Barrier of Light

"She can't leave."

These four words swayed above the clouds.

Red Dragon stared intently at the ancient Lei Guang general in front of him, with the palms of his hands gently pressing on the handle of the knife. He had no intention of taking action, but after giving the notice, he patiently waited for Baixiu's response.

Baixiu's response was simple——

"Crack!"

[Thunder World Walker]'s majestic divine body tensed up instantly, and then he took action without any warning. With a slight explosion in the clear sky, the thunder body swept a hundred meters straight, and instantly bullied the red dragon.

The huge palm flashed with lightning, and it was about to press on the chest covered by the rolling red dragon cloak!

"Zila——"

The red dragon held the sword with both hands and did not retreat even an inch. He drew the sword very quickly. He pulled the short sword out of its sheath with his left hand and cut it vertically into a line. A long scarlet light streaked across the sky!

The forearm of the Thunder World Walker was broken!

Explosive thunder.

The next moment, snow-white brilliance surged. The Thunder World Walker covered his forearm, stepped lightly on the void, stopped and stepped back. After stepping for several steps, the two distanced themselves again. The elemental god's arm would not be really chopped into pieces for a few seconds. Afterwards, the forearm returned to its original state.

"I said...I'm not here to fight with you."

Red Dragon slowly put the dagger back into its sheath. His expression was calm and he was not angry at all: "What's more, do you think defeating me will change anything?"

Bai Xiu, who was sitting among the trees, frowned.

"..."

The red dragon looked towards the land.

He said leisurely: "Dongzhou's plan is very good. Those armored trucks should be the 'vehicles' for this mission, right?"

Don't wait for Bai Xiu to open his mouth.

Red Dragon continued: "I can guarantee that this little guy will be discovered the first second he steps out of Sangzhou Cave. The power of [Yunjing] is everywhere, and the power of the Sky God's Throne is far beyond your imagination. As long as he is willing, there is nothing he cannot do within the five continents!"

Baixiu said coldly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"I don't understand...it doesn't matter."

Red Dragon said calmly: "What matters is whether you want to understand and whether you believe what I say...whether you can send Gu Xiaoman away or not."

"Just because she is the 'Lord of Wine'?"

"Yes, just because she is the 'Lord of Wine'."

Red Dragon said: "As for other people, they are not important. Those neutrals, those ants... As long as the God of the Sky is willing, the [Cloud Mirror] can also illuminate them without hiding, but the gods never care about the ground. Those ants, the so-called 'adding up a little makes a lot' are all lies. Under the huge difference in quality, no amount of ants can kill the great being on the throne of God."

But Gu Xiaoman is different.

She is not an ant, she is a special person "selected" by the fire of wine across the spiritual network.

Although her realm is low at the moment, as long as she is given enough time, she will become one of the Seven Gods in the future...she can stand on the highest peak!

"There is a battle in the East Continent, and there is also Hades."

Baixiu took a deep breath and said in a strong tone: "If Tiantian wants to take action... we can give it a try."

The red dragon was silent for a few seconds.

He said slowly in a pitiful and sad tone: "Stop joking."

The air above the clouds also became silent for a few seconds.

"In the battle between gods... you have no chance of winning. Otherwise, how could the 'Wine Fire' return to the Tower of Source?"

Red Dragon said word by word: "I know that the Bai family has produced an extraordinary figure, and you are very proud of it. But no matter how talented the newly promoted Douzhan God is, can he compare to Gu Changzhi back then?"

Baixiu was speechless for a moment.

"When Gu Changzhi was at his peak, he didn't compete with the Tower of Origin. Why?"

Red Dragon asked: "Are you really unclear, or are you just pretending to be confused?"

Central Continent has been the strongest among the five continents for six hundred years. The two gods work together to firmly occupy the top position!

In recent years, the Sky God's Throne has reached the top.

The winner, Mr. Tianshui, made major changes, and the priest system shone brightly.

Countless geniuses have been born in the upper city, and the level of science and technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Mr. Turing was also born in Central Continent, and the host network of [Deep Sea] is hidden here...

The accumulation of a large amount of resources has made Central Continent the only super continent.

It is precisely because of this background that the Sky God Throne can continue to hide its strength and hide its strength after reaching the top... Over the years of peace in the Five Continents, except for the turmoil in the cemetery, the Sky has almost never shown its strength.

The world has long forgotten his true strength.

But this also means...

No one knows how powerful he is.

"As for the widespread rumors that there are two gods in Dongzhou..."

The red dragon lowered his eyebrows and continued to ask with a smile: "This is even more absurd. Not to mention the combat power of Pluto, the god of ominousness and disaster. Taking ten thousand steps back, Pluto was beaten by the light twenty years ago and managed to survive and escape from the five continents. , are you really still alive now? Why has there been no movement at all in the past two years? A few days ago, the 'Styx' in the disaster area of ​​Beizhou was almost uprooted, and there was no reaction at all?"

"Everyone already knows some of the truth, but is too lazy to confirm it."

"You and I both know very well that once a war breaks out, Dongzhou's apparent 'power' and 'prosperity' will be torn apart in an instant—"

"So... don't do anything stupid like this."

The red dragon whispered softly: "Don't let your own decision affect an entire continent."

…

…

The air a thousand meters above the ground is very cold.

The confrontation between the two became even colder——

The knife is not unsheathed.

But the situation is deadlocked and could break out at any time.

"There are some truths, but I'm just too lazy to confirm..."

Bai Xiu slowly spoke, then paused.

"Really?"

He said with a slight sarcasm: "This kind of statement is just for fooling children who have not yet developed their intelligence. Is the truth that Zhongzhou is too lazy to prove it? So how did the fire of wine become vacant?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Red Dragon's turn to be speechless.

Di Jiu, the God of Dionysus, was destroyed because he wanted to personally "confirm" the life and death of Gu Changzhi, the God of War.

"If the sky is really strong to this extent, then the Five Continents will not be the Five Continents... At least during the twenty years that Mr. Gu Changzhi slept, the East Continent will become a subsidiary continent of the 'Central Continent'."

Bai Xiu smiled, "But let me say something in hindsight, the Sky God Throne that you praised to the heavens and almost secured the seat of the 'Number One of the Seven Gods' seems to be deeply afraid of Mr. Gu Changzhi, and even tested it I don’t dare to take action in this kind of matter myself, but let Di Jiu, the scapegoat, do it.”

"..."

The red dragon's face twitched slightly.

He couldn't argue with it because it was the truth.

"There must be a battle among the seven gods." Baixiu said expressionlessly: "If you think that if I send Gu Xiaoman away, it will lead to a war... then you might as well, let's start a war."

Hong Long didn't expect Baixiu's attitude to be so tough.

He sighed softly and said: "Why is this? Do you think the battle between gods is such a simple thing?"

Baixiu frowned slightly.

"If a war starts now, both Dongzhou and Beizhou will fall into a place of no return."

The red dragon said in a hoarse voice: "How long has it been since Bai Shu was promoted to Dou Zhan, and how long has the Queen been in charge of the furnace? No matter whether you can win or not, once this war breaks out, there will be no winner in the end... The war between the seven gods will lead to the destruction of the five continents. Fragmented.”

"The flicker of a butterfly's wings can cause a storm across the entire ocean."

"After sending Gu Xiaoman away... fate will set off a storm that will destroy everything."

"Is this really what you want to see?"

Bai Xiu was stunned. According to Dongzhou's intelligence, Hong Long was not a merciful person who was "compassionate". How could there be such a person among the four divine envoys? How could Hong Long say these things to him?

The red dragon took his hands off the handle of the knife.

Volcanic ash floated between the two of them, and the dense gray color filled the void in the zenith.

"Think about it carefully, why do you and I meet here for the second time?"

"Say it again……"

"I'm not here to fight."

…

…

【昙朜】Core area.

The ridge of this majestic volcano is extremely rough and uneven.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a volcanic eruption here, and the lava spewed out. After all the wind and frost, it hardened again and covered the earth with a new shell. The natural disaster that year caused Sangzhou Cave to break away from the land and become an isolated island. , and breaks away from the interior of Nanzhou at a direction of 500 meters per year, gradually sinking towards the ice sea.

One day, this island will completely leave the land.

Maybe in many years... this place will become a piece of land again.

"Damn it, where is the person? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Suzaku stood on a boulder with one foot and tried his best to look into the distance.

His vision was gray and he found nothing.

His mental power was severely suppressed here, the volcanic ash was extremely rich, and the flow of essence in his body was hindered. Only by opening up the field could he barely resist the characteristics of [Tan Yao]'s mountain ash.

He has arrived at the agreed place with the red dragon.

However, only I have arrived!

The red dragon didn’t appear at all——

The worst thing is, perhaps because there is too much mountain ash and too dense, even the authority of the [Cloud Mirror] given by Lord God seems to be invalid. He took out the mirror and tried to contact the red dragon, but the surroundings were surrounded by clouds and mist, and every time When it was about to condense and take shape, there was a burst of mountain ash, which directly blew away the clouds and mirrors.

"Did I go to the wrong place?"

Suzaku frowned: "With Red Dragon's style of doing things, he is always on time. He should be waiting for me near here now..."

Now, he faced two choices.

The first is to set off directly and return to the East Cave. Now Jia Wei has not continued to pursue him... He is safe, so there is no need to meet with the red dragon, just leave directly from the core area of ​​[Tan Yao].

But in his heart, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Suzaku looked into the depths of the sky where the mountain ash was thicker.

"The red dragon is not here because of an 'emergency'?"

This volcano contains special power.

Mountain ash can suppress the flow of source matter... This is simply unheard of. Suzaku had long noticed the changes in the haze at the zenith, and he guessed that the next "Fire Trial" mission was related to this volcano.

The Tower of Source will never let go of important information of this level.

This way.

You can guess the follow-up mission of Wine Fire——

Probably go deep into Tan Yao and conduct an investigation!

Suzaku's eyes lit up slightly.

"So... did Red Dragon go deep into 'Tanyao' to investigate alone?"

His second choice is to step into the core area of ​​[Tan Yao]!

As soon as this thought came out, the suspicion in Suzaku's heart became more intense. He didn't believe that the red dragon would find the wrong way. He didn't see this guy here... This was the only possibility left.

"The red dragon seems to have no desires and desires, as if he is not interested in the 'fire of wine', but in fact, he is the one who wants the fire the most!"

Suzaku murmured: "Whether it is the local genius of Sangzhou Cave or the tide of extraordinary beasts, it is actually not an important task...Mr. Tianshui must have told him the most important information a long time ago. The most important part of the fire trial is 【昙朜】!”

"That's right...that must be the case!"

After talking to himself, the thoughts in his mind became more certain.

Suzaku shrank [Lihuo Domain]. Although he was stabbed twice by Jia Wei and suffered some injuries, it was not serious. The interference of these "mountain ash" at this moment was not enough to make him lose the ability to move.

He walked towards the core area of ​​[Tan Yao].

The visibility further decreased, and the mountain ash floating around began to erode his territory...

Blazing waves kept coming towards him. After walking for more than ten minutes, Suzaku's originally firm thoughts suddenly wavered.

Above the ceiling, birds are calling.

Suzaku raised his head and saw two big black birds. Under the stimulation of the awakening experiment, the creatures in the entire Sangzhou Cave had undergone extraordinary mutations. These two big birds, which may have been no more than the size of a palm at first, turned out to be the size of a palm. It grew into a giant of three to four meters, soaring high in the sky. It spread its wings without hesitation, hit the sky violently, and then crashed into the crater of the volcano——

Not even the slightest movement occurred.

"Crash, lala, lala -"

Hot wind blew across his cheeks.

After a moment of trance, Suzaku suddenly woke up and became alert.

"Am I thinking too much? The red dragon is not here at all... Who would come close to such a ghost place?"

The top level 4 spiritual intuition told him that there might be danger ahead.

However, at this moment, Suzaku accidentally glanced and discovered some broken ashes remaining on the ground. He squatted down, stretched out two fingers, and twisted up the crystallized dust on the ground.

This is a piece of dried and melted gravel, with a scarlet cloak hem mixed in it.

The sensing ability and recognition ability of a fourth-level transcendent are surprisingly accurate... Suzaku recognized the origin of this remnant on the ground at a glance.

This is the remnant of the red dragon's robe.

"The red dragon...has really been here."

Suzaku looked pale and his eyes became cold and stern.

Unexpectedly, his original absurd guess turned out to be correct.

The red dragon came to the core area of ​​[Tan Yao].

Stand up again.

Suzaku looked expressionlessly in the direction of the volcano's crater. Step by step, he came to the cracked mountain pass against the resistance of the mountain ash.

The crater of this volcano that has not yet revived is sending out billowing heat waves... For those low-level awakened beings, this place is a purgatory on earth, and as long as they get close, they will be burned to ashes.

But for the Suzaku Divine Envoy who controls the "Lihuo", the temperature here is not too hot, it can only be said to be "too warm".

He stood at the mountain pass and looked inside.

Tan Yao, Tan Yao, this volcano is just as its name suggests... It is just about to wake up, like a flower waiting to bloom. It has just opened its buds, but has not yet bloomed its stamens. The light and fire inside the volcano is like the breath of a baby, a Open and close, one bright and one dark.

Between light and death, a bloody, scarlet flower seemed to bloom.

Suzaku's eyes were a little confused.

He looked at the scarlet lines in the volcano's crack, and his expression became a little obsessed...

A strong wind blew.

Finally, he opened up the realm, "elementized" it, and jumped into the crater of the volcano.
