Chapter 501: Conversation with the last king, Immortality from a foreign land knocks on the door (please subscribe and vote)
Outside the original imperial city, Shi Hao moved towards the city with firm steps. His forehead bones were still glowing, and he gradually approached the ancient city. There were many skeletons on the uneven ground, some of which were lifelike, making people wonder whether they were still alive.
There is life.
In an open space not far from the original imperial city, there was a pile of skeletons burning, like a fire, and the fire was light red. It could be vaguely seen that the skeleton area in the fire still had unburnt skin and flesh, and even half of it was
Make a face.
There are various runes locked around the fire. It is a Gedai magic circle that blocks the fire. This is an immortal magic circle, and the flesh and blood burned are naturally immortal creatures, comparable to the existence of true immortals.
Outside the original imperial city, there were many such fires. 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 there, how many... children?"
Yan Kuan led Shi Hao to the city gate. Looking up, he could see that there were still people in the city. Although it was very cold, quiet, and lacking in popularity, there were indeed people on the ancient city gate tower who were alive.
The creatures seemed to be several children.
Several children in ragged clothes, 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, and several more people came to see them.
Tall figures appeared, several old people.
These old people are very weak, as if they have been seriously injured and their roots are damaged. They are looking down with solemn expressions. They can be described as old, weak, sick and disabled. But it is these people who are fighting on the front line against foreign lands.
In the early years of this era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were very peaceful and were not threatened. It was because the Seven Kings of the Borderlands of the original imperial city stopped the troops from foreign lands that kept knocking at the pass, killed many immortal creatures, and suppressed the
The most important level.
These people, these old, weak, sick and disabled people in ragged clothes, these old people and children, they are holding up and blocking the front.
"Clansman?"
On top of the original imperial 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.
The sound of clansman made Shi Hao tremble in his heart. He felt a sour feeling in his heart and couldn't calm down. 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 suffering and suffering did they endure? Even children and frail old people climbed onto the city wall. I'm afraid most of the young and strong people died in the battle!
This is an isolated city with no one to support it. Even at the front, even the experts in the city cannot withstand such consumption.
Many people were guarding the city, and the strongest ones were naturally the Seven Kings of the Frontier. However, there were too many enemies and they could not retreat in a hundred battles. The place was dyed red with blood. In the end, women, children, the elderly, children, etc. all came to the city to guard together and participate in the process.
Bloody battle.
"senior!"
Shi Hao opened his mouth and looked up at the old, weak, sick and disabled people on the top of the city. He felt a sense of respect and a surge of emotion. He wanted to change everything.
On the city wall, dirty children looked down. They were as young as eight or nine years old and as old as fifteen or sixteen years old. They were unkempt and had wary eyes. Their faces were numb, and only there was a hint of curiosity deep in their eyes.
Staring 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, blood and ruthless fighting.
"Really, really an immortal? Are you from the immortal realm? Are you a reinforcement?"
The old man's gaze turned to Yan Kuan. Two beams of light flew out of his turbid old eyes, and he held a bronze battle ax in one arm. There was hope in his words. The original imperial city was too eager for reinforcements.
"I am not from the fairyland."
Yan Kuan spoke calmly, and the old man's eyes dimmed a lot.
Under Yan Kuan's instructions, Shi Hao stepped onto a three-foot-square bluestone under the city wall. It was very simple and there was nothing unusual about it.
But when Shi Hao went up, the bluestone instantly glowed, and a ball of fire enveloped Shi Hao. It swept through his veins, limbs, and bones, not even letting go of his soul.
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 an impersonation of a foreign and powerful creature."
The old man nodded, and many people on the city wall, including children, breathed a sigh of relief. This stone can be tested to see if it is a real Stone Tribe person.
"Please look up again."
The old man said cautiously, there was a bone mirror hanging on the city gate tower, which was very gentle. At this time, a ray of light shot down, straight into Shi Hao's sea of spiritual consciousness, and submerged into his soul. In the process, Shi Hao did not resist,
Wait quietly.
"The tribesmen are indeed tribesmen. They 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 Shitou, have a good chat with them."
Yan Kuan patted Shi Hao on the shoulder, and then retreated to the rear. 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.
Shortly after Yan Kuan left, a blue fire rose on the ground, like the fire of the netherworld, as if there was an air of immortality permeating the air, forming an insurmountable wall of fire. The one-armed old man suddenly appeared, activated his defense, and was alone
Get out.
"Immortal Lord, please come into the city."
After Yan Kuan waited for a while, the voice of the one-armed old man came from the flames at the city gate. After the exchange with Shi Hao, the old man completely let go of his guard. This was the first time in a long time that he brought someone in.
Yan Kuan stepped into the flames without hesitation. The immortal formation did not hurt him. A faint light flashed at the city gate, and the three of them disappeared from the place 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, and then they manifested themselves in the city.
"This is……"
They arrived at the center of the imperial city. There was a huge palace in front of them. The whole body was filled with light and fire, almost transparent. They could vaguely see several kings sitting cross-legged in the palace, burning their true bodies, igniting their bones, and releasing their essence and blessings from their flesh and blood.
This city.
"After the seven kings died in battle, they burned their bodies to bless the imperial city and are still guarding it."
The old man said very plainly, but it revealed too much sadness, helplessness, and sadness. The seven kings of the Borderlands, earth-shattering big shots, had such a sad end.
Someone was sobbing not far away. It was a child, skinny, short, with dirt on his face, wiping tears at the palace. The child's cry was very suppressed and direct, making people feel uncomfortable.
"The descendants of the Seven Kings are very pitiful now."
The one-armed old man 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."
The one-armed old man said that he would violate the orders of his ancestors, make an exception, and let these children live. This era has reached the end, and old guys like them can have a premonition that the original imperial city may not be able to hold on.
Some of these people had even been stationed here since the last era, so it would be fine to bury the children with them, but he couldn't bear it anymore.
"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 entire imperial city contains too much bitterness.
Shi Hao was in a heavy heart. He entered this ancient isolated city of Imperial Pass and learned many truths. It was difficult for him to smile and he felt very depressed. Moreover, the decisive battle was coming, and this place would be even more dangerous.
"The ancestors have an order! Besides, we can't leave now even if we want to."
The one-armed old man 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 life. This was the last moment.
The residence of a king.
Of the seven kings of the Borderlands, there is now the last king left. He has not shown his face for a long time. Is he really still alive? Even the people in the city don't know the details.
Unless there 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 Tianyuan.
"Meet the King!"
The one-armed old man saluted and worshiped the low mountain here with reverence and piety.
"Shi Hao has met the ancient ancestor!"
Shi Hao was also very serious and saluted here with respect.
Even Yan Kuan bowed slightly and saluted. No matter what, the seven kings are all heroic and respectable. They lead their respective tribesmen to fight here, never retreat, keep the enemy at bay, and protect them with blood and life.
Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The low mountain glows softly and peacefully, spreading outward.
"I know your intention, let the children go!"
These were the words the last king said to the one-armed old man. There was no pressure or energy fluctuations. Everything was so peaceful.
The one-armed old man's 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 of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands said this, sighing softly, as desolately as the withering yellow leaves falling. His voice sounded again, this time towards Shi Hao, with only two words, saying: "Alive!
"
This is an exhortation and a warning. When you reach a certain level, you can foresee many things.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you think when you come here?"
The last king spoke again, this time talking to Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan said calmly: "We are here for the future of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Fight outside and make peace within! First calm down this turmoil, and then take time to clean up everything in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and then find a way to deal with several people from the Immortal Realm.
Guys, gather all your strength to destroy the foreign land."
His voice echoed, and there was no response on the short mountain for a long time. The one-armed old man kneeling on the ground was stunned. He had stayed in the original imperial city long enough and knew a lot of secrets. Everything Yan Kuan said was true.
It's an earth-shattering event.
"This is difficult."
The last king in the short mountain finally spoke again.
Yan Kuan said solemnly: "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 the forces."
Destroy foreign lands.
Fellow Taoist, if you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos... You would really rather lead your descendants to a dead end than turn back and fight. You continue to sacrifice like this, but what you get in exchange is that the betrayers continue to grow.
As you develop, they will continue to persecute you and eventually cut off your descendants.
If they continue, they will eventually destroy the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths and Immortal Realm, and plunge the world into despair. Is this a result what you want to see!"
"well!"
The sigh of the last king came from the short 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, resulted in frame-up and betrayal. Among these internal fighters, there are many who have secret connections with foreign lands. Unless these people are dealt with completely, this group is eliminated, and a war against foreign lands will never be possible.
Ushering in a turning point.
"This action in the foreign land is to find clues about the origin of ancient artifacts. We can..."
Yan Kuan and the last king discussed a plan to snipe at a foreign land. This time he moved to a foreign land to find out some clues, and the location was in Suizhou.
The foreign land is much more united than the fairy land. The plans for the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands are all carried out at the same time. The immortal kings involved this time are all veteran immortal kings. The younger ones are only responsible for some marginal plans and will not take risks.
After all, Yan Kuan's training days are short. The most he can do now is to compete with some weaker immortal kings. Against those immortal kings who take risks, he has little chance of winning. But if he plans carefully, he can say that
Maybe he can kill a giant.
There are not many immortal kings in the foreign land. If one of them dies, it will be a big loss. Moreover, through the changes in the world caused by the death of the immortal king, the buffer between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the foreign land can be reorganized, integrating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for Yan Kuan, and returning the favor.
Have next plans to buy time.
"clang……"
Just as Yan Kuan and the others were discussing, the dull bell rang, and everyone in the original imperial city suddenly brightened their eyes, including the children, who also ran quickly and rushed to various parts of the city wall. They held various magic spells in their hands.
The device emits powerful fluctuations.
Shi Hao was shocked when he saw the figures running past one after another quickly. 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.
And nothing less.
Even children of a few years old appear to be extremely healthy. But children are still children after all. They hold weapons and they are just cultivating a sense of consciousness. What's more, there is really no one in the city, and the young and strong have all died in the battle.
"An enemy is invading!"
The one-armed old man shouted.
Yan Kuan nodded towards Ai Shan, and then teleported to the top of the city with the one-armed old man and Shi Hao. He saw that a layer of light curtain had risen to protect the entire ancient city. It was a light curtain formed by runes, which could block immortality.
attack.
A huge ferocious beast appeared, but it was not its true form. An immortal creature appeared through a corpse, targeting the ancient city. This was 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 stood in silence in some special areas on the city wall, holding magic weapons and silently offering runes to activate the sacred power.
"boom!"
The city wall seemed to be resurrected, glowing faintly, and then a huge sword light appeared and slashed forward, slashing at the ancient beast.
These children use special secret treasures that can resonate with walls and generate defensive runes and offensive and killing techniques.
However, after they urged them on, their little faces were all white and lacked blood, and soon some people sat down cross-legged, silently reciting sacrificial texts, and communicating with some "fires" in the city.
Those fires are very special, they are all skeletons, filled with immortal power. They are borrowing threads, wisps of divine light, to transmit them through magical instruments.
The skeleton of the immortal creature is locked by a special rune 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 sacrificed their lives together, rushed out with the flames of the bones of immortal creatures, and fought side by side with the king."
The one-armed old man said calmly, "This kind of thing is cruel and bloody. It's completely costing your life, but he said it so calmly."
"Calling on the power of the abyss will cost you even more."
The one-armed old man sighed, in that critical moment, when the Immortal King attacks, they can only fight like this.
