The God of Natural Disasters Without a Weak Link (3/3)
"The opportunity has arrived!"
When Li Boyang slowly uttered those words, Xiluo, who was standing next to him, immediately perked up.
"Let's go! What should we do now?"
They didn't even ask another question.
Li Boyang rolled his eyes at Xiluo's behavior of simply giving up on thinking.
He had seemed flattered and surprised just moments before, as if he were afraid he was hiding something from her.
But when it really came down to it, Xiluo had no intention of investigating the whole story, adopting a "you say, I do" attitude.
"Jump onto my shoulders, let's chat as we walk---"
"So you won't complain later that I'm hiding everything from you."
Li Boyang reached out his hand to Xiluo, who immediately understood and jumped onto his shoulder.
The next moment, the two figures vanished into the ground, disappearing into the mountain god temple.
"Is this the Earth Escape Technique)?"
Xiluo felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and then she could see nothing at all.
Only the rapidly receding soil and geology around her made Xiluo feel as if she were moving at some kind of supersonic speed.
As the mountain goddess Xiluo immediately realized that this was the "Earth Escape Technique exclusive to the Land God.
"Earth Escape Technique" is not Divine Ability, but a Law Technique often used by the Land God, and most mountain gods are also somewhat familiar with it.
However, Xiluo, the mountain god, was an exception.
Being ignorant and incompetent, she didn't even know the "Mountain-Moving Technique" most commonly used by the mountain gods, let alone the Law Technique exclusive to the Land God.
"Wait, when did the Earth Escape Technique become so fast?"
Although there is no reference point for coordinates.
But the mountain god's instincts made Xiluo realize that her current speed seemed to be a bit excessive.
In the blink of an eye, the distance of tens of kilometers had been covered, and the speed continued to increase.
"This is not Earth Escape Technique, or rather, not entirely a technique for adapting to different terrains; it is a type of Five Elements Escape Techniques."
"Well, to distinguish it, you can call it Earth Escape."
"I just figured it out a while ago---"
"It's faster than ' Riding Clouds and Driving Mist,' but significantly easier to learn."
Seemingly to strengthen the credibility of his statement, Li Boyang hesitated for a moment before adding another sentence.
"This is a kind of escape technique that utilizes the Earth Yuan Qi."
"It would be even better if we could borrow the power of a local Land God; its requirements for itself are not too demanding."
Even with your temperament, you should be able to learn it in three to five days at most.
Upon hearing this, Xiluo became interested; she liked Law Technique that didn't require much brainpower to learn.
As for seeking power from their gods?
Xiluo believed this was her strength, and there was no deity in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range who would not want to borrow her power.
"Then teach me as soon as we defeat Wuzhiqi."
With a smile and a nod, Li Boyang smoothly shifted the topic back to Wuzhiqi.
Do you know which Heavenly Deity being Wuzhiqi feared most when he invaded Wuzhiqi Guifang Kingdom?
Slightly confused, Xiluo blinked and instinctively answered.
"Of course it's the Tufang Clan!"
"After the Tufang Clan regained his freedom, he almost single-handedly annihilated Wuzhiqi's vanguard, transforming them into mindless and unfeeling ghost soldiers Ghost God."
"If Wuzhiqi hadn't subdued the Tide-Swallowing Clan beforehand and learned of the Tufang Clan's weakness from him—"
"I estimate that Wuzhiqi is still trapped outside the borders of the Guifang Kingdom, and it's impossible for him to be suppressed under the ancestral temple altar of the Guifang Kingdom."
This incident occurred after Li Boyang and Xiluo brought back the God-Binding Cord. Having witnessed the terrifying scene at the ruins of the Tufang Kingdom, Xiluo was deeply impressed by the power of the Tufang Clan.
The scene of turning an entire kingdom into a ghostly realm, where Gods and Devils, and monsters are forcibly bound to that land after their deaths, and who mourn and wail every day, is simply too disturbing.
According to Li Boyang at the time, this was because the Guifang Kingdom had released the Tufang Clan, allowing him to regain his freedom.
As a condition, or rather, a price, the Tufang Clan appeared within the territory of the Guifang Kingdom, wantonly slaughtering the gods and monsters who were causing chaos during the floods and torrential rains.
"Tufang Clan is indeed strong, but he has a very obvious weakness."
"Especially for a powerhouse like Wuzhiqi, a Heavenly Deity with obvious weaknesses is not worth fearing."
Li Boyang gently shook his head, giving an answer that was both unexpected and yet perfectly reasonable.
"Among the Gods of the Five Directions, the one that Wuzhiqi truly feared was the Ancestor God of the Guifang Kingdom— Roaring Heaven Clan."
"Wuzhiqi first relied on his innate advantages to repeatedly shatter the returning self of the Tide-Swallowing Clan," and finally subdued him to become the new Rain God."
"Following this, Wuzhiqi, having learned of the weaknesses from the Tide-Swallowing Clan, forcibly sealed the Tufang Clan once more."
"Only when entering Cliff Settlement City did Wuzhiqi defeat the Roaring Heaven Clan with absolute strength, without resorting to any underhanded methods."
Li Boyang paused slightly at this point.
"When dealing with the Roaring Heaven Clan, was Wuzhiqi unwilling to use unorthodox methods?"
"No, Wuzhiqi may be proud and arrogant, but he has never been some kind of god of corruption---"
"This can be seen from the methods used to deal with the Tide-Swallowing Clan and Tufang Clan."
"Attacking the enemy's weaknesses and exploiting their shortcomings is precisely the fighting style that Wuzhiqi excels at."
Xiluo nodded slightly, seemingly understanding Li Boyang's unspoken message.
"Among the Gods of the Five Directions, Roaring Heaven Clan is the only one without any Heavenly Deity."
"The Guirong Clan was incomplete, the Green Wood Clan was not good at fighting, the Tide-Swallowing Clan had their humanity weakened, and the Tufang Clan was a ferocious demon Ghost God devoid of reason."
"Only the Roaring Heaven Clan achieved a perfect balance between their divinity and humanity, and had no obvious flaws in terms of power."
"If it weren't for that sword strike from you, Roaring Heaven Clan in his normal state could have taken the initiative and led the Gods of the Five Directions to ambush and kill Wuzhiqi's army."
Seeing that Xiluo understood his meaning, Li Boyang continued to speak with a smile.
"That's right, so among the Gods of the Five Directions, the dominant position of the Roaring Heaven Clan is unshakeable."
"The strength of the Roaring Heaven Clan lies not in the amount of power they possess, but in the fact that they have no weaknesses."
Even from the perspective of "Heavenly Deity," the Roaring Heaven Clan remains invincible.
"Therefore, after conquering Cliff Settlement City, Wuzhiqi, fearing the Roaring Heaven Clan, immediately massacred and enslaved the entire population of the Guifang Kingdom, attempting to completely sever their faith and rituals."
Heavenly Deity are indeed difficult to kill, but they are not truly invincible.
Even immortal gods like Roaring Heaven Clan, who symbolize "natural disasters," have the possibility of permanently losing their personality.
In a sense, the Roaring Heaven Clan, having lost the Guifang Kingdom, was just like the Tide-Swallowing Clan.
They will either become a general under the demon Wuzhiqi, or transform into some kind of natural phenomenon in the world.
Judging from the current situation, Roaring Heaven Clan has clearly chosen the latter outcome.
