Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 659: The Ninth Realm Appears

That group of invaders from another world were extremely similar to the humans in Lingxiao Realm in terms of their appearance, clothing, and weapons.

Ao Chen and others initially thought that a new group of people had come to Lingxiao Realm to share the spoils.

However, they later discovered that this group of people spoke a language that they could not understand at all, and whether they met them or the natives of the "Scorching Rock Realm", they would go straight up and start a fight without saying a word.

Moreover, this group of people has extremely strong combat capability and masters many mysterious and strange Taoist techniques.

The dragon army led by Ao Chen was defeated under their fierce attack and was forced to give up a large area of ​​occupied area.

Even many of his powerful subordinates were injured or even killed in this battle.

Because the cost of developing the "Blazing Rock Realm" was far greater than they had initially imagined.

Ao Chen has been discussing with the leaders of other ethnic groups in Lingxiao Realm. It would be better for them to quit while they are ahead and take the resources that have been mined and return to Lingxiao Realm as soon as possible on the 'Haotian Ship' to avoid causing greater casualties.

But there are many people coming from Lingxiao Realm, and they have many ideas.

The rich mineral resources of the "Fiery Rock Realm", especially the huge temptation of "Void Black Iron", are really hard to resist.

While Ao Chen tends to act cautiously, there are others who advocate taking risks.

However, there is only one "Haotian Ship", and each time it travels through the void it consumes a huge amount of resources, so it is unrealistic to travel back and forth repeatedly in a short period of time.

As a result, everyone argued endlessly about whether to return, and they were unable to reach a consensus.

During this time, when Ao Chen was racking his brains to find reasons to convince everyone, another group of invaders from a strange world suddenly attacked the dragon clan's base camp.

It looked like a group of immortals in fluttering long robes, riding on clouds.

They stood high in the sky, overlooking the dragons busy mining on the surface.

Ao Chen had already witnessed the powerful strength of this group of people in countless battles.

He did not dare to despise it at all, and immediately revealed his true form——

It was a bronze five-clawed dragon, as huge as a mountain, with scales gleaming with a cold metallic luster, and was stronger than almost any armor in the world.

His pupils were like two blazing suns, clearly reflecting the figures of this group of aliens, exuding a powerful and heart-pounding pressure.

Behind him, his subordinates also took on the form of dragons.

Green dragons, crimson dragons, ochre dragons, white dragons, yellow dragons... They lined up in a huge queue, like dense clouds, covering the sky and making people feel suffocated.

In comparison, the dozens of aliens in front of them were like tiny shrimps around a giant whale.

But these aliens showed no fear.

Led by the leader, they began to form complicated hand seals.

As they moved, black light flowed out from between their fingers like liquid, mixed with complex and strange runes, flashing with faint light.

At the same time, they were muttering to themselves.

Their language is different from the language of the Lingxiao Realm.

However, these spells seemed to cause fluctuations in the rhythm of the Tao, allowing Ao Chen and other dragon people to vaguely understand some of their meanings.

"...Disciple sincerely begs Xuandan Tianzun...to hunt down the evil spirits, dispel the evil, mate the dragon and the tiger, and accumulate all my energy..."

Relying on the dragon clan's innate keen intuition, Ao Chen felt an unprecedented deadly danger from this spell, especially from the name "Xuandan Tianzun".

The name is like an indestructible steel stamp, but also like a hungry beast, hungry and eager for prey.

The moment he heard it, it was firmly imprinted in his consciousness, constantly eroding his will and devouring his memory.

Everything in his mind, including his own name, the faces of his family and friends, his identity, his mission, how he was beaten out for sneaking into a phoenix's nest to steal eggs when he was young, and how proud he was of being promoted to one of the eight commanders by the Night Emperor for his military exploits...

They were quickly replaced by the four words "Xuan Dan Tian Zun".

“Xuan Dan Tian Zun…”

“Xuan Dan Tian Zun…”

“Xuan Dan Tian Zun…”

"..."

One voice after another echoed in Ao Chen's mind, like surging waves, overlapping one after another, converging into an unstoppable wave that almost drowned everything.

Ao Chen had never seen anyone give him such a huge sense of oppression just by using a name.

Even Tai Shang Hao Tian, ​​the strongest being in the upper realm, cannot do this.

"Could it be... that this 'Xuandan Tianzun' they are talking about is actually the legendary ninth-level strongman?" Such a thought popped up in Ao Chen's scattered thoughts.

He tried to chant ancient spells and use the secret methods passed down from generation to generation by the dragon clan, trying to stabilize his shaky mind.

However, all this seems to be of no use.

The tidal-like sound waves still raged and impacted his sea of ​​consciousness.

It showed no signs of weakening, but instead became more and more violent like a violent storm, as if it was going to tear his consciousness apart completely.

Ao Chen knew that if he allowed this feeling of oppression to continue to wreak havoc, his mind would probably get completely out of control.

At this critical moment, he hardened his heart and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

His true energy condensed into an invisible sharp blade, directly destroying his hearing.

After a burst of severe pain, the world fell into silence.

The sound of the wind, the surging of magma, the dragon roars of the subordinates around him...all the sounds disappeared.

However, the name "Xuandan Tianzun" continued to echo in his sea of ​​consciousness like a curse.

At the same time, when Ao Chen looked around, he was horrified to find that his subordinates did not attack the enemy according to his orders.

Instead, they all froze in place, chanting the complex and mysterious spell over and over again along with their enemies.

In a trance, those invisible spells seemed to suddenly turn into tangible chains. They grew and spread like vines, wrapping around Ao Chen's body.

"It's over now." Ao Chen's heart seemed to fall into an icy cave of despair.

The strength of the enemy and us was far different, and the situation was not optimistic. In the long years in the past, he had led the army to fight in all directions countless times under the orders of the Night Emperor, and made great achievements.

However, this time, he might never be able to return to His Majesty the Night Emperor.

But as a proud member of the dragon clan, he would never surrender easily.

He stretched his neck, and in this silent world, he suddenly let out a dragon roar that shook the sky.

Then, red flames began to burn on the surface of his bronze body, as if he was wearing a blood-stained robe.

He was burning his own blood and essence, transforming into a red lightning that cut through the dark sky and rushed straight into the enemy.

As a powerful person with the cultivation of a saint, if he were in the Lingxiao Realm, even the mountain protection formations set up by those major forces would be unable to stop the fierce attack he would launch at the cost of his life.

But in front of these mysterious alien enemies, he was like a small stone falling into the vast ocean, without causing the slightest ripple.

At this moment, the shadow of a huge black alchemy cauldron suddenly appeared above Ao Chen.

The alchemy cauldron is engraved with complex patterns.

On one side of it, a vague outline of a human face can be vaguely seen.

Although Ao Chen could not see the face clearly, he could feel a pair of eyes fixed on him from beyond the endless void.

That gaze seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, as if a huge world was pressing down on him.

Under this heavy pressure, the flames on his body suddenly went out, his solid dragon scales shattered inch by inch, his exposed flesh was ruthlessly torn apart, and his hard bones creaked under the heavy load...

Then, under the influence of an irresistible powerful attraction, the bronze dragon several dozen feet long fell into the black alchemy cauldron.

The flames suddenly rose up and green smoke curled up.

The alien leader floated above the alchemy cauldron, forming seals with his hands and silently chanting spells. Every syllable seemed to contain the power of the Tao.

As his gestures changed, the dragons that were frozen nearby and the countless rare minerals on the surface seemed to have received some kind of summons and floated into the alchemy cauldron after Ao Chen.

The temperature of the alchemy furnace continued to rise, and a buzzing sound began to be heard from inside.

After a long time.

A round pill jumped out of the furnace, suspended in the air, emitting a warm jade-like luster.

On its surface, delicate patterns faintly emerge, like dragon scales.

The cultivator from another world stretched out his hand and grasped the pill in his palm.

"God is above!" he said in a pious and eager tone.

"God is above!" The others also responded and shouted in unison.

The man held the pill in his hand but did not swallow it immediately.

His gaze lingered on the alchemy cauldron for a long time, watching the dark light surging back and forth on its patterns.

After a while, he murmured, "Lingxiao World... doesn't look far from here... there are so many medicinal herbs..."

…………

"So, all my subordinates, except you, were wiped out in the 'Scorching Rock Realm'?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. They all died bravely at the hands of those unknown alien invaders. I was the only one who escaped that day because I followed Commander Ao's order to explore for minerals elsewhere."

"What about their bodies? Why didn't you bring them back?"

"Your Majesty, I did consider bringing them back and letting them rest in peace in the ancestral land of the dragon clan. But when I arrived at the place where they died in battle, I was surprised to find that there was no trace of them left there, as if they had all evaporated into thin air.

“Later, I learned from the surviving Nine-tailed Sky Foxes that the enemies from other worlds seemed to have mastered a strange magic that could refine the demons and humans from the Lingxiao World into elixirs in order to gain their power.

"I guess our dragon warriors may have also encountered such misfortune."

Among the towering mountains of Lingxiao Realm, the huge black dragon still lingers in the blood-red lake, like a hill made of black metal.

There was a cold and sharp light flashing in her golden eyes, as if it could see into people's hearts, making people dare not look directly at her.

In front of her, a smaller dark green five-clawed dragon was floating in the air, reporting to her on the development of the "Blazing Rock Realm".

"Those aliens killed Ao Chen from our Dragon Clan, Su Lanchun from the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Clan, Cui Xuecai from the Mo Sect, and Yu Shituo from the Rain Master Nation... What kind of powerful strength do they have to be able to kill so many powerful people from the Lingxiao Realm in one fell swoop?"

“Your Majesty, I heard that those people’s own strength is not outstanding, but they can borrow the power of a strong man named ‘Xuan Dan Tian Zun’, as if everyone is a part of ‘Xuan Dan Tian Zun’.

"In their mouths, the name 'Xuan Dan Tian Zun' itself seems to contain a terrifying power that can easily imprison a cultivator and deprive him of his self-awareness.

"Therefore, some people speculate that this 'Xuan Dan Tian Zun' is very likely the legendary ninth realm expert."

Hearing the words "ninth realm expert", Ye Huang's gaze became more solemn.

In her long life span of tens of thousands of years, she had never seen any real "ninth-level strongman" with her own eyes.

But she had learned from the ancient legends of the Lingxiao Realm that if someone could cultivate to the ninth level, "Yujing", then he would be one with the entire world, and his strength would be closely connected with the strength of all people in the world, complementing each other.

To a certain extent, the world he owns and all the living beings in it are equivalent to an extension of his body and cultivation.

To kill him, the entire world would have to be destroyed.

Among the countless worlds in the void, the Lingxiao Realm is actually a very powerful existence. It can easily capture many weak worlds that lack extraordinary power, and continuously plunder resources from these worlds to continuously develop and grow itself.

But when facing the strange world of "Xuan Dan Tianzun", Lingxiao Realm was so vulnerable.

"Oh, Your Majesty," Green Dragon suddenly said at this moment, "I heard from the monks of other races that those aliens seemed to be able to read the enemy's memory when they used the enemy's body to make pills. I'm afraid the coordinates of Lingxiao Realm have been exposed to them.

"Perhaps, after they have plundered all the resources of the 'Fiery Rock Realm', they will turn their attention to our Lingxiao Realm. By then, all the demons and humans in the Lingxiao Realm may become their medicinal materials."

After the dark green five-clawed dragon finished speaking, Ye Huang fell into a long silence and did not give any response.

The green dragon's few words made her feel the terrible threat of that strange world.

After all, a strong man who can kill a group of Lingxiao Realm cultivators with just his name, even a True Lord with multiple powers like her would feel wary and a chill in his heart.

"Could it be that Tai Shang Hao Tian can really be promoted to the ninth level peacefully?" She couldn't help but think to herself.
