In addition to Primal Emperor City, Shi Hao walked firmly towards the city. His forehead bones were still glowing, and as he gradually approached the ancient city, there were many skeletons on the uneven ground, some of which were lifelike, making people wonder whether there was still life.
Primal Emperor City In an open space not far away, there was a pile of skeletons burning, like a fire, and the fire was light red. You can vaguely see the skeleton area in the fire, as well as the flesh and skin that have not been burned, and even half of the face.
There are various runes locked around the fire. They are the Gedai magic circle, which blocks the fire. This is an immortal-level magic circle, and the burned flesh and blood are naturally immortal creatures, comparable to the existence of True Immortal.
There are many such fires outside Primal Emperor City. They were all destroyed under the city. In order to prevent the destructive atmosphere from being exposed, they were sealed with peerless runes.
"They are still here, how many... children?"
Yan Kuan brought Shi Hao to the city gate. Looking up, he could see that there were still people in the city. Although it is very cold and quiet, it lacks popularity. But there were indeed people on the ancient city gate tower, living creatures, seemingly a few children.
There were several ragged children, ranging from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen years old, with dirty faces and shabby clothes. The appearance of the two of them must have alarmed the people in the city. Several relatively tall figures appeared, including a few old people.
These old people are very weak, as if they have been seriously injured, Origin is damaged, and they are looking down with solemn expressions. The old, weak, sick, and disabled can be used to describe them. But these are the people who are fighting on the front line against the Foreign Realm.
In the early years of this era, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was peaceful and not threatened. It was because the Seven Frontier Kings lineage of Primal Emperor City stopped the army of the Foreign Realm that kept knocking at the pass, killed many immortal creatures, and suppressed the most important pass.
These people, these old, weak, sick and disabled in ragged clothes, these old people and children, they are holding up and blocking the front.
"Clansman?"
Above Primal Emperor City, an old man looked down, stared at Shi Hao, looked at the beating rune flames between his eyebrows, spoke with difficulty, and a glimmer of light appeared in his muddy old eyes.
This sound of clansman made Shi Hao feel a tremble in his heart. He felt a sour feeling in his heart, and his mind could not be calm. Is this a clansman? He has been fighting at the forefront.
The old man on the top of the city has white beard and hair, a thin and withered body, and only one arm. His clothes are ragged and stained with blood, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes are cloudy. His body is in great decline.
How much hardship have they suffered and how much suffering have they endured? Even children and frail old people have climbed onto the city wall. I'm afraid most of the young and strong people have died in the battle!
This is an isolated city with no one to support it. Even the top experts in the city cannot withstand such consumption.
Many people are defending the city, and the strongest one is naturally Seven Frontier Kings. However, there are too many enemies. They will not retreat after a hundred battles, and the place is stained red with blood. In the end, women, children, the elderly, children, etc. all came to the city to guard together and participate in the bloody battle.
"Senior!"
Shi Hao opened his mouth, looking up at the old, weak, sick and disabled on the city wall, feeling a sense of respect and excitement. He wanted to change everything.
On the city wall, dirty children looked down, ranging from eight or nine years old to fifteen or sixteen years old, with unkempt hair and wary eyes. Their faces were numb, and there was only a glimmer of curiosity deep in their eyes as they stared at the people under the city wall.
"Are you... from the outside... clansman?"
He looked at Shi Hao and spoke. He probably hadn't spoken for a long time. His voice was hoarse and his words were unclear. It seemed like there was only fighting here, blood and ruthless fighting.
"Really, True Immortal? Are you from the Immortal Realm? Are you reinforcements?"
The old man's gaze turned to Yan Kuan. Two bunches of Dao Light flew out of his cloudy old eyes, and he held a mouthful of Bronze War Axe in one arm. There was hope in his words, Primal Emperor City was so eager for reinforcements.
"I am not a Immortal Realm person."
Yan Kuan spoke calmly, and the old man's eyes dimmed a lot.
Under the instruction of Yan Kuan, Shi Hao stepped onto a three-foot-square bluestone under the city wall. It was very simple and there was nothing strange about it.
But when Shi Hao went up, the bluestone instantly glowed, and a ball of fire enveloped Shi Hao. It swept through his muscles, limbs and bones, not even Divine Soul was spared.
This firelight did not harm Shi Hao. He felt warm, and the rune flames on his forehead became more intense, as if he was being blessed by a force.
"It's not Foreign Realm tyrannical creature impersonation."
The old man nodded, and many people on the city wall, including children, breathed a sigh of relief. This stone can be used to test whether it is a real Shi Clan person.
"Please look up again."
The old man said cautiously, there is a Bone Mirror hanging on the city gate tower, which is very gentle. At this time, a Dao Light flower was shot, which went straight into the Shi Hao sea of consciousness and submerged into his soul. During this process, Shi Hao did not resist and waited quietly.
"The clansman, indeed the clansman, came with good intentions and did not lie."
The old man was excited, several other people in the city wall were also happy, and the children cheered in low voices.
"Little Stone, have a good chat with them."
Yan Kuan patted Shi Hao on the shoulder, and then retreated towards the back. Although he came with good intentions, he could not open his mind to accept this test. Some of the messages in his soul had too great a cause and effect.
Not long after Yan Kuan left, a blue fire appeared on the ground, like the fire of the netherworld, as if there was an immortal aura permeating the air, forming an insurmountable wall of fire. One-Armed Elder suddenly appeared, turned on defense, and walked out alone.
"Immortal Exalted, please come into the city."
Yan Kuan After waiting for a while, One-Armed Elder's voice came from the flames at the city gate. After experiencing the exchange with Shi Hao, the old man completely let down his guard. This was the first time in a long time that he took someone inside.
Yan Kuan stepped into the flames without hesitation, and the immortal Formation did not hurt him. There was a faint flash of light at the city gate, and the three people disappeared from the spot and entered the city directly.
During this process, the city seemed to have a huge soul body. It checked them and confirmed that there was nothing before they manifested themselves in the city.
"This is..."
They arrived at the center of Emperor City. There was a huge palace in front of them, the whole body was filled with light and fire, almost transparent. You can vaguely see several kings sitting cross-legged in the palace, burning their true bodies, igniting their bones, and releasing their essence from their flesh and blood to bless the city.
"After the Seven Kings died in battle, they burned their bodies to bless Emperor City, and they are still guarding this place."
The old man said very plainly, but it revealed too much sadness, helplessness, and sadness. Seven Frontier Kings, an earth-shattering big shot, had such a sad end.
Someone was sobbing not far away. It was a child, skinny and short, with mud on his face, wiping tears at the palace. The child's cry is very depressing and direct, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"The descendants of the Seven Kings are very pitiful now."
One-Armed Elder sighed lightly. After learning from Shi Hao what happened to the descendants of the Seventh Queen, he felt very heavy.
The ancestors gave an order to stay here and not retreat. They will stay with the city and die with the city. But is it worth their efforts?
"I hope you can take these children away."
One-Armed Elder said that he would violate the orders of his ancestors, make an exception, and let these children live. This era has reached its end, and old guys like them can foresee that Primal Emperor City may not be able to hold on.
Some of them had even been stationed here since the last era, so it would be fine to bury them with them, but he couldn't bear it anymore, but he couldn't bear it.
"Senior, take all the women and children, let's get out of here!"
Shi Hao said, feeling deeply touched and very uncomfortable. Most of the children in the city have lost their fathers, brothers and sisters, and some families have even lost their descendants. The whole Emperor City contains too much bitterness.
Shi Hao was in a heavy heart. He entered this ancient isolated city of Emperor Gate and learned many truths. It was difficult for him to smile and he felt very depressed. Moreover, the decisive battle is coming, and it will be even more dangerous here.
"The ancestors have an order! Moreover, we can't leave now even if we want to."
One-Armed Elder shook his head after being silent for a long time, and then led them to a Low Mountain. This place was quiet and silent. The foot of the mountain was covered with wormwood, and there were dried black blood stains on the mountain. It was dry and lacked vitality. This was the residence of Last King.
Seven Frontier Kings, and now Last King is left. He has not shown up for a long time. Is he really still alive? Even the people in the city don't know the details.
Unless it is a critical moment of life and death, the last one of the seven kings rarely takes action, because it is very difficult to maintain the lonely city. Only if he is alive can the city not fall and can borrow the power of Celestial Abyss.
"Meet the King!"
One-Armed Elder With reverence and piety, we salute and worship the Low Mountain here.
"Shi Hao has met Ancient Ancestor!"
Shi Hao is also very serious and salutes here with respect.
Even Yan Kuan bowed slightly. No matter what, the seven kings are all heroic and respectable. They fight here with their respective tribesmen, never retreat, resist the enemy Frontier Wasteland, and guard Nine Heavens and Ten Earths with their blood and life.
Low Mountain emits light, very soft and peaceful, spreading outward.
"I know your intentions, let the children go!"
This is what Last King said to One-Armed Elder. There is no pressure or energy fluctuation, everything is so calm.
One-Armed Elder's old eyes were sore, and turbid tears rolled down his face. He knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"It's useless for me to wait, it's a pain for the children!"
The last person in Seven Frontier Kings said this, sighing softly, very desolate, like withered yellow leaves falling. His voice sounded again, this time towards Shi Hao, with only two words: "Live!"
This is an exhortation and a warning. When you reach a certain level, you can foresee many things.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you think when you come here?"
Last King spoke again, this time talking to Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan said calmly, "We are here for Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Future, stay away from the outside world, and stay safe inside! First calm the turmoil, then take time to clean up everything in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and then find a way to deal with the few guys from the Immortal Realm, and gather all our strength to destroy Foreign Realm."
His voice echoed, Low Mountain didn't respond for a long time, and One-Armed Elder who was kneeling on the ground was stunned. He has stayed in Primal Emperor City long enough and knows a lot of secrets. Everything Yan Kuan said is an earth-shattering event.
"This is difficult."
Last King within Low Mountain finally spoke again.
Yan Kuan solemnly said, "You have to do it even if it is difficult, otherwise you will just wait for death. It is difficult to realize your plan. If you really want to solve the problem, you must first eliminate those guys who are constantly fighting among themselves and unite all forces before Foreign Realm can be eliminated."
Fellow Daoist, if you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos... You would really rather lead your descendants to a dead end than turn around and fight. If you continue to sacrifice like this, the traitors will continue to grow and develop, and they will continue to persecute you and eventually cut off your descendants.
If they continue, they will eventually destroy Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and Immortal Realm, plunging the world into despair. Is this result what you want to see? "
"Alas!"
Last King sighed from Low Mountain, and he finally made a decision, because everything Yan Kuan said was true and right.
Their past tolerance and putting the overall situation first were rewarded with frame-ups and betrayals. Among these internal fighters, there were many who had secret connections with foreign lands. Unless these people are dealt with completely and this group is eliminated, the war against foreign lands will never turn around.
"Foreign Realm is looking for clues about Ancient Artifact of Origin. We can..."
Yan Kuan and Last King discussed a plan to snipe Foreign Realm. This time Foreign Realm moved to find out some clues. The location is Sin Province.
Foreign Realm is much more united than Immortal Realm. The plans for Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are all carried out at the same time. The several Immortal King that are involved this time are all veteran immortal kings. The younger ones are only responsible for some fringe plans and will not take risks.
After all, Yan Kuan has only been practicing for a short period of time. The most he can do now is to compete with some weaker immortal kings. Against those Immortal King who take risks, he has little chance of winning. But if you plan carefully, you might be able to destroy a giant.
There are not many Immortal Kings on the Foreign Realm side. If one of them dies, it is a big loss. Moreover, with the changes in the world caused by the fall of the immortal King, the buffers between Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and Foreign Realm can be re-arranged to buy time for Yan Kuan to integrate Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the next plan.
"Dang..."
Just as Yan Kuan and the others were discussing, the dull bell rang. Primal Emperor City Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened, including the children, who also ran quickly and rushed to various parts of the city wall. They held various magical weapons in their hands, emitting powerful waves.
Shi Hao was shocked when he saw the figures running past one after another. These children were very athletic, far beyond their peers in the outside world. They were as fast as little cheetahs one after another, and the murderous aura they exuded was even worse than that of ferocious beasts.
Even children of several years old appear to be extremely healthy. But children are children after all. They are holding weapons, just to cultivate a sense of consciousness, and because there is really no one in the city, all the young and strong people have died in the battle.
"An enemy is invading!"
One-Armed Elder shouted.
Yan Kuan nodded to Low Mountain, and then teleported to the city with One-Armed Elder and Shi Hao. They saw that a layer of light curtain had risen to protect the entire ancient city. It was a light curtain formed by runes that could block the immortal attack.
A huge ferocious beast appears, but it is not its true form. An immortal creature appears through a corpse and targets the ancient city. This is a test to prepare for the final decisive battle.
The old man waved his hand and asked the children to take action. The communication between them was very simple and almost no words were used. A group of children were silent, standing in some special areas on the city wall, holding magic weapons, silently offering runes to activate the sacred power.
"Boom!"
The city wall seemed to be resurrected, glowing slightly, and then a huge sword light appeared and slashed forward, slashing at the ancient beast.
These children use special Secret Treasure, which can resonate with the wall and generate defensive runes and offensive and killing techniques.
However, after they urged them on, their little faces were as white as snow and lacked blood. Soon some people sat down cross-legged, silently reciting sacrificial inscriptions, and communicated with some "fires" in the city.
Those fires are very special, they are all skeletons, filled with immortal power. They are borrowing threads and wisps of divine light to transmit them through magical instruments.
The skeleton of the immortal creature is locked by a special runic circle, which lends a little bit of power every time, but accidents may happen. Once a small ball of immortal fire breaks out, it is enough to kill the children ten thousand times.
Moreover, if there is an accident during the transmission of the magic weapon, it will be a great disaster.
"Their fathers and ancestors, dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people rushed out with their lives Sacrifice, holding the flames of the bones of immortal creatures, and fought side by side with the king."
One-Armed Elder said calmly, this kind of thing is cruel and bloody. He was completely risking his life, but he said it so calmly.
"Calling on the power of Celestial Abyss will cost you even more."
One-Armed Elder sighed, in that critical moment, if Immortal King attacked, they could only fight like this.
