Chapter 568: Trouble Caused by Identity Exposure
At this moment, the void is silent.
Under the giant screen of time and space, due to the previous violent collision, all kinds of energy fluids in this area were almost cleared out.
Everyone stared blankly at the figure holding the purple hammer, all of them were shocked.
The person who was said to have opened the Holy Castle a long time ago, a life form that was as powerful as the sixteen members of the Yuan clan combined, was actually Qinglong?
Then, their gazes moved downwards and landed on the Azure Dragon in the distance, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.
The Empire is acting on two fronts, searching for the Star of Eternal Silence on the one hand and the Holy Castle on the other.
After they found out, they could only sigh and say that the empire had a strong foundation, but they were not too surprised.
But the big boss Qinglong also acts on two fronts. On the one hand, he arranges the pioneers to act secretly in the deep dimensional world.
He leisurely arrived at the deep dimensional world at the last moment and drove away the two forbidden life forms head-on.
A piece of the Star of Eternal Silence was snatched from the Empire.
That’s not all. On the empire’s side, the carefully planned Holy Fortress had already been opened by him.
So fierce that he hardly looks human.
"It's actually Qinglong..." Florian was shocked, but also felt a sense of enlightenment.
Last time he thought that there was something wrong with Clyde's challenge, so it turned into a challenge to a human being. It turned out that there was an update.
Now that he has figured it out, he feels even more helpless. Looking at the current situation, it will be difficult for Clyde to win.
"Having calculated so much..." At this moment, Gustav truly felt the unfathomable depth of Qinglong.
In terms of strength, Qinglong certainly has a limit and will definitely not surpass X-level life forms.
Of course, strength is important when it comes to making a living, but it is not the only important thing. This kind of situation of taking every step carefully and even being ten thousand steps ahead is what makes him more frightened.
"Could it be that he was able to withstand the attacks of two forbidden life forms because of the Crown of Diglas?" Anatoly said suddenly, and everyone immediately realized.
Especially for some X-level life forms that had participated in the operation in the wasteland, they were enlightened.
"No wonder there's always a golden film. It must be the Crown of Diglas..."
"Then, Your Excellency Qinglong, isn't he already invincible?"
The power of the Crown of Digras was narrated by Prince Heckler of the Empire himself, and there is a high probability that he is correct.
If it can even withstand the attacks of the ultimate life forms, then who in this interstellar space can break this layer of defense?
"No wonder he took action at the last moment. If he has the means to calm the situation, he's naturally not afraid."
Everyone was talking about it, saying that there were too many secrets discovered today.
This is good news for the members of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms. With this big boss supporting them, they will have more confidence when facing the three major civilizations in the future.
However, the atmosphere in the Empire was very depressing, and the many higher life forms gathered around Costat looked at each other in bewilderment.
How can we play this game? This guy’s defense is invincible.
They looked at Prince Costat in the center secretly. His emotions had been restrained and his face was expressionless, but veins bulged on both sides of his cheeks.
"Is a fight going to start?"
Everyone was discussing, and no one knew whose mental fluctuations covered the entire place.
Everyone's expressions were startled again and they quickly looked up.
They were quite curious about this battle, partly because it was the so-called trial to become a king.
No one had ever seen the higher life forms present.
On the other hand, the protagonist seems to be a projection of Qinglong, which obviously does not involve a battle between mechanical bodies.
Perhaps, we can get a glimpse of Qinglong's true strength from it.
In the ring, Morris was already prepared. Although he could admit defeat on the spot, since the trial had already been triggered, he still took it very seriously.
The initial contact was almost no different from the previous battle.
The higher life forms in the deep dimensional world also gradually became disappointed from their initial expectations.
"Lord Qinglong's fighting style is really simple and unpretentious..." Someone was silent for a long time before finally saying something.
This statement is already quite euphemistic. Qinglong's battles are too unspectacular to watch. There are even few energy fluctuations on his body. It seems that he is fighting purely by strength and speed.
No, he also has the hammer in his hand, which he has mastered to perfection.
The guy named Morris was quite skilled. They had never seen many of his attack methods and techniques before, and they were quite surprised by what they saw.
However, although Qinglong's fighting style is simple and unpretentious, its lethality is obvious.
Every time the purple hammer collided with Morris, everyone could clearly see the injuries Morris suffered.
At the end of the fight, they only saw the purple hammer in Qinglong's hand smashing through the space in a trance, and Morris exploded with a serious expression, and then the ring collapsed.
The guy looked depressed, obviously failing in the challenge.
"Is this the end?"
This battle was neither exciting nor overwhelming, especially the last hammer. It was hard to feel the specific power contained in it, but it seemed very strong.
This awkward feeling makes people uncomfortable.
"Is this the strength before embarking on the ultimate path?" The Dwarf King muttered, holding a black hammer in his hand, the hammer head of which was bigger than his entire body.
"Although it is indeed very powerful, it is somewhat different from what I expected. The combat capability of Azure Dragon itself seems to be no more than 1000X..."
"Which idiot is speaking?" Anduin sneered and looked around for the person who spoke.
"This challenge is limited to the X-level, but that doesn't mean Qinglong's strength is limited to that. This is just a projection of his strength."
"Besides, Qinglong is a master craftsman and never relies on his main body to fight."
After watching this battle, everyone naturally felt a sense of disappointment. Qinglong's specific performance was not quite what they expected.
But he also understood what Anduin said. It was just a projection of the Azure Dragon and did not represent anything.
But... everyone's eyes were vaguely wandering on Tan Wei.
What on earth was that person doing? Up to now, there was no movement, and even his movements remained unchanged.
…
Inside the Holy Castle, Li Ming felt very uncomfortable and looked very unhappy as he stared at the two black giants, one big and one small.
"My identity was actually exposed directly." He frowned.
The Holy Castle being discovered by the Empire was already a relatively bad situation, but in his original expectation, it was not the worst.
The main firepower is still faced by the Holy Castle, which can withstand it. If he makes some small moves in secret, it can probably delay it for a long time.
The last thing he wanted was for his identity to be exposed.
This gave the outside world two targets: one was the Holy Castle, and the other was the Azure Dragon.
He can't hide behind the scenes and do things, and it is even very likely that he will face enormous pressure from the entire galaxy.
The Holy Castle is not only coveted by the Empire, the other two civilizations will certainly not let it go. Even some guys who have no idea of their own strength may get involved.
The thought of the three major civilizations joining forces made him feel horrified.
Under normal circumstances, even if the chosen one is triggered into the King Trial, what comes out is his projection.
But at the War General level, he hasn't fought with a hammer yet, so it's hard to tell who he is.
The others were not chosen, and their blood concentration was not high enough, so they were not qualified to be triggered into the King Trial. It was almost impossible for his identity to be exposed.
But the appearance of these two black giants was not what he expected at all. They suddenly rushed in and directly revealed his identity.
This has put him in a very troublesome situation.
He can handle being an enemy of the Empire.
But he really doesn't have the ambition to make enemies with the three major civilizations, or even the entire interstellar space.
"There's still a way out. At worst, we can abandon the Holy Castle and find a place to hide." Li Ming frowned.
But he really didn't want to abandon the Holy Castle unless it was absolutely necessary.
It would be really uncomfortable not to eat the meat right in front of your mouth. Moreover, the Crown of Diglas can affect the ultimate level of battle.
The importance of this thing is second only to him becoming an X-level life form.
"The gene seed in Sheffield hasn't been successfully prepared yet. If I fail, it will be difficult for him to keep any secrets for me."
"He needs a lot of resources, and inevitably needs to make contact with the stars. Even kidnapping him is not an option."
Li Ming's thoughts were intertwined in his mind, and his eyes were flashing. Although this matter was troublesome, there was still a chance to continue playing.
That dominant corpse is here, it's time to throw it out.
He thought of diverting the trouble away and muddying the waters completely.
"But we can't just throw it out there. That would just encourage more cooperation. We have to let it go slowly, letting them get entangled and attracting our attention..."
"It also needs to be deterrent enough to make them afraid to act rashly..." Li Ming gradually figured out the thread. It was natural that a child carrying gold through the market would arouse their greed.
But if a fully armed adult holds it, most people will give up their thoughts.
"Can I ask you a favor..."
Li Ming was thinking about it when he heard the supervisor next to him suddenly speak.
"Hmm?" He was slightly surprised and collected his thoughts. This was the first time this guy spoke in such a tone.
"Please take that heart back..." The Inspector pointed at the blood-red crystal in the Black King's hand. Li Ming could feel the anger contained in the other's mechanical eyes.
"They killed a pure-blooded Titan and desecrated his body." The Overseer gritted his teeth. "These Titan offshoots are guilty of heinous crimes!"
"Oh?" Li Ming's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately started to think, "Then can I trouble you to relocate this holy fortress?"
"I can't do it..." The Overseer looked at him helplessly, "This is a fundamental procedure. It has been here since it was created."
Li Ming frowned slightly, but heard the Supervisor continue: "However, if you can get that heart back, I can use it to shut down a program port."
"Prevent the chosen ones of this holy castle from ever again becoming the King Trial."
When Li Ming heard this, his eyes lit up. It seemed that doing this would be better than changing positions.
Changing location is nothing more than delaying time. When the empire finds the next chosen person, it can still squeeze in again in this way.
But if this program port is closed, the outside world will have no way to stop it.
We can only attack by force, but the defensive strength of the Holy Castle is unquestionable and cannot be broken at all.
Well... not necessarily. Li Ming thought about this and did not make an overly optimistic speculation, but was a little conservative.
All I can say is that there shouldn't be any problems in the short term.
"Okay, it's settled." Li Ming nodded, his eyes falling on the burly Black King.
Outside the door, the gray-black mist had dissipated, and Morris, who was covered in bruises, was repairing his body.
Heckler's face was extremely gloomy, and he felt a breath stuck in his chest. He wanted to vomit but couldn't, and he wanted to swallow but couldn't.
Why the hell is it you again!
I'm clearly no longer targeting you, so why are you still pestering me?
Heckler's mentality was almost exploding. He thought he had wisely avoided Qinglong, but in the end, this guy was waiting for him at the finish line.
He even thought that when he was targeting Qinglong before, the other party might have already been planning to attack the Holy Castle.
If I had persisted, I might have had a chance to stop the other party, but I withdrew and chose another path.
I should have thought of it earlier. The other party kept the chosen person by his side not for the purpose of "raising the Gu" in the end.
Heckler couldn't think about it too much, he controlled his emotions, if he thought about it any further, he was afraid that he would lose control on the spot.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down. Tandin beside him had a cold expression on his face.
Qinglong, your ghost is really lingering around.
However, we should never get involved in the Holy Castle. This is no longer just a matter for the Empire.
"Now, do you understand?" The Black King finally spoke: "He should be called Qinglong, he is quite famous."
His tone was indifferent as he glanced at Heckler. As a legitimate descendant of the Titans, he spoke with a hint of pride. "He's already got there first, but you're completely unaware of this. You might even think I'm here to make an enemy of you."
Heckler had adjusted his mood, but his face was still gloomy enough to drip water.
His gaze fell on the Black King, and an ugly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Titan branch, Dark Hell Giant..."
"If my guess is correct, you should be the seeds that took refuge with the Terrax civilization."
"No, you are not even seeds. You are slaves, servants, and toys. What you are holding in your hand should be the heart of a pure-blooded Titan."
"They still maintain vigorous vitality. I'm afraid they didn't die of old age. How can I trust the words of a race that betrayed its creator and murdered its master?"
In a short time, Heckler had analyzed it.
As the words fell, the Black King looked grimly. A pitch-black fog spread under his feet, and he could vaguely see a roaring, hideous head.
Seeing this, Heckler added, "You have completely inherited the Titans' path of evolution."
Under the giant screen of time and space, everyone learned more information and became noisy again.
"Is this guy a descendant of the Titans who escaped?"
Before a civilization collapses, a batch of seeds will be prepared to serve as a source of fire. This is familiar to everyone.
Someone shook his head. "They are merely vassals of the Pure-Blood Titan. According to Prince Heckler, these guys killed the Pure-Blood Titan and cut out his heart, which is why they were able to enter the Holy Castle unimpeded."
"How come this kind of life form has emerged? I've never heard of it before?"
"It's not that I haven't heard of it..." Anatoly shook his head. "It's been discovered before, but it was basically digested by the three major civilizations and never known to the outside world."
