Rumble!
In the Barbaric Realm, Lamenting Imperial Mausoleum.
The golden barrier that had enveloped the imperial mausoleum had vanished along with the soaring red light.
Gu Yueai in a long robe, slowly walked into the deepest underground palace of the imperial mausoleum.
His hand caressed the shattered black wooden coffin, his eyes dark and gloomy.
"Completely deserted..."
Gu Yueai stood with her hands behind her back, her face ashen.
"These cunning old fogies actually came up with such a desperate plan to take away the divine blood."
"They didn't even spare Ying Zheng's corpse."
He paced back and forth in the empty underground palace.
But Gu Yueai was, after all, a shrewd and ruthless man who had lived for countless years, and he quickly Suppression his inner Wrath.
"Hmph... I wonder what price you paid to achieve this."
"But in the face of an absolute, irreversible trend, your struggles are utterly laughable."
Gu Yueai stopped in her tracks.
"Your current behavior is like that of an elephant sitting on a tree branch."
"Although I don't know how you climbed up there, but..."
"You will definitely fall, and you will be smashed to pieces!"
"Since you want to play, let's make this game even more exciting!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yueai tore it open with one hand!
"Laugh!"
He ripped open a portal emanating from it with his bare hands!
He flicked his sleeves, strode into the fray, and pursued the unknown battlefield...
Meanwhile, Time Rift.
The outskirts of the abandoned [Dragon God's Wings] factory area.
"Shh... shh..."
In the dim woods, countless Scarecrow puppets crawled on all fours and lay prone on the ground, searching.
And in an abandoned well not far from the factory area.
Two figures were hiding in a dark corner.
It was the Goblin Hero and Gexi, who was wearing sunglasses.
"What... what kind of monsters are these? There are so many of them..."
The goblin hero peered through the crack in the dry well at the Scarecrow outside and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"And they give me the feeling... so strong!"
"Even an ordinary puppet could easily tear apart our tribe's elite warriors!"
Beside him, Gexi's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
As a wandering knight who has left the China base and is traveling alone in the Barbaric Realm.
He didn't actually know who that [Watcher Scarecrow] was.
But the Sequence 016 [Order] Supernatural Ability in his mind was issuing an extremely dangerous warning!
If he hadn't decisively activated the barrier of Order, forcibly shielding the two from the life force within them and the other's killing intent...
They've probably already been surrounded and attacked by those monsters.
"The opponent's true strength is probably above that of Zandaya, or even the Elf Queen."
Gexi lowered his voice and said seriously, "Abu, we must get out of here immediately; we can't fight them head-on."
However, the goblin hero remained silent for a long time.
He gripped the broken holy sword in his hand, and finally gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm sorry, Gexi... I can't leave."
"If Zandaya disappears here, the Elf Clan will definitely hold us responsible."
"Using this as an excuse, they've become utterly enraged and declared war on us!"
"At that time..."
"The weak goblin tribe will surely become slaves and playthings of those elves!"
"Behind me are the lights of thousands of homes; I cannot stand by and watch my fellow villagers be drained dry and die."
Gexi smiled with relief at the goblin hero's suggestive look.
I understand.
Gexi patted the other person on the shoulder.
He has lived among goblin tribes ever since he was born into this cruel world.
Although those goblins were ugly, they were kind, simple, and amiable.
There was no backstabbing or endless exploitation like in human bases.
This simple and pure life brought Gexi, who had suffered the grueling 996 work schedule, a new perspective.
I felt true joy and peace again after a long time.
"I will not allow the goblin tribe to be destroyed."
Gexi pushed up his sunglasses. "Abu, I'll help you find Zandaya and rescue her!"
"Thank you, Gexi!"
Abu's eyes welled up with tears.
The two stared at each other, as if sparks were flying between them.
"Count me in, okay?"
Just as the two were gazing at each other tenderly, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them!
"Who!"
The two were so frightened by the sound that their scalps tingled, and they immediately turned around and jumped back a step.
Abu instinctively drew his holy sword and slashed at the enemy!
But Gexi grabbed his wrist, shook his head, and whispered.
"Don't do it."
"His ability to enter my domain of Order silently proves he had no intention of killing."
"Who are you?"
Gexi asked warily.
The shadow opposite appeared, transforming into a phantom of a death god wielding a black scythe.
"My name is Zhang Lingqi, and I come from China."
Zhang Lingqi exited the Intangibility state of [Executioner] and pulled down his hood.
"Due to some unexpected problems, I stumbled upon this Time Rift."
"Now, I need to kill a boss to open the passage back to the Barbaric Realm."
So... I'm inviting you to team up.
That's right, Zhang Lingqi has come full circle again.
He had been searching for a long time on the outer edge of the Time Rift.
To their dismay, they discovered that they couldn't see a single trace of the BOSS within a radius of dozens of miles!
It's highly likely that the infighting Watcher Scarecrow forcibly eliminated or captured all the nearby bosses.
So, in order to save time, he had no choice but to turn back and tackle the Scarecrow head-on.
Upon hearing this, Gexi suddenly realized, "So killing the BOSS is the only way to leave this place and return to the Barbaric Realm!"
"That's perfect! We need to go in and rescue Zandaya too. After we're done, we can take it down as well!"
With strong external support, Gexi accepted Zhang Lingqi's invitation.
The three of them crouched in the dry well and quickly began to plan how to sneak in.
Zhang Lingqi glanced through the crack at the swarm of puppets still frantically searching outside and calmly analyzed the situation.
"First, we must wait until all these Scarecrow puppets have left the core area."
They seem to be spreading outwards, searching for something.
Gexi and Abu exchanged a glance, indicating their agreement. "Then let's lie low for now and wait for the right opportunity."
Time flies.
Before we knew it, it was already eight o'clock at night.
New Deep Pool Fortress, crimson waves crashed against the breakwater.
Jiangnan, holding a dark gold Three-Point Double-Edged Spear, sat on a small hill made up of BOSS corpses.
He held a rag in his hand, wiping the blood from the gun blade.
"Tsk, each generation is worse than the last."
Jiangnan looked at the pile of strangely shaped corpses at his feet and sighed with some boredom.
From this afternoon until now, waves of monsters have been emerging from the portal.
Most of them are bosses from the Canglan Continent.
But in reality, apart from the [Abyss Jellyfish King] at the beginning, which is somewhat of a top-tier character, the others are pitifully weak.
After all, during the Destruction Five Days, even a B-rank BOSS could be considered a BOSS.
But these guys are only about as strong as ordinary A-Class Supernatural Ability at best, not even enough to warm up Jiangnan.
Lin Bayi, wearing a military overcoat, walked over through the blood.
He seemed to see the boredom in Jiangnan's eyes and said with a smile.
"Feeling bored? That's normal."
"After all, today is the first day of the Destruction Five Days, and those who were first pushed out of the boundary were the first to be eliminated."
"They are often the weakest, marginal monsters."
Lin Bayi pointed to the Blood Moon overhead and made a meaningful recommendation.
"If you really want to have fun, or want to get some top-notch benefits."
"I suggest you go into the [Time Rift] tomorrow and take a look."
"The truly powerful ancient bosses are mostly lurking inside right now."
What are they doing hiding inside?
Jiangnan looked up and asked.
"For the [Water of Life]."
Lin Bayi's expression turned serious.
"That stuff is not only the most powerful healing potion for regenerating flesh and bone in the Barbaric Realm."
"It's also a treasure that can enhance physical attributes at the genetic level and repair all hidden injuries!"
"Many ancient bosses were powerful because they had long occupied and drunk from the source of the Water of Life."
"Water of Life..."
Jiangnan stroked his chin, and upon hearing this word, his eyes finally showed a flicker of emotion.
He subconsciously looked down at the Qilin X-Type Reactor Core on his chest.
Jiangnan was making his own plans.
In fact, after the series of intense battles that afternoon, he had already clearly felt the strain.
This mechanical core could protect him from the onslaught of Annihilation.
But the physical strain and side effects are simply too great!
Before the problem of physical strain is completely resolved.
If you encounter a true Demigod- level monster, you might be dragged down by its core.
"This hidden danger must be eliminated! And the Water of Life..."
"It could very well be the key to rebuilding my physical strength."
Jiangnan immediately made a decision in his mind.
Tonight we'll rest and recuperate in the fortress, and tomorrow morning we'll charge straight into the Time Rift!
And what needs to be done now is...
"Buzz!"
On the sea, a new portal lit up once more, tearing space apart!
Jiangnan sat atop the mountain of corpses, showing no intention of getting up.
He simply raised his right hand and pointed to the portal that had just cracked open.
Then...
A flick of the finger!
"Nothing can withstand the power of this sword..."
"Where the finger points, a thousand blades are struck in an instant!"
"Call out!"
As Jiangnan's voice fell, a terrifying sword light shot out from his fingertips!
Inside the portal stood a wolf king, over ten meters tall, its body engulfed in flames.
He had only taken half a step out, and hadn't even had time to unleash his opening roar.
"Woof? Woof!"
The sword light pierced through its brow!
The poor wolf king let out a pitiful howl and died on the spot!
Splash!
Jiangnan's Human Emperor Lamp swung out a black chain, forcibly pulling the Wolf King's soul into the lamp wick.
Kill the monster, extract its soul, and that's it.
The entire process was handled by him, the Dragon God, with seamless efficiency.
Jiangnan looked at his fingertips and smiled.
This was the combination technique of the second and third of the five new Word Spirit that he had obtained from the Human Emperor Lamp during the day.
[Word Spirit: Sword Pointing (Sequence 094)]
[Function]: The caster can concentrate and shoot sword light from all five fingers.
The sword light is incomparably sharp, capable of penetrating conventional defenses, and its power and range increase in tandem with the user's physical attributes.
[Features]: Single shot, rapid fire, easy to use.
[Consumption]: 8 characters. Each launch requires a certain amount of stamina.
[Range]: Base range 5 meters, up to 100 meters as physical fitness improves.
[Activation Method]: Flick your finger and chant. "Where your finger strikes, a thousand blades appear in an instant!"
[Word Spirit: Sword Emperor (Sequence 086)]
[Effect]: After activating the Word Spirit, the caster's next sword attack will instantly increase in power by 300%!
It also comes with an absolute destructive effect, ignoring 50% of the target's defense.
[Characteristic]: Single-use, passive enhancement.
[Consumption]: 8 characters.
[Range]: The enhancement effect applies to the next sword strike, and the range depends on the sword move itself.
[Activation Method]: Before releasing the sword technique, chant. "Beneath this sword, there is nothing that cannot be cut."
Raising your hand isn't an apology, but a sword emanating from your five fingers.
Jiangnan gazed at these two basic but highly practical speech-based supernatural abilities.
When the Three-Point Double-Edged Spear is inconvenient to use, or when it has been disarmed, it is definitely a trump card.
Especially when the 300% amplification and armor penetration of the [Sword Emperor] (the same style as [Liu Ruyan]) are directly applied to [Sword Finger].
Even the strongest defenses are no different from paper in the face of this seemingly casual finger strike!
Jiangnan withdrew the sword intent from his fingertips, turned his head, and waved to [Dusk], who had been following not far away.
He didn't speak, but instead took out a notepad.
[Go, take that thing. Come with me.]
Completely brainwashed and controlled by [Word Spirit - Divine Edict], Dusk's eyes were empty, devoid of any emotion of her own.
He looked at the note, nodded, and indicated that he understood.
The next second, his figure disappeared in the distortion of space.
Less than ten seconds later, Dusk returned to its original spot.
This time, however, he had an extra suitcase in his hand.
Jiangnan nodded slightly, not looking at anyone else, as Dusk fell.
The two figures disappeared from the square, heading towards the fortress's hidden area.
Right after they left.
On the square, China soldiers were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and clearing away the monster's remains.
They were working while enthusiastically discussing what had just happened.
"Holy crap, the Dragon God is way too strong!"
"He just flicked his finger, like flicking cigarette ash, and instantly killed a boss!"
"Yes! The most amazing thing is that this amazing Big Boss is actually Huaxia Person!"
"Watching him unleash his divine power in the sky gave me goosebumps!"
This combat power is simply divine intervention! It's like a dragon brother fell from the sky! Hahaha!
The young soldiers chatted and laughed, and felt full of energy when doing dirty and hard work.
However, among these soldiers who were laughing and joking...
A soldier who was rinsing the blood off with a hose awkwardly raised his hand and pulled his hat brim down.
He seemed to really not want people to see his face, or rather...
He didn't want anyone to see his eyes, hidden in the shadows.
"That guy from Dusk... he's here too."
"The Dragon God didn't kill him, but instead turned him into a completely obedient puppet?"
While pretending to work, the Clown secretly watched the direction where Jiangnan and the other man had disappeared, his heart filled with unease.
Just now, in the chaos of the monster siege, the Clown silently infiltrated the China army.
He did this so that he could move around the fortress legitimately.
To better gather intelligence.
"It seems they plan to enter the Time Rift tomorrow."
The Clown silently pondered, "That place holds countless extraordinary opportunities."
"I have to find a way to sneak in too."
He looked down at the blood-soaked water at his feet, and his colleagues involuntarily flashed through his mind.
Nightmare.
He didn't know where the other person had gone.
I wonder if that stubborn guy has already been blown to ashes in the artillery fire.
But no matter how many people the Desolate God Society die, he never forgot his true mission of lurking here.
"Seeking revenge on Gao Qiu will not prevent me from completing my mission to stop the Dragon God."
The Clown let out a cold laugh. "No matter how strong you are..."
"Just watch, the final winner of this game..."
It will definitely be me.
After saying that, he continued cleaning up the battlefield with his head down.
At the same time.
Inside a secluded little room at the deepest part of the New Deep Pool Fortress.
Jiangnan sat on an iron chair and pointed to his suitcase.
"Open it."
Without Dusk, he stepped forward, entered the password, and opened the door.
Jiangnan leaned forward to look, his face expressionless.
In the luggage compartment, there was a pale-faced...
The little girl's head!
It was the tenth seat of the Desolate God Society who was beheaded during the Destruction Five Days...
[Tailor]!
