Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1331 - 608: Luoshan Doomsday_2
According to the judgment of the Heavenly Dao, if the Golden Lotus gets damaged, this small world will unfold within the main Immortal Realm, and the evil energy here would cause fatal damage to the environment.
The power of the first lightning pillar gradually diminished.
The Blood Moon within the Golden Lotus seemed unchanged.
Sword Dance and several elders each breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to worry.
Like heavenly tribulations, heavenly punishment does not tolerate external interference; those who attempt to intervene will face equal retribution from the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, having many experts does not mean one can jointly resist heavenly tribulations and punishment.
Otherwise, those cultivators who died in the immortal tribulation would just find several True and Heavenly Immortals to hide them, eliminating any danger to their lives.
Sword Dance cursed, "Damn Heavenly Dao!"
At this moment, several surrounding elders were wounded as well, though the injuries weren't severe.
Earlier, they helped the Golden Lotus withstand the heavenly punishment when its power was not so overwhelming; now, they dare not step forward, as this is not a situation for Golden Immortals to partake in.
"Deputy Palace Master," one elder hurriedly said, "If we can't protect the senior inside the Golden Lotus, how do we explain it to the other two factions?"
"Why did this heavenly punishment arrive so peculiarly? It didn't come earlier, nor later, but precisely now and here!"
"Surely someone is scheming... Damn! Better not let me find out who's behind this dirty trick!"
The elders' curses were endless.
Sword Dance began to calm down.
There are more than ten elders of the Sword God Palace here, and even forming a sword array makes it tough to resist such a degree of heavenly punishment.
Being the Deputy Palace Master naturally entitles her to request assistance from a Da Luo Golden Immortal.
But it's not easy to mobilize a Da Luo Golden Immortal; once achieved, they have few ties to the Sword God Palace, and emotions become more indifferent, approaching the Tao.
Should she ask a Da Luo to intervene?
If Sword Dance weren't the Deputy Palace Master, holding such a Jade Talisman, she might have used it already.
But she is, so she has to consider more and care about more; her thoughts are not solely personal emotions but also the interests of the Sword God Palace.
Sword Dance gently clenched her fist, carefully watching the Blood Moon within the Golden Lotus.
She still couldn't immediately decide.
Fortunately, the Blood Moon seemed able to withstand a few more hits of heavenly punishment, so Sword Dance wasn't in a hurry to plead.
Boom boom!
Lightning once again crawled across the sky, and the second purple-black lightning pillar struck down, channeling almost all heavenly punishment power through the Golden Lotus, targeting the Blood Moon, leaving the Immortal Island other than the central Immortal Palace intact.
The precision of heavenly punishment power was unmatched.
The Blood Moon surged with evil energy, just like last time, a black-red light pillar thrust into the sky, first consuming heavenly punishment power.
Lightning and blood light clashed.
Blood light collapsed, evil energy dispersed, and the rays of lightning emitted from the pillar illuminated the entire Ancient Battlefield Small World.
After a short while, the blood light disbanded again, and the lightning pillar struck the Blood Moon.
The universe continued to tremble surrounding the Blood Moon.
Somehow, Luoshan Hermit managed to keep the Blood Moon intact against the second heavenly punishment, and the black-red light above it became more intense.
Is she merely holding on?
Sword Dance and the elders could only see the general state of the Blood Moon, unable to discern the internal situation.
Yet, Daoist Wang, hiding diagonally below the Blood Moon, could clearly sense it.
The large formation of the Blood Moon was nearly failing.
Should heavenly punishment exceed five strikes, Luoshan Hermit would face inevitable death.
However, Wang Jixuan had no intention of giving up on Luoshan Hermit just yet; he and Mu Dan had already devised some strategies.
Regardless of their effectiveness, they had to try; they couldn't simply watch as Luoshan Hermit succumbed to heavenly punishment without doing anything.
Saving Luoshan should trouble Po Luo for a long time, right?
Daoist Wang gently exhaled.
Today, he would attempt to see if mechanical civilization could resist heavenly punishment and tribulation, as after all, no matter how complex or advanced the energy, it's still energy!
Wang Jixuan's figure flickered a few hundred yards away, raising his hand to cast down a stone wall.
Then his figure continuously flickered, the Time Sword Intent trembled wildly, and eighteen stone walls were placed within a few hundred miles, releasing a vast number of Immortal Beetles.
In no time, the Immortal Beetles covered the sky.
These were the technologically outdated Immortal Beetles of that generation, so their loss here today didn't matter.
Now, they carried their mission.
To collect data.
Mu Dan needed a lot of data on heavenly punishment energy.
Wang Jixuan caused such a great disturbance that it naturally could not be hidden from those within and outside.
Luo Shan the Hermit turned her head from within the Blood Moon. Her translucent, faceless body had a rather complex gaze.
Outside, Sword Dance and a group of elders remained silent.
Suddenly, they realized that they might not have the persistence of a young man.
The Immortal Armor Bugs covered the heavens and earth with a steel wall, all energy supplying the shields, forming countless small 'umbrellas'. Tens of thousands of small umbrellas merged into one giant umbrella, blocking the Blood Moon.
It seemed as if the Heavenly Dao was infuriated. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Thunder rolled, and dark clouds grew heavier.
But Sword Dance and this group of Sword God Palace elders sharply noticed that the Heavenly Dao did not increase the power of Heavenly Punishment.
If they were within the range of Heavenly Punishment, the Heavenly Dao would immediately enhance the power of Heavenly Punishment;
Yet these mechanical bodies formed a shield to protect the target of Heavenly Punishment, and the Heavenly Dao did not increase its power?
This...
Heavenly Punishment descends again!
Thunder Light surged down, and those seemingly easily-breakable Immortal Armor Bugs and their shields persisted under the Thunder Light for two seconds.
Subsequently, the thunder pillar pierced through the shield, fiercely striking down on the Blood Moon. Most Immortal Armor Bugs fell to the ground as their energy depleted, while a small portion was directly destroyed by the Thunder Light.
Wang Jixuan waited anxiously for Mu Dan's analysis results.
Mu Dan and Shen Qionglin's voices emerged one after another in the hidden earpiece:
"This Heavenly Punishment isn't purely electric energy; in fact, electrical energy accounts for very little. The majority is a form of radiation energy that doesn't exist in cosmic space... not radiation, but similar to radiation, it's a substantial particle…"
"There's a similar to a lifeform fluctuation in the Heavenly Punishment."
"In the Heavenly Tribulation and Heavenly Punishment endured by the boss back then, the electric energy accounted for more, though there were these unknown particles, they were scarce."
"Maybe we can try particle shields."
"The density might not be enough. The energy contained in the unknown particles within the Heavenly Punishment is too much; this is a phenomenon we can't explain using physical laws."
"That's better than just watching idly."
"Agreed, we'll try multiple particle shields, but it'll have to wait until after the next Heavenly Punishment… Boss, could you come in for a bit? You might be able to transport it faster."
Wang Jixuan: Just who is the boss?
How did he end up as a mover?
A mover it is then.
Wang Jixuan's figure flickered continuously, being shielded by Time Sword Intent, he swiftly darted into a stone plate.
Seeing Wang Jixuan 'escape', Luo Shan the Hermit clearly felt relieved, yet inexplicably somewhat disappointed.
She couldn't blame Wang Jixuan, after all, this was not an opponent he could resist. Preserving strength was better than recklessly courting death.
If Wang Jixuan had thrown caution to the wind to block the Blood Moon, Luo Shan the Hermit might have been slightly moved, but she would have mostly thought this young man couldn't achieve greatness.
Leaving was… well… fine…
Hmm?
As Luo Shan the Hermit exerted all effort to drive evil qi, combating the Heavenly Tribulation, she suddenly saw Wang Jixuan emerge once more from several stone plates.
He used Time Sword Intent plus the Qiankun Shifting Technique, making it so others could practically see dozens of 'Wang Jixuan's' rushing out from the stone plates simultaneously, dropping large airships into the sky.
The airships quickly formed an array behind the Blood Moon.
And the residual images of Wang Jixuan left in the air multiplied.
The Heavenly Punishment Power was once again withstood by Luo Shan the Hermit; having endured three consecutive Heavenly Punishments, she was feeling quite strained. If it weren't for the evil qi of this world being refined by her long ago, she wouldn't have been able to hold on.
The number of airships continued to increase, each filled with mechanical bodies, busy calibrating a… a device akin to a large sieve…
Luo Shan the Hermit should have been very tense, but now she found herself more interested in Wang Jixuan and these mechanical bodies.
She began observing constantly;
Even with the fourth Heavenly Punishment crashing down, and her Blood Moon Formation's several array bases starting to crack—clearly unable to withstand the sixth Heavenly Punishment—Luo Shan the Hermit wasn't overly concerned.
After all, she had died once already.
The most important Human King Holy Body Cultivation Method and the Human King Seal had already been settled.
Instead, it was the thousands of airships surrounding the Blood Moon that now intrigued Luo Shan the Hermit more.
Will this be of any use?
The power of the fourth Heavenly Punishment was exhausted, resulting in web-like fissures appearing around the Blood Moon.
Wang Jixuan decisively commanded: "Rise!"
With his shout, the thousands of residual images below simultaneously dissipated, and six thousand hundred-meter-level airships formed a giant circle, rising at the periphery of the Blood Moon to two-thirds of its height.
The sieves simultaneously shimmered with light.
Three hundred massive particle shields appeared above the Blood Moon.
