Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Using the Might of Dazhi to Counter the Toad's Power

To the south of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, seven figures suddenly appeared.

Leading them was Raven Daojun, carrying a large gourd on his back. Next was Nu Qinghui, her unparalleled beauty hidden behind a veil. The old Guishou was also present, along with three other members of the Longevity Realm. These three had solemn expressions and wore green robes, following closely behind Raven Daojun. The last member was a shirtless, muscular man.

The shirtless man had disheveled hair and an extremely unkempt appearance, paired with an ugly face that repelled onlookers. He occasionally glanced at Nu Qinghui with fleeting lecherous eyes, but she ignored him completely, causing him to raise his eyebrows in frustration.

The seven stopped outside the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, observing the peculiar sight before them.

From afar, the Lingxiao Heavenly Court radiated countless beams of golden light. Up close, it was shrouded in clouds and mist, giving it an ethereal, otherworldly appearance.

"Is this the formation of the Netherworld?" one of the green-robed Heavenly Extreme experts behind Raven Daojun frowned.

"No, it is a formation created by Nangong Sheng in the past," Raven Daojun's eyes darkened.

Amidst the clouds and mist, a giant gate carved from white jade stood prominently to the south. The gate bore three large characters:

Nantian Gate (Southern Heavenly Gate)!

In front of the Nantian Gate stood a large number of Dazhi guards, keeping watch.

"Who goes there? State your names!" a guard who appeared to be a general shouted from a distance.

"Nantian Gate? Hah, they really think this is the Heavenly Court," one of the green-robed Heavenly Extreme experts sneered.

"Raven Daojun, shall I test this so-called Heavenly Court?" the shirtless man asked rudely.

Observing the peculiar changes to the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, Raven Daojun nodded. "Very well."

Receiving Raven Daojun's approval, the shirtless man's face lit up with a pleased expression. He glanced at Nu Qinghui and then stepped forward as if to impress her.

"I asked you a question. Who are you?" the guard at the Nantian Gate shouted again.

The shirtless man sneered. In a flash, he transformed into a gigantic toad, a thousand feet tall. The toad's body was covered in toxic sores and was bright red. It landed with a thud near the Nantian Gate, glaring with its enormous eyes.

"Croak, croak, croak~~~!"

The toad's belly made a deep, rumbling sound that seemed to resonate within the hearts of the guards.

"Poof~~~!"

Some of the weaker guards spat blood, overwhelmed by the sound.

"Enemy attack~~~!"

A general's shout echoed as a rain of arrows shot out from the Nantian Gate, descending like a storm.

"Thump, thump, thump~~~!"

The arrows bounced off the massive toad's body as if deflected by an invisible force.

"Ah~~~!"

Many guards were injured by the rebounding arrows.

"By the Emperor's decree, Nantian Gate guards are to withdraw to the Renzi Barracks!" A voice suddenly declared from an unknown location.

"Yes!" The guards quickly obeyed, retreating.

Raven Daojun narrowed his eyes. Zhong Shan was well prepared?

"Croak, croak, croak~~~!"

The gigantic toad's belly continued to rumble, swelling larger with each croak. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, as if a massive explosion could occur at any moment.

Inside the Longevity Hall of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, Zhong Shan sat on his dragon throne with his eyes closed, tapping the armrest with his fingers. The court officials waited in silence. Suddenly, a white figure flashed in the center of the hall—Emperor Xuansha had arrived.

Finally, the nineteen-clawed golden dragon of fortune was enraged. Its nineteen claws grasped the sea of fortune clouds, its dragon whiskers danced, and its eyes glared fiercely. The imposing dragon horns drew in lightning from the sky, absorbing it into the dragon's head.

Suddenly, the nineteen-clawed golden dragon opened its massive mouth.

"Roar~~~!"

The nineteen-clawed golden dragon let out a thunderous roar.

The powerful dragon roar surged southward, creating overwhelming waves of spatial force directed at the Nantian Gate.

The dragon's roar was peculiar. Instead of shaking the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, it mysteriously stabilized it, halting the massive tremors. The citizens, instead of suffering further injuries, felt a warm energy entering their bodies, slowly neutralizing the poison and healing their eardrums.

"Boom~~~!"

The sound waves of the nineteen-clawed golden dragon clashed with Toad Lian's toxic sound waves halfway, creating massive spatial fissures. The shockwaves, unaffected by the spatial tears, intertwined and collided, each force trying to push the other back.

"Croak~~~!"

"Roar~~~!"

The two powerful sound waves clashed furiously.

Toad Lian's body grew smaller with each croak, its previously gathered strength nearly exhausted. Its eyes, blood-red with strain, showed a hint of panic.

Toad Lian's sound attack was nearing its end, while the nineteen-clawed golden dragon's attack was just beginning.

In the Longevity Hall, Zhong Shan suddenly raised his hand.

"Citizens of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, raise your right hands!" Zhong Shan commanded loudly.

The strange command echoed throughout the Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

Hearing Zhong Shan's voice, the citizens instinctively raised their right hands. As they did, they felt a sudden weakness, as if their strength was being drained.

At this moment, the sea of fortune erupted with radiant golden light. The nineteen-clawed golden dragon swelled, its body taut with power.

"Roar~~~!"

The nineteen-clawed golden dragon's roar suddenly amplified tenfold.

"Boom~~~!"

The point of collision between the two forces rapidly shot southward.

A massive spatial rift followed the path of the sound waves.

The powerful sound wave from the nineteen-clawed golden dragon, carrying Toad Lian's energy, surged towards the source of the croak, heading straight for Toad Lian.

Even before the sound waves arrived, a powerful air current blasted towards Toad Lian, creating a vast storm within the Nantian Gate.

The other six Heavenly Extreme experts quickly dodged the oncoming force, but Toad Lian, locked in place by the overwhelming impact, could only muster all its strength to resist.

"Croak~~~!"

Toad Lian's croak abruptly stopped.

"Boom~~~!"

The sound wave from the golden dragon struck.

With a thunderous crash, Toad Lian spewed blood from its seven orifices, its massive body sent flying a thousand miles before it finally came to a stop.

"Poof~~~!"

Toad Lian spat out a mouthful of blood, its internal organs severely injured, its spirit significantly weakened.
