It truly pierced the sky—the void was pierced, leaving behind an ancient cauldron mark, with a web-like crack covering the sky.
Normally, no matter what kind of wound, the Heavenly Dao would heal itself, but this time was different—its ability to repair seemed to weaken.
The spider web cracks stretched ten thousand li, showing no change or signs of recovery. Looking at that huge crack, people couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.
"Long Chen!"
Yu Qingxuan rushed over, but Long Chen had already lost consciousness, falling from the air and caught tightly by Yu Qingxuan.
Long Chen was covered in blood, his eyes tightly shut. Below his left eye was black bloodstains, mixed with the aura of hell, making people feel terrified.
But Yu Qingxuan didn't care at all. She held Long Chen tightly, and when she sensed Long Chen's soul power still lingering, tears streamed down her face again—Long Chen was still alive.
A slender jade hand touched Long Chen's forehead—it was Dongming Yu arriving. Dongming Yu's face was full of worry. Although Long Chen's soul power remained, its fluctuations were extremely chaotic. Most importantly, within his soul power, an evil force was extremely active.
"Master..." Dongming Yu looked to Ye Wusheng for help.
Ye Wusheng looked at Long Chen for a moment before saying, "He's fine, but the power of hell is probably not so easy to control. He used his eye technique to harness the power of hell and destroyed the hell envoy, but he himself will pay a certain price."
As for the price, only later will we know. He has been tainted by the Underworld Emperor's karma, and no one knows what the future holds. Xiaoyu, let's go! "
Master, I want to ..." Dongmingyu looked at the unconscious Long Chen, her face full of reluctance.
"There are plenty of chances to meet. I promised you: if you personally kill Enpuda, I'll hand over all the mantle and bowl to you.
Rather than wasting time here, it was better to return and cultivate more often, seeking a longer reunion in the future. Ye Wusheng said, taking Dongming Yu's hand and walking off into the distance.
Dongming Yu was pulled away, glancing back every few steps, her gaze heartbreaking, but in the end, she chose to obey her master's words.
Suddenly, Ye Wusheng stopped, turned his head to look at everyone, and said, "When Long Chen wakes up, tell him to leave Ziyan Heaven immediately."
Soon, a large number of powerful figures will come looking for Long Chen, and there will even be beings on the same level as me. As
she spoke, she pointed to the void above and said to Yu Xiaoyun, "This hole won't heal unless it's taken a thousand years."
If the Heavenly Wall is broken, chaotic energy will overflow. If you want your ancient heroic spirits to become stronger, you must empower the grand formation at all costs. Otherwise, if you miss the chance, the Vermilion Bird Empire will cease to exist. "
Thank you, senior,"
Yu Xiaoyun hurriedly bowed. He knew this short-haired woman had an astonishing background.
Ye Wusheng waved his hand slightly, didn't look back, and held Dongming Yu's hand. As they walked, they vanished into the void. No one knew how they had vanished.
In front of Ye Wusheng, the Three Flowers-level Earth Venerable experts were like ants, only able to look up at them. This was the first time the experts present had encountered such a terrifying presence.
"Activate the grand formation, devote all resources to the formation, and accelerate the revival of the Vermilion Bird formation." After Ye Wusheng left, Yu Xiaoyun shouted loudly.
Ye Wusheng was Dongmingyu's master, and Dongmingyu was Long Chen's confidante. Ye Wusheng would never lie to them. Yu Xiaoyun didn't dare be negligent and immediately did as she said.
"Rumble rumble rumble...
As the grand formation activated, the dim imperial city lit up again. At the same time, divine lights shot out from the entire border of the Vermilion Bird Empire, piercing the sky.
"Those damaged grand formations have actually been restored?" Yu Qianxue and the others couldn't help but feel both surprised and delighted. After all, when they returned, they had seen with their own eyes the city's grand formation—it had all been destroyed.
"What they destroyed was nothing but a fake grand formation, a deliberate attempt to confuse them. Originally, I intended to capture all intruders in one fell swoop and eliminate future troubles forever.
But unexpectedly, they summoned the Gate of Flame Void and the Gate of Hell. If not for Long Chen, we would have been utterly defeated. Yu Xiaoyun sighed.
Originally, according to Yu Xiaoyun's plan, it was just an attack from the Eight Great Empires. He was absolutely confident that they would never return.
The strongest move of the Vermilion Bird Formation did not erupt. If it did, it would annihilate all enemies. However, if it did, the Vermilion Bird Empire would be severely weakened.
But even if his strength was severely weakened, he could still sweep away powerful enemies and bring countless years of peace, which was worth it.
However, this strongest move was never used in the end, because the power of hell suppressed the Vermilion Bird heroic spirit. The power of the Vermilion Bird might be able to counter the power of Yanxu, but against the power of hell, it was powerless.
Long Chen not only saved Yu Qingxuan, but also saved the entire Vermilion Bird Empire, saving countless lives.
Yu Xiaoyun shouted, "Yunwen, Yifeng, Qianxue, Zi'ang, Fengyi, Qiwen, Xuefeng, you eight lead eight squads and attack the eight great empires separately."
They sealed off all their city treasures and told them that from now on, the Eight Great Empires would be erased, and all their territories would belong to the Vermilion Bird Empire.
If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are needed. There is no reason, and only the blood-stained weapons in their hands speak. "
Yes,"
everyone responded loudly, all holding back their anger. This time was too dangerous. Without Long Chen, no one in the Vermilion Bird Empire would have survived.
Naturally, they would not show courtesy to the enemy, nor would they show them the slightest sympathy. Zhu Yunwen and the others knew that Yu Xiaoyun had them lead the team out of recognition of their performance in war.
The eight led the elite of the Vermilion Bird Empire in a rapid charge against the Eight Great Empires. The powerful warriors of the Eight Great Empires had been completely wiped out, and facing them, they had no strength to resist, not even daring to resist. The major city lords surrendered their cities one after another to save their lives.
The Vermilion Bird Empire conquered the eight great empires almost without bloodshed. Although they encountered some resistance, in the face of overwhelming power, those resistance were instantly destroyed, and all the rebels were killed, leaving no survivors.
All the treasuries of the eight great empires' cities were confiscated, countless resources flowed into the Vermilion Bird Empire, and it immediately became busy.
Countless craftsmen began to empower the grand formation. Just as Ye Wusheng said, when the formation reached a certain level, traces of chaotic energy surged in from the void cracks like shattered glass, absorbed by the Vermilion Bird Grand Array.
Yu Xiaoyun and the others were overjoyed. This chaotic energy was a great tonic for the Vermilion Bird heroic spirits. The stronger the Vermilion Bird heroic spirit, the more confident they became. If they could truly absorb a thousand years, then the Vermilion Bird Empire would fear no powerful opponent.
While the entire Vermilion Bird Empire was caught in busyness, Long Chen was engulfed in endless darkness.
In the darkness, there was not a sound, not a shred of light—only deathly silence.
But in this darkness, Long Chen felt neither a trace of tension nor fear. Here, he felt peaceful and warm, full of security. Just as he said, at his most exhausted and helpless moments, the darkness embraced him, sympathized with him, comforted him.
"Long Chen, the great successor of the Nine Stars, we can finally get in touch again." It's right in the dragonChen was immersed in darkness when an aged voice rang out—the familiar voice appeared again.
