Chapter 671: Music Thirteen, Sixth Final Realm
This news was earth-shattering, plunging the entire City Lord's Mansion into silence, as if it were dead.
When they came to their senses, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
Jianlong Pass, the first pass on the Eastern Territory's border, was actually breached?!
The Ancestral Dragon's message, written in dragon blood, symbolizes a breakthrough, but...how is this possible?!
"How could Jianlong Pass be breached? We haven't even received a call for help yet. Could it be a surprise attack?"
This sudden bolt from the blue made everyone's hair stand on end and feel terrified.
On the battlefield, things change rapidly and anything can happen, but this bad news is too shocking.
"Quick, send someone to see Longguan and confirm the information!"
After being stunned for a moment, Long Potian came to his senses and spoke hurriedly.
Others also reacted and quickly arranged for sentries to go and investigate.
Not long after, news came back from Jianlong Pass. Among the team of sentinels sent out, only one escaped. As soon as he came back, he ordered an emergency blockade of the teleportation array and destroyed the teleportation anchor point of the Jianlong Pass passage!
The news was immediately transmitted back to the City Lord's Mansion. When Long Potian received the report from the sentry, it was a horrific scene of despair and despair. The solemn and iron-blooded Jianlong Pass, the city that had stood for countless years, had now become ruins!
The towering city walls, tens of thousands of feet high, were cracked with shocking holes, which were terrifying.
There were huge footprints on the ground, the earth was torn apart, and there were holes in the void that would not heal for a long time. The holes contained the power of nothingness and destruction, which could not be approached. They were like a whirlpool that could swallow up any living creature that approached.
The ground was littered with debris and blood, including the corpses of various tribes in the Eastern Region and a large number of ancient demons.
The most terrifying thing was that the Jianlongguan Divine Dragon Sculpture, which represented the supreme symbol of the Ancestral Dragon lineage, was actually broken. The dragon's head shattered on the ground, the dragon's body was torn apart, and its claws were broken!
You must know that this divine dragon sculpture is an immortal forbidden imperial weapon!
Especially after being stained with the blood of the Ancestral Dragon, it can burst out with power comparable to that of the Immortal Emperor!
At this time, the sculpture was actually broken and the imperial weapon was destroyed!
"What happened?"
Long Potian was shocked and couldn't believe it. He felt as if his heart was trembling. Although there were frequent wars on the border, he had never encountered such a heavy blow in all these years!
Jianlong Pass, as the first pass in the Eastern Region, has only been breached three times. The first time was the Battle of Duanjie Mountain, which was an extremely long time ago.
The second was the ancient demon war, and the third was an ancient demon surprise attack fifty thousand years ago.
And now, it has appeared for the fourth time!
"Jianlong Pass is guarded by the Great Emperor of the Zhulong Clan and nine Quasi-Emperors. How could it be..."
Long Potian was a little dazed. The pass was breached, and the key point was that they didn't even receive a message for help. This showed how fierce the attack was!
Just when they were in a state of confusion, suddenly, a loud dragon roar pierced the sky, extending from the void along some power beyond the law. The dragon roar intimidated the heaven and earth, and looking around the sky, it was the power from the Ancestral Dragon Court of the Eastern Region.
The dragon roar broke through the air, descended into the city lord's mansion, and turned into a ancestral dragon order.
The order from the Ancestral Dragon Court came from the Ancestral Dragon Order:
"Jianlong Pass has been breached, and the Candle Dragon Emperor is seriously injured. He is leading the four Quasi-Emperors and all the soldiers at Jianlong Pass to retreat to the Hundred Cities Defense Line. With Zulong City as their base, they will engage in a decisive battle with the ancient demon. All cities must provide all their reinforcements and fight to the death!"
When the whisper from the Ancestral Dragon was heard, Long Potian and others were all stunned. This meant that Jianlong Pass was really broken, the sentinel's news was true, and the Candle Dragon Emperor was actually seriously injured. He was an Immortal Emperor who might not personally take action in many battles. This time he was seriously injured and could only abandon Jianlong Pass and retreat to the second line of defense.
"What about the spies among the ancient demons? How come they don't have any information at all? The ancient demons suddenly launched such a campaign, it must be that the emperor among the ancient demons has also been dispatched!"
Long Potian's face was filled with surprise and his mind was a little confused. He knew that the elders in the Zulong Court would not sit idly by and most of them had already rushed to Zulong City to provide assistance.
The border war took a sudden turn for the worse, with such heavy casualties, which seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen!
"Quick, dispatch the troops and send reinforcements to Zulong City!"
Long Potian quickly ordered.
Qingxuan nodded, his face extremely solemn, and even cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
He gave orders quickly, but when dispatching the troops, some figures emerged in his mind. He immediately reminded the dispatched troops to avoid those people.
After all, the casualty rate of this reinforcement was extremely high, so it would be better to leave some seeds in Longmen City.
…
See Dragon outside the Pass.
In the darkness of the empty starry sky, a group of figures stood there. Among them, three figures were the most majestic, standing quietly like three mountains. The power emanating from their bodies made the entire void seem to condense, and time and space were cut off and would not flow, as if stagnant outside the world.
This means that one can live forever in such stagnant time and space.
The place where they are is the eternal realm.
In addition to the three figures, there was a group of figures of varying heights standing beside them. Among them, there was a figure with a graceful figure and cold and sharp eyes. Although his body was the terrifying figure of an ancient demon, his eyes were bright and moving like autumn water. Although his eyes were cold, they had a kind of beautiful feeling.
"Xueyao, the reincarnation fragments you brought back this time are your greatest achievement!"
Suddenly, one of the towering figures whispered, his voice was vicissitudes of life and gentle, with a kind and gentle feeling, like a majestic and loving elder.
"Father, it's all your help, otherwise Xueyao wouldn't be able to cross the Southern Territory and return to the family."
The ancient demon with eyes like autumn water whispered softly.
If Li Hao were here, he would immediately recognize the voice as the ancient demon he once knew, Mi Xueyao.
"Xueyao is truly a rare child. If it weren't for her, our five clans wouldn't have reconciled. Now that half of the Gate of Samsara has been reforged, the other five clans are unwilling to unite. Once we conquer the Eastern Region and establish Samsara here, they will naturally come."
Another towering figure said, his voice as rough as rock, but with a smile.
"The myriad races of this True Realm have lived in peace and comfort for too many years. It's time for them to feel terror again."
Another figure said calmly, his words exuding a cold indifference.
Beside them, other ancient demons of varying heights were all silent. They were all the top powerful ones among the ancient demons, or the royal bloodlines of various tribes.
They have never shown mercy to the myriad races of the Real Realm, treating them like pigs and dogs, just like a pond of fish, with crucian carp, carp, and black carp, there are just more varieties, and there is not much difference.
"Emperor Niejing and Emperor Dushi have already broken through. It's time for us to capture the next city. The old Dragon King of the Ancestral Dragon Court must have recovered by now. Everyone, be careful. The emperors of other territories will most likely not stand idly by. This is our second declaration of war in the past 100,000 years!"
The ancient demon said in a low voice as loud as rocks.
His skeleton was hideous and unlike other ancient demons, he seemed to have no flesh and blood, just bones, which looked extremely rough, and some bones were as sharp as knives.
In addition to bones, there are also many chains and terrifying weapons extending from its body, such as iron hooks, saw blades, spikes, etc.
Just its terrifying body alone gives people a suffocating feeling.
It was as if it would be endlessly decomposed and fall into unimaginable pain.
He is one of the ten royal families of the ancient demons, the Xinggu clan.
Beside him, there were several smaller but towering Xinggu clan warriors. Among them was a genius of royal blood, covered in chains with sharp barbs at the end, and behind him were curved sharp knives like spider claws, stretched out at will, looking extremely terrifying and weird.
Compared with the Xinggu tribe, Mi Xueyao, dressed in black, is undoubtedly "pretty and lovely".
As a member of the Yama clan, she is the one whose appearance is closest to that of humans among the ten clans.
"Destroy the Eastern Region!"
Mi Xueyao's father, Emperor Yama, also spoke slowly and low at this time.
Hearing her father's words, Mi Xueyao looked ahead and saw that the pass ahead was already in jeopardy, the city was in ruins, and corpses were scattered all over the ground. The remaining soldiers were still trying to hold on, but they became a post-war meal for their army.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, a figure flashed through Mi Xueyao's mind.
The human race... She originally had no feelings or sympathy towards the human race. Like other ancient demons, she looked at the human race like insects.
But at the border of a certain immortal dynasty in the southern region, she was rescued by the human race and lived with them for several months... Those insects were not only good at screaming and fighting, but also had that noble indifference and composure.
When she thought of the young man, she thought of his amazing cooking ability. He could use the ancient demons as food to quickly extract strength and enhance his soul.
After she returned, she looked for many chefs from the Ancient Demon Clan in her tribe. Unfortunately, they were not so picky about food and drink, but only about ingredients. When it came to cooking... they only insisted on the simplest methods.
Although the chefs in the royal family have become very skilled in cooking, they are still far from being able to extract the power to enhance the soul from the flesh and blood of the ancient demon.
She later looked for some divine chefs from the human race, but they also failed to do the same. The best one among them spent countless divine medicines and several years of effort to cook an ancient demon at the Immortal King level, but could only barely nourish and improve its soul a little bit... The effect was too poor and it was not cost-effective at all.
Now hundreds of years have passed, and no one knows where that young man is now, how many ancient demons he has eaten, and what level of spiritual cultivation he has reached.
Since the end of the Southern Territory War, she had never seen the young man again and had lost track of his whereabouts, so she returned to her family alone.
"Now, perhaps it's time to reach the perfection of the Immortal Lord Realm..."
She murmured in her heart, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Although she knew that the young man would cook his own people, their ancient demon clan not only looked down on all other races, but also looked down on other ancient demon races. They all regarded their own race as the most noble and supreme, and did not have much sympathy for their own people.
Perhaps, their race is born to lack emotions.
That's why he is so powerful and can sweep across all races in the real world.
"Let's go. They didn't have time to react to the surprise attack at Jianlong Pass. This second pass won't be so easy, but fortunately, we have already made preparations in advance."
Another towering figure spoke coldly. His entire body was pitch black, like a burnt corpse, but black flames were floating in the cracks of his flesh. The flames did not emit high temperatures, but instead made people feel extremely cold, or perhaps extremely hot, making it difficult to distinguish between heat and cold.
"You all, lead your troops and set off!"
Yama Emperor ordered.
The many figures around nodded.
Mi Xueyao also bowed slightly and nodded, saying, "Father, I'm going too!"
"Don't take any risks. Be careful of reinforcements from other domains."
Emperor Yama said gently.
Mi Xueyao nodded, and then her figure flashed and flew forward quickly.
…
In Longmen City.
Dragon Shield, seventh floor, first floor.
In the mountain spring at the top of the mountain, Li Hao slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were gray-silver, and had a hollow feeling, yet seemed to contain thousands of flawless silver lights.
"sound……"
A hundred years of contemplation in the extreme way, plus ten years of seclusion in Longmen City.
At this moment, Li Hao finally had an epiphany.
The sound path is seamless!
Tao says, the highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention.
Water is the softest, but when it freezes into ice it is the sharpest.
And sound is even more terrifying. It can penetrate water and rock.
Something that is waterproof may not be soundproof. Sound is rhythm and vibration. Everything has sound, and once it resonates, it can be transmitted.
"Music... penetrates everything, penetrates the void, penetrates all surfaces, and reaches the depths of the soul!"
"It penetrates everywhere, everything is pierced, and the sound of heaven permeates the void..."
Li Hao murmured to himself.
A panel prompt popped up in front of him.
[Comprehension of the 'Empty Heart State', the Musical Dao has been elevated to the thirteenth level! ]
The shackles were removed, and countless insights flooded into his heart. Li Hao sat in the mountain spring, but he felt connected to the entire mountain. The way of music made him feel that he himself was also a music that could penetrate everything, penetrate the heaven and earth, and be closely connected with all things!
And this feeling is just like becoming an immortal!
To become an immortal is to merge the body into the heaven and earth, and to disperse the consciousness into the heaven and earth, achieving a delicate balance between form and dispersion.
Li Hao had already mastered the ultimate state of becoming an immortal. At this moment in his state of mind, his feelings were even deeper, and the feeling of becoming an immortal seemed to be enhanced tenfold or a hundredfold.
Once, he vaguely touched the deepest part of heaven and earth, the majestic will.
That is Tianzun!
Becoming an immortal is the highest level, and becoming a heavenly master is the end!
At this moment, while Li Hao was comprehending the state of mind of musical emptiness, his consciousness was also infinitely integrated into the heaven and earth, like the strongest sound, touching the deepest part of the heaven and earth.
He had barely touched the power of the Heavenly Venerable before and could feel it vaguely. Now, he could actually feel that there was a power in the deepest part of the world, as if it was the way of heaven, but it was different from the power of the way of heaven that he felt on the way to heaven.
The way of heaven that one feels on the way to heaven is supreme, yet it seems to have living emotions.
But the Heavenly Lord he felt at this moment seemed like the truth of the operation of the universe, the order of all things, cold, supreme, but without the slightest emotion, indifferent and majestic, motionless and unmoving.
"What...is this existence?"
Li Hao felt a trembling sensation all over his body.
This Heavenly Lord seemed to be an existence on par with the Heaven, without any emotion, yet extremely terrifying.
