Chapter 68 Li Lan Enters the Game
Three days have passed.
"Oh no! The demon army is here!"
Why is it all dark over there?
"I heard that even immortals couldn't stop it!"
Panic gripped the capital!
During this time, residents along the demon army's route flocked to the capital, seeking the protection of the immortals, bringing with them a great deal of news.
Now, the black sky is gradually encroaching on the fields of Kyoto, and the powerful sense of oppression makes it hard for everyone to breathe.
"Roar!"
A tremendous roar came from outside the city and echoed throughout the capital!
On the city tower, Elder Gu, Feng Moping, Shen Xingyue, Li Daoling and other people from the Immortal Realm, as well as Li Yue, Lin Ruoxue, Lin Ruobing, Kujue, the Sun and Moon Twin Swords and others were all present.
Today is the day we face the enemy.
A thousand meters outside Kyoto Castle, a black fog had already enveloped the area. Although it was noon, the sky was extremely dark, and a chill emanated from outside the city.
With a roar, huge corpse beasts suddenly appeared from the black mist!
The giant elephant was as tall as a mountain, with two tusks like spears. Its skin had rotted away, leaving only its white bones!
The terrifying, enormous tiger had four fleshy, membrane-like wings growing from its body, and its pupils were filled with black mist, as if it were about to devour someone.
There were even ants the size of calves, their bodies covered in armor, their imposing presence quite astonishing.
……
"The Primordial Dragon Elephant, the Sky-Winged Flying Tiger, the Heavenly Power Ant... are all powerful creatures from ancient times."
On the city wall, a master from the celestial realm sighed.
“Previously, even when the Demon Realm caused chaos, at most only one or two beings of this level appeared. This time, however, so many have appeared?”
"Could it be that the ancient saints... no, the demons are about to return?"
"They are long dead, they are no longer themselves!"
Even the most powerful beings in the celestial realm were terrified.
Unprecedented pressure is coming.
"If we cannot keep them out of the Abyss Realm and allow them to enter the Immortal Realm, then it will be a true disaster!"
Elder Gu spoke solemnly, "At that time, even if powerful beings come, they will have to pay a bloody price when facing these ancient creatures!"
Everyone nodded.
The Abyss is the final battlefield.
Countless powerful figures in the past set up the Abyss Realm as a seal. Within this realm, the strength of ancient behemoths and extraordinary masters is limited. Once they break through, the power displayed by these terrifying creatures will be more than a hundred times greater.
……
The people from the Abyss Realm standing nearby were even more shocked.
This scene was truly beyond their comprehension.
These creatures should have been dead for many years, so what kind of power has made them rise again and form an army?
……
Following the numerous colossal beasts emerged a line of undead knights from the black mist, riding skeletal warhorses, some carrying ancient, tattered banners.
"The battle flag of Xiao Tianjue, the Sub-Lord!"
"Han Dao's subordinates, the Saint of War..."
"The Tai'a Holy Land... once a colossal power that shook the world..."
Even the many experts in the immortal realm couldn't help but be slightly moved at this moment. These undead knights... all had impressive backgrounds. The figures they represented were renowned figures throughout history.
"They were all once supreme warriors, who went to war to protect the Immortal Realm, facing countless dangers and none of them returned alive. And now, they've become like this..."
Feng Moping gripped the long sword tightly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes, as if she were recalling many, many things!
"Could it be that they... are all going to return?"
Li Daoling's face was extremely ugly. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Li Qinghong was called a great hero back then.
At this moment, just feeling the aura emanating from the other side made him feel suffocated.
too strong!
But back then, Li Qinghong faced such an existence, who forcibly sacrificed himself without using the method of burning the world as a sacrifice, thus bringing hundreds of years of peace to the immortal realm.
But today... even if there were another Li Qinghong, it wouldn't be of any use.
According to records, only one or two people awakened back then, but now there are too many!
"Sacrifice to the world is the only way!"
Elder Gu spoke in a deep voice.
But there was really little confidence in his words—everyone was inexplicably worried at the moment: could the burning of the world really seal the demon realm?
Where is the Supreme Immortal Venerable?
Suddenly, among the many reports, a knight wearing rusty armor spoke up.
He could actually speak; he wasn't completely inanimate!
This surprised everyone in the immortal realm.
Moreover, the person the other party asked about made everyone's hearts heavy: the Supreme Immortal Venerable... a name that cannot be spoken lightly throughout the entire Immortal Realm!
He is the current Holy Emperor of the Celestial Realm, supreme and unparalleled!
"How shall I address you?"
Instead of answering, Elder Gu raised his voice and asked a question.
Where is the Supreme Immortal Venerable?
But the knight simply repeated the same thing once again.
"You were all heroes of the celestial realm, but now you are separated by life and death, by the divide between Yin and Yang. Why cling to the idea of returning? Let dust return to dust, ashes to ashes!"
Elder Gu spoke in a deep voice, saying that since the other party could communicate, they might as well try to persuade them.
"The Supreme Immortal Venerable has betrayed the alliance... He deserves to be executed!"
The knight seemed not to have heard Elder Gu's words, and said woodenly, "The Mingzun has returned, the Supreme Dao... shall perish!"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the many immortals on the city wall changed drastically.
"How dare you slander the Holy Emperor!"
"The Holy Emperor is supreme above the Nine Heavens, opening the path to immortality for all living beings. His merits cover the heavens and earth; how can they be defiled!"
Many people hurriedly spoke up to rebuke!
However, Feng Moping and the others all looked extremely solemn, exchanging glances with expressions of horror and fear.
Because the Undead Knight also mentioned another name…
Mingzun.
These two words are already an unknown taboo in the immortal realm, known only to a very few people.
Back then, they stood side by side with the Supreme Immortal Venerable, like two suns in the sky, shining brightly across the world. They were the two top Immortal Venerables in the Immortal Realm.
In ancient times, an unimaginable calamity occurred. The Bright Lord led the saints to quell the chaos, but never returned!
In all the records, the Venerable One and all the saints were destroyed by an unknowable and immense power, fell from grace and died. Their obsessions did not dissipate and transformed into the demon realm.
However, what this undead knight is saying now... may very well involve some great secrets from countless ages ago.
Could it be that the demise of the Mingzun and the saints is related to the former Supreme Immortal Venerable, now the Holy Emperor of the Immortal Realm?
"Having fallen into the path of demons, everything else is nothing but a false, twisted remnant of delusion!"
Elder Gu shouted, "Leave now, or we will suppress the demon!"
They came from powerful forces in the Immortal Realm and were all high-ranking figures. They were well aware that matters involving the Holy Emperor's name were matters of great importance and should not be taken lightly.
The Mingzun has perished, and the Supreme Dao Immortal has become Emperor; this is the inevitable trend!
Therefore, regardless of whether what the other party said is true or false, they don't need to dwell on it; just destroy the demon!
"The ultimate truth... will perish."
The undead knight standing before the black mist continued to repeat his words. As soon as he finished speaking, a black hurricane suddenly swept out from the black mist!
"Waaah--"
The horns of white bones sounded, the tattered banners fluttered, and many ancient behemoths rushed toward the capital!
"Quickly, activate the formation!"
Elder Gu roared, extremely anxious!
Immediately, Feng Moping, Shen Xingyue, and the others flew out and stood at various gates of the capital, activating the array flags buried in the city.
Boom!
The palm-sized flags suddenly rose from the ground, like giant trees, guarding the entire capital. A vast light emanated from them, and then all rushed towards the main gate and city wall.
"The true dragon has returned to its rightful place, and the stars surround it!"
Elder Gu then shouted loudly.
Li Yue took the lead and stood among the crowd. She sat down cross-legged, and the Imperial Seal of the State shone faintly in front of her.
Kujue, the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, Lin Ruoxue, Lin Ruobing, and others all sat down around her.
"Brother Li Lan, quick, stand beside us, we'll protect you!"
Li Xue'er suddenly pulled Li Lan over and stepped into the formation.
“Li Lan…”
Seeing this, Li Daoling subconsciously wanted to stop him, but as soon as he raised his hand, he hesitated for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
"Draw upon the power of the Celestial Realm!"
Elder Gu's eyes gleamed, and his Daoist aura erupted. He burned his own blood essence to unleash a stone token. The stone token was like a sharp sword, a white rainbow piercing the sun, soaring straight into the sky. Above the sky, it attracted ten thousand thunderbolts, tearing the void apart!
A yellow light shone brightly around the stone, and faintly, yellow smoke drifted out, reflecting the phantom of another world!
It seemed to be an ancient hall, in which stood figures transcending the mundane world. An inexplicable power emanated from them, shining down and penetrating the great formation through the stone token.
At that very moment, Kujue, the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, and the others all experienced a sudden jolt as terrifying power entered their bodies, leaving each of them utterly shocked.
In that instant, it was as if countless rays of the Great Dao were surrounding them, and everyone seemed to have received a sacred baptism. Their spirit and body became incomparably pure, as perfect as crystal.
"quick!"
Li Huan suddenly roared, and just as the beam of light from the immortal realm was about to hit them, he pushed Li Lan forward and pulled his sister backward.
"Li Lan!"
Li Daoling ignored it, but Feng Moping from the Sword Sect was surprised and wanted to make a move, but the beam of light had already arrived and she was powerless to do anything about it!
"Ha ha……"
Li Huan was about to burst into laughter, having narrowly escaped death with his sister, when suddenly, Li Lan abruptly stepped back, grabbed his hand, and pulled him into the formation as well!
"Do not……"
Li Huan's laughter stopped abruptly, and fear appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly tried to break free, but he found that he was actually unable to resist Li Lan's strength, which seemed to be even greater than his own!
"elder brother!"
Li Xue'er hurriedly shouted, but she subconsciously stepped back, afraid that Li Lan would also pull her in.
……
In the blink of an eye, everyone had entered the formation, and the formation was complete!
……
