Immortal Palace Longevity

Under the burning of the magic fire, the earth was bare in a short time.

The smoke rose, and the remaining flames on the ground had become unrecognizable.

How could it be such a harmonious and natural scene not long ago?

On the ruins, Liu Yu retracted his gaze and looked at the scene in front of him, shaking his head slightly.

This is the world of immortal cultivation. The strong can do whatever they want without any constraints and reap the lives of the weak at will.

Or, it will cause heavy damage to the environment, which will be difficult to recover for thousands or tens of thousands of years or even longer.

"If this continues, where is the future of this world?"

"It seems that there is only one way to go, destruction."

Liu Yu's eyes swept over, his face expressionless, but his heart was turbulent.

However, he quickly put away his distracting thoughts and continued to observe the situation in the field.

After the battle between Yuanying Zhenjun and the fourth-level demon king just now, the battle around Lingwu City has basically ended.

The demon cultivator with decent strength and good luck has already fled back to Lingwu City.

As for those who didn't escape, their demon bodies and demon pills had been put into storage rings by the cultivators.

"Boom boom"

The earth shook slightly, and red light pillars broke out from the ground around Lingwu City, with a huge momentum.

The light pillars intertwined densely like a spider web, forming a light red shield that enveloped the fairy city that stretched for more than 200 miles.

Then, wisps of red mist containing strong demonic energy emerged, quickly becoming thicker, and stopped until they covered most of Lingwu City.

Only a small part of the top layer of the light red shield was exposed to the air, and the entire fairy city was looming in the mist.

Nine-door Heavenly Demon Formation!

After watching for a long time, seeing that the human cultivators had freed their hands, the demon cultivators who reacted finally opened the formation.

"Buzz buzz ~"

The three spirit ships Dingnan, Benlei, and Qingcang took off again and stopped fifty miles away from Lingwu City, but there was no next move.

Some shortcomings are small, but they are fatal enough.

Given the disadvantage of the three spirit ships being sometimes "slow to react", rashly intervening in the fourth-tier battle will not have much effect.

It cannot be the key point to turn the tide of the battle, nor is it the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

It is better to stay around Lingwu City as a deterrent force, so that the third-tier demon cultivators inside dare not act rashly.

"Swoosh~"

One by one, the golden elixir flew through the air, returning to the surrounding areas from all parts of Lingwu City without the help of magic tools or magic treasures.

"Tap tap"

The sound of clear footsteps sounded back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, the Dingnan was sparsely filled with cultivators, and the other two spirit ships were the same.

Compared with before the attack, the number of cultivators was still reduced by three.

One was accidentally taken away by the counterattack of the demon cultivator before his death, and two were affected by the battle between the demon king and the true lord, and died without struggling.

I don't know if it was too high-profile that led to the "care" of the demon kings.

Not only did he not attract the "attention" of the Zhang family, but he lost his life because of it, and hundreds of years of cultivation were ruined.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Although he performed more high-profile on the battlefield, he might be taken care of by the demon kings.

But on the other hand, if he could be appreciated by the Zhang family, or even marry a noble lady of the Zhang family afterwards, he would benefit infinitely and have a great benefit for his future path.

So although the risk is great, it still cannot dispel the eagerness of some cultivators to show off.

"Daoyou Zhang Tao, how should we act in the current situation?"

"Still launch an attack on Lingwu City?"

After everyone gathered together, there was silence for about four or five breaths, and a Jindan early stage cultivator couldn't help but ask.

After seeing the great power of the Zhenjun Demon King, he was already frightened and a little confused, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Hearing this, Zhang Tao did not reply immediately.

He put his hands behind his back with a solemn expression, looking at the Lingwu City looming in the light red mist, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

The Zhang family did not expect that during the "Royal Court Meeting", there were still so many fourth-level demon kings stationed around Lingwu City, including a fourth-level late-stage great demon king.

More importantly, it was the great demon king of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

In this situation, the situation was somewhat out of Zhang Tao's control, and he did not have a good strategy for the time being.

"Forced attack?"

"Or retreat?"

Zhang Tao had several thoughts in his mind, but he still said:

"Fellow Taoists, please be patient, wait and see when the elders will send news."

No matter which choice, it is a difficult choice for everyone in the current situation.

If you choose to force an attack, the "Nine-Gate Heavenly Demon Formation" is a difficult hurdle. Without the participation of the Yuanying elders, even if the Zhang family has prepared various back-ups, the chances of forcibly breaking through are not high.

After all, this is a fourth-level mid-grade defense formation, which perfectly matches the spiritual veins and earth veins around Lingwu City.

Choosing to retreat is even more unacceptable.

After thousands of years of preparation, it is unknown whether there will be such a good opportunity next time. Moreover, it is not easy to get the support of Qianting. Even if there are a certain scale of bloodshed and casualties, the Zhang family must try.

If this uprising fails, the demon clan will definitely make full preparations and fill some loopholes, and the chances will be even slimmer in the future.

Then, the deck fell into silence. In such a tense atmosphere, no one was in the mood to talk.

While paying attention to the movement of the Gangfeng layer, he looked at the Nine Gates Heavenly Demon Formation in the distance.

Looking through the white clouds, you can see colorful spiritual lights appearing from time to time in the sky.

Even the extremely lethal Gangfeng cannot completely eliminate the power of the fourth-level existence.

Legend has it that only by crossing the nine layers of Gangfeng can you truly reach the outside of the world!

But to cross the nine layers of Gangfeng, you must be a great master in the Refining Void Stage.

Jindan stage cultivators can only involve the first three layers of Gangfeng at most, while Yuanying stage cultivators can enter the middle three layers of Gangfeng.

As for the seventh, eighth and ninth layers of Gangfeng, it is difficult for those who are not in the realm of transformation to enter. Those who are not strong enough to enter will only end up with no bones left!

Legend has it that in ancient times, the nine layers of Gangfeng were also called "Nine Heavens", which also gave birth to countless geniuses and spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

But after the ancient war, the Nine Heavens have lost all their wonders and seem to be unable to breed vitality.

The only thing left is destruction.

I don't know when it started, but Gangfeng began to blow in the Nine Heavens, and it could no longer accommodate any living beings.

Every breath you stay in the Nine Heavens, you have to endure the indiscriminate attack of the strong winds from all directions.

So gradually, the name "Nine Heavens" is gradually no longer mentioned, and it is replaced by the-Strong Wind Layer.

The lowest first layer of the Strong Wind Layer is 30,000 feet above the ground, and transparent strong winds blow by all the time.

Although the power of each strong wind is only about the same as the third-level low-grade spell, compared with the spells cast by cultivators, as long as you are in the strong wind layer, you have to endure attacks all the time.

Every minute and every second, there are countless strong winds like the third-level low-grade spells!

In this case, even if there is a good magic weapon, ordinary golden elixir cannot stand for too long, otherwise it will die due to exhaustion of mana.

Only the top part of the same realm can stand for a long time.

Of course, since the strong wind layer has no vitality, and it can't breed spiritual objects of heaven and earth, not many cultivators are willing to explore this place.

Over time, for most cultivators, "Gangfeng Layer" is an extremely unfamiliar term.

…

At this time, there were seven huge demon shadows standing on the first layer of Gangfeng Layer, each one a hundred feet tall.

Across from the demon shadows, there were seven cultivators facing each other from a distance.

"Boom boom"

The two sides fought fiercely, and the roars continued without stopping for a moment.

The transparent Gangfeng, which ordinary Jindan feared like a tiger, had no effect on these beings. The Gangfeng that blew over all the time was easily blocked by a seemingly thin shield.

Even those fourth-level demon kings with strong demon bodies were able to resist these Gangfeng with their physical bodies alone, and completely regarded them as non-existent, without suffering any injuries.

It was only equivalent to the attack of the third-level inferior, and the power was still too weak for them.

In front of the power of the fourth-level battle, the power caused by the first layer of Gangfeng was completely not enough.

With a higher "essence", the aftermath of the fight even passed through many obstacles and came to the sky, turning into the scene seen by Liu Yu and others, that is, the colorful glow.

For the keen spiritual perception and senses of the fourth-level existence, each breath is very "long".

In just one breath, they may have fought dozens of times, or even more.

After more than ten breaths, both sides have won and lost. A Yuanying Zhenjun and a fourth-level demon king have fallen in the fight just now.

Even their Yuanying and demon babies were not spared, and there is no possibility of rebirth.

However, as time goes by, because the two demons Quexingye had suffered serious injuries before, their strength was greatly affected, so overall the demon clan is still slightly at a disadvantage.

"Wait."

In more than ten breaths, I don't know how many times they fought, and it was as difficult to tell the winner as before. The purple-eyed demon king suddenly sent a voice message.

"Hmm?"

Tianling Zhenjun's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, but he was worried that it was a trick of this demon, and he had no intention of stopping.

"Boom boom"

The roar of the fourth-level fight covered the sound of the strong wind, as if the dangerous atmosphere here has faded a lot.

Seeing this, the purple-eyed demon king's face sank, and when he saw that his side was at a disadvantage, he still had no choice but to continue to transmit his voice:

"Wait, Lingwu City is indeed important, but is it really worth it for us to risk our lives for it?"

"Daoyou Tianling, according to the current situation, even if you can win, how many people will be left in the end?"

"Although your human cultivators practice fast, it takes hundreds or thousands of years to practice to the current realm. Do you really have to fight for it?"

"Why don't we stop here and let those third-level juniors decide how the battle will go?"

After finishing the words in one breath, the demon summoned up his magic power to force Tianling Zhenjun back, and stopped attacking first.

The purple-eyed demon king was born in the Fire Phoenix Clan. His talent and bloodline are top among his clansmen, and there are countless cultivation resources in front of him. He really doesn't want to fight to the death with cultivators of the same level just because of a Lingwu City.

Besides, this Tianling Zhenjun is an old rival of his, and they have fought several times and are evenly matched.

Who knows if he still has a trump card? If they really fight to the death, it is really uncertain who will live and who will die.

Therefore, the Purple Eyed Demon King thought of such a way to avoid a fight to the death.

Anyway, there is the "Nine Gates Heavenly Demon Formation" to protect it. With the performance of the three spirit ships and those Jindan cultivators, he does not think that the formation can be broken.

As long as time can be delayed, the situation will be different immediately when the reinforcements arrive.

Even if the formation is broken and the bet is lost, it does not mean that the bet will be fulfilled.

"Okay."

After thinking for a few breaths, Tianling Zhenjun agreed to the Purple Eyed Demon King's conditions for some unknown reason.

Even the other five Zhang family Zhenjuns showed puzzlement on their faces.

There are still many fourth-level demon kings in the six continents of Annan. The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

However, the great monks and the great demon kings are the ones who can really make the decision for both sides. The two have made a decision, and they cannot change it even if they have complaints.

So just like that, the two sides agreed to complement each other in intervening in the war in Lingwu City, allowing the third-level "junior" to decide the direction of the situation.

And the Zhenjun and the demon king can only watch from hundreds of miles away.

…

In the anxious waiting, every minute and every second seemed to be particularly long.

When it comes to life and property, even the Jindan monks can't stay calm, and all kinds of expressions can't help but appear on their faces.

Fear, excitement, cruelty, panic.

Although Liu Yu had a blank expression on his face and looked calm on the surface, his heart couldn't help but ripple.

In the face of death, who can be truly calm? !

"Huh?"

After a period of calm for about twenty breaths, a sudden uproar broke out on the three spirit ships.

The Jindan soon discovered that the movement of the Gangfeng layer disappeared, and the colorful spiritual light disappeared.

"Could the fourth-level battle end so soon?"

Some cultivators' faces changed, and they secretly guessed, not daring to breathe, as if the judgment of fate was about to come.

Everyone looked intently, but there was no movement for a long time, and no winner appeared.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Tao, Zhang Ziping, and Kong Lingxiu's expressions moved, as if they had received some information.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Tao, have the True Lords sent any news?"

At this time, the cultivators were naturally very sensitive to the movements around them. A cultivator had noticed the abnormal expressions of the three people for a long time and immediately asked.

Although many of them vowed before setting off, claiming that they would not retreat a step until death, most of the cultivators were ready to run away at this time.

If the situation was a little wrong, they would immediately grease the soles of their shoes.

Only a little bit, still embracing the persistence in the heart.

"Just now, Elder Tianling sent a message that after a fierce battle, the True Lord and the Demon King have reached an agreement to temporarily cease fire."

"The success or failure of this battle will be determined by whether we can break through Lingwu City."

Knowing that this is not the time to hide, Zhang Tao quickly organized his words in his mind and spoke immediately.

"What?!"

Hearing this, a considerable number of cultivators turned ugly, but with a bit of helplessness.

How could they not know the reason?

It sounds good, but it's not those "old guys" who are afraid of death and don't want to fight to the death, so we have to fight to the death!

Of course, they dare not say this directly, and many cultivators just curse in their hearts.

Only some scattered cultivators, who have seen many similar things, have little change in their faces.
