Chapter 1292
The Abyss Heavenly Envoy Under Siege
Compared to the immensely colossal Abyss Heavenly Envoy, the rainbow light that was still accumulating power was incredibly small.
It was like a lighter struck in the wind, emitting a pathetic, trembling, and infinitesimally faint flame.
If one were to pull back to the highest viewpoint and encompass the entire Abyss Heavenly Envoy within their sight, it would appear as merely a slightly thicker beam of light. The difference in size would be akin to that between an adult and a pair of chopsticks.
Yet, as the Analysis Cannon aimed at it, the Abyss Heavenly Envoy let out an extremely intense roar, as if reacting to a stimulus.
Ignoring the pursuit of Calamity Red, it attempted to retreat directly.
At this moment, however, Calamity Red did not want to let it escape.
It pursued with all its might, unleashing its full power. In an instant, thousands of the Abyss Heavenly Envoy’s tentacles were severed, and a dragon’s breath as deep and crimson as a blood mist pierced through the remaining tentacles, crossing directly through the mirror!
This dragon’s breath appeared like a swirling, soft mist.
It spread out, resembling the deep red clouds of sunset.
But every speck of dust within it was equivalent to a sharp blade wielded by oneself.
It was like when a warrior’s skill reaches its peak, even wielding a mere wooden stick, they can execute the most exquisite swordsmanship; a thrown pebble could contain the sword energy of their full might.
And as this skill was infinitely enhanced, it became this attack.
As the dragon’s breath moved slowly, the billions upon billions of scarlet dust particles it contained, upon contact,
would be equivalent to a full-force slashing strike. And if this pervading smoke and dust directly contacted an individual, it would be equivalent to performing tens of billions of slashes every moment!
This was “Legion’s Breath”!
It was the “total assault” breath, refining the concept of “the entire army sets out” and using the dragon’s breath, a unique attack method of dragons, as its medium.
Within this single breath, an entire microscopic legion was contained!
They could converge into an all-consuming beam of fire by their own will, or disperse into transparent, invisible smoke.
They possessed true sentience, transforming into a moving cloud that would undoubtedly shred tentacles all the way to the Abyss Heavenly Envoy’s crystalline true body!
However, at this very moment.
A brilliant blade of light flashed. “Guinevere,” holding the Radiant Holy Sword, stood before Calamity Red, preventing the Red Dragon from advancing further.
This was precisely the moment when the Lord of War had dispatched its “legion,” a period when the pool was most vulnerable. At this point, Calamity Red no longer possessed the authority of a Pillar God. The God of War had temporarily reverted to Calamity Demon Dragon.
Yet, even now, Calamity Red still had a choice.
It could choose to either launch an even fiercer counterattack against the Great Abyss, creating an opportunity for the Geometric Heavenly Envoy to slay the Great Abyss here; or allow the Great Abyss to return and deal with the Geometric Heavenly Envoy and the Grey Heavenly Envoy, reclaiming its strength to simultaneously confront the remnants of the “Crown” and the dragon’s soul, and thus return the situation to the most favorable state
In that case, the Great Abyss might be somewhat disheveled, but it would ultimately be able to defeat the Geometric Heavenly Envoy.
And after reclaiming all its power, it could easily defeat the Knight Heavenly Envoy and Vothigern. Then, the situation would revert to one of confrontation between itself and the Abyss Heavenly Envoy.
Did this even need a choice?
Calamity Red, with almost no hesitation, scoffed and gave its answer.
Compared to a young Heavenly Envoy like Lancelot, it feared the Abyss Heavenly Envoy more. As the corpse of a Forbidden Pillar God, the Great Abyss was filled with residual Pillar God power. Rather than a Heavenly Envoy, the Abyss Heavenly Envoy was closer to an old-fashioned Pillar God who could no longer use their divine authority and had completely lost its mind.
Now, to have the opportunity to thoroughly defeat it, with the only price being its own engagement with Vothigern and the Knight Heavenly Envoy.
This was not a battle that demanded victory; it merely required “not to lose.” Because the power of the Seventh Origin River had also been infused into that crimson breath along with the curse of “invincibility.” It no longer bore the immense pressure of “having to win,” enduring the curse of “survival of the fittest” inherited from the Sky-Devouring Beast.
Therefore, there was no need to compare these two choices at all.
Did it mean that because it had lost its Pillar God power, it was weaker than Lancelot?
Lancelot was once Arthur’s follower and had only become a Heavenly Envoy for a single month!
And Vothigern was even more so. It had already been defeated once by Calamity Red, its Pillar God power stripped away. Now, even if a remnant soul remained, it had lost its Pillar God power, and because it was no longer a Pillar God, its authority power had to be converted into war power to be used normally, directly suppressing half of its Energy Level.
And Vothigern and itself were mutually half bodies.
Now, the two people before it: one was an already half-crippled Vothigern—without Pillar God authority, without Pillar God power, without the abilities of Heavenly Envoy Fragments, just a large Phantom Demon. Even its Energy Level was suppressed by half.
And the other person was merely Arthur’s follower. They didn’t even possess the ability to become an independent Heavenly Envoy, requiring two souls to merge just to barely meet the minimum standard of a Heavenly Envoy.
These two entities joining forces, and it only needed to fight to a draw.
If Calamity Red was afraid, it would mean its courage had wavered!
“Come, let me see your courage.”
Calamity Red’s voice rumbled, even filled with laughter and a hint of ferocity: “Let me see your courage to challenge me!”
The crimson dragon roared.
On the other side, as the four magic circles of the Geometric Heavenly Envoy were fully lit, they spun rapidly, gradually merging into one.
Mana was drawn, runes were usurped.
All “spells” were meaningless before it; no “spell” attack could prevent this spell from activating.
Even the forbidden spell instinctively initiated by the Abyss Heavenly Envoy was disintegrated the moment it took form. The colossal magic circle hadn’t even fully formed before it turned into streaks of light and merged into the crystal cannon.
The magic circle revealed a massive pentagram—Wind, Earth, Water, Fire, and the hypothetical element “Aether” as the harmonizer, which was the original element before the division of light and darkness, each occupying a corner.
A slender rainbow light transformed into five thicker rainbow lights!
As the pentagram magic circle spun at high speed, these five red lights became five churning blades of light.
It instantly shattered the tentacles and pierced directly into the crystalline “Great Whale”!
The tentacles exploded and scattered upon contact, like balloons bursting when blown up.
The light drill advanced unimpeded, tearing through countless tentacles, reaching the inner core protected by them!
The Abyss Heavenly Envoy’s form resembled a giant whale’s head connected to an octopus’s tentacles, or perhaps linked to a transparent jellyfish with thousands of tentacles.
However, that so-called “head” was actually the body of the Forbidden Pillar God.
After the “Forbidden” lost its life, its flesh and blood sprouted uncontrollably, transforming into a mouth that devoured everything. This was why the Great Abyss craved sacrifice—its own incompleteness drove it mad, thus desperately seeking to replenish nutrients and restore completeness.
If it devoured enough spirits, it might even grow a new head.
This was the essence of the “Forbidden” path, and precisely the unique power of the Samsara Heavenly Envoy in the past—the Ouroboros Ring and the Endless Knot. The snake needed to eat its own body to grow an equivalent amount of body.
However, even with abundant mortal souls, it was impossible to compensate for the spirit and power that a Pillar God lacked. Not even the portion represented by the Amber Heavenly Envoy, which served as its head, could be replenished.
Because of this, the Abyss Heavenly Envoy was eternally hungry and eternally mad.
And now, this rainbow sword, rotating like an electric drill, shone with radiance in the deep, dark sea.
Viewed from a distance, it looked like a colored line piercing through the head of the giant sea monster.
And after a brief silence, the seawater churned and exploded!
The bombardment from the seafloor towards the surface directly blew up the entire sea!
In an instant, a massive volume of water poured onto the entire Anxi!
It looked like a downpour, but in reality, it was splashed water. Heavy water smashed onto the ground piece by piece, even submerging and wetting the desert, with the seeped water forming streams.
Even the Abyss Heavenly Envoy’s crystalline whale head, under the bombardment of the Analysis Cannon, was covered in cracks within only a few seconds!
And at this moment, Calamity Red’s full-power strike also arrived!
