Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 222 Who says mortals can't defeat gods! It's finally my turn to fight back!!!

Outside the prison, time slipped away in anxious anticipation.

"Why aren't they back yet...?!"

Lan'er stared anxiously at Lu Chen's blood, which was being continuously drained by the "Heavenly Decree".

Lu Chen's face was already ashen, and the weakness from the depletion of his blood and qi was almost dragging him down. His bare forearms had visibly thinned out.

He was helpless and could only worry anxiously.

The three demons inside the prison were also on tenterhooks.

"Brother, if you keep inhaling, even if the blessing is successful, this kid will be paralyzed!"

"The foundation is about to be destroyed!"

The two demons secretly communicated. The Black Demon Lord remained silent, his brows furrowed, staring intently at Lu Chen.

"hiss--!"

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes and pulled his arm out of the "Heavenly Decree"!

"senior!"

His call had not yet faded.

The Black Demon Lord has revealed his true form, and the horns on his head are making a "creaking" sound.

Suddenly, a hazy glow, like a divine manifestation, emanated from his body.

It was as if He Himself had transformed into a vessel to carry out the rituals.

"Your Majesty, please ask the Star Lord for blessings!" the Black Demon Lord roared.

Lu Chen dared not delay for a moment, silently reciting the name of the Broom Star Lord in his heart.

The next moment!
A thick, almost solid column of gray-black energy suddenly erupted from between the Black Demon Lord's horns, piercing straight into Lu Chentian's spirit!
"Roar--!!!"

The Black Demon Lord let out a shrill roar of pain. Even with his demonic body, he could hardly bear the extreme pain of having his flesh and blood forcibly torn apart and his essence being frantically sucked out!
His back sizzled and crackled, revealing a terrifying bloody sheen, before quickly withering and shrivelding.

"Oh no! The amount of bad luck is enormous!"

The Black Demon Lord was horrified. This level of bad luck was enough to crush a Golden Immortal. No wonder it was burning his bones so badly!

Despite his weakness, Lu Chen frantically stuffed the spiritual fruits he had previously stockpiled into his mouth to replenish his qi and blood, while shouting hoarsely, "Senior, hold on! Success or failure hinges on this! It all depends on you!"

The Black Demon Lord's eyes widened in fury: "Second brother, third brother, help me!!"

The Stone Spirit and the Crimson Bird exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, one channeled their primordial demonic power into the Black Fiend Demon Lord's body;
The other one forced out a mouthful of his own blood and essence, which spilled onto his back.

Even so, the Black Demon Lord's essence was still being devoured by the gray-black pillar of energy, causing him to scream incessantly.

Hearing Lan'er trembling outside, he felt extremely uneasy.

"This commotion... Heavenly soldiers and generals are probably coming!!"

……

The third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is within the Heavenly General Camp guarding this level.

The celestial general on duty held a jade cup, slowly sipping the celestial wine, but his brows furrowed slightly as he asked the advisor beside him:
"What's wrong with this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda? Over the years, it's always been like this, a hole here, or some kind of trouble there. Today, the Fire Spirit Guards from the second floor actually came here... It's really very strange!"

The staff officer chimed in, "The general is absolutely right! I wonder just how badly the pagoda's treasure has deteriorated. It seems the evil spirits on the lower levels are too powerful, and even the pagoda's fortune can't be suppressed."

The Heavenly General shook his head: "It may not be a major disaster. In my opinion, it is more likely that the seal on the Third Prince is loosening. In the past hundred years, the Third Prince's cultivation has increased dramatically, and the Linglong Pagoda must be consuming a great deal of energy to suppress him."

The staff officer suddenly realized, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the Marshal found the treasure. As long as it is refined, the pagoda will definitely be restored to its original state! By the way, the mortal boy who is said to have a connection with the treasure is currently on the first floor. I wonder if he is dead or alive now."

"The marshal placed him on the first floor, clearly indicating he had no intention of taking his life. Once the treasure is refined, he will be released."

"The Marshal is benevolent and his grace is boundless..." Before the staff officer could finish his flattering words, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Hmm? It's that demonic insect? What's it up to now..."

Tian frowned, but didn't pay much attention.

After all, these demons on the third floor roar every day, so it's nothing new to them.

Just as they were about to raise their glasses in a toast.

—"Awooo!!!!!!!!!"

The screams, however, were unusually tragic.

Tian Jiang stopped drinking, his expression instantly changing drastically. "This sound is wrong! This is bad!!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the tent.

……

Outside the prison.

A massive amount of bad luck continues to pour in.

On the other side, the Black Demon Lord's size had shrunk considerably.

"Who dares to trespass on this pagoda?!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap, made people's eardrums ache.

A vast army of heavenly soldiers and generals escorted a heavenly general, who arrived in an instant, riding on divine light.

"Heavens! Heavenly General!" Lan'er was so frightened that her soul almost left her body, and her face turned deathly pale.

Even the three Black Fiends inside the Heavenly Prison had a sudden change in expression.

The ceremony is not over yet.

They—they really did come!
That day, he glanced at Lu Chen and the Jiao Nu, and instantly realized what was going on. He flew into a rage: "So it's you, you audacious mortal! Seize him for me!"

Before the shout had even finished, a blazing white divine lightning bolt had already condensed and, like an angry dragon, blasted towards the Black Fiend Demon Lord inside the Heavenly Prison!

"boom!"

The Black Fiend Demon Lord was already extremely weak and had no time to dodge, so he was hit squarely by the divine lightning.

The demonic body crashed to the ground with a muffled groan, and the ongoing blessing ceremony came to an abrupt end.

Upon receiving the command from the heavenly general, the two heavenly soldiers immediately transformed into two afterimages and rushed towards Lu Chen, intending to suppress him.

But Lu Chen seemed not to hear or see anything, standing still in place.

Just as the heavenly soldier's palm was about to touch his body—

An invisible layer of gray mist quietly covered Lu Chen's body.

The two heavenly soldiers barely touched the skin with their fingertips before hearing two crisp "crack" sounds as their wrist bones mysteriously broke!

"Ouch!"

Two screams rang out almost simultaneously.

Even more bizarrely, both of them slipped at the same time and fell over.

"What... what kind of evil magic is this?!" The heavenly general's pupils shrank.

That mortal clearly did nothing wrong, so why couldn't the heavenly soldiers even touch him? "You're courting death!"

With a furious roar, the Heavenly General raised his hand and condensed an even thicker bolt of blazing white divine lightning, which struck down directly at Lu Chen's head!

This place is the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Mortals who trespass should die. Even if He were to kill this kid on the spot, Heaven would not hold it against Him!

"Boom——!"

this moment.

The scene of the mighty divine thunder striking down was reflected in the eyes of everyone present.

The image appears to be divided into several pieces.

—Lan'er.

—The Three Demons.

—Heavenly soldiers and generals.

The former's pupils constricted sharply, filled with horror.

The latter, however, was ruthless and decisive, showing no mercy.

"Lu Chen!!!" Lan'er cried out.

—The thunder has already arrived!

However, before Tianjiang could even raise the corners of his mouth in a smile.

The next moment!
I don't know what happened to that violent divine lightning.

When it was only an inch away from Lu Chentian's head, it abruptly turned at a ninety-degree right angle and blasted him towards the sky with even greater ferocity!
"ah?!!!!!"

The heavenly general was terrified on the spot, never dreaming that his supernatural power would backfire on him. He hurriedly summoned a tortoise shell magic weapon to shield himself.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the tortoise shell magic treasure was instantly shattered by the divine lightning. The remaining power of the violent lightning arcs did not diminish and struck the heavenly general solidly.

He groaned, spat out a mouthful of golden divine blood, and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, landing in a sorry state.

But this is not the end.

The scattered arcs of lightning, as if possessed, darted about among the heavenly soldiers, crackling and popping incessantly, instantly striking down a large number of them.

"Ouch!"

"my leg!"

"my hand!"

My stomach!

Screams rose and fell, and the once majestic heavenly soldiers and generals were now in complete chaos.

Seeing this, Lan'er was stunned, and the Second and Third Demons in the Heavenly Prison were also dumbfounded, their mouths agape.

"Hiss! The power of this jinx is terrifying?"

"Bad luck is also a kind of fortune. No matter if you are a god or a demon, if you get tainted by it, you will still be unlucky."

Black Demon Lord took a breath, but his face showed no surprise: "The Broom Star is a righteous god of the Heavenly Court. Even if he is just a minor god, his power is not something that these heavenly soldiers and generals can contend with."

As he spoke, He retreated to the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison: "Second Brother, Third Brother, get away from him quickly! He's a walking jinx now; getting even a little bit of him will cause trouble!"

Meanwhile, outside the prison.

Lu Chen looked at the group of heavenly soldiers and generals in front of him, who were dizzy and screaming incessantly from being electrocuted.

He first took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily.

It was as if they wanted to pour out all the pent-up frustration, fear, and caution they had felt since entering the pagoda.

"Ever since I entered this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I have been extremely careful, walking on thin ice, for fear that a single misstep would lead to my death and the dissipation of my soul!"

His voice gradually rose as he coldly surveyed the heavenly soldiers and generals before him, whom he saw as formidable tigers and insurmountable barriers, his own misfortune surging violently.

"But now—it's finally my turn to fight back!"

"boom!"

Boundless bad luck suddenly spread out, surging towards the heavenly soldiers and generals like a gray tide.

Lu Chen lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure shot out towards the crowd like a cannonball, intending to take the initiative to attack!
The heavenly soldiers and generals opposite felt their hair stand on end and were about to raise their troops to resist—

"Squeak!"

Lu Chen's foot inexplicably slipped, and he instantly lost his balance.

With a "thud," he fell flat on his face, looking like a dog.

"Holy crap! How could even I..."

"Hahaha!" One of the heavenly soldiers couldn't help but point and laugh.

As he was laughing, the rock wall above him suddenly loosened, and a huge rock crashed down with a "thud," knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Lu Chen: "..."

The heavenly soldiers: "..."

"Sorry." Lu Chen got up, dusted himself off, and said seriously, "That was purely an accident. Now, let's officially begin."

"Kill him!!" The heavenly general, who had been severely injured by his own divine lightning, roared hoarsely.

Dozens of heavenly soldiers dared not use their supernatural powers again, fearing a repeat of the same mistake. They raised their axes, blades, and broadswords and charged at Lu Chen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they rushed into the area of ​​bad luck surrounding Lu Chen, they all ran into trouble.

As one of the heavenly soldiers swung his sword down, his wrist suddenly went limp for no apparent reason, and the greatsword flew out of his hand with a clang, striking his companion's helmet squarely.

"Hey! Who's blind?!"

The heavenly soldier who was hit covered his helmet and squatted on the ground groaning, just about to look up to find the culprit.

He tripped over something and fell forward, crashing right into the back of a heavenly soldier wielding an axe.

The axe-wielding celestial soldier was immediately thrown off balance by the impact, and the axe tip rose up, directly knocking away a celestial soldier who had leaped forward.

In the blink of an eye, the heavenly soldiers were in all sorts of trouble. They bumped into each other, tripped over each other, and screams filled the air as they fell to the ground.

"hiss!"

Lu Chen never imagined that this bad luck would be so terrifying!
He didn't even need to lift a finger; these heavenly soldiers had already dealt with him thoroughly.

"What a fierce jinx!"

At that moment, an extremely strong thought popped into Lu Chen's mind:
"That's the one!"

"I've decided, I'll choose Him!!!"
