"Gu Yu, what exactly is this primordial spirit of yours?" Ma Li really couldn't understand why his amplification was no longer working. The last time he couldn't use it, it seemed to be against Gu Yu as well. Thinking about the strange deterrent power of Gu Yu's divine and demonic primordial spirit, could it be because of this thing?
“The primordial spirit is the primordial spirit, what else could it be?” Gu Yu replied.
“Even if my amplification is unusable, killing you won’t be difficult.” Ma Li’s body shone with golden light once again, and the five-clawed golden dragon coiled behind him roared to the sky, an aura of kingship instantly spreading out as it charged toward Gu Yu.
However, at this moment, countless strange, ancient, and evil symbols suddenly appeared in the blood-red sky, and a large blood-red net covered the entire dragon tribe.
Then a huge, blood-red six-pointed star appeared in the sky. It slowly began to rotate, and in an instant, countless blood-red threads spread out from the huge star. The blood-red threads seemed to have eyes, and they attacked the Dragon Division students one by one.
Ma Li, who was rushing towards Gu Yu, was suddenly locked by a red line, which forced him to abandon his attack on Gu Yu and head towards the red line.
Such things happened simultaneously in countless places within the Dragon Division. Some trainees were caught off guard and were directly pulled by the red thread, instantly becoming dazed and stiff-bodied, then standing in place like puppets, with eerie blood mist emanating from their bodies.
A red line also rushed towards Gu Yu. Gu Yu hurriedly tried to block it, but the red line stopped when it got close to Gu Yu and then disappeared.
“This…” Gu Yu frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Those with higher cultivation levels unleashed their qi shields, creating a stalemate with the red lines. Although some with lower cultivation levels also managed to condense qi shields, they were instantly pierced by the red lines and pulled away.
Gu Yu didn't have time to think about what was going on, because Lu Yun, Li Zhiran, Qian Duoduo, and others on his side were unable to stop the bloodline.
However, Shi Shuai's forehead mark glowed with golden light, directly blocking the red line.
While everyone was trying to block the bloodline pull, Gu Yu moved through the crowd unharmed.
He first went to Qian Duoduo, and sure enough, the guiding red thread disappeared instantly, and then reappeared on Lu Yun, Li Zhiran, and several important members of the war department.
“You really are a spy.” Ma Li suddenly said when he saw Gu Yu, who was lively and energetic and had rescued the members of the combat team.
Some of the more powerful students, who still had some strength left after resisting the pull of the red line, also discovered that Gu Yu was completely unharmed.
"I'll fuck your grandma's leg." Gu Yu retorted directly. What spy? It's all an excuse. Ma Li was just envious that Gu Yu was not affected by the red thread. Of course, that's just Gu Yu's opinion.
"What did you say?" Ma Li's face turned even uglier than a chrysanthemum. He wanted to make a move against Gu Yu, but just as he was about to act, the red thread above his head suddenly attacked, leaving him unable to react.
But something that gave Gu Yu a headache happened: whenever he got close to someone, the red thread would pull him back, but when he left and rescued the next person, the red thread would reappear.
This is rather difficult, as Gu Yu doesn't know how to create clones, so he can't save too many people.
boom………
During this process, several eleventh-rank grandmasters from the War Department were drawn by the red thread and immediately lost their senses.
Gu Yu looked at the blood-red star disk in the sky, gritted his teeth, and flew towards it. His body was filled with divine and demonic power, and his divine and demonic primordial spirit appeared in an instant.
"Open the heavens." Gu Yu gripped the wooden sword and slashed at the blood-red star disk.
boom………
The blade aura, several meters long, was like a hair compared to an elephant in front of the blood-red star disk. The blade aura was instantly submerged on the blood-red star disk without causing the slightest ripple.
Holding the wooden sword, Gu Yu looked somewhat embarrassed in front of the blood-red star disk. The next second, the blood-red star disk suddenly started spinning faster, which made Gu Yu's expression change instantly.
A tremendous force instantly emanated from the blood-red star disk, and Gu Yu was immediately blasted towards the ground like a cannonball.
Rumble...
A large cloud of dust was immediately kicked up from the ground, and as the dust settled, a deep pit shaped like a human was revealed.
At the same time, countless blood-red threads on the blood-red star disk swept towards the humanoid pit.
At the bottom of the human-shaped pit, Gu Yu felt weak all over, as if his bones were about to fall apart. If his body hadn't been baptized by the power of gods and demons and become exceptionally strong, he would probably have been turned into mincemeat.
The crimson threads that swept in caught Gu Yu's eye, and he frowned, his eyes filled with seriousness.
He couldn't move at this moment. As the saying goes, "a mayfly trying to shake a tree," he had lived for a hundred years, including his previous life, yet he was so careless, daring to try to move the blood-red star disk. That thing, let alone him, even a royal realm expert would have to think twice. That was a huge array!
This time, the crimson threads embedded themselves directly into his body and did not retract.
As the red thread embedded itself, his expression gradually became blank, and the blood-red thread pierced deeper and deeper, penetrating the flesh and sweeping towards the bones and meridians.
The moment it touched Gu Yu's bones, divine and demonic power instantly emanated from Gu Yu's body, and his divine and demonic primordial spirit floated out in an instant. The countless blood-red threads were instantly shaken away from Gu Yu's body by the divine and demonic power.
However, the crimson threads were not relentless and swept over again. The empty and blurry eyes of the divine and demonic spirit suddenly became clear. His body trembled, and a burst of divine and demonic power spread out instantly.
The moment the blood-red threads came into contact with the aura formed by the power of gods and demons, they retreated back into the blood-red star chart like mice seeing a cat.
The speed of the retreat was so fast that it was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
"Huh!" At this moment, a black-robed man covered in blood-red mist suddenly froze, looking somewhat incredulous.
"Impossible. What exactly is he? The Heavenly Demon Ten Directions Formation, plus the Soul Devouring Pull I used with all my cultivation, had no effect on him?" the black-robed man muttered to himself.
"Who exactly are you?" At this moment, an old man stood in front of the man in black robes. He was radiating a fierce aura, but it was not an attack; instead, he was desperately defending against the bloodline.
"Shi Polu, you've been yelling at me all these years, don't you really recognize me?" The black robe on the man in black robes disappeared instantly in the next second.
"Zuo Lengfeng, it really is you!" Shi Polu was not too surprised to see Zuo Lengfeng, who was covered in blood-red mist. After all, he had expected it.
"That's right, it's me, but I'm not Zuo Lengfeng. I am the Demon Queen of the Nightmare Clan, Sanmei." After Sanmei finished speaking, its appearance changed again.
His body was three times larger than normal. Although he was humanoid, his head was black, his eyes were blood red and pointed vertically downwards, and his body was covered with black barbs. In addition, he was surrounded by a blood-red mist, which gave off a sense of oppression and fear.
"Empress of Enchantress? You're from the Demon Clan?" Shi Polu was shocked when he saw the true form of the Three Enchantresses. "You dare to trespass on my human territory? Aren't you afraid that my human emperors will surround and kill you?"
“Hehe…” Sanmei laughed, “Ambush? Back when the Nightmare Source Gate had just opened, my Nightmare Clan suffered a nuclear attack from your human race. My people and my compatriots were instantly reduced to dust. I was fortunate enough to escape, changed my appearance, and lived cautiously every day, fearing that my identity would be exposed and I would be ambushed. I have had enough of this kind of life because of you.”
Sanmei's tone was filled with hatred for humanity, hatred that could lead to the extermination of an entire race.
“With the opening of the Source Gate, if your race had been law-abiding, you would not have suffered a nuclear attack. This is all your own doing. Our human race has never been lenient towards invaders,” Shi Polu said.
No matter how miserable the Nightmare Clan is, they deserve it. Who told them to invade when the Source Gate opened? They killed everyone they saw, young and old alike. Their current fate is retribution.
“Hehe…” Sanmei laughed loudly upon hearing Shi Polu’s words. The laughter was icy and chilling, sending shivers down one’s spine. “Retribution? Your retribution will come sooner or later. My demon race is not just the Nightmare race. Once I find my ancestor, you humans will pay an absolute price.”
"You won't get your wish. You'll die a horrible death," Shi Polu said through gritted teeth. The Three Demons' strength was terrifying, so terrifying that it was impossible to resist them. But if one could not resist them and just accept one's fate, then one would not be worthy of being a Chinese.
"Before I get what I want, you will all die, tsk tsk... The future geniuses of humanity, if they all die, it will be an unprecedented loss for humanity, hahaha..."
"So you really are here to slaughter the geniuses of the Dragon Clan." Upon hearing this, Shi Polu's expression turned grim.
"Shi Polu, do you want me to stop?" Sanmei suddenly asked Shi Polu.
"Hmm?" Shi Polu was somewhat puzzled.
"Dragon Palace Tower, if you can get the people inside to answer one question for me, I might consider letting all the Dragon Division students go," Sanmei said.
"What's the problem?" Shi Polu frowned. He didn't understand what could be the problem that would make Sanmei give up on slaughtering tens of thousands of students in the Dragon Division. Just as Sanmei said, if all tens of thousands of students in the Dragon Division died, it would be an unprecedented loss for humanity.
“In the past, my ancestor, the Demon Clan, crossed the Source Gate and came to this Source Land. The place where he finally disappeared was the Dragon Palace Tower of your Dragon Clan. I want to ask, what is the whereabouts of my ancestor?” Sanmei asked.
"Your ancestor?" Shi Polu was even more confused. The ancestor of the demon race? Who was that? He could cross the Source Gate. According to human intelligence, even a god-level being could not cross the Source Gate, but the ancestor of the demon race could. Could it be that there was an even stronger being above the god-level? After all, humans did not know about the existence of the ancestor realm. In human understanding, the god-level being was the most powerful being, and the emperor-level being was already the strongest being in the world.
“Hehe…” Sanmei sneered sarcastically, “You don’t need to know who my ancestor is. You just need to have the people inside the Dragon Palace Tower answer this question for me.”
Shi Polu was at a loss. It wasn't that he didn't want to communicate with the people inside the Dragon Palace Tower, but that no matter how he tried, they simply ignored him.
The Dragon Palace Tower has always been a place that humans have found difficult to crack, because only those permitted by the Dragon Palace Tower can enter. In the past, the four guardians of humanity, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, tried to enter the Dragon Palace Tower to explore its secrets, but were blocked by the restrictions and had to give up and return.
However, it is certain that there are indeed people inside the Dragon Palace Tower, because every once in a while, there are slots available for entry. Even Shi Polu has entered, but he could not cross the ten thousand steps and was unable to enter the Dragon Palace Tower.
If it weren't for the four guardians saying that the Dragon Palace Tower was harmless to humans, and that its ten thousand steps were actually helpful for human cultivation, humans would probably have tried to bombard the Dragon Palace Tower with their most powerful nuclear weapons, since that was an uncertain factor.
Yesterday, Gu Yu asked Shi Polu to try to communicate with the people inside the Dragon Palace Tower to deal with the Three Demons. However, no matter how much Shi Polu shouted, there was no response from inside the Dragon Palace Tower.
All of this made Shi Polu seriously doubt that there was anyone inside the Dragon Palace Tower.
Moreover, even if he could communicate with the people inside the Dragon Palace Tower, what if the people inside the Dragon Palace Tower were no match for Sanmei? If Sanmei were to find the Demon Ancestor, who might be an existence that surpasses the God Realm, then humanity would be an existence that is impossible to contend with, and perhaps humanity would perish in an instant.
For humanity, it would be better to sacrifice the tens of thousands of Dragon Clan trainees.
"It seems you won't do as I say without seeing some bloodshed." Seeing Shi Polu's hesitant expression, Sanmei's face turned cold, and the blood-red mist around her suddenly turned into rolling flames, while the blood-red star disk in the sky suddenly accelerated its rotation.
As the star disk rotated faster, the blood-red threads that guided the Dragon Division students grew slightly thicker.
Ah... Ah...
A series of shrill screams came from all directions, including from some of the more powerful students who were trying to fight back. But as the blood-red threads thickened, they pierced through their protective shields and pulled their bodies away.
Their pupils suddenly became vacant, like marionettes, while a series of suction forces came from the red pull, causing their bodies to convulse and groan in pain.
"Wait." Hearing the student's screams, Shi Polu trembled all over, partly because of the reinforcing wires on his head, and partly because the screams made him feel extremely sorry for the student.
"I'll give you one more chance." Upon hearing Shi Polu's words, Sanmei's red blood mist receded slightly, and the red star disk in the sky also slowed down its rotation again. He knew very well what Shi Polu's weakness was.
The students who had been wailing calmed down, but their chests were still heaving and their bodies were still trembling.
"It's not that I don't want to do as you say, but I simply can't contact the seniors inside the Dragon Palace Tower," Shi Polu replied truthfully.
"Are you kidding me?" Upon hearing Shi Polu's words, Sanmei's face immediately turned cold. "It seems you don't care about these people's lives. Then let me show you how wonderful it is when the blood bursts open."
With a wave of her hand, Sanmei summoned hundreds of students from afar. They were all dazed and trembling. The next second, Sanmei clenched her hand, and the bodies of the hundreds of students exploded. Their blood and flesh turned into a red mist, just like fireworks.
"You..." Upon seeing this scene, Shi Polu gritted his teeth. He wanted to kill the three demons in front of him, but he did not have the ability.
"Don't get excited, this is just the beginning." Sanmei let out an extremely perverse laugh. He enjoyed this feeling. Demons are bloodthirsty. Over the years, he had been forced to hide in the Dragon Clan. He had been too obedient and his bloodthirsty nature had been suppressed too much. Now that it could erupt, he felt extremely happy.
With a wave of his hand, another hundred students floated over.
"I really can't contact the seniors inside the Dragon Palace Tower," Shi Polu roared. But Sanmei didn't believe him. The next second, hundreds of students turned into blood mist again. In Sanmei's eyes, hundreds of lives meant nothing.
"Looks like it's still not enough," Sanmei muttered to himself. He waved his hand again, and another hundred students floated over.
"Senior inside the Dragon Palace Tower, if you can hear me, please come out and save these innocent children! I beg you, they are the future of humanity, I beg you!" Shi Polu suddenly roared hysterically.
But no one answered his shouts.
However, at this moment, the sudden abnormality of the Dragon Division has alarmed many families in the Holy Capital. A figure appeared around the Dragon Division, but the Dragon Division in front of him was now covered by a huge blood-red energy shield.
The newcomer had gray hair but a very strong and robust physique. He exuded a unique military aura. He hovered in the void but dared not attack the blood-red energy shield rashly.
As the figure appeared, a few breaths later, several more people appeared. They looked at the blood-red energy shield and prepared to break through it, but were stopped by the first person to arrive.
"Senior Huangfu, why are you stopping us?" The group was displeased at being stopped, but when they saw that it was Huangfu Kui, they dared not act rashly.
Besides the four guardians, there is another person who has always protected China. He is Huangfu Kui, the supreme commander of the China Military Region. He is a Huangjing (Emperor Realm) and, many years ago, during the defense of China, he single-handedly killed two Huangjing and more than ten Wangjing from the United States. It is said that his combat power is no less than that of Baihu, the strongest of the four guardians.
He has been stationed in the capital for many years and has never shown his face, but his name is known to everyone in the families and military of the capital.
"This is a large formation with special methods. If you attack from the outside, not to mention whether you can break it, the people inside will definitely die, because your attack will likely be dispersed among those trapped," Huangfu Kui said. This is also why he did not force his way in after arriving.
"Ah!" The newcomers were startled. Fortunately, Huangfu Kui stopped them. Otherwise, if they had attacked the blood-red energy shield right away, wouldn't they have hurt the people trapped inside the Dragon Clan?
