Chapter 59 Challengers of the Eighth Era

Ji Xiu was stunned when he saw his parents appear on the screen.

The questions that had been buried deep in my heart were answered at this moment.

He clearly remembers that when his 12th birthday was approaching, his parents mysteriously disappeared on their way back from a trip.

At that time, the police conducted a detailed investigation into the disappearance of his parents. This matter also caused heated discussion on the Internet. However, the police retrieved all the surveillance cameras in the area where his parents disappeared, but they did not capture where his parents went.

The case ultimately went unanswered.

In this way, he became an orphan who inherited the inheritance of his parents' three buildings.

Before traveling through time, he also spent several years searching for the truth behind his parents' disappearance, but he spent a lot of money and energy and failed to find any clues.

But he didn't expect that the answer would appear in front of him in this way.

It turns out that his parents traveled to this world before him and became the eighth player to challenge the Kuroshio Natural Disaster.

The father in the picture is wearing a battle armor sewn from the skin and metal of an unknown creature. His exposed arms are covered with scars. On his head is a red iron helmet with flame marks on it. He is holding it in his left hand. A red war blade made entirely of energy, with blood-red flames burning on the blade.

Every time my father took a breath, red air spurted out from his nostrils.

Behind him, the red battle flag was raised high and fluttering in the wind. The human warriors behind him were divided into two waves.

The soldier on the left behind him was wearing a red armor like his father, with red flames burning in his eyes, as if endless anger was about to burst out of his eyes.

The warrior on the right side behind him was wearing a blood-colored battle uniform. The blood mist surrounding his body spread with his breath and surged into the sky, converging into a terrifying blood-colored life.

The mother in the picture is wearing a blue robe, dotted with endless stars, as if she is wearing the entire starry sky on her body.

The human warriors behind her were also divided into two groups, each with different clothing and weapons.

Everyone looked at the high wall at the end of the snowfield with extremely serious expressions.

The Kuroshio natural disaster is imminent. The mother in the picture suddenly turns to look at her father and smiles:
  "Lao Ye, do you think we can break the records of our predecessors?"

"Yes!" My father answered with a serious expression, looking at the high wall in the distance.

"Lord of Fear and Fury, I look forward to your performance." Mother joked in a slightly teasing tone. After her words fell, her eyes became serious and she turned towards the high wall.

Over time, cracks appeared in the high walls.

Wisps of black mist seeped through the cracks, corroding the complex rune marks on the high wall. Although the runes were still repairing the wall, the damage from external forces was too powerful, and the self-repair speed of the high wall was completely unable to keep up. The speed at which it is destroyed.

More and more cracks appear on the wall, and the fallen gravel reveals the precise golden formation inside.

boom! boom! boom!
  Suddenly there were three loud noises, and the ground shook violently. The high wall could not hold up under the impact of unknown external forces, and collapsed, revealing a gap dozens of meters long.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiu was instantly nervous.

His original playful attitude could no longer be calm, because it was his parents who challenged Kuroshio this time.

Even though the outcome was foreseeable, he still hoped for a miracle in his heart.

Thick black mist followed the gap in the collapsed high wall, sweeping toward the world like water bursting from a dike, and ferocious black monsters kept emerging from the black mist.

The body of the monster that first emerged from the black mist was like mist, sometimes condensing into a human form, sometimes as ethereal as a shadow, its face was blurry, and only a pair of orange eyes were clearly visible in the black mist.

The monster that then emerged was holding a black halberd. Its body was made of pitch-black bones, its head was a triangular skull, and there was a pair of huge black wings on its back. Every time it flapped, it could set off a roaring wind. In its dark green eyes, Burning with raging flames.

Humanoid creatures carrying underworld lanterns, tooth-eating beasts, red-eyed monsters with scales all over their bodies... There are seemingly endless monsters emerging from the black mist, roaring and shouting at the world inside the high wall without fear of death. charge.

Facing the approaching black tide, the father in the picture raised his right hand.

Suddenly, the phantoms of terrifying monsters condensed above the heads of the black-clothed warriors behind them broke free from the invisible restraints, roaring and diving towards the black tide with a bloody wave.

The trumpet of war was sounded.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu felt a splitting headache, and his head felt like needles pricking him unbearably.

But he still chose to endure the sting and kept reading.

He wants to see the ending, even if the ending is not what he wants.

The picture of human warriors and black tide monsters charging each other is like two waves when the tide rises, colliding in the center, causing the energy flow to turn into layers of shock waves, surging from the center to both sides, and the energy generated in an instant even shattered the sky. The sky in the picture has fine cracks like broken glass.

At this moment, familiar red eyes appeared in the black mist outside the high wall.

A right leg covered with fine black scales stepped over the high wall and stepped on the ground. The force generated in an instant shook all the nearby dark creatures away, and the ground suddenly sank. The terrifying power swept up the sand and dust in the sky. Blow before.

The figure known as "Preface Disaster" stepped over the high wall at this moment, revealing his true identity.

It has a humanoid shape, more than two meters tall, and has majestic muscles formed by sculptures. Its claws seem to be made of fine steel, each holding a black sickle, and his face is still full of sarcastic sneer.

It raised its head and looked at its father and mother suspended in the air. The sickles in its left and right hands turned slowly, but it was not in a hurry to take action. It slowly opened its arms and took a deep breath. A nostalgic expression appeared on its face, as if it was enjoying the cruelty of the war.

Ji Xiu put one hand on his head at this time, and the stinging pain made him almost faint.

But he still didn't want to give up and wanted to continue reading.

Seeing the disaster appear, his father also took action. With his hand raised, a blood-colored ball of light rose from above his head, like a sun bursting with bright light.

After being illuminated by this bloody light, the monsters that emerged from the black tide stopped moving one after another, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, as if they had received some kind of mental stimulation. They stood there in fear, letting the attacks of the human warriors hit them.

The mother in the picture took a step forward at this moment, and suddenly the darkness beneath her feet was like a curtain drawn at the end of a movie, quickly sweeping in the direction of the dark tide.

She looked far away at Xu Han standing behind the Kuroshio army, and said softly:

"Xu disaster, come on."

Faced with the provocation, Xu Ban remained silent. He moved the sickle in his right hand left and right in front of him and then suddenly threw it out.

Buzz~buzz~buzz!
  The sickle struck at the black curtain, gradually increasing speed as it advanced. The surrounding air fluctuated violently, forming a powerful shock wave, making the surrounding air extremely hot.

With the deafening sound of sonic boom, the air flow dissipated instantly, and the scythe broke through the sound barrier in flight.

Then comes the second stage of speed-up, the third stage of speed-up...

The speed of the scythe is getting faster and faster, tearing apart the space, pulling out a fine black space crack, and slashing directly on the black screen.

This knife seemed to have the power to create the world. The black curtain released by the mother had no resistance in front of the sickle. It was easily split into a gap. Along this gap, the black curtain was divided into two. The sickle disappeared instantly and appeared again. Less than one meter in front of my mother.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiu's heart was in his throat.

At this moment, a thick arm covered with scars suddenly crossed in front of the mother, grabbing the jet black sickle without hesitation.

boom!
  The moment the arm came into contact with the pitch-black scythe, terrifying power suddenly erupted and swept away, and the shock wave blew away a large number of warriors below.

"I am...the Lord of Fear and Fury!"

Hearing his roar, the warriors behind him let out a wave of shouts, stretched out their right hands to their father, and murmured in their mouths.

Wisps of blood mist rose from the ground and flew into the air, being absorbed by his father's body.

The father's eyes lit up with bloody light, and the scene in his eyes was like hell, burning with endless flames.

Roar!
  The roar resounded between the heaven and the earth, and his father's body suddenly swelled. The surging blood-colored energy enveloped his body, and in the blink of an eye he transformed into a sky-holding giant.

With a height of more than a hundred feet, it seemed like a majestic mountain range between heaven and earth. Each finger was like a thick tree trunk. The ground he stepped on seemed to make the whole world tremble. The muscles on his body were as hard as steel and contained infinite power.

His skin was a dark copper color, covered with a thick layer of cuticle, full of a sense of primitive power. Flames overflowed from his eyes and covered his body. His hair also turned fiery red like fire, dancing with the wind, adding a touch of extravagance. A breath of wildness.

The resolute face was embedded with a pair of blazing eyes, staring directly at Xu disaster in the distance.

Roar!
  When he roared again, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. The jet-black sickle still spinning in his hand rubbed against the palm of his hand, emitting a dazzling light, and its speed slowed down.

Finally, the pitch-black sickle stopped spinning and was forcibly caught by my father in the most violent way.

"Lao Ye, he's so handsome."

The mother who was blocked behind smiled and gave a thumbs up and praised.

The father did not answer. He glanced at the black sickle in the palm of his hand, but saw that the sickle was about to turn into black mist and dissipate. He clenched his fist suddenly and tried to grab it, but found that the black mist dissipated from the fingers.

At the same time, a jet-black sickle with a domineering shape condensed in Xu Han's right hand and returned to its position.

In the initial fight, there is no winner or loser.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu felt that he could no longer hold on any longer, and even the pictures in his mind became blurry, as if cast a shadow.

Sweat seeped out from his forehead to form fine beads of sweat, and his body was shaking due to exhaustion.

At this moment, he felt warmth pouring into his back. Although the tingling sensation did not disappear, the picture in front of him became clear again.

In the picture, the mother points to the disaster from a distance, and the warriors behind her simultaneously condense their energy to offer strength to her. A purple formation spanning several kilometers is quickly outlined above the mother's head. During the rotation, the dark clouds that originally covered the sky instantly dissipate.

At this time, a pillar of light rose from the center of the formation and connected with the sky.

The stars in the sky burst out with bright light, and a formation appeared on each star. After condensing in the center, a starlight pillar fell, and carpet bombing was carried out in front of the high wall.

The life that emerged in the black mist was instantly emptied, but the black mist that did not dissipate continued to breed endless monsters.

Xu disaster's figure advanced slowly, his body standing erect under the repeated bombardment of the light beams falling from the stars, and it had no effect at all.

When its right hand was raised again, the black scythe spun out as a phantom.

The father also dived towards Xu disaster at this time, his right fist burning with blood-red flames came into contact with the black scythe, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted as the earth trembled, and a strong energy shock wave was released instantly, spreading at an extremely fast speed, like Huge ripples rippled through the air.

The space was torn apart and the temperature suddenly rose.

The ground where the energy wave passed turned into scorched earth. A large number of soldiers below lowered their bodies to resist the terrifying shock wave. A snow forest more than ten kilometers away was uprooted by the shock wave. The trees turned into powder in the air and dissipated. Even the earth Huge ravines were torn apart.

The battlefield became a mess after this blow.

The aftermath of the energy did not dissipate. After sweeping through the snow forest, it hit the mountain peaks in the distance. The rocks instantly cracked. The mountains seemed to dissipate with the sound of "rumbling", and the continuous mountains seemed to have never existed. The two figures at the center of the collision remained motionless.

Xu Han's figure seemed extremely small in front of his father's majestic body, but he did not lose any bit in the collision of pure power.

The two figures looked at each other, and a playful expression appeared on Xu Han's face again, as if he was looking forward to his father's next performance.

boom!
  The sickle and fist collided again, and the shooting speed suddenly accelerated.

There were countless collisions in an instant, and the shock wave spreading around them was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples to spread in all directions.

boom! boom! boom!
  Just when Ji Xiu wanted to continue watching, countless black spots appeared on the screen.

click!
  The picture falls into darkness and irregular fast forward appears.

When the picture became clear again, his father turned into a demon, with his mother's figure standing in the sky above him.

All the human warriors at the rear released their energy and stood ready, constantly delivering their own power to his parents.

On the other side, the left side of Xu Li's body was broken. He raised his right hand and pointed at his parents suspended in the air with the sickle in his hand. His body healed quickly under the repair of the black mist, and he spoke with difficulty.

"good."

This was the first time Ji Xiu heard Xu Han speak.

Its sound was like rough sandpaper rubbing against paper, hoarse and depressing.

The parents in the picture did not answer. The mother, who was hanging above the father's head, raised her right hand at this moment, and saw purple streams of light falling like a fountain with the mother's right hand as the center. After these purple streams of light came into contact with the father's body, the body surface was The mark caused by the black mist invasion quickly faded, but the scars that existed before the war had not been erased.

The broken flame war blade in his father's hand also regrouped at this moment.

Yaowang had recovered as before, but did not attack again. He chose to wait where he was to repair his body. A smile suddenly appeared on his father's face:
  "The disaster is nothing more than that."

Xu Ban heard this and did not answer. The black sickle in his hands slowly turned faster and faster.

Before a new round of fighting broke out, the mother murmured softly, and several overlapping super-large formations appeared one after another above her head. The energy released continued to cover the father's body, turning into spell marks like a tattoo.

Among them, the purple formation was imprinted on his father's back, turning into a pair of dark purple wings spread out.

With the blessing of multiple amplification effects, a confident smile appeared on his father's face, his figure swayed slightly and then suddenly disappeared.

The reappearance is already in front of the disaster.

The huge body twisted, and the flaming giant blade in his hand pressed down on Xu disaster like a mountain bearing down on him.

Before the giant blade even touched the ground, the terrifying wind pressure caused spreading cracks to appear on the ground.

Xu Ban also raised his hands at this time, thick black mist surrounded his body, and the sickle in his hand went straight towards the burning giant blade.

boom!
  The burning giant blade collided with the sickle, and the burst of white light stung Ji Xiu almost unable to open his eyes.

It was obviously a picture analyzed in his mind, but it made Ji Xiu feel like he was actually there.

After this collision, the frequency of his father's attacks increased significantly, and the mother hanging above his head continued to deliver amplifying power to his father's body.

Every subsequent swing of the burning giant blade had the force of thunder, and the blazing flames circled around him, like a fire dragon dancing with the burning giant blade, slashing one after another. Several deep gaps were opened in the earth, and the air was filled with Burnt smell.

Under this offensive, Xu Han's body became broken again, and dense cracks appeared on the surface of the pitch black sickle in his hand.

But there was no trace of fear in Xu Han's eyes, and he continued to calmly respond to his father's violent attack.

"Xu disaster, you lose."

When his father said these words, the war blade in his hand rose up in the wind, turning into a giant blade with no end in sight, and slashed straight at Xu Han's broken body.

"Kill him!"

Ji Xiu shouted excitedly when he saw Xu Han raising his broken weapon and choosing to withstand the attack.

At this moment, the picture fluctuated violently again.

Countless black spots nearly covered his vision.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiu felt anxious and realized that this was the loss of the picture caused by the serious damage to the eighth formation.

When the picture became clear again, the scene was like a torn photo, with black cracks all over the sky dividing the world into countless sections, and even the scenes were misaligned.

For example, the part of the scene that belongs to the earth has been moved to the top, and the sky appears at the bottom.

This shows how intense the battle was.

Ji Xiu looked in the direction of the high wall. The high wall that once withstood the black tide had long since collapsed and disappeared. Black mist continued to penetrate into the world across the border.

Turning his head to look to the south where Starlight City is located, the thick black fog obscured his vision and made it difficult to see the way forward.

The war is over.

The life and death of his parents are unknown.

Looking at the black mist still spewing in the direction of the high wall.

Although he didn't want to accept the fact in his heart, his reason told him that his parents would most likely lose.

They failed to resist the black mist's invasion of the world.

Like the previous seven seniors, he eventually fell into the black tide of natural disasters.

But in the picture shown before, the parents were the dominant party, and Ji Xiu didn't know what happened in the subsequent pictures.

At this moment, a figure appeared on the screen.

Its body is translucent, dotted with stars inside, which are connected to each other to outline a complex overlapping star array. The face has no obvious facial features, only a pair of blue eyes are clearly visible, and the Milky Way flows inside.

It looked in the direction of the high wall and moaned softly, as if it was crying.

As he raised his hand, the ground roared, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

More than ten seconds later, a towering bronze door appeared on the ground through the surface.

The translucent figure passed through the bronze door, and Ji Xiu's eyes moved forward. What appeared in front of him was a huge formation filled with brilliance.

In the center of this formation, there are seven rectangular transparent chambers that look like breeding chambers arranged neatly.

In each transparent compartment lay a curled-up baby who looked less than a year old.

Seeing these seven baby barns, Ji Xiu suddenly realized that what was being cultivated in them seemed to be the first generation of divine warriors.

This guy with the trajectory of the stars in his body used some unknown method to preserve the power of the seven defeated seniors who traveled through time, and gave birth to these seven relics with infinite power hidden in them.

The translucent figure activated the formation at this moment, and the formation immediately began to move, and terrifying energy was poured into the bodies of the seven divine infants.

Ordinary people would be overwhelmed by the energy that would burst their bodies if they ingested even a tiny bit of it, but seven babies greedily devoured it, like a bottomless pit that could not be satisfied at all.

The release of energy lasted for several minutes. The translucent figure seemed to be tired. He put down his hands and floated to the rear of the formation.

Broken black spots appear again on the screen.

After several flashes, Ji Xiu saw a translucent figure opening something like a white capsule.

I only heard my mother's familiar voice coming from inside:

"Tell the challengers of the next era... Gathering the faith of the human race is the only way to defeat the Kuroshio natural disaster... This is true for every generation. Only by shouldering the responsibility of protecting the human race, will the human race's faith give him a powerful gift... Inherit the predecessors The seven relics of power are our cross-era gifts to him, but unfortunately we have no time to wait for them to grow up... I hope our successors can break new records and gain power beyond the Black Tide Natural Disaster."

"By the way... tell him for us... if one day he can defeat the black tide and return to our hometown... pursue our aura to find the child named Ji Xiu, and tell him... that his parents will always love him. "

After listening to this recording, Ji Xiu couldn't calm down for a long time.

Even after a long time in another world, his parents have never forgotten him.

Kuroshio natural disaster, what the fuck!

Although he didn't know what the Kuroshio disaster was, Ji Xiu knew that it was the Kuroshio disaster that killed his parents.

It can be heard from this recording that even his parents never thought that the successor of the next era would be their son.

As for who the transparent figure in the picture is, Ji Xiu already has the answer in his heart.

There is only one person, or more accurately, one god who cultivates the warriors of the Divine Legacy. He is the founder of the Yu Jing Kingdom, Yu Jingshen.

The information provided by the formation was fragmented, but Ji Xiu could still discern a lot of information.

He didn't know why his parents and his predecessors from previous eras wanted to challenge the Kuroshio Natural Disaster, but there must be an inescapable reason for making this choice.

Perhaps he will have to face the same challenges as his parents in the future.

The recording left by his mother gave him a reminder about the future, that is, to help the human race grow up. In the future, the human race will also become his help in fighting the Kuroshio natural disaster.

His understanding of this sentence is that every god has followers who gather power.

Just like the Black Hole God, there are members of the Black Hole Clan who collect beliefs for him, including the Thousand Faces Clan established by the God of Trickery.

And the shortcut for him to obtain power may be to have a large number of human believers to provide him with power.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu had new questions in his heart.

Yu Jingshen and the seven divine infants who appeared at the end of the screen seemed to be the foreshadowing left by their parents for the next challenger. Seven of the babies were the current seven members of the divine infant team. But what puzzled him was that Yu Jing Where has God gone?
  He retained the human fire and the divine fire, and established the Yu Jing Kingdom with his own hands. He followed the agreement with his parents and paved the way for challengers in the next era, but now he is missing.

　Thanks to the helmsman who rewarded me with two slaps.

　　Thanks to Guobaoyou and Xianyushengsheng1998 for the 1500 starting coins.
