The dazzling tree of light stands on the top of the mountains, swaying its light-cast branches, overflowing with brilliance, and scattered with substantial streams of light, like clusters of fireworks or soft catkins, following the coldness of the mountains.
The wind blows to the earth.
Under the guidance of the wind, the brilliance outlines a stream of brilliant colors under the sky. Using the sky as a canvas, it depicts colorful colors, forming a large piece of strange aurora that covers the sky and the earth. The sun and moon are eclipsed, and the stars are dim.
This is an extremely magnificent scene, but no one is in the mood to appreciate its beauty. On the land that has been directly flattened due to the overlap of the two realms, endless flesh and blood creations are fighting with the condensers who survived in the material world.
The remaining condensers are all members of the Gunshan family. In this extreme restricted area of life, except for these escapists, there is no one else.
In order to pursue the transcendence of mortal nature, the secret powers of the Gunshan family are all from the ascending body school. Under the high concentration of ether and extreme cold, the condensers took off their obstructive cold-proof coats. They were like shadows blown up by the wind.
, was torn into long pieces by the surging power.
The Sublime Ones called out to the ether, and the alchemical matrix spread all over their blood-congested and red torsos like flashing tattoos. A dull explosion sounded in their bodies, and the joints were locked one by one like locks, as if they were cast into shape.
The steel and muscles swelled, and the figure quickly rose a few centimeters, as if wearing flesh and blood armor.
The tall figure was like a forest of giants, causing the earth to crack with a single move, turning the roaring flesh and blood creations into fine powder.
Amidst the terrifying sounds of fighting, corpses were piled up layer after layer, and blood dripped on the ground. As soon as it froze into ice, it was covered with another layer of blood, layer after layer.
"The Sublime Ones and Prayerers retreat to cover the evacuation of others!"
In the wave of blood, a giant-like figure commanded while raising his hand and smashing the deformed heads of several flesh and blood creations, like smashing berries with a stick, causing blood to splash.
Judging from the strength of the ether, men are the only defenders on the battlefield, and naturally they have become the commanders of this battlefield.
He quickly waved his sword, and his arms turned into an unpredictable shadow. Everything he touched, whether it was flesh, flesh, rocks, or even gusts of wind, were scattered. With this terrifying physical power, the man and others
The two defenders together formed a dam to resist the tide of flesh and blood.
They are like a sieve, turning countless flesh and blood creations into sticky mud. Even if some flesh and blood creations are lucky enough to cross their defense line, they will be eliminated one by one by those in power behind them.
Although the Gunshan Family is mysterious and unpredictable, not all of its members are Ninghua ones. Just like the organizational structure of various extraordinary forces in the outside world, Ninghua people are always at the top of the pyramid regardless of their rank.
Therefore, the Gunshan Family also has a large number of ordinary people. Relying on these high-level condensers, they miraculously suppressed the invasion of the flesh and blood wave and bought a certain amount of time for the ordinary people in the rear to evacuate.
"move forward!"
The man shouted to the other defenders that he was not going to maintain the status quo. On the contrary, he was going to lead his team back into the Great Rift.
Last night, a sudden change came to the Apex Palace, and the man was outside the Apex Palace at that time. He only saw a dazzling light engulfing the Apex Palace, and then the light completely covered the ridge known as the mountains.
The towering mountain peaks have forcibly separated the world's highest peak from the material world.
When the man regained consciousness, he was already in the etheric realm with others. In the etheric realm, they encountered an extremely brutal battle.
The ultimate power of the Gunshan Family, the Glorious Ones are constantly fighting with a group of unknown and strange beings. The terrifying ether fluctuations easily set off power that can distort local areas.
The man saw with his own eyes that the materialized ether gathered like a storm, and they were restrained into deadly torrent forces, easily annihilating all matter along the way.
The battle lasted all night. The man and the other defenders fought their way out of the crimson wave that enveloped the mountain, protected the ordinary members, and evacuated from the ethereal world with difficulty.
"Levan!"
Someone called the man's name. He turned around and saw that it was a defender not far from him.
I saw him punching the ground hard, and the violent ether poured into the ground. After a second delay, the earth under his feet fell apart. The infinite ether roared upwards like a bursting spring, and all flesh and blood creations within the range were destroyed.
This deadly force shook him to pieces.
In an instant, a circular vacuum area suddenly appeared in the wave of flesh and blood, but it did not last long before it was filled again by the flesh and blood that grew back.
During the long and fierce battle, these abominable flesh and blood have already taken root under the frozen soil, like scarlet roundworms that are constantly proliferating, almost completely occupying this flat mountain section.
"Lewan!" the man shouted again, "You go first, we will solve it here!"
In the brutal fighting, the men have realized that the situation is not good. Although they are defenders, they are dragged in place by the wave of flesh and blood. Now, the low-level condensers have escorted ordinary people to evacuate this place.
Then their actions can be more risky.
"Can you do this!"
Lewan responded loudly, and slapped the flesh and blood creations in front of him with a powerful palm. The ether roared and the strong wind rolled.
In the terrifying shock, the flesh and blood creations within a few meters in front of Lewan were shattered into flesh, forming a cone-shaped vacuum zone. However, within a moment, the endless flesh and blood spread again, just like writing on the beach.
, no matter how deep your handwriting is, when the wave passes by, everything will return to its original state.
"Of course!" the man responded, "We can't kill them all, but they can't kill us either!"
He waved his fists tirelessly, and whether they were short flesh-and-blood creatures or flesh-and-blood giants several meters tall, he would kill them all in one blow with his heavy punches.
"You are the youngest and the most advanced among us."
The man was breathing heavily, even though he was also a defender. After fighting for nearly a day and night, the fatigue finally caught up with his mortal nature.
"So you are the most trustworthy."
Listening to the man's words, Lewan nodded to him from a distance. The place was full of roaring flesh and blood monsters, with scarlet hyphae dancing wildly. They seemed to be walking through a red rice field.
After reaching a consensus, Lewan took a deep breath, and heat rose from his red muscles. He was like a piece of hot iron soaked in water.
"Everyone get out of the way!"
With a loud shout, Lewan gave up his previous defensive posture, and like a wild bull, carrying the escaping heat, he ran over the flesh and blood creation in front of him.
Opening the way with fists and fists, leaving blood on the ground.
The pleasure of killing allowed Levan to vent a lot of the anger in his heart. If it wasn't to protect ordinary members, he would have wanted to do this long ago.
After he broke away from the defense line, the remaining two defenders took on Levante's previous pressure, and the power bearer at the rear also took a few steps forward to continue to maintain the defense line.
They looked ahead, trying to find Lewand's figure, but all they could see was a mass of blood mist that kept moving forward. That was a steady stream of exploding corpses.
Lewan's eyes turned red. The terrifying flesh-and-blood monsters in his field of vision were just straws. He pushed them away casually and strode towards the big crack.
The dazzling light fills the entire field of vision. It is like a wound in the world. The creeping and ferocious scarlet wave is the blood that overflows from it. The high-concentration ether scattered all over the world is its soul.
In fact, Lewan knew it.
When that strange and boundless world descended, and when the tar rained down like a torrential rain, Lewan knew what was happening before his eyes.
Due to the high-concentration ether environment in the Ridge of Mountains, the Gunshan family recognized the existence of the etheric realm long before the Bureau of Order. At the same time, scholars also proposed the possibility that once the two realms overlap, the Ridge of the Mountains will
It was the first existence to be swallowed up.
Everything that happens now is within the expectations of the Gunshan family, but the difference is that according to the calculations of scholars, there will still be a long period of time before the ridge of the mountains is swallowed up.
This is not a natural phenomenon, but a premeditated plan.
Those evil and abominable tars—devils!
Lewan shook open the obstructing flesh and blood, and the radiant crack was very close at hand. After the battle, he recalled a lot. The Glorious Ones in the etheric realm were fighting with the devil, the disintegrated apex palace, and the devils weaving a
The evil conspiracy.
At first, Lewan didn't understand why the devils came here. It was clear that the Qunshan family had nothing to do with the world, but suddenly, he recalled the legends told by the elders in the family.
Legend has it that the concentration of ether in the ridge of the mountains is not a coincidence, but that there is something sealed in this mountain peak. It is the unknown thing that invisibly guides the endless ether, and it is also like a letter.
Like a sign, it guides the approach of the etheric realm.
For thousands of years, the tribesmen have regarded this as an ancient legend that deified the ridge of the mountains. It was not until a hundred years ago that scholars indeed found something in the ice inside this mountain peak.
They are blocks of ice filled with ether. They will not leave any trace when cut with a knife, and will not melt at all when burned. Even if they are bombarded with terrifying secret energy, they still cannot shake them at all.
Scholars have conducted a series of studies on the ice inside the mountain. Lewand does not know the specific details. He is a warrior, not a scholar, but with his identity as a defender, he still learned a lot from it.
secret.
"It can lead us to become greater beings."
Many years ago, a being in the Gunshan family who could be called a sage touched the ice and spoke like this with an enchanted expression.
Every extraordinary family has its own family culture. The Clerks family is a vast expanse of wind, seeking freedom and tranquility. The Bolton family to which Church belongs wanders in the narrow confines of cognition and observes the world.
change.
So for the Gunshan family, tempering themselves, getting rid of the shackles of flesh and blood, and becoming a more transcendent and noble existence is their pursuit written into their souls.
Lewan didn't know where this paranoid pursuit came from, but what was known was that the Gunshan family began to rigorously eliminate children from birth. Even the occult school of research was stubbornly focused on promotion.
Body school.
Therefore, when the sage predicted the power of the frozen thing, the Gunshan family conducted almost crazy research on it. Sometimes, Levandu felt that there was an inexplicable sense of greed quietly growing in the family.
In order to avoid leaking the existence of the frozen thing and attracting unnecessary prying eyes, the Gunshan family still maintains extreme xenophobia in today's world and refuses any unnecessary contact, even invitations from the Bureau of Order.
Like a omen in the dark, Lewan felt that what caused all this today was the legendary frozen thing, and it itself was not so much a gift from God to the Gunshan family.
A vicious curse that was cast down hundreds of years ago.
Lewan punched forward, smashing the hateful flesh and blood that had just emerged from the gap into powder. Without any pause or fear, Lewan stepped into the light without looking back.
After the bright light that was enough to blind his eyes, Lewan first felt the extremely abundant ether wrapping around his body, and then the stripped senses were reset one by one. When his vision recovered and he looked at the scene in the ether realm again, he was extremely crazy.
A scene appeared in his eyes.
A mountain peak stood abruptly in the vast ice field of the etheric realm. Under its fractured mountain, clusters of scarlet hyphae spread wantonly, as if the entire mountain was a huge living thing, and the cross section was the ferocious wound.
These hyphae are like living creatures, twisting and squirming, climbing up the mountain, sometimes squirming slowly like earthworms, sometimes gliding quickly like snakes, they rub against each other and make small sounds, like deep groans or
Whispers, gathered together into a high-pitched elegy.
Lewan looked at this scene in disbelief. When he left the Aether Realm, the situation was not so bad, but now, the holy land in the eyes of the Gunshan family is being swallowed up by scarlet bit by bit.
Under the glow of the light, the mycelium showed a moist texture, which reminded Lewan of the fresh blood pouring out of his body.
Below the mountain, on the vast ice field, the same scarlet wave was greedily spreading to the surrounding area. When waves of sharp stinging pains came from Levant, he recovered from the shock.
After crossing the great rift, his location had already been covered in scarlet. Wherever he could see, there were all the wriggling flesh and blood, which extended from the mountain, crossed the cold ice field, and continuously penetrated into the great rift, and then
Invading the material world.
"Get away!"
The defender's power surged, and Lewan tore apart pieces of flesh.
This time the killing was not as smooth as before. The abundant energy environment in the ethereal world not only increased the amount by tens of thousands, but also caused the endless flesh and blood to gain an increase of the same level.
The hyphae were sticky on Lewan's body, exuding a disgusting stench. As time went by, the scarlet hyphae squirmed more and more violently, as if they had been summoned by some kind and began to go crazy.
The ground twisted, entangled, intertwined, and spiraled, forming masses of red clouds, trying to wrap Lewan into a cocoon.
Relying on the high-pitched ether in his body, Lewan once again shocked the hyphae around him, and they withered all over the ground like broken red cloth.
"Ha ha……"
Lewan gasped in pain, the fatigue in his body became heavier, and the ends of his limbs became numb and lost consciousness.
Metal is tired, let alone flesh and blood.
Breaking free from the restraints, Lewan crushed the ground and jumped into the air. With the outstanding secret power of the Ascension School, Lewan covered a distance of dozens of meters, which also temporarily freed him from the siege of flesh and blood.
Having lost the goal of Lewan, this group of twisted weirdos were not angry. On the contrary, they rushed to the great rift and spread into the material world.
After several jumps, Lewan landed heavily on the edge of the scarlet wave. There was not much terrifying flesh and blood here, giving him some breathing space.
Levan calmed down and looked at the place where he had just escaped. The scarlet waves converged into an ocean, covering almost the entire area. Against the backdrop of this scarlet hyphae, the distant mountain peaks looked even more desolate and strange, as if they had been captured.
Swallowed by a huge flesh and blood monster, bit by bit it was swallowed into its mouth.
In the distance, Lewan caught a glimpse of the endless radiance of the secret source. The light extended infinitely in all directions, reflecting the boundless world with its beauty and mystery.
"It's so beautiful..."
Lewan couldn't help but sigh.
The Gunshan family has done a lot of research on the etheric world, but today is the first time that Lewan has personally stepped into the etheric world. This place is so beautiful, but also full of so many abominable things, as if the boundaries between heaven and hell are blurred.
, the two worlds merge together, just like the material world and the etheric world.
Waves of frightening ether fluctuations came from the broken mountain peaks. Lewan knew that it was the glorious ones of the Gunshan family who were still fighting. Lewan had lost contact with them for some time, and he didn’t know the specific details.
How is the battle going?
Looking past the bloodshot threads all over the mountain, Levan's eyes narrowed. He saw the familiar Apex Palace and its appearance on the verge of destruction.
The raging fire continued to erode every inch of wood and stone, and the blazing temperature seemed to scorch everything. The smell of burning filled the air, making people almost suffocated.
The surrounding snow evaporated, the ice melted, and the Apex Palace was completely burned through. All the flashy decorations were gone, leaving only the skeleton of the building that looked even larger and more ferocious in the firelight, as if it were a dead giant struggling in the fire.
, flames and thick smoke intertwined, constantly emerging from the gaps in the palace, like countless burning ghosts, trying to escape from the prison here.
Lewan's mind went blank. No matter how much he complained about the Gunshan family, this was at least the place where he grew up. But now, this place that had hosted almost his entire life was being turned into ruins in the fire.
No, not even the ruins will be left in the end.
The Gunshan Family has indeed obtained a lot of crucial knowledge from a series of studies, one of which is about the "swallowing" of the etheric world.
Except for the eternal ice sheet beneath our feet, everything that exists in the etheric realm will be eroded, digested, and annihilated into vast snow dust by the power of the etheric realm bit by bit if it does not have the critical protection of the moment soul.
In other words, except for the condensers, nothing can survive here forever. No matter how huge the mountains or buildings are, they will gradually be annihilated under the digestion of the ether, and even the condensers will not survive.
There will be a day of death, and only the power directly born from the etheric realm can exist for a long time.
Also based on this knowledge, many questions and guesses have been answered.
For example, scholars have wondered why, if the etheric realm has swallowed up several material realms, no remnants of those material realms can be found in the etheric realm.
Now people know that those remains of the material world did exist, but today, they have long been digested.
This is true even for the starting scroll. When the Eighth Man was describing the origin of the devils, he might have injected his own power into it, allowing it to have certain extraordinary characteristics. But even so, when King Solomon Xi
When you found this stone slab from the etheric realm, it had already been corroded beyond recognition.
The mountain peaks in front of Lewan will also be annihilated. This may take years or decades, but it is destined, just like snow melting under the blazing sun.
An inexplicable sadness surged into Lewan's heart. He wanted to do something, block the spread of the Scarlet Sea, or climb the mountain and participate in the battle, but it seemed that he could not do any of the options. The defenders were indeed very powerful.
, but in this etheric realm, it is just an admission ticket.
Suddenly, a blazing white flash lit up from a distant direction.
Lewan captured this vision. He looked at the location where the light flashed. Almost at the same time he looked there, a stream of fire that was tens of kilometers long and penetrated the snow dust and ice fields came instantly.
It was a scorching light that seemed to be condensed from a thousand suns. After crossing the Scarlet Sea, it moved slowly like a razor, picking out the carrion all over the earth and setting off a continuous sea of fire.
Lewan was somewhat unable to understand this situation, until at the end of the beam, he noticed the etheric reaction of a Glorious One, which suddenly appeared.
The opponent did not cross over from the Great Rift, nor was it located on the ridge of the mountains when the Great Rift opened.
This etheric reaction came from the depths of the etheric world, as if someone had traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived here.
At the end of the light, Boluogo grasped the piercing fire sword, his face was gloomy, and the roaring white storm stood behind him.
