Chapter 2090 - Frightening Duel
Chapter 2090: Frightening Duel
“You won’t be able to hurt the Celestial Thearch with me here!” Chang’e knew that Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan was very strong. However, she still spoke in an aloof voice as she staunchly stood in front of the Celestial Thearch.
A ball of mixed emotions welled up in the Celestial Thearch’s heart as he gazed at the beautiful and slender female before him.
Who would’ve thought that there’d come a day when he, the mighty Celestial Thearch, was actually in need of protection.
Moreover, it was a female who was protecting him…
The Celestial Thearch felt a little embarrassed when this thought crossed his mind. In order to nurse his body, he could only retrieve a divine pill from his storage ring and pop it into his mouth!
Boom!
The boundless power of the divine pill exploded through his body and rapidly healed his wounds. At the same time, it also filled his body with energy.
“M-hm… this divine pill tastes fairly good,” the Celestial Thearch said as he nodded slightly.
Ordinary super mighty beings of the Dao Integration Stage wouldn’t be able to find a single divine pill even if they sifted through all of the contents in their storage rings. When it came to the Celestial Thearch, however, divine pills were merely slightly higher grade consumables. After all, the Celestial Thearch was the founder of the Heavenly Court and someone who had ruled over the Kingdom of the Nine States for such a long period of time. Even if he lagged behind in terms of the cultivation base, he wouldn’t lag behind in wealth!
When it came to wealth, the Celestial Thearch felt that he would even be able to rival some divine beings of the God of Creation Stage. Apart from the mega-rich An Lin, he felt like no one else in the Kingdom of the Nine States was richer than him!
The effects of the divine pill were particularly vigorous.
The Celestial Thearch’s exhausted energy was rapidly replenished.
Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan’s expression became even more serious when she saw this sight.
It was already challenging enough to fight against one Chang’e alone. If the Celestial Thearch managed to join in, then she would be forced into an extremely dangerous situation…
Right now, she could either choose to retreat, or choose to wait for her allies to come to her aid.
She could wait for a fellow Heavenly God to dispose of their opponent quickly before joining into her battle. This was the only way she could kill the Celestial Thearch before he regained his full strength!
“Sigh… We were so high-spirited when we arrived, thinking that our enemies were all trash that we could sweep aside with a simple flick of our wrists…
“Now that we’ve engaged with them, we’ve finally realized that our enemies are a far cry from what we had imagined. Up to this stage, the casualties have all been from our camp. It’s actually we who have been cornered into a difficult situation…” Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan sighed as she shook her head. Her gaze lingered over the two remaining Heavenly Gods.
The Heavenly Karma God was still being ganged-up on by the Black and White Spirit Snakes. It was impossible to tell how long their battle would last.
Meanwhile, it seemed like the Heavenly Eternity God’s battle had already reached a decisive juncture.
The Eternal Killing Spear had already pierced deeper into the Heavenly Eternity God’s chest.
The Heavenly Eternity God had initially planned to use all of his power to wrestle his Eternal Killing Spear back from Ao Xiaowu’s control. In the end, however, he used a portion of his power on his eighteen arms. He formed eighteen Eternal Swords of different attributes and slashed them toward different locations of Ao Xiaowu’s body at the same time!
Rather than fighting over the Eternal Killing Spear with Ao Xiaowu, he knew that threatening her with a lethal strike and forcing her to retreat would be a better tactic. At such close quarters, there was no way that Ao Xiaowu would be able to evade his attacks while also controlling his Eternal Killing Spear!
As the Heavenly Eternity God put some energy into attacking Ao Xiaowu, Ao Xiaowu seized the opportunity to push the Eternal Killing Spear deeper into his chest. This caused the Heavenly Eternity God to tremble in pain.
However, the Heavenly Eternity God wasn’t flustered.
Because this was all worth it!
As long as Ao Xiaowu shirked, it wouldn’t—
Tear!
A sharp blade pierced into flesh and sent blood splattering through the air.
Countless blotches of red appeared in the Heavenly Eternity God’s vision!
The Heavenly Eternity God was stupefied.
Faced against eighteen terrifying Eternal Swords, Ao Xiaowu actually didn’t choose to retreat!
She merely tilted her head and dodged the lethal strike that was piercing toward her head. Meanwhile, there was a dense array of swords sticking out from her arms, neck, chest, abdomen, and legs. Like a crimson flower that bloomed with bloodshed, her blood dyed her red clothes an even deeper shade of red.
This woman…
Does she have a death wish?!
As the Heavenly Eternity God thought this, the Eternal Killing Spear once again screwed deeper into his chest. An excruciating pain shot through his body as it crumbled, and the unmoving Heavenly Eternity God felt a desperate urge to scream out in pain!
Seeing that the Heavenly Eternity God’s power was dispersed elsewhere, Ao Xiaowu once again seized the opportunity to launch a ferocious attack!
The Heavenly Eternity God finally came to a realization. Ao Xiaowu didn’t have a death wish… Rather, she wished for him to die!
Only by fighting with no regard for her own safety would she be able to seize the last opportunity to defeat the Heavenly Eternity God!
Ao Xiaowu had clearly known this the entire time.
She knew that the Heavenly Eternity God definitely wouldn’t give her another chance if she were forced to retreat. This was her last chance, so she had to hang onto the Eternal Killing Spear no matter how severe her wounds!
The Heavenly Eternity God was extremely alarmed. He had completely underestimated Ao Xiaowu’s resolve.
The Eternal Killing Spear slowly pierced into his heart.
Ao Xiaowu’s entire body was trembling, and the thick array of Eternal Swords was still stabbed inside her body. Like divine weapons that would never vanish, they furiously unleashed a might that devastated her body and caused her strength to wither.
Ao Xiaowu’s delicate face was scrunched up in agony. She was clearly sleeping, yet she felt intense pain. It was as if she were having a nightmare that she could wake up from at any moment.
Hope flared in the Heavenly Eternity God’s heart when he saw this sight.
I’ve got to hang on! This Dragon Tribe female is also on the verge of breaking down. If she wakes up or loses all her blood, then victory will be mine!
In fact, the Heavenly Eternity God still wanted to plunge a few more swords into Ao Xiaowu’s body. However, he genuinely didn’t dare to put his power elsewhere anymore. He was afraid that Ao Xiaowu would kill him with the Eternal Killing Spear before he could even send his swords toward her.
This was a silent duel.
In stark contrast to the earth-shattering battles of the other Heavenly Gods, the commotion caused by this battle had been especially small up to this point in time. It was as though the two of them were staring each other down. The only movement was from the Eternal Killing Spear that was creeping deeper and deeper into the Heavenly Eternity God’s chest.
However, although the battle was silent, the danger and intensity of it were far greater than ordinary battles.
The Heavenly Eternity God didn’t know whether or not the sleeping Ao Xiaowu was feeling tense.
However, it was feeling extremely tense!
Ao Xiaowu was drenched in blood, and both her vitality and strength were continuously draining away. Her attack had already become sluggish, and it was only a matter of time before she lost the power to push the Eternal Killing Spear deeper into his chest.
The Heavenly Eternity God felt like he could win. However, he still needed to cripple Ao Xiaowu significantly to lay the foundation for his victory.
How could one wake a sleeping person?
One method was through pain, and the other method was through noise.
Since pain was unable to wake her from her slumber, then how about creating some harsh noises?
Coincidentally, creating harsh noises wouldn’t expend much of the Heavenly Eternity God’s energy. He could use the smallest amount of energy to cause the largest amount of damage. This was definitely a perfect endeavor.
Just like that, the Heavenly Eternity God opened his mouth.
“Buzzz… Ahhhhh… Boom… Tsss…!”
Earth-shattering booms, revolting sounds, ear-piercing sounds akin to fingernails scraping against blackboards…
The most terrifying noises of the world erupted into the surroundings.
Sure enough, this drew a reaction from the sleeping Ao Xiaowu. Her eyelashes fluttered as a look of agony spread over her face, and her body also shuddered as if she were experiencing a harrowing nightmare.
It was working! And the results were surprisingly good, no less!
The Heavenly Eternity God lit up in delight.
“Ah… Yiyah!” Ao Xiaowu cried out in pain as her eyes—which were filled with a boundless sense of fury, agitation, and irritation—suddenly flashed open. Limitless power surged through her body, and the Eternal Killing Spear in her hand pierced forward with no regard for anything else!
Boom!
The blood-red spear penetrated through the Heavenly Eternity God’s body and carved a path of death that measured several hundred kilometers into the void.
“Tsss…” Harsh and discordant noises were still booming out from the Heavenly Eternity God’s mouth.
Creak…
After a short moment, he finally moved for the first time. He lowered his head and stared at the puncture wound in his body with a dazed expression…
