After staying in the Icefield Town for an hour, the three students from Vidor learned some information about the 'Atrium World'.
not much.
Due to limited manpower and strength, the icefield town is mainly hidden. It is located at the edge of the world and there are few traces of intelligent life.
"The world of Atrium is a world where multiple races coexist. There are also humans, but not many in number."
Ji Kaipeng looked at his hand and saw only a few pages of information.
"The ruler of the Atrium World is the Black Horn Clan, one of the branches of the Horn Clan..."
During their days in Void City, in addition to practicing, the students also began to come into contact with some 'cosmic common sense'.
The three Victors know something about the Horn Clan.
This is a race whose beauty is horns. It is also spread all over the universe. In terms of number, it is second only to the four powerful races in the past such as the human race and the spirit race.
But the quality is much worse, and the Horn Clan has not even given birth to a force at the level of a universe hegemon.
"Even so, the Black Horn Clan is the absolute overlord of the Midgard World and should not be underestimated."
"Yes, and the Atrium world is an advanced world. There is a 99.9% chance that there will be domain-level experts, or even peak experts. We are no match for them."
"Wait a minute, we are just investigating the legend of the 'God Crossing Tree', why do we have to conflict with the Black Horn Clan?"
"Hey, what you said makes sense, why didn't I think of it?"
There is a human race in the Atrium World, so the three of them don't need to make too many disguises. They just put on the common clothes in that world and left the ice field and headed to the core area of the Atrium World.
…
The world of mountains and seas,
Ever since the Dao Sect showed its absolute power and destroyed the hostile top forces such as the ‘Dark City’ in one fell swoop, the entire continent, as well as the endless sea outside the continent, basically respected the Dao Sect and the human race.
At least on the surface.
Nowadays, even if they are just ordinary people, their status as a human race can allow them to get preferential treatment in many alien cities.
Several years have passed since that battle, and most ordinary people and ordinary awakened people have forgotten the power of the Dao Sect that enveloped half of the continent that day.
But for the top leaders of various forces, they cannot forget it.
Therefore, although the major forces made some small moves in private, they did not dare to exceed the limits. The world of mountains and seas also entered a rare peace, and cities were gradually built in some areas where the terrain of mountains and rivers was changed due to battles.
Southeast of the mainland, adjacent to the Tianqian Mountains.
There is a small country, Nanze Country.
This place is far away from the core of the mainland and is much more remote than the Dachang Dynasty where Tang Yu once stayed for a period of time.
The source gas concentration is thin, and there are only a few low-grade source crystal mines in the surrounding area.
The development of the entire Nanze Kingdom was lagging behind. Whether it was rune technology or the number of powerful people, it was far inferior to the Dachang Dynasty. But also because it is located in a corner, there are no intelligent racial tribes around Nanze Kingdom. Except for the occasional not-so-strong alien beasts that occasionally break out from the Tianqian Mountains in the south and the branches of certain branches, there is no threat.
Over the past few hundred years, Nanze Country has lived and worked in peace and contentment, its population has doubled several times, and its size has also expanded a lot... but it is still an ordinary small country.
Awakening to a high level is a master who walks with the wind.
Yuanshui Town is a characteristic town located in the south of Nanze Kingdom. Because it is close to the branches of the Tianqian Mountains and has official roads leading directly to several surrounding cities, Yuanshui Town has always been prosperous and martial arts are respected.
Warriors dressed in fancy outfits and wearing swords can be seen everywhere.
From time to time, you can see masters flying over the walls and flying over the walls, and a few of them disappear in a vertical leap.
"Is that a master of the body shaping realm?"
"Hey, what does the Body Shaping Realm mean? Haven't you heard that a young man from the Condensing Source Realm recently appeared in our Yuanshui Town?"
"Ah? There is such a genius!"
The storyteller in the tavern spat out some stories, and when he talked about the young genius, some people exclaimed, but many warriors from the surrounding cities showed disdain.
is it possible
A mere teenager who has cultivated to a high level of awakening
Even in the big city, the children of big families can’t do it!
He is already a first-class master in the world, and every Condensing Source Realm master is famous.
A young boy? If you can awaken to the fifth level and reach the level of a third-rate master, you are already a genius among the younger generation.
The knowledgeable warriors were disdainful, but did not refute. They did not need to be serious with some ordinary people.
After all, what do ordinary people know
At this moment, behind the tavern, there is a spacious independent courtyard.
The young man sat cross-legged on a straw mat and practiced.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, like a lion awakening, but his intimidating momentum was instantly restrained. Except for his slightly mature face, he was no different from other teenagers.
"Cultivation after reaching the Condensing Source Realm is too slow."
The young man Su Bing frowned, "At the current speed, it will take at least a year for me to break through to the eleventh level of awakening. It may take five, six, or even seven or eight years before I can reach the great perfection of the awakening level. Can I hit the legendary level?" The Tao Void Realm is even more unknown... How could it be so slow?"
Su Bing's parents are both powerful awakeners, and they are at the second-rate level according to the Jianghu classification.
But when he was still young, his parents died in an accident, leaving behind Su Bing, who was still young and had not yet awakened.
later,
In order to survive and to find out the cause of his parents' death, Su Bing became a professional hunter, specializing in hunting exotic beasts near the mountains, or ordinary animals with a little bit of alien blood, and selling them to local restaurants.
Once, I was unlucky. I was chased by a strange beast and fell into the cliff. I unexpectedly found a rotting corpse on the fingers of the corpse...
Su Bing lowered his gaze and touched the inconspicuous silver ring on his finger.
‘Unexpectedly, space rings actually exist in the world. ’
This space ring is very small, less than one cubic meter, but it still contains a few books, some herbs, and some minerals.
One of them is a cultivation method called "The True Secret of Great Sun Cultivation (Part 1)".
Su Bing knew that he could become a genius in the eyes of outsiders, but... he had practiced a more advanced cultivation method.
"According to the records of cultivation experience, after breaking through to the Condensing Source Realm, one can more clearly perceive the origin of heaven and earth. The cultivation speed should not be much slower, but..."
Su Bing closed his eyes again, sensing that there were only scattered source energy light particles between the sky and the earth.
It's obviously wrong.
"Sure enough, my own talent is too poor..."
"It is also recorded in the experience that many geniuses only take a few years to practice to the Great Perfection, but they are stuck at the bottleneck and cannot break through until they grow old and die... If it were me, it would be even harder to break through to Taoxu."
"However, Nanze Country is not the center of the world, but rather a borderland. If I can go to the center of the world, the Daodao City that all the dead seniors longed for, there will be hope for me to break through Taxu."
"Even if it's just to a second-class city."
"But how to leave Nanze Country and where to go..."
Su Bing had no idea.
He is now at a high level of awakening, and his information is not much less than that of the warrior family, but as far as he knows, except for the Tianqian Mountains in the south, which become increasingly dangerous as they go deeper, there is endless desolate land in other directions.
"Does it mean that if you go south, you have to cross the Tianqian Mountains to find other countries?"
Su Bing thinks this is what is written in novels.
"But with my strength, it's almost impossible to cross the Tianqi Mountains. It's not time to fight hard yet."
he thought.
suddenly,
The ground shook slightly, not much, but he was keenly aware of it.
"An earthquake? No, wait, there seems to be a bit of chaos outside?"
Su Bing stood up suddenly, with a bad premonition in his heart.
Without hesitation, he picked up the sword at hand, opened the door and ran up to the roof in a few steps.
Looking up, in the distance of the town, the sky is filled with red mist, full of ominousness.
The feeling of depression was even worse.
After hesitating for a while, Su Bing jumped between the rooftops, and soon arrived at the edge of Yuanshui Town.
Yuanshui Town has the word "water" because there is a lake near the town called Yuanshui Lake, which provides the town with a lot of fresh fish.
But at this time, the surface of Yuanshui Lake, which was originally a vast expanse of blue waves, suddenly sunk downwards, as if there was a hole in the center of the lake. The lake water poured down like a waterfall, and the surface of Yuanshui Lake was visibly lowering.
"What happened? Subsidence?"
There are already warriors walking quickly, approaching Yuanshui Lake.
There was also a warrior who was originally on the edge of Yuanshui Lake, carefully dripping water, and seemed to be heading towards the center of the lake.
Su Bing's ears moved slightly and he heard many experienced martial artists talking in low voices.
They thought it might be some kind of relic.
It is said that the royal family of Nanze Kingdom was able to build Nanze Kingdom after they excavated a certain ruins.
The warriors became even more crazy.
Su Bing did not approach. He looked at the red mist over Yuanshui Lake. At this time, the mist gradually became thicker, and the ominous omen in his heart became more and more serious.
Yuanshui Lake gradually dried up, leaving only some small puddles and water stains. In the center of the lake, a huge gap was visible to the naked eye, like an abyss.
Some warriors have already approached the gap.
suddenly,
A gray shadow jumped out from the huge gap, and rushed towards the nearest warrior one after another.
Su Bing saw a warrior immediately slashing away with his sword, but saw a flash of gray shadow, and the warrior flew away upside down. There was blood dripping on his chest, his breath was weak, and it was already difficult to survive.
"Is it a strange beast?"
Many warriors couldn't see the gray shadow clearly, but Su Bing could see it clearly.
It was a giant gray wolf with rotten fur, about two to three meters tall, with scarlet pupils, extremely ferocious.
The warriors near Yuanshui Lake were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, but these giant rot wolves were faster and stronger, and killed many warriors in the blink of an eye.
Even the so-called third-rate warriors in the world have almost no power to resist when faced with the giant rot wolf.
"Every wolf has at least the sixth level of awakening strength. Even if I face more than five, there will be a certain danger."
Su Bing did not hesitate, turned around and retreated.
When Ben Xi left, he caught a glimpse of more and more monsters pouring out of the gap in the abyss from the corner of his eye.
A red creature with six legs, a big gray bird with four wings on its back...
Without exception, they all have ferocious looks, scarlet pupils, and... strong strength.
What kind of monster is it? !
Yuanshui Town was already in turmoil at this time. Su Bing had no relatives or friends in the town. He just informed the tavern owner and fled north.
This escape lasted a day and a night.
Su Bing was tired, and after killing a flying monster with a knife, he ran to the top of the tree and looked out. A huge city with tall walls had appeared in his field of vision.
Nanze capital city.
The capital was now under martial law, and soldiers with solemn faces could be seen everywhere on the city walls.
There are also many refugees who have fled and are stopped outside the capital.
Su Bing was a warrior, and he released a strong aura, and was quickly allowed to enter the city.
He found out some information, and his expression became more solemn.
"The southern part of Nanze Kingdom has actually been completely occupied."
"Those monsters are bloodthirsty, violent, and kill everyone they see. It is said that it is difficult to see living people in the south. In the southernmost cities, there are almost no survivors!"
Su Bing does not think the news is exaggerated.
He came from the far south and ran all the way. Even so, he encountered a flying monster. Other awakened ones who were not as strong as him had a very small chance of escaping.
soon,
As a warrior, Su Bing was recruited and joined the city defenders.
In less than half a day, an overwhelming wave of monsters hit the capital.
There are countless ones flying in the sky and running on the ground.
Nanze Country does have some heritage.
At the critical moment of the country's survival, two gray-haired old men stepped forward in the capital.
The city defense formation is also in operation.
Hundreds of thousands of warriors guarding the city guarded the wall.
But after only keeping watch for a few bells, the city was broken.
Su Bing saw a monster over a hundred meters tall trampling the city wall.
He even saw the two protectors of the country stepping on the void and falling from the sky.
He fled further north with the fierce flow of people.
At the beginning, the capital was not surrounded by the tide of monsters, and many figures of warriors jumped and fled towards the north.
But gradually, fewer and fewer people can keep up with his speed.
Some lack strength and gradually fall behind.
Some were killed by the monsters that caught up.
Su Bing fled to the northernmost tip of Nanze Kingdom, and then continued to flee into the wilderness. Even if there was a majestic fortress in the north, many refugees did not think it could stop the terrifying tide of monsters.
"Hoo~ho!"
On the barren land, Su Bing was breathing heavily.
Mentally tense, on the verge of collapse.
His physical strength was almost at its limit, and he could only rely on his willpower to run away like a machine.
The source power was exhausted three times. If it weren't for the source power potion left by the senior in the storage ring, he would have been buried in the beast's mouth.
After escaping until now, Su Bing is alone.
He didn't know how far he had escaped, how many days he had escaped, and where he could go.
Only the instinct of survival drove him to keep running away.
Those monsters seemed to be able to track his aura and would catch up with him every once in a while.
Several flying monsters appeared in the sky, and Su Bing looked desperate.
He no longer had the strength to swing the sword.
After escaping for so long, he still couldn't see the world outside Nanze, and the last trace of his thoughts that supported him was gradually fading away.
Several flying monsters pounced down.
Su Bing tremblingly raised the machete that had opened several gaps, preparing to make a last ditch effort.
suddenly,
There was a sound coming from the air.
"Hey, there's actually someone in this crappy place? Wait... isn't that a demonized beast?!"
The voice in the sky seemed to be shouting some kind of foul language.
next moment,
Along with the harsh sound, those flying monsters, which were not weak at all, were cut into pieces in the air and scattered.
