Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 541 - : Battle of Life and Death (Part 2)

Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Battle of Life and Death (Part 2)

A beam of the Light of Destruction instantaneously penetrated a thousand zhang of distance, striking one of the Two-Headed Giants.

The Two-Headed Giant was massive in stature and even more impressive in momentum, but its reaction was clearly slow, not realizing its dilemma until after half its shoulder was blasted to pieces. It then lifted its head and let out a roar that was both angry and pained.

It dropped the stone club it was holding and, reaching down with its rough, large hands, grabbed four or five Evil Monsters.

Then it stuffed them into its gaping maw, chewing a few times before swallowing them into its belly.

And the part of it that had been severely damaged by the God-Slaying Cannon healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The other giants completely ignored their companion’s fate and continued to advance with firm and powerful strides.

With each step they took, they covered a distance of ten zhang!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within Weifa City, there were built ninety-nine Defense Towers, each equipped with a God-Slaying Cannon.

Previously, these Sharp Weapons had been firing into the air, targeting giant eagles, but now they lowered their barrels, aiming at the Two-Headed Giants outside the city and spewing out beams of the mighty Light of Destruction.

The Two-Headed Giant in the lead took the brunt of the attack, with one of them being hit by two beams of the Light of Destruction at the same time, instantly exploding into countless fragments.

The first salvo of the God-Slaying Cannon killed or wounded twenty to thirty giants!

However, the other giants now reacted; they stooped and plunged their left hands deep into the ground.

The surrounding soil quickly gathered, and in an instant, it condensed into a massive shield.

The power the Two-Headed Giants used was the Solidify Mud to Stone technique!

“Roar~”

One of the Two-Headed Giants suddenly rose to its full height, letting out a deafening bellow and at the same time lifting its stone shield to protect itself.

Not only that, but the soil under its feet seemed to “come to life” and spread up along its legs, swiftly enveloping its massive body and finally hardening into thick Rock Armor!

The defensive capabilities of these Evil Monsters were instantly and fundamentally elevated!

When the God-Slaying Cannons atop the Defense Towers fired again, the killing effect was vastly different from before.

A beam of the Light of Destruction hit the stone shield, blasting a large hole in it before striking the giant’s body.

But the Two-Headed Giant only staggered slightly and continued its march forward.

With each step it took, the earth beneath its feet drew countless particles of soil onto it.

Quickly repairing the just-damaged Rock Armor and shield!

The God-Slaying Cannon was restrained!

Seeing such a scene, the Cultivators guarding the city all showed grave expressions.

Some even had fear in their eyes.

It’s known that the eighty-one God-Slaying Cannons in Weifa City are among the most essential weapons for defending the city, capable of firing the Light of Destruction that even a Golden Core True Person would not dare to face head-on.

Yet these formidable weapons were so easily resisted by the Evil Monster Giants.

Once they breach Weifa City, how many would be spared from calamity?

But fear aside, no one shrank or fled at that moment.

Because Weifa City was our last bastion; with the Teleportation Array unusable, everyone’s only chance of survival was to fight to the end—escape was an impractical fantasy.

Most importantly, inside the city was the high-tier Golden Core, the White Monarch True Person, and it wasn’t truly a time of despair yet!

Crack!

Rumbling thunder resonated above Weifa City, and vast expanses of dark clouds materialized, carrying a profound and mighty Mana aura, cleansing the skies and dispersing the previously lingering miasma.

The cloud mass rapidly congregated and expanded, ominously covering Weifa City and a wide surrounding area.

Torrential rain poured!

Beans-sized raindrops drenched the land, quickly soaking and softening the once-tough soil into mushy mud.

The Two-Headed Giants stepped down with a foot, and before they could pull out, they were deeply mired in it.

This caused their movements to become sluggish.

Not only that, but the rain seemed to contain some strange power, which had a corrosive effect on the Rock Armor attached to the bodies of the Two-Headed Giants, as well as the stone shields they held in their hands.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The God-Slaying Cannon fired for the third time.

This time, the protective effect of the stone shields and Rock Armor of the Two-Headed Giants was far less formidable than before.

Dozens of giants, along with their shields, were penetrated by the Light of Destruction, losing balance and falling to the ground.

Most importantly, because the earth had turned to swamp, their movements were greatly hindered, allowing the Cultivators controlling the God-Slaying Cannon to aim leisurely and strike the enemy with precision!

Cheers rose again, and the morale of the defenders surged anew.

Everyone steadied their stance and bombarded the army of Evil Monsters below the city walls, utterly disregarding the consumption of mana.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

At this moment, the Two-Headed Giants, a couple of hundred feet away from Weifa City, strenuously swung their arms to hurl the stone clubs they held.

The stone clubs weighed at least several thousand pounds, and their sonic booms were intimidating; their target was none other than the Defense Tower where the God-Slaying Cannon was located, with an overt intention.

However, at this time, the mana barrier of Weifa City shone brightly, its defensive power suddenly increased.

All the stone clubs flying towards the Defense Tower were deflected before they could get close.

The result was they fell outside the city, killing a large number of Evil Monsters!

Seeing this scene, the Two-Headed Giants roared furiously. They threw down the damaged stone shields in their hands and threw themselves forward, falling to the ground.

Their massive bodies quickly sank into the earth and soon disappeared from view.

And the Evil Monster army, which had suffered heavy casualties, began to retreat at this moment, some directly transforming into malicious mist and fleeing far away.

Inside and outside Weifa City, peace suddenly fell, as if the brutal battle that had just occurred were but an illusion.

The Cultivators couldn’t help but look at one another in bewilderment.

However, no one was uplifted by this, as everyone felt that things were far from over so simply.

What was most frightening, was the unknown!

And as the Cultivators’ hearts had just lifted, the ground suddenly experienced violent tremors.

“Look quickly!”

One Cultivator shouted with bulging eyes.

In front of the city gate, a thousand steps away, the soil heaved upward as if some enormous creature was darting beneath the ground at high speed, heading straight for Weifa City.

In just a few breaths’ time, an “Earth Dragon” a hundred feet long appeared before everyone’s eyes.

It appeared abruptly and moved incredibly fast, crashing into the city wall gate in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The collision could be described as earth-shattering. The city gate of Weifa City, despite being reinforced by a protective array, creaked and deformed inward from the impact.

The city wall itself shook violently, and the mana barrier was shattered.

The next moment, an enormous “centipede” emerged from the earth in front of the city gate, leaping into the air and perching above the city wall.

All the Cultivators on the wall were left dumbfounded.

This “centipede” turned out to be made up of linked Two-Headed Giants, with their limbs interwoven and connected to each other, their twisted heads deformed, opening their huge maws to spray out a sky-full of toxic venom!
