Two immortal attendants watched the immortal general, who was charging at Ye Ling with a large iron hammer, their faces changed greatly. They quickly dodged to the sides, shouting to Ye Ling, "Immortal friend, dodge quickly! That is the Martial God General, who is immensely strong!"
"Too much nonsense!"
The Martial God General was clearly a hot-tempered fellow. He berated the two immortal attendants and then raised his two large iron hammers, smashing them fiercely at Ye Ling. "You brat, since you don't want to leave, I'll force you to!"
"Take my hammer!"
Seeing the Martial God General attacking, Ye Ling did not dodge. A faint smile played on his lips. "I'm just telling the truth, why are you so short-tempered?"
Ye Ling's calm and indifferent attitude only further enraged the Martial God General.
"Waaah! This makes me so angry!"
The Martial God General roared, his arm muscles bulging as the two large iron hammers descended.
Ye Ling, however, simply extended his index finger and flicked it gently.
*Clang!!!*
The Martial God General's two hammers were directly flicked away by Ye Ling. He himself spun a few times in the air and plunged headfirst into the sea.
The two immortal attendants who had dodged to the sides stared in disbelief, unable to believe their own eyes.
This, this...
Although the Martial God General was not a famous immortal god, he was a general-level figure among the heavenly soldiers and generals, far stronger than ordinary mortal immortals.
The Martial God General's hammer strike just now could have at least smashed a mortal immortal into a pulp!
His confrontation with Ye Ling should have at least severely injured Ye Ling, if not killed him!
But...
The two immortal attendants could not believe that Ye Ling had sent the Martial God General flying with just a single finger...
The two immortal attendants could not imagine how powerful Ye Ling truly was!
Could this be a rogue immortal who had not been on the Investiture of the Gods list?
With this thought, the two immortal attendants fell silent instantly, looking at Ye Ling with solemn respect.
The events happening around Ye Ling immediately attracted the attention of many heavenly soldiers and generals on the clouds. A group of heavenly soldiers was about to ride the clouds to attack Ye Ling and capture him.
However, as soon as they emerged from the clouds, the giants suspended above the giant snake unleashed lightning, turning those heavenly soldiers into ashes!
The Tongtian clan suddenly attacked. The heavenly soldiers and generals ignored Ye Ling and began to form an array, charging towards the giant snake that was undergoing tribulation, their battle cries filling the air.
"Heavenly soldiers, form ranks and exterminate the demonic calamity!"
Lei Gong and Dian Mu assisted from the clouds!
War suddenly broke out. The two immortal attendants stood in front of Ye Ling, trembling. They didn't know if they should still let Ye Ling leave!
On the surface of the Pacific Ocean, top powerhouses from various countries were walking on water, rapidly advancing towards the direction they had sensed earlier.
However, as they approached the area where the heavenly soldiers and generals were fighting the Tongtian clan, they found a thick fog rising from the sea. Not long after entering it, they found themselves back at their starting point.
No matter what methods the powerhouses from various countries used, they could not approach the center of the battlefield.
When the news from the Pacific Ocean reached the various countries, it caused another huge sensation.
However, that dense fog was an immortal formation used by the immortals to prevent mortals from prying into the secrets of the immortal realm. Let alone the cultivators who were at most eighth-rank, even mortal immortals who arrived here could not pass through the thick fog.
At this moment, the battle between the heavenly soldiers and generals and the giant race had reached a fever pitch. The battlefield on the Pacific Ocean had become a meat grinder.
The strength of those giants far exceeded the expectations of the heavenly soldiers and generals. After only a few minutes of fighting, nearly a thousand heavenly soldiers and generals had died, while not a single one of the more than a hundred giants had perished, with only a few sustaining injuries!
If this continued, even if all five thousand heavenly soldiers and generals on the clouds were wiped out, they might not be able to defeat the Tongtian clan.
The two immortal attendants beside Ye Ling watched the scene of heavenly soldiers and generals falling with horror, their bodies trembling slightly. They stammered, "As the esteemed immortal predicted, we are no match for the demonic calamity at all, and we urgently need reinforcements from the immortal realm!"
"But a day in heaven is a year on earth. Even if we all die here, the immortal realm may not receive the news!"
"It's over!"
The two immortal attendants said with trembling voices. The Martial God General, who had been flicked away by Ye Ling, swam out from the seabed. Seeing a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals being slaughtered by the giants, his pupils contracted sharply, and his mind went blank.
"What, what should we do?"
He was leading the team for this encirclement and suppression of the demonic calamity.
He had only requested five thousand elite soldiers at the time, boasting that it was more than enough to encircle and suppress a single demonic calamity!
But now, the five thousand heavenly soldiers and generals were in such a dire state. If they were truly annihilated, he, the Martial God General, would definitely be held accountable by his superiors!
If he were cast into the eighteenth level of hell, he would never be able to turn over for eternity.
Panicked, the Martial God General immediately thought of Ye Ling and quickly flew to Ye Ling's side, kneeling without hesitation and begging, "I was very offensive earlier and offended the esteemed immortal!"
"This demonic calamity is too powerful. If they are allowed to escape, they will likely bring disaster to the mortal world and cause great catastrophe! I implore the esteemed immortal to overlook my past offenses and help us eliminate this demon!"
Ye Ling looked at the Martial God General who was now admitting defeat and said with a smile, "You wanted to drive me away just now, and now you want me to help. Your face changes faster than Sichuan opera."
"You say it's for the mortal world, but in reality, you're just afraid of losing your official hat, aren't you?"
From the moment the Martial God General had attacked him without any explanation, Ye Ling had not had a good impression of him.
If the person standing here had not been him, but an ordinary mortal immortal or a rogue immortal, the Martial God General's hammer strike would have been enough to send the other person to the gates of hell!
Ye Ling did not believe that such a divine general, who did not value the lives of mortals, would fight to the death for the sake of all living beings.
Seeing that Ye Ling had no intention of making a move, the Martial God General became anxious. He quickly threatened Ye Ling, "This demonic calamity harms your mortal world. We are helping you eliminate the demon. If you don't help now, you're just making sarcastic remarks. When you attain the Dao fruit in the future, aren't you afraid I'll report you to the Jade Emperor?"
Seeing the Martial God General suddenly become furious, Ye Ling shook his head and sighed. Then, he flicked the Martial God General's forehead, sending his soul flying out.
Ye Ling said to Tian Yuan, "From now on, you will use this body. Although it is a bit weak, it is still an immortal being. In your current state, it is just right."
"I, I..."
Tian Yuan hesitated when Ye Ling wanted him to possess the general's body in front of the immortals, and was reluctant to act.
The two immortal attendants beside them were also stunned. They opened their mouths, wanting to persuade Ye Ling, but they didn't know how to speak.
Although the Martial God General was not strong, he was still a general. With the heavenly soldiers and generals still fighting, Ye Ling was now going to possess the Martial God General, which was practically trampling the face of the immortal realm into the dirt!
If the higher immortals found out, the retaliation would be endless!
The Martial God General was also stunned, not expecting Ye Ling to be so bold. However, he had a sudden inspiration and thought of an excellent excuse to shift the blame. He quickly rushed into the clouds in his spiritual body form to seek help from Lei Gong and Dian Mu who were assisting from the clouds!
As for his body, compared to the consequence of being cast into the eighteenth level of hell, it was nothing!
Now, the failure of this encirclement and suppression of the demonic calamity could be entirely blamed on Ye Ling if handled properly.
Ye Ling watched the Martial God General suddenly flee, unconcerned about his ulterior motives. He turned to Tian Yuan and urged, "What are you still hesitating for? Go in!"
Tian Yuan hesitated, "Sir, this, this isn't right, is it?"
"Stop being so indecisive." Ye Ling impatiently grabbed Tian Yuan and threw him into the Martial God General's body.
"I told you to use it, so you must use it. Even if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers arrive, it won't matter!"
