Paradise of Demonic Gods

Chapter 889 Cage

The entire battlefield appeared very large just like a battle between the gods and the demons in the legends. Wide expanses of bugs turned into fireballs and descended toward the ground like meteors.

The place within a range of 1,000 lis was filled with thunderbolt and flames, crushing numerous mountains and rivers.

Many dragon roars rang through the sky, shattering the cloud layers. Every once in a while, a huge metallic dragon would plunge down, and countless metal fragments scattered across the sky.

After over half an hour, the entire land was covered by metal fragments. The densely packed metallic fragments were like a sea of metal, gushing out toward the ground.

However, no matter how many robotic armies were destroyed, more of them could fill up the place. Fighter aircrafts, flying cruiser, robotic bugs, and Dragon Cavalries... There was an endless amount of them, and there seemed to be no end in sight no matter how many of them were killed. Right now, the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda’s glow seemed a lot weaker, and hints of cracks would occasionally appear on the pagoda that had a height of several hundred meters.

Yet, simultaneously, the Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda had already charged its way to the spot above the underground base. A myriad of golden light suddenly condensed, turning into a light pillar that descended down from the skies and crashed fiercely onto the ground.

The light pillar seemed as if it had a physical form. At the instant it clashed onto the surface, a loud sound exploded. Then shock waves were sent out to all directions with the light pillar as the center at the very next moment. Terrifying shockwaves swept out, crushing the countless robots they encountered into waste metal. The base’s buildings, which were on the surface of the ground, were also crushed into ruins.

Right after, light trembled and the earth started to disintegrate incessantly, turning into dust. It was as if a huge drill head was digging toward the Divine Emperor.

Nina’s cold voice rang out, "The other party is vaporizing the ground at a speed of ten meters per second. It is estimated to come into contact with the base’s lowest level after two minutes."

The Divine Emperor’s mouth twitched. "I wasn’t expecting the Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda that you people forged to be quite this good."

Qiu Dao said calmly, "Should we activate that?"

"Go ahead. I don’t wish to have my connection cut off from the network for 15 minutes."

...

Simultaneously, within the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda, everyone from the Qiu Dao Alliance was extremely excited to see that they had managed to charge to the depths of the base.

"It’s a safety zone. A safety zone of such a ??... It must be the Divine Emperor’s main base." Zi Xing stared at the ground under her feet. "We’re sure to win if we’re able to capture the Divine Emperor alive."

A hint of a smile crept up from the corners of Luo Haonan’s lips. "I didn’t expect things to be so smooth-sailing this time around. It seems that the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda’s prowess far surpasses that of our estimations.

"It’s also thanks to Lord Qiu Dao for locating the Divine Emperor’s location. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have progressed so smoothly."

Qiu Dao nodded but did not say anything.

The Snake King said coldly, "Don’t let down your guard. The Divine Emperor has his most elite cyborg army with him. It’s not time to let down your guard yet. Be careful that he’ll retaliate or escape."

"It’s fine. Wan Tong hasn’t activated his operation yet," Luo Haonan stated. Then he looked at Wan Tong and said, "Activate the Thunder Formation and paralyze all of the Divine Emperor’s armies. The time will be sufficient for us to capture him alive."

Wan Tong opened his eyes and nodded. His gaze instantly became very blurry. At the next moment, an intense wave of electricity burst out from his body. It was then emitted from the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda like countless electric snakes that rose up into the sky, slithering amidst the atmosphere.

"It has started!" Luo Haonan said agitatedly. Simultaneously, he told Fang Xingjian through information currents, "Brother Fang, it seems that our mission can be completed successfully this time around. That Divine Emperor probably didn’t expect that we would be so fully prepared this time around."

Fang Xingjian did not say anything and just continued sending his martial will sweeping toward the depths of the ground.

Ice Soul, Zi Xing, and the Snake King watched with solemn expressions as the Thunder Formation was activated. If they were unable to think of a way to paralyze the Divine Emperor’s armies, then they would still be drowned by the endless robotic armies even if they could locate the Divine Emperor’s whereabouts.

Simultaneously, everyone started to feel a great threat through their Sudden Inspiration.

The Snake King bellowed, "Be careful! This must be the Divine Emperor’s retaliation!"

Everyone immediately got their guards up and their martial wills expanded. The Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda instantly burst out in golden light, and the spots that had faint cracks now seemed to start to recover. All of their powers were unleashed to a great extreme.

A terrifying gravitational force field radiated outward in all directions from the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda, and countless robotic bugs exploded with a bang.

However, just as everyone raised their guards, the electricity suddenly disappeared. The ether particles within a range of several thousand kilometers also disappeared.

The sudden disappearance of the ether particles brought about a tremendous effect. After all, the Qiu Dao Alliance’s experts made use of ether particles in their cultivation and would often also make use of the ether particles’ powers in battles.

Fang Xingjian’s eyes narrowed, and a term appeared in his mind, "Anti-ether Array?"

This was something which Demonic City had kept on trying to research but had been unable to develop. Right now, in this world, a similar yet much more powerful version was being displayed by a person.

The treasured Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda, which the Qiu Dao Alliance had forged, required constant absorbing of ether particles’ energy to replenish their depletion during its operation.

With the ether particles within a range of several thousand kilometers suddenly disappearing, the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda’s glow immediately became unstable, just like a light bulb that was about to extinguish.

Not only did the power that Wan Tong activated not paralyze the robotic armies, but it also greatly weakened the Qiu Dao Alliance’s battle prowess instead.

"Wan Tong! What’s going on?!"

The Snake King glared at Wan Tong in surprise and fury.

At the same moment the Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda weakened, the endless robotic armies came surging toward them as if they had been injected with a boost of chicken blood, instantly covering the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda. The densely-packed bugs grabbed onto the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda, colliding into this great treasure and causing it to plunge down slowly toward the ground.

Gasping, Zi Xing and the others quickly unleashed their powers and channeled them into the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda. A large amount of Dark Fiendish Flames burst out, incinerating the surface of the robotic bugs and even stopping the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda’s fall.

Zi Xing looked at Wan Tong and gritted her teeth, asking, "Wan Tong, have you gone crazy?!"

"He hasn’t gone crazy." Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Qiu Dao slowly lifted a finger, as if moving it gently in void space.

At the next moment, the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda’s golden light trembled and instantly split up into seven surges of martial will radiance that each went their own way.

"Qiu Dao! What have you done?!" Sensing that the Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda had started to plunge, Zi Xing let out an enraged bellow as she struck out her palm toward Qiu Dao.

However, when Zi Xing’s palm landed on Qiu Dao, she discovered that the other party was like an illusion. He dissipated into the air and then reassembled several meters away.

"What have I done? I was the one who had designed this Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda, and since I can let your powers merge into one, I can naturally cause them to be split up as well."

"Universal Absence of Self!" Zi Xing gritted her teeth. She recognized that this was Qiu Dao’s ultimate skill that could allow him to turn into a formless state. He would be unable to attack, but he would also be unaffected by most attacks.

The Snake King looked toward Qiu Dao and Wan Tong coldly. "What is the meaning of this?"

Luo Haonan, Ice Soul, Old Tian, and Zi Xing surrounded Qiu Dao and Wan Tong. Fang Xingjian was the only one who remained there unmoving. His eyes were looking deep down underground. It was as if he could see through the layers of void space to where the Divine Emperor was.

The Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda was no longer being controlled, and it was now plunging rapidly toward the ground. Countless robotic bugs gave chase, surrounding the Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda like a hornets’ nest.

Concurrently, 49 huge metallic dragons flipped their bodies and wrapped toward the Seven Sacred Great Golden Pagoda.

At this moment, the Seven Saints’ Great Golden Pagoda seemed to have turned into a cage.
