"You're definitely not Ian!"

The two swords were inserted into the scabbard behind him, but Garr's momentum remained sharp.

The white-haired boy with wolf ears narrowed his eyes and walked around Xio with great vigilance: "Your aura is wrong, it doesn't smell like a fairy... Even if you can cover it up, you should be a little exposed under my attack."

"As a swordsman, your hand and foot coordination is not normal at all. This body is not good at fighting with blades. You can only avoid my sword with precise control - this is definitely not something you have learned to swordsmanship, and it should be a big deal." The movements of a knight-level swordsman.”

He finally made up his mind and nodded slightly: "Yes, although you look exactly the same, you are not Ian."

——Why are you so sharp?

At this moment, listening to Gaar's analysis, Xiou felt confused.

The smell of goblins? This is barely understandable. After all, sublimators of the fairy bloodline do have special mental fluctuations, and most of them have inconsistent personalities or are different from ordinary people.

Even if one simply regards the goblin bloodline as a sublimator who controls the power of various elements to destroy, because of the goblin's high-purity adaptability to the sesame, it will give people a very 'refreshing' feeling. Taking into account the previous personality, it is ' Fresh and refined'.

This point is easy to understand... But the next observation about martial arts practitioners, Xio can't understand at all... She has never practiced swords, so how can she know what a swordsman's steps are and what a swordsman's steps are? Coordination skills?

——Ian asked me to disguise myself as him, but he didn’t intend for me to fight...

"But it doesn't matter."

But at this moment, Garr pulled out the sword again, and he showed a very pure and hearty smile: "You are probably the real dragon called Xio? Even if only the dragon soul comes, you are the third-level dragon." A super dragon soul."

"You are very strong, not inferior to me!"

"Let's have a fight!" After arranging his posture, the young genius of Sirius bloodline was once again ready to attack.

Xio: "Huh?"

She was really confused now - the other party noticed that Ian was missing and her disguise, but didn't care, and instead wanted to fight with her?

Aren't they curious about where Ian went?

But in fact, the truth is very simple... It's just concealing one's identity and pretending to be someone else. It's not a big deal. As long as there is no suspicion in advance, even if Xiou is discovered pretending to be Ian, no one will care too much. At most, they will think that Ian has some secret mission. Need to be processed, not here yet.

——And now, who appears in this subspace maze without a secret? Although Ian is a genius, he is not the first target of attention.

"let's start!"

Before he finished speaking, there was an explosion - and with the loud noise, Garr's figure disappeared.

But Xiou smiled and didn't panic at all.

yes. fighting. She thought so, and even looked forward to it.

It's rare to have a suitable opponent, a powerful enemy to fight... and it's also a rare opportunity to show your true power.

In Xiahui Territory, no one will fight Xio. Ian would occasionally play with her, but it was just for fun. Ian would definitely not be able to defeat the third-level true dragon with a dragon body and soul without using his full strength, but if he really tried his best, he would be easily exposed.

Therefore, after taking back her intact body and freeing her soul from the pain, she never really took action with all her strength.

But things are different now.

——Now that the other party has discovered her true identity, let’s fight seriously.

At this moment, Xiou stood motionless, but Garr, who had disappeared before, appeared behind her at some point, and an extremely fast wind blade aimed at Xiou's neck and right side without any hesitation. The shoulder slashed down, as if he wanted to cut the person in front of him in two!

Then, it was cut crookedly.

boom! The huge shock wave bombarded the solid spar floor, actually creating a crack in this theoretically indestructible relic of pre-era civilization.

Powerful ripples spread in all directions, lifting the corners of 'Ian's' clothes and making a whistling sound.

But that's about it.

"this……"

Garr's eyes widened and he stared in disbelief at the blade he was cutting on the ground, but five meters away from the target. Then he raised his head, looked at his target, and murmured to himself: "How is it possible..."

And 'Ian' turned his head with a smile.

"Oh."

Using Ian's voice and face, 'he' said in surprise: "Why didn't you hit it?"

"...It's just a feint. I didn't expect you to even dodge."

Garr pulled out the knife. His expression had calmed down, but the thoughts in his heart were filled with uncertainty.

Feint? How is it possible that if geniuses like them want to rely on each other to make progress, they must attack with dead hands - if they don't attack like this, it will be disrespectful to their opponents!

However, the sword he struck with perfect timing was inexplicably missed?

No matter what, you have to at least resist and dodge, right? Why am I actually five meters away?

There is no use thinking about it.

Garr strikes again.

The silver light cut through the atmosphere, and the shining metallic blade slashed away, aiming at the smiling head of 'Ian'!

But 'Ian' still didn't dodge, he still stayed in place with a smile, not panicking at all.

So... for some reason, this sword cut was in vain again!

The arc blade visible to the naked eye flew past an area several meters away from 'Ian', leaving a visible air trajectory in the air. Seeing this trajectory from a distance, the members who were fighting with other exploration teams immediately dodged in panic. When this trajectory hits the ground, a strong wind bursts out that can blow people away.

With such condensed power compressed into an ordinary sword, Garr's basic skills are enough to be proud of.

"Missed?!"

But at this moment, he frowned and looked at 'Ian' in disbelief: "What kind of technique is this?"

"Haha." 'Ian' laughed, as if he was going to say something, but at this moment, Gaar closed his eyes.

He roared angrily, exerted force on his legs, and his whole body flew forward at a rapid speed like a blast. At the same time, the two storm-wrapped blades slashed at every part of 'Ian's body!

In an instant, the dancing blades almost enveloped 'Ian's' body!

——If one sword cannot kill, then what about a thousand or ten thousand swords? !

But the answer is the same.

None of these attacks can hit!

"It's useless, Garr. Although you are strong, there is no way you can hit me."

Surrounded by countless swords that were extremely sharp and could cut him into pieces in an instant, 'Ian' stood there with a smile.

He raised his chin slightly, and with an attitude that was almost arrogant, he said to Garr who was still insisting on attacking: "Because your body and soul are afraid of me and afraid of hurting me."

"Nonsense!" Garr shouted angrily with his eyes closed. He slashed diagonally, and the sword shadow turned into three stacks, directly crossing all the spaces within a 180-degree range in front of him: "Don't think that just because you look good, If you can say such things, do you think you are a siren or a dream demon?"

But it was no use. Obviously the blade has covered all the areas in front of him, and Garar, who fights through pure seismic induction after closing his eyes, will theoretically not be deceived by visual errors or illusions.

But after he swung the knife, his heart sank immediately - because just like before, he didn't feel any hit after taking out the knife.

It was obvious that his attack did not hit the 'fake Ian' in front of him, but the other party's calm words were still heard.

"The reason for all this has nothing to do with me - Garr, listen carefully to the sounds of your cells and blood vessels. Have you really understood the feelings of your body over the years?"

The faint voice not only vibrated in the atmosphere, but also followed the fluctuations of the subspace labyrinth and penetrated directly into the spirit and soul: "Those cells that are tired and crying under hard training, those muscles that are abnormally exercised, those that have been tempered through hard work And the smooth sefirah circuit...this is the result of you persecuting your body for so many years!"

"In order to become stronger, you torture your body, in order to defeat the enemy, you first destroy your body and then rebuild it - is this really what your body wants?"

"Look at those tired cells, the blood vessels that are almost collapsing, and the speed, strength and knife skills obtained by squeezing the body. Is this really what your panting and trembling body wants?"

Standing on the spot, 'Ian' raised his hands, motionless, as if to embrace all the attacks from Garr, but 'he' was not hit even once.

"No!" Facing Gar who had stopped his sword and remained silent, 'he' announced without hesitation: "Your body and soul are resisting you and rejecting you - they already know that you are A bad master, only by turning away from you and obeying me can you move in the right direction!"

"So there is no way your attack could hit me, because you yourself are rejecting such a result!"

At this moment, Gaer did feel that every cell in his body was trembling slightly for some reason, and even wanted to 'resist' his own use, reject his will, want to resist every decision he made, every time attack……

It seems that what 'Ian' said is the truth. His body and cells seem to have developed their own consciousness and are resisting his 'master' - if he hadn't been strong enough to suppress it, he would have been counterattacked by the impact of the cell consciousness just now. Fainted!

"fart!"

However, Garr was furious, and the pure cyan essence began to rise on his body surface: "Psychic attack is psychic attack, who are you kidding if you say it is so mysterious!"

"You are indeed powerful if you can influence my soul and cells while blinding my consciousness, but if that's all, you should be careful."

"Next knife, don't die!"

Pure cyan mixed with blood light, cyan-red wind gushes out from the pores all over Garr's body, running wildly. At this moment, he has figured out what exactly happened to him - Xio's spiritual power is not targeting His soul and nerves interfered, but directly affected the molecular signals operating in his cells, causing his power to be deflected and his visual distance to be wrong.

This is extremely superb, even incredible spiritual power! Xio's spiritual power can actually awaken a person's 'cell consciousness' and allow the 'cell consciousness' to fight against the 'brain' and 'soul', creating what is almost the biggest difficulty at the third energy level, the 'Voice of the Inner Demon' Effect.

(As expected of a dragon in the virtual realm, a third-level dragon soul...if paired with a real dragon's body, I really can't beat it)

(But it’s interesting, it’s the reason why I came here!)

At this moment, although Xio's psychic energy cannot be completely expelled, Garr has understood her attack mode and found a way to crack it.

That is to use pure large-scale destructive attacks to exceed the limit of psychic energy deflection and make the opponent stop this interference!

(Okay, this is the time - the provocative words Ian taught me are indeed effective, and he is really going to use the large-scale attack technique!)

At this moment, Xio's eyes also lit up. Of course, she knew the advantages and disadvantages of her skills. The advantage was that her spiritual energy had a very high priority. As long as it was below the fourth energy level, the body was not completely converted into mind light. Sublimators with physical characteristics will definitely be attacked. The disadvantage is that this ability must be matched with the tyrannical strength of the true dragon body to have the greatest effect. Otherwise, it will be forced to interrupt the enemy's large-scale attacks with a fragile body. Invalid.

However, some time ago, Xiahui Ling's research on 'Miles' defensive psychic power had some results. Xiou just wanted to use his own power to simulate the effect of 'Miles' psychic power and test his pure reliance on spiritual power. Awesome defense!

At this moment, Garr had already gathered his strength. He took a deep breath and centered on his heart. Countless cyan veins lit up all over his body and radiated to the limbs and bones of his body. The surging heartbeat conveyed terrifying energy.

The Heart of Sirius caused the surrounding atmosphere to surge, and the sudden storm even attracted the attention of many young powerhouses and sublimated people who were fighting in other areas. They did not expect that not long after this started, someone would use their true power.

And at this moment, Garr moved.

boom!

His body stayed where he was, but the two swords in his hands continued to erupt in violent winds in opposite directions. The blue and red gale winds alternated and rotated, and a tornado of source matter erupted around Garr like a blazing flame.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, all natural sources began to gather around Garr, and the body of the wolf boy merged with the tornado. The storm wind entangled his skin, and the extreme air friction burst out thunderous flames, like Armor made of thunder and storm.

Armor of the Sky, Field Control—powers that should have been possessed by the third level, have been reappeared through pure sublimation skills!

Garr's body moved slightly, but just this slight movement caused a large crater to explode under his feet. The solid crystal floor was shattered, and his whole body charged like a super high-speed train cannon!

And a blade of light that was as fast as white lightning, taking away all the light, was slashing towards her!

"Oops!"

Xio's eyes widened and his pupils shrank: "I don't think I can catch this knife?"

Although she has defensive spiritual energy all over her body, and Garr has not eliminated the influence of her spiritual energy... But the power of Garr's sword is too great, and she can definitely block it with her dragon body, but a first-level The prosthetic body, even with her psychic powers... blocked it, but it was still shaken to death by the aftermath!

In Xiou's eyes, Garr could no longer be captured, and there was no trace on her retina. There was only a storm of wind roaring towards her. She sighed in her heart: "Now the prosthetic body is scrapped, and I have to leave early—— "

But at this moment, a hand stretched out from Xio's back, with a cold meaning, and the precisely controlled source of matter was like the strongest steel machinery, forming an indestructible wall.

"who?!"

Xiou turned her head in shock, but what she saw was her own face... Anfa used her prosthetic body to disguise herself as Xiou's face!

But to put it more simply, it’s Ian’s face!

But it was not just that, because vaguely, Xiou saw that Anfa's prosthetic body was changing rapidly, the details became more masculine, and the eyebrows and eyes were also shaped into a shape under the urging of the source. Details she was more familiar with...

"boom!!!"

With a loud noise, the ice palm collided with the slashing torrent blade. The huge impact rushed in all directions, and many members of the exploration team who had no time to avoid were blown away.

"That's..." Anfa and Isengard each blocked the aftermath, and when Anfa stared at the figure that appeared next to Xio in surprise, she found that Isengard next to her had a long face. The expression was breathless, but not at all surprised, which made her understand: (So that’s it, he has always had a back-up plan...)

(Ian is always there!)

"Can you actually block it?"

At this moment, Garr also noticed that his blade seemed to be stagnant. It was not only the feeling of cutting into an extremely hard ice wall, but also an emptiness as all the heat and movement power were absorbed and swallowed up. However, he was not angry. He laughed back and urged the wind even more: "This is what I want!"

The sword light surged again, and Ian, who appeared behind Xiou, also felt a terrifying force pressing down on his right hand. The arm of this body was instantly shattered and fractured by the shock, but he remained calm and used his source matter Maintaining the structure, it withstood Garr's sword.

You know, he is not like Xio who just brought a dragon soul here... His fairy ether clone carries 90% of the source structure!

The essence of the water element lies in 'transfer'. Since one place is extremely cold, then another place is extremely hot. Ian raised his left hand, and the terrifying high-heat storm beams gathered, and then exploded like lightning!

The crimson fire flashed across his eyes, and with a bang, Ian's hand and Garr's knife separated. The white wolf boy spun in the air dozens of times before landing firmly, and Ian's feet had already stepped on it. After entering the crystal plate, the ground within tens of meters of the surrounding area was filled with crushing cracks.

But he didn't move.

This scene was so shocking that even Aina, Galan and the Death Caller who were fighting stopped their attacks, and the team from the City of Knowledge at the distant tower seemed to have stopped moving, looking at this scene from a distance. One scene.

"...castling the king's chariot? Let the real dragon drive the prosthetic body at the front, and there will be no real damage even if it is attacked by a sneak attack, while the strong human being disguises himself as a weak woman and hides behind..."

Garr clenched his two swords tightly. He watched the two Ians standing together. He suddenly showed a clear expression, and then laughed: "As expected of a scholar, he just doesn't have the boring sense of honor of warriors like us. This kind of ambush is really interesting. !”

Ian: "...Why don't you listen to what you are talking about?"

I had thought that 'Elger's' justifiable sneak attack announcement was weird enough, but I didn't expect that Garr of the Cangtian Palace also had this crazy logic... Ian began to suspect that all the younger generations of Ascended Ones present might be... I have some mental problems.

"Just an ordinary tactical decision."

He spoke slowly, and Ian shook his head slightly, pulled his legs out of the spar floor, shook his right arm that was being reglued, and returned the broken bones to their original positions: "And this knife is really sharp. It’s amazing…the bones in my hand are broken.”

"Haha." Gaar laughed dryly and repeated Ian's words: "The fairy bloodline, which is famous for its fragile body, can actually take a violent blow from me, and the result is just a broken hand bone? Do you want to hear it? What on earth are you talking about? You are really crazy, you dare to accept the attack like this, and I really let you go."

Obviously, in Gal's opinion, Ian's behavior is much crazier than his own words.

Garr did not continue to attack. Obviously, Ian's attack and Xio's ability made him feel a lot benefited. Although he was still communicating with Ian at this moment, most of his mind was actually recollecting the details of the battle just now.

He is not a martial arts fanatic in the traditional sense, but wouldn't it be more exciting to be able to fight with interesting strong men than to enjoy boring food and drink? For these royal blood descendants who have endless potential and wealth since birth, there are really not many things that can make them feel interesting.

"Although I predicted it, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

To be honest, Ian did think that someone would challenge him forcibly, and Xiou would have to deal with it, but that should be the chaotic and turbulent period after the battle between the first batch of young strong men, and Xiou only needed to attack with Dragon Soul Distortion The spirit and will of the warrior, then Anfa and Isengard repel the enemy.

But who knew that from the very beginning, a strong young man who had taken a liking to him would take the initiative to challenge him, which made it too late for Ian to use his plan later.

But it's not a big problem. Even without the etheric clone, Ian originally planned to let Anfa use the prosthetic body disguised as Xiou to use some alchemy potion, pretending to be Ian... but the effect and intensity were not as strong as they are now.

"The power of the etheric clone...is exactly the same as my own full-strength attack with my body. No, because I don't have to share my body with Fudo Castle, which reduces interference, my control of the water element is more refined!"

At this moment, Ian also felt the power of the 'body of light'... it could actually make him descend into a clone across a long distance, exerting the same power as the original body!

What is the difference between this and the so-called ‘incarnation of gods’?

Ian already has more than a dozen experimental plans and several large-scale project lists in his mind, but it is a pity that he is not in Xia Hui's leadership now, otherwise he would just turn around and run to the laboratory.

[Ancestor, do you think this Ian is normal? 】

Not far away, the black-haired elf girl looked at Ian and Garr from a distance. She narrowed her eyes: [Garr has not yet fully demonstrated his strength and 'trump card'... But Ian, who was somewhat famous in the past, also Can a young man without so much background really be on par with Garr? 】

[…The talent of using a fragile elf body to hold up the wind-cutting sword of a little wolfdog reminds me a little of some guys who make me feel uncomfortable]

The ancestor's voice was silent for a while, and said leisurely: [Mosen Tiantu, Mukar, and Hilliard...these names are all names that you said had "little background", but in the end they stood in our era. The pinnacle person]

[Hey... normal? It is indeed not strange, but what does this kind of person have to do with normality? 】

【Follow him. There is definitely a secret behind him]

"This move is very similar to my 'Shadow Ze'. It uses the source material to build an energy-draining port for defense and attack. In times of crisis, it can counterattack through the energy-releasing port."

In the Yanjiang team, the Death Summoner, who hid his appearance under his hood, took a sip of the potion and his thoughts swirled in his mind: "But I have relevant psychic assistance - but he completely relies on the source of matter."

Thinking of this, this 'younger generation' who is approaching thirty couldn't help but sigh in his heart: (Master, Master... why don't you let the little uncle come over? There are too many monster geniuses here, I can't deal with them This group of people...)

"As expected of the key observation target that my father said, it's really strong!" Aina's heart was very simple, even with joy: "No wonder my father told me that Ian's physical fitness is higher than he imagined... Indeed, I can't do that when the blade of the demon's blood connected with the blood of the wolf is only broken."

"With Ian's help, our empire's mission will be much easier to accomplish!"

And just when everyone's eyes were temporarily focused on Ian and Gael.

Suddenly, something in the air changed.

——Buzz!

There was a sound echoing.

Countless insects flapped their wings, and a noisy sound sounded like rain falling on a lake.

At first, no one paid much attention to the sound, they just thought someone was sheathing the sword and making a clang.

But soon, they realized that the sound did not come from beside them, but that the humming and vibrating sound came from an extremely distant place.

From heaven!

"Wait, Tower?! Tower!"

Someone looked up at the top of his head strangely, then he opened his eyes wide, pointed at the top of his head, and shouted in shock: "The tower is broken!"

The tower is not broken.

But the 'original light belt' between the tower and the huge keel was broken!

The tower where the team of the City of Knowledge is located, the 'Silver Tower' that represents the 'essence', is shaking. Dark light erupts from everywhere in the tower, polluting the 'essence' and causing the tower to fall into a trap. 'Restart status' with flashing red warning all over.

【warn! Identify high-risk xenogeneic sources! The Tower of Essence has been suspended for system restart and purification! 】

The tower that was stuck in the restart cut off the source of light belt supporting the huge keel... and lacking one-twelfth of the support, the majestic keel shook slightly.

At this moment, a blazing golden-red light shone on the entire keel for a moment.

Then, the entire dragon body moved slightly, and the real dragon's head with six giant horns and four empty eye sockets slowly hung down, as if it came to life, and with curious thoughts, he overlooked such a group of people fighting at his feet. villain'.

"What happened?!"

"Can those people in the City of Knowledge really break the seal of the Twelve Towers?"

"Isn't this real dragon really going to come back to life?!"

Even if they are all elite exploration teams, they can't help but panic at this moment. Of course they will panic. Although the real dragon in front of them only has keel bones left, it is so majestic and powerful that even the slightest change may not be something they can stop. Understand.

However, the eyes of most of the core members of the major forces brightened. They no longer looked at Ian and Garr, but stared intensely at the dragon bone that seemed to have come alive for a moment.

At this moment, a drop of golden-red crystal light blood was secreted from the dragon's skull. After this blood was secreted from the center of the dragon's forehead, it was suspended in the air, releasing an extremely blazing brilliance, building up around it. Rainbow-like light patterns appeared one after another, forming an extremely huge inscription array, even larger than the dragon's skull.

It is extremely complex, with more than thousands of layers of gears interlocking and slowly rotating under an inexplicable force. It seems to contain endless rhythms of truth. Just looking at it will make people feel dizzy.

At this moment, a trace of golden-red mist spread like a rain cloud, bathing everyone in it.

"This feeling?!"

Immediately, all the people with dragon blood, or in other words, everyone present, were shocked to find that the source of essence in their bodies began to rise continuously, and the essence began to sublimate and change in an extremely powerful direction... That It's dragon blood! Pure dragon blood structure!

"Uh-huh!"

A tall, strong-bodied dragon from the Cangtian Royal Court suddenly curled up and squatted down in pain, pressing the two dragon horns on his forehead in pain.

But soon, his two small dragon horns, which could only prove the identity of Long Ya, began to grow in size at a speed visible to the naked eye - not only that, blue-black thunder began to linger between the dragon horns, and this Long Ya At the end of the long tail behind the human body, the part that originally had many fine, downy-like scales lit up with electromagnetic sparks visible to the naked eye, and finally formed a blazing thunder fire!

Changes like this are happening constantly. Some people suddenly levitated without wind, because a lattice structure appeared under her ribs, allowing her to float against gravity; some people suddenly spit out blazing white dragon breath beams, and he watched in shock as he breathed out The burn marks created were as if he couldn't believe that this was his own power.

This is evolution...or atavism!

Even if there is only a part of the dragon's blood in the body, the impure and unclean dragon's blood is essentially tempered and sublimated after being bathed in the golden-red light mist!

"Hey, do I have one too?"

Even Isengard felt that the essence in his body suddenly boiled. This feeling was actually quite painful. The blond boy's face darkened slightly. He noticed that the pressure in his internal organs was gradually increasing, and there was a force coming from him. A little bit of it is spreading throughout his body, slowly interfering, catalyzing and sublimating his body.

For a moment, the blood of the Corroded Dragon, which had been suppressed by the power brought by the bloodline of the 'Sun God Bird', began to become active again - a bird-like mark appeared on the forehead of the blond boy, but then disappeared immediately , black bloodshot eyes appeared around Isengard's eyes, and it took a while before they retreated.

In just an instant, the bloodline sign of the Erosion Dragon completely suppressed the bloodline of the 'Sun God Bird'. The surging blood even released a black-red light, which lit up from all over Isengard's body, constructing a Created an extremely complex bloodline formation.

Those blood vessels, capillaries, the structure of the blood vessels, and the flow direction of the blood all form an extremely complex inscription array!

A black and red formation with blood inscriptions!

——My body... actually contains such power? !

It was only at this moment that Isengard finally got a glimpse of the secret corner of his body - but when he raised his head to see if others had discovered this, he found that the green-haired elf girl was kneeling in pain. On the ground, Anfa pressed her ears with both hands, but to no avail. She said in a voice that was almost gritting her teeth: "Don't come over... It's not the time yet... I haven't chosen yet... I haven't done it yet. So ready..."

"Yes! I know I should have made a choice long ago - but get out of here! I have to figure it out for myself!"

"...Ian, do you feel it?"

Another time, even Xio was stunned. Although this was just a prosthetic body, she felt that her soul had also been slightly transformed under the infiltration of the golden-red mist. The pure real dragon whispered: "This, this feeling It's so amazing, this old ancestor is so powerful, his dragon blood can actually cause such a large-scale sublimation phenomenon..."

Yes. This is the aftermath of the huge source of dragon blood stored in the dragon's bones.

The extremely powerful dragon blood life essence stored in the body of the fifth-level true dragon, just a little mist leaking out, is enough to essentially enhance the potential of the elites holding dragon blood from various countries present, and enhance the purity and strength of their bloodline - -This is why everyone knows that the situation in Canaan Moore is not quite right and the risks are not small, but they are still willing to send many elites with dragon blood in their country!

Because the source of dragon blood allows them to get so many benefits! Death is indeed a loss, but as long as someone can survive, their achievements will be qualitatively improved!

But Ian's prosthetic body, which contained the etheric clone, stared blankly at the crystal light blood in the sky.

His etheric clone was also infiltrated with some of the power of the source of dragon blood. The originally pure fairy essence suddenly became more condensed, and even the soul structure in the etheric clone was repaired a lot under the nourishment of the huge power. The slight damage caused by the development of the meditation method... the powerful vitality even penetrated the boundary between the soul and the essence, filling Ian's soul with a large amount of mist.

But it wasn't these little things that really focused his energy.

【……】

"The top seat..."

Ian murmured to himself: "The blood of the top..."

"I see, this is... the blood of the top!"

【Anfa! 】 Turning his head, Ian said in a deep voice to the elf girl who had already stood up but still looked a little painful: "If this dragon is really your father in blood... the fire it carries should be in your body." right! 】

[I do carry part of the fire, but...'Father's' fire is too huge, and I only carry part of it! 】

Anfa had never thought of hiding it from Ian and others. She only confirmed this after arriving. The elf girl gritted her teeth and said: [But that is not——Ian, that is not the source of dragon blood or... It's the true dragon fire... that's the blood of the top! 】

--really. Ian got confirmation, and it seemed that Terra's top brass was indeed fully aware of this!

And right now.

The sound of a sword being unsheathed sounded.

At this moment, after bathing in the power of the source of dragon blood and witnessing the birth of the true dragon marrow, what lingers in the world of everyone present is no longer 'hostility'...

But a naked ‘murderous intention’!

Pure greed, malice, murderous thoughts and a trace of madness are wandering among the major exploration teams. Although some people do not know that this is the blood of the top, everyone knows that this seems to be more powerful than the source of dragon blood. Wanting something more precious is the biggest reason for their existence here!

Even Aina, who had always been the gentlest among the people present, was like this.

"Ian! Cousin Ethan! And two ladies, Xiou and Anfa!"

He shouted without hesitation, calling for Ian and others: "Come here quickly, the real battle is about to begin. We are allies. Let us join forces to fight against the enemy. We must not let the vicious dogs of the Cangtian Palace get this treasure!"

What he said is indeed correct - Ian's team is essentially a branch team affiliated with the Setal Empire.

The situation at the scene also became clear.

The Canaanite Moorish Maintenance Party is close to the Setar Empire, the Pillar Party is close to the Heavenly Palace, the teams from Yanjiang and the Capital of Knowledge have also gathered together at some point, and the teams from the Four Orthodox Churches and the Fairy Death Dragon have gathered at another place. .

The teams from Far Shore Island, Flying Flame Land and Junling Castle stood on the side of the Cangtian King's Court, while Gantrigam and the Seven Cities Alliance had already arrived at Aina's side.

From this, we can roughly see the alliance pattern of the Terra continent... I don't know where to start. The forces on the entire continent were divided into three camps, with many orthodox and small forces that remained neutral but had their own biases.

Being able to avoid the gaze, the Dragon Cult team naturally followed suit and merged into the Empire's team. The next battle was a real fight. Only one side could win and achieve the goal of this alien research institute's exploration.

but.

Really...are there only three parties?

Suddenly, among the three parties that were originally at war with each other, the most powerful and sensitive ones suddenly realized something was wrong.

silence.

It was so silent.

Not the silence of sound, but the silence of sefirot and psionic energy.

I don't know since when, the virtual machine gods that were constantly invading the outside of the square suddenly disappeared, and the fluctuations in the psychic field that were constantly fluctuating and sweeping across the entire square gradually became calm.

"Wait, there's something happening!"

The Death Caller of the Yanjiang Exploration Team suddenly spoke a warning, and just a few seconds after he issued the warning, everyone present felt a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, or a kind of suffocation shrouded by some kind of giant. feel.

It was a powerful being... a being that was stronger than everyone present. It felt like it was releasing its momentum and approaching step by step with an unstoppable pace!

Just like the calm before a super storm that could blow away the fleet and destroy the city, the air in the entire square seemed to freeze and fell into silence!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At first it was just a shock, but soon, as the existence got closer, ripples visible to the naked eye began to spread in the surrounding source matter. Waves of ripples trembled, and a black shadow appeared on the edge of the square shrouded in golden-red mist.

Then, a figure wearing dark silver solid armor stepped forward calmly.

This armor has a wonderful beauty, smooth and ferocious, like a carefully designed killing machine, but its heavy momentum is like a mountain. Every step it takes, it seems that a mountain is moving sideways, with an unstoppable and irresistible force. The pressure of terror is coming slowly, destroying the psychological defenses of all those who want to resist!

——So strong? !

The moment he saw this figure, Garr, who was sitting on the supply box drinking potion, suddenly stood up. His black eyes widened and he stared at the figure closely.

An inexplicable tremor caused by nervousness or excitement made his whole body shake slightly: "Who is this? How can he be so strong?! Even a true dragon at the peak of the third energy level cannot give me this A feeling..."

"You're not on the list!"

And Aina also held the hilt of the sword. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't grasp it. The emperor's grandson said in a deep voice: "Strange visitor, who are you? Tell me your identity!"

This is actually just a scene, because in fact, a piece of news has emerged in Aina's mind that only the fifth-level, core members of the royal family, and a small number of the core powerhouses of the fourth-level peak empire can know.

A piece of news that made him swallow his saliva subconsciously, not knowing whether to feel excited or disbelieving!

The figure didn't answer the question.

Arriving at the center of the square, he stopped and saw a silver-gray armored figure looking around at everyone present. Scarlet blood lines appeared on the armor.

"Well, everyone is here."

A calm and cold voice sounded from the silver armor: "In that case, I will give my name."

"I am the Mahdi. The Mahdi of the Valley is also the one who will take away the treasures of this place."

[Ancestor, who is he? 】

At this moment, the black-haired elf girl who had always had a relaxed look on her face turned serious. Gelan asked nervously: [He...why is he so strong? ! Doesn’t the ruins have an age limit?]

[This proves that he is the second energy level under twenty years old and the third energy level under thirty years old...Open your eyes wide]

The ancestor's voice was also deep in thought. He seemed to be observing the silver knight with the help of Gelan's sight: [This source of fluctuations and sublimated structure looks a bit familiar... Wait? No, this structure? ! 】

The voice gradually rose, and finally it was unbelievable. Ge Lan heard the astonished voice of his ancestor: [That is...impossible...but it is actually true? ! 】

The voice in my mind shook my soul, filled with disbelief and a trace of confusion: [Is this the Immovable Fortress? ! 】

[Other than that guy Hilliard, is there a new generation of immovable forts? ! 】

That is to say, wild ascendants can also obtain fifth-level inheritance... but they can't move to the Fortress? !
