“General!”

One of the Sky Demon champions stepped up and answered, “We have been ambushed by an Earthling human… both Marshal Prodo and Marshal Mogo have fallen.”

“What?”

General Bodo’s tone changed at that as he exclaimed in surprise. “How could that be… Her Highness had relayed information before her death that the strongest human was merely Golden Pellet! Could their slumbering elites have come forth?’

“No, no…”

“The demon lord would certainly had sensed it if those elites had awakened and certainly would not send us here to die!”

Silence ensued.

It was only after a dozen seconds had passed that the Sky Demon elite who had spoken just now added hesitantly, “The one who attacked us was a True Child cultivator, general, and…his methods are rather peculiar, first instakilling Marshal Prodo and then cooking Marshal Mogo to death with a premium-grade soul weapon.”

“Though he is a full-fledged True Child, his ability is frightening and he possessed many premium-grade soul weapons, even casting a horrific Sword Array. We were unable to take him even with our combined technique.”

General Bodo appeared stunned at that, but soon relaxed and laughed out loud. “He is but a True Child. He would have a hard time stirring waves no matter how stronger he gets, and we shall walk all over Earth as long as their slumbering elites do not come forth.”

“Relay my orders, have the legion hasten their advance.”

With a sonorous cry, Bodo’s terrible aura that could match a full-fledged Yuan Spirit’s burst forth. He reached out his hand and grasped the blood axe behind him as he strode into a dash, leading the charge with a raging bellow, “Brothers, with me! To Earth!”

“The demon lord has decreed that he would personally award everyone according to their accomplishments!”

General Bodo was about to personally clear the path for the Sky Demon legion.

As he charged, he was roaring in fury, his stirring words leaving most of the legion and spurring them on. The legion soon filled the entire Stargate, shrieking like locusts as they poured forth.

The legion of 500,000 formed a long dragon that stretched over dozens of miles.

***

Outside the Stargate, Jiang He, who had been observing the Stargate with his spirit all along had a twinkle in his eye…

“They’re here!”

“The Sky Demon legion is finally here!”

Still, his face soon dropped and he could not help gasping… he saw the burly Sky Demon general who was holding that blood-colored axe with his spirit.

To Jiang He’s senses, that humongous Sky Demon’s aura was utterly frightening, and he ran with the force of a moving mountain.

“Who dares spy upon me?”

Sensing Jiang He’s spirit observation then, Bodo’s figure promptly shook. The strength of Qi and Blood arose like flames upon his body, and all Jiang He felt was an aching in spirit as if he was burned by True Samadhi Flames.

‘That Sky Demon general is too powerful!’

‘His ability is overwhelming like his blood and Qi,’ Jiang He could not help thinking. ‘Even I would have a hard time killing him if used Twenty-Three Swords… Moreover, using Twenty-Three Swords would harm my spirit, leaving me fatigued and drowsy.’

‘Even if my cultivation has reached full-fledged True Child now, I’ve already used Twenty-Three Swords once. I would definitely feel unbearably drowsy if I use it again…’

Nonetheless, Jiang He’s eyes flashed then, a look of resolve showing up in his eye!

The Sky Demon general was too powerful for him to defeat or kill, so…

He had to try the Doom Shrooms.

He slowly rose to his feet, rapidly gathering the 300 Doom Shrooms hovering around himself…

Jiang He was extremely careful with that process, afraid that the Doom Shrooms would collide when he gathered them and detonate… and there would be nothing left of him when that happens.

“Ah… what a pity!”

“How nice it would be if the Doom Shrooms had the same drop to the ground and clutch your head function like the pea bombs or the potato landmines. I could throw one face-to-face against the Sky Demon legion if that’s so…”

After an emotional sigh, all 300 Doom Shrooms flew inside his Stargate, driven by Jiang He’s mystic powers.

He did have a good control over his strength.

Moreover, he thought that the 300 Doom Shrooms could at least fly up to eight kilometers away, reaching the Sky Demon general who was at the forefront around five kilometers…

“Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses, seal!”

“Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud, stand!”

In the instant that the 300 Doom Shrooms flew inside the Stargate, Jiang He promptly invoked the Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses as well as the Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud while he quickly pulled back!

***

Inside the Stargate, blood hued axe in hand, Bodo was still sprinting forward.

His aura continued bursting forth as he ran, his killing intent climbing by every notch.

“Kill!”

Behind him, the legion was roaring in fury, their many champions following Bodo tightly.

And yet, all of a sudden, Bodo saw a wave of pitch-black objects flying toward them.

Sneering, he brandished his axe and cut down at them.

Having cultivated to his level, he had a powerful sense of danger.

However…

Doom Shrooms were crops.

What could one even sense before that stuff blew up?

Not even the demon lord himself would sense any danger, let alone a full-fledged Yuan Spirit like Bodo.

Still, in the split second he swung his axe, the many Sky Demon champions’ steel-blue faces turned purple immediately… wasn’t those pitch-black objects simply clusters of the explosive mushrooms from before?

“No!”

One of the Sky Demon champions shouted at the top of his lungs, “General, do not touch it!”

However, how quick was Bodo’s axe swing?

Even as the Sky Demon champion was finished, the edge of Bodo’s axe had already touched the field of pitch-blackness that was 300 Doom Shrooms…

And in the very next second, the entire Stargate…

Brightened.

Everything seemed to freeze in that single instant.

There was only silence as Bodo’s pupils widened.

He saw a terrible and blinding white light erupting from the pitch-black object he just cut.

And in the very next second…

Boom!

White light more scorching than the sun abruptly exploded within the Stargate.

On that note, one could actually observe the Stargate as a huge pipe.

It was very stable, however, for it merely shook a little even if 300 Doom Shrooms had blown up at once… And since the ensuing white light and blaze from the explosion could not be vented out, it flowed along the Stargate itself.

Bodo was hence consumed in the searing white light from the explosion… the dozens of Sky Demon champions behind him were next, and then it was the Sky Demon legion that filled the Stargate to the brim like locusts…

The Sky Demon legion did not know what had happened at all. Some were still shouting slogans like ‘Kill’, ‘Take Earth’, ‘avenge her highness’, and ‘fight for honor’.

Boom…

The violent, searing white light blazed towards the Sky Demon legion, most of whom did not have the time to struggle before the white light melted them…

Likewise, the searing white light was ejecting out of the other end of the Stargate.

Jiang He’s Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses lasted just two seconds when it was blown up while the many premium grade and superior-grade soul weapons were all scattered over every direction.

Blargh!

After being send half a dozen kilometers away, Jiang He’s figure abruptly shuddered and he coughed out a large mouthful of blood.

The flying swords were all Jiang He’s mystic treasures. His spirit was hence struck violently when the swords collided so terribly, leaving his qi, blood, and mystic powers all churning.

“Keep holding on, Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud!”

Jiang He roared in rage, pouring forth all his mystic powers in his body.

Ooom!

The Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud instantly enlarged, completely covering the mouth of the Stargate…

But it was all futile.

The simultaneous explosion of 300 Doom Shrooms erupted with a yield of 90 million tons. With nowhere to vent the explosion, everything was ejecting out from both ends of the Stargate.

How horrific was that force?

Another two seconds later, the Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud was sent flying.

Meanwhile, the searing white light spilt out from the Stargate… bearing down straight at Jiang He’s house.

The farm had already been kept inside Jiang He’s backpack, with both Boa Hancock and Sora within. On the other hand, the mansion was no more than a capsule—if it was destroyed, it was destroyed… however, such a tremendous explosion would definitely cause a major earthquake if it reaches ground, and with Lingzhou City being a straight line distance of less than ten kilometers away from his own house, it would probably be reduced to ashes.

Jiang He coughed blood at that, and cried angrily, “I’ll never believe in jinxes, damn it!”

He took out a dozen Doom Shrooms with a wave of his hand.

Since he could not hold the explosion black, he would disperse it with another explosion.

It was ten thousand meters up in the air here anyway. When the shockwave from the eruption dispersed, it would not reach ground. Most importantly, these were Doom Shrooms, not lacking in power compared to nuclear or atomic bombs, and it was ‘green’, as it was not poisonous, nonpolluting, and not radioactive.

“Hmmm…”

“I did add nitrogen fertilizer when I plant them, so they aren’t fully green…”

With that thought, Jiang He threw out the Doom Shrooms he was holding, feeling apprehensive in that instant…

Would stopping explosion with another explosion really work?
