Boom!
Earth and rocks splashed, and the ground shook.
Just one impact caused a shock that could be felt throughout the city. Countless cracks burst out from the four walls of the sacrificial hall at the same time. Then the walls collapsed, scattering countless fragments.
The shock wave was centered on the sacrificial hall, and spread throughout the entire fortress in an instant. Most of the buildings in the inner city were shaken out of cracks, while in the outer city, the damage was lighter closer to the city gate, and vice versa. .
Queen Twilight's body shook, but she did not fall under such a strong shock. Stars appeared in her body, which offset the impact just now.
However, a large area of the guard fell, and only the general and a few officers remained standing.
At this time, an inhuman roar sounded from the dust and smoke that filled the sacrificial hall. Suddenly, the air flow violently boiled and swept around. Under the strong wind, the dust and smoke were pushed away from all sides, allowing Queen Twilight to see a huge area in the center of the square. The black shadow flashed out and shot into the air.
She raised her head and saw a jellyfish-like thing slowly squirming under the huge full moon, emitting a deep, dark light.
The tentacles of flesh and blood that were originally protruding from the ground are now hanging upside down and twisting.
On those tentacles, there is a group of translucent membranes that are constantly shrinking and expanding. They take on the shape of umbrellas, and the blackness is emitted by the layers of squirming. The blackness dyes the night sky and spreads into the void, giving the places they touch an inexplicable feeling. The sense of alienation seems to be separated from reality and presents an illusion.
Just inside the umbrella-like membrane, a woman's figure was vaguely visible. The woman hugged him, curled up her legs, and seemed to be sleeping.
That weird thing just gradually floated into the night sky and gradually disappeared.
Queen Twilight did not fall to the ground because of the earthquake just now, but she was shaken by the distance of the thing in the air. In the end, the chamberlain next to her got up from the ground and supported her in time.
Looking at the jellyfish-like thing in the sky, Queen Twilight murmured: "Lord Midnight, why did you leave us, why did you abandon us?"
I'm afraid she won't be able to find the answer to this question in her lifetime.
... ... ...
In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly.
Several magnetic energy vehicles were driving on the wilderness road in the Eastern Continent. In one of the vehicles, Tianyang glanced out the window.
Unlike the Central Continent where the war was going on, this continent seemed extraordinarily peaceful. No gods, let alone mobs, had been seen in the wilderness in the past few days.
It has been almost a month since I left the Emerald Castle, and according to the coordinates given by Yinmeng, I can reach the Cardinal Court of War Church in the East Continent in three to five days.
The Cardinal Academy in the Eastern Continent is not located in any fortress, but in a small town. I heard that this small town has hundreds of families, and these people are serving the Cardinal Academy.
This made Tianyang look forward to it and wanted to see it.
The evening came soon, and under the command of Redding, the convoy found a piece of high ground as a place to rest at night. A small camp was soon established, which made Tianyang couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of being a superior.
After dinner, Tianyang returned to his tent and saw Xun and Qianhong talking about something. Seeing him come in, the two women turned back, and then Xun stood up with a smile.
"Qian Hong wants to talk to you alone about something."
After saying that, she opened the curtain and left, leaving Tianyang and Qianhong alone.
Tianyang asked curiously: "Is something wrong?"
Qian Hong nodded: "You... do you want to become stronger?"
Tianyang was stunned for a moment and couldn't figure out why Qian Hong would talk about this topic. He smiled and said: "Of course, no one will refuse to be powerful, but why do you ask this question?"
Qian Hong put her hands behind her back, her eyes a little wandering, and hesitantly said: "I know there is a way to make you stronger. Do you mind if I guide you?"
"Guide?" Tianyang felt like a student facing a lecturer, and smiled, "Of course I won't mind. Teacher Qianhong, what is your method?"
"Special physique."
Qian Hong finally focused her attention on Tianyang: "Our special physique is only activated when needed, which will bring us different levels of improvement."
"But as the ranks rise, the improvement that special physiques can bring has become less and less. Especially after the heaven level, its effect is no longer as obvious as before. I wonder if you have noticed this problem."
After Qian Hong said this, Tianyang thought carefully and nodded: "It seems like this. Taking me as an example, even if I don't open the alien body, my speed can basically reach the level of a mid-level alien."
"And even after turning on the alien body, the speed has not increased much. Even the improvement brought by the 'super acceleration' mode is only about half of the previous efficiency."
Qianhong asked like a true teacher: "Do you know why this is?"
Tianyang asked like a studious student: "Why?"
"It's limitations, physical limitations."
Qian Hong's head tilted upward slightly, and she said stiffly like an endorsement: "Although promotion can bring physical sublimation, this part of the sublimation, the extent of its improvement, is completely different from the improvement we have obtained in terms of ability. Disproportionate.”
"In other words, when our abilities are improving by leaps and bounds, our physical strength has not changed significantly from when we were at middle or lower ranks."
"The alien body can allow us to improve or even change the body's functions in a short period of time, and even give us some extraordinary abilities. But in the final analysis, no matter how the changes brought about by the alien body, there is a premise that it cannot exceed our body The limit of endurance.”
"Just like you can't install the latest generation power engine on an old model machine that has been eliminated, otherwise, the excess power will make the machine fall apart."
Tianyang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "So? Is there any way to improve our body functions so that the alien body can release greater energy?"
"No." Qian Hong shook her head, "Currently, the only way to increase physical strength is through sublimation nodes or promotions. Other than that, there is no other way for the time being."
"but... "
"Although there is no good way to improve the strength of the body, it can allow our body to adapt to the foreign body, and through this method, the foreign body can be further sublimated and transformed to tap its full potential and reach its best state. "
"The solution is to make the alien body permanent!"
"Alien resident?" Tianyang Yin had a guess, but
Still said, "Go on."
Qian Hong nodded imperceptibly and said: "To put it simply, we consciously open the alien body even when there is no fight, so that our bodies can adapt to it."
"And in this way, the entire state of the alien body can be discovered and brought to a whole new level."
"If the path to sublimation has an ultimate form, then so does the alien body. When its potential is fully tapped and transformed into the final form, they will be called 'battle bodies' at that time, and the church will be called 'war bodies'." "Holy body' to call."
"However, to practice the alien body resident, you need to be at least level 6. At this time, the sublimated person, even if the body has not been strengthened by the sublimation node, has enough strength to adapt to the long-term open alien body, and will not cause the body to do so. collapse."
Tianyang's eyes widened: "Can our special physique still be used like this? Can it be open for a long time at other times when we are not fighting?"
"Okay, this kind of practice is divided into several stages."
Qian Hong said seriously: "At the beginning, we need to consciously keep the alien body open for an hour. After we have completely mastered this state, we can try to keep it open for a morning or a day..."
"When you can maintain the alien state even while sleeping, then the potential of the alien body has been tapped and it has been sublimated into a fighting body. At that time, our special physique will enter a whole new realm, and when we use it At that time, because the body has become accustomed to the long-term opening of the foreign body, it is strong enough not to collapse. "
The sky suddenly opened up, and he felt as if he had glimpsed a whole new world. He couldn't help but look at Qianhong: "How do you know this?"
Qian Hong's eyes became a little wandering again, and she said with a guilty conscience: "Adi taught me this. Well, she told me this before she left me. I only remembered it recently."
Tianyang originally doubted whether Qianhong's so-called adoptive mother Adi was the same person as the Ultimate Adi. Now there is no doubt. If it wasn't the Ultimate Adi, how could he know about the 'resident alien body'? matter.
Tianyang believes that whether this information is in the four major churches or in those super fortresses, it should be regarded as confidential information and will not be leaked easily.
"So, what should we do specifically?" Tianyang asked humbly asking for advice.
... ... ..
At noon on the fourth day, Tianyang saw the small church town where the Donglu Cardinal Academy is located. The town had built a low wall. The gate was tall and thick but open. There were no weapons on the wall behind the door. It was very strange. The land is quiet and peaceful.
But think about it, this is the Eastern Continent Cardinal Academy of the Church of War. Not to mention the Holy Silver Knight sitting in the Cardinal Academy, there is also a bishop who is also a heaven-level powerhouse and can completely protect a small town.
When the motorcade entered the town and drove on the streets leading to the Cardinal Court, the residents of the town came and went. Although they cast curious glances, they all took a quick glance and continued to do their own things.
The convoy from the Western Continent finally drove out of the town and followed a mountain road uphill. On a not very high hill, a war church was built. The houses where priests and other personnel lived were scattered scattered. There were not many houses. Beyond the tall, gorgeous buildings, there is an ordinary but peaceful atmosphere everywhere.
This is far from what Tianyang imagined.
