Chapter 712: Suffering the Backlash of Magic
The team of five people went straight to the core area.
They planned to enter the core area, see the situation clearly, and then consider what to do next.
As a result, before they reached the core area, they saw a huge magic array covering the entire core city area.
There was no flaw from the sky to the ground, and the thinnest part of the magic barrier had an energy shield with a thickness of nearly half a meter.
There were also dense magic cannons extending from everywhere, pointing to all directions!
"They actually activated the war fortress mode directly?" A trace of shock flashed in Jiadeli's eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised by this.
On weekdays, the core city and the outer city of the imperial capital are closely connected and can be regarded as one.
Once entering the war fortress mode, the core area of the empire has to be cut off from the outer city, which will not only affect the sewer system of the two.
The entire imperial capital's defense array, as well as other aspects, will be severely affected!
Some of the impacts are even irreversible, and these are costs, very high costs!
From the fact that the imperial family watched themselves being besieged and never turned on the war mode, we can see how high the cost is!
Unless it is necessary, the imperial family will never turn on the war fortress mode!
What happened?
Why did they choose to turn on the war fortress mode now?
Everyone looked at each other and realized that the situation was not simple. These foreign strongmen might be one of the main factors, but they were probably not the core reason!
With a loud bang--!
Thick smoke billowed from the palace in the center of the core area!
Watching the mushroom-like flames soaring into the sky, the highest height can reach 300 meters, and the diameter of all reached an astonishing degree of hundreds of meters!
The visible shock wave spread, large areas of buildings were directly flattened, and the energy barrier that had just been opened fluctuated and almost collapsed on the spot!
"This is..."
Everyone stared at this scene in amazement.
Even with their toes, they knew that something big must have happened to the imperial family.
Under such a violent explosion, the entire palace is estimated to have become a ruin.
"Could it be..."
All those who saw this scene had the same guess in their minds.
"The emperor has passed away?!"
When he thought of this, Su Chen felt goose bumps all over his body!
The emperor of the Yuantu Empire is a genuine eighth-level peak strongman, and the specific strength he can exert is definitely not inferior to that of a ninth-level strongman!
According to reliable intelligence, the imperial family of the empire has angel-level strongmen backing them up!
Such a powerful imperial family, such a powerful imperial emperor.
How could it be possible to pass away?
But if this is the case, why would the imperial family activate the war fortress mode?
Since the history of the Yuantu Empire, the imperial family has only activated the core area war fortress mode when they are on the verge of despair and almost perishing!
"No matter what happens, our goal has always been the Cemetery of the Gods, and this has never changed."
Su Chen's eyes were determined, and he forced himself to calm down and gave an order: "There was a big explosion, and the energy barrier was extremely unstable. This is a good opportunity for us!"
"Forcefully cut a hole in this protective array, and we will immediately go to the entrance of the Cemetery of the Gods!"
In an instant, Liu Zhenning, who was aware of his position in the team, took the initiative to rush forward, and the twelve flying swords took turns to fight, and within one hundredth of a second, they hit a point at the same time.
Dazzling sparks burst out, and with the surging power, the surrounding air became distorted.
The protective array fluctuated violently, and under the attack from both inside and outside, it finally couldn't hold on anymore, like a balloon filled with water that was punctured, and it suddenly burst!
It seemed that endless magic power spread to the surroundings, even squeezing and displacing the air, and the invisible roar was deafening, and an irregular gap about two meters high and half a meter wide appeared in front of everyone!
"Let's go!"
Su Chen rushed forward first, covered in golden light, and pushed away the violent magic power to create a safe and clean passage for his teammates behind him.
Team members entered the defense array one after another. When the last person came in, the energy barrier had stabilized. With the surge of magic power, it repaired itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The crowd did not stop and quickly moved towards the entrance of the Tomb of the Gods.
At the same time, many violent magic auras came from afar. There were many foreign strongmen who chose to attack the energy protection array in the core area at this time.
While moving forward, Su Chen looked out of the corner of his eye and saw the mysterious people who had helped the team some time ago. They also successfully broke through the energy barrier and entered the core area.
The other party seemed to feel the gaze and raised his head to look over. He was a handsome young man with a confident and high-spirited smile on his lips and nodded slightly.
Su Chen smiled back and shifted his attention to the front.
A deep purple space crack appeared at the location determined two days ago, right in the middle of an alley.
All the houses and buildings within a radius of dozens of meters were sucked into the crack, and the neat and tidy core area of the capital was devastated. A strong smell of the chaotic sea spread out from it.
"Is this the entrance to the cemetery of the gods?" Su Chen hesitated for a moment. The appearance of this thing was really different from what he expected.
The other people in the team were also suspicious, worried that someone was playing tricks in secret. It might not be the entrance to the Cemetery of the Gods, but a one-way passage to the Chaos Sea.
Once you enter it, you will be thrown directly out of the world. It will not be easy to come back at that time.
Maybe someone will want to take advantage of this and trick some impatient foreign warriors into the Chaos Sea.
In this way, the number of warriors who can successfully enter the Cemetery of the Gods will be much less, which may be a good thing.
Thinking of this, everyone's pace slowed down. They didn't want to be the first to step on the thunder in a hurry.
"Can we use divination magic to determine whether this space crack is the passage to the Cemetery of the Gods?" Su Chen stared at the space passage with a serious look and thought of a good way.
Jia Deli took out an ancient gold coin from her arms on the spot, gently threw it into the air, and then caught it with her hand.
When he opened it, the patterns on both sides of the ancient gold coin disappeared, and the front and back of the entire gold coin turned into a pure mirror.
The great magician's face suddenly changed, and he groaned in his throat, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"What's wrong?!" Reinhardt cast a healing magic without saying a word, looking surprised and doubtful.
Gardley waved her hand and said in a hoarse voice: "My divination failed. The existence behind this space crack is of extremely high standard, causing me to suffer the backlash of magic!"
