Chapter 2181: Fall Of Venerables (3)
Chapter 2181: Fall Of Venerables (3)
Deep inside the mountain, Yue Zhan's voice rang out again, "All Eternals, join the battle."
Hundreds of Eternals soared into the sky and rushed toward the battlefield unyieldingly. As for Yue Hao and the others, they did not retreat behind their defensive formation. They couldn't do that as the formation wasn't strong enough to withstand so many powerhouses.
With them outside, the enemy Venerables would not be able to concentrate on breaking their formation.
"Kill!"
At this point, even those from Control King's lineage had gone mad from all the slaughter. The axe-wielder, who was surrounded by three Venerables, roared and pushed his strength to the maximum. He was coughing blood repeatedly, but he was fighting like he had gone berserk.
Withdrawal was not an option here. He could only fight with everything on the line.
***
As for the devils, two Venerables were facing the white-haired old man who had lost his Hell Gate earlier. The white-haired old man was very powerful as well. Despite his previous injuries, he was able to handle two Venerables without sinking into a disadvantaged position. But as a whole, Control King's lineage was losing.
The projected matron dragon, on the other hand, was doing quite well. It was suppressing Sacred Marquis. The immortals were under immense pressure. Elsewhere, Corona and Venerable Moon of the divine race were joining hands against a sword-wielding woman. The woman was pushed back repeatedly by the two.
The chaos dragon and eight-winged tiger were also suppressing the twins they were facing. The white-haired old man looked around with grief. Their holy race was powerful, but the alliance of three factions was still too much for them to handle.
Their Ancestor couldn't join the battle, and Supreme Yu Qing was not yet out. The white-haired old man had complicated feelings about this.
Opposite him, Venerable Scrape and Celestial Devil had solemn expressions as they kept pushing the old man back. The battle raged, with both the chaos beasts and myriad races losing one Daofuse after another.
More worryingly, Su Yu's group of six was able to remove Daofuses at great efficiency. In the blink of an eye, they had killed more than ten Daofuses. A large number of Eternals were swarming them in a suicidal manner.
This was a battle to defend their homeland. Their home was behind them. They could not afford to retreat.
***
Su Yu killed endlessly. For him, these people were no challenge to kill. Some of them even attempted to self-detonate, but the effects were minimal against Su Yu's group. One ought to admit that the myriad races were quite impressive when they actually fought seriously. They were able to maintain an upper hand against Control King's lineage.
At that moment, the axe-wielder was struck by Venerable Dragon's tail. His body cracked apart, looking like he was about to die. Right at that moment, a powerful aura surged into the sky.
Yue Zhan could not hold back anymore. With a flicker, he shattered space and appeared in the battlefield before throwing a punch at Venerable Dragon. At first, Su Yu wanted to stop him. But when he noticed that the guy was hitting Venerable Dragon, he decided to ignore it.
Boom!
With a rumble, Venerable Dragon was sent flying. Just as Consort Emeritus was about to move, Corona shouted, "I'll deal with him!"
With that, he split from Venerable Moon and charged toward the newly arrived Yue Zhan. They couldn't allow the Consort Emeritus to fight yet. Any battle would be her final battle. She would die after that.
Noticing what was happening, Su Yu flickered into the distance before shooting toward the sword-wielding woman, who was facing Venerable Moon. Both Venerable Moon and the woman were alarmed by the sudden approach.
Both were afraid that Su Yu would attack them. A palm descended upon the woman. Behind him, March, Giant Axe, and Thunderstorm arrived as well. Despair covered the woman's face.
There were too many of them. This was enough strength to face even a Master of Law. And she was a mere Venerable. Venerable Moon exhaled in relief. Fortunately, they weren't targeting him.
Seeing that Su Yu's group was upon her while all her allies were occupied, the woman lost all hope. Ruthlessness gleamed in her eyes. Her gaze settled on Venerable Moon, who was still trying to keep her tied down. Meeting her gaze, Venerable Moon's heart thumped.
However, it was too late.
Boom!
A gigantic explosion rocked the world.
It even blasted Su Yu's descending palm attack. The unyielding woman had perfectly demonstrated the ruthlessness a Venerable was capable of. She was as good as dead. But even her death was a tool for her to achieve something.
Boom!
Seven or eight Daofuses from both camps nearby were instantly killed.
Venerable Moon, who was the nearest person to her, had his body cracking apart and his dao shaking violently after the explosion. He wasn't able to flee in time. Everything had happened too quickly.
Su Yu had arrived quickly, and the woman had self-detonated quickly.
The woman had not only detonated her dao, but her body and sea of willpower as well. She was so decisive it was unimaginable. She understood that with Su Yu here, not even her sea of willpower could escape. In that case, she might as well detonate everything.
Shockwaves of the explosion rippled everywhere. Venerable Moon was falling apart, and even his sea of willpower was forced out of his body. The Consort Emeritus reached over from far away and grabbed the sea of willpower.
Su Yu did not seem like he was going to help anyone. Yes. He had pulled away right after the explosion. Why would he bother to help Venerable Moon?
Fortunately for Venerable Moon, the Consort Emeritus had sensed the crisis and fished his sea of willpower out before it was too late. However, her arm was greatly damaged after it plunged right into the explosion radius. This was the self-detonation of a Venerable.
In fact, it was the first time a proper detonation of a Venerable had ever happened. Su Yu seemed to enjoy employing self-detonation a lot, but he had only used heavenly kings for it. Previously, two heavenly kings were enough to greatly injure a Venerable through self-detonation.
Thus, one could imagine how powerful the detonation of a proper Venerable would be. If Su Yu hadn't blocked a part of the explosion, and if the Consort Emeritus had not helped, Venerable Moon would be dead.
"Shi Jian!"
The experts of Control King's lineage roared with fury and grief.
Dead.
That was the second Venerable they lost after emerging from their seclusion. The first was killed by Su Yu's group. That was a surprising death that nobody had expected. But the second death today was not surprising. All of them expected to die if nothing changed.
And Su Yu was also involved in the death of this Venerable. If he hadn't interfered, Shi Jian would not have detonated herself in her despair. Venerable Moon alone was not enough to defeat her.
Thus, numerous furious gazes were levied toward Su Yu from Control King's lineage. It was all his fault! A lot might have happened, but it hadn't been that long since the battle started. And a Venerable was already dead.
Boom!
With a rumble, Corona was sent flying by Yue Zhan's punch. Yue Zhan's aura was stirring dangerously.
His hair whipped about as he looked at Su Yu and said frostily, "Su Yu, you're courting death."
Su Yu had an innocent expression as he said, "I didn't kill her."
It wasn't him!
She killed herself! How was that his fault? Also, the myriad races were the ones who had killed more. He had only killed a few Daofuses. Why were they directing their anger toward him?
"Die!"
Suddenly, Yue Zhan roared and manifested his Hell Gate. The gate was not manifested for the sake of killing. Rather, it was manifested to trap. Instantly, Corona was swallowed. Then, Yue Zhan threw a punch at Su Yu.
Kill Su Yu!
An incomparably powerful force descended upon Su Yu. Facing the incoming punch, Su Yu's expression turned slightly solemn, but he wasn't too worried. There were six Venerables on his side. With Corona trapped, Yue Zhan was essentially taking on seven Venerables all by himself. He wouldn't win even if he were a Master of Law. Only the strongest of Masters of Laws could prevail against such a gathering of opponents.
The Consort Emeritus had the urge to join the fight as well, but after a slight hesitation, she decided not to. This was an opponent Su Yu's side could handle. If she got involved, she could die easily. Of the divines, Venerable Moon had been seriously injured while Corona was still tripped. However, their assigned opponent had died. The divines were done with their share of the burden for this battle.
As Yue Zhan was raging, and as rumbling sounds rang out everywhere, yet another variable appeared. Suddenly, the Consort Emeritus turned and gazed into the distance. All thought of holding back vanished from her head. She sent a palm attack forward, but right after, she turned around in alarm and sent another palm attack.
A being with surging devilish qi had appeared behind her.
The newcomer was a female devil.
An extremely powerful devil.
Her purple hair whipping about, she summoned a clump of lightning around her fist before throwing it out. Even further away, Venerable Scrape and Celestial Devil suddenly joined hands with the white-haired old man and charged toward Venerable Dragon.
At the same time, Tiangu and Sacred Source Marquis moved, attacking the axe-wielder of Control King's lineage. The devils had defected.
This was what Tiangu had been worried about, and it had indeed happened. He had tasked the Consort Emeritus to be on the watch for this, but she had been occupied by a newly arrived devil powerhouse.
Instead of helping Venerable Dragon, Tiangu took the chance to attack the already injured axe-wielder.
Focus fire and eliminate what opponents they could. This was Tiangu's plan. Venerable Dragon wasn't even a member of his race. He found no reason to help Venerable Dragon when a better alternative was present.
All the changes had happened abruptly.
It was inconceivable.
Venerable Dragon was overwhelmed with shock. He had just been sent flying by Yue Zhan, and he had sustained a serious injury from that punch. With three opponents charging toward him, he wailed in fear, "Help me!"
He could still be saved. Tiangu's group could still save him. Giant Axe and Heavenly Fate weren't that far away either. Even Fat Ball was near enough to save him. But nobody bothered.
Yes. Nobody bothered.
They either watched indifferently or continued their battles.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Four rumbles rang out in succession. One came from the clash of Su Yu and Yue Zhan, one came from the clash of Consort Emeritus and the devil, one came from Tiangu and the axe-wielder, and one came from Venerable Dragon and his three opponents.
The shockwaves from the four clashes spread everywhere, blasting some of the weaker combatants apart. Many of the nearby Eternals instantly burst apart. Su Yu pulled back while Yue Zhan stopped his advance. Su Yu was not alone. The Consort Emeritus was able to push her opponent back. Not far away, Venerable Dragon was falling apart. At the same time, the axe-wielder was also falling apart.
Two seas of willpower emerged at the same time. All that had happened too quickly. Two seas of willpower had been forced out of their bodies before most even realized what was happening.
"Sky Devouring!"
A roar rang out as a gigantic mouth replaced the sky. With a rumble, a devouring force erupted and pulled the two seas of willpower over.
That was Fat Ball.
The moment he received Su Yu's order, he devoured the two seas of willpower with all his strength.
Numerous gazes landed on Su Yu. Coincidentally, Su Yu had just been sent flying by another punch from the Ancestor. He took the chance to grab Fat Ball before running off with his people.
The two seas of willpower were his. He did not care where they came from. Only then did everyone register the changes. Silence descended. In the blink of an eye, four Venerables had either been killed or crippled.
Everything had happened in an instant.
