135: Chapter 135 Slaying Gods

In the next second, the giant immediately transformed into the likeness of Ye Qingzhu. She looked down at the people below, who were like ants, her eyes filled with coldness.

Without any hesitation or doubt, she immediately raised her hands, quickly formed a hand seal, and whispered, "Immortal King Cauldron!"

A massive Immortal Cauldron immediately appeared before her. To her, the cauldron was of normal size, but to the humans below, it was as vast as a mountain.

"Smash!"

Ye Qingzhu pointed mercilessly.

The massive Immortal Cauldron immediately smashed downward, covering everyone below.

The Head of the Lin Family and his group were the first to be affected. The immense pressure caused their expressions to change, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

Because the power Ye Qingzhu was displaying at this moment already rivaled that of a demigod.

It was too powerful; it was simply not something they, as A-Rankers, could withstand.

Therefore, their first instinct was to flee into the distance, disregarding their dignity.

However, the aura of the Immortal Cauldron was too vast, and its coverage area too wide. In an instant, it arrived above their heads, enveloped them within the cauldron, and continued to smash downward.

The human soldiers below had already taken action. Luo Feng, acting as their leader, issued the command the moment he saw the Immortal Cauldron: release the dragon slaying crossbow.

Therefore, before the Immortal Cauldron could land, three incomparably huge crossbow bolts erupted with brilliant divine patterns and shot toward the cauldron.

In an instant, the dragon slaying crossbow bolts collided with the Immortal Cauldron.

A muffled sound, like metal clashing against metal, rang out, accompanied by three flashes of fire. The dragon slaying crossbow bolts were directly knocked away by the Immortal Cauldron, flying toward the periphery and eventually crashing into the distant mountainside.

Boom~

The mountainside was pierced through by the dragon slaying crossbow bolts, causing the entire mountain to shatter into rubble, unleashing a thunderous explosion and filling the sky with dust.

But at this moment, no one had the heart to pay attention to the power of the dragon slaying crossbow, because the Immortal Cauldron, having been struck by the bolts, hadn't budged at all and was falling straight toward the military camp below.

The massive Immortal Cauldron smashed down like a mountain, covering the entire military camp beneath it.

Boom~

The moment the Immortal Cauldron landed, the earth shook, mountains collapsed, and countless insects and beasts were startled into fleeing.

Yet, Ye Qingzhu felt no joy, for she knew this was not a victory; it was merely a temporary restriction of these people's movements.

Her strength was still too weak.

Although she had invoked the Immortal King Possession and possessed power approaching that of a demigod, she only had thirty seconds.

She had to create enough conditions for her mother within these thirty seconds to allow her to break through the siege.

Therefore, she silently whispered in her heart, "Twenty seconds left!"

Then, she looked toward the demigod battle circle not far ahead.

The five demigods, led by Luo Yan, were launching a fierce assault on Tang Juan, intending to annihilate her on the spot.

This caused Ye Qingzhu's heart to burn with uncontrollable rage.

She formed hand seals again and roared, "Immortal King Spike!"

In the next second, nine Immortal bones, as thick as tree trunks, suddenly appeared within her massive body. These bones were entirely translucent white, resembling pieces of white jade.

Once the Immortal bones emerged, they instantly transformed into nine massive spears, carrying immense Immortal Spirit Power, and thrust toward the nine demigods respectively!

The spears arrived before the demigods in an instant. Just as they were about to strike, the demigods all let out a cold hum in unison.

"Such a petty trick, how dare you act so brazenly!"

Saying this, the nine demigods simultaneously used their weapons to sweep at the nine spears.

However, at this very moment, the nine spears suddenly changed, transforming directly into nine long snakes. Not only were they not struck by the demigods' weapons, but they slithered up the weapons and coiled around them.

The nine demigods were astonished to find that their weapons seemed to be under some kind of restriction, as they were no longer under their control.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhu shouted, "Mother, now!"

Hearing this, Tang Juan, who had transformed into a Fairy Dragon, suddenly let out a heaven-shaking cry. In the next second, she opened her dragon mouth and spat out a red Immortal Sword.

Once the Immortal Sword appeared, the surrounding space began to distort and collapse, emitting infinite power.

Seeing this, the nine demigods' expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with both fear and greed.

Because they all recognized that this weapon did not belong to the Dark Star; it was a true Immortal Sword, a sword of the Immortals!

Once the Immortal Sword appeared, it immediately grew in the wind, transforming in an instant into a fiery red giant sword several meters long.

Tang Juan immediately opened her mouth, bit onto the fiery red giant sword, and turned into a streak of light, slashing toward the demigods!

Fear flashed instantly in the eyes of the five demigods, and they fled in a panic, disregarding their dignity.

At this moment, they couldn't care about teamwork; they only wanted to escape with their lives.

Although they were all demigods, their combined strength was only on par with Tang Juan's. Now that Tang Juan was empowered by the Immortal Sword, they dared not clash with her head-on.

Therefore, saving their lives was their top priority.

Having cultivated to the level of demigods, they cherished their lives more than anyone and did not want to perish here.

However, Tang Juan, empowered by the Immortal Sword, moved with terrifying speed and arrived behind a demigod of the Xu Family in an instant.

Tang Juan's voice rang out like a Demon Lord from the Nine Netherworlds: "Die!"

In the next second, a red light flashed past. The Xu Family demigod's body was directly blasted apart by the Immortal Sword, turning into a rain of blood filling the sky, leaving no chance of survival.

This scene frightened the souls out of the remaining eight demigods.

They fled even faster, but Tang Juan gave them no chance at all.

The red light flashed again, catching up to another demigod.

This demigod was from the Lin Family. He let out a roar of extreme unwillingness: "No!"

But in the next second, his body, like the Xu Family demigod's, was blasted apart on the spot, turning into a rain of blood.

Slaying two demigods in an instant was an astonishing feat.

However, Tang Juan's aura faltered at this moment, and her speed plummeted.

Because using the Immortal Sword came with a price.

She had not merged with the Immortal Sword; she was merely borrowing its power, and she was suffering from the sword's backlash at every moment.

In just this short amount of time, she had already sustained severe internal injuries.

The powerful Immortal energy on the Immortal Sword was corroding her body, and the hard scales on her Surface were beginning to fall off.

But her eyes were filled with determination and resolve!

At this moment, she absolutely could not slacken. Even if it meant risking her life, she had to carve out a path of survival for her husband and child.

Therefore, she ignored the backlash of the Immortal Sword, roared, accelerated again, and launched an assault on the nearest demigod.

Pfft~

A red light flashed past, a demigod exploded and fell, splashing blood across the sky.

At this very moment, Ye Qingzhu let out a muffled groan, and then it could be seen that her Immortal King Body began to rapidly disintegrate and dissipate, starting from her legs, fading away bit by bit.

The thirty seconds were up!

As the Immortal King Body began to dissipate, the demigods' weapons were immediately unsealed, which gave the demigods a great deal of comfort.

There was a massive difference between a demigod who could use their weapon and one who could not.

Conversely, after Tang Juan had slain another demigod, her backlash became even more severe. Moreover, without Ye Qingzhu's restrictions, the strength of the few demigods returned to its peak, and it was now very difficult to easily assault them.

She immediately made a decision, retreated rapidly, gave up the assault, and arrived by Ye Qingzhu's side.

"Qingzhu, are you okay?"

Tang Juan put away the red Immortal Sword and gazed intently at Ye Qingzhu.

In just this short time, Ye Qingzhu's Immortal King Body had completely dissipated, and she had returned to her own form.

Her complexion was extremely pale, her wings flapped very slowly, and carrying Ye Songtao was a great struggle.

But she still said calmly, "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry about me and Dad."

However, just as her voice fell, a strong fluctuation of divine power suddenly came from the Surface.

It was the dragon slaying crossbow!

With the Immortal King Body dissipated, the Immortal Cauldron naturally dissipated as well.

Those who had been trapped in the Immortal Cauldron were released again.

Except for a small number of people who had been shaken to death by the power of the Immortal Cauldron, many others were unharmed.

After coming out, they immediately activated the dragon slaying crossbow, intending to shoot and kill Tang Juan in the high sky.

Even if they couldn't kill her, they could cause her great trouble.

Seeing the dragon slaying crossbow erupting with brilliant divine light, Ye Qingzhu's expression darkened even further, and even Tang Juan's eyes were filled with a great deal of gravity.

The reinforcements from the Demon-Human Clan had not yet arrived, and she had to buy more time.

But at this moment, Luo Yan suddenly spoke: "Give up the resistance. Your Demon-Human Clan reinforcements won't be able to come for now; we have sent other demigods to intercept them."

"If you give up resistance and submit to execution on the spot, perhaps fewer of them will die. If you continue to resist, I'm afraid part of the Demon-Human Clan will be exterminated."

Hearing this, Tang Juan's body trembled slightly.

The Demon-Human Clan was composed of many tribes. The number of people in some of these tribes was truly very small; once they died in battle, it was truly possible for them to be exterminated.

She did not want to see them exterminated!

As the Empress of the Demon-Human Clan, her responsibility was to protect them and allow the fire of their tribe to continue, not to be exterminated.

At this moment, her heart felt like it was being twisted by knives.

Luo Yan continued: "Are you really going to watch other people's children become orphans or... corpses for the sake of your own child?"

Tang Juan's body trembled again, but immediately, she rebuked angrily: "Despicable humans, they are not being exterminated because of me, but because of you! It is you shameless bastards who killed them!"

Saying this, a ball of black flames suddenly ignited on Tang Juan's body.

Her voice sounded extremely cold as she said: "Today, I will fight you to the death!"

In the next second, endless black flames bloomed from her body, instantly transforming into a fire dragon blazing with black flames.

The black flames fell onto the Surface, instantly igniting the surrounding grass and trees, and even the rocks began to burn.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yan's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help but shout: "Life Divine Source!"

She was truly risking her life; she was willing to ignite her divine fire with her Life Divine Source. When the Divine Source burned out, that would be the end of her life.

Unless it was a fight to the death, most people would not do this.

But in the next second, Luo Yan sighed and said: "I admire you; you are a respectable Empress. You are willing to ignite your Divine Source for your people. But likewise, I am also doing my best for my people. Even if you call me despicable or shameless, I accept it. We are all just trying to ensure the survival of our own race's fire."

As his voice fell, surging flames also suddenly ignited on Luo Yan's body.

He also ignited his own Life Divine Source.

Seeing this scene, Tang Juan was stunned for a moment.

It was not because Luo Yan had ignited his Life Divine Source, but because of Luo Yan's words.

No one wanted to see their own race exterminated. For the sake of the race's survival, she could do even the craziest things.

At this moment, her emotions were complex.

But the situation at hand did not allow her to think too much.

They were forced to stand on opposite sides; today, one of them had to fall.

Strangely, her mood suddenly calmed down.

There was no more anger, no more pain; all that remained was the determination to fight to the death.

"Come on, fight!"

She did not hesitate at all and directly lunged at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan also led the remaining six demigods and once again surrounded and attacked Tang Juan.

Seven demigods were once again locked in a fierce battle.

And this time, it was a true life-and-death struggle, a battle of annihilation.

Ye Qingzhu saw her mother being surrounded and attacked by seven demigods, and seeing the flames burning on her mother's body, she shed two lines of bloody tears in pain.

At this moment, she hated humans incomparably, and hated herself even more; she was too weak.

If she were only a little stronger, she could do more, and her mother wouldn't have to burn her Life Divine Source to save her.

Thinking this, the aura on her body began to become chaotic. Not only were bloody tears flowing from her eyes, but blood also began to flow from her nose and ears.

On her forehead, that black petal-shaped mark was slowly brightening, just like a battery that was charging. Just as it was about to reach its peak, a crisp dragon's roar sounded.

In the next second, in the distant void, a hundred-meter-long black dragon broke through the air and arrived, moving with extreme speed.

In an instant, the black dragon arrived at the battlefield, and on top of the black dragon's head sat a frail girl.

It was none other than Long Daoyi and Tian Yingying.

"Senior Sister, I'm here!"

Tian Yingying shouted loudly at Ye Qingzhu in the void!

This eased Ye Qingzhu's nearly crazed state. She looked at Tian Yingying with great effort, and when she saw Tian Yingying's appearance, she suddenly smiled.

But the smile was extremely eerie; she was smiling on her face, but the bloody tears in her eyes were gushing out even more wildly.

At this moment, she felt that she was standing on the edge of a bottomless cliff. Inside the cliff, countless pairs of blood-red eyes were staring at her, and countless hands were waving at her, enticing her to jump off the cliff.

"Yingying~"

She whispered softly.

"Yes, I'm here!"

Tian Yingying also realized that Ye Qingzhu's state was not right, so she quickly had Long Daoyi take her to Ye Qingzhu's side and brought Ye Qingzhu onto Long Daoyi's body.

Looking at Ye Qingzhu's appearance, Tian Yingying's eyes instantly turned red, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly rang out: "I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Subsequently, a streak of golden light sped over from afar and arrived in front of them in an instant.

It was none other than the fully armed W, though W's state was not good at the moment. On her pure golden armor, there were some bloodstains, not knowing if they were hers or someone else's.

W landed on Long Daoyi's body and came to Ye Qingzhu's side, and the three girls immediately embraced.

"Don't be afraid, we are always here!"
