Chapter 2840 A Race Against Time on Both Sides

In terms of head-on combat strength, it is no match for the Earth Mother, but since True Lord Tongming was determined to escape, the Earth Mother was truly unable to stop him.

"This guy is so slippery!" Every time the Earth Mother used Earth Escape to teleport in front of him, True Lord Tongming could dodge past her with lightning speed, his movements were exceptionally smooth.

He Lingchuan stood still, not chasing after them, with the little stone man beside him. "You need to learn how humans chase rabbits."

Mother Earth casually asked him, "What method?"

“A trap,” He Lingchuan said. “A human can’t outrun a rabbit unless it falls into a trap.”

Could they catch Tong Mingzhenjun in his trap? The Earth Mother seemed to be deep in thought.

"Hurry up," He Lingchuan urged it, "He'll be at the exit of the secret realm soon."

"It's so noisy!" Mother Earth complained. "Let's get started!"

Just over ten breaths later, True Lord Tongming led the Heavenly Demons past below a cliff. Above them were mountains weathered by time, each with its own unique shape.

If there were any other possibility, they wouldn't want to go this way. But they had no choice; it was the only way to the exit of the secret realm.

Sure enough, just as the Heavenly Demon passed by the bottom of the cliff, some mechanism was triggered, and the jagged mountain peaks above suddenly collapsed.

Those were massive rocks weighing hundreds of millions of tons, falling indiscriminately.

In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air around the demons, as if the end of the world had arrived. Then, the two largest and heaviest mountains crashed down with a deafening roar.

Tongming Zhenjun raised his hand and pointed, uttering the word "slow down".

The two boulders slowed their descent, and the slowing continued. Only after the Heavenly Demon left its shadow did the boulders crash into the ground with a deafening roar.

The demons quickened their pace, eager to leave this rocky wasteland as soon as possible.

But at that moment, the pile of rocks beneath their feet suddenly moved, transforming into all sorts of stone monsters that rushed towards them. Tong Mingzhenjun stretched out his right hand in a grasping motion, then twisted it sharply. All the formed stone monsters were pressed back to the ground by the suddenly increased gravity, unable to move.

But at that moment, the valley they were in also collapsed inward.

This place originally resembled a steamed bun that had burst open, or a large, open clam shell. Now, squeezed by an unknown force, it immediately began to shrink inward.

This is the power of tectonic plate movement. Even if True Lord Tongming were to possess immense magical power, he would be unable to intervene.

Seeing that all the Heavenly Demons were about to be trapped and become sandwiched, True Lord Tongming threw out his Immortal-Slaying Mace, forcefully creating a gap in the mountain above that was about to close, and was about to jump out with the Heavenly Demons.

Besides the gravity field, he also has profound cultivation, as well as numerous magical powers, spells and supernatural abilities. How could he be trapped by a giant stone clam?

But just as they were about to leap out of the gap, a shadow flashed above, and a huge fist slammed down. It was a fist made of solid rock, which perfectly sealed the gap.

The next instant, the entire stone clam closed completely, emitting a grayish-white light.

Once the barrier was formed, a small world of its own emerged inside the clam shell.

Once formed, the clam shell became incredibly strong. Tong Ming Zhenjun tried to break it twice with the Immortal Slaying Mace, but failed both times.

Even worse, He didn't have many more chances to try.

The Earth Mother and the Nine Nether Emperor both emerged from the stone wall—of course, they could move freely here.

The tiny pebbles in the crevices of the rock face emit a pale white light, which from a distance looks like stars embedded in the earth, or like fireflies filling the cave.

But Tongming Zhenjun had no interest in appreciating such a beautiful scene.

Trapped inside a stone clam, facing the combined forces of the Earth Mother and the Nine Netherworlds, no one can find it easy.

Panlong Secret Realm.

Two soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall and whispered a few words in Ling Jinbao's ear. Ling Jinbao's expression changed immediately. He didn't bother to cast a spell downwards and rushed down the city ladder in three strides.

Seeing this, He Yue followed closely behind.

The walls of Panlong City have hidden layers containing passageways and chambers. Ling Jinbao jumped into one of these chambers, which is the central control point of the mechanisms. The guardian beast sculptures must also be placed here before they can function.

This place can be considered the heart of Panlong City Wall. Yang Sheng sent several personal guards to stand watch here in case of any unforeseen events.

Then the unexpected really happened.

As soon as Ling Jinbao and He Yue arrived, Yang Sheng pointed ahead and said to them, "Look!"

There is a prominent stone carving of a dragon's head on this wall, exactly the same as the black dragon stone carving of the battle outside the city. Except that it is static here, not moving at all, and its mouth is slightly open, holding a round bead.

This bead is lustrous and translucent, like a luminous pearl.

This is the Dayan Heavenly Pearl.

He Lingchuan had previously handed the Dayan Heavenly Pearl to the Black Dragon Stone Carving, which was actually to embed it here.

The reason why Ling Jinbao's expression changed drastically when he saw it was because the originally smooth and flawless bead had seven or eight cracks on its surface.

The city wall trembled violently, probably because Jialoutian had struck the city gate again. Just as the two were watching, the orb made a soft cracking sound, and another crack appeared.

This is truly the most terrifying signal.

He Yue's face turned pale: "If Jia Loutian continues his attack, the bead will..."

This is bad! Ling Jinbao was equally distraught. The Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl was the base of the entire Panlong Secret Realm and the source of power for the Panlong City Wall. If even it couldn't withstand the attack…

Yang Sheng pressed his hand against the black dragon stone carving and murmured, "Go and take down that triangle."

He also tried to send his thoughts over, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea. The black dragon stone sculpture only obeyed its master's commands and remained unmoved by his instructions and requests.

Yang Sheng then asked Ling Jinbao, "Immortal Master, does the Emperor know about the situation here?"

“The Emperor has personally descended and is the master of this adversity. He should know everything about this place.” Ling Jinbao said quickly. “When we attacked Yujin City before, he knew as soon as we entered Shangguan Biao’s secret realm.”

I know, but I can't come, right?

He Yue murmured, "It's really too difficult to stop Jialoutian with just the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl and the Earth Mother."

He clenched his fists, angry at his own powerlessness.

Ling Jinbao was also very frustrated. Before today, he thought the combination of the Earth Mother and the Secret Realm was impregnable. However, Jialoutian taught him a lesson: there are always higher levels to reach!

The terror of the Great Demon King far exceeds human imagination.

The little stone man suddenly jumped in from outside and said to the three of them, "Jiuyou is also anxious. But he is busy killing Tongming Zhenjun and cannot come in time."

Tongming Zhenjun is also a Great Heavenly Demon. The battle between Jiuyou and Him is equally dangerous. What right does he have to shout for acceleration?

Before this, the Emperor had already slain a True Immortal and a Great Heavenly Demon. If even the Earth Mother was exhausted, how much more so was he?

As the three were discussing this, several more cracks appeared on the Dayan Heavenly Pearl.

These cracks were wider and deeper than the previous ones, with two of them even penetrating deep into the inside of the pearl.
