Looking at the situation, this Divine Black Tortoise was clearly far more than just a simple ally. The bloodlines of the Four Divine Beasts were noble beyond measure—just what kind of special means and what kind of unique charisma did this Jiang Chen possess to command such unwavering loyalty from the bloodlines of all Four Divine Beasts?
At this point in the battle, Elder Guangdu truly felt a surge of vexation and regret. With his divine abilities, if he personally took action and still couldn't bring down the Eternal Sacred Land, word of this would devastate his reputation beyond measure.
What terrified him even more was that the forces he had brought out from the Endless Prison were being steadily wiped out at the Eternal Sacred Land. By now, three successive waves had been completely destroyed.
The Eternal Sacred Land was simply a bottomless pit.
If things continued like this, the Eternal Sacred Land would become his greatest obstacle to dominating the Myriad Depths Island.
At this thought, Elder Guangdu's dharma body, transformed into a furious flood dragon, grew even more frenzied. However, the Divine Black Tortoise's defensive power was simply abnormally powerful—beyond the bounds of reason.
And while the Divine Vermilion Bird didn't possess the Black Tortoise's fearsome defensive capabilities, its offensive power forced Elder Guangdu to remain constantly on guard. Moreover, in terms of speed and agile maneuvering, the Vermilion Bird was in no way inferior to him.
This made the coordination between the two divine beasts all the more complementary. One attacked and harassed while the other mounted a desperate defense.
This combination made Elder Guangdu increasingly alarmed the longer the battle dragged on.
The Myriad Transformations Heavenly Devil Divine Ability had always been the technique he was most proud of. When facing opponents in combat, the advantages of this technique had always been overwhelmingly clear.
But today, this technique happened to encounter the one type of enemy he least wanted to face—ancient True Spirits. Especially True Spirits bearing the bloodlines of the Four Divine Beasts!
These True Spirits, once they had entered the Divine Path, possessed combat power that was an entire tier above others at the same level.
And not only had he encountered them, but he had encountered two of them at once.
Most infuriating of all, these two True Spirits coordinated with such flawless synergy that it drastically narrowed the gap his realm advantage had given him.
And his Myriad Transformations Heavenly Devil Divine Ability offered absolutely no advantage against the two True Spirits.
They were of the Four Divine Beasts' bloodlines—whether he simulated the aura of ancient titans, harnessed bloodline power, or unleashed various forms of suppression, none of it had any effect whatsoever on the Four Divine Beasts' bloodlines.
The longer the battle went on, the more alarmed Elder Guangdu became. He was confident that against a single True Spirit, he would have a thousand ways to subdue it. At their current cultivation levels, he certainly had methods to bring them under control.
But with two True Spirits fighting together, their combined combat power multiplied three- or fourfold. It was far more than a simple one-plus-one equation.
Elder Guangdu had roamed the Endless Prison for ages, and after emerging, his ambitions had run high—every step of his plans had proceeded smoothly. But today, he finally understood what true frustration and powerlessness felt like.
He knew full well that if he couldn't break through the combined assault of these two True Spirits, breaking into the Eternal Sacred Land was nothing but a pipe dream.
He was deeply vexed.
If he hadn't been so arrogant before—if he hadn't sent those two Divine Path subordinates away to attack the Eternal Sacred Land's formations separately—they could have helped him draw fire and provide mutual support. With their aid, he would have had a decent chance of breaking their coordinated stance.
But now, he was once again reduced to a single Divine Path combatant standing alone.
Under these circumstances, there was absolutely no chance of gaining any advantage today.
