Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

”Taking the close-range defensive cannons head-on isn’t arrogance, it’s using this characteristic to absorb and convert Energy, thereby achieving an Energy output beyond the ritual’s limit.”

Xi Ya looked up at the sky, calmly making her judgment.

The Law of Space is no longer out of reach for Heroic Spirits, but it’s not a Skill everyone knows. Previously, Chu Xiu needed to rely on Garuda’s Wings to achieve brief traversals, and back in Peng City, Ella also used her innate Talent to briefly enter the Shadow Space.

So this kind of long-distance traversal Secret Technique must consume an enormous amount of Energy. Even as a Divine Envoy far stronger than Ordinary Heroic Spirits, with its Abilities sealed, it still has to rely on such methods to carry it out!

”The bad news is, the enemy we’re facing is a fighter with extremely strong combat sense. The good news is, its Abilities really are heavily restricted.”

Facing the rapidly approaching Lizard God Envoy, Xi Ya wasn’t the least bit flustered; her red lips merely parted slightly.

”Forbidden Sky.”

At the instant her Thought descended, an invisible ripple swept rapidly outward!

The Lizard God Envoy that was charging forward suddenly plummeted, as if it had been hit by a massive gravitational pull!

This vast Energy isn’t something gunpowder weapons can compare to. It was the Law of Forbidden Sky triggered by the focused hub several hundred meters high at the center of the gunship, directly mobilizing the core Energy of the entire gunship!

At the same time, one after another humanoid mecha five meters tall, their whole bodies gleaming with a silvery Metal sheen, rose into the air. These mecha wielded Great Shields in both hands, and on their backs they carried Sword Boxes in which twelve Flying Swords were slotted. Their Flying speed was extremely fast, seemingly completely unaffected by the Law of Forbidden Sky—no, more accurately, thanks to special construction and materials, they could instead move by harnessing the Energy of the Law of Forbidden Sky!

Furthermore, they were like one ”gravitational point” after another, wherever they passed, the Forbidden Sky Array would be further strengthened.

These were the Sky Iron Guard—the ultimate defensive line of the floating gunship!

Seventy Sky Iron Guards tightly encircled the Lizard God Envoy, making the pressure on it surge once more!

A flash of anger passed through the yellow-green vertical pupils of the Lizard God Envoy. Its figure flickered, appearing behind one of the Sky Iron Guards, then it slammed a fist forward!

That Guard reacted extremely fast. Its two Great Shields split apart, its jointless arms tracing an arc around its body as the shields recombined behind it. However, before the Lizard God Envoy’s extremely high Constitution, it was still pierced through in one blow without any suspense, falling downward like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

Yet in the vertical pupils of the Lizard God Envoy that had just taken out one Sky Iron Guard, there wasn’t the slightest hint of satisfaction; instead its anger grew, because it realized that within this Forbidden Sky Array, just maintaining its position in midair required consuming an enormous amount of Energy. Every punch it threw was like striking out underwater—the Energy used to offset the Law’s force was actually greater than the Energy behind the attack itself!

Under these circumstances, its already limited Energy would be burned through rapidly, and once it could no longer stay in the high sky, then no matter how strong its fleshly body was, it wouldn’t be able to pose the slightest threat to the floating gunship.

By then, the other side could just leisurely drift to the center and fire a shot at the Altar, and it could do nothing at all!

Cold light flashed in its eyes as the Lizard God Envoy’s figure spun sharply, slipping past the three Guards lunging toward it. Then the Power Burst around its body surged as it accelerated, turning into a streak of flowing light that shot toward a gap in the encirclement!

It intended to use its Speed advantage to shake off these hunks of iron and strike straight at the gunship!

The strength of a Heroic Spirit was laid bare; even with the Forbidden Sky Array present, these Guards whose bodily toughness barely reached King Tier and whose overall strength only matched General Tier still couldn’t keep up at all.

But watching the Lizard God Envoy charging in, Xi Ya showed not the slightest panic. On her ever-calm face instead appeared a cold smile, as though she’d been waiting for this moment for a long time.

”Crude beast, and you dare bully my race?”

”Bullying a civilization whose sprout has only just broken soil—what kind of skill is that? Let this lizard that sits and watches the heavens see the technological crystallization my Blood Crystal Civilization has forged over hundreds of thousands of years!”

Xi Ya’s left hand formed a sword seal, and in the next instant, all the Flying Swords in the Sword Boxes on the backs of the Sky Iron Guard unsheathed at once!

”Buzz!”

Countless Flying Swords rose into the sky, violently vibrating as they let out a Sharp buzz!

The Lizard God Envoy’s expression shifted slightly; instinctively, it sensed something was wrong.

Before it could sort out its thoughts, those Flying Swords had already vanished from their original positions, turning into streaks of afterimages that stabbed toward it from midair!
