The Holy Imperial City is still the same Holy Imperial City, but the situation is completely different from the last time.
Wu Jie looked around, frowning.
It was obvious from the situation in front of him that there must be something wrong in the Holy Imperial City - he couldn't be sure what was going on, but the sense of chaos in time was obvious.
The last time I came to the Holy Imperial City, according to the time, it should be the time to mend the sky, but the buildings in the city were damaged and weathered as if countless years had passed; this time when I came to the Holy Imperial City, I might have returned to the modern era.
, but everything in the city seems to be the same as during the Battle of Mending Sky...
Even a fool wouldn't believe it if there's nothing weird here.
At this moment, Jasmine suddenly said with some worry: "Master, try to get a corpse over here, one will be easier to remember, just one will be fine."
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why she emphasized this point, but he still nodded. His true energy turned into an invisible hand, grabbed the nearest corpse out of thin air, and flew towards it.
But before the corpse could get closer, Jasmine shouted: "Stop, stop, don't get so close."
"Jasmine, what are you doing?" Wu Jie stopped the body not far away and asked in confusion.
Jasmine's face was heavy and her expression was a little uneasy: "Master, take a closer look at the corpse, open its eyelids and look at its eyeballs."
"...What's so interesting about the corpse's eyes?"
"It doesn't matter if you look at it," Jasmine said in a coquettish way, but reminded her, "You must be careful and alert."
Wu Jie sighed, cast a spell to capture the corpse, and the invisible hand turned into true energy opened one of its eyes.
But the moment he opened his eyes, a powerful aura suddenly rose from the corpse. For a moment, Wu Jie felt that he was not a corpse in front of him, but a peak-level Yuan who was infinitely close to the realm of returning Dan.
The corpse suddenly raised its hands, and its ten fingers shot out like sharp arrows, aiming directly at Wu Jie's face.
Wu Jie had already prepared, and the real fire overlapped and turned into more than ten shields to block the sneak attack, but his eyes still stayed on the face of the corpse, staring into its eyes.
There were no eyeballs inside the opened eyelids, only a strange red color.
"It is indeed a phantom demon," Jasmine exclaimed, "hurry up to the tower that can resist the phantom demon."
Wu Jie immediately grabbed it and was startled. Not knowing what to do with the clay, he ran away.
Over the years, there haven't been many things that can make Jasmine nervous. In the situation like this, that weird corpse called the "Phantom Demon"... can actually make Jasmine so nervous. That's amazing.
As soon as he ran away, all the corpses around him turned over and stood up, making creaking sounds and opening their eyes one after another.
Pairs of demonic red blood eyes exuded a frightening and unsettling aura. And the aura rising from these corpses was astonishingly comparable to that of a peak Ning Yuan powerhouse.
Wu Jie's scalp suddenly went numb... Just within the range where his spiritual thoughts swept, there were at least hundreds of corpses, and there was no telling how many corpses there were in the entire Holy Imperial City... If every corpse was...
This so-called "phantom demon", isn't there tens of thousands of peak Ning Yuan peaks?
God
When he thought of this number, even if he was as strong and brave as him, he had the idea of taking the clay and hiding in the world of the Book of Heaven, and would not come out until he could obtain the golden elixir.
"Master, don't worry. Since these guys have been silent, it means there is something nearby that can restrain them. If not, they would have driven away with these corpses, free and easy.
"What on earth is this phantom?" Wu Jie asked as he ran.
"If countless extraterrestrial demons are imprisoned together to fight and devour each other, there will only be three results in the end: first, all the extraterrestrial demons will be devoured until only one is left, and that one will become the devil; second, comparatively
If the extraterrestrial demons who abide by the rules and know how to cooperate win, they will turn into trolls with steel and iron bones; the third type, the more chaotic and crazy extraterrestrial demons will win, and they will turn into invisible phantoms."
"Leave aside demons and trolls for the time being, phantoms are a very special kind of demon. They have no entity and must be attached to a corpse to fight. But as long as they find a corpse to attach to, they can immediately maximize the power of the corpse -
-Based on the situation in your Kyushu Realm, their strength is equivalent to the peak of Ningyuan
"Fortunately...it's not Zhenren Huandan..."
"But Master, your peak Ning Yuan in the Kyushu Realm, purely in terms of combat effectiveness, is actually no worse than Huan Dan Zhenren in a short period of time, right? Huan Dan is just an improvement in realm, and the improvement in strength is not that obvious.
"...Jasmine, if there is any bad news, please tell me." Wu Jie was silent for a moment and sighed, "Let's tell it now. I'm mentally prepared."
Jasmine suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "I can't tell for the time being... But logically speaking, no matter what, it won't be worse than so many external demons..."
Wu Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just as Jasmine said, no matter what, could it be more deadly than thousands of peak Ning Yuan?
Thousands of peak Ning Yuan attacks together, let alone him, even if the righteous people in the world join forces, they may not be able to withstand it.
Someone in the Kyushu Realm has calculated that among the contemporary monks, of all the good and evil sects, there are less than a hundred people who have reached the peak level of Yuan Condensation. These less than a hundred people have truly reached the end of the world's laws, and they may realize their original intention and break through the limit at any time.
, what makes Huandan successful is the reserve team of the real Huandan.
And even if all levels of condensation are added, this number will not exceed three hundred.
There are less than 300 Yuan Ning Yuan monks, plus the total of no more than 100 Pill Returning monks from each sect. The most high-end military force in the entire Kyushu Realm is these more than 300 to 400 top masters.
But in the Holy Imperial City at this moment, there are probably tens of thousands of peak Ning Yuan
Thousands of peak Ning Yuan...
Wu Jie hesitated for a moment before telling Tao Tu the bad news.
"No problem, I looked away." Tao Tu chuckled nonchalantly, "It's just thousands of peak Ning Yuan, but if you fight it, it will be smashed into pieces. It's nothing, it's really nothing.
."
But he immediately started to curse, from the ancestors of those extraterrestrial demons to their descendants, and he didn't stop for half a quarter of an hour.
In this half-quarter of an hour, Wu Jie led him all the way to the battle, killing more than a dozen foreign demons who blocked his way, and he also suffered several injuries.
In fact, the power of these external demons is not very strong, but they are not afraid of death when fighting, and their fighting methods are very strange. Even masters like Wu Jie suffered a lot of losses when they were caught off guard.
Any part of the body of these guys can be turned into a weapon, or fired, or exploded, or even turned into a small formation. If Wu Jie had not seen it with his own eyes, Wu Jie would not have been able to imagine that there was such a skill in the world.
Probably... only these guys who use other people's corpses as weapons can do such a thing.
Fortunately, they did not get lost. They fought hard all the way to break through, and finally arrived at the square they were fighting in not long ago.
But unfortunately, there were corpses everywhere in the square, scattered and densely packed, with blood flowing all over the ground.
"This...is this all an external demon?" Tao Tu's scalp was numb at the sight, and his voice even stuttered.
Wu Jie remained silent and looked up. The tall tower in the center of the square, the Ancestral Temple, was still there. The blue flame on the top of the tower was still burning slowly. Although the flames were much smaller than in memory, the effect of restraining extraterrestrial demons was still the same - in the Ancestral Temple.
Within a hundred feet of the surrounding area, there was not a single corpse. Even the corpses in the square were lying quietly motionless. I wonder if it was because they were restrained by the holy fire.
"Junior Brother Tao, we can only gamble on our luck now." He hesitated and said, "Maybe the power of the holy fire can still cover this square... Those corpses are really just corpses..."
"Elder brother, can you speak with a little more confidence?" Tao Tu smiled bitterly.
Wu Jie also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In fact, they all understand that the matter has reached this point and there is no choice at all. A large number of external demons are chasing after them in a steady stream. Apart from rushing into the Ancestral Temple, they have no way to go.
The two of them took a deep breath, and it was Wu Jie who was still carrying the clay. He took flying steps, like an arrow from a string, crossing the entire square and rushing towards the Ancestral Temple.
It was too late, but it was too soon. As they passed by, corpses stood up one after another and wanted to attack them. However, the reactions of these corpses were all slow, and they could only chase after them, posing no threat at all.
them.
In just a few blinks, the two of them crossed the square like lightning and rushed into the Ancestral Temple.
Sure enough, just as Wu Jie guessed, only the outermost circle of corpses in the entire square were possessed by external demons, and the rest were all real corpses.
If not, they would have probably been surrounded from the front and rear and fought hard to death.
The two stopped to take a breath, and then hurriedly climbed to the top of the tower.
At the top of the tower is a small room. On the altar in the center of the room, a green holy fire is burning slowly. In front of the altar, there is a small altar with various magical instruments on display. I don't know what it is.
What is it used for?
Wu Jie asked Tao Tu to study these magical artifacts, while he walked in front of the holy fire.
Although the holy fire is still burning, you can no longer feel the slightest vitality in the firelight. It is full of the aura of twilight, just like an old man in his dying years. Even if he can still survive, he is not far from death after all.
He stared at the holy fire and couldn't help but think of the scene when Li Yan and his daughter threw themselves into the flames one after another, and how countless masters followed the blue flames and rushed into the cracks in space one after another, sacrificing their lives to mend the sky.
And... some other scenes flashed before his eyes...
Time...has it really been a long time?
The fire suddenly flashed, and Li Yan's face appeared inside.
"Senior Brother? Junior Brother Tao? Why are you here?" He asked doubtfully, and then he became a little excited, "Is it the coalition of righteous people in the world who are here to destroy the demons here?"
