Mang Hou
Chapter 640 Made a Fortune!
Su Lun had fought the old ninth-tier thunder mage before and knew his strength very well.
He was considered one of the best among the ninth-tier archmages of the Celestial God Plane. His understanding of lightning magic was close to the limit of human comprehension, and he had no shortcomings.
Even Su Lun wasn't sure he could kill him now.
But he never expected Qian Tiao to kill him with a single strike.
Although Su Lun had helped control the old mage, this one strike broke through the [Thunder God's Protection], which still surprised him: "Severing the realm of rules... Sister Qian Tiao's Sword God realm is even more outrageous than Senior Barto!"
Looking again, Qian Tiao's Rakshasa golden body was shining brightly in the distance.
At this moment, the third-stage [Rakshasa Woman] talent was no longer an illusion, but truly transformed the whole person into a golden Rakshasa. Her skin was like gold lacquer, her hair stood on end like flames, she had two heads and six arms—one head like an angry, glaring evil god, the other a joyful, compassionate Rakshasa. Her body was surrounded by domineering aura, standing in the void. The three magatama thunder drums behind the golden body drew in a surge of thunder elements, turning the surroundings into a large-scale domain of evil thunder.
It was this terrifying control over lightning that caused the old thunder mage to freeze for a moment, which led to his being killed.
"A true form of the Dharma?"
Seeing this scene, Su Lun thought of a Shinto secret technique from the Mountain Hidden Kingdom.
This was a celestial phenomenon that only appeared when certain gods descended.
At this moment, Qian Tiao's six-armed Dharma form each held a sword. One hand held [Onimaru Hyaku-me], which, once unsheathed, seemed to release thousands of monsters, with demonic energy soaring into the sky. The other hand held [Butsu-tetsu], the number one sword among the twelve famous swords, with a mixture of golden and red energy, both Buddhist and demonic, both righteous and evil, vaguely transcending the realm of mortals.
With this golden body Dharma form, she truly resembled a god guarding the gates of hell.
Drawing the sword was hell itself.
Qian Tiao's power now was countless times stronger than it had been two years ago.
"It seems that Sister Qian Tiao really comprehended something incredible in Huang Quan Country." Su Lun's heart was also filled with joy.
In the All-Knowing Eye, he saw deeper things behind this Dharma form—the special rules of power that described Huang Quan hell.
This was the kind of scenery that only professionals who had been to higher planes could comprehend.
These past few days, he had only heard Qian Tiao's descriptions and didn't feel much. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the Sword God realm she had risked her life to gain these past two years was truly ridiculously powerful.
...
Qian Tiao used her strongest third-stage state right from the start. After all, the main target of this ambush was not this ninth-tier thunder mage, but the demigod Octavia, so no carelessness was allowed.
The great princess of the Celestial God Plane watched her servant being killed, and the expression on her cold, arrogant face froze.
She never expected that her servant would be killed in one exchange.
Looking at Qian Tiao's Rakshasa golden body, Octavia frowned.
The domineering sword intent made her feel a deadly threat.
However, it was only a trace of surprise. She sneered in her heart: "So the Alchemic Plane actually hides such a native. No wonder they dared to ambush me.
But that's all.
With the blessing of divine power, no matter what means the opponent has, she cannot be defeated on this plane.
But the next scene made this Celestial demigod's jaw drop.
Since Su Lun and the others dared to ambush her, they must have a complete plan.
How could they not have considered that this guy would summon the will of the gods sooner or later?
"A demigod powerhouse, the will of a true god descending, is indeed something that no one in the Alchemic Plane can deal with."
"But what if it can't descend?"
When Su Lun released the two-way insects in the plane channel before, he carefully observed how the will of the gods descended.
In the end, he discovered that the descent was greatly related to the "power of faith."
In the eyes of an alchemist, everything has a cause and effect.
Looking at its principles, this kind of faith connection across planes is like the wireless signal of a communication device. Finding the right method can definitely interfere with it.
Although this great princess Octavia summoned the will of the gods in an instant, which really surprised Su Lun and the others.
But the result was the same.
They never hoped that the will of the gods would not descend.
At the same time that Gan Tiao killed the thunder mage, a trace of red lines gathered in the dark, sealed sky. In the blink of an eye, a strange red moon hung in the air.
The light of this red moon illuminated the entire sealed space in a blood-red color.
Even more bizarrely, when it shone on Octavia, it suppressed the divine light overflowing from her body.
The indescribable will that had been descending was now very unstable, as if the signal had been disturbed. The divine light on her body flickered on and off.
Octavia sensed this change, and her expression changed drastically, as if she had seen something unbelievable: "These natives actually interfered with my faith and divine power?!"
Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at the red moon in the sky, and the vertical pupil between her eyebrows shone with blue light, as if she had seen through something: "Heretical false god?"
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort.
Octavia's vertical pupil shot out a beam of decomposition light, instantly piercing a large hole in the red moon.
[Omniscient True Solution] can decompose everything!
However, just after this red moon was pierced, blood-colored streamers danced wildly in the sky, as if listening to someone's light rebuke: "Tsukuyomi - Tsukiyo Shinto!"
Looking again, in another place not far away, another intact red moon condensed.
The great god Tsukuyomi was not so easy to kill.
The trip to the Burial God Land was not only fruitful for Su Lun and the others, but also for Pandora, the false god!
That was the place where gods had fallen, and too much broken power of faith remained, which she absorbed completely.
In terms of divine power, Pandora was probably at the peak of false gods on the plane at this moment.
Moreover, she would not be killed unless the parasitic object was destroyed.
Being pierced by this divine eye would only result in the loss of some divine power.
Octavia's eyes sharpened as she watched her attack fail, and she saw through everything.
In the blink of an eye, divine power gathered in her hands, turning into dazzling light, which turned into the projections of two divine artifacts: a sword and a shield.
The [Holy Sword of Puni] in her left hand, and the [Immaculate Shield] in her right hand!
With the two divine artifacts in hand, she turned into a stream of light, rapidly slashing towards the red moon in the sky.
Only divine power could better deal with false gods!
Although she didn't know how the power of faith had been stolen, the power of a true god was not something these false gods could withstand. All she had to do was defeat them.
However, before she could touch the red moon, a ray of thunder had already intercepted her halfway.
The two collided with a loud "bang," and the terrifying chaotic laws of holy light, thunder, and space turned into shock waves, instantly sweeping through the entire space.
This strike was definitely above the ninth tier.
The two figures retreated in the void, and looking again, Qian Tiao, in her Rakshasa golden body, was covered in flashing thunder. She had directly withstood the attack of the demigod Octavia, without losing any ground.
Octavia was blocked, and her face darkened. "Strange, how could she be so strong?"
A master of this level could never be cultivated in a low-level plane.
Shallow water cannot raise big fish.
A master of this level had already touched the upper limit of the laws of the Alchemic Plane. Normally speaking, it was absolutely impossible for them to appear among the "natives."
But before she could figure it out, Gan Tiao's figure had once again turned into thunder, and her domineering sword energy slashed towards her.
The red moon in the sky became more and more strange, and the power of faith was being stolen more and more seriously, like a dam breaking.
Mr. Jing was not idle either. At the same time that Pandora and Qian Tiao made their moves, he also freed his hand, and the technique changed again: "Ultimate Mystery - Dark Ouroboros!"
As soon as this technique condensed, the endless dark elements in the space flowed regularly like viscous asphalt. It turned into a large snake, biting its tail, forming a special internal circulation barrier.
When Sir Isaac captured a fallen angel of a true god, he had left behind many means of restricting gods.
And Mr. Jing, as Sir Isaac's daughter, how could he not know those means?
[Pitch-Black Seal] paired with [Dark Ouroboros], one sealing and one converting, was originally an excellent means of restraining any divine power.
The two techniques used the equivalent exchange of alchemy to limit all energy within the sealed space.
It was like stewing meat in a big pot. Even the toughest meat would rot in the pot.
No matter what means the enemy used, the released energy would be converted into dark energy and then rebounded!
This was the power of this set of combined divine techniques.
Octavia, who was in the midst of the fierce battle, obviously noticed this and her face became increasingly ugly.
She had the [Immaculate Shield], which was invulnerable to all laws!
She also had the [Holy Sword of Puni], which was indestructible!
And the Eye of the Celestial God, which could decompose all things!
Originally, the information said that there were only two ninth tiers in the Alchemic Plane. Even if ten or eight ninth tiers came, it would be impossible to stop the divine descent.
But unexpectedly, several such tricky existences had come.
Moreover, it seemed that the cooperation of these people was specifically designed to restrain her divine descent.
Octavia, who was under siege, already knew that it would be troublesome to continue like this. She was extremely decisive and shouted: "Divine Technique - Holy Light Illumination!"
In an instant, divine power burned and her aura soared tenfold. The holy light on her body bloomed like the light of the sun, making it impossible for people to look directly at her.
For a time, the holy light dispelled the endless darkness and shone on the edge of the barrier, scorching the thick vines.
In terms of realm alone, she, a demigod, was higher than anyone present.
Now that her strength had soared with the burning of divine power, there was no way she could lose!
At this moment, Octavia no longer had the idea of quickly killing the alchemic natives in front of her. Instead, she wanted to break through this sealed space first.
As long as she rushed out, these people would surely die!
However, this guy forgot that there was still one person.
She wanted to leave, but found that her soul was restricted within the range of the bronze ancient lamp. When she tried to use [Flash] to teleport, she found that the entire space seemed to have been cast in molten iron, greatly limiting her teleportation speed.
If it was just a single method, she could find a way to solve it.
But this series of restrictions had restrained her various abilities everywhere, leaving no chance at all.
Moreover, there was no way Su Lun and the others would let her break free from her restraints!
...
"Burning divine power to escape? How could we possibly let you escape!"
In the corner, Su Lun's second-stage All-Knowing Eye had already seen through everything.
Although this great princess's state was strong to the extreme, it was like a berserk state. As long as they survived this peak wave, the longer they dragged it out, the lower the enemy's chances of winning would be.
But even if they knew how to deal with it, the process was extremely dangerous.
A demigod powerhouse burning divine power was already a level of power that exceeded the understanding of anyone in the Alchemic Plane.
No one knew what would happen next. They could only fight head-on.
The moment Su Lun saw Octavia burning her divine power, his intuition told him that methods below the divine level might not be able to hold her back. So, he immediately condensed a technique and used the [Ouroboros Time-Space Ring] to seal the space within this barrier!
Both sides were sealed, cutting off all escape routes. No one could escape.
In the current situation, only this God King artifact had a 100% certainty of restraining this guy.
This was a desperate ambush. No matter what means were exposed, Octavia had to be killed here!
And now that this woman was being held back by Qian Tiao and the nine Mr. Jings,
Su Lun also had room to output.
Without any delay, while restricting the space, his hands rapidly changed hand seals. At the same time,
The eight-armed spider spear behind him had already pulled out several scrolls: "Mystery - Puppet Theater!"
The scrolls burst open with a "pop pop pop," and in an instant, more than 100,000 gargoyles appeared everywhere in the space.
And in the sky, a super large cross was instantly formed.
There was only one enemy in sight, so the gargoyles didn't need complex controls. These gargoyles were like the array points of an alchemic array, just standing there and outputting.
Controlling more than 100,000 at once was not a big problem for Su Lun.
In the blink of an eye, the runes on the dense gargoyles lit up.
The output ability of more than 100,000 gargoyles working together was not weaker than a dozen ninth-tier professionals!
Su Lun manipulated the puppet army, condensing alchemic techniques comparable to the ninth tier, and bombarded the dazzling figure in the sky round after round.
...
Su Lun, Mr. Jing, and Qian Tiao cooperated tacitly, bombarding Octavia with a barrage of attacks.
For a time, sword energy crisscrossed in the sealed space, and various forbidden curses and divine techniques were used like they cost nothing.
The huge space was like a sealed nuclear explosion site, with various high-level laws and rules in a chaotic mess.
In this kind of battle, ordinary ninth-tier professionals would not be able to last for a moment before being reduced to ashes.
After fighting for a while, Su Lun and the others had to admit that this Celestial archmage burning her divine power was indeed ridiculously strong.
So strong that no matter how many more ninth tiers came, they might not be able to break her "invincible posture."
But it was almost impossible for her to kill Su Lun and the others.
Mr. Jing's mirror cloning ability was a bit weak in terms of killing methods, but his self-preservation ability was extremely excellent. Even a demigod still had a 50-50 chance of winning.
And Qian Tiao was now a ninth-tier Sword God. She had a record of killing demigod monsters in Huang Quan Country before. Although this one was a bit different, she would definitely not be defeated in a short period of time.
And Su Lun was even more so. Although he was only in the eighth tier, no one could match his ability to save his life.
After using the [Ouroboros Time-Space Ring] to its full effect, the space was him and he was the space.
Unless his spiritual power was exhausted, it would be difficult to kill him.
Then there was Pandora, who had transformed into the great god Tsukuyomi, and Pestoa in her spirit state. They were already extremely special and difficult to seriously injure.
In the entire battle group, the only ones who could be considered a weakness were the puppets.
These gargoyles were forged from activated silver, and their physical and magical resistance could withstand attacks of about the eighth tier.
But under the destruction of a demigod's attacks, they were almost as fragile as paper.
Especially under the artifact projection [Holy Sword of Puni], a single slash would destroy a large area. Under the penetrating beam of [Omniscient True Solution], a single shot would reduce them to ashes.
But there was no such thing as being "killed" for a puppet. At most, its structure was destroyed.
And even if they were completely decomposed by [Omniscient True Solution], Su Lun didn't feel any heartache.
After the trip to the Burial God Land, the activated silver in the small void world had piled up like a mountain. There was as much as he wanted.
After destroying a batch, the factory production line could quickly produce another batch.
Moreover, Su Lun was certain that the greater the price paid to kill an enemy, the more abundant the loot would be. He used all kinds of methods without hesitation.
In this way, the two sides staged a peak battle on the plane in the sealed space.
If Su Lun hadn't strengthened the space, this level of battle might have directly shattered the space near the Taganville Trench.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the fierce battle in the sealed space continued.
After all, the burning of divine power was also limited.
Octavia burned her divine power but failed to break the situation as expected, and the divine power on her body became increasingly thin.
Not only was Pandora continuously stealing her power of faith, but Mr. Jing was also using means to restrict the descent of divine power.
Cutting off the water and intercepting the flow, this archmage's situation was getting worse and worse.
Moreover, the burning of divine power was also a huge consumption for the carrier itself.
A mortal body wanting to bear too much power beyond its own body was also a kind of overload.
The enemy slowly fell from its peak state. On the other hand, Qian Tiao, the Sword God who severed the realm of rules, was not a vegetarian.
It was difficult to kill Octavia, who had the [Immaculate Shield] protecting her, with conventional methods. But Qian Tiao's current sword path could kill a demigod.
From the beginning, when Octavia was suppressing Su Lun and the others, to later when her divine power was exhausted, it was their turn to take turns fighting this great princess.
In the dark space, all that could be seen was lightning chasing a "sun" everywhere.
Thunder and lightning crisscrossed, each move a killer move.
From time to time, there were reflections of mirror light hidden with killing intent, surrounded by moonlight, and the puppet army on the ground would occasionally bombard with various techniques. They also had to be wary of the fire of the death god that had turned into a ghost...
Although Su Lun and the others had suffered some losses in the fierce battle, they were fighting one against many and had made preparations early. The enemy was obviously suffering more losses.
In the high-intensity attrition battle, Octavia gradually showed signs of decline.
Due to the excessive burning of divine power, her body was like a sun that had been burning for too long. Cracks like lava appeared on her fair skin. In the fierce battle, some dust from her burnt skin was also raised. After problems appeared in her body, it became increasingly difficult for the limited divine power to descend.
Moreover, Su Lun and the others had never given the enemy time to breathe, continuing to consume them in a rotation battle.
And this kind of battle often determines victory or defeat in an instant.
Finally, Qian Tiao suddenly saw an opportunity and slashed over with a thunderous sword.
Light golden blood splattered in the sky. Octavia couldn't avoid it and her right arm, which was holding the Holy Sword of Light, was cut off at the root.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
With a limb crippled, combat power was greatly reduced. The defeat was set.
Mr. Jing watched Qian Tiao succeed with one strike and seized the opportunity to pursue the victory. Countless black iron chains around him took the opportunity to wrap around the great princess's ankles. Then, a flash of mirror light cut off her entire foot.
Octavia, who had lost an arm and a leg, no longer had the power to fight. She couldn't even maintain the projections of the two divine artifacts, which disintegrated into holy light. She wanted to struggle again, but at this time, Su Lun had already appeared in front of her, face to face, and sealed off the space around her limbs with a clap of his hands.
Almost at the same time, the red moon in the sky also turned into wisps of red thread, firmly trapping Octavia, isolating all divine power and faith.
Mr. Jing raised his hand and a piece of silver mirror light, like silk, reinforced another layer, wrapping the enemy like a mummy.
...
"Finally, this guy has been dealt with."
"Yeah, a demigod's combat power is really outrageous." "... "
Su Lun and the others looked at Octavia, who was trapped tightly, and then breathed out a sigh of turbid air.
The battle was over.
Although the encirclement and suppression process was full of dangers, the ending was ideal.
Originally, they had planned that if they couldn't keep her alive, they would kill her.
If they could keep her alive, then... a big show would be staged next.
Such a good bait, the million-strong army of the Celestial God Plane would definitely come to rescue, even if they gave up attacking Lu Ying.
Attacking the reinforcements at the point of encirclement was perfect!
He didn't know if the enemy had confirmed it, but now an emergency report from the Empire's military had already come through the communicator. The million-strong army of the Celestial God Plane had indeed changed course and was coming to rescue.
Even Constantine Reynolds, the "Evil Archmage" who had been hiding in Lu Ying and causing great damage, had appeared and was rushing over.
But it would take a little time to get here.
Su Lun looked at the immobile demigod, raised his hand, and a distorted person in a white coat appeared beside him. "Doctor, I'm counting on you."
"Okay."
The person who came was naturally Dr. Banks.
After he came out, he didn't delay and his arm stretched out, turning into a mass of black
living biological tissue that headed towards Octavia's face, which couldn't move.
The black living tissue covered the face of this demigod and agitated for a while. Before long, a complete eyeball connected to the nerves was peeled off.
This was the third divine eye of the Celestial race.
Now that it had been peeled off, even if Octavia recovered, her combat power would be greatly reduced.
Dr. Banks put the eyeball into a container and said to everyone: "Leader, Su Lun, and everyone, I'll go back to the lab first. It would be even better if the corpse can be kept intact after the battle."
"Okay."
Su Lun nodded, raised his hand, and put Dr. Banks into the small void world.
At this time, Mr. Jing said: "Everyone, take a good rest. There will be several hard battles later."
Gan Tiao had an expression full of fighting spirit. "There's another demigod among those guys from the Celestial God Plane? Tsk tsk, I wonder if they will be fooled."
Pandora also transformed into a human form and smiled slightly: "They will probably come."
"Okay."
Mr. Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, not only because he had defeated a strong enemy, but also because this battle had a significant impact on the subsequent battles.
He murmured: "With this bait, this decisive battle with the million-strong army finally has a breakthrough."
"... "
Su Lun didn't care. He didn't consume too much. The [Isaac Alchemic Heart] was recovering quickly. Even if he fought again immediately, it wouldn't be a big problem.
At the same time as speaking, he picked up Octavia's severed arm.
There were three rings on the five fair fingers.
Two magical equipment, an epic-quality magic conductor that amplifies magic power [Magic · Ring of Disaster], and a relic of the Saint Army sect [Original Holy Light Emblem], were all top-level magical equipment under artifacts.
And the last one was a storage ring.
Su Lun wanted to see what the spoils of this battle were like, so he glanced at it casually.
Originally, he thought that Octavia · Fielding was the great princess of the Aishiden Empire of the Celestial God Plane and a demigod powerhouse, so she must be rich.
But looking at the items piled up like a mountain in this storage ring made of plane fragments, he couldn't help but say a swear word with his current vision: "Holy shit... I've made a fortune!"
There were dense rows of various magical equipment, potions, scrolls, and gems... Row after row on the shelves, boxes after boxes in the boxes, neatly arranged.
Looking at this situation, it seemed that most of the high-level supplies of the million-strong army were here.
Su Lun himself had experienced many adventures of getting rich and was one of the richest people in the Alchemic Plane. But at this moment, looking at the wealth in this storage ring, he couldn't help but breathe a little harder.
He had indeed made a fortune.
These advanced magical materials would also be of great help to them at the moment.
And when he was checking those magical equipment, he saw a tightly sealed magical treasure chest in this storage ring.
The magic pattern specifications on this treasure chest were very high, so high that it stood out at a glance in this pile of treasures.
"Could it be...? "
Su Lun looked at the markings on it and suddenly became expectant.
Once opened, what was sealed in the treasure chest was a monster corpse. It was none other than the corpse of the [Void Two-Way Insect]!
