Chapter 1763: No Way to Heaven! No Door to Hell!
Tongues of flame spewed, cannons roared, and shell casings fell like rain, clattering to the ground!
The wolf pack, transformed into collective werewolves of the Howling Moon, was exceptionally agile, deftly dodging the Spirit-Binding Bullets!
They charged hard toward the breach in the defense line!
Moonlight gathered in their mouths, and waves of terrifying Moonlight Howls crashed over like a tidal wave!
Hua Ling shouted in panic, her eyes full of urgency, "Defend! Defend now!"
Faced with a Moonlight Howl barrage of such scale, their meager defenses simply couldn't hold out!
Li Kai's expression twisted with ferocity!
I may not be some Dao Heaven, but I'll never stand by and watch student warriors die in beast jaws, and the entire Jingdu be submerged under this beast tide!
"Eight Gates of Divination • Eighth Gate of Death! Open!"
"Boom!"
With a single blast, Li Kai's entire body flushed crimson. Surging spiritual pressure surged higher and higher, as if his whole being were ablaze, with flickering lights and shadows on his body!
Yu Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears, "Grandpa Li!"
She naturally knew what opening the Death Gate meant!
Li Kai's face was full of madness. He'd learned this trick from Jiangnan. He had a whole bag of tricks; what was a beast tide to him?
"I lost everything in the war! My wife! My son! My battle comrades, my brothers…"
"I should have gone down to find them long ago! But I've lived twenty extra years! Enough! Truly enough!"
"Let me bloom one last time! Little ones! Watch closely! This is my final battle as the Canglong Beast!"
With that, Li Kai slammed his hands together!
"Boom!"
The spike in spiritual pressure was so intense it even shaved off a layer of the ground!
Then his hands struck the earth heavily!
"Eighteen Layers of Hell!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ground trembled as thick rock walls erupted from the earth!
Towering up to a thousand meters high, one wall after another!
The reliefs on the rock walls depicted scenes of the eighteen layers of hell!
Li Kai stood atop the wall, lifted to a height of a thousand meters!
In an instant, the endless Moonlight Howls fired by the wolf pack slammed heavily into the Eighteen Layers of Hell Wall!
They were forcibly stopped, perhaps breaking through seven or eight layers!
But they couldn't break through all of them!
Li Kai's eyes were bloodshot as he roared!
"Quicksand Burial!"
With a surge of spiritual power from within, vast stretches of the battlefield turned to sand. The wolf packs charging forward were immediately trapped, their footing unstable!
Beneath the quicksand, invisible hands seemed to drag their bodies downward!
Giant waves rolled across the sand sea, engulfing countless spirit beasts!
"Bury!"
With Li Kai's command, his hand clenched tightly!
"Puff puff puff…"
From the sand sea came the sound of something being crushed. The yellow sand was stained crimson with blood, blooming like fields of roses, jarring to the eye!
"Canglong Breaks the Sea!"
Giant sand dragons nearly a hundred meters long took shape, roaring as they burst from the sand sea!
Their dragon heads plunged fiercely into the beast tide surging forward, the entire sand sea now seeming like a nest of Canglongs!
"Falling Stars!"
Huge boulders formed in the high sky and crashed toward the sea of beasts at astonishing speed, their surfaces even coated with flames!
Truly like meteors!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The thunderous roars were unending, the earth quaking, Canglongs soaring through the sky!
At this moment, Li Kai ignored his own consumption completely, unleashing powerful techniques frantically—all large-scale lethal spiritual arts!
He managed to block the breach, hold back the wolf pack's charge, and prevent them from advancing even half a step!
But Li Kai's aura gradually weakened, like a candle about to burn out, the flame of his life seeming ready to extinguish at any moment!
Yu Qingqing kept wiping her tears, but they never dried!
(#ᵒ̴̶̷̥́口ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "Grandpa Li! That's enough! You can stop! Stop! Don't die!"
"You haven't lost everything! You still have us! You still have the uncles and aunties from the nursing home!"
"As long as someone still remembers you, thinks of you, you're not alone!"
Li Kai knelt weakly, looking up at the sky, savoring a moment of peace!
Liu Cuicui's eyes were red: "Old Li! Who the hell said you could die? Live! Come back to life!"
Streams of healing techniques rained down on Li Kai, but they had no effect. Opening the Death Gate had drained everything; there was no turning back!
Li Kai's face held helplessness. Though he was reluctant, it was too late!
He could no longer hear any sound, only his weak heartbeat, which eventually stopped completely!
His aura faded. In a daze, he thought he saw a golden angel coming to take him!
Someone like him—could he even go to heaven?
A golden beam of light fell upon him, warm as sunlight!
Gradually, his heartbeat began again, and the sounds around him became clear!
Who was that in the sky? No angel at all!
It was clearly Xiao Mila, with a dirty face like a little cat!
꒰ঌ(#･᷅～･᷄)໒꒱ "I won't let Grandpa Li die! Or else Jiangnan Gege will be sad!"
Time reversed wildly, and his exhausted power returned to his body!
Mila had cast single-target time reversal on him. Even if he'd opened the Death Gate or truly died, she could pull him back!
Li Kai laughed bitterly. Even dying wasn't allowed, huh?
Oh well! Consider it a death—a farewell to the past, a welcome to new life!
Yu Qingqing and the others were red-faced with excitement! Xiao Mila?
Mila was back? Nan Shen! Nan Shen had rushed back from the Rainforest Maze to save the day?
Even Yang Jian slapped his thigh in excitement!
Not too late! They'd finally made it in time; this wasn't over yet!
The next moment, Hua Ling's face turned pale with fear. She pointed south, terrified!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)☛ "Wh-What the hell is that thing?"
Everyone followed her finger and looked, their scalps going numb, jaws dropping to the ground, eyes nearly popping out!
∑(❍ฺ口❍ฺlll) "Star-Devouring Giant Worm?"
There was Xing Cheng, her bloody maw wide open, performing Devouring—all the spirit beasts along the way were sucked into her mouth without exception!
That rotating, terrifying maw was like a bottomless pit!
A colossal creature over a hundred kilometers long, with a body diameter exceeding fifteen kilometers—it was utterly shocking to the eye!
Above the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, a white nine-headed Phoenix Bird flapped its wings and soared across the sky!
"Xing Cheng! Over here! There are plenty over here!"
Zhong Yingxue was clearly directing Xing Cheng's path!
On top of Xing Cheng's head were Liu Ming, Black Crow, Mo Tian, Fa Kaiji—they'd all come back too!
Of course, Qin Shou and his two brothers were there as well. Ye Xinghe saw that his grandfather was still alive and hadn't died, so he breathed a sigh of relief!
Xia Yao was so excited her fur stood on end!
(งὅ⥎ὅ)ง "I heard there's a Dao Heaven Ten Stars Peak werewolf spirit beast? Where? Where?"
Clearly, Yang Jian had already communicated with Zhong Yingxue through the Eye of the Heavens!
If Yang Jian couldn't see a giant like Xing Cheng, he'd be truly blind!
Zhong Yingxue and the others had traveled from Yu Country all the way back on Xing Cheng, eating their way home, even spending some time at sea!
Xing Cheng had actually enjoyed it quite a bit. When she got thirsty, she even drank the sea!
She'd gained quite a bit of weight along the way!
The moment Xing Cheng charged into the battlefield, those spirit beasts nearly shat themselves in terror!
Even spirit beasts knew to distinguish good from bad. In the spirit beast world, generally, bigger meant more awesome!
For example, that thousand-meter Howling Moon Wolf King was pretty awesome!
But this giant bug in front of them? A hundred Howling Moon Wolf Kings wouldn't match its size!
It had to be supremely awesome, right?
Their combat will evaporated instantly. Some even wanted to retreat back into Ling Xu to hide and avoid the trouble!
But how could Xing Cheng let go of those delicious cookie crumbs?
Her massive insect body charged into the battlefield, and countless spirit beasts were sliced apart by the rotating scales, flesh flying everywhere!
Techniques that hit Xing Cheng barely tickled!
She opened her mouth wide and swallowed entire groups of spirit beasts in one gulp, bulldozing through everything!
At that moment, Zhao Dezhu and Wang Zong, who had been blocking the Ling Xu entrance, also wore shocked expressions!
(⚆口⚆#) Holy crap!
Was this Xing Cheng's true form? It was this huge?
This was ridiculously massive!
They hadn't wasted their time dismantling the academy to feed her back then. She actually knew to come and help her grandpa!
Zhao Dezhu coughed up a mouthful of blood:
٩(◞･᷄ཀ･᷅◟) "Over here! That little pup is still trapped inside!"
"But can Xing Cheng really handle that little pup? That thing is Dao Heaven Ten Stars Peak—not just any weakling!"
Xia Yao: ٩(#✧⥎✧#)۶!!!
Oh my god?
There really was one? That wasn't a question of whether she could handle it—she had to handle it!
She'd just reached Star Glory and didn't have any techniques to steal yet!
(#◔◡◔ิ) "Lan, you know what I mean?"
Lan: (͡°～͡°)✧
Lan gave Xia Yao a reassuring look, teleported directly to the Ling Xu entrance, and wrapped Zhao Dezhu and Wang Zong in a spatial cube!
A glazed light shone from her little head as she charged straight at the Howling Moon Wolf King!
The wolf king had just completed a burst of stabbing attacks and had no idea what was happening. Spatial Ejection was triggered!
With a "Boom," the Howling Moon Wolf King was sent flying deep into Ling Xu!
After all, Spatial Ejection was compressed space released—it didn't care about rank; even a Dao Heaven could be shoved!
After sending the wolf king flying, Lan teleported away with her group and gave Xia Yao an OK sign!
Xia Yao grinned mischievously!
☚(˵ಡ.̫ಡ) "Cheng bao'er! That Ling Xu is really tasty—way better than cookie crumbs! Go eat that!"
Every eye on Xing Cheng's body sparkled. Better than cookie crumbs?
So she pressed her bloody maw directly against the Ling Xu spatial gate!
The Howling Moon Wolf King, having been sent flying, was furious. What the hell just sent me flying that far?
I'll tear it apart!
It activated Flash Shadow Stab and charged straight for the Ling Xu spatial gate!
Hmph! The old bastard blocking the door was finally gone, huh?
Now no one could stop this werewolf!
Hmm? Why was it so dark at the entrance? Wasn't it just daytime outside?
Not bothering to think further, the Howling Moon Wolf King charged headlong!
Because Xing Cheng was so huge, her head couldn't fit inside Ling Xu. She could only press her mouth against the spatial gate and activate Devouring!
Infinite suction erupted. Space collapsed, mountains and rivers shattered, and the entire Ling Xu began to disintegrate under Xing Cheng's Devouring!
The wolf king's face was full of terror!
What the hell is this thing?!
Panicked, it slammed on the brakes, turned around, and stabbed wildly, but couldn't resist the suction of Devouring!
Its tail bristled. It even reverted to its original form, clawing at the ground to escape!
But even the ground was being sucked away!
It had a feeling that if it fell into that black hole, it would definitely be finished!
Now it had no way to reach heaven, no door to the earth. The entire Ling Xu had only one exit—the spatial gate!
And Xing Cheng had sealed the gate with her mouth. To get out, it would have to go into Xing Cheng's mouth…
This was absolutely certain death!
