Chapter 573: Advanced Magic Energy Technology

A dark shadow rift appeared out of thin air within the palace deep in the Flame Canyon, and two figures were flung out from the rift, falling heavily to the ground.

Although Phoenix and Salonas had been teleported in time, they had still suffered attacks.

"Pah!"

The Flame King spat out a mouthful of blood; bearing the brunt of the attacks from Luoning and the others had left him in a sorry state.

"This Luoning is absurdly powerful; I even feel he is stronger than that old immortal guarding the Moshen Dao!"

The Moshen Dao, which is the place where the Nightmare Evil King is sealed, is a small island located on the sea one hundred miles northwest of the City of Dawn.

The human race does not call it the Moshen Dao, but rather the "Fangzhu Zhi Di," meaning the place where the Demon God was banished; the tragic battle from a thousand years ago took place in this very location.

Salonas stood up; the black hood that usually covered his head had been torn, revealing a bald head as pale as his face.

He also had lingering fears: "He is indeed very strong. With him here, our situation is not looking good."

After the war a thousand years ago ended, both the human race and the demon race were severely crippled, and even after all these years, they have still not recovered to their initial glorious level.

The Sages and Great Sages on both sides combined do not even number ten; the appearance of Luoning has completely broken the balance.

"If Luoning were only a Sage, perhaps we would still have a way. But he has displayed the strength of a Great Sage, and there is another Sage by his side!"

Salonas said gloomily: "I think the human race will likely start to take the initiative and launch attacks on the areas we occupy. I suggest we abandon Katage Zhen and withdraw everyone back to the Flame Canyon."

Phoenix snorted, his expression very displeased.

The most fertile land with the best environment on the Xinyue Continent is the ChenxiLindi where the City of Dawn is located. They had gone to great lengths to get three pieces into their hands, but now they had lost two and were about to voluntarily give up another.

In all the years of fighting, this was the first time he had encountered such a choice.

"Retreating will only lead to a slow death. We do not have that much time to wait for you or Ceres to become true Great Sages, nor is it possible to cultivate more Sages within a few years!"

Although for Salonas and Ceres, the former can use secret arts to possess strength comparable to a Great Sage, and the latter is a peak Sage who also possesses Great Sage strength by relying on the power of talent, they are, after all, not immortal beings.

Phoenix's fiery red eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Notify Ceres; we are going to concentrate our forces for a decisive battle!"

Salonas felt a chill in his heart, feeling slightly uneasy, "Do we really have to have a decisive battle? Although we might not be able to advance if we drag it out for a few years, the Demon God might break the seal and descend again, and at that time, we will reverse the situation."

"Can't wait!"

Phoenix shook his head and said: "This Luoning is growing too fast, and who knows what tricks are hidden on him. The longer the time drags on, the more favorable it might be for him!"

Hum~

As the two were arguing, the air vibrated. They saw the space in front of them begin to twist, and then the Nightmare Evil Power began to condense, slowly revealing a giant black face.

"Demon God!"

"Welcome, Demon God!"

The two knelt on one knee cleanly and neatly, offering their excited and sincere greetings.

They did not expect that their King was already able to let his power overflow the seal and reach this place.

"I felt the will of this world from that person; that Luoning is someone blessed by the will of the world."

The giant face's mouth opened and closed, speaking in a voice that was obscure yet understandable to them.

"Phoenix is right. Facing such an enemy, waiting will only become increasingly unfavorable for you! Only a decisive battle can create a favorable opportunity!"

Phoenix and Salonas looked at each other, then both bowed their heads in agreement.

"Choose the Moshen Dao as the battlefield. Even if you die in battle, your heroic souls will be under my protection; rebirth is merely a matter of time."

"I will strictly follow your orders, Demon God!" Phoenix said in a deep voice.

The giant face slowly dissipated, simultaneously shooting two pitch-black rays of light onto the two of them, "Go, gather your strength, and give it your all!"

After a while, once the surrounding energy fluctuations disappeared, the two stood up.

The aura on their bodies seemed to have been strengthened a bit at this moment.

"I need to digest this 'Nightmare Evil Essence' bestowed by the Demon God."

Salonas said: "During this period, the Witch Soul Knight Order will be left for you to mobilize."

Phoenix gave a hum, "The Demon God should have gone to find Ceres as well. I wonder if he can break through after receiving the Nightmare Evil Essence?"

Beifeng Plain, which once possessed the largest seaport on the Xinyue Continent connecting to the Star Continent, was now occupied by the Storm Lord Ceres.

Just a moment ago, the will of the Demon God descended and bestowed upon him new power.

"With this power, I can step into the realm of immortality!"

Ceres, whose skin was like withered wood, clenched his fists, "Victory will eventually belong to us!"

While the three great demon lords were actively preparing for the decisive battle, Luoning arrived at the City of Dawn at the invitation of Ryan.

Under the guidance of Suofeiya, he took a tour.

The City of Dawn was worthy of being a city with supreme Magic Energy technology; here, Luoning discovered quite a few novel things.

For example, Mone Che, Mone Feiting, Mone Qiang, etc. In terms of concept, they already had technological products here, only the energy used was different—it was magic elements, it was Magic Energy.

Luoning also learned from Suofeiya that the City of Dawn possessed a terrifying weapon called "Jiemie Hongguang." It is said that once it hits, even a Sage can hardly resist its attack easily.

If it were to attack a city, it could destroy cities of the level of Dragon City or Jinyu City in an instant.

Luoning guessed that this Jiemie Hongguang should have the power of a full-force strike from a top-tier Sage.

However, the consumption of such a thing must be huge; otherwise, they would not have maintained a delicate situation with the demon race for so many years.

Having said that, such a weapon is still worth studying.

After touring the core palace filled with Magic Power twice, Luoning ducked into the library and read quite a few history books, gaining a better understanding of the past of this world.

He prepared to let Landeer and the others come over for advanced studies once the two continents achieved free exchange in the future, to bring back the once-glorious history, let the people of the Star Continent know where they originated, and let them know how many moving and tragic martyrs there were in history.

"Luoning."

Ryan's figure appeared in the library, "I didn't expect you to be so interested in these ordinary books."

Luoning closed the book in his hand and said with a smile: "After all, there is a historical gap in the Star Continent. Although I have heard quite a bit from Suofeiya, it is far from as detailed as what is recorded here."

He put the book back on the shelf, "Speaking of which, I also want to discuss the issue of space Magic with you."

"We can discuss it anytime," Ryan agreed immediately.

He held Luoning in high regard, especially after hearing Suofeiya mention in private that Luoning was currently only about forty years old.

A Sage Tier at forty years old—such an existence was too terrifying.

Facing such an outstanding reinforcement, and in order to end the threat of the Demon Race as soon as possible, Ryan did not wish to be stingy or hide any research or secret techniques that could help improve strength from Luoning.

"But before that, I would like to invite you to attend the Human Alliance Supreme Council."

Ryan said: "Additionally, Lord Puruis also has the latest intelligence to inform us of."

As the two spoke, they flew toward the central hub of the City of Dawn, which was a Mone Dao floating in the air.

Luoning sensed it; the entire floating island seemed to be driven by Magic Power, with array diagrams of almost all attributes—earth, wind, fire, and others—imprinted upon it.

When he landed on the floating island, he noticed that the elements here were exceptionally dense.

And when he saw many young figures on the floating island practicing Battle Qi or Magic, and elemental creatures condensed for sparring, he knew this must be where the City of Dawn cultivated excellent Transcendental.

Compared to this floating island, Luoning's Wubei Chaofan Xueyuan, and even the former Royal Magic Academy of the Auduin Kingdom and the Tricia Kingdom, were not even worth mentioning.

The conditions here were too superior; it was no wonder that many young people in the City of Dawn had a higher overall strength than those on the Star Continent.

The two flew into the magnificent building in the center of the floating island.

This hall was very empty, and there was no one else inside.

However, as the two entered, Luoning discovered that lights lit up on the platforms displayed on both sides, and then, after a flash and distortion of light, illusory human figures appeared on the platforms.

"This is?"

Luoning raised an eyebrow, unable to help but think of 3D projections.

Ryan explained with a smile: "This is the 'Mone Yingxiang' I created; it allows people scattered in different places to hold meetings as if they were all gathered together."

As he spoke, he handed a vermilion ring to Luoning, "This is the ring that connects to the Mone Yingxiang; even if you are not in the City of Dawn in the future, you can still participate in our meetings."

Luoning could not help but observe it, exclaiming: "The Xinyue Continent's utilization of Magic is far, far higher than that of the Star Continent!"

He looked at Ryan: "If possible, I would like to arrange for people to come here to learn in the future."

"Haha, these are all small matters."

Ryan took Luoning to sit on two platforms, and at this moment, lights lit up on the other platforms one after another.

Two, three, four...

A total of nine figures appeared.

These nine people were the leaders of the human race on the Xinyue Continent, and each one possessed at least Sage Tier strength.

"Everyone has arrived!"

The one speaking was an old man several decades older than Ryan; the wrinkles on his arms and face were as creased as the bark of a century-old tree.

"This must be the reinforcement from the Xinyue Continent, right?"

Luoning nodded, "Nice to meet you all, Ronin Wushan greets everyone."

For a time, many people began to offer greetings; it was clear that the atmosphere among the human leadership was quite good.

After some exchange, Luoning also roughly understood the strength situation of the people here.

First, the strongest was this old man named Puruis; he possessed Sage Tier strength and was said to be someone who had experienced the war a thousand years ago and luckily survived.

The second strongest was Ryan, who was on the verge of breaking through.

There were two others similar to him, and apart from that, the remaining seven were basically at the mid-Sage level or below.

"Alright, we can chat about idle matters later."

Puruis ended the group's exchange, and he said in a deep voice: "Just a short while ago, I sensed that the King of Nightmare Evil was able to leak its energy out of the seal, and after investigating, I found traces in the Flame Canyon and the Beifeng Plain."

Upon learning this news, everyone was shocked.

"Is the Demon God about to break the seal?" someone asked in disbelief.

"That's impossible, right? This seal was concluded by exhausting the lives of our predecessors; how could it be broken so easily?"

"Don't forget, when the King of Nightmare Evil descended upon our world, it relied on radiating Soul Power outward to pollute more and more people and Magic Beast, creating so many lackeys without anyone noticing. Now that it can radiate power outward, this means it is possible for it to cultivate believers again!"

"No matter what the situation actually is, this is a bad phenomenon for us."

Ryan said, looking at the old man, "Lord Puruis, what do you plan to do?"

"You are right; these years I have increasingly felt the instability of the seal, and if we drag this out, we may fall into a passive state."

Puruis turned his gaze to Luoning: "Now that we have a powerful Sage Tier reinforcement like Luoning, and the assistance of Ruidar, Aierlong, and the Legendary dragon, it is time to take the initiative!"

He said: "We need to eliminate Phoenix, Salonas, and this group of damned Demon God lackeys, strictly prevent any humans from being polluted by it, and at the same time, find a way to kill it completely!"

As long as this kind of bizarre thing is not dead, it will always be a scourge. (End of this chapter)
