Chapter 2686 The Aura Reappears
A violent obsession resides within the giant axe, experiencing the entire battle unfold.
As for Liqi, like Jinghong, it also felt that spiders were aliens.
However, it is also adept at cause and effect, and can sense the causal constraints of the human race from the other party, which is why it does not care so much.
Like the spider's ability to capture cause and effect, the ritual implement, not being in its original world, is not very good at capturing cause and effect.
It can track down and kill along the causal line. Now that it has been repaired to near perfection, it can also be killed using projection.
However, there are more than just one or two Out-of-Body Demons; with so many clones, chasing them down would be extremely difficult.
The volatile obsession was clear: Jinghong's ability to hunt down clones was inferior to that of the ritual implements.
And another very important point is time. Han Li has been maintaining a large-scale field with extremely high intensity.
True Venerables all possess profound foundations, but it also depends on the context—the field that Han Li is currently maintaining has a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers!
This battle is a sure victory, but everyone is thinking... about fighting a war of annihilation!
It's not that they have any obsession; the key is that they need about a year to completely dismantle the entire world.
If we can't kill all our opponents, and our clones are causing trouble outside, who knows what kind of trouble they might bring.
Qu Jianlei glanced at Han Li but didn't ask how much longer she could hold on.
He was confident that as long as he asked the question, the handsome young man would absolutely guarantee that he wouldn't have to consider his opinion!
Therefore, he could only say, "Seniors, you two should make your move first, and then I will call upon True Venerable Qingkong."
The Grand Protector was always in charge, so his position was relatively relaxed, but it wasn't just for show.
When he received Qu Zhenzun's divine message, requesting him to participate, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
This is a fight to the death, and he can no longer concentrate on perceiving the abnormality of his surroundings!
However, since they were all working towards the same goal, there was nothing more to say, and he released the colorful butterflies.
The butterfly's form instantly swelled to tens of thousands of kilometers in size, more than ten times larger than a spider.
Its mouthparts, its long beak, had become a large passage.
A powerful suction force emanated, and countless black wisps surged wildly into the passage, even forming a vortex.
At this moment, the True Venerable Riding Dog had already eliminated the few remaining demonic energy clusters. Seeing this, he asked whether he should enter the fray.
Although he was subtly excluded from the core, he still clearly understood the implications of Qingkong's participation in the war.
"Go deal with the demonic energy clusters within the realm," Qu Jianlei said calmly.
The scattered demonic energy within the realm should not cause too much of a disturbance.
The clones that had left their bodies inside had already been eliminated, and many of the Heavenly Demons were even still fighting amongst themselves.
However, Qu Jianlei did not dare to completely underestimate the situation. The current demonic calamity must have been caused by these scattered demons.
It is still necessary to be lenient in assessing the enemy, and this is not because he underestimates the True Venerable Riding Dog.
As he issued the order, the giant axe and the black knife abandoned their previous tactics, and their killing intent instantly intensified.
The two divine weapons began to move rapidly, a stark contrast to their slow and half-dead state just two days ago!
Their killing power has not only increased, but they are also specifically designed to target the Out-of-Body Demon.
Such a massacre made the Heavenly Demon instantly realize that his opponent had changed his strategy!
Of course, the inconsistent performance of the two divine weapons was further proof of the treachery of the human race, but the demons were too lazy to consider such matters.
The best course of action now is to survive!
The fate of the Sky-Piercing True Venerable greatly accelerated the progress of the battle.
The colorful butterflies are incredibly powerful, truly befitting the material foundation of a near-divine being.
However, not long after, Xiaoyou, who was cutting through the world, asked, "Do you need my help to hunt down the cause and effect of the Astral Projection?"
She could tell that the Great Protector's butterflies could also carry out a moderate amount of causal killing, but the effect was not as good as the giant axe ritual artifact.
She also possesses methods of karmic retribution, confident that she is at least as skilled as the Five-Colored Butterfly, which is why she asked the question.
"Focus on your work," Qu Jianlei replied casually. "This kind of cutting is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind."
"If you're really worried, just help us keep things under control. What battle doesn't have reserves?"
Despite the intensity of the current battle, neither side has actually revealed any significant trump cards.
“Okay, boss,” Xiaoyou actually smiled slightly and changed his form of address.
Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly, and the Compass of Creation faintly appeared between his brows. "To eat or not to eat?"
The compass still didn't react, which made it very clear that it had been targeting the decaying aura when it dealt with the Heavenly Demon!
"They're all the bosses..." Qu Jianlei sighed and shook his head helplessly. Why can magic weapons be capricious, but true masters have to work themselves to the bone?
Before long, Jinghong killed another Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon.
This time, however, Black Blade seemed to be provoked by something, and even after stirring up a large mass of black demonic energy into nothingness, he was still not satisfied.
It continued to slash and kill within the original area of the demonic energy, as if it had lost its way.
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei looked at it strangely, and directly connected with the irritable obsession, "Senior, what's this?"
“This guy’s intelligence is lacking,” the irritable obsession replied helplessly. “His murderous aura is too strong; it feels like it’s damaged his brain.”
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but twitch his lips. "It needs to have a brain first, right?"
"Huh?" The next moment, a female voice suddenly rang out, "Xiao Qu, aren't you really that useless?"
"Ancestor, you drive this car so well..." Qu Jianlei's words stopped abruptly as he felt a slight vibration from the Creation Compass.
"Heh, this insect dares to call itself a Great Ruler?" the woman's voice said disdainfully.
"It's not as good as your knife, hmm... the compass is not bad either."
Qu Jianlei paused for a moment before silently asking, "It appeared?"
“I’ve roughly narrowed it down,” the woman’s voice replied leisurely. “Don’t mention it casually, don’t even entertain the thought.”
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Miss," Qu Jianlei replied calmly. "But I'm curious, why Jinghong?"
The spider didn't sense it, which might be an exception, but the compass's reaction is always a beat slow, which is not right, is it?
And the giant axe hadn't even noticed... How can this be explained?
“Perhaps it’s because it’s pure enough,” the woman’s voice replied leisurely. “The tolerance for ritual objects can sometimes be quite high.”
Qu Jianlei understood; the ritual implements could tolerate the deathly stillness—because no matter what world it was, it would eventually perish.
Black Knife, on the other hand, would consider this aura, which should not have appeared, to be malevolent!
The Creation Compass was discovered a step too late because it lacked aggressiveness and therefore had less initiative.
Since that's the case, there's no need to hesitate any longer. "Shall we send out the compass?"
"It's time for it to make its move," the woman's voice said calmly. "Its cause and effect are already online. Do you really think... it can still hide?"
Previously, in the void outside the Cangwu Realm, the compass had absorbed a great deal of decaying energy.
If even this cause and effect cannot be discovered, then the other party's identity as a Great Ruler is rather fake.
However, the next moment, something both funny and absurd happened.
The Compass of Creation kept circling between Qu Jianlei's eyebrows, becoming more and more obvious, but it just wouldn't leave!
Qu Jianlei was puzzled at first, then realized that this was the Compass of Creation, which knew best the importance of things!
What could be the reason this person isn't showing up? They must have sensed danger—the waters here are too deep!
Qu Jianlei originally wanted to keep this discovery a secret, but Han Li was too close to him.
"Hmm?" A cold glint flashed in the handsome young man's eyes. "Boss, this compass of yours doesn't seem to be behaving properly."
"What a load of rubbish, everyone's making fun of me," Qu Jianlei sneered. "Hurry up and make your move, kill as many as you can."
He said this openly, and some people didn't understand, but some people really did.
Xiaoyou even asked, "Aren't we going to go all the way and wipe them out?"
"I'd like to, but it seems quite difficult right now," Qu Jianlei said seriously. "Everyone's in a rush!"
That sounds perfectly reasonable; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to say it so openly.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyou asked again, "If that's the case, why not cut faster? It's taking too long."
“Then let’s speed things up,” Qu Jianlei replied calmly. “I feel like it’s not easy to stay here any longer.”
Upon hearing this, even Qingkong sensed something was amiss. He released his divine sense, "I object! We agreed to cut off more!"
“Then you can stay here and cut,” Qu Jianlei said decisively. “We agreed to stand together through thick and thin, why are you trying to sabotage us now?”
"You're the one who went back on your word, aren't you?" Qingkong sneered. "Don't rely on your high cultivation level and old age..."
Oh no… Qu Jianlei touched his forehead in annoyance. He had used too much force!
How could the king not know his own age?
The Grand Protector clearly didn't know what was going on; he only guessed that something was wrong.
Of course, some improvisation is inevitable, but... we can't just improvise, can we?
“The oldest one is the Spider King,” the Great Protector, a seasoned veteran, noticed the off-key atmosphere and quickly changed the subject.
He said solemnly, "If we're talking about standing together through thick and thin, I'm following the Spider Lord, but you're still a bit lacking, fellow Daoist!"
"Hmm?" The spider, who was lying there digesting its food, looked around upon hearing this. "Who called me... wait, this aura?"
"They're gone," a woman's voice echoed leisurely in Qu Jianlei's mind. "Heh, they're really cautious enough."
Qu Jianlei remained silent for a few moments before speaking, "Everyone, strengthen our defenses and try to leave this place within three months!"
Everyone knows that it should still be about a year after the world is completely divided, but shouldn't the pace be accelerated more quickly now?
“I have reservations,” the Grand Protector said with a dark expression.
He had already guessed that he had probably messed up his performance, but life had to go on, right?
Now all he can do is continue playing the role, but he can't go too far!
Unfortunately, his performance didn't generate much buzz; instead, the reactions of the black knife and the giant axe attracted more attention.
The speed of the two divine weapons increased again, and their output also increased significantly, making them seem unstoppable.
