Chapter 1195

Lai Hantian was the most prized disciple of the late Lord Shen and a powerful figure in the Heavenly Sect.

Originally, Ao Donglai was a hostage left in the capital by Lord Shen. He was responsible for protecting Ao Donglai and serving the feudal lord.

When Lord Shen fell, the situation in the southern border collapsed, most of Lord Shen's disciples perished, and the rest were exhausted from running around.

Ao Donglai returned to the southern border to take charge of the overall situation with his brother, and Lai Hantian also returned after the death of the lord.

The arrival of a Heavenly Master finally turned the tide somewhat, and he wielded a long staff to quell the rebels.

The situation was gradually improving until recently when things took another turn for the worse.

"Hehehe, come on, even the Heaven-Shaking Pillar is nothing more than this!"

"Your clumsy technique is an embarrassment to the old monkey. Stop showing off."

"Can't hit it, just can't hit it."

A massive, dazzling pillar of light swung wildly and powerfully, sometimes soaring into the heavens, sometimes sweeping across all directions, creating ripples in the space it passed through.

Lai Hantian, a powerful expert from the Heavenly Sect who wields a staff, no longer confined himself to the form of the weapon, but has thoroughly mastered the essence of the staff.

This beam of light carries an all-encompassing 'righteousness'; wherever it passes, evil spirits retreat in fear, and those who stand in its way vanish into thin air.

However, his enemies were very troublesome.

The beam of light swept back and forth, but it wasn't targeting any terrifying or hideous monsters. Instead, it was targeting chubby babies holding hands and hopping around, laughing and joking with joy on their faces.

The chubby babies wore bibs shaped like lotus flowers and carp, and each had a different hairstyle: a peach-shaped head, double buns, or a high ponytail.

Strangely, when they open their mouths, each of them says one word at a time, and when they are arranged in order from beginning to end, they form a complete sentence.

Lai Hantian's staff technique was effortless and far exceeded the speed of sound. The children's words couldn't keep up with the speed of the staff, and they were hit intermittently, but they couldn't keep up with the children's speed.

The seemingly playful hopping and jumping prevented the beam of light from even glancing at it. It could have hit it in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, the distance widened to be farther than the horizon, making it seem like an eternity to reach it.

Lai Hantian gritted his teeth and remained silent, because although he seemed to be in a formidable position, he was actually entangled by the other party.

He couldn't waste his energy talking; he had to go all out. In reality, it wasn't him chasing the other person, but the doll that forced him to keep attacking.

Because if he stops, the other party will kill him without mercy.

As a powerful figure from the Heavenly Sect, he had not encountered many embarrassing moments when he came to shake the world, but this was the most serious one yet.

The number of chubby babies in front of you is not constant. Sometimes they shrink to a dozen or so, and sometimes they split into hundreds or thousands. But in essence, there is only one enemy.

This creature is named 'Arotong', a top-tier evil spirit, and one of the Queen of Enchantresses' seven most powerful adopted sons.

At some point, Arotong appeared in the southern border region. It clearly had the strength to kill Lai Hantian, but it kept toying with him.

At first, Hantian cursed and swore, but the other party just laughed. Later, Hantian realized that there was no chance of survival, so he focused on squeezing out all his strength in an attempt to kill the other party.

While dodging, Arotong chuckled, "Too light, too light, you're too gentle."

"If you don't satisfy me, I'll punish you. I'll drag out all your junior brothers and crush them one by one."

"Come to Hantian! The Southern Frontier is in chaos. Without you, it will surely become a living hell!"

Lai Hantian's eyes turned bloodshot. He roared and lunged forward, embracing the giant pillar of light and pushing it towards the fat baby's head.

This move, named "Ape Kneads Pillar and Dies," is a deadly move created by Lord Shen to achieve mutual destruction. It can often turn the tide even when facing enemies several times stronger than oneself.

However, the gap between Lai Hantian and A Luotong was too great, and this deadly move had no effect.

Arotong laughed even more heartily, squinting and leaping, suddenly splitting into tens of thousands of chubby babies, hand in hand, singing nursery rhymes, like an ant swarm instantly overwhelming the heavens. Then came the teeth-grinding gnawing sound...

In the sacred land of the Southern Frontier, the colossal pillar that Lord Shen transformed into after his fall stands firm, having weathered countless storms.

This place is a sacred site for the remnants of Lord Shen's forces, and also a forbidden area that rebel groups from all over the country avoid at all costs.

Anyone with ill intentions who attempts to rely on the scriptures will be driven insane by the overflowing intent of the fist and die on the spot.

However, at this moment, the giant pillar was surrounded by gruesome remains of flesh and blood.

The gruesome corpses, torn to pieces, all spoke of the tragic scene that had just unfolded.

"Cough cough, you bunch of demons, don't think you can be arrogant forever. After we die, other powerful beings will come and pulverize you."

Ao Donglai coughed up blood as the accountant trampled him underfoot.

They watched helplessly as the 10,000-meter-long "human snake" opened its mouth and swallowed a city, with tens of thousands of residents hidden inside falling into its belly.

In addition, hailstones the size of fists fell from the sky, shattering the mountains and rivers and leaving ice shards everywhere.

In the center of the clouds, a large-headed monster could be vaguely seen spitting out white dots, which turned into billions of hailstones upon landing.

There were also soft laughs and whispers all around, with three or four people talking and laughing.

Today, the human race in the Southern Frontier suffered a devastating blow. Dozens of calamity demons unleashed their devastating power, slaughtering them all. Our eldest brother, Lai Hantian, has been gone for a long time; it's safe to assume he has encountered an even more terrifying enemy.

Ao Donglai had already given up hope; even if the entire southeastern states mobilized, they couldn't stop these monsters.

He could only lament that the situation his master had left behind was ultimately destroyed and could never be restored.

"..."

Suddenly, a tidal wave of children's laughter erupted, their tiny feet pounding the ground. A tidal wave of chubby babies rushed in, hand in hand, carrying something atop their heads that was none other than... Lai Hantian, on the verge of death.

"Look what I've brought: Lord Shen's disciple, a powerful expert from the Heavenly Sect."

"If we knock down the Heavenly Pillar and release the Heavenly Maiden, wouldn't that be a suitable sacrifice?"

When Arotong entered the area surrounding the Heavenly Pillar, the other evil spirits did not stop him; instead, they made way for him.

Seeing this, Ao Donglai's heart sank even further; it was yet another top-tier calamity demon.

Upon seeing Lai Hantian, whose fate was unknown, he cried out in hope, "Senior Brother!"

Lai Hantian's eyes were tightly closed. His skin had been peeled off, most of his flesh had been eaten away, half of his body was a bloody mess and half of his bones were exposed, and he showed no reaction.

"Xiao Wu, was it really worth making this special trip?"

The giant serpent spit out white specks like raindrops—the digested human bones—which instantly turned into a torrential downpour that swept across the land.

In an instant, he had digested tens of thousands of residents, and the piles of bones he vomited were like mountains.

"Stop playing around, decipher the celestial pillar, and release the celestial maiden."

Upon hearing this, the accountant and the human smuggler laughed in unison, "Is it really necessary for us to come together for such a trivial matter?"

"Even if the old monkey were still alive, he wouldn't be a match for any of us, let alone now that he's dead."

"What? You actually want to deduce the Heavenly Pillar?"

Ao Donglai's eyes widened in fury. Tianzhu was like his mentor's tombstone, and seeing the other party's desecration, he wished he could rush over and fight to the death.
