Chapter 865 Where is Wen Rui?

Chapter 865 Where is Wen Rui?

The Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Hearing Ears stepped forward quickly, using their magical powers to investigate carefully with their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up.

"Your Majesty... within a radius of ten thousand miles, there is not a single trace of a demon mosquito in the sky."

"Ok?"

After listening to the report from Clairvoyant, the Jade Emperor was somewhat incredulous. How could it be possible that the demon army didn't come to kill him when his own Lingxiao Palace was blown down?
"What happened to the gate being broken that day?"

"Your Majesty, the attack that broke through the South Heaven Gate did come from the Taishan Insect Nest."

Qianliyan scratched his head and said, "At that moment, flames shot up into the sky. It seemed that the Demon Ancestor used the Taishan Tiankeng as a cannon barrel and detonated a powerful fire-type magical power in the abyss, using the impact force to shoot a piece of Five Elements Mountain rock towards the heaven."

"But apart from firing this cannon, the other party did not gather a large army of demon soldiers to take the opportunity to attack the Heavenly Palace."

"What kind of fighting method is this? Attack the Heavenly Palace at the cost of blowing up your own lair? Who can help me understand this?"

The Jade Emperor frowned and asked, and the immortals surrounding him looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Your Majesty, I have studied the Jiejiao knowledge series compiled by the Creation Heavenly Venerable. Today's situation is also recorded in the chapter on the principles of firearms."

Taibai Jinxing was the first to answer very attentively: "I guess Taoist Mosquito must have figured out this super cannon based on the deep pit in the earth according to the principle of firearms, and tested the effect of the bombardment."

"The Demon Ancestor dug a hole in the ground to make a huge cannon barrel. He can dig as many cannon holes as he wants on the ground. Then we can do the same and bombard the Heaven Palace continuously, making us immortals panic all day long."

After these words were spoken, the faces of all the immortals, including the Jade Emperor, suddenly darkened.

If what Taibai Jinxing said was true, the previous shot was a test firing to verify the feasibility of the weapon, then once this low-cost large-scale earth cannon is mass-produced, the days of the Heavenly Court will be difficult.

The reason why Heaven is called Heaven is that it has the huge advantage of being high above. Even if any big monsters or demons appear in the mortal world, it will be extremely difficult for them to counterattack Heaven.

The mortal world has no good means of attack that can pose a threat to the heavenly court above the nine heavens.

Even if there is some powerful magic weapon that can emit magical power from the ground directly to the sky gate, the resources consumed each time it is used are extremely huge and it is impossible to last long.

But if what Taibai Jinxing said is true, the demon insects dug many straight deep pits on the earth, reinforced the pit walls to act as gun barrels, and detonated powerful fire-based magical powers in the deep pits according to the principles of firearms, continuously shooting the huge rocks blocking the pit entrances towards the heavens.

Then all the immortals in heaven would have to experience the bombing of the Heavenly Gate and the collapse of the Lingxiao Palace every day.

This was just one shot. The immortals dared not imagine what the scene would be like if the Zerg dug holes and fired shots everywhere.

It won’t be long before the countless magnificent palaces in heaven will be reduced to ruins.

It may seem incredible to bombard the Heavenly Palace from the ground, but if you carefully study the Jiejiao knowledge series, you will understand the rationale behind it.

In reality, a similar thing happened. During an underground nuclear test, a manhole cover covering the nuclear explosion well was shot into the sky by the huge impact force and became the fastest man-made object in history.

In the end, the manhole cover weighing several tons did not fall down. It is unknown whether it flew into space or evaporated in the high temperature of the nuclear explosion.

However, the speed of the manhole cover reached six times the Earth's escape velocity, and it was definitely possible to be launched into space. The Five Elements Mountain Rock launched by the same principle was much more solid than ordinary iron, and it easily flew up to the sky and hit the heaven.

The biggest advantage of this attack method is that it is very low cost and can be produced in large quantities. The magic insects are good at digging tunnels, and the magic energy consumed by high-powered fire magic is far less than that of directly attacking the heavens.

It was thought that the Heavenly Court possessed two super weapons that could block the sun and the moon, and that they could roast the devil insects from above anytime and anywhere, making them invincible. However, they never expected that the opponent also possessed super weapons that could defeat the Heavenly Court from the ground, and the two sides were back on the same starting line again.

"Where is Wen Tianzun? Let Wen Tianzun come to see him. He must know how to crack it!"

Thinking that he would always be within the range of the enemy's cannons and that the Lingxiao Palace would collapse from time to time, the Jade Emperor became extremely anxious but helpless. The first thing he could think of was to call Wen Rui.

The Jiejiao knowledge series that recorded the principles of firearms was written by Wen Rui. The person who tied the bell must untie it. The Jade Emperor could not think of a better way except to ask Wen Rui to come up with a solution.

After all, the treasury of the Heavenly Court is empty now. Not to mention that it cannot afford the huge amount of immortal jade to reinforce the defense shield of Tianmen, even the funds to repair the hole in Nantianmen that was blown open by a cannon will require the Jade Emperor to deduct three months' salary from the immortals to raise the money.

This was just one shell hit. In the future, countless shells will fall to repair the collapsed palace and repeatedly repair the broken shields. Where will these fairy jades come from?

You can't force the Queen Mother to sell those jewelry and feather clothes that fill hundreds of warehouses in exchange for fairy jade, right?

We can't not hold the Peach Festival, right?

You can't not eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow for every meal, right?
But after shouting for a long time, no one answered. None of the immortals gathered here knew where Wen Rui had gone.

The guards from Lingxiao Palace who had gone to the Creation Palace to look for Wen Rui came back to report that the iron puppet at the gate of the Creation Palace said that Wen Tianzun was in seclusion and would not see him even if the Jade Emperor came, and he had no respect for the Jade Emperor's order.

The Jade Emperor was just getting anxious and running around like an ant on a hot pot, when he suddenly heard the Thousand Miles Eyes General beside him say in surprise: "Hey, I think I saw Wen Tianzun. He is in the Taishan Insect Nest right now, fighting with the Demon King!"

The Jade Emperor was also stunned when he heard this. He knew that the Wen family was known for their loyalty, but he didn't expect them to be so loyal.

Not only was he loyal, he was also very brave. Before he could issue the order to send troops to counterattack, people were already fighting in the enemy's lair.

No wonder Wen Rui was nowhere to be seen when they were attacked. He was already in front of the enemy at the first moment. As the "Wen Zi Art of War" says: "Attack is the best defense." He is worthy of being the original author of the Art of War, and he implemented it thoroughly.

The Jade Emperor, who had never had a good impression of Wen Rui, now felt that with such wise ministers and good generals like him, what more could he ask for?

"Quickly project the image you see to me!"

The Thousand Miles Eyes General quickly performed the Round Light Technique, and a circular light screen appeared in front of the immortals. Wen Rui in the screen was suspended in the air. He had taken off two layers of heavy armor and was only wearing the Heavenly Venerable robe, revealing his true appearance, which allowed the Thousand Miles Eyes General to recognize him.

Below Wen Rui was a crater spewing lava. The previous abyss was bulging due to the explosion, forming a new mountain above the earth.

Magma continuously emerges from the crater on the top of the mountain, flowing in all directions. Countless lava rivers have spread across the vast land at the foot of Mount Tai.

The one confronting him was a demon god wearing blood jade armor. The armor was made of green blood and glowed with a bright red light. The armor was a triple layer of armor that covered every inch of the demon god's body.
