Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 169 The gap between the worlds, the ice floes of time and space

Qiyun City was the second large city in Yuanzhou during the Zhou Dynasty besides Yuanzhou City.

Three feudal gods and demons and two fourth-level demon kings guard the city. Nowadays, the guarding gods and demons often change their defenses, often every few months.

"The fourth-level demon kings have become much quieter in the past six months..."

"Haha, there are only more than 200 fourth-level demon kings who escaped the control of the 'Sword Master' three years ago and sneaked in from Chiyang Pass. In the past few years, they have lost less than half during the encirclement and tracking battles. The remaining Most of them are hiding in the Demon Saint’s cave, so how can they still have the courage to attack the city?”

"Oh, I'm not just trying to make some merit and lighten the punishment for my incompetent descendants. Jianhe... The sword master sacrificed a lot for the human race, but he was also too strict with us and other gods and demons. Instead of tracking down the Heavenly Demon Sect and Demon Kings, the Internet Gods and Demons now clean up the interior every year..."

"Haha, I have written a letter to warn the family's descendants a long time ago. If anything happens again, it will not be blamed on me. Besides, this is nothing. Even Two Worlds Island used the excuse of protecting civilians to not only abolish slaves, but also deprive many gods and demons. The territory was returned to the direct control of the Dai Viet Dynasty."

"Half of the hundreds of fourth-level demon kings under the Sword Master are in the Dayue Dynasty to share the pressure of defending the city for them and monitor the entrance to the medium-sized world. How can they have the capital to refuse the Sword Master's request? Huh? Another demon king is attacking the city! How come there are so many?”

"kill!"

The three feudal gods and demons all shrank to within fifty miles from the city wall in different directions, releasing threads of true energy that crossed the city wall and harvested the lives of the third-level demon kings.

'Iron Stone Beasts' with the peak combat power of the Great Sun Realm and poisonous insects with the same combat power of the Great Sun Realm also crawled out from the four city walls to greet the third level demon kings.

These poisonous insects are controlled by the six 'Ten Thousand Poison Demonic Bodies' Great Sun Realm gods and demons who guard them.

Suddenly, a black-robed figure appeared high in the sky, with cold eyes, and rushed down.

"Fifth Level Demon King?"

The three feudal lords, gods and demons were shocked.

Two ferocious roars followed, and two huge fourth-level demon kings sprang out from the ground and faced the black-robed figure.

The Beijue Demon Saint, who was dressed in black robes, sneered and swayed, and three figures actually appeared. One figure pounced on the gray-haired old man, and the other two figures pounced on the remaining two lord gods and demons. and two fourth level celestial demon kings.

"Clone? Or phantom?!"

When they met the black-robed figure, the three gods and demons felt chilled. It turned out to be not a phantom!

The three demon kings and the two demon kings were instantly at a disadvantage, and they all used the forbidden magic of gods and demons and began to fight tooth and nail.

"Be careful of illusions!"

After a while, a feudal lord god and demon and a fourth-level demon king fell down, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

The only remaining fourth-level celestial fox demon raised its head to the sky and let out a roar, directly burning its soul and casting its magic power.

The three black-robed figures actually froze for a breath, and the other two feudal lords, gods and demons took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.

"Damn it!" Beijue Demon Saint looked at the fourth-level celestial fox demon that had lost all its vitality after blocking it with a desperate blow, and was extremely angry in his heart: "King of Sword River!!"

Beijue Demon Saint was about to continue the pursuit when he suddenly raised his head and saw a bolt of thunder suddenly coming, and a stream of light appearing in the sky in the distance to the north.

"Dongning Hou Mengchuan! And the Donghe King guarding Yuanzhou City? You can't come too soon!"

Three black-robed figures turned into one, swooping down without hesitation and drilling into the ground. Only one voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"Tell King Jianhe! Today is just the beginning. The fourth-level demon kings under his control will be killed one by one! The human gods and demons will also be buried with them!"

Meng Chuan's face looked ugly, and he searched all directions in the field of thunder and magnetism, but he did not dare to get into the ground.

"It's definitely not an ordinary fifth-level demon king! Could it be the Beijue Demon Saint? Has it returned to the fifth-level demon king?"

Wearing civilian clothes and looking like an ordinary person, Donghe King landed next to Meng Chuan. Since Lu Jing returned to Yuanchu Mountain three years ago, Donghe King has been guarding Yuanzhou City, and he is also the closest king to Qiyun City.

"Both the two guarding fourth-level demon kings died, and Quyuanhou Ye Fang was also killed?" King Donghe was shocked, "Quyuanhou has been practicing for more than two hundred years, and his skill level has reached the middle stage of the realm of law. His combat power is Not inferior to ordinary kings, gods and demons, but they were killed so quickly?"

One of the surviving lord gods and demons had a bleak look on his face: "If these two fourth-level demon kings hadn't tried their best to hold the demon king back, Senior Brother Wu and I would not have escaped death!"

Meng Chuan frowned and said: "This kind of strength is definitely not the Great Demon King of the Fifth Heaven who broke through from the Fourth Heaven. It should be the Demon Saint of Beijue! It has returned to the strength of the Fifth Heaven!
"Qiyun City is the only big city in Yuanzhou. Senior Brother Donghe is stationed in Yuanzhou City. Beijue Demon Saint attacked Qiyuncheng. Based on its last words, it was for revenge against Senior Brother Lu!"

……

The entrance to Cangyuan Cave is in a majestic hall.

Lu Jing placed a piece of black iron heavenly book on his lap. He closed his eyes as if he was comprehending and practicing.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, and a ray of dusk light flashed through his eyes.

"Are the monsters going to take action?"

Lu Jing took out a bloody pill out of thin air and swallowed it in his mouth.

His Thirteen Sword Evil Demonic Body has been destroyed, and the Infinite True Yuan is dissipating all the time. He can only rely on elixirs to replenish the Infinite True Yuan and prevent the "Infinite Sephiroth Point" in the Dantian space from collapsing.

A dark ray of light shot out from between the eyebrows and left the Heaven and Earth Hall.

In the courtyard on the top of the mountain, two illusory figures suddenly appeared.

"King Jianhe, Li Guan, what's the matter with summoning us?" Bai Yaoyue, who has a cold temperament and an illusory figure, asked.

The Venerable Xu Yingwu of Two Worlds Island on the side looked ugly: "The fourth-level demon kings guarding the three medium-sized world passages in the Dai Yue Dynasty have all been killed. The ones who took action should be the fifth-level demon kings!"

Li Guan and Bai Yaoyue suddenly became serious.

Lu Jingyuan Shen's clone nodded slightly: "This is why I summoned you."

Although Lu Jing controlled more than 500 fourth-level demon kings three years ago, there were still more than 200 fourth-level demon kings who scattered and lurked into the human world while Lu Jing was dealing with the attack of the Jiuyuan Demon Saint.

Therefore, although the three major sects did not awaken the gods and demons of the previous kings who were sleeping with the secret technique of "One Millennium in a Flash", they also sent all other forces and resources to guard various major cities.

Elder Yi, the Lord of the Mountain at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Five Lords of Qin, and even Li Guan's soul clone all went down the mountain to guard the city gates and the city.

Only two commanders, Li Guan and Lu Jing, were left on the mountain.

Therefore, Lu Jing's soul clone also took on the original work of the Mountain Master, Elder Yi and Qin Wu in the early Yuan Dynasty.

"In a short period of time, the fifth-level demon kings have successively attacked the fourth-level demon kings guarding the entrance to the medium-sized world. Twelve of the fourth-level demon kings under my control have died. Now a large number of third-level demon kings should have entered the human world. Sky Demon King." Lu Jing said calmly.Li Guan said in a deep voice: "The strength of Dongning Hou Mengchuan has greatly increased, and the scope of underground exploration has greatly increased. With the addition of King Bai Yu, there were already millions of low-level demon kings in the first and second heavens in the human world, and they have been eliminated. There are a lot of them, and there is nothing to be afraid of if some third-level demon kings come in. The demon clan is probably doing this to kill the fourth-level demon king controlled by you."

Lu Jing nodded slightly and sighed: "The more than 200 fourth-level demon kings that I did not control that sneaked into the human world were basically at the second or even third level of Yuan Shen. Three years ago, I severely damaged them with Yuan Shen attacks. The soul prevents them from breaking through the realm immediately.

"It seems that after three years, some fourth-level demon kings who were on the verge of breaking through have healed their injuries with the treasures provided by the demon world, and have successively broken through to the fifth-level heaven.

"Among the more than 200 demon kings, there are estimated to be more than [-] who have the ability to break through to the fifth heaven in a short time."

Bai Yaoyue and Xu Yingwu were shocked. The sudden appearance of more than twenty fifth-level demon kings had a considerable impact, even the fifth-level demon king who had just broken through.

"If these fifth-level demon kings are sent out collectively to attack the fourth-level demon king guarding the entrance to the medium-sized world, I'm afraid they can kill a large number of demon kings under my control in a very short time. If they are sent out collectively to attack a certain big city... I'm afraid A big city must be guarded by kings, gods, demons or similar forces to hold on and wait for rescue!"

There are currently more than 160 large cities in the three major dynasties of the human race. Not every large city is guarded by kings, gods and demons or equivalent forces. Many of them are jointly guarded by several princes, gods and demons and several fourth-level demon kings.

"And the Beijue Demon Saint, who has just returned to the fifth level, dares to take action brazenly. Isn't the emperor of the demon world afraid of something unexpected happening to him?" Li Guan asked doubtfully.

Lu Jing's eyes were deep: "There are probably other demon saints who have also come in. Moreover, the demon saint Beijue is good at all kinds of secret arts. He can transform into tens of thousands of people and has a very strong ability to save lives. It is normal for you to rely on your magical powers and not be afraid of being killed."

Bai Yaoyue and Xu Yingwu looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. If the Jianhe King Jiansha in front of him was still there, with his divine and demonic body intact, with his speed far exceeding that of Lord Creation and his profound swordsmanship achievements, even if he didn't After using the Star Catastrophe Sword Formation, Beijue Demon Saint, who had not yet recovered his Demon Saint body, could escape unscathed if he dared to show up.

However, if that were the case, Jiuyuan Demon Saint would not be killed. With such a peak Demon Saint around, the human race would not be in such a good situation.

"Do you want to wake up the sleeping gods and demons?" Bai Yaoyue and Xu Yingwu both looked at Lu Jing.

Hundreds of fourth-level demon kings controlled by Lu Jing assist the gods and demons of Heishadongtian and Liangjie Island to guard the city and guard the entrance to the world. For these two sects, they cannot do anything without seeking Lu Jing's opinion.

Li Guan thought deeply: "There is no need to awaken them all. Their remaining lifespan is not long and cannot be wasted at will. If one third of them is awakened, plus other resources and treasures, they should be able to barely hold on!"

Suddenly, everyone including Lu Jing's expressions changed slightly, sensing the strange fluctuations coming from the void.

"The world gap! The world gap is beginning to form between the two realms!" Li Guan's expression suddenly changed.

Bai Yaoyue and Xu Yingwu were horrified, and then their expressions were complicated and unspeakable.

Although the human world and the demon world are approaching each other, the vast river of time and space oscillates, and it is not impossible for them to separate from each other at the next moment.

But the gap between the worlds is beginning to form, which means that the two worlds are already bound to each other, the distance will be getting closer and closer, there will be more and more entrances to the world, and it will become easier and easier for the demon clan to invade.

"It seems that even if it is not to guard against the fifth-level demon kings, some gods and demons will be awakened in the gap between the worlds..." Li Guan sighed.

……

In the demon world, Emperor Peng walked out of the golden palace, his eyes full of surprise.

"The gap between the worlds is beginning to form!"

Emperor Peng stretched out his finger and made a light stroke.

boom -

The void in front began to collapse and annihilate, revealing ripples on the membrane wall.

It is the membrane wall of the world gap.

The radiant membrane wall continued to shatter, revealing a ten-foot-sized hole. Through the hole, one could see a gray world filled with twisted whirlpools.

A world gap is forming.

A man in golden armor appeared out of thin air next to Emperor Peng. It was a kind of puppet purchased by Emperor Peng from outside the territory, enough to entrust him with a small thought.

He cannot exert any strength, but it can allow him to enter the human world through the world channel to convey orders as the emperor's envoy. Of course, it can also allow him to enter the gap between the worlds.

The man in golden armor stepped into the gap between the worlds and allowed himself to be swept away by violent invisible forces, sweeping it into the storm.

"That is……"

After floating for a while, the man in golden armor was about to shatter himself. Suddenly his eyes focused and he looked in a distant direction.

A dazzling starlight dragging five colored ribbons flashed past.

"Space-time ice floes? Space-time ice floes formed so quickly?" The man in golden armor was surprised.

Only when the world was born, the time and space ice floes were accidentally formed due to the collision between the power of the long river of time and space and the power of the birth of the world.

It can be said that even in the long river of time and space, most lives and even the great masters in the Tribulation Realm will never have the opportunity to see the time and space ice floes in their lifetime.

It is only possible to encounter one at the beginning of the birth of the living world, or when two living worlds are extremely close to forming a world gap.

Moreover, the time and space ice floes are of great use to emperors and even great powers in the Tribulation Realm, and can assist in understanding the rules of time and space.

The golden-armored man's eyes were clear: "After the world gap is formed and stabilized, we must send some powerful fifth-level demon kings to bring this space-time floating ice back to the demon world first, to prevent the human race from overtaking it."

Suddenly, the starlight seemed to be pulled close to the man in golden armor by an invisible whirlpool, and a dark ice floe about ten feet in size was revealed in the starlight.

The moment he passed by the man in golden armor, countless images appeared faintly on the dark ice floe.

The man in golden armor was startled, as if he had seen some incredible scene.

……

In the demon world, Emperor Peng's eyes revealed a look of horror: "How is that possible?!"

Immediately, his expression turned gloomy, and the black realm spread out from his entire body, and tremors tore through the void.

Even the emperor's domain is somewhat out of control.

It took him a while to regain his composure.

"No, the space-time ice floe only presents different possible directions of time and space. It is not the real future! It is not the real future!"

Emperor Peng kept comforting himself, but no matter what, it was difficult to erase the shock in his eyes.
