Chapter 458: Ruins of the Altar
It was afternoon, and a ray of golden sunlight shone through the gaps in the dense dark clouds like a thief, and disappeared in a flash.
Zhang Yang looked up at the scene, thoughtful.
It has been forty-two days since that day when he led his team away from Chungui City. During this period, he did not encounter many attacks, and it was even difficult to find a demon.
But this is not normal, the dead god will definitely come back again. This world was originally its back garden, and it knows all the arrangements in it by heart. Even if these arrangements are now destroyed by nine out of ten, as long as one or two percent of them can be activated, not only Qing Fengzi will have a headache, but Zhang Yang will have even more headache.
So Qing Fengzi tried to control and tame the wild boar demon, while Zhang Yang led the team around the world without any target, but any suspicious place was his target.
"Sir, we have discovered another ruin beneath a large rift valley."
A Destroyer captain came to Zhang Yang and reported that they were the best spies. Zhang Yang's team only walked 500 miles a day, but these Destroyer captains had to explore every corner within a radius of 3,000 miles every day.
So some ruins would be discovered every day. These were the cities or immortal gates before the disaster. Zhang Yang had also investigated them one by one, but apart from harvesting some resources, he did not get the results he wanted.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Before he finished speaking, the sword on Zhang Yang's back automatically unsheathed, and the sword light danced, covering dozens of miles in an instant. Even if this was not a standard sword-flying, with his current exquisite sword-controlling skills, it was not impossible for him to fly the sword.
After a moment, more than 500 miles away, a huge rift valley spanning north and south, hundreds of miles wide from east to west, with no end in sight from north to south appeared in Zhang Yang's sight.
"Well, this was caused by a demigod. The strike had a range of three thousand miles. Even the protective formations would not be immune to such an attack. However, the traces of the laws left here are relatively faint, so it can be confirmed that this battle took place hundreds of years ago, when demons from the outside world had just invaded this world."
In just a short moment, Zhang Yang had already mastered most of the useful information about this place. After all, the subject's knowledge back then was quite broad.
With a slight movement of his mind, his sword turned into a stream of light, and he landed in this huge rift valley, which was about 10,000 meters deep from the ground, and was covered with a strange petrified surface everywhere.
This thing was left behind by the demigod's attack. It was strengthened and sealed by the laws. It is extremely solid and smooth. Standing on it, you can see many seemingly real images wailing and crying inside. These are the wronged souls that were sealed in together. If your true soul is not strong enough, you will go crazy just by looking at it.
At this point, Zhang Yang finally became interested. Any building that could still preserve some ruins after the attack of the demigod might be the target he was looking for.
"Pass the order, everyone gather here."
Zhang Yang gave the order, but at this moment he suddenly felt something. He looked up at the sky and saw thousands of blood-feathered birdmen suddenly rushing out from the dark clouds. However, their target was not Zhang Yang and his team, but the huge ruins in front of them. Because there was an intact building in the middle of the ruins, and it was the only intact building. It was an altar built with some strange material.
Thousands of blood-feathered birdmen fell headfirst and all crashed into the altar and died. In an instant, countless lights and shadows turned into talismans, and strange power was everywhere. In the center of the altar, a Netherworld Bone Dragon was summoned.
Zhang Yang suddenly smiled, not because he saw an old acquaintance, but because he thought of the situation of the war.
Yun Chuzi is the former god and the master of this world. He has unique advantages, so he can command the blood-feathered birdmen in the Heavenly Palace to take control of the situation.
Qing Fengzi occupies Chungui City, which is equivalent to having a base, so he can also stay calm.
He alone had nothing and could only search everywhere for opportunities.
But now, Yun Chuzi actually summoned out the Nether Bone Dragon whose injuries had not yet healed in such a panic, which was enough to show that he was very anxious and was planning some important plan. In this plan, this ruined altar hidden in the Great Rift Valley was definitely irreplaceable.
"We are not in a hurry. Let's set up camp here and see what my cheap senior brother is planning."
Zhang Yang thought for a moment, and finally did not choose to attack head-on, even though he was now at least 70% sure that he could kill this Nether Bone Dragon.
The reason is that his physical strength has reached the Golden Core Realm, and can withstand the more powerful sword formations released by his true soul. Just like his physical strength was less than A+ before, but he could still deal damage above S level, his true soul is extremely powerful.
With the complete version of the Seal of the Sword Soul and the Seal of the Sword Heart, he is already able to confront this Nether Bone Dragon head-on. In other words, he can hold the bone dragon back, and the rest of the people can just output as much as they want.
However, Zhang Yang did not intend to reveal his cards so quickly, and he was not afraid of delaying time. After all, he still had a friendly army. Chungui City would develop faster and faster. When Qingfengzi dealt with the wild boar demon, he would definitely go to the Heavenly Palace, which was Yun Chuzi's lair.
In this situation, the one who was really anxious was Yun Chuzi, not Zhang Yang.
Being able to tie down part of Yun Chuzi's power in this way and keep the situation stalemate here is worthwhile for the time being.
As expected, Zhang Yang did not take the initiative to attack the ruins altar, and the Nether Bone Dragon had no intention of leaving the ruins altar. The two sides just stared at each other in a stalemate.
That's not true either.
Because Zhang Yang is extremely busy.
Mining, quenching, building cities, practicing, erecting monuments, it looks like they are determined to stay here.
So far, the four reincarnated sword cultivators have successfully tempered five hundred kilograms of black iron, and Zhang Yang then built a sword for each of them. For a sword cultivator with a sword, it is like a tiger finally having teeth. Not only has their combat power increased exponentially, but they can also arrange more and more complex sword formations.
The sword formation has a better bonus for destroying and conquering fixed targets, such as certain buildings.
That's right, it was so blatant. Zhang Yang planned to use a long-range sword formation to harass. If you have the guts, you can let the skull dragon fly over to hit me! On the third day, a large amount of gray mist rose around the altar, and it also carried a fishy and cold smell. This did not belong to this world at all, but Zhang Yang was very familiar with it.
"The Abyss Demon Clan? The god who took over Yun Chuzi's body is from the Abyss Demon Clan?"
He immediately knew what this altar could bring to the world, that is, countless demon armies! Because every god is not alone, they all have their own civilization. Although Zhang Yang calls himself a lonely ghost, if he really becomes a god and gains a foothold in the fourth sequence, he will also immigrate to Earth.
“Boom!”
A huge sound was heard, and a crack appeared in the middle of the earth, like a giant eye. At the deepest part was raging flames and magma, as well as a dense army of demons.
“Ouch!”
The Nether Bone Dragon also flew up at this moment, its roar full of disdain and teasing, what a stupid human being.
"Let's carve out a future for ourselves right here!"
Zhang Yang was not frightened. He just excitedly pulled out the war flag and stuck it into the ground. His voice was full of passion and thunder. He was eager for such a battle! Seeing that the bone dragon was hovering in the sky but not participating in the battle, Zhang Yang suppressed his will to fight. The most urgent task now was to complete the mission of the war flag.
At this time, as the demon army rushed out of the ground, the entire world was soon filled with these demon army, and then surged in from all directions like a landslide and tsunami. With such power, no matter how strong the conventional force was, it would be of no use because there were too many enemies.
However, when these demon soldiers were about to approach, a series of Mountain, River, Sun, Moon and Demon-Slaying Stele tablets carrying the majestic true meaning of mountains, rivers, sun and moon appeared out of thin air and turned into towering stone tablets hundreds of feet high.
Yes, this Mountains, Rivers, Sun, Moon and Demon-Slaying Monument does not have to be engraved on a stone tablet. It only needs to exist in the void and can be triggered at any time.
For a moment, even though the demon army was overwhelming, at least half of them were intercepted.
Once this kind of Mountains, Rivers, Sun and Moon Demon-Slaying Monument is formed, it will be like the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, with extremely high defensive properties that cannot be easily broken.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Four sword formations were then activated, all arranged near the Mountains, Rivers, Sun and Moon Demon-Slaying Monument. Those demon soldiers who could not be intercepted were immediately strangled to pieces as soon as they stepped into the sword formations.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yang only has four reincarnated swordsmen under his command, so these four sword formations can only operate at 30% of their power. If there are even too many demon soldiers, they will have to let them go.
But even so, the killing progress on the war flag has reached 500+ per second, and this does not include those demon soldiers whose strength is not up to the mission standards.
After passing these two levels, the demon soldiers immediately faced their final doom. Seventeen Silent Ones and sixteen Destroyers attacked at the same time. Now they have replaced their weapons and equipment again. Although the quality is not very good, all of them are of the stupid, big, black and rough type.
For example, the giant shield weighing two thousand pounds in the hands of the Silent One, the giant axe weighing eight hundred pounds, and the mace weighing three thousand pounds in the hands of the Destroyer, even if they are not made of black iron, can still cause heavy casualties when they hit others.
Occasionally, there would be some fish that slip through the net and be killed by the ten forbidden knights.
As for Zhang Yang and the fourteen Destroyer captains, the former was staring at the Nether Bone Dragon in the sky, while the latter were staring at the possible masters who might appear in the Demon Legion. Once discovered, they would be killed immediately.
"It's thirty thousand. I only need three more minutes to complete my mission. Can't you get down? Otherwise, you won't have a chance."
Zhang Yang completely ignored everything around him, as if his actual soul realm was locking onto the Nether Bone Dragon from afar, with the ancient demon language in his mouth: shock. In his left hand he held the complete version of the Sword Soul Seal, and in his right hand he held the complete version of the Sword Heart Seal. The swords behind him were humming. As long as the Nether Bone Dragon dared to fall from a height of one thousand meters, he would dare to severely injure it in an instant like Qing Fengzi did. Moreover, his soul realm would spread a large net and would never give it a chance to escape again.
“Ouch!”
The bone dragon suddenly became a little annoyed because it didn't want to rush down, but the power that summoned it kept urging it.
The demon army was suffering terrible casualties every moment. Although the demon soldiers were fearless, it didn't make sense to summon them with so much effort and then just send them to the door to chop melons and vegetables! This was the only demon civilization left in its faith. This was the key to its resurrection. It was originally planned to recuperate and reproduce nearby. How could it die so easily here?
“Ouch!”
The Nether Bone Dragon circled again and began to dive down, because it seemed as if there was a pair of majestic eyes in the dark clouds scolding it, and it had to surrender.
However, despite this, it still subconsciously chose the mountains, rivers, sun, moon and demon-slaying monuments as its targets. Just one strike, just one strike, and that great and unspeakable existence would be dead. It only needed to complete this summoning to erase the mark of the gods on its body, and then it would be free.
Why can those human ants, who clearly have the same mark of the gods on their bodies, ignore the majesty of the gods? Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then, a sense of crisis suddenly descended, and the shadow of death immediately enveloped him, as if -
The skull dragon could no longer recall this scene. When it dived to a depth of one thousand meters, Zhang Yang presented all his cards without hesitation.
"Ancient Demon Language: Shock!"
"Seal of the Sword Soul!"
"Sword Heart Seal!"
“KANG!”
Swords are unsheathed, wild dragon and snake sword formation! The spiritual realm is blocked!
The five methods were used at once, leaving no room for the bone dragon to resist or dodge, especially since its true soul strength was only 20%, which was far from Zhang Yang's 100% true soul. Therefore, it could not even sense the murderous aura on Zhang Yang.
In one second, everything was settled.
But the splendid process only reappears at this moment like a glimpse of light.
The entire battlefield, and even the area within hundreds of miles around, was illuminated as bright as day by the explosion of the Sword Soul Seal and the Sword Heart Seal. The dark clouds in the sky were pierced with thousands or tens of thousands of holes.
A gust of wind blew by, and what appeared in the sky was not the blue sky and the sun, but a dark palace of unknown size hanging hundreds of thousands of meters in the sky.
But Zhang Yang had no intention to observe at this moment. He hit the bone dragon hard with one blow. Since the opponent was summoned, it was about to disappear immediately, but was intercepted by his spiritual domain. Now it was like a big fish struggling wildly in it.
"Strangle!"
Zhang Yang did not hold back at all. After a few seconds, a white bone bead fell into his hand, but almost at the same time, he bent down, bleeding from all seven orifices, and twitching all over, as if all his bones were broken.
This was the consequence of him using his physical strength at the Golden Core stage to release the complete Sword Soul Seal and Sword Heart Seal at the same time.
But it's still worth it.
When Zhang Yang was lying on the ground coughing up blood, the mission of the Thousand Cavalry Raid of the War Banner was finally completed. At the moment of the death of the Nether Bone Dragon, the demon army began to retreat like a tide, but one Nether Bone Dragon increased the mission progress by 50,000 points.
"Lift me up, chase me, chase me in!"
Zhang Yang was still sober at this moment. He knew how much he had gained from this battle, and also knew how serious the consequences would be. His injuries would not heal in a short time. After all, Yun Chuzi was the boss of this world, and he did not have a big shot like Qing Fengzi. So if he did not take this opportunity to charge into the heart of the demon clan's civilization and survive, when would he wait?
