Chapter 1976 Breaking through the mid-term of Da Luo
Although they had been mentally prepared, the four subordinate city lords were shocked by Erqi's generosity at this moment. They wanted to immediately suggest that Erqi change the rule that forbade city lords to participate in martial arts competitions.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhu, don't worry. There happens to be another ball of Sulfur Flame Blood Cloud in the vault. What I promised you before will not change."
Seeing Zhu Yan's expression change slightly, Erqi chuckled and comforted him.
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord City Lord. The Sulfur Flame Blood Cloud is too important to me."
Zhu Yan bowed in thanks.
"So, after the martial arts competition, Brother Zhu will be able to break through the heavenly barrier? This is truly cause for celebration!"
Fu Jian's eyes turned and he congratulated with a slightly sour tone.
"Haha, my Xuancheng will have another Daluo Xuanshi. From now on, whether dealing with those scale beasts or the thieves in Puppet City, it will be much easier."
Qin Yuan behaved very friendly, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Luo Hong secretly looked at Zhu Yan, who had become the center of everyone's discussion, and thought of his previous conversation with him.
Zhu Yan has made it clear that he will stay in the Jilin Void Realm and will no longer return to the Demon Realm with Luo Hong.
Obviously, he wanted to avoid the fight for the throne in this way.
"You are still too naive. Every fight for succession will affect the entire Demon Realm. The Jilin Void Realm is also in the Demon Realm, so how can it stay out of it?
Judging from the time, the team from Puppet City should have already set out. I wonder where they are now?"
Watching the first round of Xuan Dou about to unfold in the Shura Field, Luo Hong's mind flew out of Xuan City.
In Jilinkongjing, a desert tens of thousands of miles away from Xuancheng, the wind was howling and dust filled the sky.
And in this seemingly chaotic world, huge black shadows are moving forward steadily.
A small lizard-like scaly beast approached and saw that the black shadows were actually huge scaly beasts.
Leading among them was a black-scaled elephant that was over a hundred feet tall!
However, unlike normal wild black-scaled elephants, this big guy is not only covered with thick scales, but also has thick metal armor covering the weak parts.
What’s even more special is that there are seven or eight fist-sized animal cores on the front of its chest, embedded in its flesh and blood in the shape of a ring!
In addition, the two long tusks of this black-scaled elephant have been cut off and replaced with two sharp spears shining with starlight, exuding a compelling aura.
The lizard-scaled beast turned its head and met the eyes of the black-scaled elephant, only to see that its eye sockets were sunken and filled with darkness. There was no eyeball at all, but instead, there were obvious signs of atrophy and drying on the edges of the eye sockets.
This is a dead body, and those behind it.
Thinking of this, the lizard-scaled beast felt a chill in its heart and fled back to the cave at full speed.
At the same time, in a black stone palace carried on the back of a black-scaled elephant, a woman in a black long skirt, with a slim figure and a veil on her face was sitting cross-legged on a three-foot square black stone platform.
"How long will it take to reach Xuancheng?"
The woman in the black dress asked in a soft, lazy voice, as if she was talking to herself.
"Reporting to the city lord, there is less than a month's journey left."
A female voice was heard from the shadows of the hall.
"Well, after so many years of preparation, the time has finally come. Do you have any problems?"
The woman in the black dress nodded slightly at first, then looked at another stone platform in the shadow and asked in a solemn voice.
"Don't worry, City Lord. I'm here to make sure you can retrieve the holy remains.
But before entering that place, you'd better deal with my Thirteenth Brother to avoid any accidents."
A man's voice was heard faintly.
"According to the information sent back by the insider, your Thirteenth Brother has been controlled by Erkui and is not easy to deal with.
But don't worry, once we get in there, we'll have plenty of opportunities!"
The woman in the black dress curled her lips into a smile that was enough to charm everyone.
More than twenty days had passed since the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition began. Although Luo Hong had not participated in the competition, he had not missed any of the mysterious battles.
After all, after he came to Jilinkong Realm, his cultivation in the Xuan Dao improved extremely quickly. In just thirty or forty years, he had become a Daluo Xuanshi, but he did not have many opportunities for actual combat.
Watching the game in this way really gave him a lot of insights.
"The further you practice the Xuan Dao, the stronger your body will become. The strength and speed of opponents of the same level will not differ too much. At this time, in order to win, apart from external objects such as Xuanqi and Xingqi, you have to rely on the killer moves you have mastered!"
Luo Hong concluded secretly in his heart.
You can master many fighting skills, but there is only one killer move.
If you use a killing move but fail to defeat your opponent, then you are often doomed to fail.
After all, the characteristic of a killing move is that it is powerful, but it will cause the user to temporarily lose strength.
In other words, if the killing move is used well, it can even allow the Xuanshi to defeat the strong with the weak, but if it is used poorly, it will most likely be a waste.
"What should my Xuan Dao killer move be?"
Luo Hong couldn't help but think. He had collected a lot of fighting skills over the years, but had not yet evolved his own Xuan Dao killer move.
It’s not that he lacks the ability, but that he is still hesitant in his heart.
On the path of the mysterious way, he has not yet realized his true nature!
Suddenly, the aura of a Daluo Xuanshi approached rapidly, interrupting Luo Hong's thoughts.
He turned his head and saw a sinister man in a black robe and an eagle nose rushing towards him from the direction of the city wall. After just a few leaps, he arrived on the platform and bowed to Erqi with a solemn expression.
The next moment, Erqi's expression changed. He stood up suddenly and looked in one direction outside the city. His expression became increasingly grim.
When everyone saw this, they immediately realized that the sinister man had brought some bad news, and they couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.
"The Five Cities Martial Arts Competition is suspended. Everyone return to your residences. No one is allowed to go out without permission!"
Without waiting for Chen Yang and the others to come to an understanding, Erqi announced in a loud voice.
Upon hearing this, not only were the residents of Xuancheng who were watching the fight in the Shura Field dumbfounded, but even the Xuanshi from the Five Cities who had not yet finished the fight stopped with a look of confusion on their faces.
For a moment, the huge Shura field was completely silent!
However, soon, the Xuanshi who was in charge of order began to urge the crowd according to Erqi's orders, making the Shura Field lively again.
"You should also take your people back to the villas and are not allowed to walk around the city without permission!"
At this time, Erqi turned around and gave an order to Chenyang and other city lords, then his figure flashed and disappeared out of thin air on the platform.
Except Luo Hong, no one saw how he left.
When the sinister man saw this, he stepped on the ground again and soared into the sky like a giant eagle. With one leap he landed on a building far away, and with another leap he disappeared.
"Such a fast movement. I know that there can't be only one Daluo Xuanshi in Xuancheng."
Luo Hong complained in his heart as he followed Zhu Yan down the platform.
As soon as he returned to the villa, Han Li and Zi Ling came to the door.
"Brother Luo, what happened that would stop the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition?"
"Junior Brother Han, this is the opportunity we have been waiting for. I originally thought it would appear after the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition, but I didn't expect that the people in Puppet City would be more anxious than I expected."
As soon as Luo Hong finished speaking, the sound of "dong dong" drums came from outside.
The sound of the drum is so vast and distant, so shocking, that it can even affect the heartbeats of the mystics in the city!
"This should be the sounding of the Heavenly Might War Drum. It seems that Puppet City is really coming."
Zhu Yan listened for a moment and then spoke in a deep voice.
It turns out that there is a very special war drum standing in Xuancheng, its name is "Tianwei". Once it is struck, it means someone is going to attack Xuancheng.
And if a beast tide breaks out, there must be signs in advance, so the army from Puppet City must be coming now.
"Brother Luo, when I asked you about the details earlier, you said that the time was not right. Can you explain this to me now?"
Upon learning that the arrival of Puppet City was also within Luo Hong's expectations, Han Li's panic instantly disappeared.
“Of course, Junior Brother should also know that whether it is Xuancheng or Kuicheng, in fact, not much has been done in exploring the Jilin Void Realm.
This is because there are many Daluo Scaled Beasts, and also because the void deep in the Jilin Void Realm is unpredictable and can even swallow up entire exploration teams.
But along with great dangers, there are also great opportunities.
The top treasures circulating in Xuancheng, such as Tianlin Meteorite Crystal, Sulfur Flame Blood Cloud, etc., are obtained from the secret realms deep in the Jilin Void Realm. "
Luo Hong spoke lightly.
"Yes, I heard all this from Chen Yang."
Han Li nodded in reply.
"But he will definitely not tell you that there is actually a biggest secret realm hidden deep in the Jilin Void Realm, and its name is 'Daxu'!
This secret realm is normally inaccessible. We can only explore it when the seal, which occurs once every million years, becomes weak.
Before this, only Erqi knew the exact location of Daxu. In fact, the reason why he was so generous in this martial arts competition was to bring the top 18 Xuanists into Daxu.
The stronger you are, the greater his final gain will be.
In comparison, the rewards for martial arts competitions are nothing!
And now that Kuicheng has come here, it is obvious that they also want to take over Daxu."
Luo Hong sat down cross-legged as he spoke and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
"If that's the case, then the two sides will have to fight a big battle. If we get involved, it will be very dangerous!"
Han Li said worriedly.
"No, if the people from Puppet City come here before Xuan City sets out, it will prevent this battle from happening!"
Zi Ling shook her head upon hearing this, and then when she saw Han Li looking at her, she explained:
"The primary goal of both Xuankui and the other city is undoubtedly to enter Daxu, and the secondary goal is to prevent the other party from entering.
If Kuicheng arrives after Xuancheng sets out, then they can either attack the weakly defended Xuancheng or choose to ambush Xuancheng's exploration team halfway.
It would be much better than showing up now and facing the entire combat power of Xuancheng.
This shows that Puppet City doesn’t actually want to take action, but rather wants to cooperate.”
"Fairy Zi Ling's words make sense, but this is not entirely a good thing. Kuicheng is so cautious, it must be because they don't have the confidence to enter the Great Ruins alone. You can see how dangerous it is!"
Zhu Yan agreed with Zi Ling's speculation, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry about the dangers in the ruins.
"If we want to leave Jilin Void Realm, Daxu is a hurdle we cannot avoid!
Moreover, Erqi and Shaxin, the Lord of Puppet City, both want to enter it so much, so there must be some huge secret hidden in the ruins.
Once one of them gets this secret, the current balance will be disrupted.
Luo has no habit of leaving his fate in the hands of others!
Brother Zhu, I can promise you that once this trip to Daxu is over, I will lift the restrictions on you."
Luo Hong knew very well what was hidden in the ruins, so he had no hesitation at all about entering it.
If he could get this opportunity, then he would have hope of achieving perfection in his physical body!
After hearing this, Zhu Yan and the other two said nothing more, but turned back and prepared to enter Daxu.
Luo Hong did not dare to delay at this time. He took out the three heavenly-grade beast cores that Erkui had sent to him earlier, opened his mouth and swallowed them all together!
As Luo Hong sat cross-legged and practiced his Qi, eight hundred and forty spots of light appeared on his body.
It turned out that after obtaining all the earth-level beast cores in Qingyang City, Luo Hong had already raised his Xuan Dao cultivation to the peak of the early Daluo stage.
And now, he wants to use the power of three heavenly-grade beast cores to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Daluo in one fell swoop!
Black lightning danced wildly on Luo Hong's body surface, and the majestic power of the stars surged out from Luo Hong's abdomen, pouring into his limbs and bones, making his entire body's mysterious orifices bloom ten times brighter!
Finally, after seven days and seven nights, Luo Hong's painful expression suddenly eased, and a new mysterious orifice appeared in the center of his chest.
"Fortunately, I have perfected my skills before, otherwise this breakthrough would never have been successful. The further you go in practicing the Mystical Dao, the more difficult it becomes!"
If the three heavenly-grade beast cores were placed when Luo Hong had just broken through to the early Daluo stage, they would have been enough for him to open eight or nine mysterious orifices.
It won’t be like now, where every one of them is so difficult.
Even if there is a relationship to break through the bottleneck, the gap is still too big.
“But it doesn’t matter. With my current body and cultivation, it’s no problem for me to pass through the Tianfeng Territory and enter the Tianwai Territory!
As long as I get out of this Scaled Void Realm and let the little black ball refine the almost countless spiritual materials of the Laws in the Outer Realm, I can have as many Heaven-level Beast Cores as I want!"
The future looks bright, but the current difficulties cannot be ignored.
"Before entering Daxu, my Xuan Dao cultivation could not possibly catch up with Erqi!
All I can rely on is the burst of the Nine Transformations Sky Dragon Technique and my own profound killing moves."
Currently, Luo Hong's deduction of the Nine Revolutions Xiaolong Gong has reached its limit. After activating the secret technique, he can temporarily increase his number of mysterious orifices by up to 360.
That is to say, the number of Xuanqiao at the peak of Taiyi, not twice the number of Xuanqiao as before.
Obviously, activating this secret technique cannot guarantee that Luo Hong will gain the power to control everything.
In this situation, the Xuan Dao killing move that can further enhance Luo Hong's combat power becomes extremely important.
Therefore, Luo Hong immediately decided to stop practicing and use the remaining time to comprehend his own killing moves!
In a blink of an eye, another half a month passed. Just as Zi Ling expected, Erqi finally chose to compromise and agreed to Sha Xin's cooperation proposal.
