Starting from the Dragon Tribe

The sky is filled with summer colors, and the leaves of the trees are moving with the sound of autumn.

It's another autumn, and the territory has shrunk by another three points.

The vast land, the isolated islands overseas, the places where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

A woman wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, chain-locked gold armor, and lotus root silk walking shoes walked out of the water curtain cave.

She cast her gaze into the distance and let out a long sigh.

"It turns out that there are times when you can't come back."

The woman stood up and looked at the overseas creatures with golden eyes. For a moment, all the creatures she glanced at retreated.

"Even if he wasn't in charge of Aolai Country, would this place be yours to offend?"

The woman's voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable dignity.

After frightening away the creatures outside the circle, she fell down again and stopped under the waterfall.

She cannot leave Aolai Country, and she is not the only one living in Aolai Country. If she leaves, this place will not exist.

…………

In the human world, you can see monsters coming and going all the time.

In the past forty years, the territory where they lived had shrunk time and time again, and humans and monsters had to live together.

This is a protracted war, but both humans and demons retreat again and again.

To the east of Tushan, on top of the city wall, an old figure was sitting cross-legged, looking at the wilderness in the distance, where he once played with Eriki.

But now that it has become "outside", he overestimated himself and underestimated the backlash of the five declines of heaven and man.

Although he had already reduced his territory by 50% before, he still couldn't bear it, so he reduced it by another 30%.

Nowadays, everything east of Tushan has become a world dominated by outsiders.

The Western Region was completely given away, most of the territory of the Northern Mountains was lost, and the Southern Kingdom shrank upward, basically gathering into the original land of mankind.

Fortunately, this land was originally vast and sparsely populated, but now that demons and humans live together, and with the pressure from foreign enemies, no trouble has broken out.

Intelligent creatures are always like this. When the world is peaceful, they always want to do something and fight for this and that. Only when a ruthless disaster comes and destroys everything will they unite as one.

Although most of the world's creatures have left their original homeland in recent years, they can still live and work in peace and contentment. Because humans and monsters are so close, they have learned a lot about each other.

In teahouses in the city, storytellers who make a living often tell Lu Chen's story. After telling it too many times, everyone gets tired of hearing it.

Some people who were far away from their homeland would also complain, saying that Lu Chen was too weak and far inferior to the one who once drew that circle. This led them to retreat again and again and leave their hometown.

But more people are grateful. Without the old man sitting on the eastern wall, who would be alive today?

The autumn wind was bleak, blowing the old man's white hair. A red-haired girl beside him was making tea, and the warm fragrance of tea floated in the air.

"Old man, come here, have a sip of hot tea."

Eryi smiled and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took it, and it was no wonder that Eryi ridiculed him so much. He now looked like an old man in his seventies and eighties, and he had fallen back to the second stage of decline.

The power of aging seems to be unyielding. Although I have allowed myself to disperse less energy, it is still becoming increasingly difficult to suppress it.

Over the years, many tourists have come to Tushan just to see his true appearance. Many people were disappointed when they saw him. They did not expect that the so-called strongest man in the world was just a bad old man.

The two of them sat quietly at the top of the city, neither of them speaking.

After a long time, Lu Chen suddenly raised his head, looking at the fog in the distance with a pair of bright eyes, his expression slightly serious.

The thick fog dispersed, and like a courtier serving a king, a man in a green robe came riding the wind. His head was full of emerald green hair, his eyes were like stars, and his aura was as majestic as the sea, but no magic power leaked out.

Wherever he passed, creatures outside the circle were prostrate and kowtowed, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

But for such a handsome and powerful man, there was a bloody hole in the front of his chest. It was pierced by someone unknown. He was still bleeding, and he seemed to be unaware of it.

Regicide appeared in front of Lu Chen's knees, and he looked at this man from afar.

Fifty years since the main mission, only forty years have passed, and he is already struggling to support himself. He did not expect that there is actually a powerful enemy of this level in the outside world.

Not only Lu Chen saw this man, but also the fox demons guarding other places on the city wall and the monks assigned here by the Yiqi Dao Alliance.

They were all horrified. Is there anyone alive outside?

No, this is definitely not a human being. Looking at the kowtows from those creatures outside the circle, it is not just out of fear of power, but more out of respect and admiration.

The creatures outside the circle spoke an ancient language that humans and monsters could not understand, and kept shouting while kowtowing. Because Lu Chen had exchanged languages, he understood the two words they shouted.

Ancestor King!

The green-haired man walked to the boundary left by the sword intention, stopped, looked at Lu Chen from a distance, smiled, and said humanly, "I didn't expect that there is a human being as powerful as you in this world."

"What do you call it?"

Lu Chen spoke calmly.

At the same time, the monks of the Yiqi Dao Alliance have spread the news throughout the world through the transmission notes.

After the senior officials learned the news, they became even more anxious and sweaty on their foreheads. It was obvious that the creatures outside the circle had bad intentions this time.

The monks of the Qi Dao Alliance on the top of the city looked at this green-haired man. It was clear that the other man had no mana fluctuations, but they couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts. They were like ants looking up at an elephant, unconsciously going into suspended animation. Stiff.

"Don't, don't be afraid, we have Senior Lu on guard, and creatures from outside the circle can't get in!"

There was a young monk who cheered everyone up and seemed to cheer himself up.

The green-haired man seemed to have excellent hearing. He glanced at the young monk on the top of the city, smiled, and then looked at Lu Chen: "What's your name? I haven't used it for a long time. You can call me Liu Feng."

"Lu Chen."

Lu Chen reported his name.

Liu Feng raised his hand and stretched it into the line where the sword intent was condensed. Killing thoughts gathered around him. He seemed to find it quite interesting. He stretched his hand forward two inches, and a tiny scratch appeared on his fingertips, and green blood jumped out. , like crystal emerald.

"King Ancestor, he really does exist in another realm. It's a pity that you were injured."

Lu Chen lamented that the other party was just interested in testing and let go of part of his body's defense. Only then did the ranged sword intent break through his skin.

"You seem to have a lot of doubts."

Liu Feng was not in a hurry to take action. The creatures outside the circle behind him were still kneeling on the ground respectfully, but there was desire in their eyes.

One of their ancestors has left that place, and nothing in this world can stop them.

The sweet soul of the lamb in the pen is special, and its rotation for thousands of years is like a mellow old wine, which makes people salivate.

"It's true. For example, you seem to be surprised to see me. You should have seen other people who are as strong as me."

Lu Chen really asked this, as if the two sides were not going to war, but meeting each other in a tavern to discuss each other.

At the same time, the humans or monsters guarding the borders in the southeast, northwest and all saw a common scene. The creatures outside the circle that had been silent for a long time invaded again. Countless creatures outside the circle were displayed on the border, with teeth and claws showing, as if they could not wait to rush. Come in and kill the creatures.

They were confused and frightened. Could it be that Senior Lu's circle was about to expire?

To the east of Tushan, the three heads of Tushan all came to the city after hearing the news and looked at the green-haired man outside with serious expressions.

Liu Feng withdrew his probing hand and said, "You are different from him. He is not completely human, but you have really lived beyond your limit."

Lu Chen was thoughtful. He knew that what Liu Feng was talking about should be the immortal he had seen before.

If that's the case, isn't that immortal just like him, defying the will of heaven and resurrecting his life, defeating aging?

He may have thought wrong about something and took a path that was originally impossible, but unexpectedly succeeded.

"Are those two outside the circle at this time?"

Lu Chen asked again.

Liu Feng nodded and pointed to his chest, "He was beaten out. Ten thousand years have passed and he hasn't recovered yet. But this time, I think he hasn't recovered much, just like me."

The wound on his chest was directly penetrated by the Ruyi Stick Technique, and the remaining will eroded his body. No matter how strong his repair ability was, he could not stop the wound.

"What's wrong with them now?"

Lu Chen was like a student asking questions.

Liu Feng was a little surprised, "Shouldn't you be worried about yourself? Are you still thinking about those two people?"

Lu Chen repeated what he said just now, "You are injured."

Liu Feng smiled and said, "But you are getting old and your body is no longer at its peak."

Lu Chen was silent. Neither of them were at their peak, and he was even worse. Not only did his physical attributes drop a little, but once the battle lasted for a long time, the decline of the gods and humans would kill him.

"No more chatting. I have to go back after I clear the level to avoid making mistakes."

Liu Feng said, waving his sleeves, and in a moment the heaven and earth turned upside down, breaking through the sky. The thick fog that had been hanging outside all year round dispersed, and the sky was cloudless for thousands of miles. One blow was so powerful.

The expressions of the people and monsters on the city were changing. This was definitely not some demon king-level creature outside the circle. This was a powerful person beyond people’s understanding!

Under the nervous gazes of everyone, the void collapsed, as if it was powerful enough to break through all means, and the sword intent gathered at the border collapsed.

When the people or monsters on the city saw this scene, their livers and gallbladders burst into tears. Is this the pinnacle of the outside world?

Even Senior Lu Chen's sword intent can't be stopped?

The creatures outside the circle kowtowed on the ground one after another, shouting about the power of the ancestor king.

They looked excited, but they didn't dare to go beyond it at all, not only because the ancestor king had not spoken yet to give the order, but also because the old man sitting cross-legged at the top of the city did not move.

When the air pressure that could break the sky approached the city, the strange smoke disappeared. A wave of confrontations, hidden murderous intentions, were resolved by both sides.

Holding the Codex revealed by the Lord of the Abyss, Eriyi exerted many states on Lu Chen, partially alleviating her husband's physical weakness.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the top of the city and slashed forward with a knife. The dark crack was like a huge mouth swallowing the sky and the earth, and rushed towards Liu Feng.

Liu Feng's hands turned into emerald green, like jade hands. They were clasped round, containing the universe. The endless sword intent and murderous intent were wiped out in his palms. His figure did not retreat, and the ground under his feet showed the slightest crack.

He stopped talking, rolled up his sleeves again, and his voice spread throughout the world, "Get ready to attack!"

As he spoke, infinite power rose from his body, and the law-like power swept across the sky like a sea tide. The remaining sword intent at the border tens of thousands of miles away was directly scattered, leaving a gap.

Liu Feng's words were addressed to the creatures outside the circle elsewhere. He didn't need to decide the winner with this man quickly. As long as there were creatures outside the circle that could get in, they would win.

The creatures outside the circle that come to attack today trace their origins to the five ancestor kings. When these creatures devour the origin of human souls, they will feed back to the ancestor kings.

From now on, the confrontation on the other end will determine the winner.

They also made a dangerous move today, using him to break the boundaries in the circle. As long as the balance tilted, they would win.

Loopholes appeared everywhere, and humans and demons suddenly fell into despair when they saw the incoming creatures from outside the circle.

They were defeated forty years ago, and they are still defeated today. The fact that the sword's defense line was broken shows that Senior Lu Chen is also in crisis. Who can be saved?

Just when they thought that the history of the creatures in today's circle would come to an end, the creatures outside the circle that rushed first were strangled by the invisible sword.

On the top of the city east of Tushan, Lu Chen stood up, his figure still upright, like standing on an iron wall in front of all living beings, but his face looked a bit older.

He was distracted and allowed the sword intention to manifest again, and the aging power did not miss this gap at all.

"Husband..."

There was worry in Eli Yi's eyes. She had just used a small prophecy technique to see that this Liu Feng was a veritable powerhouse above the fifth level and in another realm.

Although he was also injured, he was obviously still capable of fighting. As for her husband's body, as long as there was a fight, it would probably not take long for him to be devoured by aging.

"It doesn't matter, we can still fight."

Lu Chen stepped forward in the void, and under the gaze of everyone, he stepped out of the city.

"Senior Lu Chen!"

"Senior must win!"

Many people or demons are cheering for him because he carries the hope of all living beings.

But everyone felt uneasy, because they saw Lu Chen's old age, and the invading ancestor king from outside the circle was obviously extremely powerful.

Senior Lu Chen is afraid that his life or death will be uncertain if he goes here.

However, something unexpected happened to everyone. Just as Lu Chen took a step forward, the ancestor king retreated and disappeared into the sky.

Someone asked in confusion: "Is it because Senior Lu Chen is so powerful that he feels he can't fight and run away?"

Even Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this powerful opponent would avoid fighting.

But the next moment, the roar between heaven and earth continued, and the sword intent at countless borders was shattered.

The ancestor king did not retreat, but wandered around the border, constantly attacking Lu Chen's scattered sword intent with his tentacles.

Lu Chen's expression darkened, and the other party saw his weakness.

He is actually not fighting against Liu Feng now, but protecting all living beings in the world. The sword intent on the border is his separated mind and cannot be removed.

However, the scattered sword intent could not stop Liu Feng's attack at all, and it only continued to consume Lu Chen's energy.

If Lu Chen wanted to protect the circle from being invaded, he would have to constantly distract himself to fill the gaps. In that case, the power of aging would be enough to kill him.
