Chapter 1500: Nothing Special
Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment. "What do you want to do?"
"The key lies with Lingbao... Among us three, only he has absorbed the source of Earth and won't be corrupted by the Black Goat. Everything depends on how his battle with Lucifer goes." Yuanshi Tianzun slightly raised his head, glancing toward where the Moon hung,
"Besides that, we'd best find another reliable ally……"
Outer space.
A black dot pierced through Venus's dense golden atmosphere and crashed onto the pale yellow landmass. A rolling blast wave shattered the earth for dozens of kilometers around. Even standing outside the atmosphere, one could see it clearly.
From the deep fissures in the surface, Lucifer's figure slowly rose. Three of his six black wings had been scorched to a charred smell, and beneath these wings, a pair of writhing flesh wings had burst through his spine, exposed to the air.
"Lingbao...!" Lucifer gritted his teeth, staring at the Daoist figure descending through the atmosphere, roaring in fury.
"First combatant of Hell? Nothing special."
Lingbao Tianzun stood atop the Primordial Infinite Void, smiling faintly.
"Show some skill, why don't you put away those two 'Supreme' divine artifacts first!" Seeing that portly Daoist's infuriating smile, Lucifer felt his lungs explode with rage.
If one compared realms alone, the two were neck and neck. Even if Lingbao Tianzun held a slight advantage, Lucifer could leverage the power of those flesh wings to dominate. But Lingbao Tianzun just had to wield the so-called "maximum area of effect killing artifact" — the Golden Scepter — in one hand, and the Jade Ruyi that controlled yin, yang, and the five elements in the other, forcibly slamming Him onto the planet for a brutal beating!
"Divine artifacts are also part of my strength. I took them by my own本事. Why should I put them away?"
Lingbao Tianzun smiled graciously.
Lucifer's chest heaved violently. Even when fighting Michael, He had never been this furious.
He let out a low roar, and a domain rapidly expanded across Venus's surface. The dim light nearly swallowed the entire sky. Viewing from space, the domain's coverage was enough to destroy two Japans.
The power of corruption invaded every inch of this domain. As Lucifer pressed his palm through the air, thousands of grotesque demon maws tore open across the rocky surface!
"【Demon Descent】."
Guttural syllables spilled from Lucifer's mouth. The next moment, the rocks near these maws shuddered violently. Cracks spread across the surface like a spiderweb. Demons made of rock burst from the earth, bearing dual wings, gripping spears, and grinning as they flew toward Lingbao Tianzun above the atmosphere.
Lingbao Tianzun raised the Golden Scepter once more. Brilliant radiance bloomed from the scepter's tip. In the vast sky above, a dozen meteor silhouettes rapidly approached!
Lucifer coldly snorted. Those flesh wings quivered, and the surface of every single meteor simultaneously split open with demon fangs. As if possessed by their own will, they猛地 swerved, slamming into Lingbao Tianzun from all directions!
Lingbao Tianzun's eyes narrowed. The Primordial Infinite Void beneath his feet rapidly expanded. Its terrifying gravity drew those demon meteors and demon rocks, orbiting around his body, shedding their kinetic energy and lethal intent in the process.
From a distance, Lingbao Tianzun stood among the demons like a sun, pulling countless planets and meteors into orbit around him, forming the雏形 of a star system.
"Shatter."
Lingbao Tianzun flicked his Daoist signs. The Primordial Infinite Void instantly reversed — gravity became repulsion, as if invisible hands tearing all the demons apart!
Lucifer's brow furrowed tightly. Just as he was about to act, a Golden Scepter whistled through the sky like a cannonball, hurtling straight for his face.
His eight wings tensed to flap, but one black and one white Primordial Infinite Void locked onto sky and earth respectively. The binding force froze his身形 for an instant. The next moment, the Golden Scepter smashed into his chest!
BOOM——!!!
A thunderous explosion erupted from Venus's surface, as if a meteor had struck the earth. Flames and heat waves扩散 silently through space. A crater of absurd proportions appeared on the pale yellow planet's surface.
From the scattered debris, a black shadow drifted狼狈ly outside the atmosphere. Lucifer's flesh wings had been torn clean through, agony flooding his mind.
His gaze fixed on that figure in the distance. A flicker of conflict crossed his eyes, as if wrestling with some decision. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and beat his wings, fleeing directly toward Earth!
"Think you can escape?" Lingbao Tianzun看到这个, immediately channeled divine power, transforming into a streak of light in hot pursuit!
A chase between Supreme Gods unfolded silently in space, like two distant meteors streaking past Earth.
Earth.
The mass of flesh and blood floating on the ocean's surface seemed to sense something. A crimson eyeball rapidly locked onto a certain point in the sky, contracting slightly. The countless extending tentacles twisted and writhed.
At the same time, the Black Goat offspring charging through the mist received some kind of signal. They no longer engaged the Gods of Great Xia, but instead retreated like a tide!
The Gods of Great Xia charging beneath Heavenly Court paused slightly, seemingly unprepared for how quickly the enemy withdrew. Just moments ago, gazing at the endless Black Goat offspring behind them, they had expected days or even weeks of grueling attrition warfare.
The result? They had been fighting for less than half an hour before the enemy retreated?
Hundreds of li away, the writhing mass of flesh and blood rose slowly. Several massive insectile eyes glanced toward the two Heavenly Lords above Heavenly Court. Countless tentacles writhed as they faded back into the mist.
"Did He sense the danger?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked, puzzled. "We only just conceived the thought... could He really perceive it?"
"Not necessarily." Yuanshi Tianzun slowly explained, "The Black Goat never expected Lingbao and the others to return so suddenly. The offspring He bred in haste were all for short-term numerical superiority, sacrificing strength for quantity — trying to breach our blockade through sheer numbers and massacre the citizens.
Creatures of that caliber, like those that attacked the Moon before, are only suitable for probing attacks. My Gods of Great Xia eliminate them without much difficulty, especially with Heavenly Court providing support. If this became a war of attrition, we could hold for days easily.
Great Xia has three Heavenly Lords present. Michael waits at the Moon for his opportunity. The longer this drags on, the worse it is for Him... rather than exhaust Himself here, it's better to retreat now and seek another chance."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly. "Then, do we pursue or not?"
Yuanshi Tianzun considered briefly, then reached into the Great Xia source and plucked out an extremely fine thread. He blew gently, and it transformed into a wisp of breeze, following the retreating Black Goat offspring into the mist.
"Though we hold the advantage now, pressing forward would be unwise... Let's wait for Lingbao to return." Yuanshi Tianzun gazed toward where the Black Goat had fled, speaking calmly.
"Return."
The Heavenly Lord's voice echoed above Heavenly Court. The Gods of Great Xia who had pursued into the mist promptly withdrew, rapidly converging back toward Heavenly Court.
When the last Great Xia deity vanished through the Southern Heaven Gate, the ethereal spiritual energy gradually dissipated. This vast celestial palace faded into the mist, departing to parts unknown.
