Chapter 911 The Supreme Art (Please Vote for the First Month of the Month!)
The Nanling Mountains are towering and continuous, running through the extreme south of the Terra Continent, with countless majestic peaks and ridges emerging from it. It is like a strong and powerful arm, protecting the most beautiful submountain plain area in the entire Nanling Province. .
And above Terra, there is another majestic mountain range called Absalom, and a major bloodline in the Flying Flame Land is named after it.
The people of the Feiyan Land once believed that this was their mother mountain range, which blocked the invasion of barbarians and many magical beasts in the mountain range, and also blocked the prying eyes of the empire.
But after hundreds of years of stability, the people of Feiyan discovered that this former mother mountain range not only blocked the intrusion of others, but also blocked their own steps to go out.
And... it's not just that.
The Absalom bloodline, which originally dominated the entire Flying Flame Land, was trapped inside the Flying Flame Land with no exit. It could only sit back and watch as the Nirmasas bloodline, which controlled the desert trade routes in the Far Flame Land, continued to grow, and even turned against them. He came to surpass them and became the leader of Feiyan Land.
But there are pros and cons to trade routes. The benefits are obvious, but the drawback is that if a foreign enemy invades, the Nirmathas bloodline will be the first to suffer.
This is why Deathstroke's hometown was prosperous, and even the big boys in the countryside could play in the fields and gardens with their beloved girls without any worries. This is also why his hometown was so prosperous in the first wave of the Empire and the Flying Fire Land. During the conflict, it was completely destroyed by air strikes.
Deathstroke still doesn't understand this truth. He only knows that it was the Empire who killed all his relatives, it was the Empire that destroyed his peaceful and beautiful life, and it was the Empire that made him become a devil.
He will never forgive, never stop his revenge.
But now, just as he was completing his revenge, someone stood in his way.
Ian Silverpeak...the prophet.
The miraculous predicted sky fire, the mechanized troops of the previous era that are beginning to take shape, the people of Nanling who are united... This kind of scene has begun to make people feel uneasy. This is the embryonic form of another renaissance of the empire.
Why do the empire always have such amazing and talented people? Whether it's the Black Sun, the Guardians of the Land, or the prophets of this generation...each of them seems to be able to suppress an era.
Therefore, it must be eliminated!
We must completely eliminate the opponent at the budding stage, before the opponent has grown up, and before the opponent reaches the point where it cannot be contained!
Just...now!
Deathstroke opened three eyes, and the third eye was located above his left eye. It was the vertical pupil of a dragon, shining with a cold and ruthless golden-red light, shining like the center of the earth and as scarlet as blood.
Abyss Armor·Death Knell has been integrated with him, and the demon born in his hometown is himself. He is one of the original fusion demons and a test subject of Abyss Fire.
A heartbeat like thunder is resounding from this body, and the terrifying vitality and spiritual reaction comparable to that of a giant dragon are burning in the body of the great demon. When the death knell opens his eyes and roars, it is extremely terrifying, and the substantial oscillating sound waves begin. It presents an ever-expanding concentric circle, spreading in all directions.
boom! ! !
This white shock wave visible to the naked eye swept across the world. Whether it was the smoke and dust caused by the falling meteorites or the distorted phenomena caused by the interference of the virtual realm, everything was swept away. This was enough to turn steel into dust and sweep across everything. , and even pressed a huge crater out of the ground below.
This is the 'death knell' - the end that gives all things equality, the power of destruction that makes everything fall to pieces!
At this moment,
The entire Nanling Province, whether it is the monsters dormant in the mountains or the sublimated ones stationed in major cities, all feel an extreme crisis. Even the beast kings in the Baisen Mountains and the subordinates of the mountain king couldn't help but feel a shudder. It was the most primitive fear, the self-destruction factor created by all things on their own, and the fear of the "Big One". The fear of monsters.
And this terrifying fluctuation not only spreads in Nanling, but also spreads throughout the virtual realm with a magnitude that transcends time and space.
[Is there really a fourth-level demon among the demon army in the Flying Flame Land? 】
Da Xue Ding, who has not yet left Nanling, but stayed here for the reason of 'academic exchange', shook his tail. The red killer whale looked in the direction of the golden plain with some surprise: [No, it was originally just The peak of the third level... But the terrifying soul force forced him to the fourth level... This is because this big demon has good enough foundation and is crazy enough. Otherwise, the result will only be that he completely becomes a 'breeding evil' 】
The so-called evil spirits are evil monsters that have completely lost their minds and have no wisdom but pure power. This kind of monster is also recorded in the silver chip. It is said that the void breeder is naturally generated in the universe and is a natural breeder built from the infinite despair of all life in the universe itself.
But obviously, Deathstroke has crossed the most difficult dividing line for the demon. With the power of absorbing all the souls after most of the demon army was destroyed, he has suddenly crossed the boundary of the third energy level and completely become He became the leader of the great demons, the true fourth level.
"The fourth energy level appears in the demon army of Flying Flame Land."
In the imperial capital, Mo Ze, the director of the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge, squinted his eyes. His psychic power, the 'Seal of Omen', had already planted a secret in Nanling, and he saw all of Ian's operations throughout the process.
But even so, when he saw the sky fire, the experienced old dean couldn't help but raise his brows, feeling surprised and incredible.
According to his original vision, both the Western and Southern Ridges as 'sacrifice' would be shattered - and the original Western and Southern noble groups would also be shattered and put under direct control in the subsequent reconstruction work hosted by the Imperial Capital. , was completely controlled by the imperial capital, and then launched a new round of modernization reforms.
But now, Ian has not only launched information transformation in Nanling, but also subdued all Nanling nobles with the army of demons. He has even created a mechanical army, a product of pre-era civilization - it seems that this little The inheritance in this guy's hands is beyond imagination, and even the late emperor's hands don't seem to be so complete.
Even the Demon Army, the extraordinary army of Flying Flame Land, was actually unable to win, and was even forced to use its last trump card.
The fourth-level demon catalyzed by the power of the entire legion... This is already beyond the dangerous red line, and it is definitely not an opponent that Nanling can theoretically deal with.
Theoretically speaking, at this time in the imperial capital, the Fengxiang Knights stationed in the central plain should be dispatched to directly obliterate this fourth-level demon.
but……
"Interesting." Narrowing his eyes, a dark purple halo lit up in his eyes, Dean Moze stared at Nanling with a smile: "It seems that our prophet has expected it - he wants to deal with this fourth party head-on. A powerful demon?"
"Let's see. Let me see...whether you can be like your senior brother Mahdi, with potential beyond our imagination!"
Nanling.
Witnessing the birth of a fourth-level demon, Ian showed no signs of surprise.
From the beginning, he knew that Deathstroke was very strong, a strong third-level person who could rely on the power of the demon army to exert the power of the fourth level. Since this was the case, his plan had always been based on this.
Deathstroke's advancement to the fourth level is nothing more than becoming a little stronger, and it doesn't exceed Ian's plan... Okay, maybe a little more, but it's not a big problem.
(Heart of Terra, can’t you snatch the souls of these dead demons?)
In his mind, Ian communicated directly with the Heart of Terra. He could see that the demonization of Deathstroke at this moment was entirely due to the gathering of souls of the demon army. If he could intercept it, it would not only enrich the power of the Heart of Terra, but also It can weaken the enemy.
But the feedback sent back by the Heart of Terra is very simple - if it is in the Silver Peak Territory, maybe it can be tried. The signal at the edge of the South Ridge is too poor, and its support for Ian is already at its limit, and it can no longer be done with more.
Moreover, there seems to be a vague connection between the devil's souls...
"Interesting, is there any secret hand?" Ian narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Death Knell, which had completely transformed into a three-eyed dragon-winged demon, was suspended in the air, surrounded by dark subspace flames. It looked down at the earth indifferently, and looked at each other with the elf Ian.
At this moment, Deathstroke was quite confused.
Because, in its sublimated 'spiritual vision', Ian's soul is not a fairy at all...but a vast, almost borderless...darkness.
This darkness is like a black hole, as if it wants to absorb all the light, but it is originally light, because there are thousands of silver-blue light spots on this dark curtain, which are dazzling.
This is something that life on Terra cannot understand. It is called the starry sky. It is cold and ruthless, empty and void. The environment is almost like hell. While it swallows up dreams, it also contains all hopes and futures. It is this The most contradictory thing in the world.
In Ian's eyes, the demon in front of him was a blazing flame called anger and destruction.
It is about refusing the death of family members and refusing the death of loved ones, but having to face the despair of burning their bones, which derives from the desire to crush everything and the entire reality. That terrifying vibration is not just a sound wave in nature, but a destruction that shakes the world and shatters everything!
And now, this fire of hatred that destroys everything, wrapped in thunder, rushes straight towards him!
[Die, prophet! 】
At this moment, the large dust clouds that were originally formed over the Nanling Mountains due to the rising dust dispersed, and a super giant circular shock wave visible to the naked eye spread across the entire sky. In an instant, it reached the plain below the mountain at sunset. illuminated by the dim light of dusk.
Deathstroke was holding a flaming sword in his hand at the moment. All the dust and gravel within a kilometer radius were ignited by his 'shock psychic energy' to accelerate molecular vibration and turned into lava steam. For a moment, he was like It is a fire dragon that controls the flames. It is surrounded by a golden-red terrifying flame tornado. Anything that enters it will be completely shattered and turned into complete crumbs.
But now, as the death knell raised his sword to hit Ian, the entire flame tornado made a loud sound like a mountain collapsing, like a super giant fire sword hitting the goblin head-on.
With this move alone, Deathstroke's strength is worthy of the name of the fourth level. It is a real humanoid natural disaster. It may not take a few rounds to destroy the entire city.
Ian was not stupid, he immediately pulled back and used the goblin's super high mobility to retreat and avoid the blow.
The flame tornado crashed to the ground, and a giant trench with a width of 100 meters suddenly appeared on the ground. Countless lava steam rolled upward crazily, mixed with the subspace power of the death knell, forming a large field of flames.
This is the power of the 'big devil'. It can use destructive actions to spread the 'subspace' in one's body, forming a field that is extremely beneficial to oneself.
Ian, who retreated rapidly, was also involved in this field. The continuously rolling metal lava steam, flying gravel and restless high-temperature airflow engulfed the little goblin. Looking around, everything was golden and red.
But this did not avoid Ian's perception. Having entered the 'Heart of Terra' state, a silver lightning flashed in front of his eyes. He quickly sensed the handle coming from behind on his right side. Silently crush the magic sword.
This Smashing Demonic Sword is not an entity in nature, but a shock wave created by Deathstroke using his spiritual energy. It is similar to a lightsaber, intangible and massless, but it can cut and smash anything, even the strongest. Of steel, there is no point in facing it.
Deathstroke's first blow after advancing to the fourth level seemed earth-shattering, but he also knew that he was not confident enough to hit Ian with one blow, so he only used it to force Ian to move and make the real killing move. , but this attack is a sneak attack in one's own territory.
And he also believes that even if Ian is a crisis prophet, there is absolutely no way he can predict this situation!
He was right, Ian really couldn't predict this kind of thing... But the Heart of Terra can enhance Ian's perception and let him detect the true identity of Deathstroke!
In response, Ian just held it with his backhand and took out an ice sword from the void.
Although the long sword in Elf Ian's hand is only two feet short, it is equally strong. Since Deathstroke used 'accelerated molecular vibration' to create this flaming magic sword that destroyed everything, then he also used the power of the ice source to solidify the molecules and create an ice sword that would never be destroyed!
Two swords, one large and one small, collided, causing a loud explosion that shocked the mountains. The surrounding lava steam clouds instantly spread away, revealing two figures fighting swords.
Ian knew he could not win the moment he faced the sword. Deathstroke broke through before the battle. After advancing to the fourth level, he may not have had time to master the abilities that the fourth level should have, but he has completely surpassed him in terms of instantaneous power. The upper limit of the third energy level, even if you don't move the Fortress body and activate the Dragon Heart Core, it is only at this level. Even if the fairy body is blessed with the Heart of Terra, it is completely unable to withstand it head-on.
However, perhaps because Deathstroke was just an ordinary person before, and the so-called martial arts were learned later, without a good foundation, Deathstroke's swordsmanship can only be "brutal" and "quick", but not "skillful" and "sharp" .
Although Ian has only practiced martial arts for less than half as long as Deathstroke, he is a well-deserved genius and has an extremely solid foundation. He immediately used a clever sword-holding technique to divert Deathstroke's sword power.
Swordsmanship in the world of Terra is more of a discipline than a skill. Each sword path will be efficiently calculated in order to use the most stable power at the most appropriate time to kill the enemy most effectively. .
Whether it's stabbing, slashing, or blocking with hooks, those who are proficient in swordsmanship can do anything.
Deathstroke drew his sword several times, and every time he felt that his flaming sword was going to shatter Ian's ice sword, he actually lost the ability to follow up on Ian's sword in the middle, and Ian would strike across the spine of the sword. , or press the hilt of the sword to prevent Deathstroke from exerting any force. In general, he just doesn't confront Deathstroke head-on.
Not only that, every time Deathstroke made a mistake in his attack, he would immediately approach with his moving body, use his swift sword to aim at the area where it was exposed outside the armor, and draw his sword to stab it!
If other people's swordsmanship is just ordinary skills, then Ian's swordsmanship can be called the 'supreme art'!
For a moment, it was clear that Deathstroke had the upper hand, but it was Ian who forced him back, and his sword power was scattered.
Many Nanling people who were still watching the live broadcast through Ian's vision shouted. They had seen the death knell advanced before, and it seemed to be terrifying and threatening to destroy the world. They had already felt high in their hearts, but now they saw it. That terrible natural disaster demon was actually suppressed by Earl Yinfeng. Naturally, he became energetic again and started to cheer.
But in fact, Ian himself secretly had something bad in his mind: Although Deathstroke was forced back by him, he did not panic. Instead, he relied on his faster reaction speed and body control ability after his advancement to defeat Yi with force. En's sword power.
It can even be said that the reason why Ian was able to force the opponent back was because Deathstroke knew his own weaknesses, so he deliberately lost his way and observed Ian's sword movement.
Sure enough, Deathstroke's swordsmanship became more and more methodical, and his several counterattacks became more and more fierce. This time, it was Ian's turn to feel that the sword in his hand was unstable and even about to break.
Fortunately, Ian also took this time to observe the situation of Deathstroke.
【Death Knell】
[Fourth Energy Level·Demon Lord·Core·Inedible]
[The natural fusion demon strengthened by the technology of Flying Flame Abyss has some characteristics of 'Lord' and 'Death Lord'. It can draw power from the souls of the demons under it. When the demon under him dies, the soul is first transferred to the demon lord. Absorb it and turn it into part of its power]
[Having extremely strong spiritual abilities, he can move freely in the virtual reality, and can even pull a piece of the material world into the depths of the virtual subspace and build his own 'abyss'. However, due to the transformation of Feiyan Land, after the fused demon advanced to the fourth energy level, the domain was naturally merged into the Cursed Earth and turned into the ‘Curse Earth Abyss’]
[Natural fusion demons rarely appear in nature, and the probability is one in 570 million. However, once successful, fusion demons are stronger than ordinary real demons, because they actually do demonic things with human hearts. Far more crazy and terrifying than the original demon, more persistent and determined]
[Contains the essence: 1459126.7833 core essence unit]
[Warning: This individual is in a special state and is extremely dangerous! 】
【……】
Are feelings encountered by oneself or rare individuals? No wonder the opponent was able to break through and upgrade on the spot. To be honest, Ian felt a little resentful. He himself hadn't upgraded a few times before the battle. How come the enemies knew all of them?
Forget it, the prophet never does anything uncertain. If possible, Ian really wants to crush him after reaching the fifth level.
As for now... enough time has passed!
Bang!
There was a shattering sound, and the ice sword in Ian's hand shattered. Deathstroke's concussive psychic energy finally defeated Ian in the Heart of Terra state. There was nothing in the goblin's hand at the moment.
【good! 】
Deathstroke roared angrily, and the flaming sword in his hand was about to hit the petite goblin in front of him... But suddenly, its body paused slightly, and then, his entire head was enveloped in translucent red psychic flames!
The moment he saw the psychic flames, Ian knew that Xio's true dragon body had arrived. Sure enough, a dragon roar sounded in the sky, and then quickly disappeared.
Xio escaped into the virtual realm, waiting for the next opportunity to take action.
[True dragon...damn it...didn't you say stay neutral? ! 】
Feiyandi obviously knows the information about Xiou, but they don't know that Xiou has voluntarily given up his neutral status on Long Island, joined the Silver Peak Leader, and became part of the Silver Peak Leader. Of course, he can declare war on them.
[Shameless imperial people! Shameless real dragon! We clearly agreed to remain neutral, so why didn't we protect us instead of protecting these Imperial people? ? 】
The devil's anger was raised again, and this time, it built an impenetrable defense around its soul, and the dark mist surrounded it like a shield.
But not long after the action started, the pace of Death Knell slowed down again.
Because it saw other people.
Four figures were coming from all directions.
Elder Manya, Marquis Barton, Viscount Grant, Xio's true form...the four strong men, some of whom were driving ether weapons, and some of whom were carrying the most powerful accessories and weapons, joined Ian to kill the death knell without any martial virtue. Surrounded.
In the virtual realm, there is also a looming giant of light approaching, with red light flashing on its chest.
