Lanhuadis 62
The oath to protect the Eastern Region and protect our king spread from the front line all the way to the civilian area, to the royal court, and to the core of the Holy Vine, into the ears of the young man sitting on the throne woven with vines.
He didn't open his eyes, but a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
"A bunch of idiots..."
The golden sword on his knees became brighter and brighter, and the clamorous feeling of fighting against Tianxiao was almost overflowing.
-
Not far from the temple, in a tree hole.
The white crow looked at the hexagram on the ground tremblingly:
The moon doesn't need to be full, just know when to stop.
"I figured it out..."
"There is a glimmer of hope... there is a glimmer of hope!"
Life is short, perhaps only a few days, but as long as it exists, you can look for other opportunities before death.
His eyes lit up as he quickly ran towards the temple: "Erigalan! I figured it out!"
-
Tianxi did not send down another clone.
Outside the civilian area, there is a sparsely populated and most empty place.
Carlos, Xilting, more than a dozen Yang Realm people with five patterns or above, a hundred Moon Realm royals, and tribesmen or warriors who were not royals but had reached the Yang Realm in terms of mental strength were all gathered here.
Carmichael and Dorothea stayed where they were and are not here.
They sat cross-legged on the ground. According to the rules, the strong ones were in the inner circle, and the weaker ones were in the outer circle.
Wendoline sat in the middle.
A huge sealing seal has been formed.
"I'm not a Nine-Marked One, so I can't absorb the power of the blood array like my father did. I can only use this inferior array to absorb your energy. When the time comes, I will use the Blood Burning Technique to break through the Yang Realm bottleneck with all my strength. Don't hesitate, channel all your mental energy to me."
The blood formation mentioned by Wenduolin sounds a bit eerie, but it is actually a king-assisting formation.
Using hundreds of tribesmen as joints and centers of the formation, absorbing the blood and energy of the tribesmen, just like the blood burning technique, can instantly increase one's own strength.
But as the name suggests, the user of this formation can only be the Nine-Pattern King.
And there are significant restrictions. The core of the blood formation must be a royal family member. The higher the level of the royal family, the greater the auxiliary role they can provide to the king.
When Emperor Felix sealed the Sky Crack, Wen Duolin assisted on the front lines, using this blood formation. She was the core of the formation and personally helped her father break through to the peak of the Void Realm and sealed the Sky Crack.
I also witnessed my father's demise.
The higher the level of mental power, the stronger the seal, and the greater the effect on the sky crack.
Carlos said, "Sister, the Wansen Forest is also making preparations. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't sacrifice your life to strengthen the seal."
Wendoline paused: "I know."
finally--
The sky began to tremble violently, and the giant eye slowly emerged from the sky. All living beings in the Eastern Region felt a deeper fear.
Wen Duolin flew up, and the huge sealing seal slammed into the crack in the sky! But almost instantly, the seal cracked!
She bore the brunt of the impact.
Wen Duolin felt as if all the bones in her body were about to break. The blood burning technique began to evaporate the blood and energy in her body. Even with the support of the formation below, her momentum was still gradually weakening.
After this contact, she finally understood why her father had to sacrifice his life at the peak of the Void Realm.
The monster Tianfeng cannot reach the virtual realm, and it is impossible to stop it without sacrificing one's life!
“Damn it…”
Wen Duolin secretly made a decision, but she seemed to feel something, and her heart suddenly turned cold. Even if she sacrificed her life, it would still be a little short of being able to seal it.
The crack in the sky is getting bigger and bigger.
The giant eye's body became more and more obvious.
The difference between it and its clone is that it has many pupils and the blood-red line behind it is extremely long.
——I can’t hold on any longer!
Time passes slowly.
The tribesmen stopped hiding and came out of their homes.
They gathered in the streets and alleys, cuddling each other, waiting for their fate to come.
Some families, each holding a knife, answered when asked, "This is not about killing the enemy, but about killing ourselves. If the crack in the sky can't be stopped, we as a family would rather die than become monsters."
The old people held their children in their arms, covered their eyes, but did not tell them stories as usual.
"It can't be worse than death," they thought.
Silence, depression, despair, determination...
All kinds of emotions spread under the night sky.
At the moment when the seal was about to break, a golden sword light shot out from somewhere in the royal court, and pierced into one of the pupils of the giant eye with overwhelming force!
“Ahhhh—”
A shrill and unpleasant scream came from the crack in the sky.
The young man grasped the hilt of the sword made of God's blood, twisted it with all his strength, and then quickly escaped!
"I've been making this sword for almost two months now, and I'm giving it to you, ugly creature, as a gift!"
He was wearing the black royal uniform, with red silk covering his eyes. He was wrapped in a thick layer of spiritual power, which was now being continuously consumed by the Heavenly Crack.
The wind is howling!
Under this attack, Wendulin's sealing seal did not dissipate, which bought them a moment of breathing time!
Wen Duolin looked up in surprise: "...Xiao Qi?"
Carlos and the others stood up suddenly: "Xiao Qi?!"
"Your Majesty?!"
"Why is the king here?!"
Despite being panicked, the feeling of despair was swept away by the sudden appearance of the king!
“It’s you…”
'You're not dead yet!'
Tianxiao's mumbling reached his ears, and Ning Ren suddenly remembered that he had heard similar words in the City of Chaos. He suddenly thought of it and replied, "Yes, it's me. You didn't expect that." He imitated the annoying tone of the Guhuo Bird.
The one-eyed monster really has poor eyesight. Who did you think he was?
'ah--'
Tianxiao suppressed Wenduolin's sealing seal tightly and rushed towards Ning Ren. The blood of God was still corroding Tianxiao, and Wenduolin's seal barely stopped it!
Ning Ren raised his arm to block the strong wind, and then he heard countless mixed voices below:
"King, stay away from the crack in the sky!"
"Tian Feng, you bastard, come at me if you dare! Stay away from our king!"
"Do you still have that golden sword? Your Majesty! Give us a few, and let's go together and stab this damn thing to death!"
Not only the people here, but also the people in the civilian area.
They watched helplessly as their king, like a god descending from heaven, plunged the sword into the monster's eyes!
This sword is the last flame that ignites the firewood in one's heart. The despair that has been suppressed to the extreme is burned into ashes by this fire, and then a huge amount of energy bursts out.
This energy turns into a frenzy of following!
Ning Ren's status in the tribe's hearts has risen to a new level. I'm afraid everyone will remember this scene tonight -
However, their king had not yet grown up.
The king is still young.
They are the ones who should protect the king.
Their noise and shouts, even from such a long distance, still reached Ning Ren's ears clearly.
Before completely eliminating the crack in the sky, Ning Ren felt unsure about his plan.
He simply chose to trust his instincts.
But now, it seemed as if there was an indescribable power filling his heart and flowing through his limbs, dispelling the last trace of hesitation in his heart.
The young man smiled and said, "I've already told you that I'm the king who's supposed to protect you..." Why did his people all seem so stupid?
"Eldest sister."
Ning Ren looked at Wen Duolin: "Please help me with the blood formation!"
His sealing seal had already been integrated, but the power was insufficient and only a small amount remained. He could not release it, and using only the Blood Burning Technique was too unsafe.
Wenduolin's expression changed immediately.
Considering my brother's physical condition, there is a high probability that he will not be able to withstand the impact of the blood formation.
Carlos is the person who knows Ning Ren's physical condition best besides the doctor. His palms are cold at this moment, and he always feels that something is about to get out of control.
"Now that your sword has injured it, and the eldest sister's seal has not been broken, we can think of other ways."
Xierting's voice was dry: "Xiao Qi."
His injuries had not yet fully recovered, and he staggered when he stood up.
Not just Xierting.
Everyone gathered here had been the main force resisting the Tianxiao in the past two months, and they all had injuries to varying degrees.
Not to mention Wendoline, whose light armor concealed everything.
Ning Ren took everything into his heart.
He has been a coward for two months, how can he still feel at ease being protected by these people?
"Time is running out, and we don't have time to think of other solutions."
The crack in the sky was wearing away Wendolin's seal faster and faster, and the golden sword was also making a fierce crackling and corroding sound. It was unknown how much longer it could last.
Every second of hesitation means a greater possibility of the destruction of the Eastern Region.
Ning Ren exhaled lightly, his voice suddenly becoming cold and serious.
"Prince Wendoline Herbert, obey your orders."
Wendoline looked up at her brother in the air, her palms slowly clenched, her nails digging into the blood-red crescent, and she said nothing.
"Prince Wendoline Herbert, obey your orders!"
In the name of the king!
This second stretches infinitely.
Wendoline: “…Yes.”
Ning Ren: "Activate the blood formation!"
Wen Duolin held the feather sword horizontally, the blade pointing to her palm, and with a fierce slash, slammed it into the ground! The ground instantly ignited red light, and a huge formation spread out, with her as the center of the formation, quickly connecting with the rest of the tribesmen here -
Including Celtin and Carlos.
Wen Duolin's eyes suddenly turned red, and she spoke word by word: "I respect the king's order."
"rise--!"
The light of the blood formation shot up into the sky, absorbing the energy of all the tribesmen in the formation with incredible force, and all of it rushed into the air through Wen Duolin, the center of the formation!
This force instantly rushed into Ning Ren's meridians!
Ning Ren did not use the Blood Burning Technique, nor did he immediately take out the sealing seal that he had prepared long ago. Instead, he suppressed the power in his body and, beyond everyone's expectations, rushed towards the tower at a very fast speed!
The power of the blood formation gave him great room to exert his spatial mental power. The boy's figure flashed twice in the air and then disappeared.
'Want to escape.'
'It's too late.'
The giant eye even gave up on using up the last corner of the seal and wandered in the crack in the sky. The crack instantly widened a bit, and it had already subtly affected the stability of the entire Eastern Region.
Carlos: "Is the place Xiaoqi went to the King's Tower?"
Why go where.
“Follow him!”
Xierting's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
His strength was almost drained by the blood formation, and he only had enough strength to protect himself.
The situation of the others was not much better. They tried their best to rush towards the tower.
There are also tribesmen around the tower.
The royal court was the safest place, so almost all the tribesmen were accommodated there.
They watched as a silver light flashed by, and then the giant eye came closer and closer.
"Where did the king go?!"
They suppressed the fear in their hearts and rushed to the Tomb of the Fallen King regardless of everything, looking at the tall tower from afar.
boom!
The terrifying black air was spewed out directly from the giant eye. Ning Ren dodged while flying, and his golden mental power made a clear and resounding sound in the process of blocking it!
Sparks flew into the forest and ignited a raging fire in the blink of an eye!
The night birds hiding there screamed and flew away.
Ning Ren stopped at the top of the tower, turned around and looked back. The countless pupils in the giant eye reflected his figure, locking him firmly.
Ning Ren's whole body was tense and his mind was highly concentrated.
His mental strength had already reached the Void Realm, but it was extremely unstable, and his meridians were swollen and painful. If he used the Blood Burning Technique again, his body would be 90% crippled, not to mention his survival.
But there is also a 10% chance of survival.
Bang!
Tianxiao used up the last corner of the seal and pressed down towards Ning Ren without hesitation for a second!
"This is your first time using the Blood Burning Technique, so it's a good deal!"
Ning Ren formed a seal with one hand, and the golden patterns on his black wings were magnificent and noble in the night sky. A surging royal power burst out from him, and his momentum rose! And rose!
The levels of the virtual realm are completely solidified, intermediate, advanced, and peak!
The moment he completely stepped into the peak of the Void Realm, Ning Ren's ears once again rang with the ancient words he had heard before -
[Bloodline shackles, a legacy from ancient times, bound by the darkness of night, unbreakable by anyone but a saint, charging across the sky.]
A huge black curse suddenly appeared in his mind. The curse was extremely long, spanning a timeline of ten thousand years, with countless blood threads spreading out from it. Each blood thread was connected to a member of his tribe.
The curse suppresses the possibility of common people in Lanhuadis becoming royals, suppresses the possibility of all members of the tribe breaking through the virtual realm, and suppresses the vitality and future of Lanhuadis.
They are forced to live in a nocturnal schedule and fear the sun.
He seemed to be able to hear reluctance and despair in the blood lines from earlier times, before the Blood Burning Technique appeared.
The pitch-black chain was wrapped around the curse. When Ning Ren's consciousness touched the chain, he suddenly realized: this curse was the important reason why Lan Huadis had continued to this day. It was rooted ten thousand years ago. If it was destroyed, the entire Lan Huadis clan would most likely no longer exist.
But as long as the chain is broken, some of the influence on the tribe can be eliminated.
Ning Ren clearly felt that his current strength was not enough to break the chain, he needed stronger power.
But the Blood Burning Technique and the Blood Formation had already been used, and the Sealing Seal hidden in his palm was ready to be used. Where could he get more powerful power?
In reality, this only lasted for two seconds.
The young man on the top of the tower slowly raised his head. It was just an extremely ordinary action, but the giant eye that was falling madly hesitated for half a second for some unknown reason.
Then it saw that the person who made it feel uncomfortable smiled and asked it, "You are a living being, right?"
Ning Ren spread his wings behind him, and countless feathers floated in the air. He raised his hand to summon back the Blood Sword of God, which dispersed into countless tiny golden particles, completely wrapping the feathers.
The next second, he waved his hand.
Feathers rained down like crazy on the giant eyeball!
Empowered by the blood of God, these feather swords pierced into its body like needles.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Wisps of blood and energy emanated from the giant eye. Ning Ren used the Blood Burning Technique to recapture the blood and energy of these Eastern Territory creatures and turned it into his own strength.
'Madman! Madman! You are a madman too!'
Ning Ren's body was filled with blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and felt like his body was about to explode!
A silver light flashed, and Ning Ren appeared between the giant eyes. He clenched the void in his palm, and a feather sword suddenly appeared. A drop of divine blood covered the feather sword.
He stabbed down with his sword again!
Pull it out and stab it again!
Ning Ren found a spot and stabbed it hard, leaving an afterimage with his hand.
He lowered his voice and cursed fiercely with all he had learned in his life: "I told you not to bully me! I told you not to bully my father! I told you not to bully my family and my friends! I told you not to bully my people!! Hateful, hateful, hateful! Trash! I'm zazazazazazazazaza--!!"
Having glass in your eyes is painful and disgusting enough even if you don't die.
The giant eye swayed wildly up and down.
Ning Ren: "See how you're going to pull me down without hands!"
The side effects of the Blood Burning Technique plunged him into a strange and frenzied state of excitement. He felt that the Sky Crack was a massive source of energy! Within a few moments, his strength had accumulated to another level.
Many tribesmen watching from a distance were unsure. They rubbed their eyes and looked again: "..."
Bai Ya came over breathlessly: "..."
Wen Duolin and others who had just arrived near the tower: "..."
“…………”
Good, very vigorous.
For a moment they didn't know what to say.
Ning Ren inexplicably felt that Tianfeng was afraid. He didn't know whether it was afraid of him or something else. It clearly had many opportunities to shock him down, but in the end it didn't have enough strength left.
It's like a person punching with all his strength, but in the end he's shaking with fear and the force of his punch seems weak.
Has this thing ever experienced anything terrible?
When the power in his body accumulated to a saturation point, Ning Ren drew out his sword and collected the remaining blood of God.
He instantly released the sealing seal, and the three-colored seal rose up powerfully and directly hit the crack in the sky!
The force is extremely strong!
Wen Duolin's eyes gradually lit up: "The power is enough! Xiao Qi doesn't need to sacrifice his life!"
Xierting was still in disbelief: "My tribe's blood burning technique can actually be used like this. It's really... What on earth is that golden thing Xiaoqi used? It actually has such a strong inhibitory effect on the sky crack."
Carlos couldn't suppress the panic in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Go... go get all the doctors in the tribe to prepare. I'm afraid Xiaoqi's health is..."
Carmichael and Dorothea stopped here a little later.
Without even catching his breath, Jamimi pointed at the sky in surprise: "Is it going to run away?!"
While resisting Ning Ren's sealing seal, the giant eye tried desperately to leave here, and it drilled out a gap again!
The second crack in the sky began to distort, the four seasons changed in it, and the fog was filled, revealing an unknown time and space.
Ning Ren's heart skipped a beat.
This monster can break through space. If we let it escape again, I don’t know where it will suffer!
He exerted force on his feet, and the blood of God turned into chains and directly wrapped around the giant eye.
The chain was too thin. Ning Ren wrapped it around his hand twice, straightened his arm, and pulled it back hard!
"Did I let you go? Come back here—!"
'roar--'
The giant eye rushed forward suddenly, and Ning Ren's arm was almost broken.
He gritted his teeth and his hands were about to give up.
The flames in the forest had spread to the surrounding area of the tower, echoing with the little flames in the tower.
The boy looked up at the second gap that led to nowhere and was suddenly stunned.
The fog in the second gap dissipated, and a familiar figure appeared. The man was a young man with gray-blue hair and was wearing a leader's attire.
He stood around the sacrificial light column, shielding the strong wind with his hands, and looked over here with a frown.
This was a dream that Asulin once had.
Perhaps because he was a space-based person, the giant eye marked this dream as the coordinates for escape. This time was exactly when Ning Ren met Asu Lin decades later.
No one knew what means Tianxiao had used or what price he had paid to be able to create two completely different time and space.
If Ning Ren let go at this moment, the crack in the sky would pass through Asulin's dream and descend into the Northern Territory decades later.
The Northern Territory will face a catastrophe in advance, or even two catastrophes.
Ning Ren didn't know that the moment he saw Asulin's figure, he had only one thought left: he must not let this thing pass!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
The red-gold chain cut directly into the bones, and the veins on the boy's arms bulged. Blood flowed from the top of the tower, dripping down.
"You! Come back to me!!"
Ning Ren suddenly burst out with strength and actually pulled the crack in the sky back little by little.
The chain on his hand slowly retracted, and the sealing seal was getting closer and closer, so the crack in the sky could only be pushed into the original gap.
The giant eye was pulled back completely.
Ning Ren felt relieved.
He looked again at the second crack that had not yet been closed. Sometimes he covered his eyes with red silk, not to block out the light or protect his eyes, but because it could absorb his tears.
He's already a king, yet he still cries.
Unlike the teenage Asulin, the one in front was really his father.
Ning Ren envied himself for a second when he just met his father.
In the dream of Asulin in the gap, Ning Ren was covered in blood and standing on a high tower burning with flames. He didn't know whether Asulin could see him clearly.
At the last second, he silently mouthed:
"I missed you so much."
The second crack closed instantly.
Suddenly, there was an excited shout around the tower:
"Your Majesty is valiant!"
The three-colored sealing seal slowly and firmly pushed the crack in the sky back to its original place. Ning Ren's body was on the verge of collapse. He slowly exhaled and tried to forget what had just happened.
He is still absorbing the power of the sky crack.
The tribesmen who felt this became increasingly uneasy.
Bai Ya appeared opposite the tower: "Little Erli, your chance of survival doesn't need to be full, just know when to stop!" The emotions hidden in his eyes were too complicated for Ning Ren to understand. He only heard Bai Ya say that he had a glimmer of hope.
"Stop absorbing energy now!"
Wen Duolin said, "Xiao Qi, do you want to do something else?"
Carlos: "Xiao Qi, stop absorbing energy. With your current strength, you can seal the crack in the sky without any problem!"
Ning Ren was stunned for a few seconds, and then realized where the life force in Bai Ya's mouth was.
He stared at the chain in his mind in amazement.
If you don't break this chain, you can survive.
Survive...
All he wanted was to survive and live a good life.
More and more tribesmen were rushing here. They had forgotten their bloodline hierarchy and the dignity of the royal court. The area around the tower was a mixture of people from the civilian area and the royal court.
They did not understand what the leading princes meant.
But they also prayed: "Please, King, stop absorbing energy..."
"...I once saw a tribe member in a violent area boil their own elders and use them to soak their young eggs in an attempt to enhance their king mark."
The boy's voice drowned out the other sounds, and the place became silent in an instant.
"At that time, I was wondering why our Lanhuadis people never had the opportunity to make further progress."
"Why do those who work hard have no hope of ascending to higher levels? Why is it impossible for even the most gifted to break through to the Void Realm? Why did our clan have such a long history of being enslaved and driven before the emergence of the Blood Burning Technique..."
Some of the tribesmen silently had tears in their eyes.
It was almost dawn, and even the bones on the bodies of the ordinary tribesmen who had been exposed to the morning light were beginning to fester, like dark things that could not stand the light.
"It's a curse."
Carlos' voice trembled slightly. "Something that hasn't changed in ten thousand years, a habit ingrained in our bones. If you want to study it, there's plenty of time in the future..."
He took a step forward and held out his hand like he did when he was a child: "Don't forget, you still haven't had your 18th birthday ceremony at home, and our growth diary hasn't been sent out yet. You can't run away without our permission. Don't make a fool of yourself on that day."
"Come down, second brother will catch you."
Their younger brother, the king of the tribe, is still just a teenager who has not grown up.
Ning Ren grinned and said, "Second brother, I have already peeked at the title page. Besides, how can I not run away from such an embarrassing thing?"
We can't give up now, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.
His body has now reached its limit, like a balloon that has been inflated to its maximum size. Even if the energy inside is released slowly, his body will be inflated beyond recognition.
Even if he is alive, how long can he live?
Or was it the same as last time, where I forced myself to stay for three days because I was too eager to live, but in vain let my father suffer the powerlessness and pain of not being able to keep him?
Ning Ren couldn't bear to do it.
He didn't want his brothers and sisters to run around for him just to stay a few more days, as that would only add to their pain.
He frantically suppressed the waves of bitterness in his heart.
He didn't even dare to look into the eyes of Carlos and others.
Tian Feng struggled one last time, but was pushed directly in by the Fengzhen Seal, along with the red-gold chains on his body.
With a loud bang, a flash of white light appeared in the sky and earth!
Ning Ren also used all his accumulated strength to chop at the black chain in his mind.
clang——!
Ning Ren's mind went blank from the shock. He felt as if his body had turned into foam at this moment, and he couldn't even feel the existence of his body.
But a smile played upon the young king's lips.
He fell backwards, falling from the tower, blood flowing upwards, and the sea of fire and heat below rolled.
Very warm.
Just like when he once jumped from the watchtower in the cold winter and jumped into Asulin's arms.
Ning Ren suddenly felt very happy.
Someone protected his innocent childhood. Is he also protecting the childhood of many people now?
At this moment, all the members of Lanhuadis tribe felt a tremor in their souls.
Their king's voice echoed in their minds, weak and joyful.
"From now on, my subjects will all be able to live under the sunshine..."
The next dawn rises.
You will all bask in the sunlight and enjoy the sun-kissed comfort you have never experienced before.
We are no longer the rats in the gutter as some outsiders say.
Common people at the bottom of society also have the opportunity to break through the king pattern through hard work, even if the probability is extremely small, even if it is only one in a hundred thousand.
Hope is the best.
Countless people flew up from below, trying to catch their king.
But under their gaze, the figure turned into a little bit of foam and starlight.
The dawn is rising.
The people of Lanhuadis were no longer burned by the warm sunshine.
But their king also disappeared forever in the last dark night.
