  Chapter 911 Supreme Art (Ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)

The Nanling Mountains are majestic and continuous, running through the extreme south of the Terra Continent. Countless majestic peaks and mountains emerge from it. It is like a strong and powerful arm, protecting the most fertile sub-mountain plain in the entire Nanling Province. .

   And above Terra, there is another majestic mountain range named Absalom, and a large bloodline of Flameland is named after it.

  The former Flamelanders believed that this was their mother mountain range, which blocked the invasion of mountain barbarians and many monsters, and also blocked the prying eyes of the empire.

  But after hundreds of years of stability, the Flamelanders discovered that the former mother mountain range not only blocked the intrusion of others, but also blocked their own steps out.

   And… more than that.

The Absalom bloodline that originally dominated the entire Feiyan Land, because it was trapped inside the Feiyan Land with no exit, could only sit back and watch the Nemathus bloodline, which had mastered the desert trade route of the Yuanyan Land, continue to grow, and even reversed. Come over and surpass them and become the leader of Feiyan Lands today.

   But the business route also has advantages and disadvantages. The benefits are obvious, but the disadvantage is that if foreign enemies invade, the Nemathus bloodline will bear the brunt.

This is why Deathstroke's hometown was prosperous, and even the big boys in the country can play with their beloved girls in the fields and gardens without any worries. During the conflict, it was completely destroyed by air strikes.

  Death Bell still doesn’t understand this truth until now, he only knows that it was the imperial people who killed all his relatives, it was the empire that destroyed his peaceful and beautiful life, and it was the empire that made him a demon.

   He will never forgive, never stop his revenge.

  And now, at the moment when he was completing his revenge, someone blocked him.

  Ian Silverpeak…The Prophet.

  The miraculous prophecy of Skyfire, the mechanized troops of the pre-epoch taking shape, and the united people of Nanling... Such a scene has already begun to make people feel uneasy. This is the embryonic form of another revival of the empire.

  Why does the empire always have such amazingly talented people? Whether it's the Black Sun, the Defenders, or the prophets of this generation...everyone seems to be able to suppress an era.

   Therefore, it must be eliminated!

   It must be completely eliminated when it is sprouting, before the opponent has grown, and before the opponent has reached the point where it cannot be contained!

   Right now... NOW!

  Death Bell opened three eyes, and the third eye was located above his left eye. It was the vertical pupil of a dragon, shining with a cold and merciless golden-red light, shining like the center of the earth, and scarlet like blood.

  Abyssal Armor Deathstroke has been integrated with him. The demon born in his hometown is himself. He is one of the first fusion demons and a test product of the abyss fire.

A heartbeat like thunder is sounding from this body, and the terrifying life force and spiritual energy response comparable to a giant dragon are burning in the body of the great demon. When the death knell opens its eyes and roars, it is extremely terrifying, and the substantive shock wave It presents an ever-expanding concentric circle that spreads in all directions.

  Boom! !

This white shock wave visible to the naked eye swept across the world, whether it was the smoke and dust caused by the falling meteorite, or the distorted vision caused by the disturbance of the void, all of them were swept away, which was enough to make the power of turning steel into dust sweep everything , and even pressed out a huge crater in the ground below.

  This is the 'death knell' - the end that gives equality to all things, and the power of destruction that makes everything go to death!

  At this moment,

  The entire Nanling Province, whether it is the dormant monsters in the mountains or the ascendants stationed in the major cities, all feel an extreme crisis. Even the beast kings in the Baisen Mountains, the subordinates of those mountain kings, they couldn't help but feel a shudder. It was the most primitive fear, it was the self-destructive factor created by all things, and it was the fear of the "big monster" The fear of demons.

   And this terrifying fluctuation not only spread in Nanling, but also spread in the entire void with a magnitude beyond time and space,

  【There is really a fourth-level demon in the demon army in Feiyandi? 】

Daxueding, who has not left Nanling yet, but the frozen fish instructor who stayed here for 'academic exchange' flicked his tail, and the red killer whale looked in the direction of the golden plain with some surprise: [No, it was originally just The peak of the third energy level...but the terrifying soul force forced him to the fourth energy level...This is also because this big devil has a good enough foundation and is crazy enough, otherwise, the result can only be completely turned into a 'sickness']

  The so-called evils are godly evil monsters who have completely lost their sanity, have no wisdom and only pure power. This kind of monster is also recorded in the silver chip. It is said that the void spawn is naturally generated in the universe, and it is a natural spawn built by the infinite despair of all the lives in the universe itself.

But obviously, the death knell has crossed the watershed that is the most difficult for the big devil to cross. With the power of absorbing all the soul volume after most of the demon army died out, he has crossed the boundary of the third energy level and completely become a demon. Become the leader of the big demon, the real four-level.

   "The fourth energy level appeared in the demon army of Flameland."

  In the imperial capital, Mo Ze, the dean of the Institute of Intellectual Intelligence, narrowed his eyes. His psychic power 'Seal of Omen' had already planted a shadow in Nanling, and he saw all of Ian's operations during the whole process.

   Even so, when seeing Tianhuo, the well-informed old dean couldn't help raising his brows, feeling surprised and unbelievable.

According to his original idea, both the Western Region and the Southern Ridge as "sacrifices" would be shattered—and the original groups of Western and Southern Nobles would also be shattered, and would be returned to the direct jurisdiction in the subsequent reconstruction work hosted by the Imperial Capital. It is completely controlled by the imperial capital, and then a new round of modernization reforms will be launched.

But now, Ian has not only carried out informatization transformation in Nanling, subdued all the nobles in Nanling with the army of demons, and even created a mechanical army, a product of pre-epoch civilization—it seems that this little guy The inheritance in his hands is beyond imagination, and even the late emperor doesn't seem to have such a complete collection.

  Even Feiyandi's extraordinary army, the Demon Army, was unable to win, and was even forced to play the last card.

  Using the power of the entire legion to catalyze the fourth-level demon... This has already exceeded the red line of danger, and it is by no means an opponent that Nanling can deal with theoretically.

  Theoretically speaking, at this time in the imperial capital, the Fengxiang Knights stationed in the central plain should be dispatched to directly obliterate this fourth-level monster.

but…

"Interesting." Narrowing his eyes, with a dark purple halo in his eyes, Dean Mo Ze looked at Nanling with a smile: "It seems that our prophet seems to have expected it—he wants to solve this fourth ability head-on. super monster?"

   "Let's see. Let me see... whether you can have the same potential as your brother Mahdi, beyond our imagination!"

  South Ridge.

  Witnessed the birth of a fourth-level monster, but Ian didn't respond with any surprise.

  From the very beginning, he knew that the death knell was very strong, and it was a strong third energy level that could rely on the power of the demon army to exert the power of the fourth energy level. In this case, his plan has always been based on this.

  Death knell advanced to the fourth level, nothing more than a little stronger strength, and did not exceed Ian's plan... Well, it may exceed a little, but it is not a big problem.

   (Heart of Terra, can't you **** the souls of these dead demons?)

In his mind, Ian communicated directly with the heart of Tyra, and he could see that the demonization of the death knell at this moment was entirely due to the gathering of the souls of the demon army. It can weaken the enemy.

  But the feedback from the Heart of Terra is very simple—if it is in the Silver Peak Territory, maybe you can try it. The signal on the edge of the South Ridge is too bad. It is already the limit to support Ian, and it can no longer be done.

   Moreover, there seems to be a vague connection between the souls of demons...

   "Interesting, is there a dark hand?" Ian narrowed his eyes.

  At this moment, the death knell, which has completely turned into a three-eyed dragon-winged demon, is suspended in mid-air, surrounded by pitch-black subspace flames. It looks down at the earth indifferently, and looks at each other with the goblin Ian.

  At this moment, Death Knell was quite puzzled.

  Because, in its sublimated "spirit world vision", Ian's soul is not a goblin at all... but a huge, borderless... darkness.

  This darkness is like a black hole, as if it wants to absorb all the light, but it is light in the first place, because there are thousands of silver-cyan light spots on this pitch-black curtain, which are dazzling.

This is something that the life on Terra cannot understand. It is called starry sky, cold and ruthless, empty and empty, and the environment is close to hell. While swallowing dreams, it also contains all hope and future. The most contradictory thing in the world.

  In Ian's eyes, the demon in front of him was a raging flame called anger and destruction.

  It is the desire to shatter everything, to shatter the entire reality derived from refusing the death of family members and refusing the death of loved ones, but having to face their desperation that burnt their bones. The essence of that terrifying vibration is not just a sound wave, but a destruction that shakes the world and smashes everything!

  And now, this group of fire of hatred that destroys everything, accompanied by thunder, is rushing towards him!

  【Die, Prophet! 】

At this moment, a large cloud of dust that had formed over Nanling due to the rising of dust dispersed in response to the sound, and a super-giant circular shock wave visible to the naked eye spread across the entire sky, and in an instant, the plain below the mountain that had already arrived at sunset Illuminated by the dim light of evening.

Deathstroke is holding a long flaming sword in his hand at this moment. All the dust and gravel within a radius of one kilometer are ignited by him to accelerate the vibration of molecules with the 'oscillating psionic energy', turning them into lava steam. For a moment, he is like It is a fire dragon that controls the flames. It is surrounded by terrifying golden-red flame tornadoes. Anything that enters it will be completely crushed and turned into complete debris.

  And now, as the death knell raised its sword and slammed towards Ian, the entire flaming tornado brought a loud sound like the collapse of a mountain, like a super giant fire sword falling towards the goblin.

  Based on this move alone, the strength of Death Knell is worthy of the name of the fourth energy level. It is a real humanoid natural disaster. It may not take a few rounds to destroy the entire city.

  Ian is not stupid, he immediately retreated, using the goblin's super high mobility to retreat and avoid the blow.

  The flaming tornado fell to the ground, and in an instant, a super-giant ditch with a width of 100 meters appeared on the ground. Countless lava steam tumbling upwards frantically, mixed with the subspace power of the death knell, formed a large flame field.

   This is the power of the 'big devil', which can spread the 'subspace' in one's body through acts of destruction, forming a field that is extremely beneficial to oneself.

   Ian, who was retreating rapidly, was also involved in this field. The continuous rolling metal lava steam, flying gravel and restless high-temperature air engulfed the little goblin. Looking around, everything was golden red.

But this did not escape Ian's perception. A silver lightning bolt flashed before his eyes after he had entered the 'Heart of Terra' state. He quickly sensed the handle coming from behind his right Smash the magic sword silently.

This shattering magic sword is not a substance in essence, but a shock wave created by the 'death knell' with its own spiritual energy. It is similar to a lightsaber, invisible and substanceless, but it can chop and smash anything, even the strongest It is meaningless to face it.

Deathstroke's first blow after advancing to the fourth energy level seemed earth-shattering, but he also knew that he didn't have the confidence to hit Ian with one blow, so he just used it to force Ian to move, the real killer move , but this blow is a sneak attack in one's own domain.

   And he also believes that even if Ian is a prophet of crisis, it is absolutely impossible to have the ability to predict in this situation!

  He's right, Ian really can't predict this kind of thing... But the heart of Tyra can enhance Ian's perception, allowing him to detect the real body of Deathstroke!

   In this regard, Ian just held his backhand, and also squeezed out a long ice sword from the void.

  The long sword in the hand of the fairy Ian is only two feet short, but it is equally strong. Since the death knell created this destructive flaming sword with the "accelerated molecular vibration", he also used the power of the ice source to solidify the molecules to create an absolutely indestructible ice sword!

   Two swords collided, one big and one small, and there was a loud bang that shocked the mountains. In an instant, the surrounding lava steam cloud and mist were blown away, revealing two figures facing swords.

Ian knew that he would not be able to win the moment he confronted the sword. Deathstroke made a breakthrough. After advancing to the fourth energy level, he may not have time to master the abilities that the fourth energy level should have, but he has completely surpassed it in terms of instant output. The upper limit of the third energy level, even if you don't move the body of the strong city to activate the dragon's core, it is at this level. Even if the body of the fairy is blessed with the heart of Terra, it is completely unable to face it head-on.

However, perhaps because he was just an ordinary person before the death knell, the so-called martial arts were only learned later, and the foundation was not perfected, the death knell's swordsmanship is only "ruthless" and "fast", but not "clever" and "sharp". .

  Although Ian's martial arts training time is probably less than half of Death Knell's, he is a well-deserved genius, and his foundation is extremely solid. He even used a clever sword to draw Death Knell's sword aside.

The swordsmanship in the world of Terra is not so much a skill as a discipline. Each style of swordsmanship will be calculated efficiently in order to use the most stable power at the most appropriate time to kill the enemy most effectively. .

  Whether it's stabbing, slashing, or hooking and fighting, a person who is proficient in swordsmanship can do anything.

The death knell drew out his sword several times, and each time he felt that his sword of flame was about to crush Ian's sword of ice, he unexpectedly lost the ability to follow up on Ian's sword in the middle, and Ian would hit the spine of the sword horizontally. , or press the hilt of the sword so that the death knell cannot exert its strength. In general, it is not to confront the death knell head-on.

   Not only that, every time Death Knell makes a mistake in attacking, he will immediately approach with his elf-moving body, use the swift sword to aim at the area exposed outside the armor, and draw his sword to stab!

  If it is said that other people's sword skills are just ordinary skills, then Ian's sword skills can be called the "Supreme Art"!

  For a while, it was clearly the strength of Death Knell, but it was Ian who forced him back, and the sword was scattered.

Many Nanling people who were still watching the live broadcast through Ian's vision shouted. They had seen the death knell advance, which seemed to destroy the world. That unbelievable natural disaster demon was actually suppressed by Earl Yinfeng, so naturally he regained his energy and began to cheer.

But in fact, Ian himself secretly thought that something was wrong: Although Deathstroke was forced to retreat by him, he did not panic. En's sword power.

   It can even be said that the reason why Ian was able to force the opponent back was because Deathstroke knew his own weakness, so he was deliberately lost and observed Ian's sword path.

   Sure enough, Deathstroke's swordsmanship became more and more methodical, and the counterattacks became more and more fierce. This time it was Ian's turn to feel that the long sword in his hand was unstable, and it was even about to break.

   Fortunately, Ian also took advantage of this time to observe the situation of the death knell.

  【Death knell】

  【Fourth Energy Level · Demon Lord · Core · Inedible】

[The natural fusion demon strengthened by Feiyandi Abyss technology has some characteristics of 'lord' and 'dead king', and can draw power from the soul of the demon under him. When the demon under his hand dies, the soul is first captured by the demon lord Absorb, become part of its power]

  【Possesses extremely strong psychic abilities, can freely move in the virtual world, and can even pull a piece of material world into the depths of the virtual world subspace, building its own 'abyss'. However, due to the transformation of Feiyandi, after merging the demon into the fourth energy level, the domain is naturally merged into the cursed soil and turned into the "cursed soil abyss"]

[Natural fusion demons rarely appear in the natural world, the probability is one in 570 million, but once successful, fusion demons have a strength that exceeds that of ordinary real demons, because they really do demon things with a human heart, Far more crazy and terrifying than the original demon, more persistent and determined]

  【Containing source quality: 1459126.7833 core source quality units】

  【Warning: This individual is in a special state, extremely dangerous! 】

  【…】

  Is the feeling you met or a rare individual? No wonder the opponent was able to break through and upgrade. To be honest, Ian felt a little slanderous in his heart. He didn't upgrade a few times before the battle, so why did the enemies know all of them?

   Forget it, the Prophet never does things that are uncertain. If possible, Ian really wants to crush after the fifth energy level.

   As for now... time has stalled enough!

   thump!

  The sound of shattering exploded, and the long ice sword in Ian's hand shattered. After all, the concussion power of the death knell surpassed Ian in the state of Terra's heart, and there was nothing in the goblin's hand at this moment.

【good! 】

  The death knell roared angrily, and the flaming sword in his hand was about to hit the petite goblin in front of him...but suddenly, its body paused slightly, and then, its head was covered with translucent red spiritual flames!

  The moment he saw the psychic flame, Ian knew that Xiou's real dragon body had come to the surrounding area. Sure enough, a dragon chant resounded above the sky, and then quickly disappeared.

  Xio escaped into the void, waiting for the next opportunity to make a move.

  【True Dragon...Damn...Didn't you say to stay neutral? ! 】

  Flying Flameland obviously knew about Xiou's information, but they didn't know that Xiou had voluntarily given up Long Island's neutral status, joined the Silver Peak Territory, and became a part of the Silver Peak Territory. Of course, he could declare war on them.

  【Shameless imperial people! Shameless dragon! You clearly agreed to remain neutral, why didn't you protect us back then, instead you protected these imperial people! ? 】

  The demon's anger was raised again, and this time, it built an impenetrable defense around its soul, and the dark mist surrounded it like a shield.

   But before he started to act for a long time, the pace of Death Knell slowed down again.

  Because it saw other people.

  Four figures are coming from all directions.

Elder Manya, Marquis of Barton, Viscount Grant, and the real body of Siou... Four strong men, some of whom are armed with ether, and some of whom carry the strongest accessories and weapons, joined Ian in ignoring the death knell. surrounded.

  In the virtual environment, there is also a giant of light that is looming, with a red light shining on its chest, approaching.
