Chapter 490 This time I have to jump out of my comfort zone

"That's impossible!"

The Wanxiang Battle Shield, which had always been known for its steadiness and could remain calm even when Wuling Mountain collapsed, began to "roar" as if it was collapsing.

Its mental fluctuations became extremely chaotic the moment its defense was penetrated, even more chaotic than a ball of yarn played with by a cat, almost insane.

It’s not that it can’t accept it.

Anyone who saw this would probably go crazy.

It's not too uncommon for a fist to suddenly turn into a living dog's head.

Whether it is biological grafting technology or some strange soul-related secret methods, it can be done.

But it is simply a fantasy that this sudden dog head can bite through the law-level defense in one bite!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could his invincible defense be bitten to pieces by a dog?

Even the Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron, which is at the half-step celestial level, has never completely penetrated his defense!

It’s fake, it must be fake!

After the Wanxiang War Shield was broken both physically and mentally, the entire divine weapon entered a state of doubting life, falling madly on the broken ground, motionless as if dead.

The external spiritual reflection turns into a storm that keeps howling.

The Wanxiang Formation, which had been able to hold on for a while, completely collapsed, losing all its power, let alone blocking this space and preventing the man and the cat from forcibly leaving the battlefield after being intercepted.

"Almost."

Xiaobao glanced at the pillar supporting the ascension platform, and a trace of fear and worry flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean almost done?" Lu Wenwu was confused.

Maomao had already shrunk back into his body, along with the piece of fragment that was forcibly bitten off from the Tianxuan battle shield and a lot of origin.

The great art of eating gods was operating on its own. The gift from the way of heaven in this world was constantly broken down by the unreasonable and powerful force, and turned into streams of heat that were injected into the cells that were slightly depleted due to the fierce battle.

Waves of heavy blood-colored steam mixed with the demonic energy of the abyss rose up, and the aura carried by Lu Wenwu became a little heavier.

"Are you ready to take down all these guys? I'm completely prepared!"

Lu Wenwu's tone rose slightly, and there was a hint of covetousness in his eyes as he swept across the Tianxuan Battle Shield.

Just now, after he refined that piece of fragment and the origin, the purity increased slightly, but not too much, and the increase in the degree of control over the new laws was basically negligible.

But that doesn't matter.

After practicing the "Divine Weapon Body Cultivation Method", he was extremely surprised to find that his body's defense had increased significantly again, directly increasing by a lot!

With his current physical defense, it would be difficult for the Hidden Dragon Thorn to break through the defense of the dragon scales on his body.

This discovery directly led to a significant increase in Lu Wenwu's desire to devour artifact-level magic weapons.

These magical weapons seemed to be born for the purpose of cultivating the magical weapon body. Not only could they become very rich experience packages when swallowed, they also contained fragments of the laws of heaven.

Lu Wenwu even suspected that these magical weapons might be the property left by the God of Weapon Refining for his successor.

I just don't know what the real devil did to cause it to become the horrible state it is today.

"Take it down! You're talking like we can actually fight each other!"

Xiaobao gave Lu Wenwu a cold look, and slapped down with the pads of his mighty cat paws, sticking a bright yellow talisman on his body, and spit out another one from his mouth.

Before Lu Wenwu could ask, the talisman burst out with a blazing silver light.

The man and the cat disappeared here so suddenly, leaving only the Wanxiang War Shield lying dead on the ground with a severely damaged soul, and the remaining six divine weapons looking at each other in bewilderment.

The other party just ran away like that!?

No, buddy, if you have this stuff, why don’t you take it out and leave? Why are you risking your life with us?

The divine soldiers expressed their incomprehension.

Especially the Tianxuan Treasure Cauldron.

If it had a human face, it would be as black as the bottom of a pot by now.

The methods of the extraterritorial demon were far beyond its expectations.

This battle, with formations and ambushes arranged in advance, should have been a sure-win situation, and there were even two unexpected fighters who came to help.

This didn't keep them.

Looking at the completely collapsed Wuling Mountain, Tianxuan Baoding couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

This is a big trouble.

"Shit shoveler, we're in big trouble!"

Tens of thousands of miles away, Xiaobao and Lu Wenwu suddenly appeared and appeared on the top of a mountain.

"Wait, wait, there's no rush for this."

Lu Wenwu looked at Xiaobao, who had turned back into his original form, with a slightly strange expression.

"No, I don't quite understand. If the three of us combined can't defeat them, then why didn't we use this amazing weapon that can instantly teleport tens of thousands of miles away?"

"You're so stupid! Sooner or later, I'll make you faint from anger!"

Xiaobao angrily gave him a claw, with a look of strong disgust in his eyes.

"Information, information! Setting aside the value of the Fifty Thousand Mile Great Teleportation Talisman, if you want to sweep across the continent, shouldn't you first understand the enemy's capabilities and strength? We're at a disadvantage, but instead of gathering information and dividing and defeating these divine soldiers at the lowest cost, you're still thinking of just going 1v12 and killing them all?"

Lu Wenwu's slightly unconvinced demeanor suddenly weakened, and his voice sounded a little guilty.

"No, isn't it?"

"Okay, your grandma's banana-shaped geoduck legs, okay!"

Hearing Lu Wenwu's question, Xiaobao couldn't hold it back anymore, and his round little cat face became a little distorted.

"If these were twelve normal, peak-level second-order Ascension Gods, I would definitely not stop you from fighting. You wouldn't die anyway."

"But the situation this time is different. The enemy is a divine weapon that carries the laws of heaven. Fighting them is equivalent to fighting against the world itself. The Merit Wheel is useless. Why would you fight?"

"Is it really that serious?"

Seeing that Xiaobao didn't seem to be joking, Lu Wenwu put away his teasing smile and his expression became more serious.

"Very serious."

Xiaobao sighed.

"You only exchanged a few moves with them, and the Merit Wheel weakened you. The main pressure has always been on me, so the power you were suppressed by wasn't noticeable."

"If the opponents were reversed, after a hundred moves or so, you would begin to feel the suppression and repulsion from heaven and earth. Even the flow of your cultivation would become stagnant, and it would be very uncomfortable."

"I was only able to partially offset this by relying on my status to suppress the divine weapon. If it were an ordinary peak-level second-level Ascension God, they wouldn't even have the energy to fight back and would be crushed to death in a single blow."

“Specifically.”

The Merit Wheel is not omnipotent in offsetting the suppression of heaven and earth.

To put it simply, the merit wheel is equivalent to an identity card.

Normally, when people from outside the domain descend into a world that is not their native land, the world's will will reject them to a certain extent, regardless of their level of cultivation.

It's like a game, with the referee being from the same country as him on one side and the opponent from the same enemy country with whom he has a deep hatred.

No matter how fair the referee is, he will subconsciously favor his own countrymen in his decisions and be stricter with players from the enemy country.

Double standards are human nature.

The best that referee Tiandao can do is to avoid making unfair calls, and that is already his limit.

Possessing the Wheel of Merit is equivalent to disguising yourself as a native creature, which is equivalent to a civil war among family members from the same place. The referee, Heavenly Dao, will naturally make a fair judgment without helping either side.

But the current situation is that the magic weapon can trigger some of the laws of nature.

Once the divine weapons at the artifact level unite and draw on the way of heaven at the same time, they can directly gather the power of the entire world and use part of it for defense and offense.

What does this equate to?

It's equivalent to not only the referee blowing the whistle frequently, but also occasionally having to go on the field and play himself.

You go off the field and make the decision yourself, what a joke!

It's like a boxing match. You think you are going to fight Tyson, but then an Emperor Titan comes and says he will fight with Ultraman Taro who is the referee.

In this case, it cannot be said that the merit wheel is completely useless, but it can be said that it is indeed not very useful.

The Heavenly Dao is determined to do something bad to you and let you see that the Black S can fly directly. Even if you are the Heavenly Dao's father, you can't do anything to him.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Suppression triggered by the combined efforts of numerous divine weapons, the outcome of this battle would definitely not have been so tragic.

Who isn’t a genius who can fight across levels?

Under fair circumstances, even if a true third-level god came, Xiaobao could compete with him.

When one reaches the peak of the second level of godhood, killing is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

For someone who can cultivate to the point of half-step ascension in the Dharma Ending Age and become a top-level genius in the Age of Spiritual Energy Revival, being invincible at the same level is a basic operation.

If there were no suppression from the world's power, it would be an easy victory.

Even if all the holy artifacts and divine artifacts join forces, Xiaobao has enough confidence to work with Lu Wenwu and Maomao to break through them.

Unfortunately, there is no such “if”.

"So, do you understand? One by itself is nothing, two is barely enough, but once the number of divine weapons combined exceeds three, the suppression of the Heavenly Dao will become extremely troublesome. This will increase exponentially."

Xiaobao spread out his little paws helplessly and couldn't help grinding his teeth.

"If it's one-on-one without the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, even that bronze tripod that's halfway to becoming a god at the third level is nothing but rotten fish. I can use one of its claws to hang it up and beat it."

"Even if there's a Heavenly Dao suppressing us in a one-on-one match, I can definitely win if I give myself time. It's obvious that Bronze Ding has played too many games with weak opponents and favorable situations. He lacks experience facing opponents of our level, so he's not to be feared."

"So, your plan to flatten the entire continent is very troublesome. Very troublesome."

"I see." Lu Wenwu nodded slightly.

He is just too lazy to use his brain, not stupid.

Xiaobao emphasized the interests involved so carefully, so he naturally would not turn a deaf ear to it.

This is the good thing about him, he is good at listening to advice.

"But the trouble I originally wanted to talk about wasn't actually the union of the divine weapons."

"These divine weapons need to regularly absorb qi and blood and offer sacrifices to humans. There will always be a time to separate them. We just need to find an opportunity."

Xiaobao took out a cushion from somewhere and put it under him. He lay comfortably on it with his soft, furry body, and it didn't look like he had just experienced a big battle.

Its recovery speed was also extremely amazing. The previously burnt hair and bloodstains were no longer visible.

Maomao also separated from Lu Wenwu's body, turned into a little puppy and squeezed side by side with Xiaobao.

Xiao Bao disdainfully pushed the dog that was trying to fill him up, and continued, "Do you still remember the pillar that appeared when Wuling Mountain collapsed? And when you ran out of the inheritance space, you collapsed a corner of a hidden space."

"Now that you put it that way, it seems like that's indeed the case."

Lu Wenwu recalled briefly.

"I originally thought it was another layer of the inheritance space of the nesting dolls, but the energy leaking out of it...how should I put it? It makes me feel very evil, just like a copy space I've experienced before."

What Lu Wenwu was talking about was naturally the small world in the previous [Bloody Immortal Road] copy, which was broken through by the True Demon Queen and then sealed.

But the smell leaking out from here is many times stronger than that place.

"Was it the real devil who did it?" Lu Wenwu couldn't help but ask.

"Nine out of ten," Xiaobao nodded. "The inscription on that pillar is part of a formation that transports some kind of substance. If I'm not mistaken, it should be an extremely famous formation—the Final Return Formation."

"What is that?" Lu Wenwu looked confused.

"This thing has another name. You know what it's called. Your eyes should be able to tell." Xiaobao's face darkened slightly. "Heaven and Earth Bridge!"

Xiao Bao knew that Lu Wenwu still didn't understand, so he explained directly: "This is a method used by the True Demon Camp to completely destroy the world. The Final Return Formation will continuously transmit a special substance to continuously infect the entire world."

"During the infection process, everything in this world will gradually transform towards the True Demon camp, and the world's essence will be continuously extracted, causing the world's level to continuously decline and become increasingly fragile."

"Aren't you curious about why this world is gradually entering the Age of the Dharma Ending? This is the reason. The Final Return Formation has extracted the essence of the world and used it to give rise to the Ancient Return Tree."

"The moment the ancient tree in Dangguixu is fully grown, it will instantly extract everything from this world, draining and destroying the entire world, thereby giving birth to a fruit with great power - the True Demon Seed."

"True Demon Seed?" Lu Wenwu immediately realized that he had seen this thing before. "Isn't that the thing in the body of that bald donkey I killed before?"

"Exactly."

Xiaobao agreed to this.

"But the one in that bald ass' body is very low-grade. It's probably bred in the most ordinary world. Apart from directly degenerating people into minions of the True Devil, it has basically no effect. The small improvement can be ignored."

"If we plant the Guixu Ancient Tree in this world that once gave birth to a peak third-order god, the True Demon Seed it cultivates, once refined, will corrupt even true immortals and gods. Ordinary practitioners will not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching immortality after consuming it."

"The True Demon Seed's main function is only for my two brothers. First, it significantly improves their comprehension and strength, making it as easy to comprehend the laws as eating and drinking water, and increasing their cultivation speed by a thousand times. Second, it forces people to degenerate into minions of the True Demon."

"Why does it sound a bit like the fruit of the sacred tree planted by the Otsutsuki in Naruto?" Lu Wenwu's expression became strange again. "It means that no one can reach the sky overnight."

Xiaobao nodded. "It's pretty much the same. One is just giving a man a fish, while the other is teaching him how to fish and forcing him to switch sides. Basically, there won't be useless people like the Otsutsuki who only have cultivation."
