Chapter 471: Chu Xiangyu! (1)
The Demon Frog, with half its body, devoured a Venerable with incredible ferocity, igniting the wrath of the civilization behind the dam.
In an instant, eight Venerables awoke, their imposing auras soaring to the sky, enveloping the heavens and shrouding the Demon Frog, Li Qingshan, and Xia Wuji.
The cosmos was above, civilization below.
In the middle zone, various rays of divine light danced, flickering intermittently, as if a terrifying presence was chanting sutras, seated deep within the cosmos, suppressing the Human World.
At that moment, from the depths of the civilization behind the dam, an ancient well emerged, emitting a brilliant light, shooting into the sky, evolving into nine layers of radiance, like nine dazzling galaxies, making everything else lose its luster, causing the universe to instantly dim.
This ancient well was glowing.
As soon as the ancient well appeared, the Demon Frog’s expression changed, and it immediately closed its mouth, trying to prevent something.
But it was too late.
The brilliant light from the ancient well spread out, capturing the primordial spirit of the already fallen Venerable.
Lawson’s primordial spirit had been devoured by the Demon Frog, chewed, and shattered beyond the possibility of resurrection.
But this ancient well defied the natural order, drawing Lawson’s primordial spirit out from the Demon Frog’s mouth, leaving the Demon Frog completely powerless to resist, or perhaps not knowing how to.
“How is this possible? Lawson was thoroughly killed, yet he can still come back to life?” Xia Wuji’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Qingshan, calm and composed, observed and murmured, “It’s the Rebirth Spring!”
On the dam, the Demon Frog had told Li Qingshan that in the past, the Ancient Celestial Court, led by the Kunlun Immortal, had launched a global attack, pushing the civilization behind the dam to the brink, with several Venerables perishing. Logically, even if the civilization behind the dam won, it would be a pyrrhic victory, taking countless ages to restore its former power.
But after the great battle, the civilization behind the dam recovered as if nothing had happened, with fallen Venerables revived, unaffected.
This was all due to the Rebirth Spring.
The Rebirth Spring could house the primordial spirits of the dead, quickly nurturing and repairing their bodies, bringing them back to life.
This was the core of the civilization behind the dam.
At this moment, Venerable Lawson, devoured and chewed by the Demon Frog, with his primordial spirit shattered and beyond revival, was being saved by the Rebirth Spring.
Even though the Demon Frog had closed its mouth in time, trying to obliterate Lawson’s primordial spirit, it was to no avail.
The Rebirth Spring transcended the power of a Venerable; the Demon Frog could not stop it.
“We must destroy the Rebirth Spring and deprive them of their ability to revive. If they died in battle, they would truly be dead. Only then will the civilization behind the dam be destroyed.” Li Qingshan watched calmly, ignoring the other eight Venerables. His eyes were fixed on the Rebirth Spring.
That was the core.
If this thing wasn’t destroyed, there was no possibility of winning the war.
Demon Frog snorted as well and said, “Rebirth Spring. I never would have thought that you, merely a first-level civilization at best, would possess such a treasure.”
“This is our destiny. You cannot kill us. I spared your life before, but now it seems you not only show no gratitude but also harbor resentment. Then, please, meet your end,” declared one of the Venerables, surrounded by a halo of light that obscured his features. Behind him, nine halos of light overlapped, appearing extremely formidable. Each halo seemed to contain countless worlds.
“The Lord of Light Halos, even though you were once shattered by me, you dare to interfere now?” The Demon Frog snorted coldly, revealing the identity of the other.
“At that time, circumstances were different. Indeed, I was not your match back then, but now, after millions of years, the balance of power between us has shifted!” declared the Lord of Light Halos confidently.
“Stop talking nonsense. I know you fear death. Even with Rebirth Spring, resurrection comes at a cost. If you surrender my other half, I might spare your life. Lord Demon Frog is still quite merciful,” said the Demon Frog, its appearance fierce but claiming benevolence.
“We, the Nine Great Venerables of the Fourth World, stand here. Dare you to speak such audacious words?” retorted a middle-aged man at the side of the Lord of Light Halos.
“Demon Frog, you managed to break free from the chains of order, and instead of fleeing, you dare intrude into our Fourth World. It’s tantamount to seeking death,” another self-respecting figure said coldly.
The civilization behind the dam was called the Fourth Civilization!
“Your other half has already helped us greatly. Having this half as well would be beneficial. If Rebirth Spring could devour you, the celestial beast, it would undoubtedly grow substantially again. For us, that would be very beneficial,” the just-resurrected Five Venerables stared coldly at the Demon Frog, and the leader, an elderly figure, salivated at the thought of the Demon Frog’s half-body.
“M*therf*cker,” cursed the Demon Frog inwardly. Surrounded by the eight Venerables, it felt immense pressure.
At this moment, the Demon Frog looked at Li Qingshan and telepathically asked, “Kid, didn’t you say you were going to break the dam to deal with them?”
“I’ve already sounded the horn of war for you and even dealt with one of the Venerables. Though I killed him, with Rebirth Spring, he hasn’t truly died and will soon resurrect. Seize the opportunity,” urged the anxious Demon Frog.
Though arrogant and confident, believing itself to be a unique existence in the universe with formidable power, when it came down to it, the Demon Frog wasn’t sure it could handle eight opponents at once.
Li Qingshan remained calm and said confidently, “They will appear soon.”
Xia Wuji listened, looking surprised at Li Qingshan. “We haven’t even seen Immortal Northstar yet. How can you be sure they’ll show up?”
