Chapter 2054: Battle of the Great Sage
Explosive booms reverberated throughout the battlefield outside Yue Tong City.
The undead beings just so happened to be where the battle was most intense, so they immediately became the front line forces for the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng United Army. They didn’t even have to run; all they had to do was attack the enemies around them.
These were extremely terrifying enemies to face for the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army. What did it entail to battle an undead army? It entailed fighting someone who was already dead by giving one’s life in the process. Essentially, they were sacrificing themselves to kill enemies who weren’t even alive.
And that wasn’t even the end. Those who fell in the process of battling the undead army would rise again, and they would join forces with those they had been slain by, thereby creating a perpetual loop.
If things continued like this, just the undead army alone would be enough to destroy the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army.
“This can’t go on any longer. We have to destroy that formation!”
“That’s right, that thing cannot be allowed to exist on this battlefield.”
“We’re only going to get ground down and destroyed like this. We have to destroy that Heaven Vanquis.h.i.+ng Formation at all costs!”
The Heavenly Human Tribe Great Generals and a bunch of Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures spat through gritted teeth.
They charged toward the nine Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures maintaining the formation once again. This was an all-out a.s.sault with no regard for their own lives!
The battle became fiercer and fiercer.
The one who had unleashed the Reincarnation Tune, Gabriel, instantly became targeted by all of the enemy powerful beings.
She stood on the battlefield with her white wings extended. Her holy beauty was unmatched, and she had one hand clasped over her heart while the other was caressing the earth. She was so gorgeous and flawless. She should have been someone that touched the souls of all living beings in this world, but instead, she was responsible for summoning countless dead souls and deceased powers.
“Can you hear it? The will of G.o.d?”
Gabriel looked up into the sky with her clear blue eyes, and her long eyelashes tremored gently.
“Do you feel it? The power of G.o.d?”
More and more red particles of light emanated from her heart while her body gradually grew more and more insubstantial. She was like a Holy Maiden that was sacrificing her all, creating a peaceful yet determined image.
Gabriel was the Holy Angel of reincarnation, and she was also the only being in the Holy Paradise capable of acting as a vessel for G.o.d’s power. Her combat prowess was inferior to Michael’s, but her cultivation base was at the very pinnacle of the Dao Integration Stage; she was virtually knocking on the doorstep of the G.o.d of Creation Stage.
In the face of a combined attack from several Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures and a dozen or so Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals, she was not fl.u.s.tered or panicked in the slightest. Instead, her face was turned up to the sky and she had her eyes closed, as if she were listening to something.
The red and black energy vortex released by the Heaven Vanquis.h.i.+ng Formation enveloped Gabriel’s body, engulfing all of the oncoming spell techniques. The Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures and Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals were powerless against that energy vortex. All of them were unleas.h.i.+ng their most powerful attacks, but all to no avail.
“Dammit! The power unleashed by this formation has already transcended beyond the Dao Integration Stage!”
“We need the power of a Heavenly G.o.d to break it!”
“Which Heavenly G.o.d can lend us a hand?”
The powerful beings of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army turned to the Heavenly G.o.ds on the battlefield with beseeching glances.
They couldn’t count on Heavenly G.o.d Xing Ji, the Heavenly Soundless G.o.ddess, and the Heavenly Change G.o.ddess. Xu Xiaolan had learned her lesson from last time and was making sure that they weren’t going anywhere. In fact, it was yet to be seen whether they would be able to survive for much longer.
Heavenly G.o.ddess Fei Huang was unable to extricate herself from her battle with the five Vermilion Birds, while the Heavenly Sword G.o.d was getting the c.r.a.p beaten out of him by Demonic Emperor Si Yu. Additionally, the Heavenly Temperature G.o.d had yet to recover from his injuries, and in his debilitated state, he was being dominated by Michael. The only ones who could possibly lend a hand were the Heavenly Wood G.o.d, Heavenly Centaurea G.o.ddess, and Heavenly Slaughter G.o.d.
Elsewhere on the battlefield.
There was an area with a radius of several hundred kilometers, within which countless ma.s.sive trees reached into the sky like spears protruding from the ground.
A divine monkey over ten thousand feet tall with golden holy flames all over his body bulldozed his way forward. He crashed through the countless ma.s.sive trees protruding toward him and laughed heartily. “Little green brat, don’t you know that fire beats wood? You think you can beat me with your pitiful strength?”
The Heavenly Wood G.o.d stood on a divine tree that was over thirty thousand feet tall, and his robe flapped around him as he looked down indifferently at the oncoming Battling Buddha. He couldn’t be bothered to respond, as if talking to the Battling Buddha would lower him down to his level. A brilliant divine light erupted from above his head as he extended a hand toward the Battling Buddha before gripping the air.
Thump thump thump!
The earth was torn apart.
Green vines began to hurtle toward the Battling Buddha.
“Are you still not going to give up? Watch me burn these things to a crisp!”
“Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Holy Flame Explosion!”
The fire on the Battling Buddha’s body exploded like the sun. Extremely scorching holy flames imbued with heaven crus.h.i.+ng power instantly incinerated all the trees within a radius of over ten kilometers to ashes.
The Heavenly Wood G.o.d was right in front of him.
The Battling Buddha was just about to leap into the sky and swing his staff at the Heavenly Wood G.o.d when his expression suddenly changed, and he swung his Golden-Banded Staff violently into the ground instead. The green vines were seemingly immune to his fire and continued to hurtle toward him!
There were simply too many of them; after the Battling Buddha destroyed the vines coming at him from the sides, there were still countless vines converging from above, in front of, and behind him. These vines then bound the Battling Buddha tightly and prevented him from being able to move.
“Fire beats wood? How idiotic.
“When the powers of the five elements are strong enough, fire can evaporate water and wood can snap metal. Of course, wood can also remain immune to flames.”
The Heavenly Wood G.o.d remarked lightly, and he made a hand seal as he looked at the bound Battling Buddha.
The Battling Buddha discovered that the vines around him were becoming even thicker and that the flames around his body were drastically diminis.h.i.+ng.
“This is…” The Battling Buddha’s pupils contracted in shock. “They’re absorbing my fire?”
He discovered that these vines were frantically engulfing his flames, and as they increased in size, yellow energy surged relentlessly within them, making the binding power they were exerting even more powerful.
He wanted to struggle free from these vines, but they were immune to fire and couldn’t be destroyed using spell techniques. They were even extremely resistant to heaven crus.h.i.+ng power, and he was completely unable to escape in a short time.
“Have you ever tried… being burned by your own flames?” The Heavenly Wood G.o.d suddenly smiled as he extended a finger at the bound Battling Buddha.
The vines quickly inflated, and the flame energy within also expanded drastically. A scintillating light erupted forth, and the power spilling out was even stronger than that unleashed by the Battling Buddha!
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion appeared.
Scorching flames incinerated everything for several hundred kilometers, and the ma.s.sive divine monkey was inundated by boundless flames.
The Heavenly Wood G.o.d looked down upon him in a haughty manner. He spoke in an indifferent voice as he unleashed a barrier to keep the flames at bay, “Wood can enhance fire. That last attack perfectly fused my wood power and your flame power. Even if you’re a heavenly disciple candidate, you must be dead by now or at least severely wounded…”
However, in the next instant, the Heavenly Wood G.o.d saw a ma.s.sive monkey face outside his barrier, appraising him with a sinister smile.
“How could this be…”
“Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng… Staff!”
The golden staff fell with extreme power and heaven crus.h.i.+ng true intent. It pierced viciously into the Heavenly Wood G.o.d’s barrier, as if it were trying to punch a hole in the sky, before cras.h.i.+ng into his chest, causing it to cave in ma.s.sively!
Boom!
The Heavenly Wood G.o.d’s eyes widened as his chest was crushed by the Golden-Banded Staff, and he threw up a mouthful of blood as he flew back through the air.
A divine monkey in iridescent armor emerged from amid the flames. His eyes were as dazzling as the sun as he chortled with mirth. “Your flames are indeed more powerful than mine, but one thing you don’t know is that I am not scared of any fire!
“I finally got to pummel you, you little green rascal! Weren’t you uninterested in my name last time? Well, let me give you a reminder. The one who is pummeling you… is the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Great Sage… Son Goku!”
