The Wraith King emerged

The desolate wilderness Jiangbei, the Rainy Season, the last night.

Near the ravaged Flat City of Pingcheng, a "Blood Sacrifice Formation" flickered slowly like breathing, patiently awaiting its master's arrival in the darkness.

Soon.

A man draped in a black Cloak, with Crimson Triangle pupils that spun wildly, surrounded by a group of Strange Entities, walked step by step into the center of the Blood Sacrifice Formation, his face flashing with madness.

He then placed the Mountain-Skeleton Embryo in his hand on the array platform.

Formation complete!

The next moment -

Suddenly, the entire Blood Sacrifice Formation lit up with an extremely dense Crimson Beam, piercing straight into the sky as if breaking through the darkness.

The Golden Light Pillar began to rotate continuously.

The Ghost Material, Eerie Stone, blood of Flat City's Living Beings, and the Wraiths within the Grand Array began to rapidly perish, transforming into a thick crimson stream that surged into the body of the man standing on the formation platform.

A few breaths later.

Everything gradually calmed down.

The man standing on the platform was enveloped in an extremely dense and terrifying Scarlet Glow. The Crimson Triangle in his eyes slowly stopped rotating as he felt the abundant power within his body.

His pupils were filled with anger at learning of Okra's death and excitement at breaking through to the Wraith King; the two emotions constantly mingled, making him appear somewhat manic.

He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Nameless Mountain.

He said in a hoarse voice.

"Avenge Okra and reclaim the Godslaying Spear!"

"King!!"

Millennium and Qianqiu, who were guarding outside the Formation, knelt on one knee to celebrate the birth of the king.

Nameless Mountain.

This is located in the northernmost part of the Jiangbei Wasteland, in a mountain Canyon that is usually almost deserted.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, silently scanning each building in the Camp. Every detail here was designed and built by his own hands. He rarely mentioned his past life, as there was nothing to reminisce about.

In his previous life, he was a game designer.

A game always undergoes a final test before it is released.

And now, he...

It's like a creator examining their own work, quietly awaiting the final, ultimate stress test.

January, the Rainy Season.

It was also his first month in this world.

The world has given him enough time to develop; now it's time for him to hand in his answer.

Beneath his calm exterior, his thoughts were racing. Based on his experience, no matter how well prepared one is, unexpected events can still occur at the last minute. What he needed to do was to prepare as much as possible to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

"Copper Pipe inspection."

Cold white flames flowed from the Level-5 Eerie Fire within the Camp, trickling into Copper Pipe and connecting to the various Cannon Tower.

"The Copper Pipe is undamaged."

"The City Wall has been inspected; City Wall is undamaged."

"The Eerie Stone has been inspected and is undamaged."

Just then -

In the endless darkness, he clearly saw a Crimson Beam piercing the Firmament from afar. Even from such a distance, he could clearly see this scene and felt a terrifying threat emanating from that Crimson Beam.

"The Blood Sacrifice Formation is complete."

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan calmly gazed at the scene in the distance. He didn't know what methods the Wraith King had used to obtain another Mountain-Skeleton Embryo, but he knew one thing for sure: the formation was complete.

The Wraith King... has successfully broken through.

And at that very moment.

Weiwei, who had been lying in the Cave beside the Farmland, snoring softly, seemed to sense something and woke up instantly. Her body began to tremble violently uncontrollably, her eyes filled with fear, and she let out a low growl.

Then, almost without the slightest hesitation.

Take a quick running start.

It leaped directly into the air, bursting through a gap between the City Wall and the mountain, bursting out of the Cave, and rushing into the depths of the Canyon, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fan frowned as he looked at the scene. This was the first time he had seen Weiwei so terrified, and the first time he had realized that this guy could jump so high, even though he usually seemed to be completely incapable of jumping.

He was about to shout that it was safer inside the Camp than outside.

But before he could utter a sound, the guy vanished.

"Fine."

He murmured softly, thinking that the main target of this Wraith King should be his Camp, and he wouldn't go to great lengths to find Weiwei.

"Bring it on."

He tapped lightly on the Parapet with his fingers, the rhythmic sound mirroring the beat of his heart.

Standing beside him, Zhou Mo's breathing gradually became rapid. He gripped the Great Knife tightly with both hands, his mind filled with the Water-Cutting Saber Art he had been practicing diligently these past few days.

He knew, of course, that his rudimentary skills were practically useless in a fight of this caliber, but he still had to do something.

The monkey, also holding Godslaying Spear, stood beside Chen Fan, but with its head down, seemingly lost in thought.

In a corner of the City Wall.

The Big Fish was so nervous that he clutched the hem of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white.

And in the same instant.

Throughout the entire Jiangnan Water City, everyone who was still awake turned their heads to gaze at the Crimson Beam that pierced the Firmament and could be faintly seen through the darkness above the Jiangbei Wasteland.

"That's... Blood Sacrifice Formation!"

The man with a feminine appearance, still sitting in the Teahouse, suddenly changed his expression.

"A Strange Entities broke through to the Wraith King during the Rainy Season in the Jiangbei Wasteland."

"Are we still going to Jiangbei?"

"Jiangbei might be wiped out by this Wraith King."

"Don't go in, return to the valley."

The Elderly Man sitting beside him remained relatively calm. "The intelligence was incorrect. The Valley Master was unaware of the birth of Wraith King in Jiangbei. He has already issued an order to immediately retreat to Medicine King Valley."

"With you here, what are our chances of surviving if we encounter the Wraith King?"

"One-tenth."

"That's probably because the Wraith King has eaten his fill."

In the darkness Jiangnan Water City.

A white-clad youth, holding Heavy Ruler, walked slowly forward in the darkness with his eyes closed. His ears twitched slightly, and he Heavy Ruler swung the ruler, smashing it into a corner of the darkness. The Strange Entities howl followed.

The young man skillfully pried an Eerie Stone out of the Strange Entities's head.

Move on.

But perhaps sensing something, it suddenly opened its eyes and saw a Crimson Beam rising from the ground on the distant horizon in the extremely dense darkness. After a long while, it scratched the back of its head.

"Blood Sacrifice Formation..."

"It seems another Wraith King has broken through."

"Hmm... it seems we can't go to Jiangbei then. Where should we go? The Rainy Season is coming to Jiangnan, East River, and Jiangxi. Where can we find a place without Rainy Season to kill Strange Entities..."

"This is really a headache."

"Jiangbei Old Devil, what is that?"

Inside the Inn.

Gongyang Gao's daughter leaned against the window, her eyes filled with curiosity as she gazed at the Crimson Beam outside.

66

The Green-Robed Man standing to the side remained silent for a long time before whispering, "That's Blood Sacrifice Formation. Many people will die in Jiangbei tonight. A Strange Entities used this formation to break through to the Wraith King level."

"Is the Wraith King very strong?" the girl asked, tilting her head.

"Very strong."

How strong is it?

"Human Cultivator at level 10 are called 'Martial King,' and those who break through to the Wraith King are what people commonly refer to as Level-5 Strange Entity."

"Um.

After thinking for a moment, the girl said, "You seem much weaker than Jiangbei Old Devil. Father said you're a level 9 Cultivator, and you're about to break through to Martial King."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, the Jiangbei Old Devil couldn't help but laugh at himself, "One Wraith King can defeat three Martial Kings."

"Humans are far inferior to Strange Entities in individual combat strength, and Cultivator are not the mainstream in this world. To put it bluntly, if this Wraith King launches a night attack on your Gongyang Clan, your Hidden City will cease to exist after tonight."

The girl then realized the seriousness of the problem. "Are we still going to Jiangbei?"

"Let's not go. We'll wait until the Jiangnan Rainy Season ends. By then, the newly emerged Wraith King in Jiangbei will be about to leave, and then we'll go to Jiangbei."

"But..." the girl said indignantly, "It sounds a bit unfair. Why is it that humans need to reach level 10 to be called 'Martial King,' while Ghost Beings only need to reach level 5 to be called 'Wraith King'? It sounds like Wraith King break through their Cultivation much faster than humans."

"It's unfair, so your father was right, the Eternal Night Continent has become a world of Strange Entities."

The Blood Sacrifice Formation has appeared.

The Wraith King breaks through.

This instantly attracted the attention of many forces and disrupted the plans of many others.

"Blood Sacrifice Formation?"

In Northbank City, inside the North River Chen Family, Chen Quan's mother, sitting in the Side Room, changed her expression instantly upon seeing the scene outside the window. She had never anticipated this, as it meant that Jiangbei would face the Wraith King's bloodbath tonight.

Even her.

It's impossible for them to survive.

They are certain to die.

Although the City Wall in the Core Area of the North River Chen Family is Level-3 City Wall, even a Level-3 City Wall cannot withstand the Wraith King for long.

How so!

Why would Wraith King come here to break through?

The Jiangbei Wasteland, Nameless Mountain.

"They've arrived."

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan calmly said in a low voice that he could sense that the Unmanned Outpost and Old Camp outside the Canyon were being rapidly destroyed and were quickly approaching the Canyon.

The Old Camp finally crumbled.

But so be it. The Rainy Season is over, and he won't need that Qualitative Transformation upgrade for the time being.

Only a few dozen breaths had passed.

He saw it.

He saw a Strange Entities resembling a human, clad in armor, emerge from the darkness of the Canyon, carrying a bone oil-paper umbrella, and slowly step into the area Camp Sinkhole shrouded in Eerie Fire.

One, two, three.

The number is increasing.

More and more Strange Entities, carrying bone oil-paper umbrellas, emerged from the darkness of the Canyon in a line.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly remembered the words written by Okra.

Suddenly, the sound of umbrella ribs echoed through the Heaven and Earth; Strange Tide rose from the wilderness, gradually forming ranks.

"It was an old friend who came through the rain; I met him but did not recognize his face, which was as white as snow."

A Wraith King has arrived.

There were no warning signs whatsoever.

He didn't even see the Wraith King appear, and there was no exchange of harsh words between the two sides.

The moment the Strange Entities stepped into the Camp.

The Level-5 Cannon Tower embedded in the City Wall were all lit up at once, and Blazing White Beam pierced through the rain, melting one Strange Entities after another. Chain lightning that kept surging outwards quickly slaughtered the Strange Entities that had entered the Sinkhole area.

The Level-3 City Wall at the Cave entrance slowly rose, officially entering the tortoise shell full defense mode.

Chen Fan and the others retreated from the City Wall.

Instead of following the Meat Grinder Passage to the high cliff to watch the battle, Chen Fan looked at the "Eternal Night Lord" panel Depths of the Soul. In recent days, he had built many level 3 Wooden Hut and chosen the "Shadow-Viewing Formation" upgrade path.

The Formation Disc was disassembled and hidden around the Sinkhole and the rock walls.

This is used as a surveillance tool.

The Canyon was shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't see the scene inside, but he could clearly see that the number of Strange Entities in the Sinkhole Canyon constantly increasing, and the eight "Level-5 Cannon Tower" on the City Wall were gradually becoming overwhelmed.

More and more Strange Entities swarmed to the base of the City Wall of Cave No. 1 and began to destroy City Wall.

"We haven't seen the Wraith King yet."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he had guessed, Thousand Lakes had sent back information about the Camp's layout before he died. In that case, the Wraith King should know about the Cannon Tower he had set up around the Sinkhole rock walls.

Out of caution, we have not yet entered the Sinkhole area.

Let's reveal a little bit first.

"Meat Grinder, stage one, start."

The next moment, the City Wall at the entrances of the 38 Cave high on the rock walls surrounding the Sinkhole disappeared, and the 38 level Level-5 Cannon Tower were activated simultaneously. City Wall at the junction of the Sinkhole and the Canyon instantly rose, completely separating the Sinkhole and the Canyon.

The Strange Entities within the Sinkhole turned into Rootless Water, and no more reinforcements came.

In an instant.

Beams of Blazing Pillar cascaded down from different angles and heights around the rock face, like a torrential downpour.

The rate at which the Strange Entities died accelerated rapidly.

But then!

"Boom!!"

A crimson burst exploded in the Canyon. He raised the Level-2 City Wall at the junction of the Sinkhole and the end of the Canyon. It only lasted for a few breaths before it completely collapsed and turned into rubble in the rainy night.

The Strange Entities within the Canyon surged into the Sinkhole once more like a tidal wave.

And in the midst of the Strange Tide.

The Wraith King, draped in a black Cloak, slowly walked into the Sinkhole, looked at the Level-3 City Wall of Cave No. 1, and then looked up at the Cannon Tower embedded in the rock walls around the Sinkhole. The Crimson Triangle in his pupils slowly rotated, and his voice, as cold as a thousand-year-old Han Bing, carried a chilling smile.

Is this your source of confidence?

"The little mouse hiding behind the City Wall."

The next moment!

The Crimson Triangle in the Wraith King's eyes suddenly accelerated its rotation, and beams of Crimson Beam shot out from his pupils, destroying most of the 38 level Level-5 Cannon Tower embedded in the City Wall in the blink of a Qiqi.

The Strange Entities surged past him like a tidal wave, rushing madly toward the City Wall.

The Wraith King looked towards the City Wall once more.

The Crimson Beam of light shot out continuously from the pupils. Each time the Crimson Beam struck the Level-3 City Wall, they created a crater nearly a meter deep, but it was quickly repaired.

"That's interesting."

The Wraith King laughed, "It's much sturdier than a typical Level-3 City Wall, and it also has a strong repair capability. But I wonder how many waves of my Strange Tide you can withstand?"

More and more Strange Entities rushed out of the Canyon and crashed into the City Wall.

"That's about it."

Hiding inside the Cave, Chen Fan glanced at the three Altar placed in the corner. He was worried that the supply of Altar would be insufficient when the Wraith King attacked, so he specially built two more Altar.

In hindsight, that decision was the right one.

Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to hold on.

However, the Eerie Stone were being consumed too quickly, and he couldn't hold out for long.

We need to take the initiative.

He took a deep breath, feeling the vibrations within the Cave, and looked up at the City Wall, his gaze seemingly meeting the eyes of the Wraith King through the City Wall, as he murmured softly.

"Meat Grinder, Second Phase, start."

The instant the sound faded.

The Cold-White Eerie Fire flowed rapidly along the Copper Pipe.

The 20 Eerie Fire buried underground in the Canyon Passage were lit almost simultaneously. The Wraith King seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked behind him, only to see the Thousand Meters- long Canyon that had been shrouded in darkness.

It was instantly lit up.

The light emitted by the Eerie Fire enveloped the Thousand Meters Canyon, illuminating numerous Strange Entities Canyon.
