Back to a few days ago, the Battle of Bingzhou had just ended. Princess Ji Xuan and Prince Lian returned to Yanjing with the Ultrasonic Flying Beast Army and the Snow Sculpture Army.
Ji Xuan almost landed on the palace at the fastest speed and entered the main hall.
Prince Yan still stood quietly in front of the big map, motionless. He was in this posture when Ji Xuan left, and now that the Bingzhou War is over, when Princess Ji Xuan returns, he still has this posture, as if he has not changed.
Hearing the footsteps of Princess Ji Xuan walking in, Prince Yan trembled slightly, the hairs on his neck almost stood on end.
It must be bad news for Ji Xuan to come back so soon. If the Battle of Bingzhou was won, there was no need for Ji Xuan to come back to report the news in person, just send a random Blackwater Terrace expert.
Moreover, Ji Xuan's return so quickly proved that the battle was abnormal, it ended in less than a day, and the army of the Dagan Empire was far from being that powerful.
So, there is a possibility that the worst has happened. Thinking of this, Prince Dayan trembled again.
"I didn't stand in front of the map all the time, I just turned around again." Prince Yan said: "After you left Yanjing, I waited for news here, and I didn't have anything to do, so I just stared at the map in a daze."
This is not the usual prince's tone of speech, it is too simple.
Princess Ji Xuan said: "We lost, Shen Lang came back, and his dragon was resurrected, all of our 100 super dragon regrets were captured by him, the 100-mile Bingzhou defense line was wiped out, and about 300,000 troops were killed. Shen Lang's army has entered Bingzhou, the 400,000 troops of Bingzhou retreated, and all the people of Bingzhou surrendered, Shen Lang released us back."
This is probably the most concise and straightforward narrative, without any emotional rendering or literary grace.
After the Prince Yan finished listening, he still stood motionless, no longer trembling, because it seemed that there was no such surprise, but a chill first emerged from the back, then spread all over the body, and finally seemed to lose consciousness.
The worst, worst-case scenario happened.
However, Prince Yan did not vomit blood, he stood upright for a while, and when the coldness faded from his body, his legs returned to his body, and he walked back to his seat and sat down.
Then the two remained silent.
After a while, Prince Yan said: "That's okay, that's okay, at least for me, everything is over."
Prince Yan lay back, not a tactical recoil, but a half-paralyzed throne.
"Everything that is happening now has exceeded my authority and ability, and everything will be reversed by my father." Prince Dayan actually let out a long breath.
Princess Ji Xuan couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, feeling sad for the prince, she wanted to despise him at first, but after thinking for a while, she still described it as sad.
You really can't tell when people are not at the critical moment, everyone looks wise and mighty. As a result, when the critical moment came, all the roots were exposed.
Ning Yi, the crown prince of the Yue Kingdom at that time, was like this. He performed very well in Tianyue City, but after entering the Nanbei Kingdom and fighting Jinjun, he behaved so unbearably.
The same is true for Prince Yan in front of her. During the past few years when her father was in retreat, he has done well in all aspects. He is good at acting, and he is also very good at power tactics. , I can't see any shortcomings, it is indeed a wise master.
However, the war in the past six months still showed his weakness.
It has been about 230 days since the start of the war. The Great Yan Empire was caught off guard and suffered a big defeat, then gathered superior forces and pushed back, and then began to show signs of decline and defeat.
This kind of ups and downs is a huge torture for Prince Dayan, almost squeezing his will to the extreme.
That's why he made the decision to launch Dragon's Regret frantically before. Although he was calm on the surface, his willpower was about to collapse.
Now that Shen Lang came back, the giant dragon showed great power, and he was defeated in the battle of Bingzhou, Prince Dayan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
This exhaled breath completely betrayed his weakness.
But Princess Ji Xuan didn't blame the prince, because he was a prince who grew up in adversity, so it's understandable that he was a little less able to bear it.
Now it seems that Ying Wuming is still very powerful, he can definitely be called a traitor, and he has enough toughness, despicable and ruthless. It's a pity, before he came to remember to start his career against the sky, he was instantly killed by Shen Lang. Life is really humbling.
"Shen Lang's giant dragon, has there been any changes?" Prince Yan said: "Has it become stronger?"
Princess Ji Xuan said: "I can't tell, it seems to be the same as before. But it's just a superficial appearance, since it can be revived in more than half a year, it must have become stronger."
The prince said: "I'm going to see my father right now."
Then, Prince Dayan left the main hall, walked towards the Tower of Taboo, and said with some emotions: "Father, Shen Lang has returned, and his dragon has also been revived, destroying the Bingzhou defense line and destroying our 30 Wan Dajun. But he spared the 400,000 troops in Bingzhou City and let Ji Xuan back."
It is still a straightforward narrative without any rendering.
There was complete silence in the Tower of Taboo, and the emperor seemed to be asleep without any response.
After a long while, Emperor Dayan said: "Understood."
The prince still knelt there, he didn't ask his father to forgive his sins, it is meaningless to say this now.
The matter has exceeded his ability, and the next step is the decisive battle between Shen Lang and Emperor Dayan. Once lost, the Ji family will lose the position of Emperor of the Eastern World, and there is no forgiveness.
The emperor said: "Send all the remaining dragon regrets, and send them to the Tower of Taboo."
The prince was stunned, isn't the Forbidden Tower an absolute forbidden place? No one has been allowed to enter for hundreds of years, even the prince himself is no exception.
The emperor sneered and said: "Only when you are invincible in the world, the forbidden land you speak of is the forbidden land, and people will listen to what you say. Now in the eyes of the world, my Ji family is no longer invincible in the world. What's the point of talking about forbidden land. "
"Yes!" said the prince.
In the next few hours, groups of ultrasonic flying beasts entered the Tower of Taboo, transporting the Super Dragon's Regret.
There are really countless Dragon's Regrets, a total of more than one thousand and nearly two thousand pieces.
What an astonishing amount
Ying Guang and Ren Zongzhu were awesome at the time, but the total number of Long Zhihui did not exceed 130 pieces. And the super dragon's regret of the Great Yan Empire, a total of one or two thousand pieces, how many strategic strikes can it carry out
It's a pity, in front of the giant dragon, the Dragon's Regret also loses its meaning.
This tower of taboo is like a bottomless pit, after one or two thousand Super Dragon's Regrets are sent in, there is no congestion at all.
In fact, this taboo tower is just an appearance, and the real secret lies underground.
Several thousand meters underground, there is a dragon pond.
After the Longchi of the Ancient Eastern Empire was destroyed and polluted by the Lost Empire, Jiang Xie's rebellion was revealed, and the Ji family replaced the Jiang family as the royal family of the Ancient Eastern Empire. Therefore, the whole country wanted to build another Longchi.
However, this dragon pool is only less than 50% complete, and the ancient Nirvana has come.
Today, the imperial palace of the Dayan Empire was built on the ruins of the Longchi, and it took several generations and countless costs before the Dayan Empire slightly repaired the Longchi. It took many years to revive the Great Flame Dragon.
Although this Ji's dragon pond is not as huge as the ancient dragon pond in Yujing Mountain, it is more than 1,000 acres and more than 2,000 meters deep.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
One after another, the Super Dragon's Regrets were thrown directly into the Ji's Dragon Pool. After nearly 2,000 pieces were thrown down, Longchi finally rose a little bit.
"Long, I really don't want to do this." Emperor Dayan said, "I really don't want to..."
Then his somewhat skinny body stood up slowly, the whole Ji's Longchi began to glow, his right hand was slowly raised, and the ancient imperial ring in his hand turned slightly.
Longchi is getting brighter and brighter.
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
The Super Dragon's Regret in Longchi exploded.
The first one, the second one, the third one... the last nearly 2,000 Super Dragon's Regrets all exploded.
This... how powerful is it? It's completely indescribable.
A Super Dragon's Regret can completely destroy everything within forty square kilometers.
Two thousand Super Dragon's Regrets are enough to destroy Yanjing forty or fifty times, not just erased from this world, but evaporated directly.
Ordinarily, an explosion of this level would wipe out the Great Yan Palace in an instant, and then the entire Yanjing.
But it didn't work out! It's really like a nuclear explosion between teacups.
After all the Dragon's Regret exploded, the endless energy seemed to be completely swallowed by a black hole.
And this black hole is the giant dragon of Dayan. The energy from the explosion of nearly 2,000 Dragon's Regrets was instantly swallowed by him.
Immediately afterwards, all the meat in the huge dragon pond of more than 1,000 mu dried up in an instant, and was also swallowed up by the great flame dragon.
After a while, Longchi was full again.
It's just that this time it's no longer a body full of various energies and substances, but just clear water.
The dragon pool became the most ordinary pool because all the energy was swallowed by the Great Flame Dragon.
The Great Flame Dragon opened his eyes again and looked at the emperor.
Its two eyes are different, one is blue and the other is yellow-red. And that blue eye was attacked by Shen Lang with the energy vortex of the hell soul bead.
"Owner… "
"Dragon!" said the emperor, "What's the matter?"
"The injured eye can see things, but the field of vision is very strange, as if seeing another world." Long said.
The emperor said: "This is very mysterious, but there is no time to explore it. Shen Lang is back, and Jiang's giant dragon is back."
"It was revived after just over half a year?" Great Flame Dragon said, "This is too abnormal."
The emperor said: "Yeah, it's too abnormal, how are you?"
The giant dragon said: "100% of the combat power has been restored, and it is much stronger than it was more than half a year ago."
More than 200 days ago during the battle between the two dragons, the Great Flame Dragon only had 60% of its fighting power, but now it has devoured nearly 2,000 pieces of Dragon's Regret and the entire Ji's Dragon Pool, so its fighting power has recovered to 100%.
"It's a pity, if I swallow it slowly, my strength can still increase by about 10%, surpassing the peak." The Great Flame Dragon said: "It's a pity that we have no time."
"Violent development, there is no way." Emperor Dayan said: "So, don't make fun of Ying Guang and Ren Wan at that time, I was poor and rich."
The Great Flame Dragon said: "I have sensed Jiang's dragon, and its energy has recovered to about 95% of its peak energy, which should be less than half of mine, so we will still win this battle , even easier than half a year ago, and this time there will be no more accidents, I will kill Shen Lang, and then kill Jiang's giant dragon."
Emperor Dayan said: "This is a conspiracy. Shen Lang made Jiang's giant dragon show up on purpose. It should take a hundred years for it to recover, but now it has been resurrected in only half a year. Something astonishing must have happened to it. A miracle. And how powerful is a dragon when it can adjust its energy release at will?"
Great Flame Dragon said: "Master, you are right."
Emperor Dayan said: "Long, let's go, let's go to a place."
Great Flame Dragon said: "Where are you going?"
Emperor Dayan said: "What scares you?"
The Great Flame Dragon said: "The hell energy that Shen Lang attacked me at that time scared me."
Emperor Dayan said: "Things that make us fear can truly make us strong. This is another kind of death and rebirth."
Great Flame Dragon said: "Master, do you really need to take such a risk?"
Emperor Dayan said: "There is no choice. Only by defeating death, fear, and hell can we be truly powerful. Shen Lang and Jiang's giant dragon chose this path because they were facing a desperate situation at that time."
The Great Flame Dragon said: "Master, but we are not in a desperate situation right now."
Emperor Dayan said: "The real desperate situation... is invisible, just like the real trap, the real abyss, you can't see it."
The Great Flame Dragon said: "Master, you are the one who revived me, you are the one who made me, so... everything is as you wish."
Emperor Dayan said: "Then... let's go."
A moment later, the emperor rode the Great Flame Dragon, flew out of the Tower of Taboo and flew up to the Nine Heavens.
During the whole process, it didn't emit light, didn't emit fire, and didn't even reveal any energy breath, just like an ordinary ultrasonic flying beast.
No one even noticed that the Great Yan Emperor and the Great Yan Dragon had already flown away.
Emperor Dayan looked to the south, and slowly said: "Shen Lang, don't worry, wait for me for a while, and then come back to fight with you."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Like lightning, the Great Flame Dragon flew at an extremely fast speed, exceeding two kilometers per second, and flew towards the direction of the western world.
"Shen Lang, if you really can't wait, then you can destroy Yanjing. Anyway, the city is gone and can be rebuilt." Emperor Dayan sighed again.
From this point, we can see the difference between the emperor and the prince.
After the prince heard the worst news, he immediately let go of his burden and heaved a long sigh of relief.
However, His Majesty the Emperor has not faced a desperate situation, but has come to it as a desperate situation, and took the initiative to complete the journey of putting himself to death and rebirth.
His thoughts are exactly the same as Shen Lang's, to overcome your worst fears, challenge hell, and achieve Nirvana.
Emperor Dayan's destination was the junction of the Xilun Dynasty and the Extreme North Continent, the sea of magma beneath Huoyan City.
Of course, his goal is not magma, but the hell crystal under the magma sea, which is the thing that completely freezes the magma sea.
Why did Emperor Dayan know where
Any energy has roots, especially the terrifying and weird energy of hell crystals. After Shen Lang attacked the dragon's eyes with the energy vortex of the hell soul orb, it was tantamount to betraying the root of this energy.
From Yanjing to the ancient ruins of Huoyan City, it is more than 50,000 miles away. In less than a day, Emperor Dayan and the giant dragon have arrived.
When flying over Huoyan City, the giant dragon shrank obviously, because it was attacked by this kind of energy.
But at that time, Shen Lang used the energy of the hell soul orb to attack, just like the flame of a candle. And under the Huoyan City, in the depths of the sea of magma, this hellish energy is endless, more than ten thousand times, one hundred thousand times, one million times
For the Jiang family dragon, the ancient dragon pool in Yujing Mountain is a hell.
But for the Great Flame Dragon, why not the sea of magma under Huoyan City? Also a horrible hell.
"Are you afraid?" Emperor Dayan said.
The Great Flame Dragon said: "The boundless fear is like the hell of Senluo."
"That's right, go in, I will accompany you through this hell, this catastrophe." Emperor Dayan said: "Otherwise we are doomed to lose this battle. There is a chance of victory."
Very familiar, this dialogue is exactly the same as Shen Lang's at that time.
"Okay, my master, my majesty." The Great Flame Dragon said, "I was resurrected by you, and I completely trust you, even more than I trust myself."
Then, the body of the Great Flame Dragon shrank again, and it was only less than ten meters.
Emperor Dayan and his dragon slowly walked into the ancient ruins of Huoyan City.
When entering the gate, the emperor also glanced at the scenery outside.
It's so beautiful, the ice at that time was instantaneous, so many animals, green trees, and flowers were sealed in the ice, lifelike and beautiful.
One more look is just one more look, maybe you will never see it again in the future.
If Nirvana and Tribulation fail this time, Emperor Dayan and his dragon will never come out again, and they will be buried in the eighteen levels of hell in the sea of magma forever.
Emperor Dayan entered the ruins of Huoyan City, then entered the pyramid, and went down several thousand meters along the pyramid's underground passage to the end.
Below is the endless abyss, and below the abyss is the boundless sea of magma, completely solidified.
There is no air here, because the temperature is so low that all the air freezes into ice and falls into snow.
Emperor Dayan also saw Gui Wu in the middle, he squatted down and looked at Gui Wu's face.
"I didn't expect to see the face of my old friend here. It's really the same." Emperor Dayan said: "You are that shadow? Excuse me!"
Then, Emperor Dayan sat cross-legged opposite Gui Wu's corpse, and entered the mid-level dragon consciousness.
"Go, dragon!" Emperor Dayan said.
The Great Flame Dragon flew to the center of the magma sea and exhaled.
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
Countless dragon flames burst out from its entire body, instantly releasing a shocking temperature.
Its entire body turned into raging flames, exceeding hundreds of thousands, millions of degrees Celsius.
Then, in the depths of the sea of magma, there was a scream of incomparable excitement, as if he felt an incomparably delicious gift, as if hell was about to accept the wronged soul.
Within the sight of the giant dragon, the entire sea of magma turned into an endless hell, eighteen layers of hell.
Emperor Dayan said: "Long, if you came here before, you would almost surely die and be swallowed alive into ice. But now... it's different, you have been attacked by this kind of hell energy, we have already realized it It's gone, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Great Flame Dragon roared, "Rush to hell and be reborn from Nirvana."
Then, the giant dragon suddenly turned into a ball of flames and plunged into the frozen sea of magma.
In an instant, the completely solidified magma sea melted continuously, then turned red, and turned into terrifying magma again, flowing everywhere.
The terrifying flame energy of the giant dragon completely burned the entire sea of magma once again.
It dives, dives, dives fearlessly, seeking the source of hell here, that crystal of hell.
The whole process was like eighteen levels of hell.
While the Great Flame Dragon dived, its entire body was wiped out inch by inch.
Everything is still so similar, so similar to Jiang's giant dragon.
The sea of magma here is so deep, exceeding tens of thousands of meters, or even hundreds of thousands of meters.
The Great Flame Dragon marched forward bravely and continued to go deep into hell. Its entire body was attacked by hell energy, first solidified into ice, and then dissipated inch by inch.
finally…
The Great Flame Dragon dived into the deepest part of the magma sea.
Its body completely dissipated, leaving only a dragon soul.
After a while, the scorching hot magma sea cooled down again, and soon solidified again.
at last…
The air here once again condensed into snow, and the temperature here dropped to minus two hundred degrees Celsius again.
The Great Flame Dragon disappeared, and everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
Emperor Dayan was still sitting cross-legged on the solidified magma sea, while Gui Wu's body opposite him had disappeared and vanished into ashes.
…
In the city of Bingzhou.
Shen Lang was still burying his head in writing, when suddenly he raised his head, and the giant Jiang family dragon lying on the clouds also raised his head.
It seems to have sensed something, sensed something in the far west.
After thinking for a while, Shen Lang smiled slightly, then continued to hang his head, and continued to write, writing out all the things in his mind about the Doomsday plan.
And Jiang's giant dragon lay on the clouds again, closed its eyes and rested, drifting with the wind.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Tianyahai Pavilion, Zuo Ci begs to see you." The voice of the great eunuch Li En came from outside.
Zuo Ci actually came? He's finally here
…
"Zuo Ci, a person from outside the country, pays homage to His Majesty." Zuo Ci bowed and saluted with unprecedented respect.
Shen Lang said: "Pavilion Master Zuoci, long time no see."
It's been a long time, almost two or three years. When we met, it was after the duel with Ying Wuming.
Zuo Ci said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, His Majesty has changed so much, I feel a lot of emotion."
Shen Lang said: "How is Pavilion Master Zuo Ci in the Great Desert?"
The Zuo Ci pavilion master said: "Very good, very good, even better than imagined."
It can be seen that Tianya Haige's harvest in the Great Desert is very, very huge.
Shen Lang said: "On the Jin battlefield, I haven't thanked Tianya Haige for your help."
Pavilion Master Zuo Ci bowed and said, "It's nothing to do with a little effort."
Shen Lang said: "Pavilion Master Zuoci and Gang Yi are friends?"
"No." The Zuo Ci Pavilion master said: "I have always kept a respectful distance from Gang Yi. Not long ago, Gang Yi found me and said something, so I chose my position in Tianya Haige. Of course, even without us With the help of the King of Chu, the King of Chu can also win in the battlefield of the Jin Kingdom, the reason why I made a move in Tianya Haige is mainly to show my heart."
Shen Lang said: "In other words, between the Great Yan Empire and the Dagan Empire, you have already chosen to stand on the side of the Dagan Empire and the Jiang Family?"
"No!" Zuoci Pavilion Master said: "I choose to stand... on your side, I choose His Majesty Shen Lang, not Dagan, nor Jiang."
This attitude... is bizarre.
In Shen Lang's eyes, Zuo Ci is a completely invisible person, and there is no need for him to stand in line.
Even if Shen Lang defeats Emperor Dayan and becomes the Lord of the Eastern World, he will not offend Tianya Haige, let alone compete for the ruins of the Great Desert. He does not have such great ambitions.
When Emperor Dayan was so powerful a few years ago, Zuo Ci didn't stand in line. Thirty years ago, when Jiang Li and Emperor Dayan competed for the world, Zuo Ci did not take sides.
But this time he was actually going to stand in line, and on Shen Lang's side.
"Why?" Shen Lang asked.
Pavilion Master Zuoci was silent for a long time, and said: "Because you are very pure, you have no ambition, you don't care about power, you don't care about dominance, and you follow your inner will in everything."
Shen Lang said: "Pavilion Master Zuo Ci, your words are too mysterious and mysterious, and they are in the clouds."
The Zuoci Pavilion master said: "My lord, but do you understand? Of course you can understand, but the person I said may not fully understand. After all, the situation in front of me is like..."
"Beautiful scenery." Shen Lang said.
The Zuo Ci Pavilion Master said: "Yes, it is like a beautiful scenery. The great victory is just waiting for you to pick it."
Shen Lang said: "Will Pavilion Master Zuoci accompany me into Yanjing to witness the decisive battle between me and Emperor Dayan?"
"Probably not." Zuo Ci Pavilion Master said: "I need to return to the Great Desert and prepare everything. So I have a little request for you."
Shen Lang said: "Please tell me."
The Zuo Ci Pavilion Master said: "When it is convenient for you, or when it is not convenient, please make sure to go to the Great Desert of Thousand Miles. We will wait for your visit there."
"Us?" Shen Lang asked suspiciously.
Pavilion Master Zuoci said: "Yes, all of us, the entire vast desert, are waiting for His Majesty's visit."
Shen Lang looked at Zuo Ci and said slowly: "I will."
Pavilion Master Zuoci said: "Thank you Your Majesty, then I will take my leave."
Shen Lang said: "By the way, Pavilion Master Zuoci is here, won't Gang Yi come?"
Zuoci Pavilion Master said: "Presumably Gang Yi will come to meet you before or after the decisive battle between you and the Emperor of the Yan Empire. Of course, you should not be eager to get more information from him, because we are all the same. The sky you look up at is still the sky of this world, and you can’t see further.”
Shen Lang said: "Then, goodbye!"
The Zuo Ci Pavilion Master said: "Goodbye, my Majesty."
Then Zuo Ci rode on a special flying beast, which he had never seen before, soared into the sky, left Bingzhou, and flew towards the direction of the great desert thousands of miles to the west.
Everyone is here.
The next day, Shen Lang gave an order: "The army sets out to attack Yanjing in the north!"
Immediately, the crowd cheered.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
"Long live, long live, long live!"
Shen Lang rode the Jiang family dragon and flew towards Yanjing slowly in the air.
On the ground, King Chu's hundreds of thousands of West Route Army, Wu King's hundreds of thousands of East Route Army, Jinjun's Middle Route Army, and Ning Qi's South Vietnam Army led by Ning Qi, a total of four armies, more than one million, mighty Swinging, heading towards Yanjing.
Northern Expedition Yanjing!
The ultimate decisive battle in the Eastern World!
