A glimmer of hope.
These four simple words made the hearts of all the top masters sink, but in the end they retained hope and did not completely despair.
"Senior Wanliu, please continue." Emperor Dongpan said in a low voice.
"senior."
"No matter how high the price is, no matter what we are asked to do, as long as we still have hope, we must fight for it." Taoist Wanxing said slowly.
Many of the experts on the Heavenly Ranking also had glaring eyes.
"If you want to kill the insect demon."
"First, it's time." Wu Yuan said slowly: "We can't give it any more time to grow. In terms of growth speed, not many practitioners can be as fast as it. Therefore, it must be fast! It must be strangled as quickly as possible. "
All the top experts on the list are listening.
"Second, it's unity."
"I know that Middle-earth is divided into many forces. In fact, it seems very ridiculous to me that there are so many forces in the small Middle-earth." Wu Yuan shook his head and said: "However, since it is divided into many forces, it means that you will understand each other. There is a grudge.”
"However, in the face of this catastrophe, you must unite as one, put aside your past grudges, join forces, and advance and retreat together."
"There is only a glimmer of hope to kill the insect demon."
"If you still have small thoughts and think about hiding your clumsiness, you are destined to perish." Wu Yuan said slowly.
Many top experts on the Heavenly Ranking fell into deep thought.
Hatred? indeed!
All the forces have grudges against each other. For example, the Jin Empire went to war with the Quartet. How could they not accumulate grudges for hundreds of years?
Like the human race's top masters and many heavenly demons, they are divided into clans.
There is also a lot of grudges.
"The third thing is not to be afraid of sacrifice, but to be prepared to die." Wu Yuan said calmly: "You can't beat the insect demon even if you use up your energy. There don't seem to be many Tongxuan realm demon soldiers under the insect demon. But how do you know how many there are in the Demon Cave?"
"How do you know how quickly it gestates?"
"You masters on the Heavenly Ranking, it's not easy for one of you to die and one of you to be born."
"So, we can only concentrate our strength, rush into the demon cave in one fell swoop, and try our best to kill the insect demon, so that we can have a chance of survival." Wu Yuan glanced at each of the heavenly rankings: "Similarly, the closer you get to the insect demon, the harder it will be. crazy."
"In other words, in this battle, whoever rushes to the front will have an astonishingly high probability of dying."
hurry up! Unity!
Don't be afraid of sacrifice!
These three points are simple to say, but how difficult are they to achieve? People are selfish, and human nature is complex.
Everyone knows that a great disaster is coming.
But who wants to be the first to take the lead?
There was silence in the conference hall, and all the experts on the Heavenly Ranking were lost in thought.
Wu Yuan also said nothing, he was still thinking.
suddenly.
A voice sounded: "Senior Wanliu, if this battle with the insect demon reaches the final battle, let me be the vanguard."
"Haha, I won't live long with my old bones."
Everyone couldn't help but look at it.
It’s Taoist Wanxing!
He was dressed in black robes and looked calm.
"Wanxing." Wu Yuan looked at Taoist Wanxing in surprise. He did not expect that the first one to stand up would be him.
"Senior brother." Liu Junxing couldn't help but said.
"Shut up." Taoist Wanxing frowned. Facing Liu Junxing, his innate tyranny emerged spontaneously.
Liu Junxing had no choice but to shut up.
"Fellow Taoists." Taoist Wanxing glanced at the many Heavenly Rankings: "According to what Senior Wanliu said, if we, the masters of the Heavenly Rankings, escape from the Middle Earth, or even more distant Xinzhou, or even venture into the 'No Spiritual Realm' ’, we can still survive, and even survive completely.”
"But!"
"This is Middle-earth."
"It is our hometown that carries our memories."
"Since King Wu designated the thirteen states, it has been passed down from generation to generation for more than three thousand years. We, the masters of the Heavenly Ranking, are the pinnacle experts who have emerged from countless creatures in Middle-earth."
"Faced with such a catastrophe."
"If we all run away, are we all going to survive?" Taoist Wanxing shook his head slightly and said, "Then, who can the hundreds of millions of creatures in Middle Earth rely on?"
"I have reached the end of my life. If I wish, I can live until the end of my life. But why should I practice cultivation in this life and live for more than four hundred years?"
"Practice is not only for longevity, but also for not regretting!"
"Everyone is destined to die. Even if I lose this battle in the end and lose to this so-called insect demon, I just want to have no regrets." Wanxing Taoist Feng Shen was handsome, and finally looked at Wu Yuan calmly.
Everyone looked at Taoist Wanxing in shock.
Wu Yuan was also stunned for a moment and looked at Taoist Wanxing.
He just felt that in the past, he seemed to have misunderstood this master who had been famous all over the world for hundreds of years.
To have such a high prestige!
To be able to make all the powerful forces secretly regarded as their leaders, Taoist Wanxing relied on more than just force.
Similarly, Wan Xing's words also made Wu Yuan think deeply.
"Ten thousand stars!"
"When it comes to the decisive battle, I will go with you." Another rough voice laughed: "We have known each other for two hundred years. How can you forget me at this critical moment?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at him again.
It’s Emperor Dongpan!
The leader of Wuzong.
Taoist Wanxing couldn't help but smile. The two of them had known each other for hundreds of years, manipulating the situation in China and fighting against the Jin Emperor together.
At such a time of catastrophe that threatens China-Earth, we are willing to join forces to kill the enemy.
Face this scene.
Wu Yuan, Fang Xia, King Qionghai, and even many experts on the Heavenly Ranking all had a faint sense of admiration in their hearts.
"Two fellow Taoists, there is no need to be so hasty!"
Wu Yuan said slowly: "Urgent, I am not in a hurry for this moment. Next, I will present more detailed information about the 'Insect Demon' that I know."
"All fellow Taoists, please read it and discuss countermeasures."
"Let's see what we should do to deal with this catastrophe." Wu Yuan waved his hand, and immediately, more words appeared in the light screen on the side.
Just now, Wu Yuan had obtained extremely high authority from the Middle-earth Immortal Palace.
Masters such as Taoist Wanxing and Emperor Dongpan began to read the changing words in the light curtain in detail and record them one by one.
"That demonic soldier is equivalent to the 'incarnation' of the insect demon?"
"If you kill the demon soldier, will the insect demon also know about it?"
"Magic soldiers are different from practitioners. They all have energy cores in their bodies. Is this energy core equivalent to high-quality 'Source Stone'?"
"Insect Demon, there is no cultivation bottleneck..." Many experts on the Heavenly Ranking were talking about it, and they were shocked by the detailed information about the Insect Demon.
This information is both good and bad.
soon.
They read it all.
"Fellow Taoists, half the battle is won if you know yourself and the enemy. Senior Wanliu has told us the detailed information about the insect demon." Emperor Dongpan said in a deep voice: "Next, it is up to each of us to think about it. Is there any way to deal with the insect demon?"
"After three hours, we will make the final decision."
In the conference hall, many experts from the Heaven Ranking were thinking and discussing.
at the same time.
There are also Tianban masters leaving the Middle-earth Immortal Palace one after another. After all, not every Tianban master has arrived at this meeting.
Like Jin Ji's consciousness, he left the Middle-earth Immortal Palace, obviously to find Emperor Jin!
..."Senior Wanliu."
"Fellow Taoist Fang Xia." Emperor Dongpan and Taoist Wanxing have joined forces to look for Wu Yuan and Fang Xia, and an invisible barrier appears.
Make it impossible for others to hear their conversation.
"You guys say it," Wu Yuan said.
"I dare to ask Senior Wanliu, can you take action this time to help China-Earth survive the catastrophe?" Taoist Wanxing whispered.
Emperor Dongpan looked at Wu Yuan longingly.
"No." Wu Yuan shook his head.
Emperor Dongpan and Taoist Wanxing looked at each other. Even though they had expected it, they still felt a little disappointed.
"You should understand that it was I who took Fang Xia and ventured through the 'No Spiritual Realm' before returning to Middle-earth." Wu Yuan said calmly: "Just because I am willing to help Fang Xia does not mean that I am willing to risk my life."
"Just like the last time the Jin Dynasty attacked the Hengyun Sect, I didn't take action directly." Wu Yuan said calmly: "Although the insect demon is very dangerous, for me, the threat of tens of hundreds of years later is meaningless. "
"Middle-earth is your hometown, not mine."
Take action?
With Wanliu's identity, there was no way he could take action.
"Senior, I have nothing to worry about. Our request is too much. I hope you will forgive me." Taoist Wanxing said in a low voice: "Senior, we are extremely grateful for providing information about the 'Insect Demon'."
"Thank you, senior." Emperor Dongpan said in the same way.
"No need to thank you, I'm afraid you are still resentful in your hearts." Wu Yuan said calmly: "However, I will not take action in this battle."
"But, I can't stop my disciple Wu Yuan."
"He will fight." Wu Yuan said.
"Wu Yuan?" Emperor Dongpan was confused.
"Is that the young genius of the Hengyun Sect?" Taoist Wanxing was stunned: "Didn't he just become a grandmaster not long ago?"
"Haha." Wu Yuan smiled and said calmly: "I have become a body refiner. Although my strength is not strong enough, I can barely contribute."
"He is a citizen of Middle-earth. He wants to participate in the war. I can't stop him. I hope that when the war comes, the two Taoists can take care of him."
Taoist Wanxing was extremely shocked when he heard this, and almost lost his voice: "Physique Refiner? A twenty-one-year-old Body Refiner?"
This time.
It was Emperor Dongpan's turn to be shocked.
Twenty-one top masters? God!
"Two fellow Taoists, Wu Yuan is already extremely talented. Over the past few years, he has received the guidance of fellow Taoist Wanliu and taken many treasures to become a body refiner. It is normal." Fang Xia said with a smile.
"It's normal to have Senior Wanliu as your teacher." Taoist Wanxing said with emotion, "However, it's still shocking!"
"This Wu Yuan is truly extremely talented."
"Unfortunately."
Taoist Wanxing seemed full of regret: "There is not enough time for him to grow."
Without this catastrophe.
Taoist Wanxing and Emperor Dongpan may not be willing to see the rise of some peerless geniuses.
But now that they are facing a catastrophe, they will naturally consider the overall situation.
…
After chatting with Taoist Wanxing and Emperor Dongpan.
Wu Yuan and Fang Xia successively exited the Middle-earth Immortal Palace and came to the sky above Yunshan Mountain.
Bu Yu and Huan Jian are still in the secret room underground.
"Young Master, is it appropriate that you choose to reveal your true identity now?" Fang Xia couldn't help but ask.
"When you first came back, you concealed the fact that I was unable to protect myself." Wu Yuan smiled slightly: "But now?"
"I have reached the third level of Tongxuan."
"There are magic weapons you have refined, and you have also practiced many methods." Wu Yuan said calmly: "Looking at the world, I am not afraid of anyone, so what else do I need to worry about?"
"not to mention!"
"Sooner or later it will be exposed."
"You have also seen the information about the insect demon. Can we avoid this battle?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly and pointed to the endlessly prosperous Yunshan City in the distance: "Just as Taoist Wanxing said."
"If we retreat."
"All the billions of creatures on Middle Earth must die!"
"Old Fang, tell me, can we retreat?" Wu Yuan looked at Fang Xia with clear eyes.
Fang Xia was silent.
Immediately.
Fang Xia suddenly smiled: "Young Master, since you have made up your mind to participate in this battle, it is my duty to do so."
"If I die, I will die first!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Old Fang, you are much better at it. Think about it, is there any way to survive this catastrophe?" Wu Yuan said.
"Yes!" Fang Xia said without hesitation.
"Say it." Wu Yuan's eyes lit up.
"Ding Wu Realm." Fang Xia said solemnly: "On the Middle Earth, the only one who can find a way to eliminate the insect demon in one fell swoop is the Realm Master."
"Ding Wu Realm?" Wu Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes becoming firm: "Okay, Lao Fang, you can think of other ways. I won't waste time and go directly to Ding Wu Realm."
Whoosh!
Wu Yuan moved and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Chuzhou.
"Wu Yuan!"
Fang Xia watched Wu Yuan leave in the background, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he murmured: "There is indeed a reason why the realm master chose you. Perhaps, you will really be worthy of me, Fang Xia, calling you 'young master' in the future." .”
…
Whoosh!
Wu Yuan flew across the ground at an astonishing speed of more than ten miles per second.
He ran towards Chuzhou.
Over the past few years, Wu Yuan's understanding of the mysteries of the earth has reached an extremely high level. Although he has not yet reached the 'realm', he is far better than before.
At least, Wu Yuan was running across the land at such an astonishing speed.
None of them caused any vibration in the air.
Along the way, jumping over mountains and crossing rivers, Wu Yuan saw a vibrant scene.
"The insect demon is not a beast, it is a demon!"
"They are the most terrifying type among the prison demons. Wherever they touch you, your life will be in dire straits!" Wu Yuan took in everything and became more and more determined.
"In this battle, I might be able to escape."
"In a few decades, I may be able to cultivate to the spiritual realm. By then, I will have more ways to escape from China."
"Even if the insect demon wants to submerge the entire Xiashan Mountain, it will take at least hundreds of years."
"I have every hope of avoiding this disaster."
"But if I retreat today and let the insect demon turn everything in Middle-earth into nothing, will I regret it in the future?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
He thought of his mother and sister.
Thinking of the Wu clan.
I thought of Gao Yu, Zhao Baifan, Wu Sheng, Luo He and other old friends. These are people and things worth remembering in life.
He thought of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Jiangzhou and the various states in the Central Plains that he had visited.
"I am Wu Yuan from Blue Star!"
"But, I am Wu Yuan of Middle-earth." Wu Yuan had a trace of determination in his eyes and ran faster.
Thousands of miles.
For Wu Yuan, it's not too far.
…
When Wu Yuan rushed towards Ding Wu Realm with all his strength, the experts from many forces in the world were also discussing.
Shengzhou, within the forbidden royal area of the Jin Empire.
Deep in the cave.
"Father, according to what Wanliu said, if we can't stop the insect demon, it will be a disaster." Jin Ji whispered: "Just now, Emperor Dongpan and Taoist Wanxing came to ask me, do you Can we get out of seclusion and join forces to fight?"
A hundred-meter-long black snake coiled aside.
"Insect demon?" The purple-robed phantom sat on the jade platform, equally shocked: "How could a demon appear in our middle-earth country?"
He couldn't believe it.
"Master, Jin Ji and I are equally surprised. This is confirmed." The Black Snake King said in a low voice: "The fall of the wild god is true."
The purple-robed shadow fell silent, lost in thought.
quite a while.
"Master, do you want to leave seclusion?" Black Snake King asked tentatively.
"No!"
The purple-robed figure slowly shook his head, with a stern look on his face: "I am at the critical moment of breakthrough. If I break through, I can control the entire treasure mirror. Once I get out of seclusion, all my previous efforts will be in vain."
"If I come out of seclusion, even if I join forces with Wanxing and the others, I want to kill the insect demon? The hope is slim!" said the purple-robed shadow.
Jin Ji and the black snake both listened.
"In this battle, even if the entire Middle-earth cultivating world unites, the winning rate is probably less than 30%." The purple-robed figure shook his head and said: "Since it is difficult to win, we must make a plan to escape if we fail."
"Father, do you have a way to escape?" Jin Ji couldn't help but asked: "Is it to break into the spiritless realm?"
"Spiritless Realm? It's better to fight to the death against the Insect Demon than to survive a narrow escape." The purple-robed shadow shook his head and said: "Remember, no matter how strong the Insect Demon is, it cannot devour it infinitely. It also needs time to grow."
"As long as I can control the treasure realm, we will have a way to leave Middle-earth."
Both Jin Ji and the black snake's eyes lit up.
"I will seize the time and strive to break through as quickly as possible." The purple-robed shadow said: "You go to fight, you will win the best."
"But remember, the priority is to save your life, and come back if you can't do anything about it." The purple-robed shadow asked.
"yes."
Jin Ji and the black snake nodded at the same time.
Since they have hope of survival, they naturally have no idea of desperate efforts.
"in addition."
"Didn't the seven-star black flame array and the six-pole array flag fall into Fang Xia's hands?" The purple-robed shadow said: "Let's take this opportunity to force Fang Xia to surrender the array flag on the grounds of dealing with the 'Insect Demon' Hand it over."
"This set of formations is of amazing value." The purple-robed shadow said.
"Okay, kid, I'll act according to the opportunity." Jin Ji nodded, already knowing what he was doing.
…
Running all the way.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Wu Yuan traveled thousands of miles from Jiangzhou to the Jiexian Mountain area in Chuzhou.
As in the past, there were a large number of sergeants patrolling the place.
However, even Wu Yuan, who had the strength of a grandmaster back then, couldn't stop him, let alone now?
"Border Master, Wu Yuan has something important to do. I hope the realm master can meet with you." Wu Yuan turned his palm and took out the Chujiang Order and said in a low voice toward the void.
Wu Yuan knew.
The 200-mile radius of Jie Xian Mountain is covered by Ding Wu Realm, and the realm masters can detect and sense it.
quite a while.
"Buzz~" A stream of light bloomed from the Chujiang Order, and then enveloped Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan only felt an invisible force blessing him.
No resistance.
"Wow~" The stream of light flashed past, and when the surrounding scene condensed, it was the temple that had received the inheritance.
"Wu Yuan!"
Dao's majestic voice sounded: "If you don't practice well outside, why do you suddenly come to my place?"
"Border Master."
Wu Yuan saluted respectfully towards the majestic figure at the end of the hall: "I hope the Realm Lord will save me from Middle-earth... The insect demon is about to sweep the world."
Very quickly, Wu Yuan recounted what had just happened in Huangzhou.
"Insect demon? Barren state? Tens of thousands of miles apart?" The realm leader's figure was illusory, and his voice echoed through the temple: "Wu Yuan, I can't save Middle-earth."
"Even if I can, I won't save Middle-earth."
