However, trying to heal by borrowing the projection of the Underworld River like the Underworld deities was impossible.
Forget it, I'd better withdraw. If I stay any longer, this avatar will truly be destroyed.
The destruction of an avatar wouldn't harm his true body, but it would still greatly affect his overall strength. The last ti Long Tianji destroyed one, the pain had been unbearable, and he could not allow it to happen again.
However, how could Lin Tang miss the opportunity to kick an enemy while they were down?
BAM! BAM!
While one Underworld deity was entangled by the Profound Maiden, he seized the chance to launch a sneak attack, ruthlessly blasting the opponent's back. Using the recoil, he shot backward, heading straight for the Blood Ancestor.
Just as the Blood Ancestor was about to vanish, he was struck head-on.
"Your self-destruction last ti cost my true body dearly. It still hasn't recovered. It's only right to return the favor... Now, explode!"
A brilliant light erupted from Lin Tang's body, forming seven fiery dragons that created a cage-like barrier, swallowing the Blood Ancestor like a net scooping up a fish.
"Aaaah, Long Tianji, may you die a horrible death..."
A shrill scream echoed from within the barrier. The cries grew fainter and the aura weaker, until they gradually vanished completely.
A chill ran down the spines of the other deities. Although it was only an avatar that had died, not the deity's true body, Lin Tang's ability to slaughter gods as if they were chickens was enough to make them take him seriously. The Underworld deities were secretly frustrated.
Why did such a wildcard have to appear in the mortal realm? We thought invading the mortal realm would be exceedingly simple at first. We never expected it to be so difficult, even after unleashing a major weapon like the projection of the Underworld River!
POP!
In the blink of an eye, another Underworld deity was blown to pieces. However, it managed to dive into the projection of the Underworld River and instantly restore itself. The righteous deities dared not bring their avatars close to the river's projection; they could only watch helplessly.
"We can't go on like this! Their power grows as ours wanes. Once the energy within our avatars is depleted, they'll have us at their rcy!"
"Long Tianji, go and destroy the Transmission Array! We'll hold them off here!"
"Alright!" Lin Tang readily agreed, ceasing his brutal assault on another Underworld deity. Like a falling teor, he dived and returned to the ground.
Although the Profound Maiden's avatar had rushed up to the sky, that didn't an the Mirror Flower Water Moon spell she had cast earlier had worn off. Therefore, the mont Lin Tang landed, he re-entered the range of the live broadcast. The people who had been praying for him saw this and were once again filled with excitent, breaking into cheers.
"The State Preceptor isn't dead after all!"
"This is wonderful!"
Although the Profound Maiden had already said that Lin Tang was still alive before she left, seeing him with their own eyes finally allowed Ning Yuexi to feel completely at ease.
Lin Tang could actually sense that he was being "watched" by the Mirror Flower Water Moon spell, and he could have cast his own spell to sever the connection. But he chose not to.
After all, the boost to the nation's fate from the live broadcast was ridiculously effective. If it weren't being broadcast, if the countless citizens couldn't see him fighting for all of humanity, how in the world would the nation's fate rise when the people were unaware?
Not only did he not cut off the broadcast, but he also thoughtfully allowed the "cara" to follow him all the way to the sinister cave.
Looking at the massive, pitch-black spatial channel, which resembled a bottomless abyss, made everyone's scalp tingle. This was especially true as the silhouettes of a large new batch of Underworld monsters seed to be rapidly approaching from the depths of the channel, about to swarm out. The people grew even more anxious.
"State Preceptor Long, hurry! Block that hole, don't let them co through!"
"If we completely destroy this channel, the Underworld monsters won't be able to co to the mortal realm ever again, right?"
Is the war going to end right now?
Countless eyes watched with fervent hope. Hearts seed to stop, and people forgot to breathe. They stared, transfixed, as Lin Tang stomped his foot hard on the huge Transmission Array.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The runes of the Array flashed chaotically. From its many nodes, flas erupted simultaneously, as if countless fireworks had been set off in advance. With the Transmission Array itself resembling a massive stage and Lin Tang standing upon it, it suddenly gave everyone the feeling of a grand concert.
Is his stomping a form of raving?
Just as the Transmission Array was about to shatter and the spatial channel was beginning to close like a zipper, the unexpected happened once more.
A gigantic, sky-covering hand suddenly extended from the depths of the spatial channel and lunged for Lin Tang!
Lin Tang was surprised at first, then swiftly dodged. But he was like Sun Wukong being suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain—there was no escape and no way to resist! Both his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation and the imnse power of the nation's fate seed to lose all effect in that instant.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, he was snatched by the giant hand and pulled back into the spatial channel.
State Preceptor Long... Is he finished?
「In the sky.」
The Profound Maiden and the other deities were in the heat of battle, but at this mont, they all stopped fighting by silent agreent. They abruptly looked down toward the sinister cave. Both righteous and demonic deities were utterly shocked.
How is this possible? Why does this giant hand carry the aura of an Earth Immortal's true body? At this point in ti, no Earth Immortal's true body should have fully awakened! Who on earth is it?!
