Chapter 2837 The Secret Realm of Yellow Sand
The intervals between the regeneration of the Black Dragon Stone Sculpture and the Earth Mother's avatar are becoming increasingly longer. This means that the secret realm gate is being attacked for longer periods of time and at increasingly higher frequencies!

Tong Mingzhenjun led his men on a journey of over fifteen minutes through the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, confirming that this was indeed the vast Gobi Desert. The flying ants sent out by Yunqing Shen also failed to find any trace of architecture.
Tong Mingzhenjun also basically confirmed that this was not the Panlong Secret Realm.
We've fallen for their stalling tactic again! Just how many secret realms are there on this Earth Mother Plain?
"Search every corner," he instructed. "Every secret place must have an exit; it's just a matter of where it's hidden."
Once they've found it, they can get out.
Yunqing said in a low voice, "Heavenly Venerable, we have also been unable to contact the Hundred Battles Heavenly Venerable."
Tong Mingzhenjun said irritably, "Do you need to tell me?"
They lost contact not only with Jialoutian, but also with Baizhantian.
Tsk, I was careless.
Of course, True Lord Tongming couldn't openly admit that he had a tiny bit of regret. He and Hundred Battles Heaven both thought that the Cangyan people were no longer a threat, which was why they easily split up to act, little did they know that they had still fallen into the other side's trap.
Neither he nor Bai Zhantian liked traps that couldn't be broken or escaped directly by pure force. But he was also certain that this was just a minor incident before their destruction of Panlong City, and wouldn't change the outcome of their plan.
Because the difference in strength between the two sides is simply too great.
Just then, the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and they lost their footing.
The Heavenly Demons reacted very quickly.
Tong Mingzhenjun swung out a long whip, hooking it onto the nearest cliff and using the momentum to swing across. At the same time, he glanced down and saw that the ground he had been on had now turned into a deep ravine, pitch black and bottomless, with only the mountain wind howling upwards.
If they fall, they don't know what might be waiting for them at the bottom.
However, when they were in mid-air and had not yet climbed the cliff, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them and slammed a fist into the cliff.
It was a stone golem, unremarkable in appearance, looking no different from the countless stone golems they had smashed along the way. But it appeared alone, and was enormous, more than three times the size of an ordinary stone golem, with red light flashing in its eyes, unlike the dull-looking other stone golems.
With that punch, the cliff shattered. The demon's weapon, having lost its footing, could only plummet into the abyss.
However, Tongming Zhenjun's gravity field once again took effect, instantly turning all the Heavenly Demons into feathers, and they were instead blown upwards by the wind in the abyss.
Just as they were about to drift away from the attack range, the giant stone man appeared in front of True Monarch Tongming in the blink of an eye and unleashed dozens of heavy punches!
That was a truly violent storm.
Tongming Zhenjun couldn't even remember how many stone figures he had personally smashed, hundreds or thousands, but this one was truly different.
Sensing danger, he immediately used his agile movements to move away, but this kind of pure hand-to-hand combat was Bai Zhantian's forte, not his.
At the same time, he suddenly increased the enemy's gravity, causing the giant stone man's movements to slow down instantly.
However, he was a beat too slow and was punched in the shoulder by the other party.
With a loud bang, True Monarch Tongming was slammed into the cliff by the force of the punch, creating a crater ten feet in diameter!
If he hadn't turned his head in time, that punch would have landed on his face. Tong Mingzhenjun felt excruciating pain; his shoulder was probably broken.
Even a fully divine body couldn't withstand the opponent's heavy punch.
As he stood up, the giant stone man also got up.
When he leaped back to the ground, he examined the large stone figure closely and felt that something was wrong.
This thing's power, agility, and fighting style are completely different from the previous mass-produced items.
The giant stone figure even spoke in a gruff voice: "I've heard that True Lord Tongming is cunning, but it seems he's nothing special after all!"
The stone golems on the plains don't waste words.
Tong Mingzhenjun frowned: "What are you?"
The other person grinned and said, "You're standing on my turf, and you're asking who I am?"
Tong Mingzhenjun's expression changed:
Is that a giant stone man, or is it the Earth Mother herself? No way!
The soul of the Earth Mother is trapped in the Dream Kingdom of the Goddess of Illusionary Music, how could she possibly appear here?
Most likely, the Cangyan people summoned stone golems to impersonate the Earth Mother.
However, the giant stone man chuckled and said, "Do you really think that the mere Goddess of Illusion and the Sea Emperor Xuandu can stop me?"
The two names it uttered were accurate. Tong Mingzhenjun's heart skipped a beat:
broken!
Even if it seems impossible, there's only one answer I can think of—
The Earth Mother herself has truly escaped from the dream of the Goddess of Illusionary Music!
He couldn't help but curse inwardly: How difficult could it be to guard the soul of a simple-minded stone man? How could the Goddess of Illusion and the Sea Emperor Xuandu let him escape?
Now the ball is in Tong Mingzhenjun's court: he has no choice but to confront the local tyrant in the secret realm.
The Earth Mother also released seven or eight clones to summon other heavenly demons. The power of these stone golems was completely different from that of the previous ordinary stone golems.
If it weren't for the support of True Monarch Tongming's domain, the demons would have had a very difficult time dealing with these stone figures.
The good news, of course, is that Tong Ming Zhenjun's talent and divine status completely countered Earth Mother's. This was one of the main reasons why Lingxu Saint Venerable sent Tong Ming Zhenjun.
As expected, apart from the initial surprise attack, no matter how violent and fierce the Earth Mother's subsequent attacks were, they were severely weakened within Tong Ming Zhenjun's gravity field.
The Earth Mother's attacks are inherently based on the principle of "power and force." Without power, where would the force come from?
At this level of combat, as long as the pace is slowed down even slightly, the attacks become negligible.
Even when the Earth Mother managed to strike Tongming Zhenjun a few times, she couldn't harm him. Her fist passed right through his body, as if hitting thin air.
Perhaps, it really is just air.
During the battle, Tong Mingzhenjun's shoulder injury also healed rapidly. The Great Demon's regenerative abilities should never be underestimated.
After two rounds of fighting, True Lord Tongming gradually became familiar with its fighting style and couldn't help but laugh:
"What future do you have following Jiuyou? When the gods descend, he will surely have no way to survive. Why don't you abandon darkness and embrace the light?"
This giant stone man's talent is so precious that even the Venerable Lingxu was tempted. Otherwise, why would he have sent Jialoutian to win over Shangguan Biao in the first place?
The Earth Mother boomed, "You are enemies of the common people, just like Shangguan Biao. I am ashamed to be associated with you!"
Tong Mingzhenjun shook his head: "Even after the gods descended, there are still humans living in this world, and plants still flourish. How can you say that we are enemies of all living beings?"
Mother Earth sneered and remained silent, only launching a relentless attack.
Knowing it was no match for these demons in eloquence, it simply remained silent.
