"You're asking for it!"
The captain's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He never expected Xu Long to be so ruthless. Even though they had all come out, he still killed them without hesitation.
"You were the ones who provoked me first, so why are you saying I'm courting death?"
Xu Long was very puzzled. Why were these people so unreasonable?
If you try to reason with him, you might survive. But if you don't, you're definitely doomed.
"Die!"
The captain was furious. He thought he could save his teammates, but who would have thought they would die as soon as they appeared?
Bang!
He threw a powerful punch at Xu Long's head, but it was easily blocked by the Soul Crystal Wall.
The power of this punch was quite good, shattering two crystal walls in succession.
However, that's where it ends...
"A trivial skill!"
The captain flicked away non-existent debris from his fist and continued his advance.
But before the fist could land, it was stopped by another huge hand.
"How dare someone act wildly before our god!"
Xiong Da snorted coldly, his black and white fur dancing Wuji the wind from his punches, transforming his original adorable appearance into one of dashing and unruly charm.
This captain is a body cultivator, specializing in physical training and skilled in close combat.
The growth of body cultivators can be roughly divided into two types. One type is like Xu Long, who constantly strengthens himself, causing his bloodline to transform, thus enabling him to surpass even those ancient divine beasts, ferocious beasts, and strange beasts.
Another type, like this captain, involves implanting or awakening a certain bloodline within their body, thereby continuously growing stronger and becoming neither human nor inhuman.
This bloodline may be from the dragon race, or it may originate from some ancient mythical beasts, strange beasts, or ferocious beasts.
But regardless of the form, it will gradually cause him to depart from human form and move him closer and closer to the source of his bloodline.
It's not a matter of good or bad, but there's a huge difference.
Humans are Innate weak, and before reaching the pinnacle, they are destined to expend more resources and effort to contend with the bloodlines of divine beasts, exotic beasts, and ferocious beasts.
But once a certain critical point is reached, humans will leave those beasts far behind.
After all, humans were one of the two strongest races in ancient times, and the strongest humans could even confront top gods head-on.
Xiong Da is not one of those legendary mythical beasts, strange beasts, or ferocious beasts, but he is even more terrifying.
Because Xiong Da himself is the source of the bloodline.
It's better to have what you have yourself than what your parents have.
What you get from others is never as good as what you have from the beginning.
With the same level of cultivation, Xiong Da far stronger than any of the divine beasts, exotic beasts, or ferocious beasts.
Without cultivating his primordial spirit or magical Magic Power, his punch was so powerful that even the invincible war god Yinglong had to temporarily avoid his edge.
boom!
A terrifying force was unleashed, and half of the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace's body was pulverized.
"Why is it so strong? Shouldn't pandas be cute in zoos?"
The dozen or so team members were incredulous; the opponent was too strong. Their captain had been defeated without any resistance.
"While pandas may be able to get good food and drink just by being cute, it doesn't mean they lack the ability to hunt."
Xu Long said, "Pandas are bears, not cats, so they don't meow."
"That seems to make a lot of sense!"
Upon hearing Xu Long's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.
The next moment, they suddenly realized that they were fighting, not providing science education.
"I've heard that there's a causal relationship between Guardian Spirit and their Spirit Host, like how Xu Chu and Dian Wei protect Cao Yanbing, a descendant of the Cao family. Why is your Guardian Spirit a panda? Is it a zookeeper?"
The captain made a sarcastic remark, then roared, "You think you're the only one with Guardian Spirit? I have Laozi too!"
"Come out, Pikachu!"
As soon as the captain finished speaking, a yellow rat about 20 centimeters tall appeared out of thin air.
It was covered in hair, with two round faces from which a string of tiny sparks of electricity would burst forth.
Although it was calling out " Guardian Spirit," Xu Long could tell at a glance that this Pikachu had a physical form.
This must be a pet, just like the case with the Rice Bucket.
Pikachu! Gigavolt!
Pikachu...
Upon hearing the captain's words, Pikachu immediately screamed.
The blinding light enveloped an area of a kilometer in radius, and terrifying electric currents struck Xu Long hard.
Gigavolt —even a cultivator at the Body Integration Stage couldn't withstand that.
However, Xu Long is a man who can withstand even heavenly tribulations, let alone a tiny Pikachu.
The lightning seemed to sweep across the heavens and earth, scorching the air itself.
However, when it landed on Xu Long, it not only failed to shatter his clothes, but instead completely penetrated his body.
team leader. "???"
Team members. "???"
What's going on? Where's the electricity? Or was that all a hallucination?
Everyone was very puzzled, but when they saw Pikachu at the captain's feet, looking as if it had been riddled with hundreds of rats, they realized that it wasn't quite like that.
"We've... run into a brick wall..."
The team members looked at each other, realizing they were doomed.
Under normal circumstances, they might beg for mercy, offering resources and information in exchange for a chance to survive.
After seeing Xu Long mercilessly kill the teammate who came to test them, they realized that they had no other way but to fight to the death.
" Zapdos!"
Articuno!
" Moltres!"
Mewtwo!
" Arceus!"
Rayquaza!
" Deoxys!"
" Renegade Dragon!"
Giratina!
" Palkia!"
" Lugia!"
" Nightmare God!"
Cresselia!
" Dialga!"
Dialga!
Deoxys!
Latias!
Latios!
"Slate!"
A total of eighteen sprites were summoned, and there seemed to be something strange mixed in with them.
"Oh, right, the stone slab seems to be able to change attributes and enhance the Pokémon's strength. This team is full of god-level Pokémon; it looks like they've conquered that world."
Xu Long sighed. Although these little sprites looked intimidating, their combat power was really just so-so.
He relies entirely on instinct to exert his strength, using ten parts of his strength to unleash ten parts of power. Unlike a strong person like him, who can unleash a hundred, or even several hundred or several thousand parts of power with ten parts of his strength.
This is the gap! An insurmountable gap!
It's like how, even among cultivators at the Body Integration Stage, some can easily defeat those at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, while others are completely overwhelmed by those at the Spirit Severing Stage.
" Tina, Xiong Da, kill these things!"
Xu Long gave a signal, and the two Guardian Spirit immediately took action.
"I will obey the decree of my God!"
The dazzling holy light and the enormous fist directly suppressed more than a dozen sprites.
As an ancient god who survived from the Primordial Era, Tina's cultivation level was not very high in that era, but her combat power was quite remarkable, and she had an extremely strong grasp of the battle situation.
Tina didn't know what the stone slab was for, but that didn't stop her from taking action.
Holy light! Purification!
A blinding white light burst forth from Tina's palm, instantly transforming an area of a thousand meters into a white ocean.
The sky was white, the earth was white, and even the many Pokémon had turned white.
"Not good!"
Upon seeing the sky filled with white light, the captain immediately sensed something was wrong.
He tried to stop Tina, but it was too late.
Click!
A crisp sound rang out, followed by a series of loud popping sounds.
Countless cracks appeared on the stone slab, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered into countless fragments the size of peanuts.
"It's over!"
Upon witnessing this, the captain's heart sank completely.
The shattered stone slab signifies that these god-level Pokémon cannot change their attributes or receive special buffs; they can only continue fighting in their current form.
But if that's the case, can they really win?
Watching Xiong Da rampage through the crowd of sprites, and then looking at Tina bathed in holy light not far away, the captain had never felt so desperate.
Bang!
With a single punch, he sent Zapdos flying.
With one stomp, Pikachu turned into a dead mouse.
Xiong Da moved with impunity, beating the little elves until they screamed in agony.
"Don't waste time, it's better to kill these poultry!"
Xiong Da gave a low growl; these birds were incredibly annoying.
They would dodge when the Xiong Da attacked, but would fly back when the Xiong Da turned around, which was extremely annoying.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Upon hearing Xiong Da's words, Articuno and Moltres were enraged. Their feathers bristled as they flew towards Xiong Da like madmen.
They felt insulted, and only blood could wash it away.
"If I had known it would be so easy to provoke him, I wouldn't have had to take so many beatings before."
Xiong Da muttered to himself, and just as Articuno approached, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and exhaled a cloud of air.
boom!
The breath and the excited beam collided, instantly shattering Articuno's attack.
Xiong Da took a big bite and killed Articuno instantly.
Xiong Da has already achieved some success, but Tina is not far behind.
Without the stone tablet, these god-tier Pokémon are practically useless.
Dazzling holy light shot out from all directions, keeping the enemy busy and flustered.
The areas covered by this white light were like domains. Although they couldn't become omnipotent gods like Xu Long's domain, they still possessed unfathomable power.
An attack from an unknown source, and Tina hiding somewhere unknown.
The dozen or so Pokémon pain, and half of them died in less than five breaths.
"How could this happen? Why did it turn out this way?"
The captain was horrified; he couldn't believe that his twenty-man team was so easily defeated.
"You're all too weak! You're weak, and your pets are weak too."
Xu Long chuckled and casually grabbed an enemy and pulled him in front of him.
Shatter his body, search his soul.
[Defeat the intruder! Obtain a wisp of Spirit Rhyme!]
After searching the soul, he casually crushed it, obtaining a trace of Spirit Rhyme.
As the most powerful general under the command of Chi You, the War Lord, Xiong Da experienced countless battles.
They don't make a move unless they're absolutely ruthless.
Tina is an ancient goddess who survived from the Primordial Era and once served in the Yellow Emperor's camp, possessing extremely rich combat experience.
When it comes to fighting, Dadu.
The two of them dealt with Pokémon, while Xu Long reaped the lives of these enemies from the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace.
[Defeat the intruder! Obtain a wisp of Spirit Rhyme!]
[Defeat the intruder! Obtain a wisp of Spirit Rhyme!]
One after another, people died at Xu Long's hands, and the information obtained from soul searching increased, gradually resolving all the doubts in Xu Long's heart.
"So that's how it is! This Eternal Life Heavenly Palace is actually like this!"
As he sorted through the information he had gathered, Xu Long couldn't help but sigh.
He had previously suspected that this so-called Eternal Life Heavenly Palace might be a rival force to the Reincarnation Temple, vying for control of the World Core.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace was not only hostile to the Reincarnation Temple, but to all the Divine Hall.
Furthermore, their lair is not in the Human Realm, but in the Earth Realm.
Since the beginning of ancient times, there have been Three Realms: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
The Human Realm is the main body, while the Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm are located on opposite sides of the Human Realm Human Realm, connected to it, but not dependent on it like those smaller Human Realm.
In ancient times, there were two most powerful races: the dragons and the humans.
In the ancient times, there were two super powers: the Savage Wilderness Divine Hall and the Lingxiao Heavenly Court.
The Savage Wilderness Divine Hall guards the Human Realm, while the Lingxiao Heavenly Court reigns supreme in the Heaven Realm.
As for the Earth Realm, it was desolate and there were not many living beings.
It was like a forbidden zone; all living things that entered that Earth Realm perished.
After the great calamity occurred, these two superpowers were the first to bear the brunt.
Although they ultimately could not escape destruction, many powerful individuals still managed to flee into the Earth Realm thanks to the combined efforts of the Immortal Emperor and the God Lord.
Only then did the creatures of the Great Wilderness understand why there had never been any life in the Earth Realm.
That was the hope left by the Immortal Emperor and the God Lord for all living beings, the last refuge for all races in the Great Wilderness.
The Primordial Great Tribulation was extremely terrifying; even Immortal Emperor and God Lord who transcended everything could not escape it.
Before his death, the Immortal Emperor sent the dilapidated Lingxiao Heavenly Court to the Earth Realm, leaving behind countless legacies.
Before his death, the God Lord used the ruins of the Savage Wilderness Divine Hall to protect the Great Wilderness, leaving a glimmer of hope for this world that was about to completely collapse.
Countless years later, the Lingxiao Heavenly Court and the Savage Wilderness Divine Hall repaired the damaged Heaven Realm and Human Realm according to their original plan, but a conflict arose between the Heavenly Court and the Divine Hall.
The Heavenly Court believed that the Heaven Realm and the Human Realm were beyond saving, and suggested that all the fragments be integrated into the Earth Realm instead.
The Divine Hall, however, obeyed the orders of the God Lord and continued to repair the Human Realm.
Death, Rebirth Divine Hall, Reincarnation Temple, Frenzied Beast Divine Hall —these four Divine Hall are all manifestations of the spirits of the damaged Divine Hall.
The Eternal Life Heavenly Palace represents the will of the Heavenly Court.
The damage to the Lingxiao Heavenly Court was much less than that to the Savage Wilderness Divine Hall, but that does not mean that its strength surpasses that of the Divine Hall.
The truth is quite the opposite; the power of the Divine Hall far surpasses that of the Heavenly Court.
However, before the Primordial Great Tribulation, the Divine Hall, which guarded the Human Realm, suffered even greater impact and more severe damage.
At this time, the Heavenly Court held the advantage, and the Earth Realm was far more powerful than the Human Realm. The four Main God transformed from the spirits of the Divine Hall were no match for the Heavenly Court.
For this mission, the Divine Hall of Eternal Life sent a total of eight teams, comprising one hundred people.
This twenty-person team is the weakest of them all!
The strongest team consisted entirely of Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts, chosen by the Heavenly Court through a rigorous selection process.
" Main God Main God, why are you telling me this now? Is it because you can't wait any longer? Or are you running out of time?"
Xu Long murmured to himself, his expression extremely solemn.
It's impossible for a mere group of people from the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace to know such ancient secrets.
The only possible reason Xu Long received this information was that the Main God was using this opportunity to tell him.
