Chapter 668: War
After Li Hao and Shi Miao arrived in Longmen City, they lived their lives as usual, each practicing their own cultivation.
Occasionally, Shi Miao would come to the first floor to visit Li Hao. When he saw that Li Hao was immersed in his practice, he would sit quietly beside him for a while and then leave without disturbing him.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the city was no longer as peaceful as elsewhere. It was covered with dark clouds, and there was a constant sense of solemnity and a fishy smell in the air.
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the mountain spring at the top of the peak, a jade harp condensed from the spring water in front of Li Hao's eyes. He gently stroked the harp, and the melody vibrated, stirring up thousands of silk threads. These silk threads were the flow of many laws. Every sound wave contained the power of many laws and had extremely strong lethality.
"Just a little bit more..."
Li Hao could feel that he was only one step away from reaching the bottleneck of the thirteenth stage.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the mountain shook and a dragon roar was heard from high in the sky.
Li Hao looked up and saw a golden dragon soul shadow flying in the sky and quickly approaching the top of the mountain.
"The host has summoned us. Please assemble immediately."
The phantom of the Dragon Soul spoke at a rapid speed, and at the same time a golden passage appeared behind him, running through the entire Dragon Shield Building and reaching the roof.
Li Hao's heart trembled, knowing that there was probably a war, otherwise the host would not easily disturb others from practicing and recuperating.
He didn't say much and quickly got up from the spring. When he put on his clothes, he saw a figure rushing towards him from the void. It was Shi Miao.
The other party has the building number of his floor and can enter and exit freely.
"The host has summoned me. I think there's an ancient demon invading."
Shi Miao approached Li Hao, his eyes stern as he spoke quickly, "When we go into battle, remember to stay by my side and don't take any risks. A war of this magnitude is no small matter. The strong among the ancient demons might launch a surprise attack, crushing the dazzling and difficult bones. Only by restraining your edge can you survive longer."
Li Hao knew that she was worried about his safety and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Shi Miao nodded, and then the two of them followed the golden light to the rooftop.
When the two arrived, they saw that the other seven people were already there, and their eyes were all on the two of them, especially Li Hao.
Li Hao could feel the solemnity and worry in their eyes. Obviously, he was the weak link here.
"There's an enemy attack, it's quite large, prepare to go into battle."
Long Ying looked around and said in a deep voice.
Duan Yuan and the others all nodded. They were already fully armed and wearing immortal helmets and armor.
"This time, we have to take on the responsibility of the Kunlong Army in addition to the previous Kanlong Army."
Long Ying said in a serious tone, "The range is larger, which means we have to activate the Liuhe Dragon Scale Formation to its full potential in order to hold them all back!"
"The Kunlong Army will also belong to us?"
Duan Yuan and the others' expressions changed slightly. Liu Li asked in surprise, "Could it be that something happened to the Dragon Shield Tower?"
"That's not the case. We have other tasks to perform, so we have to take on more responsibilities."
Long Ying shook his head, his gaze falling on Li Hao. He said, "Brother Haotian, although you have mastered the formation, you are only at the first level of the Immortal King Realm after all. Your own strength is too weak. I applied for this Exploding World Pill, which can temporarily elevate you to the second level of the Immortal King Realm. However, there will be some sequelae afterwards, and it will also have a high consumption of lifespan. You..."
Before he could finish, the pill in his hand, which was emitting a purple-black light, was knocked over by a strong force.
Shi Miao said coldly: "I'll take his share. This kind of thing is impossible to eat!"
Long Ying opened his mouth slightly, then gave a bitter smile. He also realized that it was impossible for these Immortal Emperor's disciples to take such elixirs. After all, once swallowed, in addition to the problems he mentioned, it would also cause cracks in the realm, which would affect their cultivation and improvement.
The others also knew this, but no one forced Li Hao to do anything. If they were in his place, they would not be willing to swallow this thing unless it was a life-or-death situation.
"In that case, Brother Haotian, you will be responsible for the dragon's tail. Shi Miao, your combat power exceeds Duan Yuan. I will be responsible for the dragon's head, and you will be responsible for the sky claws!" said Long Ying.
Shi Miao frowned and wanted to refuse, as this would put her too far away from Li Hao. But before she could say anything, Li Hao sent her a message: "Let it be. Since we are here to train, we should focus on killing the ancient demon. Otherwise, if I become a burden, it would be meaningless."
Hearing Li Hao say this, Shi Miao glanced at him and saw the fighting spirit and decisiveness in Li Hao's eyes. She immediately understood that this young man's heart was not only concerned about his own safety, but also about the great love of compassion for the world.
"Then be careful."
Shi Miao said.
She knew that Li Hao had that set of top-notch immortal armor, plus the End Immortal Sword, so his ability to survive was not low, even higher than that of other people in the building. If something really happened, she would still have time to reinforce him. Otherwise, she would not be willing to leave even if she went against Li Hao's words.
Buzz!
At this time, a vast dragon roar came from outside the building, like the mooing of a cow, or the roar of a tiger from the deep sea, low and powerful.
The dragon raised his hand, dispelling the barrier within the building. The walls seemed to become transparent, revealing the scene outside. The towering Longmen City was dotted with countless skyscrapers, and between these peak-like buildings, figures darted out. Some revealed their true forms, carrying a monstrous ghostly aura, while others were various forms of dragons.
They looked like mutated dragons. Some looked like crawling lizards with wings on their backs. Some were fat like goats but covered with scales. Others looked like giant crocodiles but had sharp horns and dragon tails on their heads. They were crocodile dragons.
In the Eastern Region, the vast majority of the races are demons, but they also belong to the myriad races of the True Realm. The number of humans here is extremely small, and these demon races, under the suppression of the Ancestral Dragon Court, do not have any internal strife. When the ancient demons invaded, they took on the responsibility of guarding the Eastern Region. After all, the Eastern Region and the True Realm are their home.
"Everyone is out, it's our turn now."
Looking at the countless streams of light flying towards the battlefield outside the city, Long Ying said in a serious tone.
Li Hao had participated in wars elsewhere before, including on the border of the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, but the battlefield on that border was obviously not as strong as this place, nor was it the largest front-line battlefield facing the outside world.
The magnificent scene before him at this moment made Li Hao feel shocked. All races rushed to the outside of the city to fight with the ancient demon.
I wonder what the battlefield would have been like a hundred thousand years ago?
Li Hao felt the blood surging in his body. He summoned the immortal armor and put it on.
Although this set of top-level domain equipment cannot release its full power at this time, anyone with a discerning eye can feel its extraordinary nature and the terrifying power it contains.
Long Ying and others looked at Li Hao and knew that he was a direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor and must have a life-saving treasure. This domain weapon would definitely not be too bad.
"Walk!"
The dragon shadow whispered, and its body suddenly turned, turning into a golden ancestral dragon. It soared into the sky with a dragon roar.
Duan Yuan and others transformed into their original forms one after another, without hiding their aura at all, and flew behind the dragon shadow.
Li Hao and Shi Miao were not left behind and they all chased after him.
Following the thousands of buildings in the city that were like mountains, the nine of them arrived at Longmen City. Looking around, they saw that outside the city was already a hot battlefield. In the sky ahead, dark clouds gathered, and in them were countless ancient demons. Most of them were ancient demons from the true fairyland. They were huge in size, and the aura they exuded was extremely ferocious, giving off a natural sense of oppression.
At this time, countless figures were standing on the city wall, all of them were soldiers rushing here.
Inside the city, there were a large number of soldiers from various ethnic groups, lined up in various places, forming a large formation.
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, a terrifying black meteor from the ancient demon came crashing down and hit Longmen City.
A barrier appeared on the city wall, with dragon patterns coiling around it, blocking the black meteor attack.
“The momentum this time is quite strong!”
When Long Ying saw this scene, his eyes became extremely solemn.
Duan Yuan and the others also felt that the ancient demon's formation was quite powerful, and they all looked solemn.
Not far away, golden light suddenly shot out from the city, like golden rain of fire, falling towards the ancient demon.
A dark cloud suddenly condensed from the ancient demon, blocking the golden rain of light. Then, a huge arm condensed from black aura appeared. He clenched his fist. The arm was tens of thousands of miles thick. He raised it high and punched towards the barrier on Longmen City.
With a loud bang, the barrier on the city was shaken, countless golden lights collapsed, and some dragon patterns also dissipated and dimmed.
“So strong!”
On the city wall, many people's faces changed color. Among the ancient demons, there was a terrifying and powerful one at the high level of the Immortal King realm.
"This is the aura of perfection in the Immortal King realm."
Shi Miao's face was solemn. At this moment, she was unable to fight against the Immortal King.
After all, that is already the highest point of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
"Dragon Blade Tower has taken action!"
Long Ying suddenly said.
Suddenly, nine huge ancestral dragons appeared above the city wall nearby. The bodies of the ancestral dragons were tens of thousands of miles long and wide, and were condensed by the military formation. The hairs fluttered between the scales, and the divine light bloomed.
At this time, the nine-headed ancestral dragons all spewed out scorching true dragon flames towards the battlefield ahead.
It was a silver-grey flame, emitting a breath of annihilation, spraying into the group of ancient demons through the barrier.
This is not some kind of magic, but the power of hundreds of thousands of true immortals gathered in the body of the Nine-headed Ancestral Dragon. By burning the immortal power, it is transformed into a pure killing move with extremely pure destructive power.
On the battlefield, many fancy magic techniques may not be effective. This is a place where blood is paid for blood. The most terrifying magic power, the Silent Burning Technique, is even more difficult to resist.
This kind of tactics can only be performed by military formations. Once a person lets his own immortal power burn, he will die before he kills the enemy.
But in a military formation, the power of hundreds of thousands of True Immortals can be gathered and transformed into this terrifying tactic, which causes almost no damage to the group. Of course, unless the battle reaches an extreme and is repeatedly used to overdraw, the terrible side effects will be revealed.
As the True Dragon's annihilating flames swept across, the dark clouds in the ancient demon formation were immediately pierced. Some ancient demons in the front screamed, and even though they used the bloodline techniques of the ancient demon clan, they were unable to withstand it and were reduced to ashes in an instant.
As casualties continued, a large amount of black gas suddenly surged out of the ancient demon and condensed into a head as big as a skull. It opened its mouth and sucked away the true dragon annihilation flame released by an ancestral dragon formation, as if eating it.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded in the city. The sound shook the heaven and earth, like thunder out of nowhere.
Immediately afterwards, a shadow emerged from the sky above the battlefield. It was a huge dragon claw. It slapped towards the huge skull and actually pinched it directly, pressing it to the ground from high altitude. The earth roared, and the skull was also crushed to death.
"The Ancestral Dragon Clan's world-suppressing Dragon Claw, it was the City Lord who made the move!"
When Long Ying saw this scene, his eyes lit up with joy.
Without the skull, the rest of the true dragons were spewing out flames, causing considerable casualties in the ancient demon formation, and the wailing screams of many ancient demons could be heard.
Before Li Hao and the others could show any joy, suddenly, a condensed black gas from the ancient demon suddenly crashed into the barrier on the city.
The black gas stretched out from the group of ancient demons like a finger, and seemed to poke fiercely. The barrier covering the million-mile boundary wall seemed to be shaken violently. The countless golden patterns on it shook violently, and then suddenly shattered.
The barrier of Longmen City was broken!
Seeing this scene, many people's faces changed. Long Ying's face also changed slightly. He said: "It's broken faster than before. This time the attack is more fierce. Everyone, you have to hold on!"
There are three barriers in Longmen City. One is the outermost city, the second is to protect the city, and the third is the inner city.
Usually in a war, under the fierce attack of both sides, the outer city barrier will be broken. Before the second barrier, countless soldiers in the city will defend to the death, and will only retreat to the inner city in the most critical situation.
"It's our Dragon Shield Building's turn to protect the Kunlong Army and the Canlong Army!"
Long Ying shouted, "Form a formation!"
Duan Yuan and the others roared together and released the Liuhe Dragon Scale Formation. Golden light emerged from each other's bodies. Their immortal power turned into the foundation of the formation. The formations released by each other quickly resonated and merged into one.
Shi Miao also raised his hand and released the formation, integrating into the formation.
Li Hao released his immortal power and quickly sketched out the formation. The formation then emerged, and he merged into it and came to the tail of the dragon.
Behind them was a huge army, consisting of people of various ethnic groups. Their true forms were exposed and had strange shapes, but on different parts of their bodies, there were the army camp names and the characters "Kan" or "Kun" engraved on them.
Among them, there were several large flags fluttering in the wind, which boosted the morale of the troops.
Along with the dragon's roar, the nine people transformed into the Liuhe Dragon Scale Formation, which enveloped the two massive armies.
In an instant, Li Hao felt that when these people entered the formation, their immortal power seemed to be integrated into the formation, and they felt that they could circulate and help each other.
"kill!"
Accompanied by countless roars, the ancient demon army in front also rushed forward in a mighty force.
On the city wall, countless figures rushed out and fought their way outside the wall. Both sides roared earth-shakingly, a hundred thousand times louder than thunder.
In this vast battlefield, Li Hao felt that the large formation formed by the nine of them, including the two armies they covered, seemed to be only a small part of it, extremely inconspicuous, not to mention an individual, who was like an ant or dust and could not be seen at all.
kill!
The two armies also formed their own battle formations, transforming into two ferocious dragons, with limbs like molten iron and extremely strong bodies, rushing towards the battlefield.
The Liuhe Dragon Scale Formation and the Barbarian Dragon Army Formation complement each other, forming a sharp force that kills into the group of ancient demons.
And within the group of ancient demons, the Yama Ghost Formation was also condensed, transforming into a giant black ghost with a hideous face. It was condensed by hundreds of thousands of true immortal ancient demons, and seemed to crawl out of the abyss, waving its arms to slap Li Hao and others.
"Dragon Rebellion!"
The dragon shadow growled and calmly controlled the formation. The dragon scales on the golden dragon body transformed by the nine people suddenly stood up and fought back.
The Yama Ghost Formation formed by hundreds of thousands of ancient demons has such destructive power that even low-level Immortal Kings can hardly withstand it. This is the horror of the formation.
As the black giant ghost swung its arm, the dragon scales were cut and the opponent was obviously injured. At this time, the two wild dragons in the formation rushed out and bit the black giant ghost, biting out balls of black air. The edge of the formation was immediately broken, and an ancient demon was pulled out and smashed directly.
Li Hao stayed at the tail of the dragon with the dragon's body in front. He had not really exerted his strength yet, but he had enough strength at this time. He swept his eyes towards the battlefield and saw huge figures everywhere formed by military formations marching and fighting on the battlefield. The military formations could multiply the collective strength by several times or even ten times.
With the help of these military formations, hundreds of thousands of true immortals can kill the Immortal King!
If there were no military formation, even if the Immortal King was sleeping there, no True Immortal would be able to harm him in the slightest.
After countless years of fighting, these military formations have obviously been studied to perfection.
Li Hao was now in the battlefield, with shaking roars and shouts in his ears. Countless laws collapsed, and the power of the realm enveloped him, but was torn apart in the blink of an eye. In such a battlefield, the Immortal King realm seemed to be a flash in the pan.
Suddenly, a giant black ghost rushed from the side and attacked the dragon's tail.
