Dark King, come pick me up!

Chapter 559 The last moment, return
Southern Sky Territory, Skydome Academy!

Although it is the most remote area on the edge of Zhongzhou, it is also located in the southern sky region. However, Tianqiong Academy is not in the center of the area like the other three academies. On the contrary, it is located in the most peripheral area of ​​the area, which is an extremely desolate place. .

Although this kind of college recruits students with no background, they are all students with outstanding talents without exception. Moreover, Tianqiong College itself is located in a huge and continuous mountain range, with perennial snow that does not melt all year round, making it extremely gloomy and cold.

However, it is this place that has brought Tianqiong Academy an excellent natural defense barrier. No one dares to come here, and there are many dangerous places here, so it is the best place for experience.

Therefore, Sky Vault Academy has produced many outstanding graduates, and they have been recruited by many families and forces to inject fresh blood into them. Sky Vault Academy can be called one of the four major colleges, and it truly lives up to its name!
On the top of the highest mountain of Tianqiong Academy, a group of figures stood on the top of the peak, staring at the void in front of them.

Among that group of people, the one standing at the front was a lazy and casual man, with his hands folded very comfortably, even though he was a little old, he was still extremely handsome, his dark eyes were full of vicissitudes but not Lost the brilliance of wisdom, but also seems to have the playfulness of controlling everything!

And behind him, there was a group of gray-haired people without exception, who possessed great strength and solemn expressions. Judging from their strength and status, it was enough to see that they were the elders of Sky Vault Academy.

And the lazy man standing in the front, his identity is self-evident!

"Dean Tian, ​​it has been two months. Is it really possible for that student named Chu Ouzi to come back alive from the Dark Sky Realm?"

One of the elders said with some concern that he didn't have much hope for the student who entered the Dark Dome two months ago and came from the review of the ruins of the lower plane.

Not to mention that he is only a first-level spiritual master, and his strength is extremely low compared to the thousands of people in front of him, because none of the thousand people who entered the dark vault before him is at a level below the spirit sect level.

Because the Dark Dome is too dangerous, it is full of various crises, and just one danger is enough to kill a person.

Such a crisis-ridden Dark Dome, even the powerful Spirit Emperor dare not enter, but the powerful Spirit Saint can enter, but the danger there is not a small threat to them.

But the problem is that once entering the Dark Vault, no matter who is inside, they will disappear into the boundless danger. This Dark Vault has an invisible barrier that can cut off the breath of everyone, even the spiritual powerhouse. .

Therefore, once entering the Dark Dome, the spiritual powerhouse cannot enter the search and rescue, because the Dark Dome is too vast, and there are special barriers that block the breath of people inside, and can only be detected with the naked eye.

Obviously, basically no one can be found.

It is precisely because of this that people who enter the dark vault will most likely not be able to return alive, and people outside cannot be rescued.
Therefore, it is the most dangerous area. If you are not prepared to die, don't enter the Dark Vault!
After the elder spoke, the other elders followed suit, "Yes, Dean Tian, ​​let alone his strength, even if he is still alive, he may not be able to come back at this time."

The elders looked at each other, and they were not optimistic about each other. As the elder said, let alone his strength, in such a dangerous area, once he went too deep, it would take a long time.

If you don't go too deep, it is still possible to come back within two months.

However, that is impossible. According to reports, apart from the records of Dean Tian, ​​the dozen or so people who entered the Dark Dome and came back alive were all aged for more than five months without exception.

Because the Dark Dome is not only dangerous, but also out of the control of the entrants, once you encounter any dangerous area, you may go to other places at once, and you can't find your way back at all, so you can only continue to move forward.

Two months is really too stressful.

The lazy man in front raised the corners of his lips when he heard the words, with a smile that was not a smile, "So what, if you don't look at the situation, how can you know."

"However, based on that student named Chu Ouzi, who is only at the level of a first-level spiritual master, and will come back within two months, it is really a fantasy."

The elders all frowned. Although none of them had ever seen the student named Chu Ouzi, since he was a student from the lower plane, no matter how talented he was, in terms of strength, he was already doomed to be a waste of time. With the existence of legs, compared with the thousands of people who have entered the Dark Dome in the past ten thousand years, the possibility of him returning alive is too low.

"Forgive me, but rather than focusing on this Arabian Nights student, it's better to focus on the Purple Spirit Realm competition. Fifty students are still waiting for you to decide, Dean Tian."

"In three days, we will be leaving for the Purple Spirit Realm."

Following the elder's blunt words, Tianxiu turned around lazily, looked at a group of elders with lazy but wise eyes, and said casually.

"It's not difficult, you can decide. In previous years, it wasn't all your decisions. You only need to show me the list at the end."

The elders were speechless for a moment. It was indeed the case in previous years. Every year when it was time for the competition in the Purple Spirit Realm, the fifty students for the competition in the Purple Spirit Realm were all decided by them. There is no problem.

But this year is different from usual. Who would have thought that there would be such a bet between the four colleges, and also this year, the Ten Thousand Battlefield, which will only be opened once in a century, will soon open.

The bet between the four major colleges is reflected by the winning college in the Purple Spirit Realm competition. Only the college that wins No. 1 in the Purple Spirit Realm competition will get five places in Wan Zhanyu.

How can such a major event related to the future of Tianqiong Academy be so hastily decided, it must be checked by Dean Tian himself.

"But Dean Tian, ​​you"

A group of elders still wanted to persuade, Tianxiu raised his hand and stopped the elders from speaking, but Houtianxiu's casual but meaningful words came.

"It's okay, there are still three days before the competition in the Purple Spirit Realm. I'm not in a hurry. I have already made a decision about this matter."

Hearing this, the elders looked at each other, and finally sighed. Since Dean Tian said that, they have nothing to say.

After all, although Dean Tian is lazy and casual, giving Tianqiong Academy an extremely free environment, he also has far-reaching and long-term thoughts, and even possesses powerful and mysterious strength. Once he does something, he must have his intentions. And the eyes never go wrong.

In this way, although the elders were a little worried, they could only watch the situation from the sidelines.

Seeing the group of elders being speechless, Tianxiu's lips curled up with an unknown arc, and he turned around, "Okay, it's time to open the Dark Vault."

"Let's see what will happen to us."

Swish!
Tianxiu waved his hand casually, and an extremely terrifying and powerful spiritual force rushed out, rushing towards the empty void in front of him.

In just a split second, a strong sense of oppression suddenly overwhelmed the sky, as if covering a piece of heaven and earth. It was so strong that people looked up to it, making the elders behind them all shudder and take a step back calmly.

After all, the strength possessed by Dean Tian is so strong that even they are in awe, that's why he can become a strong man at the pinnacle of the Heaven Defying Realm.

Soon, the void in front of him changed. The entire void began to distort, forming a huge vortex rapidly. A powerful air wave spread, and a terrifying and dark aura burst out from the center of the vortex. .

In an instant, the entire sky was filled with black clouds and dark tides. It was extremely dark and frightening, and it looked like a storm was about to come.

In just a short time, the huge vortex grew bigger and bigger until it reached the limit, and then stopped. In the center of the vortex, the appearance of the dark vault gradually appeared.

Even deeper, it is the scene in the dark vault!

Then, Tianxiu withdrew his hand, crossed his arms, and stood casually, looking into the huge vortex with playful and unpredictable eyes.

The elders also waited quietly. After all, once they entered the Dark Vault, they would face many dangers, and it would take a long time to return.

So after opening the Dark Dome, you have to wait for a while, waiting for the people inside to return.

Time flies, and a whole day has passed, and the huge vortex is still hovering over the sky of Sky Vault Academy, black clouds are rolling, dark tides are surging, but there is still no movement.

Tianxiu was still standing on the top of the peak, but he didn't feel any impatience. He was used to waiting for such a long time ago. On the contrary, a group of elders behind him. their order.

After all, once the Dark Dome is opened, the impact will be more or less slight. The terrifying dark atmosphere will spread throughout the academy, and the students will be affected to varying degrees.

Students with a little higher strength are naturally fine, but if they are only students from the outer courtyard, such an impact will still make the students a little unbearable, as if there is a strong sense of oppression, pressing on them.

Therefore, the departure of the elders is to settle the students, transfer the students to other places in Sky Vault Academy, and prevent them from getting close to the mountain peak area where the dark dome domain appears, so as not to be affected more, and it will also bring more damage. pain of.

Another night passed, and the bright sun had slowly risen in the distant sky, and the light was shining on the earth. However, the current Sky Vault Academy was still shrouded in a dark sky, still surrounded by black clouds, and there was no sign of dissipating.

Today is already the third day, and tomorrow, we will set off for the Purple Spirit Realm!
Seeing that the huge and thick vortex was still spinning, but there was no movement, the elders standing behind Tianxiu finally couldn't help but speak.

"Dean Tian, ​​today is already the third day, and the student still hasn't come out, maybe he's still alive, but I'm afraid he won't be able to find the exit for a while."

"It's better to leave for the time being and focus on the purple spirit realm competition first. Once there is any movement in the dark vault, we will report it to Dean Tian immediately."

The elders spoke as tactfully as possible. After all, he was the student brought back by Dean Tian, ​​and he entered the Dark Vault of Heaven just after he came to Tianqiong Academy. It was enough to see that Dean Tian valued this student very much.

Although they didn't have any hope for that student, they couldn't say it bluntly, they could only tactfully let Tianxiu leave first, and the competition in the Purple Spirit Realm was the most important right now.

The corners of Tianxiu's lips curled up into a smile that was not a smile, and instead of turning around, he opened his mouth, which completely stunned the elders on the spot.

"Do you know what I said to that kid before he stepped into the Dark Dome?"

"I said, within two months, I will open the Dark Dome again after two months. If he cannot return by then, then I will not open the Dark Dome again!"

The elders looked shocked, some didn't realize what Tianxiu said, two months as the deadline?
If he hadn't returned within the two-month deadline, it meant that Dean Tian would not care about his existence, and even if he was still alive, he would not be able to come out of the Dark Dome.

This is too cruel. The Dark Dome is a terrifying and dangerous place that can eat people without spitting out bones. No matter how it is the place that can strengthen your strength the most, once you cannot get out of the Dark Dome, you will definitely die in the Dark Dome in the end. among.

However, that student resolutely entered the Dark Vault Realm. With that kind of strength, he was alone and had no way out, so he just accepted Dean Tian's proposal of life and death.

The expressions of the elders gradually became serious. If Dean Tian can say such a thing, he will always do what he says. Once the student really cannot come back within the time limit, then Dean Tian will really never come back. Regardless of his existence.

Next time if a student wants to challenge the Dark Dome, then the Dark Dome will open.
At that time, who knows, will that student named Chu Ouzi survive to that moment?
The elders looked at each other, complex and solemn expressions flashed in each other's eyes, and then heard the words from Dean Tian again, very lazy and casual, as plain as saying that the weather is excellent.

"With today's noon as the deadline, if he still cannot return, then"

"Just don't worry about him."

The elders were startled, and their expressions became more and more complicated. Although thousands of people entered the Dark Dome for nearly ten thousand years, they did not return alive in the end. When they were in office, they also saw dozens of people enter the Dark Dome. In the end, only Dean Tian came out.

Not to mention that student who is only a first-level spiritual master.

However, I didn't expect that student to bet such a bet with Dean Tian that if he couldn't return within a limited time, he would never be able to come out again.

Until, the next time there is a student's challenge, then the Dark Dome will open.
Unless that student named Chu Ouzi can open the Dark Vault Realm like the then Dean Tian at that time.
But that requires a lot of power, and there is a possibility of losing one's life if one is not careful. How can it be so simple to break through the exit of the Dark Dome.

Therefore, it is often the strong outside the dark dome, open the dark dome, so that the people who are still alive in the dark dome will be aware of the existence of the exit, and then go to the exit.

However, this possibility also has a great uneasy factor, either it can be felt, or it can't be felt. It all depends on the changes in the environment in the dark vault.

Once the exit cannot be sensed, or the outside is not opened, then the people in the dark vault will forcefully break through the exit and come out of the dark vault.

However, in that case, there is undoubtedly a huge risk. To break through the exit, not only the location of the exit is very important, but also the exit must have strong strength.

However, not to mention whether you can find the exit and break it, strength alone is extremely important. Once you can't break the exit, but overdraw all your strength, then...
You can only die in the dark vault!
The elders looked at each other again, with more complicated expressions on each other, but they still waited quietly behind Tianxiu. It was still three hours before noon.
Time flies, and the distant sky has become brighter and brighter. The huge vortex is still surging, but there is still no movement.

three hours
two hours
an hour.
half an hour
Finally, with only a quarter of an hour left before noon, there was still no movement in the huge vortex.
Going to deal with the affairs of the academy, by the way, the elders who transferred the students to other places in Tianqiong Academy went and returned, and heard what Tianxiu said two months ago, and the deadline at noon today.

After hearing about it, those elders were naturally extremely shocked, but they still stayed and waited until the deadline to see what the result would be at noon!
A quarter of an hour, neither long nor short, flew by quietly, approaching noon step by step.
Looking at the dark vault that was still motionless, Tianxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand in the last ten seconds before noon, and in an instant, a powerful aura burst out from his body, spreading The oppressive feeling that opened up was extremely calm and self-imposing, and it pressed straight into the huge vortex.

All the elders behind Tianxiu were shocked. Although they had expected it, they did not expect that the headmaster Tian would be so straightforward that he really wanted to close the dark vault.

Immediately, an elder frowned and asked in a somewhat complicated manner.

"Dean Tian, ​​don't wait any longer, maybe he is still alive"

As soon as these words came out, the other elders also looked at each other with complicated expressions. Indeed, with the strength possessed by the student named Chu Ouzi, it is absolutely impossible to survive.

However, just in case, if he is really still alive and just missed the deadline, wouldn't it be impossible to come out of the Dark Dome?
In that case, it would be too cruel to that student.
Tianxiu paused, turned to look at the group of elders with complex expressions, raised his eyebrows slightly, but said meaningfully.

"This is his own choice. If he wants to gain strength, he must pay the price!"

With only the strength of a first-level spiritual master, he dared to venture into the dark vault. He knew how dangerous the dark vault was, but he resolutely stepped into the dark vault, so he had to pay for what he did. cost!

"Besides, if you have the heart, why do you need to come out through the dark vault that I opened?"

As Tianxiu's half-smile words came, all the elders tightened their hearts. Those words made it clear that if they wanted to get out of the Dark Dome alive, they had to break the Dark Dome.

Just like the dean of heaven back then
Finally, after more than ten seconds passed, it was noon!
Tianxiu looked back, looked at the dark vault that was still motionless, and curled his lips, what a pity for Chu Ouzi!
Immediately, with a wave of Tianxiu's sleeve, powerful and terrifying spiritual power gushed out in an instant, rushing mightily towards the huge vortex in front of him, ready to close the dark vault!

Swish!
The huge vortex changed immediately after sensing the powerful force from outside. The center of the vortex suddenly became darker, and bursts of air flow flew rapidly. The outermost vortex began to gradually shrink towards the center, and it seemed to be gradually closing. .

As the vortex changed, bursts of rapid air waves hit the sky, causing Tianxiu's ink hair to fly and the corners of his robe to flutter wantonly, but Tianxiu squinted his eyes again, staring intently at the slow The vortex is getting smaller and smaller.

call out!
Just when the vortex of the Dark Dome was about to close halfway, a terrifying and terrifying dark aura suddenly erupted from the center of the vortex, bringing a chilling and intertwined atmosphere all over the sky.

Damn!

The expressions of everyone on the peak changed suddenly. Tianxiu suddenly raised the corners of his lips with a playful arc, while the expressions of the elders changed completely, and they looked at the center of the vortex in shock and disbelief.

There, as the terrifying death aura burst out, a figure slowly emerged, and the strong smell of blood and the terrifying death aura intertwined and dissipated, bringing a shuddering aura.

That figure, the whole body was dripping with blood, but was covered by thick darkness, there was not a trace of integrity, it could almost be said to be dilapidated.

However, that figure exuded an extremely terrifying aura that made one's scalp tingle, like a Shura returning from the bloody hell, a demon god who controls the world!

The aura he radiated seemed to have infected the most dense dead air in the world, and it was enough to make everything in the world wither.
Tianxiu raised his eyebrows and stared at the figure with a half-smile. The person in front of him was completely different from two months ago!

And the elders are more deeply shocked. Although they are also the peak powerhouses in the realm of defying the sky, the aura emanating from this person in front of him, and even the terrifying aura, are still completely exhausted. It really shocked them.

What's more, when they sensed the aura coming from him, all the elders were completely stunned by that aura!

Is this really what Dean Tian said, two months ago, the student who only had the strength of a first-level spiritual master?
