Chapter 2880 The Emperor Passes Away
The battle in the Panlong Secret Realm is still raging.
The remaining three hundred defenders returned to their previous mode, which was to launch a ranged attack on the demons in front of the city under the protection of the Panlong City Wall.
Jialoutian is working hard to heal his injuries. In addition, the divine power contained in the Order Godhood had been cleared and is being replenished very slowly, so the pressure on the defending side has been greatly reduced.
Furthermore, there are divine artifacts like the trident, and the Sea Dragon Barrier is used to alleviate the pressure on the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl.
The Sea Dragon Barrier is currently the first line of defense in the secret realm, which He Lingchuan uses to protect the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl. When the Heavenly Demon's attacks strike the barrier, it's like throwing countless boulders into the sea, causing waves to surge across its surface.
The Earth Mother's main battle stone golem did not leave the city to fight, but instead seized the precious time to gather strength and recover. In its birthplace, it could draw nourishment and power from the Dragon-Trapping Cave, though at a slower pace.
"The Sea Dragon Barrier is about to collapse." As soon as Immortal Mingke stepped onto the city wall, Ling Jinbao said to him, "Shall we go out of the city again to relieve some of the pressure on it?"
“No need.” Immortal Mingke rarely showed a smile. “I just received news that Shen Kingdom’s 20,000 cavalry have arrived outside the Dragon-Trapping Fortress, and the rest are still rushing towards it. Just then, a few immortals and demons were also about to enter the fortress, and the two sides fought a battle. As long as the Shen Kingdom’s army enters the fortress, the Earth Mother can teleport directly here!”
"The reinforcements have finally arrived!" Ling Jinbao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Twenty thousand? That should be enough to deal with the current situation, right?"
Cavalry is faster than infantry. The rest of the Shen army will take some time to arrive.
Previously, if there were only two thousand men, they would be easy prey once they stepped off the city walls—something they knew all too well. But with a force of twenty thousand, the balance of power in the battle became delicate.
To be honest, the Cangyan people didn't think much of the quality and strength of the Shen Kingdom's army.
But there are so many of them!
Many ants can kill an elephant; perhaps they can also bite and injure the Great Heavenly Demon?
After round after round of battles, the number of immortals and demons invading the Earth Mother Plain has dropped significantly, now only about twenty remain, and they have no army!
With over twenty demons facing off against an army of twenty thousand, Immortal Mingke thought that even if Shen Jun couldn't win, at least he could buy the Earth Mother more time.
In this way, both the Panlong Secret Realm and the Dafanghu can solve the immediate problem.
"You have the Emperor's token, right?" Ling Jinbao rubbed his hands together. "Time to get ready to make contact."
Before He Yue sacrificed himself, he specifically handed over command to his elder brother;
Before entering the Panlong World in seclusion, He Lingchuan gave the token to Immortal Mingke, asking him to act as a liaison to contact the Shen Kingdom's army while He Lingchuan was in seclusion.
"Come down quickly!" Mother Earth's roar echoed up the city wall, making the two of them tense.
When they reached the blessed pond in the square, the Earth Mother, who was guarding the pond, said:
"The situation in Jiuyou has worsened again."
He Lingchuan remained seated in the spring, cross-legged and motionless, just as before. But as time passed, his complexion, which had been slightly rosy due to his final moments of lucidity, turned deathly pale again.
Now, not only is his face as pale as paper, but his body is also swaying, as if he can't even sit up straight.
Seeing this, Ling Jinbao took a talisman, lit it with real fire, and placed it in front of He Lingchuan's mouth and nose.
Despite the absence of wind, the flames flickered wildly, shrinking to the size of a mung bean, as if they might go out at any moment.
Flame Core was also very weak, and its color turned bluish.
"This is terrible! The Emperor's soul is extremely weak, like a candle in the wind. I fear it could... could..." Ling Jinbao dared not finish his sentence, but everyone understood:
It could go out at any time.
His talisman can externally measure the strength of a person's soul. Since the Emperor's body remains here, his soul is naturally wandering in the Panlong World.
The Earth Mother said with a stern face, "With such a weak soul, there's a 90% chance he'll encounter danger again in the Panlong World."
Even in reality, Jiuyou is physically disabled, yet he still has to take active steps in the Panlong world. The Earth Mother can hardly imagine his situation.
Everyone was on tenterhooks for a moment, but they knew they couldn't help in any way.
They can't get into Panlong World.
Just then, the soldiers on the city wall shouted: "Sea Dragon Barrier!"
After another round of violent ripples, the Sea Dragon Barrier burst open, like a ruptured soap bubble.
No matter how strong the Sea Dragon Barrier's defenses are, it has reached its limit in the face of powerful demons, including Jia Loutian.
Next, the Panlong City Wall will face the attack of the Heavenly Demons.
Immortal Mingke immediately stood up: "I'll go and communicate with the Shen Kingdom's army!"
Even if the Shen Kingdom's army enters the Kunlong Cave, they will still need a guide, otherwise they will not be able to enter the Panlong Secret Realm.
He hurriedly left the secret realm and, through the Earth Mother's teleportation, went straight to the entrance of the Dragon-Trapping Cave.
Ling Jinbao then said to the Earth Mother, "We're going to make an appearance again."
While the Sea Dragon Barrier was in effect, they were all working hard to regulate their breathing and recover their energy. To alleviate the pressure on the city walls and buy more time for Jiuyou, they needed to go into battle now.
Just as Mother Earth was about to reply, she turned to look at He Lingchuan:
"what!"
He had been sitting cross-legged with his back straight. But during their conversation, He Lingchuan suddenly lowered his head and let out a long breath.
Mother Earth thought he was about to wake up, but immediately realized something was wrong.
Ling Jinbao was startled: "Your Majesty?"
Could it be...?
He carefully pressed He Lingchuan's shoulder, and only when he saw that He Lingchuan did not react did he dare to check his pulse.
This probing was like an electric shock, terrifying Ling Jinbao so much that his face turned pale, and his lips trembled for a few breaths before he could barely squeeze out a few words:
"The Emperor has passed away!"
He Lingchuan's condition had long been precarious, and he had even given his last words, but everyone in the secret realm still firmly believed that the Emperor would return and that the battle would turn around. After all, over the past twenty years, He Lingchuan had created too many impossible myths, always making people believe that he would return as a king.
This person's life is a true legend.
Legends eventually come to an end, but no one wants to believe it.
Not to mention Ling Jinbao, even a giant stone woman like Mother Earth, who is extremely insensitive, was stunned by this fact, her head buzzing and she couldn't think straight for a moment.
Only two thoughts swirled in each person's mind:
how come?
How to do?
Those around Jiuyou unconsciously regard him as their backbone. As long as they follow him, they will naturally have direction.
But now, their leader is gone. Everyone is at a loss.
Bao Chihai also moved over: "This, this, what do we do next?"
Now is not the time to panic, nor is there even time for grief. Ling Jinbao forced himself to calm down and first sorted out some clues: "The Emperor has passed away, so why hasn't the secret realm disappeared yet?"
“The secret realm is based on the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, not on the Emperor’s own power, so it might be able to hold on for a little longer,” Bao Chihai explained. “But now that the Emperor has passed away, it… it will soon be finished too.”
