boom!
The lightning bolt streaked across the sky, bombarding the mountains and fields, and igniting the vast forests.
The beast's feet, as large as mountain peaks, were covered in scales and had sharp claws. With one stomp, it flattened a low hill. The enormous dragon turtle raised its head and let out a deep roar.
This dragon turtle was so large that its entire form could not be seen at a glance. On its shell, covered in layers of rock, lay a mountain.
That ball of lightning originated from the mountain.
The massive mountain was hollowed out to create a base large enough to support tens of thousands of people; the entire mountain became a military fortress.
Carrying the mountain on its back, this is the Baxia base of Dongxia.
The entire base is built on the back of a giant dragon-turtle beast, and can be moved at any time, representing Dongxia's military deterrence.
There are also many platforms on the mountain, with turrets built on them. The lightning ball was launched from one of these turrets.
A large amount of vital energy was gathered by the turret, condensed into lightning in a giant cannon, condensed into a sphere, and then launched.
Clearly, this is one of the results of the Eastern Xia Federation's development of primordial energy. Because it utilizes primordial energy, it can also play a role in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Lightning balls swept across the ground, igniting mountains and rivers.
Amidst the roar, sentry posts hidden in the mountains were cleared away.
Meanwhile, in the sky, wind and thunder shook, creating a sea of thunderclouds.
"Boom—"
'
Thunder roared, tearing through the thunderclouds, and two figures flew out from within, sometimes colliding, sometimes intersecting, bringing with them streaks of lightning that moved like dragons and snakes.
"Remus, if this is all you've got, then the Nine Peaks Peak is ours today."
95
Amidst the lightning, a vast and powerful aura was released. In the already gloomy sky, ominous clouds gathered, and an incomparably majestic dragon shadow appeared.
"Boom!"
Beyond the thunder, wind and rain reappeared, and the surging energy shook the lightning for dozens of miles.
Then, amidst the wind and rain, the enormous dragon shadow undulated like a mountain range, and atop its head, a figure uttered a mocking utterance.
He was a man around thirty years old, with a robust build, wearing a blue robe, his medium-length hair parted in the middle and hanging down over his shoulders, which were much broader than those of an average person. His handsome face was radiant, possessing a majesty and charm that seemed beyond human capabilities.
Its bearing is more like that of a soaring dragon in the sky, swallowing wind and clouds, making people's hearts tremble at the sight of it.
"Dragon King" Na Xiangtian is one of the strongest in Dongxia. He once fought a real dragon and defeated it. In a single day, he broke through the two great heavenly barriers of body and spirit, and was known as a legend.
Opposite the Dragon King, the dazzling lightning bolt also stopped its retreat, revealing a figure wrapped in lightning with blazing white eyes.
This is also a famous demigod of the Heavenly Gate, the brother of the current ruling emperor of the Divine Luo Empire—"Storm Overlord" Remus.
Remus is a member of the Jupiter family and possesses the blood of Thor, while the Dragon King follows the way of dragons and is most skilled at summoning wind and rain. The two clashed upon meeting, determined to determine who was superior.
But now it seems that taking the sky is still the better option.
Upon hearing the Dragon King's mockery, Remus immediately flew into a rage.
"Again!"
He roared, stirring up wind and thunder, which shocked the surrounding area for miles.
However, the Dragon King only sneered, "As expected of a barbarian who only cultivates strength and not mind, his mind is so easily shaken."
As he spoke, the Dragon King stretched out his hand into a claw, ready to strike again.
However, at that moment, a chilling black aura surged from the distant sky, and boundless darkness rapidly expanded.
In just a moment, half the sky was shrouded in darkness.
"Grand Duke Pluto".
The Dragon King slowly lowered his hand, a solemn expression appearing on his face.
Although Remus is strong, he is not considered a top figure in the Shinra Empire, while Grand Duke Pluto is one of the top three strongest demigods in the Shinra Empire.
Previously, the Holy Roman Empire was able to hold off the Eastern Xia's forces because Grand Duke Pluto was in charge.
Now, Grand Duke Pluto has arrived at the Nine Peaks.
He had to come, after all, he was the one who caused the conflict with the other two dukes.
Beneath that deep darkness, even the lightning that ripped through the sky seemed dim. Seeing this, Remus's expression also darkened.
However, he suppressed his temper and joined forces against external forces.
With Grand Duke Pluto's assistance, the Dragon King could no longer advance even half a step.
"Come back."
A voice came from the darkness.
"Now?"
Remus, who was about to make a move, showed annoyance.
"People from Dongxia have also arrived; it's Yun Cheng Wanlipeng, and that demigod from the Baxia base hasn't made a move yet."
Grand Duke Pluto sent a message from afar.
Meanwhile, the Dragon King seemed to have heard the message and slowly descended from the sky.
The dragon's shadow, which had been hovering in the air, dissipated as the Dragon King retreated, and the gloomy sky gradually returned to calm.
The two sides seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and left separately.
"Dragon King" landed on the mountaintop platform of Baxia Base and immediately saw Cheng Peng, dressed in casual clothes like an ordinary young man, and another middle-aged man in military uniform with white hair.
"Why should we stop?" the Dragon King said bluntly. "This stinky bird is here too. They're the ones who should retreat."
"I didn't come here to fight against the Shinra Empire."
Cheng Peng shrugged and said, "On the contrary, I'm here to tell you not to be too reckless."
It's clear that his relationship with the Dragon King isn't very good.
Cheng Peng is the most popular martial artist in Tianguan. After all, he has been a firefighter for so many years, going everywhere to save people from danger and lend a helping hand.
The Dragon King, on the other hand, is one of the most unpopular martial artists in the Heavenly Gate, yet he is someone who can sit at the same table as Ye Liuyun.
In addition, Cheng Peng has a good relationship with Yujing Martial Arts University and is also acquainted with Ye Liuyun.
Therefore, the Dragon King and Cheng Peng had a bad relationship.
Who can blame them when the Dragon King and Ye Liuyun are sworn enemies?
The middle-aged man on the other side handed a jade slip to the Dragon King, saying, "We just received news that a large number of evil god believers have gathered near the primeval forest and Shuiyunze, including members of the Eternal Life Cult. The Martial Arts Association and the military plan to first encircle and suppress the evil god believers and members of the Eternal Life Cult. We must avoid further escalating the war with the Divine Luo Empire."
"By the way, I'm investigating the Great Freedom Demonic Cult, and I've discovered that its followers are also gathering in the primeval forest," Cheng Peng added.
These two factors combined have created the current situation.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King's expression softened slightly, but he still said, "I want to stay here and have a go at Pruto."
"The Shinra Empire is indeed a troublemaker that needs to be guarded against, and they will have to pay a price, but not now."
The middle-aged man said, "The Baxia base will continue to press forward until the Shinra Empire yields. As for the primeval forest..."
"That was my job."
Cheng Peng said, "I will go to the primeval forest first to check the situation. However, the Baxia base also needs to be prepared. If necessary, the military base may mobilize its entire force to encircle and annihilate the Great Freedom Demonic Sect."
"it is good."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he summoned his orderly and asked him to give the order.
However, he failed to notice that as his orderly turned around, an invisible thought arose in his mind.
On the other side, at the edge of Shuiyunze, in the camp of Tia Market.
The five evil gods had already devoured all the living souls like hungry ghosts.
These are all people who frequent the world of mountains and seas. Even though a large number of people from Sanskrit and Indian Buddhism are mixed in, their quality is enough to satisfy the evil gods.
.....
...
Even if they are from the Brahma-India region, they must be capable people from the Brahma-India region to survive in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Bai Ze didn't have any noble or righteous intentions when he went to save these Indians.
He only managed to save Dark Raven Number One and Number Two, and then kept observing the Shadow of the Evil God.
After consuming the living souls, the phantom of Lakshmi had become more solidified. It seemed that these living souls had been of considerable help to them.
These are evil gods who have survived from that chaotic era to the present day. Surely they haven't even eaten a few living souls?
Or is their urgent need for living souls immediate? Bai Ze pondered.
If that's the case, then these evil gods appeared here not just to hold a Forest Friends gathering. All of this is probably just a prelude.
They weren't really starving ghosts, but rather they needed a large number of living souls to prepare.
As Bai Ze pondered this, he waited for a message from the Baxia base.
As long as there is a message from Baxia's base in the vicinity, Bai Ze can receive it automatically.
Even after reaching the Mountain and Sea Realm, it would be difficult for Bai Ze to conceal the communication channels between Dongxia and Dongxia.
only··...
The white-robed man, who was being controlled by Bai Ze, suddenly became serious and took out a grayish-brown insect.
It looked like a cicada, only bigger and flatter than a normal cicada.
Bai Ze immediately searched the white-robed man's memories and learned that it was a kind of insect called "Qingfu".
Legend has it that when the Qingfu (a mythical creature) gives birth to offspring, the mother and offspring will always reunite after being separated. Therefore, the ancients would smear the blood of the Qingfu mother and offspring on coins. Coins smeared with either the mother's or the offspring's blood would fly back after being spent, which is the origin of the saying "Qingfu returns money".
Of course, the latter is false; it's merely some legend.
However, this does not prevent the Immortal Order from utilizing the properties of the Azure Fly.
They brought the Qingfu to the Mountain and Sea Realm and cultivated it using the local environment. After hundreds of generations of mutations, some Qingfu finally emerged with unique characteristics.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, the mother and child of the Qingfu can communicate with each other. By controlling them with divine thought, they can achieve the purpose of conveying information through this special connection.
"The Pope has sent orders for us to enter the primeval forest immediately," the man in white said.
At the same time, the followers of the evil god seemed to have received a divine revelation, and they were all kowtowing.
Bai Ze:
I haven't received any news from the Baxia base yet, but you guys found out about the situation first.
Bai Ze almost laughed out of anger.
Although the Eternal Life Cult and the evil god didn't explicitly state anything, they simply issued orders for their subordinates and followers to enter the primeval forest. But Bai Ze wasn't stupid. After a simple connection, he could determine that this was most likely not a coincidence, but a precautionary measure.
There's definitely a traitor at the Baxia base.
Such classified information could be obtained in a short time; before the Baxia base even had a chance to reply, Koshche already knew the situation.
How did our Dongxia become like this?
However, from another perspective, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
At least Bai Ze knew that there was definitely a traitor in Baxia's base, and that he could find the enemy's core stronghold right now.
He watched as the evil god's followers, having finished their worship, quickly packed up their belongings and left the camp with the members of the Eternal Life Cult.
Bai Ze and Tian Gong Dao Man remained invisible throughout, following behind silently.
The group used their lightness skills to travel quickly and soon entered the area of Shuiyunze.
The surrounding fog gradually thickened, and as far as the eye could see, only the scene within three meters could be observed.
The surrounding trees grew taller and taller, with aerial roots spreading across the ground like thick wooden snakes.
The fog is not simply a natural phenomenon, but rather a product of the combination of vital energy and water vapor, which also affects the spiritual senses of martial artists.
We walked like this for about three hours, and then the fog started to clear, and it seemed like we were almost at the end.
But at the same time, the towering trees around them quietly disappeared without a trace.
Amidst the dissipating mist, only a vast expanse of black earth came into view, where a stone archway carved with eerie runes stood silently.
In the center of the archway is a constantly rotating crimson vortex.
"My lord, the space has shifted," Tiangong Daoman whispered.
Without a sound, the surrounding space changed, transforming from the original primeval forest into this eerie area.
A cold voice rang out at that moment.
"When you enter the Paradise of Transformation, your thoughts and ideas, even your past memories, will be revealed for screening purposes."
""
"The Pope said that his old friend is most skilled in illusion and deception. In order to prevent that old friend from becoming an uninvited guest, the Pope set a threshold to find that old friend."
"The Pope also said that there is only one road leading to the depths of the primeval forest, and no matter which direction you enter from, you must pass through Hualetian. He sincerely hopes that his old friend will show up in person to avoid making this trip. Of course, he also welcomes his old friend to experience the wonders of Hualetian."
Upon hearing these words, the followers of the evil god looked warily at the people around them, seriously suspecting that the "old friend" was hiding among them.
The members of the Eternal Life Cult were also filled with doubt and looked around.
Bai Ze looked at the gate and cursed inwardly, "So this is where they were waiting for me."
No wonder they ordered everyone to enter the primeval forest; it turns out there was another hurdle ahead.
If we must enter the Huale Heaven, rather than conducting an inspection on a specific target, then even if Bai Ze uses illusions to conceal his whereabouts, it will be useless.
The memories of everyone who passes by must be revealed. Damn, don't cultists have any right to privacy?
Upon closer reflection, it seems they really don't have the right to privacy.
They've all become the possessions of the evil god, serving as his dogs. What right do they have to privacy? They don't even get human rights.
As for the members of the Order of Immortality, they could not possibly resist under Koch's orders.
No one showed up on their own initiative.
""
The voice waited for a while, and seeing that nothing happened, it continued, "Then, come in."
