182: Wensheng takes action!

A tremendous pressure permeated the Heaven and Earth.

The attention of countless Shan Hai Army soldiers within the Shan Hai Great Wall was completely drawn to the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor in the black ocean.

Only a thin figure, carrying a corpse, struggled to reach the gate of the Shan Hai Great Wall.

Lu Sheng stumbled to the gate of the Shan Hai Great Wall, and it was only after he had completely carried old Wang's corpse through the gate that the taut string in his heart finally relaxed.

"Old Wang... I, I've brought you home!"

Lu Sheng's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, extremely subtle.

After uttering this sentence, Lu Sheng finally succumbed to the terrifying weakness, his vision gradually blurred, and eventually... he collapsed onto the ground.

But in the instant Lu Sheng fell, he seemed to hear a soft sigh.

"Alas!"

For some reason, upon hearing this voice, Lu Sheng felt an immense sense of security.

It was as if he had returned to a safe harbor.

Immediately after... his world was filled with endless darkness, and he could no longer perceive anything... Above the black ocean, the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor stood silently. Although he did nothing, merely standing on this ocean exuded an incredibly terrifying oppressive feeling that permeated the entire battlefield.

He quietly gazed at the Shan Hai Great Wall before him, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"To be threatened by this fellow!"

A ruthless glint flashed through the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's eyes.

Immediately, he looked towards the location of the Shan Hai Great Wall.

"Since I've come out... I'm already exposed, so it would be a bit of a loss if I don't do something!"

A faint blue glow flickered in the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's eyes.

"In that case, let's give the Great Xia Human Clan a little hardship!"

A curve appeared at the corner of the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's mouth. In his hand, a blue scepter slowly materialized.

An dazzling light instantly flashed from the scepter.

In an instant, an extremely evil aura instantly permeated from the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's body.

"Myriad Gu Domain!"

The Ocean Gu Demon Emperor chanted, and the scepter in his hand instantly tapped on the Void Realm.

Immediately after, ripples of blue light appeared in the Void Realm.

Within these blue ripples, countless dense blue insects seemed to instantly rush towards the location of the Shan Hai Great Wall.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

The ripples formed by the blue insects were like ocean waves, instantly crashing towards the Shan Hai Great Wall. In just an instant, they enveloped the entire battlefield.

On the battlefield, the Ocean Otherworldly Demons, upon being covered by the blue insects, seemed to fall into a state of frenzy. Each of them became even more violent, and their combat power surged significantly.

And the Human Race Martial Artists on the battlefield, the moment they were enveloped by these small blue insects, were instantly devoured by them.

Their flesh and blood immediately became indistinct.

Martial Artists below the Body Storage Realm were instantly devoured by these blue insects, leaving only stark white bones!

"Ah!!!"

Screams constantly echoed across the battlefield. The Great Xia Martial Artists covered by the blue insects had distorted faces, frantically circulating the Qi and blood within their bodies, trying to break free from the blue insects on them.

However, the more they circulated the Qi and blood in their bodies, the more agitated these blue insects became. They even devoured the Qi and blood within their bodies clean under the insects' gnawing.

"Heaven and Earth possess righteousness, infused into various forms!"

Chants echoed from the Shan Hai Great Wall.

Faint golden light instantly appeared on the Shan Hai Great Wall, but these golden lights, the moment they came into contact with the blue light.

Were immediately devoured by the blue light.

Furthermore, the blue light that had devoured the golden light instantly surged, as if it had been amplified.

These golden lights directly became nourishment for the blue light.

In an instant, the blue light enveloped the Shan Hai Great Wall in an extremely rapid manner!

Ultimately, these were the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's methods. Even if Confucian Dao powerhouses were inherently counters to the Gu Demon Clan's methods, under the suppression of absolute power, even counteracting these methods still couldn't salvage the current situation!

For a time, countless insects within the blue light instantly targeted the Martial Artists of the Shan Hai Great Wall, frantically devouring them.

Not to mention ordinary Martial Artists, even Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, who had activated their Golden Body, had their Golden Body devoured by the blue insects when facing them!

This was the method of a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse!

Just a casual strike was enough to cause such terrifying damage to a frontline city!

For a time, the entire Shan Hai Great Wall was filled with incessant, tragic screams. Countless Martial Artists lost their lives under the gnawing of the blue insects.

"Presumptuous!!"

A furious roar suddenly erupted, and surging energy instantly howled forth from the Shan Hai Great Wall. A figure clad in armor suddenly stood between Heaven and Earth.

Terrifying energy surged wildly from his body.

With the appearance of this person, the yellow bells at various points on the Shan Hai Great Wall also instantly burst forth with brilliant light.

The Formation of the Shan Hai Great Wall activated!!!

In an instant, grand sounds, like the murmurs of a Buddha, resonated throughout the Shan Hai Great Wall.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

Buddhist chants exploded, carrying a holy energy that forcibly covered the entire Shan Hai Great Wall with a faint golden glow.

Under this faint golden glow, the insects within the blue aura, as if stimulated, let out screams and were finally extinguished under the illumination of the golden glow.

And the armored figure, holding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, suddenly swung it.

An extreme killing power instantly erupted on the battlefield, forcibly tearing open a gap in the battlefield enveloped by the blue light.

Within that gap, the blue light could not spread.

It became the only safe zone on the battlefield for Martial Artists.

However, after unleashing this strike, the armored figure's aura also weakened somewhat.

Clearly, breaking through the methods of a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse was a tremendous drain, even for this powerhouse of the Shan Hai Army.

But it was precisely because of this that the Martial Artists on the battlefield were given a safe zone, allowing them to retreat orderly to the Shan Hai Great Wall.

"Oh!"

Above the black ocean, the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor looked at the figure standing on the city wall, his brow slightly raised.

"A Venerable-level powerhouse? To be able to break through my Myriad Gu Domain, that's quite interesting!"

The Ocean Gu Demon Emperor forced a smile, but the smile beneath his blue skin looked somewhat sinister no matter how one viewed it.

"Since I'm already out, the essence blood of this Venerable-level powerhouse should be enough to solidify my cultivation for several decades!"

The Ocean Gu Demon Emperor smiled indifferently.

He took a step forward, and the blue crystal scepter in his hand gently rippled, and in an instant, from the black ocean beneath his feet.

A massive creature instantly surged out.

Rumble!!!

Endless rumbling accompanied a terrifying force that surged forth.

Only at this moment could one clearly see what this creature that burst forth from the ocean truly was!

It was a giant insect!

Its entire body was covered in blue armor like crystal, appearing incredibly hard, like a suit of blue crystal armor.

A terrifying aura permeated from this insect, even surpassing that of a Dao Entry Realm powerhouse!

Hiss hiss hiss!!!

The insect opened its hideous maw, rows of sharp teeth seemingly capable of utterly annihilating everything, so much so that the space around the teeth in the insect's mouth slightly distorted, as if about to be torn apart.

The next moment, that Gu Demon instantly charged towards the Shan Hai Great Wall.

Its massive body was like a giant cannonball.

Its target was the armored figure on the Shan Hai Great Wall.

Seeing this, the man's expression changed slightly; he could clearly feel that the Qi emanating from this Gu Demon even surpassed his own.

Even if it hadn't reached the Demon Emperor level, it was still not something he could stop.

Moreover... after he had just used all his strength to break through the Myriad Gu Domain, his own Qi was already somewhat depleted, and under such circumstances... he appeared even more vulnerable!

For a moment, a hint of despair appeared in his eyes.

A Demon Emperor-level Otherworldly Demon making a move, and under such sudden circumstances, even though Shanhai City was one of the Great Xia's nine major front-line cities with a rich foundation, it would be difficult to resist.

"Heaven wants to destroy my Shanhai City!"

The man was filled with grief and indignation, but his arm, holding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, instantly swung.

As a Great Xia soldier, even if the defense line was forced, he had to bite hard into the Otherworldly Demon.

However, just as he was about to make his move, a venerable voice suddenly boomed out from the Shan Hai Great Wall.

"This place... is impregnable!"

The venerable voice seemed to contain a profound fluctuation.

As these words were uttered, the Heaven and Earth Power seemed to be mobilized by this voice.

Infinite power instantly transformed into a barrier, appearing hundreds of meters in front of the Shan Hai Great Wall.

With the appearance of this protective shield, the enormous Gu Demon crashed violently into the barrier.

Thud!

With a muffled sound.

The energy shield only rippled.

In contrast, the Gu Demon's body, which was like a blue crystal armor, instantly developed hideous cracks from this impact, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Screech!"

The intense pain caused the blue Gu Demon to let out mournful cries.

"This is..."

The armored middle-aged man's pupils constricted slightly as he watched the scene before him.

Immediately, the grief and indignation in his heart instantly vanished.

He broke into an excited smile and shouted loudly.

"Zhao Ge, Legion Commander of the Shan Hai Army's First Legion, respectfully welcomes Great Xia Sage of Culture!"

Zhao Ge's voice echoed through the Shan Hai Great Wall, resounding even across the battlefield.

For a moment, the immense fear that had arisen due to the Demon Emperor's arrival, at this instant, accompanied by Zhao Ge's voice, caused the hearts of countless Shan Hai Army powerhouses to tremble slightly.

Immediately after, smiles appeared on their faces.

They all looked up at the sky.

Great Xia Sage of Culture!

These four words alone gave the entire Shan Hai Great Wall, countless Great Xia Martial Artists, and even the Shan Hai Army an endless sense of security!

The Ten Saints of Great Xia were the stabilizing force of Great Xia!

Their appearance meant that their location was undoubtedly safe and sound.

This was a consensus in the hearts of every Great Xia Martial Artist and soldier.

In fact, in certain situations, the morale boost brought by the reputation of the Ten Saints of Great Xia was even more inspiring than the Confucian Qi of those Confucian Dao powerhouses!

This was the unique resolve of Great Xia Martial Artists!

"What!"

Above the black ocean, the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor looked at the energy barrier that had appeared on the Shan Hai Great Wall with a grim expression, his entire face extremely unpleasant.

He truly hadn't expected that Shanhai City would actually have one of the Ten Saints of Great Xia stationed there!

And it was Great Xia Sage of Culture, who was his greatest nemesis!

If it were any other of the Ten Saints of Great Xia, as long as it wasn't the Wen Sheng, Wu Sheng, or Jian Sheng, he could entangle them for a bit; even if he wasn't their opponent, he could still escape safely.

But now... listening to Zhao Ge's words, it was actually Great Xia Sage of Culture.

For a moment, the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's heart was completely filled with rage.

"Damn Wang Mu! Why didn't he say that Shanhai City had Great Xia Sage of Culture stationed here!"

The Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's expression instantly became ferocious.

From this, one could see the deterrent power of the Ten Saints of Great Xia.

And the deterrence they brought after concealing their whereabouts!

The Otherworldly Demons didn't know the whereabouts of the Ten Saints of Great Xia, so they didn't dare to act rashly, fearing precisely this kind of situation.

They clearly wanted to destroy the Great Xia's front-line cities, but if one of the Ten Saints of Great Xia was stationed there, their plan would fall through, and even Demon Emperor powerhouses would face a life-threatening crisis.

What the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor was encountering now was precisely the situation most feared by the Otherworldly Demons.

"Damn it, escape!"

Only this thought remained in the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's mind.

Although he was a Demon Emperor-level existence, and of the same Realm as the Wen Sheng, there were still divisions of combat power within the same Realm!

As one of the top three among the Ten Saints of Great Xia, the Great Xia Sage of Culture's combat power was self-evident, and moreover, the Wen Sheng's methods were his greatest weakness.

He himself was not considered a top-tier Demon Emperor among the Demon Emperors of the Otherworldly Demon World; now that he had encountered Great Xia Sage of Culture, if he didn't escape, there was only death!

At this moment, the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's heart was completely filled with anger and fear.

The source of the fear was precisely Great Xia Sage of Culture.

As for the source of the anger... it was Wang Mu!

If Wang Mu hadn't threatened him with the token, he would never have made a move.

As long as he didn't make a move, he wouldn't encounter the current situation!

At this moment, the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor was constantly cursing in his heart, but his escape speed did not decrease.

However, just as this thought arose, another venerable voice slowly sounded.

"This place... evil cannot invade!"

The ancient voice stirred the Heaven and Earth Power.

It seemed to contain a Law.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

A surge of righteous Qi suddenly permeated the battlefield, and the Myriad Gu Domain that had originally enveloped the entire battlefield instantly dissolved with the appearance of this righteous Qi.

It was like ice and snow meeting a spring breeze.

In a breath's time, it vanished completely.

The blue Gu Demons covering the Great Xia Martial Artists and Shan Hai Army soldiers instantly turned into dust and dissipated between heaven and earth upon contact with the righteous Qi.

Moreover... when this righteous Qi fell upon the Great Xia Martial Artists, those Great Xia Martial Artists who had been scarred and wounded by the Gu Demons were now as if reborn.

Their injuries healed at an extremely rapid pace, ultimately recovering perfectly!

"Wen Sheng!"

"Wen Sheng! Wen Sheng!!!"

For a moment, cheers erupted on the battlefield and on the Shan Hai Great Wall.

Immediately after, the Wen Sheng's figure slowly appeared in the Void Realm.

As the Wen Sheng's figure emerged, the cheers between heaven and earth grew even louder at this moment.

Their gazes intensely gazed at the venerable figure standing between heaven and earth.

Though his body was stooped, his presence before all Great Xia Martial Artists gave them an endless sense of security.

"When... did you invade my Great Xia's Domain and still expect to retreat safely?"

"There is no such good thing... in this world!"

The Wen Sheng looked at the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor, who was constantly fleeing in the distance, and spoke indifferently.

His voice contained an unparalleled majesty.

It was like a thunderclap, echoing with endless terrifying power, instantly falling upon the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor.

Confucian Dao method... Tongue-Blossoming Thunder!

Boom boom boom!!!

Invisibly, thunder emerged from the Void Realm and directly descended upon the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor.

In an instant, an extremely domineering force, carrying the power to destroy everything, instantly enveloped the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor's entire body.

The energy completely erupted!
