Chapter 2069 - Encirclement!
“Still want to leave? Stay right there!”
When the two parties were around two thousand feet from each other, the Earth Official’s face chilled, and he unleashed the energy in his dantian.
“Limitless Earth!”
With a thunderous bellow, the halos beneath the Earth Official’s feet resonated, unleashing a gray-brown energy containing the domineering power of the mountains. These halos rapidly expanded and soon spanned tens of thousands of feet.
An invisible pull was exerted on the vast earth, causing the ground to shudder as rings of dust exploded into the air and began to resonate with the Earth Official’s halos. At this moment, the Earth Official’s bones began to crack, and his already immense strength swelled to inconceivable levels.
Bang!
A moment later, the earth for thousands of feet around the Earth Official sundered open. Countless bits of dirt, grass, and rocks were drawn out from the depths of the earth and were drawn by this invisible energy to converge on the Earth Official’s Stellar Energy.
Moreover, the Earth Official was a powerful Earth Element expert, and with Limitless Earth, he could draw on the power of the earth for the surrounding several dozen li. This massive amount of energy combined with the Earth Official’s Stellar Energy and the surge of soil and rock into a gray-brown flood that swept unstoppably toward that figure.
The Earth official had a sublime control over his power, and the Earth Official was confident that this blow could heavily injure his foe, but not to a lethal extent. In this way, he could still question his foe and extract secrets from him.
A basic level Subtle realm expert could not possibly contend against a peak Subtle realm expert. In truth, even if the other party was hiding their strength, the Earth Official was still confident in heavily injuring them.
But a moment later, the Earth Official was left surprised.
Bang!
A dazzling surge of golden light emerged from the other party’s body and slammed into the Earth Official’s attack.
The two streams of differently colored light collided like two ferocious beasts, the impact creating an explosive shockwave.
The golden light illuminated the surrounding tens of thousands of feet as brightly as day.
The Earth Official was even forced to take a step back by the strength of the explosion, his robes flapping around him.
“！！！”
“!!!”
“This is impossible!”
The Earth Official’s mind was in turmoil, and his eyes flew open in disbelief.
Limitless Earth was not his strongest move, but it was in the top three. Even the Sky Official would have had to focus to deal with it. But this other party was so strong that they could block the attack directly.
A peak Subtle realm expert!
The Earth Official understood the nature of his foe, and his face turned grave.
This man was not ordinary!
“Milord, it’s bad!”
As the two entered a stalemate, a man in black called out, running up from behind the Earth Official with a panicked expression.
“There’s been an incident in the rear! Venerable Sky Official has ordered Milord to return to guard the formation and the teleportation gate!”
That man in black was panting for breath and in a great panic as he rushed toward the Earth Official.
“What?”
The Earth Official paled at the man in black’s report.
The teleportation gate and formation were of utmost importance and could not be lost. The consequences for doing so would be unimaginable!
But the teleportation gate and formation were still being guarded by the Sky Official and Water Official. How could there be a problem?
Had there been some error? There were more besides this person, the other party using some other trick to lure away the Sky Official and Water Official?
But a moment later, the Earth Official’s eyes narrowed and turned icy cold.
“Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to try and fool this god!”
Without another word, the Earth Official sent a sundering bolt of energy from his finger at that man in black coming up from the rear.
He had been using Space Contraction this entire time to chase after the other party. They had both been moving so quickly that they had already covered several dozen li of distance.
This man in black had disguised his aura well, but did he really think that there would be someone in their base besides the Sky Official and Earth Official who could catch up so quickly and deliver this report?
“Haha, good! As expected of the Celestial God Organization! I knew I couldn’t deceive you! But I must still say that the time of your death has come!”
With loud laughter, the man in black punched, obliterating the Earth Official’s energy bolt. At the same time, his energy swelled to several dozen times its previous, instantly rising to the peak Subtle realm level!
Bang!
At the same time, Divine Embryo 2, with which the Earth Official had been in a stalemate before, unleashed dazzling golden light.
“Origin Immortal Art!
“Great Destruction Art!”
Divine Embryos 2 and 3, after drawing out the Earth Official, immediately used their strongest techniques to attack him from both sides!
“Not good!”
Despite the Earth Official’s power, even he could only grimace upon sensing two peak Subtle experts attacking him from two sides.
These two had clearly come prepared!
Their attacks were so abrupt and clean that he had no chance to respond.
“Thousand Fathom Cliff!
“Ceaseless Mountain Range!”
Though the Earth Official was caught off guard, he immediately summoned all his Stellar Energy and once more used his divine skills, drawing on the power of the earth over an even larger range.
As the power of the mountains and earth gathered around him, mighty peaks and mountains manifested around him.
Not only that, as the power of the earth poured into him, his body cracked and groaned as it grew into the size of a giant. On the surface of his body, gray-brown energy condensed into sturdy armor.
The body of a giant!
The armor of the earth!
These were two of the Earth Official’s abilities. They boosted his strength and conferred on him formidable defensive abilities.
While the Earth Official wasn’t the strongest of the three officials, he was definitely the most tenacious.
The other party was frighteningly strong and well-prepared, but he was at the peak of the Subtle realm and possessed his own domineering power. With his giant’s body and armor of the earth, he might not have been able to defeat two experts of the same level, but he still had a chance of escaping.
But for some reason, the Earth Official remained uneasy, a sense of danger hanging over his head.
Where did these people come from? What are they trying to do? Did they go through such great efforts merely so that they could lure me away and ambush me?
Countless thoughts ran through his mind. He felt as if there was some part of the riddle that he didn’t understand.
But at this moment, the attacks of Divine Embryos 2 and 3 arrived.
Boom!
Three streams of energy clashed. The attacks of the divine embryos were on par with his, and even though the Earth Official had gathered large amounts of energy from the earth and shaped them into barriers, he still felt an immense pressure.
Crack! The mountains around the Earth Official lasted only for a second before crumbling into bits and pieces.
Even the Earth Official couldn’t help but be shocked by the power of this pair.
What frightened the Earth Official the most was the voice that spoke into his ear.
“Now… you can die!”
It was a soft whisper, but it rang out like thunder in his ears.
Boom!
A moment later, there was a thunderous explosion. When the Earth Official was focused entirely on holding off the attacks of Divine Embryos 2 and 3, a divine figure suddenly shot out from the ground right beneath him.
“Origin Lance!”
Divine Embryo 1 had been waiting underground for some time, and at this moment, it unleashed the final and most powerful attack against the Earth Official.
His hand reached out behind him, and the Trayastrimsa Heaven’s dazzling golden pavilion transformed into a long spear that shot toward the Earth Official.
“Not good!”
Sensing the third storm of energy erupting from beneath him, the Earth Official turned ghastly pale, his entire body shivering.
At the final moment, he finally understood what that unease in his heart was.
The enemy’s plan was far more complete than he had imagined. They had no intention of letting him escape.
That figure hidden under the ground was their trump card!
Most frightening of all was that this third figure was also at the peak of the Subtle realm!
And this one appeared to be even stronger than the other two.
The Earth Official had been extremely confident in his strength, but not even he would dare say that he could contend against three peak Subtle realm experts at once.
Boom!
With one strike, the Earth Official’s armor was blasted to pieces by the Origin Lance.
Immediately afterward, Divine Embryos 1, 2, and 3 unleashed all their strength, using the moment the Earth Official was suppressed by the Origin Lance to barrage his body with universal energy.
