Chapter 505 The Magic Cannon, Lost and Found
Si Que's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
The gale layer that had been weakened to the extreme and almost annihilated was not only restored to its original state as the Great Xia World leaped to the Middle Thousand World, but also became even more fierce and indestructible.
Layers of fierce winds, like thick fog, completely obscured her vision; only her divine sense could barely penetrate the barrier.
At this moment, cracks appeared in the demonic energy chains, and some chains even broke off silently.
A storm raged in Si Que's heart.
All these changes were by no means accidental.
From the moment the "Qingyang Secret Palace" appeared in the world, everything began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
However, Si Que cannot reveal this matter on her own initiative, otherwise she will be immediately questioned. The Mother Nest paid such a high price, not to obtain a fake secret realm.
However, she comforted herself that there was still a chance to redeem herself. If she could capture Chu Lengyu, there was still room for redemption.
On the other hand, the second step of the Nine Cauldrons' integration was finally completed.
Both Danzhu and the emperor felt a great sense of relief.
The Great Xia world has advanced to the Middle Thousand Realm, becoming increasingly stable and profound, transforming from fragile boulders into a majestic mountain that is difficult to shake.
The speed at which the demonic chains were pulled also slowed down. Although the process was still irreversible, it gave them a chance to catch their breath.
Once the emperor calmed down a bit, he realized that his back was soaked with sweat and his clothes were clinging to his skin.
Although his face showed signs of exhaustion, his eyes shone with an unyielding hope.
Danzhu recorded everything that happened in this place into a jade talisman, and then used a secret method to send a message to Tang Qingying.
But just as the message was sent, a sudden sense of foreboding arose in her heart, and an ominous feeling settled over her.
Si Que had made up her mind: if she couldn't have it, she would destroy it. The void behind her twisted, and a crack appeared.
From the crack, a huge cannon barrel slowly emerged, shrouded in demonic energy, its fluctuations terrifying.
The cannons were aimed directly at the capital city, the place where the earth's spiritual energy converged.
All life in the world seemed to freeze at that moment.
"A magic cannon! It's such a powerful weapon of the demon race!" Danzhu exclaimed, his eyes flashing with disbelief as he revealed the origin of the object.
The Magic Cannon, similar in function to the Immortal Ship's main cannon, can gather the demonic energy of heaven and earth and condense it into a single strike, its power enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
If it were to strike, the entire area within a thousand miles of the capital city would be reduced to nothing, and countless lives would be lost.
The emperor's face turned ashen instantly. He knew he had underestimated the demons' madness and was filled with remorse.
But then he thought that every time the demons used up one of their trump cards, the threat to Chu Lengyu would naturally decrease by one.
However, he had no time to think about it at the moment, because the magic cannon had begun to charge, and black demonic energy surged out like a tide, gathering at the core of the cannon muzzle, with an overwhelming pressure.
The emperor had a sudden thought and felt a subtle connection between himself and the earth's veins.
The earth's veins surged, and golden light shimmered.
Ancient runes flowed across the nine cauldrons, their golden light growing ever brighter, eventually coalescing into an indestructible golden barrier that stretched across the capital city, determined to block that devastating blow.
The earth trembled, the weather changed abruptly, and a sense of impending doom filled the air.
The energy gathered by the magic cannon finally reached its peak at that extremely tense moment.
It emitted a deafening roar and instantly bombarded the Great Xia world, heading straight for the capital city.
If this attack were to land, the Great Xia World would suffer a severe blow, and its newly advanced world level would be on the verge of collapse, facing the danger of falling back to its previous state.
"boom!"
A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.
The cannon's fire collided violently with the Nine Cauldrons Barrier, unleashing a blinding light.
Gold and black, clashing sharply, seem like an ancient and eternal duel between light and darkness.
Under the fierce attack of the magic cannon, fine cracks began to appear on the Nine Cauldrons Barrier.
From within the earth's veins, streaks of golden light surged forth, striving to maintain the integrity of the barrier.
However, the energy of the magic cannon was too immense, and the cracks on the Nine Cauldrons Barrier gradually widened, spreading like a spider web, and it looked like it was about to be completely destroyed.
Danzhu had no choice but to lend a hand, but she was not skilled in combat and could only hold them off for a while.
A resolute determination to fight to the death flashed in the emperor's eyes.
He knew that even with the favor of heaven and earth, he could not truly control the earth's veins, let alone fully wield the power of the Nine Cauldrons.
If the magic cannon is recharged, the Nine Cauldrons Barrier will collapse, plunging the entire Great Xia world into an abyss of no return.
Si Que stood in the void, his gaze as cold and sinister as a venomous snake, staring intently at everything below.
"A mere ant trying to stop a chariot is overestimating its own strength."
"Magic Cannon, charge to full power!" Si Que shouted, his expression revealing a ruthless madness.
The muzzle of the magic cannon flashed with a dark light once more, converging into an even more powerful and terrifying demonic energy that caused the heavens and earth to change color.
"This is bad, we must stop her!" The emperor's expression changed drastically.
We must not let this attack land.
"boom!"
The magic cannon roared once more, blasting towards the Nine Cauldrons Barrier.
This attack was far more powerful than before, carrying a devastating force.
The entire Great Xia world was shrouded in darkness; the sky and earth lost their color, and the sun and moon lost their light.
The emperor's expression was extremely grave.
The power of the Great Xia alone is simply insufficient to withstand the devastating attack of the magic cannon.
At this critical moment of life and death, he quietly turned to the most powerful page of his diary.
That was his last trump card. Even if it was wasted, he couldn't care less. After all, he could only talk about the future after getting through the immediate crisis.
At that very moment, mysterious starlight suddenly lit up the sky above the Great Xia world.
These starlight converged to form a giant star chessboard, its surface shimmering as if it were a reflection of the countless stars in the sky.
Si Que froze, her mind almost frozen before the starry chessboard.
Her eyes were filled with terror; she had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.
The Taoist priest, who was playing chess, simply placed a piece, and a sword flew out from his sleeve, instantly destroying the magic cannon.
Immediately afterwards, with a gentle wave of his hand, the demonic energy already fired by the magic cannon was completely shattered and instantly vanished.
A powerful pressure permeated the entire Great Xia world. Every demon felt a suffocating pressure, as if a huge force was choking them. Those with insufficient cultivation could not even withstand the pressure and exploded on the spot.
For the first time, Si Que felt death was so close to him.
Her scalp felt like it was going to explode, but she couldn't even blink, and could only stare at the sky in despair.
However, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The starlight vanished in the next instant, and the Taoist disappeared as well, as if he had never existed.
The surrounding constellations, which sensed this, were completely baffled.
The Purple Emperor clearly resides in the Central Heaven, eternally unchanging. What was that fleeting aura that just vanished?!
The emperor felt very satisfied to have witnessed this scene firsthand.
Danzhu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
She gazed at the empty sky, her heart filled with awe and bewilderment.
At the same time, Tang Qingying felt a gentle and pure power quietly flowing into her body.
This power was gentle yet immense, and even her body was enveloped in a faint golden light.
"This is... the power of merit?" Tang Qingying was shocked, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
Having cultivated for many years, she was well-versed in the mysteries of the world, and the power of merit was one of the purest powers in the world.
On the lotus platform, petals began to sprout anew, radiating a soft glow.
After carefully sensing it, Tang Qingying suddenly realized the truth.
It turns out that along her journey, she helped the Great Xia world resist the demons, saving countless lives from annihilation.
What is even more commendable is that she also contributed to the advancement of the entire Great Xia world, giving the creatures on this land the opportunity to enjoy a more prosperous future.
This act of great benevolence and virtue earned the most generous gift from heaven and earth—the power of merit.
This is Heaven and Earth's recognition of her, a reward for her contributions to the Great Xia world.
Looking at the purple-gold lotus of merit that had regained its brilliance, Tang Qingying was filled with emotion.
Every drink and every bite is preordained.
