Chapter 277 39. His return
"They are normal in themselves, but their minds are occupied by something. It is not an accident, but a regular hunting that has been planned for a long time."
"We currently have no way of knowing that the hunted have such characteristics and conditions. This is also the most terrible thing. It means that someone around us will become like this ghost at any time. The only good thing is that the ancient city of the Imperial Capital is blessed, and the aliens captured so far are None of the mutants came from the imperial capital, they all came from the wilderness outside the imperial capital.”
Zhao Xingzhou stared blankly at the lights under the building.
It was already dark, and the lights of the imperial capital were like streams of light, reflecting into the clouds and even slightly illuminating the ancient buildings hidden in the darkness. The mahogany attic, with carved railings and jade inlays, shines into history like light from modern times, reflecting the years into reality. It's beautiful, almost unreal. Zhao Xingzhou's eyes were a little dazed and his gaze was divergent.
He recalled in his mind what the elder said when he left Houtu.
"Is the Imperial Capital... protected?" He whispered, raising his head, but his sight was suddenly blocked.
They are two slender hands like nephrite.
"Going to Houtu again?" the woman asked softly from behind him. At the same time, there was a soft and delicate touch on his back. Zhao Xingzhou stretched out his hand and held the two hands in his palms. This is his wife, Li Shishuang.
"I'm a little uneasy." He said. It was probably only in front of Li Shishuang that he would rarely express his feelings.
A leader cannot be confused. Even if he knows that the road ahead is dangerous, he still has to raise his sword and lead the people to charge in and find a way out. No matter how much blood he shed, he could not be afraid or shaken.
This is the way for the people.
The path that everyone will take in the future.
So in Hou Tu, no matter how the elders emphasized the weirdness and horror of this matter, he nodded indifferently, indicating that he did know about it and was making corresponding preparations for it. Among them, he knew the behemoth that was imprisoned in the hollow of the back earth. He was a demon king from the new land near the imperial capital, entrenched in the deep mountains. Zhao Xingzhou had met him when he passed there before because of the human cities that connected the entire north.
He was a cheerful man and they drank together.
But now, the will-o'-the-wisp in the demon king's eyes only contained the desire for violence and destruction, and no longer had any life left in it. When he was found, the entire mountain was slaughtered by him, leaving no living thing behind.
"Because of the ghost pupil incident?" Li Shishuang asked.
"Yes, even though the senators have repeatedly emphasized the amazingness of this matter, I still think that their evaluation is low. My blood is boiling, telling me to stay away from this kind of thing. Looking at the will-o'-the-wisp is like facing the darkness, The strong smell of blood can be smelled from the dark edges, but we don’t even know what’s inside.”
Zhao Xingzhou quietly put Li Shishuang's hand on his shoulder, "You know what's in my blood."
"Taihang Mountain God." Li Shishuang just said the name slowly.
They didn't pay attention to Zhao Xingzhou's changes at first, until half a year ago, he actually sensed the dragon shadow appearing in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the imperial capital. His blood boiled and collided with his veins. The terrifying power almost made him lose his mind. Later, with the help of the elders, they extracted the special blood from Zhao Xingzhou's body, which had a strange fragrance that could never belong to humans.
Zhao Xingzhou could not forget that kind of fragrance.
A strange warm fragrance like a peach forest.
He was assimilated.
The king who was trapped deep in Taihang.
Everything has a price, and the price of a life is that at this moment, the blood that does not belong to him flows through his internal organs, bringing strength and quietly changing him. He didn't even know if Zhao Xingzhou was still the same person he was in the past. But he really didn't notice the memory gap in himself. He was still himself.
Whether it is good or bad, Zhao Xingzhou will not judge, but at least it is completely good for him now.
And this came from the warning deep in his blood, and he had to improve his evaluation of this matter time and time again in his heart. Danger is never just danger. There are important clues hidden in it that they ignored.
What exactly is it?
Zhao Xingzhou raised his head, his eyes no longer looked down, but turned upward. It was late at night, the bright moon was in the sky, and the cold moonlight splashed on the earth, like a dream.
He suddenly froze.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the starry sky near the moon seemed to be completely dark. He had a good memory. There should have been more than a dozen stars that could be observed with the naked eye in that place, but now they disappeared without a trace.
"Hehe..." Someone was laughing, close to his head.
…………
A magnificent and huge star, surrounded by a vast ocean.
Vaguely, this star is changing.
The most primitive and basic... physical changes. But this process is extremely slow and almost impossible to observe. It is like a grand sacrifice. After the altar is lit with fire, the round sky and the square place reappear out of the darkness.
A figure was rapidly approaching the surface of the star, and had already entered the white arc.
There was the sound of chanting.
Surrounding that figure, there seemed to be countless shadows from the void sitting cross-legged, all looking down at the shadow. The chanting sounds overlapped and surged up like a tide.
The black veil reflecting Xingxuan is in the fire and is being burned.
A golden lotus about the size of a palm swayed from the fire, then scattered into petal-like sparks and disappeared into the lonely universe.
"Little one?" The voice was soft and confused.
"Little guy, you are not going to abandon me, are you?"
There was no response, only gorgeous golden flames burning and sweeping across. The figure at the center of the golden flame did not even open its eyes.
Someone is crying.
The sound of choking covered the sound of burning flames and was clearly transmitted to Li Xi'an's mind.
He remained unmoved.
It seemed that after crying for a long time, the voice started laughing again.
"Little guy, don't be so heartless. Look, I can help you kill the dead people on the vast sea again easily. In this way, your homeland will not be affected by the war. Can you bear to look at your homeland? Caught in the chaos of war? Countless people died, including people you knew well."
Still no response.
But Li Xi'an's eyes were half-opened, and he lowered his eyes to look at the indescribably huge star beneath him.
It was blue, with a sea of white clouds gathering into whirlpools, and he could still see the bulging mountains on the earth, piercing the thick clouds and coming into his sight.
There was a golden shimmer emanating from him.
Falling into the stars.
Jiuzhou Dragon Vein, Hongzhi Xingcai lied. He did not give the dragon vein to the mole at all, and still carried the dragon vein with him. How could He hand over the Dragon Veins to others? This is the cornerstone of the current existence of the remaining projection of Rainbow Star Color.
They stepped across the vast sea, passed through one ocean current after another, and saw the ancient races that still live in the depths of the vast sea.
Always arrived here.
Rainbow Star Color doesn't seem to believe that the supreme power that is within reach for ordinary people has been abandoned.
Is there any living being that can reject the power of the Supreme?
He was not angry, and His laughter did not cease. "So, you dragged this body here just to return the dragon vein?" Rainbow Star Cai said, he was indeed smiling, but what he said was not the ordinary language in the universe, but a naked rule. The utterance of this kind of language is enough to cast magic and attract incredible power.
He asked questions, but it was like the whole world was pressing on Li Xi'an's body.
You can't help but tell the truth.
"Yes." So, Rainbow Star Color got the answer.
He still wanted to continue, but was unexpectedly interrupted. Golden flames swept across, and Li Xi'an's hanging lotus-like pattern became increasingly clear.
"You have never thought that I came close to Kyushu's body in order to return the dragon's veins. I am right, Rainbow Star Color."
Call the Supreme by name.
"When you showed your power wantonly in the depths of the sea of stars, you did not interrupt my perception of the outside world. In other words, the power you showed was clearly transmitted to me, as if I was also the supreme one." Li Xi'an smiled. , "But am I really that? Rainbow Star Color, you are influencing me. From the moment you see me, you are influencing me, making me think... I am the Supreme."
"You want me to think...I am Rainbow Star Color."
"Power..." He paused, "If we reach an agreement at this moment, I can instantly have unrivaled power. The dead people in the vast sea are indeed what you said, but in a moment of thought."
< br>
"Even if I have the means to take back my body, it is meaningless, because... I am Rainbow Star Color. This body really... completely belongs to the Supreme One who died long ago." Li Xi'an lowered his eyes. Turn around and look at the empty side. At this moment, there was no floating starry sky in those eyes, only the burning golden candle.
"You're crazy." Rainbow Star's voice sounded.
"If you forcibly remove the dragon vein, the dragon vein melted in your bones and blood at this moment will be a fatal blade."
"Isn't this a good thing you did?" Li Xi'an asked with a smile, "After all, you need a carrier of power. If you don't integrate the dragon vein into my body, you can't show the power of collapsing the stars. I will inherit the dragon vein. , instead of being integrated into my bones and blood, after all, it is not mine and will eventually be returned.”
The voice on the other side was silent for a long time.
"You look like a guy."
"Who?"
"Ying, sometimes when I come into contact with you, I really doubt whether you are the precepts that Ying left behind."
"Of course not." Li Xi'an replied.
"Is it so decisive? You must know that even if a supreme being at that level is killed, he will be noticed by countless people. His enemies are waiting in the dark to prevent his return. Tianyang Realm will hang Ying's wings in the sky, It’s not just a show off, it’s an opportunity to warn the people of Tianyang that the Dragon King, who is known as the God of War in Kyushu, may return.”
"Even I can keep this body, I can't imagine that guy like that is really dead. Have you never doubted yourself? You are not yourself, you are just the opportunity and seed left by an ancient powerful person. You All the strength and proud courage have already been secretly put on the scale. ”
"Perhaps you agree?" Hongzhi Xingcai said.
"I am who I am." Li Xi'an said, and his answer was decisive, "No matter which identity I am, I am myself."
He glanced at the empty body beside him, "Even if I am the Ying you said, it's not that I am Ying, but Ying is me."
"Do you understand?"
As the words fell, the starry sky was torn apart.
Flames ignited from his body, igniting the black veil covering the starry sky.
It ignited from the edge and went straight upward. At this moment, the black veil was burned, and the dust turned into swirling and floating dust, obscuring Li Xi'an's sight.
Something was pulled out of him.
What bloomed together with the light rain in the sky was the blood flower on his chest.
In the dark night of Kyushu, many creatures looked up at the night sky.
A shower of light.
Without any warning, a shower of golden light splashed down. The rain curtain banned the dark night, and all living beings were bathed in the light and rain, raising their arms high. For some reason, they were crying. The joy welling up in their hearts crossed the boundary and turned into sadness. It’s the sadness of returning home after a long absence.
Deep in the ocean, a vast continent stands alone.
The man carrying the ancient sword looked toward the sky.
His face was expressionless, but he still raised his hand and bowed in that direction. At this moment, it seems that he has returned to the distant past, when the ancestor of Chunyang paid homage to the land of Kyushu at the last moment when he left Kyushu.
It was just a moment.
In the imperial capital, the laughter in Zhao Xingzhou's ears suddenly appeared and disappeared instantly.
Then, they saw the golden light rain. Everyone's eyes were on the sky, and the golden rain curtain in the dark night was too obvious. People were curious, and they gently stretched out their hands to explore their hearts. An inexplicable sour feeling surged up and overwhelmed them.
In the center, there is a sealed altar arranged in ancient palaces.
In the boundless darkness, a scarlet eyeball slowly opened. He was in a trance and looked up. There was nothing there, only darkness, but he felt it, felt the true vitality of Kyushu.
"Dragon vein... one of the dragon veins."
"I'm back..." There was a vibration in the four corners of the darkness, and his eyes stopped looking up and closed. The space fell into darkness again, and strange things felt something as well. They crawled out of the altar one after another, and were crushed into nothingness.
…………
There is a red shadow hidden in the light and rain in the sky.
The winding body is covered with scales and is surrounded by pitch black curtains, as if he tore apart the starry sky to come to this world.
The flowing clouds of golden fire extended along his rugged back and burned.
This huge beast was falling straight down.
The blood sprinkled the light rain, and he closed his eyes, seeming to be sleeping.
The rain curtain flows down his scales, and the wounds heal where it flows, and the scales that grow back are stronger and sharper. When he arrived, he shook the distant sky with his body, leaving a long, narrow and gorgeous trail behind him, like a shooting star.
Dayan, East China Sea.
Deep in the ocean, there are creatures awakening.
On the sea surface, light rain spreads, clouds and mist gradually rise, and the intensity of the spiritual energy rises to a higher level in this short night, almost turning into water vapor.
They left their lair with fighting spirit rising in their eyes.
It is foreseeable that this entire sea area will become a new battlefield. Around this sea area, the overlords of the ocean will arrive, setting off a bloody storm, and even an emperor may appear.
No, it should be said that with this level of spiritual energy ocean, the arrival of the emperor is a confirmed fact!
And the vast sea of spiritual energy that no one could see was filled with mist, and a red giant fell into the ocean. It was like thunder in an instant, and the ocean currents were turbulent and roaring!
