There is a 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.
The weather in the restricted area has stopped being chaotic for some time. There are no violent rains, snows and powerful hurricanes, and 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 something bigger at any time.
The danger is coming.
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 are arranged one after another. Above the city wall, there are also five-step posts and ten-step posts. From a very far away, you can feel the intense and indescribable aura of chilling.
The black mist spreading in the sky stopped abruptly outside the city wall, as if it was blocked by something invisible. Above the city wall, some figures standing quietly in the clouds could be vaguely seen, and they did not cover themselves.
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: "北都".
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 sky and the earth 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, the KTV is still noisy, and the vegetable market is still lively.
Only when you move to the city wall can you see a hint of fatigue on the faces of the warriors standing guard.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard 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 him, the postures of all the warriors became more solemn.<
/p>
"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 was 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 come!"
"Thank you!" Wu Dinghou briefly thanked him again, which made Ding Anbai feel flattered.
What kind of status is the prince? If it weren't for the urgent shortage of 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 incident between his daughter and Shen Qian, but at a certain level everyone is aware of it. 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 in the city, warriors of a certain level are panic-stricken. Please be my representative and inspect the city defense with me. In fact, there is another purpose. I want to take advantage of it."
Your mouth will convey the true situation of the city's defense."
"Please rest assured, Marquis Wu Ding, I look forward to seeing the military morale at its peak, and the northern capital will definitely be unbreakable!"
Ding Anbai immediately expressed his stance upon hearing this, and the businessmen from the Medical Association following 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 indestructible. 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 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, and as the last symbol of the human race's defense line, the Northern Capital alone has more than thirty princes gathered here.
Under the deterrent of such power, at least the residents in Beidu City cannot 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 make such nonsense, so everyone became nervous for a while.
"According to reports from various places, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups have stopped moving 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
Not even a C-level town..."
Wu Dinghou said indifferently, "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 have they gone?"
"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 we, 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 violently.
I saw the star-like fist force spurting out, and in the blink of an eye it spread tens of kilometers away. 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.
"Awd Delem of the Heavenly Clan has learned the lesson, but... is this the strongest prince of the human race today? It seems that it is still a little bit wrong!"
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."
Marquis Wu Ding 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 can 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.
He recalled Wu Dinghou's words, thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask Wu Dinghou, how did you predict that the powerful men of ten thousand races would 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 powerful aliens above the prince level currently besieging Beidu is close to a hundred, and this number is still increasing with the passage of time."<
/p>
"Currently, because of 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. p>
"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, so he had to look at Wu Dinghou with an apologetic look, but in fact he was also extremely curious inside.
The princes blocked the news about the War in the Center of the Earth. 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 the customs, I will not let him come to Beidu."
The girl frowned when she heard this. She 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 transcended 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 are burning blazingly. Above, the Shennong Cauldron, which has been enlarged to several feet, is spinning quietly, and a human-shaped thing that looks like a lake is floating in it.
The humanoid thing flickered on and off, and it seemed like there was no life in it.
Suddenly, a bright silver ray grew out of the humanoid thing like a flickering candlelight. Then, the silver grew stronger and stronger, and soon turned into a mighty river, flowing all over the humanoid 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, flesh and organs grew out again, followed by facial features and hair.
Soon, a handsome young man reappeared in the tripod.
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.
Leaning a little, all the strange things 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 is actually only five or six days, but for Shen Qian, it has truly been a thousand days and nights.
During this period, he alternately polished his body, energy and mental strength, striving to reach his current limit.
The first thing to reach the peak of the Eight Forbiddens is spiritual power, which is also the area in which Shen Qian is most talented, followed closely by Lei Pi himself and Huo Shao himself day and night.
**It took Shen the previous year to reach the peak of the Eight Forbidden Countries, and it also consumed all the Yin power from the Eighth Senior Sister.
The real trouble is still Yuanli... Under inhuman torture, Shen Qian suffered for another two years, and finally tempered his new Yuanli 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 known to have reached such a state after King Jiangling in history.
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 Zones would require a very special opportunity.
"It's been almost a week for the outside world, 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.
