The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1315 - Chapter 1315 Chapter 1315 Deadlock

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315: Deadlock? Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315: Deadlock? The situation had become dire, as if it plummeted from calm seas to stormy waves and thunderbolts in an instant!

Last night, the so-called safe zones chosen by each camp were no longer secure, as countless beams of golden energy, stretching for dozens of miles and piercing the heavens, furiously swept toward them!

A small amount of golden energy was but a minor itch through boots to these powerhouses. But tens of thousands of these beams were terrifying beyond imagination.

These golden energies were immensely powerful and moved with extreme speed, almost like teleportation. As they swept through, they nearly caused a resonance between heaven and earth, making the vast region of the Xuanjin veins tremble as if an earthquake had struck.

The airflow between heaven and earth was chaotic, with blinding golden light, and the void collapsed, annihilated!

“Master! What should we do?” Xu Fu cried out in alarm. “We’ve nurtured these divine wood fruits, and they’re about to ripen, but now… now… it’s all about to fall through!”

“Hmph!” Huang Xiaolong felt extremely frustrated inside. After all, he had toiled through the night, and it was almost time to see the first batch of divine wood fruits ripen.

But now, they faced a perilous situation and had to make a choice.

Either they would endure these devastating beams of golden energy and insist on cultivating this batch of divine wood fruits.

Or they would make a quick decision and flee immediately.

In a split second, Huang Xiaolong shook his head sharply and shouted, “Let’s go!”

Controlling his slaves with his divine sense as easily as moving his own limbs, Huang Xiaolong’s voice had just fallen when Zehui’s body shuddered, breaking out into a dragon’s roar. He transformed into a mighty dragon that enveloped Huang Xiaolong and the other four slaves, protecting them as he strained to fly out of the Xuanjin veins region.

Zehui took several hundred beams of golden energy head-on, causing several of his dragon scales to shatter and fly off.

However, before the tens of thousands of golden attacks closed in, Zehui had already flown out, escaping from the place.

Boom~~~~~~!!!!!!

The multiple layers of defense runes that Huang Xiaolong had left behind dissipated like bubbles, pulverized to dust.

“That was too close for comfort~~” Huang Xiaolong sighed with lingering fear. If they had been even a moment later, it didn’t bear thinking about.

He quickly assessed the situation and the answer was simple–even with all their might, they were utterly incapable of withstanding the siege of tens of thousands of golden energies. If they didn’t die, they would be severely injured!

After escaping, the divine wood fruits in Huang Xiaolong’s area, deprived of the nourishment of energy, began to wither at a visible rate.

Vibrant scenery was reduced to desolation in no time.

“Damn it! The divine wood fruits that were close to maturing are declining rapidly now that they have lost their nourishment–it’s maddening! All our hard work from yesterday has been for nothing!” Huang Xiaolong cursed.

As for the other camps,

The Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess acted with the most decisiveness. They made the right choice in the shortest amount of time, just like Huang Xiaolong.

Swoosh~~swoosh~~~

Two massive dragons flew out, then transformed back into their human forms and landed beside Huang Xiaolong.

“Ah~~ Huang Xiaolong, we worked all night and used up a lot of dragon energy, only to come up empty-handed and waste many seeds of the divine wood fruit~~” The Ninth Princess muttered, “It’s too difficult! Now I realize the challenge of cultivating divine wood fruit… it’s truly unimaginable!”

The Third Crown Prince also shook his head in frustration. “That Immortal Emperor of Heaven Slaying is too cunning, setting such a huge challenge for us. He said that the ten worlds of heaven slaying are fraught with peril, one more dangerous than the next. The first world is supposed to be the simplest. But now that we can’t even get through the first world, there’s no use even thinking about the others!”

Despite being a prodigy of the younger generation of the Long Clan, the Third Crown Prince was also feeling disheartened at this moment.

Now, let’s talk about the Immortals and the Demon Race.

The Sword Immortal Emperor roared fiercely, looking somewhat ferocious, and exclaimed, “At this critical moment, we must not give up! We absolutely cannot give up!”

Right then, the Sword Immortal Emperor and the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor burst forth with dazzling columns of immortal light, channeling it into the defensive barrier. At the same time, they didn’t forget to constantly nourish the about-to-ripen divine wood fruits with energy.

Dozens of Profound Immortals began chanting immortal songs to reinforce the protective barrier while continuing to nurture the fruits.

With the blessings of the many Immortals, the defensive barrier blazed brilliantly like a scorching sun, with numerous prestigious immortal characters fluttering in and out of sight.

The air was filled with praises for the Immortal Race in song!

On the other hand, the decision of the two Demon Kings was no different from the Immortal Race’s. They chose to hold on!

They reinforced the shield-like defensive covers!

In that split second, tens of thousands of beams of golden energy nearly simultaneously struck the Immortals’ defense barrier and the Demon Race’s turtle shell-like shields!

Crackling~~!!!!!!

The clash erupted in an incredibly fierce explosion, like a volcanic eruption!

The reinforced protective covers and turtle shell shields were both sliced into thousands of holes, their light dimming, on the verge of shattering!

But somehow, they held on.

“Quick! Nourish! Hurry!” The Sword Immortal Emperor exhaled slightly in relief and, as if it cost him nothing, poured his immortal energy to nourish the divine wood fruits that were about to mature.

One by one, the unripe divine wood fruits began to emit faint hints of golden color!

Success was near! They were on the brink of success!

However–

“`

Boom~~ Boom~~~ Boom~~~~

“`

“`

Once again, tornado-like golden qi rushed towards the camps of the Immortals and the Demon Race, dense and wildly rampant!

“`

“`

“Not good! Here it comes again!” The Demon King, bawling out in a heart-wrenching howl.

“`

“`

Being able to withstand the slicing golden qi even once was already an impressive feat, but now, with their defenses significantly weakened, the golden qi bore down even fiercer than before!

“`

“`

“We can’t hold on any longer! Let’s go!” the Demon King roared, finally shaken and choosing to give up.

“`

“`

The eyes of the Demon King were filled with bloodshot threads – he couldn’t bear to give up!

“`

“`

The first batch of Wood God Fruits was just half a step away from full maturity, just half a step away from a bountiful harvest!

“`

“`

“Use the demon artifacts! Sacrifice the demon artifacts!” the Demon King shrieked, unleashing more than a dozen high-quality defensive demon artifacts.

“`

“`

Dozens of Demon Saints also brought out their carried demon artifacts and sacrificed them.

“`

“`

On the side of the Immortals, it was the same situation. Led by the Sword Immortal Emperor and the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, dozens of Profound Immortals also brought forth their life-saving defensive Immortal Artifacts.

“`

“`

This was a desperate, nearly suicidal gamble!

“`

“`

However, luck was not on their side this time. Countless flashes of golden light swept across, reducing all kinds of demon and Immortal Artifacts into fragments!

“`

“`

“Dammit! Let’s go!”

“`

“`

Finally, even the Sword Immortal Emperor, cursing out loud in frustration, no longer dared to persist. With the explosion of Immortal Artifacts and loss of defense, he felt the bone-piercing sharpness of the golden qi!

“`

“`

A decision had to be made now. They clearly couldn’t hold back any longer. A moment’s delay would mean certain death.

“`

“`

Someone like the Immortal Emperor might not perish immediately but would undoubtedly be gravely injured. As for the Profound Immortals, however many there were, that’s how many would die.

“`

“`

Immediately, the two Demon Kings and two Immortal Emperors issued orders to retreat.

“`

“`

They had no choice but to abandon the Wood God Fruits that were on the cusp of ripening.

“`

“`

In the blink of an eye, countless streams of golden qi suddenly split apart, forming a net-like curtain of light that swept through swiftly.

“`

“`

Those Profound Immortals and Demon Saints who were slightly slower were shrouded by the net, their bodies shattered completely, cut into tens of thousands of pieces as if they were merely grass.

“`

“`

The sky was stained with blood!

“`

“`

It was horrific! Just too horrific!

“`

“`

With this single strike, more than a dozen Profound Immortals and Demon Saints were sliced into bits, dead beyond doubt.

“`

“`

The two Immortal Emperors and two Demon Kings, along with the survivors, narrowly flew out, then gasped for breath with lingering fear in their hearts.

“`

“`

Looking back at their planted Wood God Fruits, they could see them withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“`

“`

An entire night’s hard work, all in vain!

“`

“`

“How can this be~~ how can this be~~ this is utterly outrageous!” bemoaned the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, utterly dispirited.

“`

“`

Seeing this scene, the Third Crown Prince of the Long Clan also regained his composure.

“`

“`

He and the Ninth Princess had worked tirelessly all night for naught, which was already miserable enough. But the Immortals and the Demon Race had it worse. Not only did they come away empty-handed, but they also lost a great number of Immortal and demon artifacts, even paying a steep price in casualties.

“`

“`

It was the epitome of losing both the wife and the army.

“`

“`

At that moment, intense hunger burst forth from the deepest parts of everyone’s bodies, spreading like a plague to every cell like wildfire.

“`

“`

“Ah~~ Not only did we fail to harvest, but we also have to consume the few Wood God Fruits we do have, such a misfortune~~” Huang Xiaolong said with a bitter smile, taking out a dried fruit and swallowing it down, finally curbing the overwhelming hunger.

“`

“`

Others also took out Wood God Fruits to sate their hunger.

“`

“`

The atmosphere turned especially silent. Everyone frowned, contemplating how to cope, how to successfully harvest the ripe Wood God Fruits.

“`

“`

“The Slaying Immortal Emperor is clearly playing with us!” The Sword Immortal Emperor, extremely dissatisfied, started to make a scene. “It’s impossible to cultivate mature Wood God Fruits! Impossible! This is a dead end! We’ve been toyed with! We’re going to starve to death on this damned Jupiter! I don’t care anymore! I will eradicate all beings on Jupiter, leaving no survivors! If I am to fall, I will make sure every living creature on Jupiter goes down with me!”

“`

“`

Huang Xiaolong sat down slowly, muttering to himself, “The so-called weak spots in the golden qi are nothing but deceiving. The flow of golden qi in the Xuanjin Leyline region changes everyday, erratic like the wind, impossible to predict~~~ But the Slaying Immortal Emperor wouldn’t set up an insolvable situation. If it were truly unsolvable, then there would be no need to create as many as ten worlds for Treasure Hunters to decipher~~~ There must be a way to successfully cultivate the Wood God Fruits on Jupiter…”

“`

“`

Huang Xiaolong firmly believed this was not an impossible situation!

“`

“`

There had to be a way to cultivate mature Wood God Fruits!

“`

“`

“What could that method be?” Huang Xiaolong racked his brains over this question.

“`

“`

He casually threw out some talismans, which upon reaching the Xuanjin Leyline region, were immediately shredded by the omnipresent golden qi into dust~~~

“`

“`

Just then!

“`

“`

“Hmm?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something!

“`

“`

A surge of thought rapidly fermented in Huang Xiaolong’s mind.

“`

“`

“I~~ I think I understand something~~~” The idea in Huang Xiaolong’s mind became clearer and clearer!

“`

“`

…
