Chapter 224 The God of Calamity Without Weaknesses (33)

"The opportunity has come!"

When Li Boyang slowly uttered those words, Xi Luo, who was standing next to him, immediately perked up.

"Let's go! What should we do now?"

They didn't even ask another question.

Li Boyang rolled his eyes at Xi Luo's behavior of simply giving up thinking.

He had seemed flattered and surprised, as if he was afraid that he was hiding something from her.

But when it really came down to it, Xi Luo had no intention of investigating the whole story, adopting a "you say, I do" attitude.

"Jump onto my shoulders, let's walk and chat..."

"So you won't complain later that I kept everything from you."

Li Boyang reached out his hand to Xi Luo, who immediately understood and jumped onto his shoulder.

The next moment, the two figures instantly disappeared into the ground and vanished from the mountain god temple.

"This is... an earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to burrow underground)?"

Xi Luo felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and then she could see nothing at all.

Only the rapidly receding soil and geology around her made Xi Luo feel as if she were moving at some kind of supersonic speed.

As the mountain goddess, Xi Luo immediately realized that this was the "Earth Escape Technique" exclusive to the Earth God.

"Earth-遁术" is not a supernatural power, but a spell often used by the Earth God, and most mountain gods are also somewhat familiar with it.

However, Xi Luo, the mountain god, was an exception.

Being ignorant and incompetent, she didn't even know the "mountain-moving technique" most commonly used by the mountain gods, let alone the magic exclusive to the earth god.

"Wait, when did the Earth Escape Technique become so fast?"

Although there is no reference point for coordinates.

But the mountain god's instincts made Xi Luo realize that her current speed seemed to be a bit excessive.

In the blink of an eye, the distance of tens of kilometers had been covered, and the speed continued to increase.

"This is not a technique for escaping underground, or rather, it is not entirely a technique for escaping underground, but rather a type of Five Elements Escape Technique."

"Well, to distinguish it, you can call it 'Earth Escape'."

"I just figured it out a while ago..."

"It's faster than 'flying through the clouds,' but the learning difficulty is significantly lower."

Seemingly to strengthen the credibility of his statement, Li Boyang hesitated for a moment before adding another sentence.

"This is a kind of escape technique that utilizes the earth's energy..."

"It would be even better if we could borrow the power of a local earth god, as it is not too demanding of itself."

Even with your temperament, you should be able to learn it in three to five days at most.

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo became interested; she liked spells that didn't require much brainpower to learn.

As for seeking power from other gods?
Xi Luo believed this was her strength, and there was no god in the Hundred Mountains who would not want to borrow her power.

"Then teach me as soon as we've dealt with Wuzhiqi."

With a smile and a nod, Li Boyang smoothly shifted the topic back to Wuzhiqi.

"Do you know which celestial being Wuzhiqi feared most when he invaded the Guifang Kingdom?"

Slightly confused, Xi Luo blinked and instinctively answered.

"Of course it's the Hijikata clan!"

"After Hijikata regained his freedom, he almost single-handedly annihilated Muchiki's vanguard, transforming them into mindless, unfeeling ghost soldiers and spirits." "If Muchiki hadn't subdued Tsuchisho beforehand and learned of Hijikata's weaknesses from him..."

"I estimate that Wuzhiqi is still blocked outside the borders of the Guifang Kingdom, and it is impossible for him to be suppressed under the ancestral temple altar of the Guifang Kingdom."

This happened after Li Boyang and Xi Luo brought back the Binding God Rope.

Having witnessed firsthand the terrifying scene at the ruins of the Tufang Kingdom, Xi Luo was deeply impressed by the power of the Tufang clan.

The scene of turning an entire kingdom into a ghostly realm, where gods, demons, and monsters are forcibly bound to that land after their deaths, wailing and weeping every day, is truly terrifying.

According to Li Boyang at the time, this was because the Guifang Kingdom released the Tufang clan, allowing them to regain their freedom.

As a condition, or rather, a price, the Hijikata clan appeared within the territory of the Oni-goro Kingdom, wantonly slaughtering the gods and monsters who were causing chaos during the floods and torrential rains.

"Hijikata is indeed strong, but he has very obvious weaknesses."

“Especially for a powerhouse like Wuzhiqi, a god with obvious weaknesses is not worth his fear.”

Li Boyang gently shook his head and gave an answer that was both unexpected and reasonable.

"Among the five gods, the one that Wuzhiqi truly feared was the ancestral god of the Guifang Kingdom—Houtianshi."

"Wuzhiqi first relied on his innate advantages to repeatedly shatter the returning 'self' of the Tunchao clan, and finally subdued it to become the new rain god."

"Immediately afterwards, Wuzhiqi used the weaknesses he learned from Tunchao to forcibly seal Hijikata clan again."

"Only when entering Yayi City did Wuzhiqi defeat the Houtian Clan with absolute strength, without resorting to any underhanded methods."

Li Boyang paused slightly at this point.

"Was Wuzhiqi unwilling to use unorthodox methods when dealing with the Houtian clan?"

"No, Wuzhiqi may be proud and arrogant, but he has never been a pedantic god..."

"This can be seen from the methods He used to deal with the Tonshio and Hijikata clans."

“Attacking the enemy’s weaknesses and exploiting their shortcomings is precisely the fighting style that Wuzhiqi excels at.”

Xi Luo nodded slightly, as if suddenly realizing what Li Boyang meant.

"Among the five gods, Houtian is the only one without any weaknesses..."

"The Gui Rong clan is incomplete, the Qing Mu clan is not good at fighting, the Tun Chao clan has had its humanity weakened, and the Hijikata clan is a ferocious demon god without any reason..."

"Only the Houtian clan achieved a perfect balance between their divinity and humanity, and had no obvious defects in terms of power."

"If it weren't for the sword strike you delivered, Houtianshi in his normal state could have taken the initiative and led the Five Gods to ambush and kill Wuzhiqi's army."

Seeing that Xi Luo understood his meaning, Li Boyang continued to speak with a smile.

"That's right, so among the Five Gods, the dominant position of the Houtian Clan is unshakeable."

"The strength of the Roaring Sky Clan does not lie in the amount of power it possesses, but in the fact that it has no weaknesses..."

"Even from the perspective of 'gods,' the Houtian clan is still invincible."

"Therefore, after conquering Yayi City, Wuzhiqi, fearing the return of the Houtian clan, immediately slaughtered and enslaved the people of the entire Guifang Kingdom, attempting to completely sever His faith and sacrifices."

Gods are indeed difficult to kill, but they are not truly invincible.

Even immortal gods like Houtianshi, who symbolize "natural disasters," have the possibility of permanently losing their personality.

In a sense, the Houtian clan, having lost the Guifang Kingdom, was just like the Tunchao clan.

They could either become a general under Wuzhiqi, or transform into some kind of natural phenomenon in the world.

Judging from the current situation, Houtianshi has clearly chosen the latter outcome.
