The world is in turmoil, and the wind and clouds are changing colors.
The arrival of the Sacred Aura Legion was extremely mammoth, and the movement of the super-giant cross-world transmission of Magic Array could not be concealed at all. Those giant alchemy ships made of metal and steel, and the fully armed dragons and legions were also eye-catching.
Almost immediately.
On the entire Moro Continent, almost all Immortal Ones are clearly aware of the teleportation reaction that is penetrating the world barrier. As for the Legendary Realms at the Crown Rank and Destiny Rank levels, most of them also feel it.
Many eyes are focused on the changing wasteland at the same time.
Moro Continent, left half of the land.
Human Empire, Taweina, Royal Court.
The atmosphere here is as solemn as iron.
After discovering the abnormality, the emperor Taweina urgently summoned his ministers and generals as quickly as possible to discuss urgently in the hall and discuss countermeasures.
Taweina Emperor is sitting high on the throne.
He is a human male, his true age is unknown, and his face shows the appearance of a human in his thirties. His eyebrows and nose bones are relatively prominent and clear-cut, his face is calm, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and he is currently scanning the ministers.
The most important thing is that he is a Immortal One.
Immortal One Emperor.
In the world of Bernardo, except for Sacred Aura who later emerged, most of the emperors of other empires were played by characters from the Legendary Realm.
Immortal One usually lives in seclusion and does not interfere too much with the daily operations of the empire. He spends his main time on his own cultivation and exploration, and will only fight to defend the empire when necessary.
However, the situation of Bernardo does not represent all Material World. Each place has its own traditions and specific national conditions.
For example, Moro Continent, the situation here is different from Bernardo.
Perhaps due to customs, or some historical reasons, in the empires on this continent, whether it is the old empires that existed in history and then died, or the several major empires that still exist today, the position of emperor is always held by Immortal One.
Power and power are all in the hands of Immortal One.
In this type of empire, the emperor represents everything, which is similar to Sacred Aura in a certain direction.
"You all already know."
"To the east of the Holy Niel Mountains, something unusual happened at the Right Continent. A super-large cross-world teleportation array was constructed, and a large number of legions were pouring out of it."
"What do you think of this?"
Taweina Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty!"
A Destiny Rank Legendary stood out from the crowd and said, "We have already observed the cross-world teleportation array of the Right Continent, and we can conclude that it was jointly constructed by Metal Dragon."
"They are suspected to be leading a certain Material Plane empire to cross the border."
"Moreover, many Dragonkin have emerged from the teleportation array. It is very likely that Dragonkin is behind this empire, cooperating with Moro's Metal Dragon Clan, and wants to come to our world."
Having said this, Legendary Realm's voice paused slightly and his eyes became solemn.
"They come with bad intentions."
"Dragon Race is in a worrying situation in Moro. They are willing to spend a huge price to build Magic Array and lead this unknown empire, which shows that they have great trust in this unknown empire to change their situation. Such trust is often based on some agreements or promises, which can allow Metal Dragon to obtain corresponding benefits."
"But whoever gains a benefit will lose a benefit."
"I think it's best for us to attack them immediately while their foothold is still weak."
"Destroy the teleportation Magic Array, cut off their path, and prevent the arrival of subsequent legions. Otherwise, when they gain a foothold, the consequences will be disastrous."
These words were resounding and reasonable.
Empire-level forces basically have some knowledge of planes and know that there are other Material Worlds outside the world they are in.
When an unknown empire is invading your own Material World, the opponent is often the most vulnerable in the early stages of its arrival and is easily repelled. If you give them enough time to establish a foothold, establish a stronghold, and expand their front, then they will have to pay an extremely heavy price if they want to repel it.
After hearing these words, many people who advocated war showed signs of excitement, exchanging glances with each other, eager to try.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, others raised objections.
"With all due respect, this is too rash."
"We lack information. We know almost nothing about this empire. Where they come from, how many legions they have, how many strong men they have, and what their purpose is - we are blind and completely unaware."
"Rushly starting a war under such circumstances may involve us in unnecessary wars."
"I think it's best not to act rashly."
Having said this, the man continued seriously, "Besides, the most important thing is that the location where these uninvited guests appear is to the right of the Holy Niel Mountains, which belongs to the Right Continent and is the territory of Necroxus."
"It's not us who should be worried the most."
Holy Niel Mountains.
This Mountain Range, originally named Niel Mountains, is a giant Mountain Range that almost spans the entire Moro.
Taking it as a boundary, the entire Moro is divided into the Left Continent and Right Continent.
Left Continent, is the territory of the living.
This place is co-governed by the Human Empire Taweina, Dwarven Empire Breniyue, as well as some scattered kingdoms and city-states. It is filled with smoke and vitality, and the scenery is no different from most Material Plane.
Right Continent, was originally the territory of the living.
But later, with the rise of the Necroxus Empire, the land of the Right Continent gradually became a forbidden land for the living and a place for the dead.
The paradise completely belongs to the Undead Empire, and after being transformed by Undead Life, the environment has become increasingly harsh and unsuitable for the living, just like some undead planes.
In order to resist the invasion of Undead, the living people united.
They inscribed a large number of sacred runes on the Niel Mountains, built fortifications to restrain Undead Life, and laid out layers and layers of barriers and restrictions along the direction of the Mountain Range----
After countless years of hard work, this Mountain Range was turned into a barrier and a moat, blocking the dead in the Right Continent.
Niel Mountains, later renamed Holy Niel Mountains, became the spiritual symbol and faith sustenance of countless creatures on the Moro Continent.
Time flows, and one hundred years pass by after another.
The living and the dead of the Moro Continent are constantly fighting around the Holy Niel Mountains. You come and go, and the saws are repeated. I don't know how many lives are buried under this Mountain Range.
"That's right!"
After weighing the pros and cons, someone echoed and said, "No matter what the purpose of these comers, they belong to the living after all, and the area they came to is in the Right Continent, which is much closer to Necroxus's home base than us."
"The living and the dead are destined to be incompatible. If they want to gain a foothold in the Right Continent, they will inevitably face Necroxus's counterattack."
"The one with the biggest reaction at this time should be Necroxus!"
"That makes sense."
"The Undead army under Necroxus must be preparing for war. We really don't have to rush to take action. It's best to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Let them fight first and see what's true."
For a time, there was a lot of discussion on Royal Court, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Taweina Emperor listened to these discussions without saying a word, thinking quietly in his heart.
Necroxus's territory has continued to expand over thousands of years, eating away at the land of the living inch by inch.
Although the survivors were protected by the natural chasm of the Holy Niel Mountains, it only slowed down this trend and failed to completely interrupt it. Sitting in the emperor's position, the emperor Taweina knew very well that if there were no accidents, Undead Empire would capture Holy Niel Mountains sooner or later.
When the time comes, Left Continent will be swept away by the undead.
The entire Moro Continent may become a paradise for the undead, and there will no longer be a place for the living like them to live.
And now.
A turning point seems to have come.
This mysterious empire from other Material World comes to the Right Continent with a strong attitude. It may be able to break the existing stalemate and bring about new changes.
The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit.
But the final result will be good or bad----
He wasn't completely sure either, he didn't have any idea.
In Material Plane, the most powerful country is the empire, but empires and empires are also different. At least, the Taweina empire does not have the confidence to descend on other Material World across the world on a large scale. In order to do so, it must at least unify its own Material Plane.
However, if you take the risk and try it without considering the consequences, Taweina can actually do it, but the risk is too great and it is not necessary.
It is difficult to determine what level this unknown empire is.
After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Taweina, although still unable to determine the future situation, had a preliminary idea, so he raised his hand and stopped the discussion.
"Give me my orders."
"Contact the Dwarfs of Breniyue immediately and tell them that we, Taweina, will not interfere in this matter."
"Let's first see what kind of sparks will arise between this mysterious empire, which is suspected to come from other Material Plane, and Necroxus."
"At the same time, send an envoy across the Mountain Range to inquire about the specific information and purpose of this empire."
"Remember, the primary purpose is to inquire, not to provoke."
Taweina Emperor finally decided to wait and see how the situation develops.
Whether this unknown empire is an enemy or a friend is yet to be determined.
However, going over Holy Niel Mountains to actively fight it would be an unnecessary waste of money for oneself.
If the opponent is a friendly force, that would be the best. You can confront Necroxus on the front line and share the pressure for the Left Continent: If the opponent is an enemy of the same camp as Undead Empire, then they have taken root in the Right Continent, and it is actually difficult to really prevent it from coming.
"As you command!"
His subordinates took orders.
It was a matter of great importance, and soon the response from the Dwarven Empire Breniyue came back.
Although the Dwarfs have a more violent and direct temper, and are willing to fight with hammers at every turn, and often never flinch when faced with provocations, they are also cautious in the face of such major events, and their thoughts are exactly the same as Human Empire Taweina.
If you are not prepared to intervene, just wait and see what happens.
Understand the other party's purpose before making other decisions.
After all, this is an empire brought over by Metal Dragons.
In the eyes of humans and Dwarf, Dragonkin has various character flaws.
Greedy for money, arrogant, and vindictive--but no matter what, Metal Dragons are always on the side of order, their character is relatively trustworthy, and they will not do anything evil. Metal Dragons also have good intentions towards weak and vulnerable beings.
Even if this goodwill actually carries a noble attitude and is part of showing one's own strength and nobility, it is ultimately much better than a chaotic and evil existence.
The empire they lead will at least not be the evil and chaotic side.
Immediately afterwards, as the survivors of the Left Continent made their decisions, the situation of the Right Continent also changed rapidly.
Necroxus Undead Empire.
Outside Tomb Pyramid.
Lich Sammaster was leaning against a tombstone, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.
But suddenly, Lich seemed to sense something.
He suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.
"This feeling----"
Sammaster The will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes jumped, then he raised his skinny fingers and made several gestures in the air, constructing a spell for perception and beyond-visual-range observation.
Phew!
The flames in his eyes seemed to have been watered with Black Oil, suddenly brightening up, and his vision spanned thousands of miles of mountains, rivers and distances in space. He saw the cross-world Magic Array hanging high in the sky, as well as the legions that continued to come out of Magic Array.
"This is?"
Sammaster's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Too similar.
Lich has been through many Material Worlds, is well-informed, and has a strong sense of discernment.
He discovered that the Alchemical Constructs and giant dragons he had just seen were too similar to the Dragon Breath Kingdom he had secretly observed in the Faerûn continent.
The standard Alchemical Armor, the emblems on the flag, the powerful and magnificent bodies and high-spirited spirits of the dragons
In subtle ways, they are many different from the Dragon Breath Kingdom.
However, their overall styles are exactly the same and come from the same origin. In Lich's opinion, they are completely carved from the same mold.
"These legions are the same as Dragon Breath Kingdom!"
Lich instantly understood the relationship.
This also means that the ruler behind these legions is Immortal Red Iron Dragon, whom he has met before and is not his opponent at all.
Sammaster's mind started to work rapidly, and countless thoughts collided in Soulfire.
After a few short seconds, the flames in his eye sockets swayed violently, burning with unprecedented excitement.
"If these legions are coming for you, they shouldn't make such a big fuss."
"They should have other purposes."
"I met you here purely by chance----"
But, by chance?
At such a point in time, we happened to meet again in this world?
Sammaster don't believe in chance.
There are so many Material World, almost endless, countless. Every day, many civilizations are born and die in the cracks of the world, and the probability of encountering them by chance among so many worlds is slimmer than a grain of dust falling back onto the same gravel.
But he just met it.
"This is some kind of invisible revelation."
"It's fate's favor!"
Sammaster and Soulfire are swaying more and more violently.
He was certain in his heart that the arrival of these legions and their coincidental encounter meant that Red Iron Dragon was the Death Dragon he had been looking for for countless years. There would be no surprises, it was definitely him!
"Finally, finally, finally."
"I finally found you, Death Dragon who will eventually rule all the worlds, Overlord who I must serve in this life!"
Sammaster felt as if he had come to life, and his emotional reaction was more intense than that of the living.
Although he thought Red Iron Dragon was Death Dragon before, because he had made too many misjudgments before, he was not 100% confident. He just felt that this was another opportunity worth trying.
But now, all his wavering has faded.
He felt as if he had truly come alive, and he completely and utterly believed that this giant dragon was his target.
Therefore, I must give everything, at all costs, to kill him, let him be reborn in death, and then worship him as my lord, and live through the end under his guidance, heading towards the true Eternal Realm Eternal!
My thoughts changed.
Sammaster stood up suddenly, his black robe rustling, and strode towards Tomb Pyramid.
"Necroxus!"
"Don't you believe what I said before?!"
"These legions have descended directly near your empire. Their purpose is obvious."
"Their target is you!"
"I've got you here!"
No sound came from the huge dead Tomb Pyramid, as silent as a mountain.
But when Lich came closer, Death Knight, who had always blocked him outside before, did not stop him anymore. He just silently moved out of the way and allowed him to walk in.
Inside the pyramid.
In the huge space, Undead Black Dragon has appeared in its true form. He is pacing back and forth, his claws and tail scraping against the ground, sparks flying everywhere.
Lich returns here.
"Now, do you believe what I said before?"
Sammaster stared at Black Dragon and said faintly, "I said, the more you fear something, the more it will become a reality. You can't keep running away."
"Necroxus, join forces with me."
"I can get you through this."
Opposite, Black Dragon suddenly stopped and then walked towards Lich.
"Sammaster."
Undead Black Dragon lowered his head, the huge skull came close to Lich, Soulfire was burning in his eyes, and said, "Do you know the origin of these legions? Are they coming for me?"
Lich nodded.
"Of course."
"The Overlord of these legions is the Death Dragon that I have been searching for so hard. We just had a pleasant contact some time ago. He is very powerful and does not trust me, but I promise that as long as you listen to me, we can gain his trust and recognition."
Black Dragon stared at him.
"You mean, these legions are related to you?"
"Were they attracted by you?"
Necroxus's voice was deep and gradually becoming dangerous.
"No."
"It is the invisible destiny that brings us together here. This is the guidance of the prophecy, and it is a destined encounter."
Lich said sonorously and forcefully.
"Destiny?!"
Black Dragon suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes, Soulfire exploded, and roared, "Sammaster, damn bastard!!"
"I shouldn't have seen you, you crazy and stupid Lich. I wanted you to come to me because of our past friendship, but you brought me enemies! Go back to your Phylactery!! Don't let me see you again!"
Black Dragon didn't know what the relationship was between Lich and this unknown empire, and he didn't want to delve into it.
But he knows that he will definitely be in trouble next, and this trouble is most likely related to Sammaster.
Even if it doesn't matter, he is not in a good mood right now and needs someone to vent to.
The words just fell.
Without giving Lich any chance to argue, Necroxus raised his huge bone claw, billowing deathly energy surged like black smoke, sweeping Lich away, and then the giant claw fell down with a crash.
Bang!
The ground was wrinkled and cracked, and Lich, which had not recovered much, was smashed into pieces.
The pyramid became quiet again.
Black Dragon started pacing left and right again, thinking deeply in his heart.
To be so praised by that lunatic Sammaster——the existence behind these legions must not be simple. Is it time for me to change my world to live?
As soon as this thought arose, he suppressed it again.
Necroxus is reluctant to give up.
Immortal Life cannot last forever in Material Plane.
In order to stay here for a long time, he needs some special substances, Dead Sun from the sky, grave soil soaked with Undead's breath, Yin grass, etc., are all he needs to maintain his condition.
These things cannot be packed and taken away directly.
What's more important is that Necroxus doesn't just sleep every day when he stays here. He has a grand blueprint of his own.
For example, create a field completely controlled by yourself in Material World.
This realm is equivalent to the deity's Divine Kingdom.
Inside, he can exert far greater power than the normal Immortal Realm, while the enemy will be severely weakened. Under the circumstances, he can find another way to reach the invincible state of Material Plane.
Necroxus has initially created the prototype of this field.
Although it is still far from the complete form he imagined, as long as he continues to develop and consolidate, it will eventually be fully realized. By then, as long as he stays in his own field, he will no longer have to worry about being killed.
Because of this, he certainly cannot give up easily.
Besides, the empire Sammaster brought is definitely not weak, but he himself is not easy to mess with----
Black Dragon thought for a few minutes, and his expression gradually calmed down.
He turned around and returned to the boundless darkness behind the throne, and the dark figure with the crown stood up, representing his will.
Clang!
A long sword burning with cold flames was unsheathed and pointed directly at Dead Sun in the sky.
At the same time.
As if receiving an invisible call, in the darkness of the huge Tomb Pyramid, pairs of cold and ruthless eyes gradually lit up, and the cold aura belonging to Immortal-tier Undead Life emerged throughout the pyramid, one after another.
"My minions."
The dark king's voice was cold and cruel, saying, "There are stupid living beings who are invading our territory."
"Go ahead."
"Let them feel the coldness and cruelty of death."
"Turn them into one of us!"
As the voice fell, the black Dead Sun in the sky emitted circles of light, sweeping across the Undead land like water waves.
The originally cold and dead area of the Undead Empire suddenly became lively.
One after another, Undead Life crawled out of the soft soil, cracked graves, or simply lifted up the coffins.
The bones collided, making a rattling sound; the carrion rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound.
The screams of ghosts are endless and soar into the sky.
----Under the influence of a certain unified will, countless Undead Life appeared from all directions and quickly gathered in the same direction, filling the mountains and plains with darkness.
In the pyramid.
Black Dragon hid deeper into the darkness, without showing any scales or claws, and his will was transmitted and distributed into many Immortal Undead bodies.
Let your minions and servants go first.
If you are not your opponent, then consider giving up on this world and running away.
This is what he planned.
Necroxus is cautious and afraid of death. Even if his true body is far stronger than any of Immortal-tier's minions, as long as the minions can't do it, his true body will not be able to do it. Unless he is forced into a desperate situation, he will mainly escape.
The other side.
On the wasteland to the right of the Holy Niel Mountains, the huge Magic Array in the sky is still running.
The difference from before is that it is no longer Metal Dragon who are maintaining Magic Array. As the tail flames surge, many space runes appear on the surface of the Aura Warships's armor, and then use each other as nodes to support the operation of Magic Array. The scene is similar to when Holden counterattacked Abyss.
This is naturally the alchemy technology obtained from Holden.
In the past, Holden used it to develop Abyss, but failed in defeat and paid a heavy price. Sacred Aura made some improvements and integrations, and used it to expedition to Material Plane. Some results have been achieved so far, but the road ahead is also full of twists and turns.
Tear!
Outside the steadily expanding Magic Array, a huge wrinkle suddenly appeared in the sky for a moment, and a golden-red light flashed like lightning and then disappeared.
Holy Niel Mountains on.
The black-haired emperor in human form stood on the top of a peak, with the temperature of Stellar Fusion Fire still remaining on his body.
"This is, Moro Continent."
"The rich Holy Energy, well, this Mountain Range has been specially transformed, and it is opposite Necroxus Undead Empire?
Occupying half of this Material World, the energy is not small."
Garos restrained his aura and looked at the scenery of this strange world.
Not long ago, he received news that the expedition to the Moro Continent had officially begun.
Although it's not yet the time to take action personally, Garos has just finished training and it's time to rest and adjust, so I came here directly to see what this so-called High-Star Material World is like.
"Black sun----"
Garos raised his head, and the sky scene of the Right Continent came into view.
Thick and rich Undead clouds are layered on top of each other, covering the sky. The normal sun's rays are completely unable to shine down. The air is filled with a cold white color, and the source of this light is a black sun hanging in the center of the Undead clouds.
Obviously, it's not the real Star.
There is no Star in the continental type Material World. Even if there is a sun in the sky, it is often the projection of the Astral Realm sun, not a star entity. It is very different from the cosmic planet type Material Plane.
"Undead energy?"
"No, it is a sphere made of pure Negative Energy. To be able to create such a thing, this Necroxus Empire cannot be underestimated.
Look, there is a high probability that it has its own unique skills."
Garos thought to himself.
Negative Energy is the basis of a series of energies such as Undead, eclipse, coldness, etc. It is a very primitive and pure energy that can absorb all energy that does not belong to Negative Energy, and the corresponding one is Positive Energy.
Negative Energy and elemental energy are the foundation of many planes and worlds.
In Material World, the distribution of these energies is often balanced, and there are not many extreme situations.
The Right Continent and Negative Energy in front of Garos are already rich and far beyond the Material Plane standard. There is even an unnatural Negative Energy Dead Sun.
In such a place, beings like Undead who are close to Negative Energy can exert far greater power than the living.
"Does this Necroxus want to create an environment similar to the Divine Kingdom in Material Plane?"
"However, this kind of environment that is too extreme and too large will be strongly suppressed by the Material Plane rules. How did Necroxus do it?"
Garos looked at Negative Energy Dead Sun thoughtfully.
The reason why he guessed like this was because he had a similar idea before, but did not have the conditions and ability to realize it. But now, Undead Empire has done something similar, which aroused him a lot of interest.
