Chapter 1470: Chapter 657: Hunger
When chaos broke out in Tianyuan Town.
On the other side, Thunder City wasn’t in much better shape.
The Soothing Spirit Pillar was deteriorating.
At the moment when the power of the Thunder Cloud in the sky was suddenly drained, the balance he desperately maintained between demon and human instantly collapsed.
The demon side completely overwhelmed the human power that would no longer regenerate!
The hard-earned realm, that mysterious realm, collapsed in an instant!
Like deities falling from heaven to earth, this huge disparity almost drove the Soothing Spirit Pillar insane!
But when he rushed to the nearest Sky-reaching Pillar, within the range of the Ru Family’s Sky-reaching Pillar...
BOOM!!!
A bolt of Thunder Power suddenly shot from the Ru Family’s Sky-reaching Pillar, directly striking the Soothing Spirit Pillar!
The violent force knocked him back several steps on the spot.
Meanwhile, he sensed that the feedback from his demon kin within the Ru Family’s Sky-reaching Pillar was rapidly disappearing.
The Ru Family... had already suppressed the Sky-reaching Pillar, just like him, achieving absolute control over the Sky-reaching Pillar!
But the difference was, the Ru Family should have chosen to weaken the Demon Power to barely regain control of the Sky-reaching Pillar.
This contradicted their initial human intention to enhance the demon power of the Sky-reaching Pillar for self-strengthening; it was a regression!
"Human, treating your own Sky-reaching Pillar like this equals weakening your own power!"
The Ru Family elder stood before his Sky-reaching Pillar, commanding everything about it.
"Weaken ourselves? No! Can’t you feel that our Ru Family’s Sky-reaching Pillar, compared to its previous state, has actually strengthened many fold!"
"And you are simply satisfied with this??" The Soothing Spirit Pillar roared in anger.
He needed to reconnect with the demons within the other Ten Pillars, to persuade them to put aside their obsessions and coordinate a balance together, which meant he couldn’t abandon any pillar; otherwise, he would never be able to return to the previous Buddha Demon Realm!
But what the Soothing Spirit Pillar didn’t expect was...
"Of course we’re satisfied! Why wouldn’t we be? As long as the other people’s Sky-reaching Pillars fail, this small enhancement of ours means we’re the sole overlord! You, who don’t understand this calculation, are indeed just a mere demon."
"And you’ve planned this from the start??"
The Soothing Spirit Pillar was getting a bit hysterical.
He found that while demons were merely swayed by greed, still within controllable limits, humans’ thoughts were indeed far more complex.
At this moment, if he wanted to deal with the Ru Family, he would have to consume a large amount of power here, but what about the other pillars?
After a moment’s thought, the Soothing Spirit Pillar turned to leave; he needed to coordinate the other pillars first, gather strength, and then tackle the remaining troubles.
Meanwhile, the Ru Family Head merely watched the massive body of the Soothing Spirit Pillar depart without stopping him.
"Family Head, why not directly seize the Soothing Spirit Pillar? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If our Ru Family holds two pillars, replicating the process, the Family Head would be invincible in the world!"
The Ru Family Head glanced sideways at the person beside him.
How could he not want to do so?
Yet unlike the Soothing Spirit Pillar transforming into a Buddha form.
When humans command the Sky-reaching Pillar, what they gain is just a pillar, a pillar capable of radiating a certain range, massively enhancing the strength of the pillar holder in this area.
Away from the enhancement zone of the Sky-reaching Pillar, he becomes just a normal Martial Artist, with no trace of the Sky-reaching power.
This is also why Thunder City has Ten Pillars; a single Sky-reaching Pillar affects a limited area, insufficient to cover the entire city!
Only the combined Ten Pillars can guard Thunder City, constituting the true Ten Sky-reaching Pillars!
However, in the current situation, simply regaining control of the strengthened and repaired Sky-reaching Pillar is enough for self-preservation.
While the Ru Family Head was pondering this, suddenly!
Voices from other pillar masters echoed in his mind.
"Everyone, there’s a change in situation! The Sky-reaching Pillars of the An Family, Song Family, and Wu Family have all lost control, transforming into Demon bodies! If we don’t join forces, the situation might worsen! Allowing these Three Demons to escape Thunder City, losing three Sky-reaching Pillars is a loss we cannot afford!"
It was the voice of the Bo Family elder.
The Ru Family Head was intrigued, listening as the Bo elder continued.
"I suggest we first join forces to activate the Sky Locking Thunder Array and trap these demon-pillar bodies within Thunder City, and deal with them slowly thereafter!"
The Bo elder’s words stirred everyone.
One Sky-reaching Pillar is enough to place any family at the pinnacle of Thunder City.
With more control of another pillar, the dominance in Thunder City goes without saying!
The long-standing balance should have been broken long ago!
Moreover, who wouldn’t want more power!
"Alright! We’ll follow Bo’s advice, trap the pillar demons first and talk later!"
"I have no objection."
"I agree!"
"No way! My Zhang Family is still struggling with the Sky-reaching Pillar, and a thief is causing havoc in my Zhang Family. I can’t spare the time to activate the array right now!"
"Same here! I have too many demons on my side, providing too much power to the Sky-reaching Pillar; I haven’t conquered it yet!"
Some voiced disagreements, yet the Bo elder continued directly.
"No problem, we’ll initiate the array first, exert whatever strength we can, afterwards we’ll assist you in suppressing the Sky-reaching Pillar!"
The Bo elder’s firm stance brought everyone else into alignment.
"Let’s begin! I’ll take the lead!"
Only to hear the Bo elder roar.
BOOM!!!
Bolts of thunder erupted almost simultaneously from the Sky-reaching Pillars, spreading rapidly along ground veins towards the surrounding city walls.
