747 s.n.a.t.c.hing Food From the Tiger’s Mouth! (1)
At this moment, apart from the stillness of the captain and Xu Qing, all the human cultivators in the eastern region’s safe zone were filled with immense trepidation.
Most of them were sitting cross-legged and meditating, unable to observe or perceive the events happening in this realm. They relied on the collective power of the group and the formations to protect themselves.
In the battle of the G.o.ds, even a single glance could annihilate one’s body and soul if their life level was insufficient. Even if one didn’t directly look but employed a method similar to the captain’s, it still required the support of one’s life level or the possession of special objects.
However, it was evident that not everyone in the human army in this area possessed special objects. Therefore, there were only a few cultivators who could witness that battle.
Outside the Immortal Forbidden, near the shattered array, there was another group of people waiting at the depths of the Prison Department.
The Seventh Prince was among them.
The expressions of the Deputy Governor, the generals of the various palaces, and a large number of almighty experts from the Imperial City’s army were extremely solemn. In fact, the four-clawed golden dragon in the sky outside also looked completely focused.
They were all looking at the hole in front of them.
That place had been sealed up and replaced by a light screen. What was projected on it was none other than the Crimson G.o.ddess and the Immortal Forbidden’s G.o.d.
“Your Highness, everything is going according to plan.”
“As predicted by His Majesty and the state preceptor, the Crimson G.o.ddess, upon awakening, intends to devour the Immortal Forbidden G.o.d.”
“We are uncertain if the second phase of the plan will proceed smoothly. After all, the Crimson G.o.ddess will not take too long to absorb the Immortal Forbidden G.o.d. Moreover, if She were to descend upon the outside world, it could pose a threat to the entire Fenghai County.”
Beside the Seventh Prince stood a figure cloaked in black robes, who spoke in a low voice with a sharp and chilling tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Fenghai County cultivators all lowered their heads with complicated expressions.
The Seventh Prince stared at the light screen and calmly spoke.
“Before I came, Father asked me if I was afraid of dying in this place. At that time, I said I was willing to sacrifice myself for the cause of the human race!”
“If the Crimson G.o.ddess breaks out, although I may not have the power to stop her, I will not escape either. I, Guyue Zhangan, am also willing to be buried together with Fenghai.”
“At that time, Father looked at me and said something. He said that G.o.ds are just beings of a higher order than us, and Their so-called omniscience and omnipotence are only relative to beings weaker than Them.”
“So, even G.o.ds can be exploited, as long as there is a strategy.”
“The Crimson G.o.ddess will definitely not be satisfied…”
The Seventh Prince said softly.
At that moment, in the Immortal Forbidden, the G.o.d that was like a thick thread was still struggling. Its twisted form unleashed a dazzling and blinding golden radiance from the twenty-seven needle-like spikes. With a destructive force capable of shattering heaven and earth, they coiled and attempted to pierce into the invisible hand of the Crimson G.o.ddess.
Each of the twenty-seven spikes would be considered a supreme treasure in the w.a.n.ggu Continent. However, in the face of the Crimson G.o.ddess, they were unable to mount a significant resistance. Even if they managed to stab into the hand, they still found themselves unable to break free from Her grasp.
The piercing sound of friction, accompanied by the roars of the Immortal Forbidden’s G.o.d, echoed throughout this realm.
From a distance, the Immortal Forbidden G.o.d appeared like a snake whose vital point was grabbed tightly, being gradually pulled towards the Crimson G.o.ddess.
Every time It twisted, the void would shatter. Every time It roared, the surroundings collapsed.
Both the sky and land were affected, causing this place to seem like a battlefield that had turned into ruins.
The Crimson G.o.ddess, who had descended upon the body of Zhang Siyun, had fully opened Her mouth, stretching the corners to the ears in an exaggerated manner. This terrifying and ferocious sight instilled boundless fear.
Among the countless sharp teeth, there was a tongue formed by numerous strands of hair protruding from the mouth of the Crimson G.o.ddess.
At the tip of this tongue, there was a blurry face that looked like the face of a woman. Although her eyes were closed, her expression still revealed greed and hunger.
A large amount of saliva gushed out from under the tongue and flowed onto the ground, causing more deep pits to appear.
From a macro perspective, it was an incomprehensible and supreme power surpa.s.sing the level of cultivators. The collision between them revealed faint glimpses of golden radiance and b.l.o.o.d.y light, accompanied by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of divine techniques taking shape.
Every time they formed, they would instantly collapse before appearing again in the blink of an eye.
It seemed that divine techniques, for Them, required no deliberate effort, as they naturally manifested with every movement.
However, from a microscopic perspective, They looked like primitive beings; one seeking to devour, while the other was on the verge of being devoured.
There was no sense of holy feeling that one would expect from a G.o.d, yet those who witnessed this scene through various means couldn’t help but feel a sense of holiness rising within them.
It was as though the word ‘holy’ had unknowingly distorted its meaning many years ago after the G.o.d’s fragmented-face descended.
Simultaneously, in the eyes of all who witnessed this, there was a distinct sense that the Immortal Forbidden G.o.d’s divine authority of oblivion seemed to have no effect in the presence of the Crimson G.o.ddess.
The difference between the two was too great. It was like a child facing an adult.
It wasn’t that the Immortal Forbidden G.o.d wasn’t strong, but the level of the Crimson G.o.ddess was too high!
Just as the Immortal Forbidden G.o.d was about to be devoured, its serpentine form unleashed a ferocious roar, and in the next instant, it willingly chose to collapse and disintegrate on its own.
