Hearing Xi Ya's words, Hua Shen's dragon eyes were even more shocked. The Azure Dragon God Emperor, who was recognized by all races as the number one emperor, actually said in Xi Ya's words that he could not defeat her. This was simply too unbelievable.
Xi Ya rushed in like a whirlwind, her petite figure concealing astonishing power. Her arrival made the once majestic, hundred-foot-long dragon, Hua Shen, feel an unprecedented threat.
Hua Shen, the legendary true dragon, is now facing an unprecedented challenge. Although Xi Ya's body appears small compared to his, her cultivation and strength are exceptionally powerful, far exceeding his by many times, causing his dragon body to tremble involuntarily.
He attempted to retaliate with his dragon tail, a massive tail carrying destructive power that seemed capable of tearing apart any obstacle. However, Xi Ya easily blocked his attack; her hand instantly coalesced into a giant energy hand, firmly grasping Hua Shen's dragon tail.
Hua Shen struggled desperately, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from Xi Ya's restraints. Xi Ya's power was like an invisible vortex, tightly trapping him and rendering him unable to move.
Suddenly, Xi Ya raised her hand sharply, and Hua Shen felt unprecedented pressure. His body seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, and he was involuntarily thrown towards the ground.
boom…………
With a deafening crash, Hua Shen slammed heavily onto the ground. Had it not been within Xi Ya's domain, such an attack would have been enough to trigger an earthquake and tear the earth apart.
At this moment, with the arrival of Li Shanpo, the Golden-Winged Roc Armorer, a glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of everyone at the Source Gate.
"Golden Judgment Cannon, rapid fire, precision strike." Upon arriving, Li Shanpo discovered the afterimage on Gaobai Mountain. He was instantly filled with rage. His wings transformed into countless cannon barrels in an instant. Energy gathered on his body, and in the next second, countless beams of light shot out, each one precisely striking the giant beast.
"Commander Li, has the Hammer of Annihilation been brought?" Gu Yu flew towards Li Shanpo, and at the same time, Huangfu Kui also flew towards Li Shanpo.
“I brought it.” Li Shanpo nodded, and then a five-meter-tall, one-meter-diameter, dark gold object resembling a large missile appeared.
"Does this thing really have such great power?" Gu Yu looked at the World-Destroying Hammer in front of him, somewhat incredulous.
“If the inferences from the data are correct, then this thing exists,” Li Shanpo said.
"How do we launch it?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the Hammer of Annihilation.
“This…” Li Shanpo hesitated for a moment when he heard Gu Yu’s question.
"Hmm?" Gu Yu noticed Li Shanpo's hesitation and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"This thing can't be launched because its power is theoretically enough to destroy the Earth, so there's no need for a launcher. It's used for deterrence," Li Shanpo explained.
"Without a launcher, then..." Hearing Li Shanpo's explanation, Gu Yu's head immediately throbbed. Without a launcher, someone would need to bring the Hammer of Annihilation into the Source Gate world. The key question was, who could fly to the three-headed Mandora's side and detonate the Hammer of Annihilation? The most troublesome thing now was that if they had just entered the Source Gate, or hadn't even entered yet, and were attacked by the three-headed Mandora midway, that would be a very tragic end. The three-headed Mandora's attack was enough to detonate the Hammer of Annihilation. If that thing was really that powerful, what would become of it?
“I will bring the Hammer of Annihilation into the Source Gate World! I am fast enough, and it would be best to detonate the Hammer of Annihilation next to the three-headed Mandora, as the center of the explosion will have the strongest attack power,” Li Shanpo said proactively.
"Your speed is indeed fast, but can you outrun the three-headed Mandora?" Huangfu Kui frowned and said. His thoughts were the same as Gu Yu's. Li Shanpo's speed was fast, but could he outrun a true god? You must know that a true god possesses a domain. "No matter how fast you are, you will be unable to move when you are enveloped by the domain, so this won't work. None of us can do it."
"What should we do then?" The group was once again caught in a dilemma. No matter who it was, it would be difficult to bring the Hammer of Annihilation into the side of the three-headed Mandora in the Source Gate World. Moreover, no matter who went, they would definitely not be able to come back. Not to mention the three-headed Mandora, even a True God would die if the Hammer of Annihilation were to explode, let alone the few of them who were at the Emperor Realm.
"Perhaps I can give it a try," Gu Yu said. He hesitated for a while, after all, the risk was extremely high, but now, apart from him, probably no one else could do it.
"You?" Huangfu Kui and Li Shanpo looked at Gu Yu. "Gu Yu, although we don't know why you have such strong combat power, with your cultivation level, I'm afraid..."
“I have an array plate, one of which is called Ten Directions Shift, which can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant. Moreover, I have a way to temporarily break free from the constraints of my domain, so I am the most suitable candidate,” Gu Yu said, looking at the two of them.
"Travel thousands of miles in an instant? Break free from the domain's constraints in a short time?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Li Shanpo and Huangfu Kui were immediately startled. They exchanged glances and realized that Gu Yu was indeed the most suitable candidate.
“Gu Yu, although you have such abilities, you know how powerful those three-headed Mandora are. If anything goes wrong, you will die inside. You…” Li Shanpo said, looking at Gu Yu. In his eyes, Gu Yu was already comparable to them. He would definitely be a pillar of China in the future, and there was a great chance that he would break through to become a true god. He was a future true god! So he would rather it was him who died, but he couldn’t do it.
“I know, but at this moment, we must do it, and we must be absolutely certain of success. Only success is allowed; failure is not an option,” Gu Yu said. He was selfish by nature, but at this moment, he had to step forward. The Source Gate had fallen, the giant beasts had invaded, and the three-headed Mandora had escaped. That would be a catastrophe for the world. He could run away, but what about his family, his friends, his comrades-in-arms, his friends’ families, and his friends’ comrades-in-arms?
"Sigh!" Huangfu Kui sighed. He had never felt so incompetent as to have to send a young man, a young man with great potential.
"Time is of the essence. Tell me quickly how to detonate the Doomsday Hammer," Gu Yu asked Li Shanpo. Although Gu Yu had a hundred years of memories, he knew nothing about this high-tech weapon.
“The Doomsday Hammer only needs to be activated. After a three-minute countdown, it will automatically detonate, and there is no way to stop it,” Li Shanpo explained.
"Okay!" Gu Yu nodded. That was fine too, it was simple.
“I’ll activate it now, because its power is immense. When it was made, the combination lock was designed to be extremely complex, and its complexity and security are at the forefront of the world’s technology. It uses multi-layered encryption technology, combined with advanced technologies such as biometrics and quantum encryption.” Li Shanpo said as he started activating it. After about five minutes, a countdown appeared on the Doomsday Hammer: 180 seconds, 179 seconds.
Upon seeing the countdown numbers, Gu Yu raised the Hammer of Annihilation and then looked toward the Source Gate.
"I'll definitely make it in time," Gu Yu thought to himself. He knew where the three-headed Mandora was located, and moving it there wouldn't be a problem.
The God-Slaying Array Plate appeared in his hand, with four top-grade source stones on it. After operating the Yin-Yang Amplification Array for a long time, one of them had been used up. The Ten Directions Shifting Array on the God-Slaying Array Plate immediately started operating, and Gu Yu's figure disappeared in an instant.
"It really was teleportation. That array plate in his hand is probably a divine artifact," Li Shanpo said, looking at the vanished Gu Yu.
"I hope he can return safely. Perhaps if he reaches the King Realm, he might be able to fight a demigod. With the array plate in his hand, killing a demigod would not be a problem. At that time, a young powerhouse will appear in China." Huangfu Kui said, "Perhaps in less than a hundred years, he will very likely reach the God Realm. At that time, China will also be more secure."
“Yes! And his character is impeccable; he is selfless and dedicated to the country and its people,” Li Shanpo said. “I hope he can return safely.”
"Sigh! I wonder how things are going with Hua Shen and the Four Guardians?" Huangfu Kui said.
"By the way, tell our people to retreat quickly. If the power of the Doomsday Hammer is as predicted, its energy might burst out, and then we'll be in danger," Li Shanpo said.
"Prepare to evacuate." Upon hearing Li Shanpo's words, Huangfu Kui immediately said.
At this moment, Gu Yu had arrived beside the three-headed Mandora, and the powerful pressure made his body go limp.
"Human, you actually came to my door on your own initiative, hehe..." The voice of the three-headed Mandora rang out, its deafening sound causing Gu Yu to feel a headache coming on, as if his head was about to explode.
"Ten Directions Shift." Gu Yu threw down the World-Destroying Hammer and was about to use the Ten Directions Shift to escape.
"Trying to run? The thing in your hand is indeed magical, but it's no match for me." Suddenly, countless black lightning bolts enveloped Gu Yu. Gu Yu was about to use the Ten Directions Shift technique to leave, but he found that he couldn't move away. The space around him was sealed off, and he couldn't use any escape techniques. This made his expression change drastically.
Putting aside whether the explosion of the Doomsday Hammer could kill him, the three-headed Mandora in front of him was enough to kill him a hundred times over.
"Human, I'm curious, how come you are not affected by my domain?" The three heads of the three-headed Mandora looked at Gu Yu, sizing him up. Gu Yu appeared extremely small in front of its hundred-foot-tall body.
"Three-headed Mandora, your death is near," Gu Yu said, enduring the oppressive aura.
“Hahaha…” Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, the three heads of the three-headed Mandora laughed maniacally. “Are you joking with this god? Even a Heavenly King would find it difficult to kill this god, let alone a mere guy like you who relies on a divine artifact.”
“I can’t kill you, but the Hammer of Annihilation can,” Gu Yu said, looking at the arrogant appearance of the three-headed Mandora.
"The Hammer of Annihilation?" The three-headed Mandora was stunned for a moment, then one of its dragon heads moved, and the Hammer of Annihilation suddenly floated into the air. "Hahaha..."
The three-headed Mandora looked at the Hammer of Annihilation, and suddenly burst into maniacal laughter again, "This thing can kill me, a god-king?"
101 seconds... 100 seconds...
Looking at the countdown on the Doomsday Hammer, Gu Yu felt a chill in his heart, but he was helpless. He wanted to run but couldn't. He was anxious and felt terrible, his body trembling. But he could only continue, "That's right, it's this thing. It's enough to kill you, no, even a hundred of you."
"Humans, it's not that I look down on this little thing, but it can't even take down a peak Emperor Realm cultivator, let alone me!" the three-headed Mandora said, clearly mistaking the Doomsday Hammer in front of it for a new type of nuclear bomb it had seen before. "Humans, you're really funny. You never liked cultivating before, and you always messed around with weird and strange things. If it weren't for that old guy, Ancestor of Humanity, and the protection of the Dragon Clan, humanity would have been wiped out long ago."
"This thing is enough to kill you. If you don't believe me, you can try it." Gu Yu said to the arrogant three-headed Mandora. As for whether the Doomsday Hammer could kill the three-headed Mandora, Gu Yu had no idea. After all, this thing was just theoretical deduction and there was no real experimental data.
“Human, I see a lack of confidence in your eyes. You are obviously lying,” said the three-headed Mandora. “Tell me first why you are unaffected by my domain. Although I am only a God-King, the strength of my domain is even greater than that of some Heavenly Kings.”
“Because I am not human,” Gu Yu said.
33 seconds... 32 seconds...
Looking at the countdown on the Hammer of Annihilation, Gu Yu felt extremely panicked. It was like the countdown to the end of his own life. To be honest, he was conflicted. He hoped that the power of the Hammer of Annihilation wouldn't be that great, but at the same time, he also hoped that it would be.
"What does this have to do with whether you're human or not?" The three-headed Mandora was taken aback.
"Because I am a god or demon, I am not affected by the domain." At this moment, Gu Yu was under the pressure, and the power in his body was instantly transformed into the power of a god or demon.
"The power of gods and demons, it really is the power of gods and demons." Sensing the power of gods and demons on Gu Yu, the six large eyes of the three-headed Mandora widened in shock.
"Are you a god or demon? How can you be so weak? This is impossible!"
In fact, it sensed Gu Yu's aura from the moment Gu Yu ignored its domain, but it was not sure.
7 seconds...6 seconds...
"Telling you won't help, because you're about to die." Gu Yu looked at the energy countdown on the Doomsday Hammer, his heart filled with despair.
“Even if you are a god or demon, your divine and demonic power is not enough to kill me,” said the three-headed Mandora.
"Godslayer Array, Yin-Yang Amplification Array, Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array, Six Harmonies Overlord Array, Origin Weapon... Blade Nurturing Technique, Eight Directions Heaven-Piercing Cover!" Gu Yu shouted loudly in an instant, because the Doomsday Hammer was showing 1 second at that moment, which proved that the thing was about to explode.
The power of the Ten Directions Shift could not move him, so he could only defend, and he used all the defensive methods he could.
He even took out that big black sword. The tooth decayer said that this thing was an ancestral artifact, a weapon of the dead. Although Gu Yu couldn't use it, he should be able to use it as a shield now.
"Huh?" The three-headed Mandora was taken aback when she saw Gu Yu suddenly enveloped in a lot of energy. The God-Slaying Array was coiled above Gu Yu's head. At this moment, three great arrays on it were operating, firmly protecting Gu Yu inside. Next, there were countless powerful sword energies, followed by five black source soldiers. They protected Gu Yu inside. Then, Gu Yu's hands gripped the big black sword and held it in front of him, which looked quite comical.
beep…………
Just then, the countdown on the Doomsday Hammer turned to 0 seconds and made a loud noise, but then there was no more sound.
"You really think this thing can kill me, the God-King?" The three-headed Mandora looked at the Doomsday Hammer, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Besides, it seems to be broken, hahaha..."
Gu Yu's gaze also fell on the Hammer of Annihilation. After the countdown ended, it made a sound and then went silent. Could it have been a dud?
"Holy crap?" Gu Yu felt an urge to curse. This thing had never been tested in real experiments; its power was all deduced from theory. To put it bluntly, it was just theoretical speculation, and it could very well be a dud.
The thought of risking his life to bring this thing to the side of the three-headed Mandora, even prepared to die together with her, only to find out it was a dud bomb—good heavens! This is no joke! He now wants to arrest the old guys who created this thing.
"Strange, three minutes have passed, why hasn't Gu Yu come out yet, and the Hammer of Annihilation doesn't seem to have exploded? What happened?" Li Shanpo and Huangfu Kui outside were equally puzzled.
"Haha..." The three-headed Mandora burst into laughter.
But just as he was laughing, the silent hammer of destruction suddenly moved.
puff…………
He let out a farting sound, and upon hearing it, Gu Yu's heart sank completely. Although he would definitely die if the Hammer of Annihilation exploded, he would rather die in the explosion of the Hammer of Annihilation than die at the hands of the three-headed Mandora.
The sound seemed familiar. When Gu Yu was little, he liked to play with firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. Some of those firecrackers were like that, making a sound similar to farting, and then they would go silent.
Of course, cannons are magical. Sometimes they don't go off for a long time, and Gu Yu thinks they're malfunctioning, so he crawls over to check them. Then suddenly the cannon goes off. He remembers the worst time when it blew up Gu Yu's chin.
"Hahaha..." Hearing this sound, which was just like farting, the three-headed Mandora laughed again, its laughter full of sarcasm.
Even if this thing just exploded, it wouldn't have exploded. Thinking about Gu Yu's expression, it's so funny.
"Humans, no, gods and demons, are you here to be funny? You humans are making this god-king laugh to death, hahaha..." the three-headed Mandora said, but for a moment, he suddenly froze.
The Doomsday Hammer suddenly trembled, and waves of terrifying energy emanated from it.
Gu Yu was also taken aback. Could this be the second type of cannon he encountered when he was a child, which would not explode for a long time, but would explode as soon as he went over to take a look?
