Cracks appeared one after another, and the forbidden area of the Lan family began to tremble crazily, as if it could completely shatter at any time if it withstood the damage.
Lan Gu and others were prepared to deal with it, and even ordered the fleet to retreat a long distance again.
Everyone in the fleet also looked nervous. You must know that they are the elite combat force of the Lan family. The spaceships they are equipped with are the top crystallization of today's Dark Spirit technology, although most of them are formed by ordinary people who are not Dark Spirits. , but with the blessing of dark spiritual weapons, it is not impossible to besiege and destroy a high-level controller.
But now, this fleet that has experienced hundreds of battles seems to be under great pressure. Each soldier's face can't help but show a trace of fear, which shows how tight their inner nerves are. stretch.
The pressure coming from the direction of the forbidden area is really too terrifying. It is a kind of terrifying pressure from the life level, which can only be released by high-level dark spirits.
Some veterans' palms are already soaked with sweat, and they have to go through more than those recruits who don't know anything.
They who had participated in an action against a certain high-level control-level powerhouse clearly remembered that the powerhouse they and others had paid a heavy price to kill, the pressure they brought to them was far less than the pressure on the person in front of them.
"Has...really reached the peak? Or is it already close to the peak?"
Lan Gu and Lan Yue looked at each other with unconcealable shock in their eyes.
The moment you break through, you will reach your peak. This is easy to say if you are in a low-level realm, but in the upper-level control realm, where you can become king without breaking through, it is really unbelievable.
"We'll see. I just hope he doesn't come to his senses and turn into a madman. Otherwise, my Lan family may be in big trouble today..."
Lan Gu looked serious, and with a wave of his hand, he arranged numerous magic circles around the forbidden area.
When branding the fourth star pattern, if the brander cannot withstand the pain of the branding, or if there are serious mistakes and deviations in the subsequent dark spiritual power guidance stage, then he may become irrational. Madness.
This kind of crazy demon is like a savage star beast. It kills everyone on sight, is completely unable to communicate, and is also extremely powerful. It is similar to the crazy demons in the martial arts of the ancient continent, so once it appears, it will be in that galaxy. A very big scourge.
The Lan family is prepared with both hands and is ready to fight against the crazy Zhang Xiaoman.
However, the aura coming from the forbidden area at this moment was a bit too strong, which made Lan Gu, an elder at the peak control level, unable to help but feel unsure.
"Kacha~"
With a sound like a mirror breaking, the entire Lan family's forbidden area could no longer withstand this force and completely shattered.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
At the same time, endless colorful light shot out from the forbidden area. It was a kind of radiation coming from dark spiritual power. It moved at dark speed. Even a fleet millions of kilometers away could see it immediately. .
Immediately afterwards, under the reflection of this colorful light, a pattern of a six-pointed star appeared in everyone's minds. Some experienced people knew that it was the star pattern imprinted by the pole star.
"Success!"
Lan Yue's face showed joy, and Lan Gu beside him couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
At this point, it is basically certain that the brander has overcome the difficulties of branding, has successfully branded the fourth star pattern, and has not turned into a terrifying madman.
The light surged wildly in the surrounding cosmic space for a long time, and finally converged back. At this time, everyone looked over there to see where there was any Lan Family forbidden land. The entire Lan Family forbidden land no longer existed.
In the center of the convergence of light, a handsome man with long hair reaching his waist is closing his eyes tightly. The clothes he wore previously have long been broken, and are now replaced by a suit of armor engraved with the stars of the universe. His temperament is otherworldly and yet seems to be... The majesty of being able to dominate the world is like the reincarnation of the God of War. When people see it, they can't help but feel like they kneel down and worship.
Zhang Xiaoman slowly opened his eyes. He took a slight look at the broken forbidden land around him, and felt the ultimate power in his body. He felt as if he could blow up this galaxy with one punch.
"What a powerful force, I finally broke through! I didn't expect that this time the star pattern's brand actually allowed me to absorb the energy of the entire forbidden land, and directly broke through to the peak state!"
Zhang Xiaoman squeezed his fist gently, and the space around his palm fluctuated slightly.
He had encountered a little trouble when absorbing the star pattern before, but at the critical moment, the Nayuan Jue taught to him by Ni Yang suddenly started to operate on its own. Zhang Xiaoman was surprised to find that this magical power was actually related to the star pattern imprinted on it. The Guidance Technique was very suitable. It not only successfully helped him resolve the crisis, but also increased the extent of the absorption. In the end, he absorbed the power of the entire forbidden land into his body.
With the blessing of the power of the forbidden land, Zhang Xiaoman's breakthrough was unstoppable. He made great progress all the way, and finally reached the peak of the upper control level.
This is the reason why he has communicated all the dark spirit sequences, so he will not be restricted by the realm. As long as his dark spirit power is enough, he can directly enter the next realm.
Zhang Xiaoman's current strength can be said to be on the same level as Lan Gu, a veteran powerhouse who has been practicing for tens of thousands of years. He has almost no rivals in the extraordinary world. Apart from Ni Yang, he is also the well-deserved number one in the Star Alliance. .
"Congratulations to Elder Ji Xing for successfully breaking through to the control level."
There was a stream of light across the sky, and the figures of Lan Gu and Lan Yue appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoman along with the light.
"Thank you, Chief Lan, and Master Yue."
Zhang Xiaoman also bowed to the other party to express his gratitude.
This time he was able to make rapid progress in strength, and the help of the Lan family was not small. In addition to gathering materials for him, the last forbidden land also had a huge contribution. If he hadn't absorbed the power of the entire forbidden land, then he It is impossible to break through to the peak state directly.
"Ji Xing, now that you have completed the branding, you should be ready to start cultivating it, right?"
Lan Yue began to talk about cultivation, which was generally the second step after the star pattern branding was successful.
"It's just a pity. We originally arranged a cultivation circle for you in this forbidden area, but now the forbidden area has been shattered. If Elder Jixing wants to nourish, I'm afraid he needs to find another place."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded when he heard this and said:
"Thank you Master Yue for your concern, but I have my own plans for Yunyang, but I accidentally destroyed this forbidden area this time..."
Lan Gu suddenly spoke at this time and said:
"Elder Jixing, you don't have to feel guilty. We didn't arrange the matter in the forbidden area in advance, and it scared you. However, I'm afraid your cultivation plan this time will be slightly affected. It's best to postpone it for a while..."
"Oh? What do you say?"
Lan Gu placed a layer of barrier around him and then said:
"I wonder if Elder Ji Xing has ever heard of the Plague Relics?"
"Plague ruins? Where is that place?"
Zhang Xiaoman expressed complete ignorance of this.
Lan Gu explained with a genuine expression:
"The plague ruins are one of the nine ancient ruins. They were the training place of a transcendent god. According to legend, they are filled with the treasures of heaven and earth left by her. There are also fourth-level dark spirit materials in them. There are endless skills that are above the perfect level, and the opportunities are endless.”
"Oh, it turns out they are ancient ruins. I have read some related information. I heard that these ruins do contain a lot of good things, but they are also full of dangers. I don't know what Patriarch Lan mentioned about the ruins and my cultivation. What’s the connection?”
Zhang Xiaoman nodded. Although he said so, there was also a vague guess in his heart.
Sure enough, Lan Gu said:
"Elder Ji Xing must have guessed something. Yes, I want Elder Ji Xing to go to the plague ruins with me. This action can be regarded as your fulfillment of the promise to my Lan family."
"Take action? Head to the plague ruins?"
"Yes, the Plague Ruins, as one of the nine ancient ruins, is the former dojo of the God of Plague. It is located in a self-proclaimed small world. The entrance is located at the intersection of the Dark Spirit Star Territory, the Insect Territory, and the Bell Star Territory... "
"The plague ruins were originally supposed to be opened every two thousand years, and there is still at least a hundred years before the next opening... But I received news not long ago, and because of the influence of the fusion of the two universes, there were signs of its opening in advance... "
"Ji Xing, to tell you the truth, the plague ruins are very important to us. If our Lan family can obtain enough resources from them this time, it will directly affect our position in the battle for the Great Elder. Do you get me?"
Zhang Xiaoman nodded when he heard this, expressing his understanding.
To put it bluntly, the Lan family was caught off guard by the early opening of the plague ruins this time, so they continued to participate as a high-end combat force to help them seize enough resources in the ruins.
All forces will send people to open the plague ruins. If the Lan family does nothing, they will inevitably be far away in this power struggle, and the consequences will be incalculable.
However, what he originally promised was to help the Lan family once, not to accompany him throughout the operation of the ruins as Lan Gu said.
If this is really the case, then if he is competing with various forces in the ruins, the number of times he will take action will be far more than just one.
Lan Gu has perfected the art of writing. One battle and participation in the battle for ruins can be regarded as "one shot", but the difference between the two is thousands of miles.
"Ahem, Ji Xing, I know that the ruins may be a bit difficult for you, but this action is not completely beneficial to you. I can promise you that this time the plague ruins will be blue for us. We are willing to give you 10% of the resources we have obtained as your personal reward, what do you think?"
Lan Gu seemed a little embarrassed, knowing that his request was a bit too much, so he decisively opened his mouth and promised greater benefits.
"Clan leader...will this happen..."
Lan Yue on the side couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard what he said.
That's 10% of the entire Lan family's resource harvest. Isn't it a bit too much to allocate it directly to the other party?
After all, the Lan family is such a huge force, and the power invested in the ruins must be unimaginable. Moreover, there are other experts in the Lan family. If there is not enough in the Lan family, they directly give away 10% of the resources. What about the others? What would people think?
Lan Gu, however, waved his hand and gave the other party a look that said he had his own plans.
Lan Yue didn't say much when she saw this, and closed her mouth knowingly.
Indeed, if, as Lan Yue fears, one person is given 10% of the resources to Jiexing, this will definitely be a bit too much for the entire family. The Lan family also has other high-level control-level attackers. If If everyone gets 10%, will the Lan family develop? What's more, there are many middle-level control levels below the upper-level control level. These people participate in the competition to give benefits, and the resources obtained are basically It’s not enough for such a lavish distribution.
But this was just Lan Gu's previous thoughts. Since he saw the change in Ji Xing's strength after his breakthrough, and felt the opponent's aura at close range, Lan Gu can be sure that the current Ji Xing's strength should be Not much weaker than yourself.
Being able to reach the pinnacle of high-level control directly after a breakthrough, even if it takes a little more resources to win over such a genius, it is still worth it.
And the most important thing is that Ji Xing has only completed the imprint of the fourth star pattern. Before he has cultivated it, his aura has already reached such a terrifying level. If he waits for him to complete the cultivation, then his What kind of situation his strength will be improved to, this is something Lan Gu can't even imagine.
By then, I am afraid that no one in this star field will be his opponent without reaching the extraordinary level.
Thinking of this, Lan Gu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fortunately, he had a star pattern master like Lan Yue. Otherwise, how could powerful dark souls like these join his camp one after another.
Facing the rich reward given by Lan Gu, Zhang Xiaoman pondered for a while, and then immediately agreed on the spot and agreed to this action.
In fact, the reason why he took action this time was that in addition to the resources promised by the Lan family, he also had the intention of giving back.
After all, the Lan family played a very important role in the reason why he was able to rise to this level so quickly. Although the other party was suspected of cheating him on the matter of "one shot", he has never been someone who likes to owe money. A person who is favored by others, not to mention that he has absorbed a forbidden area from others, it just so happens that he can take this opportunity to return this favor, so that he will not owe each other anything in the future.
