Bai Qi's primordial spirit pressed its advantage, his spear slashing like a serpent, relentlessly stabbing at the giant beast. Countless bloody holes appeared on the beast's body, causing it to scream in agony, but it had no chance to retaliate and could only retreat step by step until it finally returned to the Source Gate.
Seeing the giant beast retreating back into the Source Gate, Huangfu Kui hesitated for a moment. In the end, he did not choose to enter the Source Gate, but shouted into it, "Those who are alive, come out quickly! We will guard the entrance from the outside."
Upon hearing Huangfu Kui's voice, five or six figures rushed out from the source gate. At this moment, they were covered in wounds and were already seriously injured.
Behind them, a giant beast suddenly charged out. Bai Qi's primordial spirit behind Huangfu Kui suddenly gathered power and thrust out with his spear. The giant beast, which had just come out and poked out half its head, was directly pierced and then flew back.
This is a pretty good method. The source gate is indeed quite large, but unfortunately the behemoth is just too big. Only one behemoth can pass through the hundred-meter-wide source gate at a time, and with Huangfu Kui guarding the gate, it is very difficult for the behemoth to break through.
For a moment, the giant beasts inside the Source Gate looked at the Source Gate and fell into deep thought. Huangfu Kui was too strong. As soon as they showed their heads, they would be stabbed back by a spear. It would be one thing if they were stabbed back, but they would also have a bloody hole in their bodies.
The situation on the human side has temporarily eased, but Li Shanpo, Huangfu Kui, and the many warriors are not happy. The reason is simple: Huangfu Kui cannot maintain this posture for long, as the consumption of energy is very severe.
Just then, a plane suddenly flew in. It was the plane that Gu Yu and the others were on. Before the plane even landed, everyone on board was taken off.
"Commander Li, how is it?" Gu Yu asked, looking at Li Shanpo, whose whole body looked so pale.
"I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long. At most, he'll run out of source energy in two hours," Li Shanpo said.
"Two hours?" Gu Yu frowned. "What about the Four Guardians and Hua Shen? Aren't they coming to help?" Gu Yu asked Li Shanpo. In this situation, their arrival would be a great help.
"Alas! They can't come. They're currently engaged in a decisive battle with the Holy Mountain," Li Shanpo said.
"A decisive battle with the Holy Mountain?" Gu Yu's brows furrowed suddenly. A decisive battle? The Holy Mountain also had True Gods and twelve Star Emperors at the peak of the Emperor Realm. Even if the Four Guardians and the God of China were powerful, there was still a high chance of defeat. If they were defeated, it would be a huge disaster for China. If the Northeast Source Gate fell, the entire China would be in mortal danger.
This is a matter of great importance! Therefore, they must guard the Southwest Source Gate.
"Commander Li, are you injured?" Gu Yu asked, looking at Li Shanpo, whose body was dull and whose aura had greatly diminished. But how could he be injured with the defensive power of the Golden-Winged Roc Armor? Even if a demigod made a move, Li Shanpo would at most be no match for him. It would be difficult to injure him, considering that this guy's speed was also astonishing.
The saying "The roc rises with the wind and soars ninety thousand miles high" is no exaggeration. Although the Golden-Winged Roc Armor is not a real Golden-Winged Roc, it has some of the characteristics of the Golden-Winged Roc, even if it is only one-tenth of them, it is enough.
"Sigh! We've run out of Originium and no more energy," Li Shanpo said helplessly. Each time his countless cannons were fired in unison, and with the continuous firing, the consumption of Originium was enormous.
"No more Originium?" Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard Li Shanpo's words. If he were injured, it would be difficult to deal with, but if he didn't have Originium, it was too simple. What did Gu Yu lack the least these days? It was Originium. He alone could be richer than a country.
"Yes! If you hadn't given me 30,000 yuan before, the Golden-Winged Roc Armor's energy would have been exhausted long ago," Li Shanpo said helplessly.
“Commander Li, Originium is not a problem.” Gu Yu said, and immediately took out 200,000 high-grade Originium. “Commander Li, take this and replenish the energy of your Golden-Winged Roc Armor.”
"So many Origin Stones?" Li Shanpo was stunned when he saw the Origin Stones that Gu Yu took out. To be honest, Li Shanpo, relying on the Golden-Winged Roc Armor, was a top-tier existence among humans, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a huge amount of Origin Stones.
“Commander Li, take this first. Guarding the Source Gate is the most important thing. If it’s not enough, I have more.” Gu Yu said to the shocked Li Shanpo.
"Alright!" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Li Shanpo immediately snapped out of his shock. The most urgent task was to guard the Source Gate; everything else was secondary. He instantly stored the 200,000 high-grade source stones that Gu Yu had taken out into his storage tool, which happened to be the energy supply pool of the Golden-Winged Roc Armor.
As he placed 200,000 high-grade source stones into the energy supply pool, the Golden-Winged Roc Armor, which had been dull, suddenly shone with golden light again. With a swift movement, it headed straight for the source gate.
"Huangfu Kui, you go and rest first. Let me take over and guard for a while. I have plenty of energy right now." The wings of the Golden-Winged Roc Armor instantly transformed into countless densely packed cannons, pointing towards the direction of the Source Gate.
"How did you recover your energy?" Huangfu Kui was suddenly stunned when he saw Li Shanpo radiating golden light and full of energy. Just a moment ago, this guy was lifeless. How did he recover in such a short time? You know, the country doesn't have that many source stones to give Li Shanpo. Moreover, although he called for reinforcements, the reinforcements haven't arrived yet!
"They were all given to me by Gu Yu, haha... This kid is practically a reincarnation of a lucky star," Li Shanpo explained.
"Gu Yu? It's Gu Yu again?" Huangfu Kui was stunned. Last time at the Southwest Source Gate, Gu Yu obtained a large number of high-grade source stones. Moreover, if it weren't for Gu Yu's high-grade source stones and formations, they would probably be facing not only the Northeast Source Gate but also the Southwest Source Gate. "Where did this kid get so many source stones? Weren't all his source stones stolen by that old bastard Mo Shougui?"
However, he didn't have time to think about these things at this moment. With the energy back, Li Shanpo was indeed able to relax. He withdrew Bai Qi's primordial spirit and retreated instantly, while Li Shanpo took his place.
Huangfu Kui glanced behind him and immediately saw Gu Yu floating in the air. He moved swiftly and appeared beside Gu Yu.
“Gu Yu, you’re out of source stones. I’m severely depleted. If I had some high-grade source stones, I could recover faster,” Huangfu Kui said.
"Yes." Gu Yu didn't waste time with Huangfu Kui. At this moment, what did a few source stones matter? As long as the source gate could be guarded, everything else was negotiable.
Besides, giving them the source stones isn't a free lunch! Gu Yu will gain contribution points. Without saying a word, Gu Yu instantly took out another 100,000 high-grade source stones.
"Holy crap." Seeing Gu Yu casually take out 100,000 high-grade source stones, Huangfu Kui was equally shocked and immediately cursed. With a wave of his hand, he immediately put the source stones into his storage space. "You brat, didn't you get robbed by that old bastard Mo Shougui last time?"
"No, Commander Huangfu, the source stones from last time were really stolen by Mo Shougui. These source stones are what I obtained from Kunlun Source Gate this time." Gu Yu hurriedly explained. He would rather die than admit that he wasn't robbed by Mo Shougui last time.
"Obtained from Kunlun Source Gate?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Huangfu Kui was stunned. Although there were source stones in Kunlun Source Gate, the Qi family's mining teams had already gone in dozens of times, and the total amount of high-grade source stones they obtained probably didn't even add up to ten thousand. Gu Yu had only gone in once, yet he obtained so many... This...
"Commander Huangfu, I only obtained so much because of a stroke of luck," Gu Yu said hastily when he saw Huangfu Kui looking at him with disbelief.
"Gu Yu, why don't you skip the Dragon Division and come to my military headquarters? I'll make you the deputy commander-in-chief directly, what do you think?" Huangfu Kui said. In his eyes, Gu Yu was a cash cow! He could get hundreds of thousands of source stones from a trip to the Southwest Source Gate, and he also got hundreds of thousands of source stones from a trip to the Kunlun Source Gate. What else could he be but a cash cow?
"Commander Huangfu, please stop joking. The most urgent task is to defend the Northeast Yuanmen," Gu Yu said. It wasn't that he refused, but judging from Huangfu Kui's eyes, he knew that this guy probably saw him as a cash cow.
"Hmm!" Huangfu Kui nodded. Gu Yu was right. The most urgent task was to defend the Northeast Source Gate. However, he looked at Gu Yu again and said, "Think it over carefully."
“Okay!” Gu Yu nodded.
"Did you guys get any Origin Stones? Could you give me some too? I wonder how long we'll have to hold out at the Northeast Origin Gate?" Huangfu Kui looked at the others. Gu Yu had obtained such a huge amount of Origin Stones from the Kunlun Origin Gate, and the people behind him had also returned from the Kunlun Origin Gate, so they should have gotten some as well! Of course, this was just his opinion.
Upon hearing Huangfu Kui's words, everyone immediately lowered their heads. It wasn't that they were unwilling to contribute; rather, they were simply short of money.
"Forget it, look at you all, you look like misers." Huangfu Kui said unhappily when he saw everyone's behavior. "Look at Gu Yu, how generous he is. And look at you, you really disappoint me."
"Senior Huangfu, it's not that we're unwilling to give it, it's just that we didn't obtain any source stones from the Kunlun Source Gate, so we simply can't provide them!" Shi Shuai immediately explained.
“Yes!” the others chimed in. “Senior Huangfu, you’ve misunderstood us.”
"Really?" Huangfu Kui was still somewhat skeptical, but the Northeast Source Gate was a pressing matter, so he could only sit cross-legged for the time being and recover his source energy. As for these people, he would interrogate them properly after the Northeast Source Gate incident was perfectly resolved. He simply couldn't believe that Gu Yu could obtain so much while these people didn't have any. Was this a joke? Did they think he was a fool?
No one knew what Huangfu Kui was thinking at that moment. If they did, they would probably immediately cry foul! And they would say, "Do you think everyone is that freak Gu Yu? He even killed the Rat King, and he was at the same peak of the Emperor Realm as you!"
Don't say we can't do it; even if you went, could you do it?
At this moment, Li Shanpo was guarding the source gate. As soon as the giant beast showed its head, he would immediately release the Golden Judgment Cannon and blast it in, leaving it covered in dust.
At this moment, he was like a war god, single-handedly protecting the entire Northeast Source Gate.
Inside the Source Gate, the colossal beasts had already gathered at the front. These peak-level Emperor Realm beasts kept probing, but they were all humiliated and driven back. This infuriated them, but what good was their anger? They simply couldn't get out!
Enraged, a giant beast at the peak of the Emperor Realm suddenly lifted a hill and hurled it toward the Source Gate.
A terrifying whooshing sound came, and suddenly a huge rock flew out of the source gate. When Li Shanpo saw this, his wings on his back transformed into countless cannons, which immediately fired countless laser beams.
In an instant, the huge rock was shattered. However, when the giant beasts in the Source Gate saw this, they looked at each other and their eyes lit up. It seemed that they had found a way.
Immediately, some giant beasts picked up huge stones and threw them one after another towards the Source Gate.
The next second, one huge rock after another was thrown out from outside the source gate, which made Li Shanpo's expression change drastically. At the same time, everyone else's expression also changed.
Li Shanpo wasn't afraid of stones; he could shatter boulders in an instant. But he couldn't withstand being hurled piece after piece of stone! You see, these boulders were indeed large rocks in the eyes of giant beasts, but to them, they were just small hills!
Each time Li Shanpo's Golden Judgment Cannon is fired, it incurs enormous energy consumption. Although it has ample energy, how long can it continue firing one after another? Gu Yu, despite having a large amount of source stones, cannot withstand such endless consumption!
That's a whole world inside, and judging by the situation, that world is definitely much larger than Earth. Is it lacking in giant rocks? Obviously not.
Li Shanpo's Golden Judgment Cannon never stopped, continuously smashing one boulder after another into dust.
"This won't do!" Gu Yu looked at the scene with a solemn expression. In the end, the problem still needs to be solved at its root, which is to get rid of the giant beast inside. But to get rid of the giant beast inside, it would probably take the intervention of a true god.
Huangfu Kui, who was recovering, also stopped cultivating. Looking at the scene before him, he was somewhat at a loss.
"Can the formation seal the Source Gate?" Huangfu Kui suddenly thought of something and asked Gu Yu.
“It is possible, but it would take a very long time to set up the formation,” Gu Yu replied. “Moreover, to seal a giant beast with the combat power of the peak Emperor Realm, multiple formations are needed to coordinate with each other.”
Gu Yu had considered using formations, but the formations would be sealed by multiple beings with peak Emperor-level combat power. They would continuously attack the formations, and the consumption would be even greater than that of the Golden-Winged Roc Armor. The most crucial issue was time, as a chain formation was required.
Even if Gu Yu didn't eat or sleep, and with someone helping him, it would still take him ten days to half a month. Would he have that time now? If he had come here earlier to set up the formation, perhaps he could have relied on the formation to hold out for a while.
Unlike the Minotaur race of the Southwest Source Gate, these giant beasts are mindless, driven only by brute force, and they will charge relentlessly.
"What should we do? If only we had more new nuclear bombs." Huangfu Kui panicked upon hearing Gu Yu's reply. If things continued like this, the Northeast Source Gate would fall sooner or later unless the giant beasts in the Energy Source Gate were killed. But killing those giant beasts was too difficult.
Just then, dozens of transport planes arrived from afar. Only when Huangfu Kui saw the transport planes did a slight relaxation appear on his face.
Swoosh...
"Father." A figure flew over from the transport plane. It was Huangfu Kui's son, Huangfu Jun. Then, a hundred warriors wearing source armor flew off the plane.
Their source armor combat power ranges from one to three cores, and the people wearing source armor are all quite old.
"How many new nuclear bombs are on the transport plane?" Huangfu Kui asked Huangfu Jun.
"One hundred nuclear warheads," Huangfu Jun replied immediately.
"Nuclear warhead?" Huangfu Kui frowned. He knew that a nuclear warhead alone could not penetrate the source gate, since a nuclear warhead was just a nuclear warhead and did not have a launcher.
“Father, this is the only nuclear weapon China currently possesses, and it's a newly developed warhead. The situation is urgent, and we haven't had time to equip it with a launcher yet,” Huangfu Jun said.
"Sigh!" Hearing Huangfu Jun's words, Huangfu Kui sighed, "It seems this is the only way!"
"Hmm?" Hearing the conversation between the father and son, Gu Yu frowned, as if he had guessed something.
"Father, let's try our best to resist unless absolutely necessary!" Huangfu Jun said.
"Alas!" Huangfu Kui sighed. It was inevitable that the city would fall unless absolutely necessary. Looking at the veterans in their source armor, a look of sorrow appeared on Huangfu Kui's face.
Just then, Li Shanpo, who was constantly crushing boulders, was suddenly struck by a tremendous force, and his body flew backward.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful pressure swept out from the source gate, and a huge cloud of black mist instantly spread out from the source gate, releasing a terrifying power from the mist.
This sudden change made everyone look at the black mist with heightened vigilance.
"Humans, I, the Divine Lord, will tear you to pieces to avenge the oppression you suffered." The black mist slowly condensed, forming a projection that resembled a dragon's head, but differed slightly from a dragon, with a long neck and a pair of eyes that revealed a fierce light.
"A true god?" Feeling the pressure, Huangfu Kui frowned. There was actually a true god in this source gate. The next second, Bai Qi's primordial spirit behind him was released.
Holding a long spear, he instantly headed towards the projection.
"Insects!" The dragon head roared angrily upon seeing Bai Qi's primordial spirit charging towards it. Immediately, a surge of energy erupted from its head, instantly engulfing the surroundings in a dark aura.
Bai Qi's primordial spirit was instantly frozen in place, unable to move. Gu Yu felt this power, and his pupils shrank instantly. This was a domain, the domain of a true god, exactly the same as the domain released by the Western Heavenly King back then.
