Chapter 329 May You Give Me Peaceful Sleep
The description of "Eternal Light and Blazing Sun" explained to Ryan the true face of the ancient god world.
Once, in Alola's mouth, the ancient gods were summoned by the dark race in an unknown way to help the dark race deal with the sun god race.
Now I know that it is not the case at all.
It is true that the ancient gods and the dark race are in the same camp, but the subordinate relationship is the other way around.
The ancient gods are the main ones, and the dark race is the auxiliary ones. The fundamental reason is that the "cold darkness" has been eroded by the power of the ancient gods unknowingly over the past thousand years and has gradually been controlled by the ancient gods.
At present, although the ancestor of the ancient gods is sealed in the center of the earth, he can control the "cold darkness" to a certain extent and create conditions for breaking the seal.
The situation of this world is gradually becoming clear.
Ryan also knows that if he wants to become the "top" of this world, he still needs to defeat two ninth-level beings.
Compared with the Monster Hunter World and the World of Gods, becoming the top of the ancient god world is more difficult than ever.
Fortunately, he has successfully solved the "Extremely Scorching Sun", and the remaining "Ice-cold Black Mist" and "Ancestor of the Ancient God" can be conquered one after another.
"Sir Zifeng..."
"Eternal Light Sun" lowered his head and looked at the human in front of him: "In this crisis, if it weren't for your help, my end would not be much better than 'Ice-cold Black Mist'."
"Although 'Extremely Scorching Sun' is dead, the power of the ancient god still remains in my body. Next, I will fall into a long sleep."
"This is for you..."
A red-gold mark flew out of the hand of "Eternal Light Sun" and fell in front of Ryan.
"This is the Sun Mark. If you need my help, you can use it. At that time, I will wake up from my sleep."
"I will repay this favor after I return to the Sun Star."
"This world is very dangerous, you must be careful..."
The voice of "Eternal Light Sun" gradually became low, and he sat cross-legged on the ground, beside him, was a dark gold spear inserted into the ground.
After taking the Fiery Sun Mark, Ryan nodded slightly, then turned around and walked away.
…
“Boom…”
With the violent tremor, the light of the teleportation array lit up and dimmed.
The Red Queen leaned against the wall, her face pale.
Fortunately, it was not the first time to teleport, and she was prepared, so she did not make a fool of herself again.
Ryan stood in the dim teleportation array, thought for a moment, and looked at the Red Queen beside him: "Next, I will go to find the "Cold Black Mist", do you know the specific location?"
The Red Queen shook her head slightly.
Just as the residence of "Eternal Light and Fiery Sun" is only known to the elders of the first generation, the location of "Cold Black Mist" is naturally impossible for outsiders to know.
Seeing this, Ryan nodded:
"I'll go to the Black Mist Clan."
"The Cruel Beast Master is dead, take me to the territories of the other two Black Mist Speakers."
The Red Queen nodded silently.
After leaving the Red Palace, Ryan first returned to Sanctuary City and asked about the progress of the transformation of Allura's Sun Mask.
Knowing that the transformation would be completed in about half a day, he did not say much, and led by the Red Queen, he went all the way to the distance.
...
"Among the three speakers of the Black Mist Clan, the Cruel Beast Lord ranks last in strength. The two speakers above it are called the Withered Insect King and the Dark Devouring Lord."
"Among them, the Withered Insect King specializes in the war route. His individual strength is slightly weaker than that of the Cruel Beast Lord, but with the elite withered insects under his command, he can easily suppress the Cruel Beast Lord. In fact, the black guards under the Cruel Beast Lord were made by the Cruel Beast Lord imitating the Withered Insect King."
"And the Dark Devouring Lord is the strongest one among the three Black Mist Clan members. At the same time, he is also the strongest one in the eighth level among the Black Mist Clan, the Sun God Clan, and the Ancient God. . "
"It can even be said that before I met you, Lord Dark Devourer was the number one person in my knowledge at the eighth level!"
"Well... he is still the number one person in the eighth level now, after all, you are the ninth level."
The Red Queen introduced Ryan while she was on her way:
"Among the three Black Mist Speakers, Lord Dark Devourer must know where the 'Ice Black Mist' is. "
"Not only because it is the strongest, but also because it is said that it and the 'Ice Black Mist' are brothers. "
"And the place I am taking you to now is the territory of Lord Dark Devourer. "
"Oh, such a high evaluation? " Ryan became interested.
Although the eighth level is not worth mentioning in his eyes now, it is definitely not a simple thing to be the number one in the eighth level, even if it is only the number one in the three tribes.
There must be an absolute extraordinary thing.
The Red Queen's words also answered his question: "The Dark Devourer Lord is a summoner."
"He can summon a clone of 'Cold Black Mist'. The eighth level summons part of the ninth level power. Isn't that the eighth level invincible?"
The Red Queen complained.
Hearing this, Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
There is nothing wrong with this.
The gap between the eighth level and the ninth level is so big that the number has completely lost its meaning.
In this case, the Dark Devourer Lord who can possess part of the ninth level power is the first of the eighth level.
But this is meaningless to Ryan.
After defeating "Extremely Scorching Sun", he upgraded again and his strength further increased.
Even if "Cold Black Mist" comes in person, who will win and who will lose will have to fight to know.
Although he defeated "Extremely Scorching Sun" in a one-on-one duel, Ryan did not feel complacent about it.
On the one hand, he was able to win because, although both sides were masters of skills, "Extremely Scorching Sun" was only the negative personality of "Eternal Light Sun" after all, unable to perfectly display the spearmanship beyond the realm, and naturally weaker in strength.
On the other hand, the special weapon used by the Red Queen at the beginning was not completely useless. Although it did not fall directly on the main body, it also weakened "Extremely Scorching Sun" by almost 10% in an indirect way.
The characteristics of "Ice Cold Black Mist" are unknown. Even if they are both ninth-level, they have to face each other to determine the winner.
"We're here, Lord Zifeng. The territory of the Dark Devouring Lord is ahead."
The Red Queen's voice sounded, and Ryan looked up.
At the end of the gray-black ground, a primitive but magnificent palace stood out.
Ryan held the Red Queen's shoulder with one hand, and the next moment, the two of them fell towards the palace like a silver meteorite falling from the sky.
He was cautious before because he was worried about being attacked by "Extremely Scorching Sun" and "Ice-cold Black Mist". There was no chance for Ryan to win against two ninth-level gods at the same time.
But now, "Extremely Scorching Sun" has been killed, and the ancestor of the ancient gods has been sealed deep in the earth's core. Only "Ice-cold Black Mist" is left. Naturally, he doesn't need to be cautious anymore.
Countless dark races noticed the arrival of the silver meteorite, but they couldn't stop it at all, and they had no time to stop it. They could only watch the silver meteorite fall accurately on the palace.
"Boom!"
The terrifying shock wave swept the entire royal city in an instant.
All buildings within dozens of kilometers were reduced to wreckage.
Ryan took the Red Queen and stood on a broken wall.
It must be said that the palace of the Dark Devouring Lord is relatively solid. Under such an impact, part of the wall can still be left.
Releasing the hand holding the Red Queen's shoulder, Ryan looked at the figure sitting quietly in the depths of the palace not far away.
The broken walls and ruins around it had no effect on it.
A layer of gray shield blocked the influence of the outside world.
Under Ryan's gaze, the gray barrier gradually dimmed and faded, revealing the true appearance inside.
The body of the Dark Devouring Lord is a mixture of human and beast, and the overall shape is similar to that of a leopard man, with a slender body and obviously good at bursting.
However, there are gray-black scales on its body.
Ryan took a step forward and came to the front of the Dark Devouring Lord in an instant.
To his surprise, the Dark Devouring Lord did not make any resistance.
Even when facing the ninth level, it should not be like this, unless it did not intend to resist at all.
The Dark Devouring Lord raised his head and looked up at Ryan in front of him.
It raised its hand, inserted it into its chest, and took out a dull beating black heart.
"Key... crush it... to enter... the cold nest..."
After taking out its heart, the Dark Devouring Lord's life breath dropped sharply, and it was obvious that he was about to die.
But its eyes were still calm.
"I have been waiting for this day... for a long time..."
"Unknown strong man... my brother... has been suffering for too long..."
"May you give him a good rest... so... it will not be in vain for my thousand years of waiting..."
At the end of the voice, the eyes of the Dark Devouring Lord gradually closed.
But only a second later, he opened again, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils.
The Dark Devouring Lord was dead, and the one who appeared at this moment was the Negative Dark Devouring Lord who was born by the erosion of the power of the ancient gods.
Before the Negative Dark Devouring Lord made any move, a hand had already fallen on its neck.
With the force of Ryan's hand, with a "click", the neck of the Negative Dark Devouring Lord was directly crushed, and thousands of sword qi chopped its body.
Ryan raised his left hand, held up the suspended black heart, and was slightly silent.
The Dark Devouring Lord knew that he would come, which was not beyond Ryan's expectations.
After all, he had just killed the Cruel Beast Lord not long ago. As the Speaker of the Black Mist, there must be a way to confirm the status between each other.
What Ryan did not expect was that after such a long time, the soul of the Dark Devourer Lord's true self still remained, and at the last moment, he suppressed his negative personality and took the initiative to hand over his heart.
And this heart is not only the key to open the location of the "Cold Black Mist" - the Cold Nest, but also the request of the Dark Devourer Lord.
It longs for its brother to be "saved" and get rid of the abyss of endless pain.
In this way, the state of the "Cold Black Mist" is much worse than the "Extremely Scorching Sun".
"..." The Red Queen looked at the dead Dark Devourer Lord with a complicated look and a sense of empathy.
If she were in the other place, if her special weapon still couldn't save her brother in the end, she would probably make the same choice as the Dark Devourer Lord.
The difference is that she is more fortunate. When the "Eternal Light Sun" can still hold on, she met Lord Zifeng.
But it was too late for the Dark Devourer Lord...
"Find a place to wait for me."
Ryan's voice overwhelmed the Red Queen's thoughts.
She was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded.
Unlike the previous battle against "Extremely Scorching Sun", this time, she no longer needed her secret weapon, and naturally, she did not need to risk entering the palace of the ninth-level existence.
Ryan raised his hand and crushed the dark heart.
The light particles with a little blue in the gray and black suddenly spread out, but soon gathered together to form a vertical elliptical space portal.
This is the entrance to the cold nest.
Ryan stepped into it.
The Red Queen looked at Ryan's disappearing back, hesitated for a moment, and came to the entrance to sit down.
…
The extremely cold wind blew in his face, mixed with fine ice particles.
The long-lost feeling of coldness made Ryan's eyes nostalgic.
He remembered the scene when he first arrived at the Everfrozen Continent in the Monster Hunter World.
At that time, he could only resist the wind and snow that eroded his vitality.
Now, this extremely cold ice and snow formed by the dissipation of the ninth-level power can not only erode vitality, but also the soul, but for Ryan, it is no longer a threat.
The Cold Nest, as the name suggests, is a special world composed of ice and snow.
Looking into the distance, a faint black fog permeated, and the deeper it went, the thicker the black fog.
Indistinctly, you can see that in the depths of the black fog, there is a special basin composed of a glacier of ten thousand feet.
Ryan took a step and moved forward slowly.
Soon, he came to the top of the Wanren Basin.
A sharp edge flashed in his pupils, and countless sword energy spread out. The world of swords descended, dispelling all the black fog that enveloped this place.
Ryan looked down.
In the central area of the Wanren Glacier, there was a throne made of ice crystals, on which sat a thin figure who looked similar to the Dark Devouring Lord, but with a frost scepter beside him.
His figure was extremely thin. His exposed upper body showed clear ribs, like a withered, dying old man.
But the power shrouded him was extremely strong, especially as time went by, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
The "cold black fog" on the ice crystal throne slowly opened its eyes.
He looked at Ryan and did not act immediately, but said calmly:
"Novard finally made a decision..."
"In fact, I already knew what he was thinking, but I was awake for too short a time and could not do anything..."
"I was expelled from the Everfreeze Star, and my strength gradually declined. I must find enough world sources for myself and Novard before falling to the ninth level."
"And this world is my last chance."
"It's just..."
"Fate is unpredictable."
"Cold Black Mist" slowly stood up from the ice crystal throne, raised his head, and stared at Ryan above:
"Human strongman, tell me your name."
"Purple Wind."
"Then, Mr. Purple Wind, please fight with all your strength next. If you win, I will give you a gift that will satisfy you."
"But if you die in battle..."
"Cold Black Mist"'s eyes faded and began to turn blood red, which meant that the negative ancient god soul suppressed by him regained the upper hand: "Then, fall into the ancient abyss!"
