Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, everyone stopped and looked at the black bead not far away.
The dark sewage was spreading rapidly, gradually approaching them. It wouldn't be long before this area was swallowed up by the dark sewage.
This was followed by a riot of dark creatures in the surrounding area, for whom the dark sewage was an excellent source of nourishment.
"But, but! Do we have the ability to destroy, destroy the bead?" Zhou Wenbin asked. Destroying something that is the source of darkness is not difficult, but that is only relative to a formal lord.
For these new lords, destroying the source of darkness will be no easy task.
“That’s right! And when it’s destroyed, it releases a large amount of dark power all at once, which we probably won’t be able to withstand, right?” Gao Caidie said as well. These are the two biggest problems in destroying the original item.
"Lord, we are willing to stay and destroy the source of darkness! We will die without regret!" Ye Xi and the others knelt on one knee and said to Ye Chen with a look of fearlessness.
"Roar~~" Not only them, but Zhou Wenbin's mountain giants also approached, letting out low roars towards everyone, clearly wanting to destroy the source of darkness as well.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Wenbin and Gao Caidie fell silent, their unfinished words caught in their throats.
"Resisting the darkness is the meaning of their birth in this world, and we, as lords, are here to help them achieve this vision!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice, looking at the clansmen kneeling on the ground, and raised his hand to help them up.
“You don’t need to kneel down, and no one needs to sacrifice their lives. It’s just a dark entity; it’s not enough to cost you your lives.” In Ye Chen’s words, Zhou Wenbin and Gao Caidie both felt the weight and responsibility in them.
"But sir!" Ye Xi spoke up, wanting to argue further, but was stopped by Ye Chen.
"Mountain Giants and Mountain Gods, retreat to a safe distance. Earth Gods, prepare your strongest single-target spells. Moon Goddess and Jade Rabbits, construct defenses!" Ye Chen quickly instructed, while also having the Mountain Gods raise the ground beneath them to slow the spread of the dark sewage.
The encroachment of darkness, though unaffected by anything, is undoubtedly slowed down by raising the terrain, since an angled path always covers a greater distance than a straight line.
"This? The mountain god is only at level 3. Can they really shatter that bead?" Zhou Wenbin and Gao Caidie both had similar doubts. Shattering something of the origin of darkness requires at least level 4 attack power, which is why most new lords cannot do it.
"With enough time to prepare, this old man can do it!" Before Ye Chen could speak, a local deity spoke up first.
“That’s right. And if the ten of us working together can’t even break a tiny stone bead, then we wouldn’t deserve the name of the land!” another land deity said confidently.
"Yue'e will definitely fight to the death to protect everyone. If we are unfortunately breached by the dark energy, Yue'e is willing to stand in her own body to buy time for everyone to evacuate!" Ye Xi said, even making a pledge.
"Alright! Today, let's face the darkness head-on!" Ye Chen shouted.
Zhou Wenbin and Gao Caidie began to lead their clansmen to retreat, while the mountain gods continued to raise the terrain to slow the spread of the dark sewage.
"You! You! Be careful!" Zhou Wenbin shouted at Ye Chen, turning back every three steps. Ye Chen waved and left them with only his imposing back.
"Boom~~~" The ten landmen worked together, and a two-meter-thick earthen gun slowly rose from the ground, continuously compressing and solidifying as it spun.
The power of the land beings originates from the earth, and in China they are even known as Earth Immortals, whose control over the land is unparalleled.
The massive, two-meter-thick earthen spear, under their combined force, continuously solidified and compressed, eventually transforming into a normal-sized stone spear, demonstrating its immense density.
Moreover, as they continued to polish it, the clay spearhead developed a metallic sheen, with a few glints of cold light, and its sharpness far surpassed that of ordinary weapons.
"This earthen spear has the power to break through the formation!" a local earth god shouted, and the earthen spear buried in the ground shot into the sky, passing before everyone with the sound of dawn breaking.
Rock Spear is a commonly used spell in advanced earth magic, but even a regular Rock Spear could not achieve the level of skill shown here.
The moment the earthen spear rose, the other nine earth spirits released their control over it and began to compress and solidify the land around the black bead, making it able to withstand the impact of the stone spear.
This is much easier than using a clay gun; you just need to compact the soil.
As for the person controlling the clay gun, he didn't let it pierce the ground directly. Instead, he made it fly around the hill beneath his feet, waiting for others to compact the ground while simultaneously increasing the inertia of the clay gun and enhancing its impact.
Once the ground beneath the black bead was sufficiently compacted, the clay gun shot into the sky, then turned its head and, aided by gravity, fell back to the ground.
"Gravity boost!" The land gods acted again, this time with the help of some mountain gods. The sudden increase in gravity multiplied the acceleration of the falling stone spear, and in an instant, it crashed to the ground like a meteor.
"Boom~~~" Guided by the spiritual power of the many land beings, the stone spear landed precisely on the location of the black bead.
"It's our turn!" Ye Xi led the many Moon Goddesses and Jade Rabbits up, and even the Moon-Embracing Rabbit and the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit were not left out this time.
The soft moonlight shone down, forming a gentle curtain of light in front of everyone, protecting them from the darkness.
"Boom~~~" In just a moment, before the sound of the stone spear crashing down had subsided, everyone felt a terrifying force rapidly spreading outwards from the black bead.
"Stop!" Ye Xiqing shouted, and all the power of Yue'e and the Jade Rabbit began to surge wildly into the moonlight curtain.
The hill beneath their feet rumbled and roared, and even with many Yue'e standing in front of them, the immense impact still forced everyone to retreat.
Fortunately, a mountain god stood behind Ye Chen, supporting his frail body.
"Pfft~" Dark power surged wildly, and a jade rabbit was immediately knocked unconscious by the impact of the first wave of power.
Then the other jade rabbits collapsed one after another, but fortunately they were all just exhausted and fainted, and none of them were seriously injured.
This final force came and went quickly; in just an instant, the terrifying impact gradually subsided.
A large amount of dark sewage was kept out by the moonlight barrier, while a mysterious power surged into Ye Chen's body.
Before he could even get a good feel for it, Zhou Wenbin and Gao Caidie's voices came from behind him.
"Ye, Ye Chen! Run! Good, good, so many dark creatures!"
