Four General level Celestial Demons!
This was the force Seven Desires had brought to Nanjiang to help him break the Seal.
Ordinarily, a common General level Celestial Demon, despite possessing Saint Awakening Level strength, would still be slightly outmatched when confronting a true Saint Awakening Martial Artist. However, there is strength in numbers. The gap was not insurmountable, and with enough General level Celestial Demons, they could even pose a threat to a Celestial Master.
The combined might of four General level Celestial Demons was a terrifying force.
BOOM!
Multiple magnetic fields converged, causing the celestial phenonon in the sky to shift. An imnse pressure instantly began to compress Liehong Mountain's magnetic field. Powerful as he was, Liehong Mountain was inevitably forced onto the defensive under the combined weight of so many forces.
One complete and powerful First Generation, one incomplete but still capable First Generation, plus four General level demons—to keep Liehong Mountain here, Seven Desires had risked everything and deployed all the forces he could muster.
It had taken a great deal of effort and cost for him and the other four General level demons to remain hidden within Donghua for so long. They had even partially fused with their physical bodies and could not change them at will, lest their very spiritual essence suffer imnse damage.
This ant that, under such intense scrutiny, every one of them who made a move risked exposure. Once their identities were revealed within Donghua's borders, even a First Generation Level entity would struggle to hide again. Their only option would be to flee, and all their prior efforts would be for naught.
But if, by taking such a risk, they could eliminate a Guardian who stood at the apex of Donghua's power, then no risk was too great.
"Liehong Mountain, you are far too arrogant. To think you'd co here all by yourself. Did you truly believe no one in the Southern region could harm you?"
"Today, you will pay the price for that arrogance."
Seven Desires said with a smile.
HUMMM!
Just then, the expressions on the heads sprouting from the faceless black shadow behind Seven Desires began to change dramatically.
Joy, shock, panic, anger, sorrow, worry, contemplation—in an instant, the once-expressionless heads twisted into masks of extre emotion.
Furthermore, the positions of these heads vaguely corresponded to the locations of the five viscera in the human body.
A unique magnetic field spread out. It was so penetrating that it could not be completely isolated or resisted.
In an instant, Liehong Mountain was affected by this magnetic field. Ripples began to form in his mind, which was usually as still as an old well.
His will broke free from the control, but his body's instincts were still affected. His internal organs began to exhibit an uncontrollable "emotional" tendency.
The seven human emotions are intimately linked with the internal organs. As the saying goes, excessive joy harms the heart, great anger harms the liver, and shock and fear harm the kidneys. Every drastic emotional fluctuation causes the functions of the internal organs to ebb and flow. If the emotions beco too extre, the organs will go into Overload.
This "emotionalization" of his organs ant that under the influence of Seven Desires' magnetic field, Liehong Mountain's body had entered a state of maximum emotional fluctuation and Overload. His bodily functions would decline, and over ti, he would suffer imnse damage.
This was the powerful ability of Seven Desires' true form: Emotion Manipulation.
The magnetic field of this ability was extrely pervasive, like drops of water, imperceptibly triggering changes in the human body. It was impossible to guard against.
In an instant, Liehong Mountain's already dire situation beca even worse.
Black flas reignited on Wei He, who stood to the side. Seeing Liehong Mountain suppressed by the magnetic fields and forced to defend a small corner, a wild smile spread across his lips.
The group took a step forward, preparing to attack Liehong Mountain.
BANG!
Just then, an unusual sound echoed from the sky. The clouds, which had gathered due to the overlapping powerful magnetic fields, were suddenly punched through, and a black shadow plumted toward the ground at extre speed.
Looking closely, it was yet another human figure falling from the sky.
Dozens of ters from the ground, the figure used a parachute to montarily break their fall, then tore it away and slamd into the ground in a manner similar to Liehong Mountain's own arrival.
BOOM!
The earth shook violently. From the crater ford by the impact, a tall figure slowly erged.
He was a burly old man with a very sturdy build, dressed in a white Martial Arts Uniform. He had a buzz cut and a full, thick beard.
From the Southern Eight Sects, the Gang Qi Sect—Zhao Beidou!
"Airdropping in is pretty exciting. Looks like I didn't miss the landing zone. Not bad, not bad..."
A peculiar, translucent barrier of air enveloped Zhao Beidou, apparently a product of so kind of magnetic field. He spoke with a slight smile on his face.
Then the smoke cleared, and he got a clear view of the situation. The smile vanished from his face.
Two First Generation Level entities, four General level ones... And on his side, there was only him and Liehong Mountain. 'Looks like I've stumbled into a place I really shouldn't have...'
"Old Lie, you really dug a deep pit for this ti..."
Zhao Beidou sighed. Under the predatory gazes of the others, he slowly walked to Liehong Mountain's side and stood back-to-back with him.
"You got here fast."
Liehong Mountain was also a little surprised.
"I heard you jumped out of a plane, so I thought I'd give it a try. But it looks like I got here just in ti. Any later, and even if you didn't die here, you'd have lost more than a few layers of skin."
Zhao Beidou shook his head, a hint of resignation on his face. Feeling the terrifying heat radiating from behind him, he glanced at Liehong Mountain and asked, "How much longer?"
He was asking how long Liehong Mountain could maintain the fully released state of his Heart Core. He knew that while this state was exceptionally powerful, the physical toll it took was equally terrifying. It was the price one paid for taking an unorthodox path, sacrificing balance in the pursuit of absolute power in a single area.
"Long enough. We just have to hold on for a while. There's a chance for a turnaround. You'll have to pull more of your weight this ti."
Liehong Mountain replied flatly.
"Nothing involving you is ever easy. I expected as much. A pity about my hair and this dashing beard of mine..."
Zhao Beidou lanted.
The next mont, every pore on his body suddenly began to open and close violently, like countless tiny mouths greedily breathing in the surrounding air.
This made his entire body appear to be covered in tiny black dots, a sight that would surely make anyone with trypophobia collapse on the spot.
The pores on his head and face were also opening and closing violently, causing the thick follicles on his scalp and face to detach. His hair and beard fell out, strand by strand.
In that mont, his head looked like a braised egg covered in dense black dots.
HISS!
The surrounding air was drawn toward the opening and closing pores all over Zhao Beidou's body, as if so kind of gas exchange were taking place.
Ordinary people can only breathe through their mouths and noses.
But the secret arts of the Gang Qi Sect enabled one to breathe through the pores of their skin. What Zhao Beidou was now demonstrating was this technique pushed beyond its absolute limit.
This was Body Breathing!
