Chapter 828 Difficulties in the Eastern Region
Even though they already knew that they had successfully left Dongzhou, when they caught a glimpse of the strange sky and the sun that was dark enough to look directly at with the naked eye, they somewhat realized that something big was going to happen.
"...Even the ancient world?"
Looking at the strange sky, Yao Wan couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan.
"Let's finish negotiating with them first."
Xiao Yan naturally understood what all this meant, but the current situation was obviously not something that the two of them could resolve, and the eight tribes had to be united.
Then Xiao Yan and Yao Wan returned to the Ancient Emperor's Palace in the center of the Ancient World Mountains.
As soon as they entered the hall, they felt the depressing atmosphere inside. Everyone was sitting quietly, obviously already aware of the changes happening outside.
"——I'm back."
Gu Yuan looked at the two young figures walking into the hall, his face trembled slightly, but in the end he failed to laugh, and his voice became much lower.
"Well..."
Yao Wan glanced at the others subconsciously, and not surprisingly, they all had this expression.
Seeing the silence on everyone's faces, Xiao Yan took the initiative to break the strange silence.
"Let's first talk about what we saw in Dongzhou."
"...Before Dongzhou disappeared?"
Looking at Gu Yuan's expression, which clearly showed that he already knew a lot of things, Xiao Yan nodded silently.
Then, Xiao Yan told them everything that happened in Dongzhou and what they saw and heard.
"The insect dragon transformed by the Taixu ancient dragon swallowed the entire East Continent. The legendary Spirit-Swallowing Saint King has already begun to move, and the Nine-Star Fighting Saint of the Spirit-Devouring Clan has begun to move..."
Every time they heard something Xiao Yan said, everyone's brows frowned a little.
"Legend has it that the King of the Swallowing Spirit Clan was killed by the Dou Emperors of the eight tribes at the same time. If that is the case, the King of the Swallowing Spirit Clan is at least a Dou Emperor-level warrior."
Lei Ying frowned immediately. This was not good news for anyone.
"A strong man at the level of Emperor Dou..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became gloomy. Since the ancient Emperor Da Tuoshe disappeared, no strong Dou Emperor has appeared on Dou Qi Continent.
In the past, such amazingly talented and powerful men as the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and the Underworld Demon Saint have never been able to overcome this shackles. Doesn’t that mean——
"Is it really that easy for the King of the Swallowing Spirit Tribe to return to the Dou Emperor realm?"
Gu Yuan shook his head. As the person with the highest cultivation level among all the people at the moment, Gu Yuan knew more about the legendary realm of Emperor Dou.
Merely relying on a cultivation level that transcends the peak of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint and an Emperor-level soul is not enough to overcome this shackles that can be described as a natural chasm.
Not enough.
And can foreigners easily cross this realm?
Gu Yuan was obviously not willing to believe it.
"...As a race outside the Dou Qi Continent, the Swallowing Spirit Tribe is inherently different from the many creatures in the Dou Qi Continent. As long as they have enough energy, they can grow almost infinitely on the Dou Qi Continent, and even reach the legendary Dou Emperor realm. ...In fact, there is nothing surprising.”
Yaowan pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this, but he recalled a certain moment that happened when he was in the ancient Bodhi tree's reincarnation for hundreds of generations.
——If nothing else happens, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave is probably the only place on the Dou Qi Continent that contains the key factors that can allow someone to break through and become Dou Emperor.
But even when he arrived there, the ancient emperor's inheritance was still not used.
If this is the case, the Swallowing Spirit Clan may not really need the original imperial energy to become a strong man at the level of Dou Emperor.
"...After all, the Dou Emperor realm is originally the realm divided by our Dou Qi Continent, and the Swallowing Spirit Clan itself does not have similar restrictions."
Xiao Yan said, everyone in the hall looked at each other, but there was no rebuttal.
After all, if we were to say who among the people present had the most dealings with the Spirit-Devouring Tribe, it would probably be Xiao Yan and Yao Wan.
The Swallowing Spirit Clan has always avoided direct confrontation with the eight tribes. Even in the first few incidents such as the Ancient Bodhi Tree, although the Swallowing Spirit Clan was involved, it came and went quickly. It was almost impossible to do so. Staying in Zhongzhou, the Eight Clans naturally have no chance to cause trouble.
But now it seems that they have already planned all this.
Now that things have happened, it is natural that we can no longer hide it, but there is no need to hide it anymore.
The existence of the Spirit-Devouring Saint is enough for the Spirit-Devouring Saint King to successfully recover and be reborn in ample time.
"...But now, the king of the Spirit-Swallowing Tribe will not be born immediately, right?"
Yan Jin was silent for a long time, then a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said, "In that case, can we take advantage of this moment to take a gamble and destroy the demon fetus of the King of the Spirit-Devouring Clan?"
"I'm afraid...it can't be done."
Xiao Yan and Yao Wan looked at each other, and a headache flashed in their eyes involuntarily. If the leader of the Yan clan really said it was so easy, how likely would they be to miss?
"Now the entire East Continent has disappeared, and the void has even turned into a demonic realm with the demon fetus as the center. Even if a strong Fighting Saint is in it, I am afraid that he can only barely protect himself. If he wants to survive in a completely unfavorable situation, It is probably impossible to destroy the egg shell of the king of the Spirit-Devouring Tribe with a group of strong men from the Spirit-Devouring Tribe.”
Gu Yuan shook his head. Let alone others, he himself did not have that confidence. Between nine-star fighting saints, with the same level of cultivation, it is basically difficult to defeat the other party. And if the other party is determined to support him, then the other person will be disabled even if he is not dead.
Xiao Xuan and Emperor Hun Tian from thousands of years ago are the best examples.
Not to mention the task of destroying the egg shell of the King of the Spirit Swallowing Clan that still needs to be completed.
A nine-star fighting saint and a half-step nine-star fighting saint are already difficult enough to deal with. Gu Yuan is not without brains. Even if the king of the swallowing spirit clan has not broken out of his cocoon at this moment, he is certainly not without resistance. Then It's no surprise that the ghost is even more difficult to deal with than the Nine-Star Fighting Saint.
If you want to participate in such an operation, you must be at least a warrior of the Fighting Saint level, and those who can really be used are probably the Seven-Star Fighting Saint and above.
How many high-level fighting saints are there among the five races now?
What's more, the current enemies are not just the Spirit-Devouring Clan. Within a month, Emperor Hun Tian also led people to visit the ancient world.
The Soul Clan is capable of all kinds of dirty things, and it's so easy to take advantage of others' danger.
Even with sufficient combat power, Gu Yuan did not dare to expose his back to the Soul Clan.
And when everyone's conversation gradually fell into a dead silence, there was a burst of hurried footsteps from behind Xiao Yan and Yao Wan, and an elder wearing an ancient tribe's uniform was seen hurriedly walking in.
“I’ve met all the clan leaders!”
"Gu Yun, what's the matter?"
Gu Yuan identified the elder's identity at a glance, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart.
There is no other reason. It is precisely because this elder's identity is to guard the gate of the ancient world. He is rarely seen in other places. But now that he is here, it feels wrong just thinking about it.
"Something happened in the ancient holy city!"
"What?!"
The whole hall was filled with the exclamations of many ancient clan elders. The ancient holy city is the gate to the ancient world and the largest city in the eastern region of Zhongzhou. It was the bridgehead of the ancient clan thousands of years ago. How could something happen? !
"Go out and have a look."
Gu Yuan's face suddenly darkened and he said.
…………
But when many powerful people left the ancient world and came to the ancient holy city, they finally understood what Elder Gu Yun meant by what happened.
When the abnormal purple light spread across the sky like an aurora, the previously dazzling and blazing sun now revealed a bit of coldness, releasing an uncomfortable malice.
"This is..."
But before many powerful men could react, they already noticed the smell of blood and the disgusting demonic energy in the air.
"Not good!"
Along with the exclamation, many people saw some people infected with demonic energy, their expressions were extremely distorted and they fell into obsession, attacking all living things they saw in the ancient holy city indiscriminately.
"Is it demonic energy?! Where does it come from?!"
Many people exclaimed, while Yao Wan and Xiao Yan raised their heads in unison.
"...Is it coming through Dongzhou?"
Gu Yuan suddenly frowned, looking at the strange aurora that was obviously stretching from the east, and the sun that was getting colder and dimming, and subconsciously said.
"Immediately suppress these obsessed people and send people to expel the evil spirit from their bodies!"
The ancient Taoist elder swept his sleeves and robes and immediately gave the order.
With many strong men holding the line here, the chaos in the ancient holy city was quickly suppressed, but even so, everyone's brows could not relax at all.
Seeing that among the rebellious crowd, there were even some strong men of Dou Zun level, it made people worried.
And not only that, the Ancient Holy City is the largest city in the eastern region of Zhongzhou, and there are also ancient tribes who are pressing the battle, and they are all in such a hurry, then other places——
"Immediately send people to the local area to inspect the eastern region of Zhongzhou to check the situation of this demonic turmoil!"
"Yes!"
Although it is still true to say this, in fact, everyone present knows something about it.
Zhongzhou East Region is the closest place to Dongzhou. Now that something big happens in Dongzhou, Zhongzhou East Region is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Although the ancient world was created by Emperor Dou, and was reinforced and protected by countless descendants, so that the evil energy could not penetrate for the time being, the small plane was ultimately an existence that relied on the big plane. Xiao Yan and Yao Wan were in the ancient world. The vision seen is also the best portrayal of the outside world at this moment.
And if it is left unchecked, even the fall of the ancient world will still be only a matter of time.
"We are really in big trouble now."
And looking at the entire Eastern Region of Zhongzhou that was in a hurry at this moment, the heads and elders of the other four tribes did not show the slightest gloating on their faces.
Even the ancient tribe was in such a hurry, let alone them?
This disaster will befall them sooner or later.
