Dingmao City.
The boundary between Dingmao City in the Divine Country and the worldly Dingmao City was no longer so clear.
The Sky Do of the Divine Country had been torn apart and blown away, and it had not yet recovered.
And it seed that it wouldn't recover anyti soon.
Qingyun had completely turned gray, like endless overcast skies, with the cloud layers getting lower and more oppressive.
The seven-story tower of the City God had collapsed, though its foundation remained intact. However, its true form and consciousness had been consud by Yu Ziqing's sword.
This was a typical case of a forced execution.
In the city, a large amount of filth still lingered, sothing that the Earth Deity and the cultivators of the Incense Fire Dao could not afford to touch.
Even a slight contact could taint their path of cultivation, not fatal but worse than deadly.
To ruin one's future was more malicious than killing their parents.
And that nine-story tower, once like a heap of beautiful jade adorned with dazzling gems, was now marred with blemishes.
The beautiful jade turned into gray stone, like patches of disease marking it.
The highest layer of the nine-story tower had partially collapsed.
Evil Qi, Demonic Qi, and Ominous Aura continually leaked from the gap.
Within the nine-story tower, Emperor Dui sat cross-legged, his aura fluctuating chaotically.
He had withstood four Alien Power teors, using all his strength every ti to forcefully resist the falling teors with absolute power.
This was only because he had intercepted them in advance. Had he stood on the ground, letting those Alien Power teors condense and accelerate to their extres,
even he wouldn't have been able to stop them.
He wouldn't die, and the injury wouldn't be too serious.
But the result would inevitably be the destruction of the Divine Country, with no suspense at all.
Especially at the end, forcibly catching two Alien Power teors at once had greatly exhausted him.
Moreover, the invasion of Alien Power couldn't be completely expelled even now.
Because aside from the Alien Power, there was also the extrely repulsive filth, inherently conflicting with the Incense Fire Dao.
And what he feared even more was the Poison Incense, which could not be seen on the surface and was impossible to find.
That incense, before being absorbed into the body and digested, showed no anomalies. He used various thods but couldn't discern it.
Only after absorbing it and transforming it into his own strength would the incense fire power suddenly beco ominous.
He didn't understand why, and no one in the Dadui Divine Dynasty knew why, only that it was extraordinarily troubleso.
Now, the negative states of Alien Power, filth, and Poison Incense combined, made Emperor Dui's condition appear very poor.
His aura was much weaker than it had been when he first revived.
Moreover, the Alien Power, filth, and Poison Incense seed almost unconnected.
However, their impact on him advanced each other.
As Alien Power encroached a bit, the others would closely follow, and as the incense fire disrupted a bit, the others would imdiately advance a bit.
The filth, which seed the easiest to solve, required him to expel it with full force. He could swiftly drive it out of his body and out of the nine-story tower.
Yet, he had no way to expel it fully.
The three ford a horn, and if he dared solve one with full force, the other two would lose control.
He had only one choice, to solve the issues of all three in one go.
But for now, it seed that this would take a long ti.
The nine-story tower interconnected to Qingyun, was originally constantly absorbing power from Qingyun, accumulating continuously.
The first wave of Poison Incense had been heavily absorbed by the nine-story tower.
Then the second wave, which even transford into the Light of Incense. Though small, its toxicity was stronger, and it fused faster, almost entirely swallowed by the nine-story tower.
After two successive strikes, several layers of the nine-story tower were now faintly emitting an ominous aura.
This was because he had made a decisive decision, with the topmost layer collapsing halfway as the price, to forcibly collapse most of the Poison Incense.
Emperor Dui sat there, within the tower, beneath the floor tiles, strands of purest Demonic Qi were constantly being birthed.
Using Demonic Qi to pull and wrestle with those three, at least preventing the situation from worsening.
Strands of electricity flickered inside the tower, Divine Power, Demonic Qi, filth, fragrance of incense, Alien Power, Evil Qi, and all sorts of chaotic energies were mixed in here.
The place was no longer resplendent as it once was, bright and dazzling, but resembled a chaotic devil's den.
Amidst the confusion, cries, curses, and various chaotic wills could still be faintly heard.
Emperor Dui sat there, looking increasingly weary.
Monts later, a figure wearing a court dress, donning a black gauze cap, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, ca with a solemn expression, respectfully saluting.
"Minister Liu Changkong, pays respects to Your Majesty,
This minister is incompetent, allowing that demon to sneak into the Divine Capital and wreak havoc.
Fortunately, Your Majesty's divine might is unparalleled, holding the stars and scaring the demon off.
This minister sent people to pursue for a long ti, but still let that demon escape. Please, Your Majesty, punish ."
Emperor Dui showed a faint smile and waved his hand.
"Rise, the fault does not lie with you. That demon was ferocious indeed. You truly are not his match."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Liu Changkong rose accordingly, standing to the side, and said softly, "Your Majesty, that demon acted recklessly and kidnapped an Earth Deity. If anything occurs, that Earth Deity will send a ssage secretly."
