Chapter 683: Using the city as a chess piece, the overlord wins the battle
On the city wall covered with cracks, a fire was raging. A hundred-foot-long red dragon flew into the sky and was roasted to a fragrant aroma. Drops of red oil fell along the scales, splashing three liang of sparks.
"Eat? Why don't you eat?"
“Very delicious…”
Liu Xiangxiang looked at everyone innocently with her round face, holding the dragon meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"You...you can eat it..." The Anquan County Sheriff, a group of officials, and the children of aristocratic families would never dare to touch the body of such a demon.
"If you don't want to eat, then you...just...go, we can't stay here..." Liu Xiangxiang ate happily and muttered something.
"Alas, now the county is no longer a county, the city is in ruins, and the imperial court is almost in name only. Where can we go?"
This statement is quite true.
In the past fifty years, the territory of Dashang has shrunk more than ten times, and only the core circle can maintain the prosperity of the past.
The cities slightly further to the side were either attacked by monsters, immortals, or underworlds, or the whole city was evacuated, and they have long lost their former majesty.
The nominal twelve capitals and seventy-two counties of the Great Shang were no longer worthy of their name.
"When I finish eating, I will take you to... um... to Xuandu!" Liu Xiangxiang ate slowly, treating the food as a kind of enjoyment without any other thoughts.
Everyone discussed for a while and no longer declined.
If they don't leave, this kind of thing will happen frequently in the future. The imperial court's strength is limited and it is impossible to always worry about remote areas.
Similar deeds happen all the time in today's world.
Many powerful immortals or overlords are walking in the world. When they see injustice on the road, they immediately draw their swords to help.
But without longevity, the power of the establishment will ultimately be unable to resist the encroachment of all forces.
Only by going to the core area can we truly be stable. This is the inevitable trend and cannot be stopped.
As a result, the territory of the human race has shrunk significantly.
A large number of reports of the loss of territory were sent to the imperial court almost continuously during these two decades.
Every ten days and a half, the court will receive news that a certain county or city is occupied by demons, immortals, and the underworld.
The peak Immortal Emperor in the human world, and even the Left Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, and other detached Supreme Beings are all practicing in seclusion in order to seize the opportunity to become the Supreme.
Not only did there not be a unified voice in the court, but even among the major factions, there were many people who remained silent and secretly accumulated strength.
Shang Yue, the master of the Supervisory Hall, Fang Yi, the director of the Inspection Department, as well as the Taishi, Taifu and Taibao are the most powerful people today.
But it is difficult for them to deal with so many wars.
People's hearts are truly in chaos.
Sixty years.
In order to reduce human unrest as much as possible and allow all parties to have a place to resolve their grievances.
In Xuandu City, Xuandu Prefecture, a ‘Battle for Overlord’ was held, in which all parties, regardless of race or power, could participate.
Each game uses a city and the surrounding villages and towns as bets.
The area obtained by the winning side can be protected for a hundred years from invasion by all forces.
Violators will be punished by all parties!
This is an ancient fighting rule that appears every time a dynasty ends and the world is in turmoil.
Three to five thousand years ago, this kind of battle to win the championship reached its peak.
At that time, there was no unified dynasty in the world, and the power of one city and one country was everywhere.
Various forces have used battles to divide territories and define time limits.
At this time, the imperial court is still the main force in the human world, but both the Immortal Court and the Underworld are watching with eager eyes. In addition, the demon clan has also united into an alliance, with the intention of stealing the orthodoxy of the human world.
Reluctantly, a four-legged situation was formed.
Moreover, the four forces all have their own selfish motives, making it difficult to unite, which also makes the battle for the championship the current focus.
‘Overlord Seizes the Battle’, limits the cultivation strength, which is from the first level to the fourth level of the Palm Dao Realm. It can be lower, but cannot exceed.
Many human overlords have come, not only to make a name for themselves, but also to compete for territory for the human race.
Feng Chengdao also brought his family with him to Xuandu City.
He has now reached the third level of mastery, and is about to enter the fourth level and become the pinnacle overlord.
Also reaching the level of overlord, Tie Tang's second disciple Du Yong sang.
Among the remaining three people, Xie Fei, Ye Qiu Shuang, and Hong Wu, it was Hong Wu who was the last to enter, and took the lead in entering the Mysterious Immortal Realm and becoming an Immortal God in the Hedao Realm.
As for Xie Fei and Ye Qiu Shuang, one is in the Immortal Realm of Immortals and the other is in the Witch God Realm and have not yet become immortal gods.
The four of them rushed to the Feng family, while Xie Fei went to the capital to meet his father, the master of the palace.
Xuandu City has always been known as the best city in the world. There are many masters in the city, and there is Feng Miao, the transcendent supreme one, so no one has ever dared to offend.
When he learned that Tie Tang's disciples were coming, Feng Miao also came out to greet them.
"I jointly promoted the holding of this championship battle. Immortal Court, Underworld, and Ten Thousand Demons Alliance all agreed and offered a lot of money.
Those who can come out on top may even get a supreme magic weapon.
This extremely magical weapon was taken out by Immortal Court and is called the ‘Heaven-shaking Seal’.
For this reason, we spent six pieces of ninth-grade immortal weapons from three parties in exchange for this divine seal.
Among them, there must be a peerless overlord who is full of confidence.
This time I take action, I am definitely here to be number one!
Are you sure?"
Ye Qiu Shuang blinked her big eyes and looked at Feng Chengdao, then turned to look at Du Yongge. Hong Wu was sitting upright, not squinting, and silent.
"I have just entered the first level, and there is a gap in my cultivation. I am sure I can win one or two games, but winning the championship... is impossible."
Du Yongge made it clear that he has a clear understanding of his own strength.
Feng Miao glanced sideways: "What about you? You are Tie Tang's eldest disciple. You are bound to attract attention from all parties and may be targeted."
Feng Chengdao was quite confident: "On the battlefield, strength speaks for itself, and it doesn't matter whether the needle is aimed or not.
I have been practicing Master's "Taichu Xuan Jing" for many years, and it has been completely integrated with the blood in my body.
Within the realm of Zhang Dao, I almost don’t have many opponents.
Even the divine envoys from the fourth level of the Divine Palace can hardly defeat me."
"So you are sure to win the first place? Then I have to make plans..."
"Hey, senior, wait a minute! I don't know who my opponent is now. What if Xianting finds someone like the 'Shen Shou'?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then I am not completely sure!
After all, I haven’t reached the fourth level yet, nor have I truly reached the extreme of this state.”
Feng Miao frowned: "If you can't do it... then it will be a bit difficult. Do you have to give up a Ji Dao divine weapon?"
"There are still some top overlords in the world. Let's see if they will come when the time comes." Feng Chengdao did not dare to boast about things he was not sure about.
"That's right. Putting aside this, what news has Tie Tang received in the past few years?"
"Master, a few years ago, he restored all the five incarnations to their true bodies. It must have reached a critical point. He and Miss Feng were both obscured by the sacred tree. We don't know what the progress is."
"The world is really in chaos..."
"If Master reaches transcendence, he will be able to regain the power of the human emperor back then, and everything will be easily solved."
"Yeah, I think so too, but I don't know how long it will take?"
…
On March 3rd, the peach blossoms bloom.
Outside Xuandu City, there is a Peach Blossom Ridge, which is now covered by a thousand-foot-large chaotic star sea.
This is the arena battlefield that Feng Miao cut from the outer starry sky and used it as the overlord to win the championship.
The rules for winning the battle are simple.
Limited to one year.
Anyone who wants to participate in the battle can directly enter the ring. He must win at least one game before he can continue to defend the ring, or he can rest in the ring and fight again later.
The first to win nine times in the ring will be considered successful and will be ranked first.
If no one reaches nine times.
After the one-year time limit has passed, the top ten will be judged based on the number of rounds they defended.
The first place can get the ultimate divine weapon ‘Heaven-shaking Seal’ and a ninth-grade protective immortal armor.
There are different rewards for second place and below, and the lowest one can get is a ninth-grade immortal weapon.
certainly.
The immortal overlords who come to join the battle are not all here for the lottery.
Some people want to make a name for themselves, some people want to compete for the territory of the city, and some people... aim their rewards at their opponents.
Those who can participate in the war are at least immortal overlords.
But when it comes to the ring, there is no Immortal Emperor who is detached and will intervene at the critical moment.
In the arena, victory or defeat is determined only by life and death.
The property of an immortal overlord is enough for people in the same realm to covet.
"Today all the heroes have gathered together to discuss victory or defeat. Regardless of success or failure, those who want to win can go on stage on their own."
Xie Zhuo, the lord of Xuandu Palace, started this ‘Battle for Overlord’.
On the outskirts of the Chaos Star Sea, there stands a golden flag, which contains detailed rules for winning the battle, as well as victory rewards, and the top ten highest rankings are also recorded at all times.
Bang!
A giant deep-sea shark, transformed into a demon-headed body, was the first to arrive above the Chaos Star Sea.
"Who will die?"
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Shark Immortal's mouth, and the demonic power outside his body almost turned into reality, like ribbons lingering around his body.
This time to win the championship, there is no apparent power affiliation, it is all a personal battle.
But everyone present knew it.
The demon clan, the fairy court, and the underworld are all here for the human race.
after all.
The winnings of the bet...are the cities in Dashang's territory in the past.
Therefore, as long as there is no human race in the arena, someone will choose to join the challenge.
"What do you have to fear from the demon clan? Yan is here to teach you a lesson."
Bowenhou, Yan Feiyu.
When he met Tie Tang, he was already an immortal and overlord.
Now that decades have passed, he is still the overlord and has not entered the Immortal Emperor Realm.
"Okay, do you have any city bets?"
"Nonsense, have you?"
…
Under the notarization of all parties, the two people agreed to bet on the city, and then they all fell into the Chaos Star Sea and started a fierce fight.
Feng Chengdao sat in mid-air, Xie Fei, and Ye Qiu Shuang gathered around and chattered.
"Elder brother, can he win?"
"It's hard to say, since they are both overlords, at least there is no obvious difference in their cultivation. It is difficult to tell without actually fighting.
But I heard Master say...
This Bowen Hou Yanfeiyu is the ninth transformation of dragon and silkworm. He can recover from the near-death state to his peak state in an instant.
And he can use this method nine times!
If this Shark Demon Immortal doesn't recognize the changes in Marquis Yan, he will definitely be defeated."
The fight in the chaotic sea of stars is just like what Feng Chengdao said.
Yan Feiyu only attacked but did not defend, and exchanged injuries for injuries. Soon both the man and the demon were seriously injured.
But just then...
Hong Wu, who had been silent all this time, said: "He is going to lose, let him admit defeat, lest he die in vain."
"lose?"
This sentence made Feng Chengdao a little confused.
Even with his eyesight, he still thinks that Yan Feiyu is about to win.
"Junior brother, you mean shark..."
The words were not spoken yet.
I saw the Shark Demon Fairy suddenly open its bloody mouth, which was as big as a thousand feet. The blood in Yan Feiyu's body was aroused, and it spurted out like a blood fountain.
This is a unique avenue for this shark.
Boom!
Feng Chengdao reached inside and fished out Yan Feiyu, who had only a layer of human skin and bones left.
"He gave up."
"Human race..." The blood shark stared at this side with ferocious eyes, and finally did not choose to attack.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Do you want to have a fight with me?" Clouds rose at Feng Chengdao's feet.
But the blood shark slowly shook his head: "I am not your opponent, so let's not fight now."
He immediately gave up, but not many people laughed at him.
As for the human race, they lost one game at the beginning, so they couldn't laugh.
Xian Ting, the immortal overlord of the underworld, would not think there was anything wrong with this move, because they might have to face this kind of scene later on.
After the blood shark ended, Feng Chengdao was also a little anxious.
Now that this demon fairy recognizes his own strength, the other gods and gods will not be idiots. Even if he steps into the ring, there may not be any challengers.
"It seems that you haven't learned anything about Master's methods. How can you dare to call me Senior Brother?"
As soon as Feng Chengdao heard these words, he saw someone climbing into the ring.
It’s all chanting!
But he had already restrained his aura, changed his face, and even put on a jade ghost face.
"I'm just here to ask for money, but can anyone come here to learn from me?"
Du Yongge only mastered the first level, and his face was covered, so no one recognized him. Soon, a nine-headed mysterious snake came out from the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance and mastered the third level.
"Hehe, Senior Brother, you were outclassed by Second Senior Brother this time." Ye Qiu Shuang blinked her big eyes and teased.
Hong Wu went straight to the soul: "Fourth Senior Sister, I don't know that the number two on the killer list is indeed not as good as the number one on the killer list."
Feng Chengdao laughed angrily.
But he quickly thought of a way, leaving only the incarnation of Taichu in the same place, while his real body escaped thousands of miles away and changed his disguise.
Not long after.
Du Yongge on the stage, with an "extremely difficult" slight advantage, forced the Nine-Headed Black Snake to bow his head and admit defeat, and "reluctantly" won the battle.
For the human race, they won their first victory and also won a city.
The next month or so.
The human race must participate in almost every game, winning and losing evenly, and they all chant and follow the wind. After winning four games, the ranking remains high under the golden banner.
This move finally attracted everyone's attention. Even if they still didn't recognize the identity of these two people, they would not easily fight with them.
And besides them.
It’s not like the human race doesn’t have a peerless overlord.
The Nine-Year Arrow God—Han Jun!
The Tyrant Sword Immortal - Zan Xing!
These two men shocked everyone with their skills as soon as they appeared on the stage. After winning a match, no one dared to enter the ring easily.
They are also old acquaintances of Tie Tang, and have even obtained one of the Nine Secrets of the Divine Phoenix. Over the years, they have cultivated their skills, and their strength has almost reached the top of the Zhang Dao Realm, and they can break through to the Divine Emperor Realm at any time.
More than a month has passed.
The human race is gradually declining. Among the three forces, especially the Immortal Court and the Underworld, there seem to be countless top overlords, emerging one after another.
Even Du Yongge's five-win record was broken. He was defeated and was not allowed to continue participating in the war.
At this time, the one who defends the most in the arena is Immortal Lord Shenxiao from Immortal Courtyard.
He has won six games and will win three more games to take first place!
Game 7.
Feng Chengdao climbed into the ring and fought head-on with Immortal Lord Shenxiao.
This battle between the two is almost considered the first battle.
And his identity as Tie Tang's disciple also made him highly trusted by the human race. The sound of joy and encouragement, accompanied by the rich fragrance of flowers, spread throughout Taohua Ridge.
"Wait!"
"There is something wrong with this person, how can he bring the ultimate divine soldiers to the arena?" Ziwei Tianjun, who was sitting in the sky, pointed out the boundary monument in Feng Chengdao's body.
Feng Miao secretly sent a message, asking Feng Chengdao to hand over the boundary monument first.
There is nothing we can do about it. Although there are no restrictions on weapons in the battle, the highest currently available is the eighth-grade immortal weapon.
There has never been a Jidao Immortal Soldier!
Once defeated, the immortal soldiers will have to be handed over to others. Therefore, unless they are very confident in themselves, generally the overlord will not bring immortal soldiers of too high a level to the arena.
After all, if a person dies, he can still be resurrected through the mark of immortality.
But if the immortal soldiers are gone, then they are really gone.
At this time, Immortal Lord Shenxiao said indifferently: "If you don't have any weapons and don't want to take advantage of them, you can still bring them, but I will also use the Jidao Immortal Arms to deal with it.
If you win...you can get another one!"
He was neither sad nor happy, but his tone was extremely arrogant, making Feng Chengdao want to nod in agreement immediately.
but.
The boundary monument is not his own, and it is not even considered Tie Tang's weapon.
Feng Chengdao believed that he had no right to make the decision, but he still shook his head and refused.
"No, I hope you will still have such a strong tone when you beg for mercy later."
"The ability of the orthodox Lord...how many points did you get? Come on!"
The divine sky is like a feather, falling lightly into the sea of stars.
Hong Wu, who was watching the battle from a distance, seemed to see a familiar shadow on him and couldn't help but frown.
