Chapter 758 - 479: Heavenly Sorrow Activated, Laser Cannon!
"I heard that the southern war is about to succeed, and the Holy City has been completely sealed off."
"Indeed, that’s the power personally descended by the Angel. How could those despicable humans possibly resist?"
"Let it end quickly...."
Below Heavenly Tragedy Mountain, in a snake-man camp, an invisible barrier rises, isolating inside from outside.
In the center of the camp with a dozen watchtowers, wooden huts and domed tents rise from the ground, and elite snake-man patrols crisscross, occasionally engaging in low conversations.
The black or silver armor is clearly made of sturdy materials, with each snake-man equipped with swords or spears.
At the center of the patrols is the largest area, with a domed tent spanning hundreds of meters.
Inside, there are several snake-men, either dressed in black armor or wide-sleeved robes, seated side by side on wooden chairs.
Their scales are of various colors, silver-white, jade-blue, frost-white... these are people of the Five Great Tribes from the northern territories.
Upon closer inspection, their aura is mostly at the fake sixth order level, with the minimum being a fake saint.
In the center of these aligned chairs, at the lone seat.
Sits a black-scaled snake-man wearing a black temple robe, with six snake-shaped patterns on the cuffs.
"New results came from the south."
"Lord Lava took action personally, and the first frontier fort of the Holy City has been successfully destroyed."
The black-scaled snake-man from Snake God Temple, probably middle-aged, speaks in a deep voice.
Upon hearing the news, everyone from the Five Great Tribes shows a startled expression, and then they see him continue: "We need not be distracted by the southern war, just hold this place."
"That outsider is too despicable and might appear at any time as the final reinforcement for the Holy City."
"As long as we blockade and intercept him here, it’s a great feat for all of us."
Upon hearing this, the saints of the Five Great Tribes nod repeatedly in agreement.
Among them, one snake-man speaks in support.
"Don’t worry, Doma Envoy."
"No matter what, we will cooperate with the temple to stop that despicable outsider."
The speaker, with a deep voice, has a typical burly figure, wearing dark brown armor, resembling a giant lizard.
Every scale on his body is as hard as a stone, making it seem unmovable.
"Indeed, Doma Envoy."
"This time we have received the angel’s blessing, which has allowed us to reach the saint rank, and we will not disappoint Lord Lava."
"Our tribes have also conducted enhancement rituals, using our foundation, constantly maintaining the operation of Blood Prison... even if that outsider has the strength of a Lower-Rank Angel, he cannot easily breakthrough the blockade."
The expressions of the four other saints vary, but they also agree.
The outsider is certainly powerful, but ultimately is not of this realm.
Now the temple and their Five Great Tribes have joined forces, not only boosting their strength with blessings but also descended angel power.
Furthermore, treasures like the Blood Prison have been deployed, fully sufficient to block two Lower-Rank Angels.
"Excellent."
Nodding, sitting at the head, Doma temple envoy is very satisfied.
Currently, the seven angel majesties have begun responding to prayers, successively bestowing blessings and even descending avatars.
They need not worry as they did before, due to a single Lower-Rank Angel.
Just wait for the southern war to end, so angel majesties can make time.
By then, if the outsider dares to descend upon this world, it won’t just be about intercepting anymore.
"Everyone, let’s proceed as such."
"Continue maintaining vigilance over Heavenly Tragedy Mountain."
Pushing aside distracting thoughts, Doma envoy smiles and says: "If that outsider truly dares to descend, let’s give him an unforgettable lesson."
"Let him know, this is our home field!"
The crowd exchanges smiles, with some even showing anticipation.
They suddenly yearn for the other’s descent, as it would allow them to prove themselves and earn more merits.
"Doma Envoy is right."
"This is indeed our home field; if that despicable outsider really dares to descend, surely have no return....."
Boom!!
Suddenly, the ground trembles.
Everyone’s smiles instantly freeze, feeling the ground beneath them shake like an earthquake, and the surrounding air generates a hurricane-like formidable pressure.
"What’s going on?"
Amidst voices of doubt, everyone rushes out of the tent, looking around.
The snake-man warriors each have expressions of suspicion, with the barrier enveloping the camp rippling with waves.
Before they can regain composure, the ground vibrations intensify.
Boom!
Crack!!
The sensation of earth and mountain shaking spreads all around, and finally, someone notices the anomaly.
"Look quickly!"
"It’s, it’s Heavenly Tragedy Mountain!"
A snake-man commander shouts in confusion, and many eyes follow suit.
The majestic mountain here, thousands of meters tall, is constantly trembling.
As if invisible shock waves spread everywhere, surrounding clouds are dispersed, revealing its perilous rocky cliff and the dense forests atop.
Huge rocks tumble down, with the inside mutant beasts screaming in fear, scattering everywhere.
As for the patrolling snake-man team, due to the impact, they howl and perish, bursting into blood fragments, including the winged snake swirling in the sky, swaying left and right, plummeting under the thick air and shock waves.
Buzz!
In an instant, as if realizing.
The barrier locking the high sky space activates autonomously, unleashing its power.
The azure sky is dyed scarlet, with invisible chains of blood-colored patterns, thoroughly encircling that sky and earth without a blind spot.
"What’s going on?"
"It actually triggered the Blood Prison autonomously!"
The saints of the Five Great Tribes notice the discrepancy, with Doma Divine Envoy also narrowing his eyes.
And soon, as if something had dawned on him, his expression turned grave, with traces of excitement mixed in.
"It’s the outsider!"
"He must have returned to the interior of the Heavenly Tragedy Mountain!"
As his words fell, the Saints of the Five Great Tribes were all visibly startled.
Without a word, they all revealed similar complex expressions, a mix of the gravity and solemnity of facing a formidable enemy, along with the excitement and thrill of soon achieving a great merit.
"Everyone, together!!"
"Alright!"
In an instant, under the guidance of the temple envoy, the five Saints sat cross-legged according to the ritual, surrounding him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Beams of light in various colors burst forth from their bodies, piercing through the barrier, shooting straight up into the sky, landing on the blood-colored chains that locked the space.
The dense chains became even more solid, completely suppressing the space where the Heavenly Tragedy Mountain was located, transforming it into a prison-like cage.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!
In an instant, the bodies of mutant beasts escaping from the Heavenly Tragedy Mountain exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
Including the lucky surviving Winged Snake Team, who could not afford to think of rescue at this moment, all blew apart and died.
Blood mist spread, filling the Heavenly Tragedy Mountain.
But, oddly enough, all of this turned into new nutrients, nourishing the power of the blood-colored chains.
Besides.
"Everyone!"
"Activate the formation!!"
With a loud shout and command from a Snake-man Commander, the numerous snake-man camps surrounding the base of the Heavenly Tragedy Mountain were all showing similar movements.
Apart from a few snake-men on guard, numerous elite warriors sat cross-legged, becoming part of the ritual.
In the blink of an eye, beams of light shot up into the sky, numbering in the hundreds to thousands, in various colors.
Pure white, silver-blue, frost-snow, deep brown, black-grey... precisely corresponding to the Five Great Tribes of Feng Lin, Leige, Frost, Iron Rock, and Giant Spear.
The strengths of the scattered snake-man camps thus fused, their respective barriers bursting into light, as if becoming five enormous interlinked rings.
Stimulated by this, the blood-colored chains in the sky became even more solid, nearly turning into real objects.
The angelic power within was perfectly revived, completely isolating the space where the Heavenly Tragedy Mountain was located, transforming into a circular blood prison that left no gaps.
"Success!!"
The temple Saint named Doma revealed a look of delight, and the other five Saints were somewhat excited as well.
Although the outsider was vile, he possessed strength comparable to Lie Dingshi, even approaching that of a lower-rank envoy.
But this time, the advance preparation had received the blessing and support of a true angel.
"After the perfect deployment of the blood prison, the angelic power belonging to the Lord Winged Serpent King will transform into a blood river, forming a powerful corrosion..."
"Just like entering the stomach of the Lord, even a classified angel would only be corroded into mere bones."
Doma Saint of the temple confidently said, with a smile, maintaining the integration of the great tribes’ powers with the blood-colored beam on his body.
Looking around, the tremors of sky and earth had already vanished, as if everything had been suppressed and calmed, unable to stir up the slightest ripple.
The massive blood prison, like a spatial sphere, took the place of the former natural barrier.
"It’s over..."
The five Saints rose to this thought, their feelings similar, inexplicably rising a sense of pride.
To be able to, as Saints, block and even seal an angel, this will undoubtedly be sung and praised for generations to come.
Immediately, they each made sealing gestures, planning to lead their tribespeople to complete the final wrap-up of the ritual.
However.
Boom!!
The sky and earth suddenly shook with a massive roar echoing forth.
All the smiles and inexplicable pride froze for a moment, with all eyes fixing on the blood prison high above.
The blood-colored spatial sphere, thousands of meters in size, was violently shaking, as if slammed by some prehistoric beast.
Before everyone could react, even more terrifying movements appeared.
Boom!!!
The blood prison shattered, a blinding laser beam pierced through everything, forcefully blasting a hole several meters wide.
Spurt!!
Hundreds to thousands of snake-men suffered backlash, spitting blood and collapsing.
Some couldn’t withstand it, exploding into blood mist within the camp.
"How is this possible!"
"What is this!!"
The faces of the Saints from the Five Great Tribes changed dramatically, blood streaming from all seven orifices, clothing and armor stained red.
The entire sky appeared very dim at that moment.
The laser beam, piercing thousands of meters, lingered in the sky for a few breaths before dispersing.
Forcing their eyes against the pain, they looked up, only to see a hive-like blue light rapidly rising within the gap of the blood prison.
The angelic power-formed torrential blood river surged relentlessly, corroding all things, turning the rocks, soil, bushes, and green forest on the surface of the Heavenly Tragedy Mountain into ashes.
But curiously, at the center, the hive-like blue light shield kept expanding, forcefully pushing back the corrosive blood river inch by inch, excluding it from within.
Rocky cliff faces vanished from sight, revealing black-brown alloy structures to the eyes.
Like the revival of a prehistoric beast, a gigantic pyramid resided at the center of the Blue Light Shield, floating in the high sky.
"What... what is this?"
A Snake-man was visibly shaken, his body trembling.
The Saints from the Five Great Tribes and Doma Saint of the temple all froze in their expressions, shocked and suspicious.
But before they could search their memories for an answer.
They saw the gigantic pyramid artifact, bright with light, seemingly gathering some powerful energy.
Then.
Boom!!!
Another energy beam blasted out!
