There is thick black mist lingering in the sky, and the black mist is floating erratically. If you keep looking straight at it, even the strongest people in the mountains and seas will quickly fall into dizziness.
Below the black mist is the vast land belonging to the restricted area, which is red in color. Traces of living creatures can be seen everywhere, but the huge footprints and claw marks show that they do not belong to humans.
I don’t know when the weather in the restricted area has stopped being chaotic. Without the violent rain, snow and powerful hurricanes, the line of sight has become wider. However, if you walk inside, you will find that the atmosphere in the restricted area is even more dead, as if there will be a bigger storm at any time. danger comes.
The line of sight continues to extend forward, and after dozens of kilometers, an endless majestic city wall is clearly visible.
Below the city wall, camps lined with flags were lined up one after another. Above the city wall, there were also posts at five steps and one sentry at ten steps. From a very far away, one could feel the intense and indescribable aura of murder.
The black fog spreading in the sky stopped abruptly outside the city wall, as if blocked by something invisible. Above the city wall, some vague figures could be vaguely seen standing quietly in the clouds. They did not cover their faces. The aura, the powerful aura exuding, gives the people living in the city below the greatest sense of security.
On the outside of the city wall, two vigorous characters are written on the main gate: "Beidu".
Even though two hundred years have passed, these two big characters written by the King of Jiangling are still shining with misty brilliance, as if telling that the figure that has traveled through the world has never left.
If you look down from the sky above Beidu, you will find that life in the city seems to have not changed much. The streets are still bustling and orderly, residents are rushing to work and having parties, KTV is still noisy, and the vegetable market is still busy.
Only when you move to the city wall can you see a hint of fatigue on the faces of the warriors standing guard.
Suddenly, there were footsteps from the other side of the city wall, and a group of people appeared at the top of the city. When they saw the middle-aged man in military uniform who was leading the way, the postures of all the warriors became more solemn.
"I've met Marquis Wu Ding!"
The guard at the top of the city rushed over and bowed down.
Wu Dinghou's attention was obviously not on him. He just waved his hand and turned to another middle-aged man with a jade-like face who was one step behind him and said: "On behalf of all military warriors, I would like to thank the Southwest Medical Association for their donation. I am also grateful to Mr. Ding for taking the lead... With this batch of potions worth nearly 100 billion, I don’t know how many warriors’ lives can be saved.”
"Wu Dinghou is so impressed. This is a crisis for the entire ethnic group. So what if a few potions are worth trillions?"
Ding Anbai sighed and said, "It's a pity that Ding can't say it with one word and can't convince everyone in the association. Otherwise, all the inventory should be emptied at once... But please don't worry, Marquis Wu Ding, these potions are only the first batch of potions." One batch, there will definitely be more to follow!”
"Thank you!" Wu Dinghou briefly thanked him again, which made Ding Anbai a little flattered.
What kind of status is the prince? If it weren't for the urgent shortage of the medicine donated by Ding Anbai, Wu Dinghou would not even have the first polite words. At this moment, thanking him again, the weight of his words would naturally be different.
However, Ding Anbai was not a fool, and he quickly understood that Wu Dinghou's attitude towards him was very different, and it was not just because of the batch of potions.
Not only is everyone aware of the affair between his daughter and Shen Qian, but everyone is aware of it at a certain level. It is obvious that Marquis Wu Ding looked at the Buddha rather than the monk.
Ignoring the angry looks on the side, Ding Anbai would not mention anything else at this time, but said cautiously: "I would also like to thank Marquis Wu Ding for inviting me to inspect the city defense together. This is an honor."
Wu Dinghou nodded and walked forward for a while before speaking calmly: "I know that at this moment, warriors of a certain level in the city are panic-stricken. I ask you to be my representatives and patrol the city defense with me. In fact, there is another purpose. I want to borrow from you." mouth to convey the true situation of the city’s defense.”
"Please rest assured, Marquis Wu Ding, we will see that the morale of the army is at its peak, and the northern capital will be unbreakable!"
Ding Anbai immediately expressed his stance upon hearing this, and the businessmen from the Medical Association who followed him also quickly agreed.
Unexpectedly, Wu Dinghou suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ding Anbai and others, "You are wrong."
"Huh?" Ding Anbai and others were stunned, and they were all a little confused.
"The Northern Capital is not impenetrable. In fact, according to the current situation, if there is no improvement, the city may be broken within three days."
Wu Dinghou said quietly.
"What?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Ding Anbai also showed an expression of disbelief.
He is better informed than the others present. Although the human race is currently retreating steadily under the offensive of the allied forces of all races, and many people have been destroyed, at least China has stabilized.
Most of the human race has retreated behind the Northern Capital. As the last symbol of the human race's defense line, the Northern Capital alone has more than thirty princes gathered here.
Under the deterrence of such a force, at least the residents in Beidu City could not feel the flames of war at all.
In fact, the strong men of all races rarely appear near Beidu, and there should be a distant stalemate at the moment.
But Wu Dinghou would definitely not speak out loud, and everyone became nervous for a while.
"According to reports from various places, the coalition forces of all races have made no movement after advancing to the Yangtze River Basin. Except for some sporadic battles that often break out in the restricted area, it has been nearly ten days. Not a single city in China has been captured, and even There isn’t even a C-level town…”
Wu Dinghou said calmly, "Is this a good thing? Of course not!"
"Because this means that those top experts who were originally active in other directions have disappeared... The question is, where did they go?"
"Wu Dinghou means..."
Ding Anbai's face changed, and he had already thought of something.
"Actually, this is not the best time and place for a decisive battle. It's a pity...it's not something I, the human race, can decide."
Wu Dinghou suddenly turned around and looked at the sky outside Beidu.
Everyone followed his gaze, but saw nothing. Just when they were confused, Wu Dinghou suddenly focused his eyes and punched out fiercely.
I saw the star-like fist force spurting out, and in the blink of an eye it spread to tens of kilometers away, and in the originally empty void, a figure suddenly appeared and took the punch forcefully.
The tall figure with wings on its back, which clearly did not look like a human being, was knocked back in embarrassment, but instead burst out laughing.
The language he spoke was extremely strange, but when it was fed back, everyone could understand it instantly.
"Awudin Delemu of the Heavenly Clan has learned the lesson, but... is this the strongest prince of the human race today? It seems that he still misses the point!"
Following the laughter, like a chain reaction, strange-looking figures appeared one after another in the sky. Some of them were wrapped in red robes and could not see their appearance, and some were four or five feet tall and skinny. It's a dull blue color, and there's also a woman with a naked upper body and a scorpion-tailed lower body...
There are various appearances, but the only thing that is the same is the soaring aura on them.
With the appearance of these people, the clouds around the entire Beidu were turbulent, and there were many shadowy figures among them, not to mention how many powerful people were hiding.
Ding Anbai and others were dumbfounded, and the warriors on the city wall were also a little commotion. However, they were still able to maintain their formation firmly under the long-term prohibition.
If it hadn't been for Wu Dinghou's punch, they would have never known that the seemingly peaceful Beidu had already been surrounded by countless top powerhouses.
"Wu Dinghou..." Ding Anbai looked at Wu Dinghou's back blankly.
"This is the current real situation in the northern capital. Some princes feel that the powerful people in the city should be concealed, because even if everyone is informed, it will not help and will only cause turmoil in people's hearts."
Wu Dinghou did not turn around, but said in a deep voice, "I don't think so. The more times like this, the more important it is for everyone to understand what kind of crisis we are facing. There are countless strong people in Beidu City. If we can't unite as one, then only one person will be able to win." I’m afraid I won’t even have the last glimmer of hope!”
At this time, Ding Anbai took a deep breath and calmed down first.
He recalled Wu Dinghou's words, thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask Wu Dinghou, how do you predict that the powerful men of ten thousand races will attack Beidu within three days?"
"Because the vibrations from the center of the earth have become more and more obvious... This means that the existence they are waiting for is about to break free."
Wu Dinghou said softly, regardless of the blank faces of others, and just said to himself, "The number of foreign powerful men above the prince level who are besieging Beidu is close to a hundred, and this number is still increasing as time goes by."
"Currently, due to the existence of Jiuding, they are unable to attack by force, but once the formation in the center of the earth is broken, even the Jiuding that has been blessed by the Nine Kings will not be able to protect Beidu."
Ding Anbai's forehead was dripping with sweat. Although he could not fully understand what Wu Dinghou said, he could at least understand that the human race's chances of winning this battle were very low, so low that even Wu Dinghou, who was always known for his toughness, had no confidence.
"Is there really no hope?"
Ding Anbai thought for a moment, temporarily cut off the sight of others, and carefully asked Wu Dinghou.
Wu Dinghou opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly shook his head and said nothing.
At this moment, the silent girl who had been following Ding Anbai finally couldn't help but ask, "What about Shen Qian? Where is he?"
Ding Anbai had no time to stop him and had to look at Wu Dinghou with an apologetic look, but in fact he was also extremely curious inside.
The princes of the War at the Center of the Earth blocked the news. Counting the previous time, Shen Qian actually disappeared from the public eye after entering the "Sea of Learning".
Even from Ding Yi's perspective, Shen Qian has been out of contact for more than a month.
Wu Dinghou glanced at Ding Yi and saw the girl looking at him without flinching. He thought for a while and said: "Shen Qian... is in seclusion to recuperate. I am not sure when he will be released from seclusion, but even if Shen Qian... After leaving seclusion, I will not let him come to Beidu."
The girl frowned when she heard this and subconsciously wanted to say something, but she quickly realized another meaning of Marquis Wu Ding.
Yes, even if Shen Qian is released from seclusion, what use will it be?
Those are hundreds of princes...
If you add the existence of the one in the dark who may have surpassed the prince, perhaps staying far away from Beidu will give you a glimmer of hope.
Ding Yi suddenly realized that this might be the "hope" Wu Dinghou said.
Only by living, everything is possible.
"But, I haven't said goodbye to him yet..."
The girl's sigh lingered in her heart.
…
The top floor of the Vientiane Tower, within the purgatory of time and space.
The three-color overlapping flames were burning blazingly. Above, the Shennong Cauldron, enlarged to several feet, was spinning quietly, and a vague humanoid thing was floating in it.
The human-shaped thing flickered on and off, and it seemed as if there was no life in it.
Suddenly, a ray of bright silver grew out of the human-shaped thing like a flickering candlelight. Then, the silver grew stronger and stronger, and soon turned into a mighty river, flowing all over the human-shaped thing in the blink of an eye. The whole body of things.
The flames below began to extinguish, and the humanoid things began to slowly solidify. His flesh, blood and internal organs grew back, followed closely by facial features and hair.
Soon, a handsome young man reappeared in the cauldron.
boom!
The young man suddenly opened his eyes, and the divine light bursting out of his eyes directly penetrated the space in front of him.
After leaning a little, all the strangeness gradually calmed down. The young man carefully felt the energy flowing in his body, showing a look of satisfaction and sadness.
"Finally complete...the peak of the Eight Forbidden Elements!"
Three full years have passed since Shen Qian exercised his Yuan Power for the first time in this space of time purgatory.
Converted to outside time, it was actually only five or six days, but to Shen Qian, it was actually a thousand days and nights.
During this period, he alternately polished his physical, spiritual and spiritual strength, striving to reach his current limit.
The first thing to reach the peak of the Eight Forbiddens was mental power, which was also the area in which Shen Qian was most talented. Then, he was struck by lightning and burned day and night.
It took Shen the previous year for his body to reach the peak of the Eight Forbiddens, and it also consumed all the Yin power from the Eighth Senior Sister.
The real trouble was still the Yuan Power... Under the inhuman torture, Shen Qian suffered for another two years, and finally tempered the new Yuan Power to the extreme.
At this moment, Shen Qian has truly achieved the perfection of the three realms and the eight forbidden realms. He is the second person in history known to have reached such a state after King Jiangling.
As long as Shen Qian is willing, once he breaks through the princes, he will instantly have combat power comparable to that of the Great Emperor!
Even now, with his body of mountains and seas, Shen Qian is definitely not inferior to any Da Luo Jinxian, and even surpasses him in every detail.
Unfortunately... this is still not enough.
But Shen Qian still doesn't have a good idea on how to break through the final nine prohibitions.
But there was no point in continuing to retreat here... He had a vague feeling that breaking through the Nine Forbidden Times would require a very special opportunity.
"It's been almost a week outside, and I don't know what the situation is like, but since Uncle Luo Shen didn't bother me, it shouldn't be considered critical?"
Shen Qian took a deep breath, thought of the situation outside, and said to himself.
