”
The Origin Immortal Chief paused, looking up at the dazzling golden light in the air with deep reverence.
