Chapter 899
After Li Hao and Shi Miao arrived at Longmen City, their days were as usual, each cultivating.
Occasionally, Shi Miao would come to the first floor to visit Li Hao. When she saw Li Hao immersed in cultivation, she would sit quietly by his side for a while and then leave without disturbing him.
Time passed, but the atmosphere in the city was not as peaceful as elsewhere. Dark clouds loomed, and it was filled with a murderous aura all year round, with a fishy smell permeating the air.
In the blink of an eye, seven years passed.
In the mountain spring on the peak, a zither condensed from spring water appeared before Li Hao. He plucked the zither gently, and the music reverberated, stirring up thousands of threads. These threads were the circulation of many Laws. Every sound wave contained the power of many Laws and possessed extremely strong lethality.
"Still a little bit off..."
Li Hao could feel that he was still one step away from touching the bottleneck of the thirteenth stage.
Dong! Dong!
Suddenly, the mountain shook, and a dragon roar came from high in the sky.
Li Hao looked up and saw a golden dragon soul phantom flying out from high in the sky, quickly arriving at the summit.
"Summoned by the Tower Master, please assemble quickly."
The dragon soul phantom said rapidly, and at the same time, a golden passage appeared behind it, piercing through the entire Dragon Shield Tower and reaching the top of the tower.
Li Hao's heart tightened, knowing that it was likely that there was a war, otherwise the Tower Master would not easily disturb others' cultivation and quiet recuperation.
He did not say much and quickly rose from the mountain spring. After he put on his clothes, he saw a figure rushing over from the void; it was Shi Miao.
The other party had the tower token for his floor and could enter and exit freely.
"Summoned by the Tower Master, it is estimated that there is an Ancient Demon invasion."
Shi Miao found Li Hao and said with a solemn expression, "When you go into battle, remember to stay by my side and don't take risks. A war of this scale is no small matter. The strong among the Ancient Demons might launch a sneak attack, trying to crush the dazzling and hard-to-crack bones. Withdrawing one's edge is the only way to live longer."
Li Hao knew she was worried about his safety and said, "Don't worry, I will grasp it."
Shi Miao nodded, and then the two of them went along the golden light toward the top of the tower.
When the two arrived, they saw that the other seven were already present. Their gazes fell one after another on the two, especially on Li Hao.
Li Hao could feel the solemnity and worry in their eyes. Clearly, he was the shortcoming here.
"There is an enemy attack, the scale is not small, prepare to go into battle."
Long Ying looked around and said in a deep voice.
Duan Yuan and the others all nodded, already fully armed, wearing immortal helmets and battle armor.
"The duties we have to undertake this time, in addition to the previous Kan Dragon Army, also include the Kun Dragon Army of the Ninth Battalion."
Long Ying said in a deep voice, "A larger scope means we have to push the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Formation to the limit to protect them all!"
"The Kun Dragon Army is also under us?"
Duan Yuan and the others' expressions changed slightly. Liu Li asked suspiciously, "Could it be that something happened to a Dragon Shield Tower?"
"That is not the case, but there are other tasks to execute, so we have to undertake a bit more."
Long Ying shook his head, but his gaze fell on Li Hao, saying, "Brother Hao Tian, although you have mastered the formation, you are only at the First Level of the Immortal King Realm after all, and your own power is too weak. I applied for this World-Exploding Pill, which can allow you to briefly rise to the Second Level of the Immortal King Realm. It is just that there will be some sequelae afterward, and it will also have a relatively high consumption of lifespan. You..."
Before he could finish, the pill in his hand, which was emitting purple-black light, was knocked over by a force.
Shi Miao said coldly, "I will take his share. It is impossible to eat this kind of thing!"
Long Ying opened his mouth slightly, then smiled bitterly, realizing that these direct disciples of Immortal Emperors could not possibly take such pills. After all, once swallowed, in addition to the problems he mentioned, it would also cause cracks in the domain, which would have an impact on cultivation and advancement.
Others also knew this point. In silence, no one forced Li Hao. If it were them, they would not be willing to swallow this thing either, unless it was a life-and-death moment.
"Since that is the case, Brother Hao Tian, you will be responsible for the dragon tail part. Shi Miao, your combat power exceeds Duan Yuan's. I will be responsible for the dragon head, so you will be responsible for the Heaven Claw!" Long Ying said.
Shi Miao's brows furrowed, wanting to refuse, as this would be too far from Li Hao. But before she could speak, Li Hao sent a voice transmission to her: "Let it be like this. Since we came here to train, we should also focus on killing Ancient Demons. Otherwise, if I become a burden, it would be meaningless."
Hearing Li Hao say this, Shi Miao looked at him. Seeing the fighting spirit and decisiveness in Li Hao's eyes, she immediately understood that the youth's heart was not only about his own safety but also had the great love of pitying the world.
"Then take care of yourself."
Shi Miao said.
She knew that Li Hao had that set of top-tier immortal armor, plus the End-of-Time Immortal Sword, so his ability to save his life was not low, even higher than others in this tower. If something really happened, her reinforcements would be in time. Otherwise, even if she went against Li Hao's words, she would not be willing to leave.
Hum!
At this time, a vast and boundless dragon roar came from outside the tower, like the lowing of an ox, resembling a tiger's roar from the deep sea, low and vigorous.
Long Ying raised his hand, hiding the barrier inside the tower. The tower walls seemed to turn transparent, and the scene outside the tower emerged. In the towering Longmen City, countless buildings were situated. Between these mountain-like buildings, streams of light flew out. Some figures revealed their original forms, carrying monstrous ghost energy, while others were various dragon clans.
They were like dragon clan mutations. Some looked like crawling lizards with wings on their backs, some were fat like goats but had scales all over their bodies, and others looked like giant crocodiles but had sharp horns and dragon tails on their heads; they were the Crocodile Dragon Clan.
In the Eastern Domain, the vast majority were demon races, but they also belonged to the myriad clans of the True Realm. The number of humans here was extremely small. Under the suppression of the Ancestral Dragon Court, these demon races had no internal strife. When the Ancient Demons invaded, they shouldered the responsibility of guarding the Eastern Domain. After all, the Eastern Domain and the True Realm were their home.
"They have all moved out, it is our turn too."
Looking at the countless streams of light flying toward the battlefield outside the city, Long Ying said in a deep voice.
Li Hao had participated in wars elsewhere before, including on the border of the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, but that border battlefield was clearly not as good as this one, nor was it the largest front-line battlefield against the outside world.
At this moment, the magnificent scene before him gave Li Hao a sense of shock. The myriad clans were rushing to the battlefield outside the city to fight the Ancient Demons.
What would the battlefield of one hundred thousand years ago be like?
Li Hao felt a sense of blood surging within his body. He summoned the set of immortal armor and put it on.
Although this top-tier domain weapon could not release its full power at this time, anyone with a discerning eye could feel its extraordinary nature, containing a terrifying might.
Long Ying and the others glanced at Li Hao, knowing that he was a direct disciple of an Immortal Emperor and must have treasures to save his life, and this domain weapon would certainly not be bad.
"Go!"
Long Ying said in a low voice. His body suddenly turned, transforming into a golden Ancestral Dragon, soaring into the sky with a dragon roar.
Duan Yuan and the others transformed into their original forms one after another, their auras not hidden in the slightest, flying behind Long Ying.
Li Hao and Shi Miao did not fall behind either, both chasing after them.
As they crossed the mountain-like thousand towers in the city, the nine of them arrived at Longmen City. Scanning their eyes, they saw that the battlefield outside the city was already hot. In the high sky ahead, black clouds gathered, and within them were countless Ancient Demon figures, mostly Ancient Demons of the True Immortal Realm, with huge physiques, emitting extremely ferocious auras, having a natural sense of oppression.
At this time, on the city walls, countless figures stood, all soldiers who had rushed here.
On the inner side of the city, there were also a large number of soldiers of various clans, arranged in various places, condensing large formations.
Bang! Bang!
At this time, terrifying black meteors from the Ancient Demons smashed over, hitting Longmen City.
The barrier on the city emerged, with dragon patterns coiling around, blocking the black meteor attack.
"The momentum this time is not small!"
Seeing this scene, Long Ying's pair of dragon eyes were extremely solemn. Duan Yuan and the others also felt that the Ancient Demons' formation was not weak, and all of them had solemn expressions.
Not far away, golden streams of light suddenly shot out from the city, like golden rain, falling toward the direction of the Ancient Demons.
Among the Ancient Demons, a black cloud suddenly condensed, blocking the golden light rain. Immediately afterward, a huge arm condensed from black energy was revealed, clenching its fist. That arm was ten thousand miles thick, raised high, and smashed down with one punch toward the barrier on Longmen City.
With a boom, the barrier on the city surged, countless golden lights shattered, and some dragon patterns also collapsed and dimmed.
"So strong!"
On the city, many people's expressions changed. There were terrifying powerhouses of the high Immortal King Realm among the Ancient Demons.
"This is the aura of the perfection of the Immortal King Realm."
Shi Miao's expression was solemn. At this time, she could not fight against the perfection of the Immortal King Realm either.
After all, that was already standing at the highest point of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
"The Dragon Blade Tower has taken action!"
Long Ying suddenly said.
I saw that above the city wall next to it, nine huge Ancestral Dragons suddenly appeared. The bodies of the Ancestral Dragons spanned tens of thousands of miles; it was the formation condensed by the army, with hair fluttering between the scales and divine light blooming.
At this time, the nine Ancestral Dragons all sprayed hot True Dragon Annihilation Flames toward the battlefield ahead.
That was silver-gray flame, emitting an aura of annihilation, spraying through the barrier into the Ancient Demon group.
This did not belong to any kind of immortal technique, but the power of hundreds of thousands of True Immortals within the nine Ancestral Dragon bodies gathered, turning into a pure killing move by burning immortal power, possessing extremely pure destructive power.
On the battlefield, many fancy immortal techniques might not be effective. This is a place where blood is repaid with blood. The most terrifying immortal power annihilation moves are even harder to parry.
And this kind of move can only be performed by an army formation. Once an individual burns their own immortal power to annihilate, they would fall before killing the enemy.
But in an army formation, they can gather the power of hundreds of thousands of True Immortals, turning it into this kind of terrifying move. The damage to the group is almost non-existent. Of course, unless it is a battle to the extreme, repeated use of overdraft will reveal terrifying side effects.
Accompanied by the sweeping of the True Dragon Annihilation Flames, the black clouds in the Ancient Demon formation were immediately pierced through. Some Ancient Demons in the front screamed, performing the bloodline techniques of the Ancient Demon Clan, but they could not parry them, and they turned into ashes in an instant.
During this continuous casualty, a large piece of black energy suddenly surged out from the Ancient Demons, condensing into a huge skull-like head. With one mouth, it sucked away the True Dragon Annihilation Flames released by an Ancestral Dragon formation, as if eating it.
Just at this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded in the city. This sound shook the heavens and the earth, like a thunderclap from thin air.
Immediately afterward, a phantom emerged from above the battlefield. It was a huge dragon claw, slapping toward that huge skull head, actually pinching it directly, pressing it from high in the sky to the ground. The earth roared, and the skull head was also pinched to death.
"The World-Suppressing Dragon Claw of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, the City Lord has taken action!"
Seeing this scene, Long Ying's eyes were happy.
Without that skull head, the other True Dragon Annihilation Flames sprayed, causing not small casualties in the Ancient Demon formation, and the wailing and screaming of many Ancient Demons came.
Before Li Hao and the others could show joy, suddenly, a condensed black energy among the Ancient Demons suddenly smashed toward the barrier on the city.
That black energy was like a finger, stretching out from the Ancient Demon group, as if poking fiercely. The barrier covering this million-mile border wall seemed to have suffered a huge shock. The countless golden patterns on it shook fiercely, and then, it suddenly shattered.
The barrier of Longmen City was broken!
Seeing this scene, many people's expressions changed. Long Ying's expression also changed slightly, saying, "It broke faster than before. The offensive this time is fiercer. Everyone, hold on!"
Longmen City has three barriers. One is the outermost city, the second is to protect the city, and the third is the inner city.
Usually in a great battle, under the fierce attack of both sides, the outer city barrier will break. Before the second barrier, countless soldiers in the city will defend to the death. Only in the most critical situation will they retreat to the inner city.
"It is our Dragon Shield Tower's turn to take action, protect the Kun Dragon Army and the Kan Dragon Army!"
Long Ying gave a low shout: "Form the formation!"
Duan Yuan and the others shouted in unison, releasing the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Formation. Golden light emerged from each other's bodies, their immortal power turned into formation bases, and the formations released by each other quickly resonated and merged into one.
Shi Miao also released the formation with a wave of her hand, merging into the formation.
Li Hao released immortal power, quickly outlining, and the formation emerged accordingly. He also merged into it, arriving at a part of the dragon tail.
Behind them was a vast army. In this army were various clans, revealing their original bodies, strange and varied, but on different parts of their bodies, there were camp numbers in the army, engraved with the characters Kan or Kun.
Among them, there were also several large flags fluttering in the wind, establishing the army's heart.
Accompanied by Long Ying's low roar, the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Formation transformed by the nine of them shrouded out, covering these two vast armies inside.
In an instant, Li Hao felt that these people entered the formation, and their immortal power also seemed to merge into the formation, with a feeling of being able to circulate and help each other.
"Kill!"
Accompanied by countless roars, the Ancient Demon army ahead also rushed over in a mighty force.
On the city walls, countless figures rushed out, killing outside the city walls. Both sides had earth-shattering roars, ten thousand times louder than thunder.
In this magnificent battlefield, Li Hao felt that the large formation transformed by the nine of them, including the two armies they covered, seemed to be only a small part of it, extremely inconspicuous, let alone individuals, who were like ants and dust, completely invisible.
Kill!
The two armies also formed their own army formations, transforming into two ferocious savage dragons, with limbs cast from iron water and extremely strong bodies, rushing into the battlefield.
The Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Formation and the Savage Dragon Army Formation complemented each other, forming a sharp force, killing into the Ancient Demon group.
And within the Ancient Demon group, the Yan Ghost Formation was also condensed, transforming into a huge black ghost with a ferocious face, condensed by hundreds of thousands of True Immortal Ancient Demons, as if crawling out of the abyss, waving its arms to slap Li Hao and the others.
"Dragon Counter!"
Long Ying gave a low shout, calmly controlling the formation. The golden dragon body transformed by the nine people had dragon scales suddenly stand up, performing a counter-attack.
The destructive power of the Yan Ghost Formation condensed by hundreds of thousands of Ancient Demons was already difficult for low-level Immortal Kings to parry. This is the terror of the formation.
As the black giant ghost's arm swung down, the dragon scales were cut, and the other party was obviously injured. At this time, the two savage dragons in the formation rushed out, biting the black giant ghost, biting out groups of black energy. The edge of the formation was immediately broken, and some Ancient Demons were dragged out and smashed directly.
Li Hao stayed at the dragon tail, with the dragon body in front. He had not really exerted his strength yet. At this time, he also had spare energy to sweep across the battlefield, and he saw huge figures condensed by army formations everywhere, stepping and fighting on the battlefield. The army formation is the explosion that can multiply the collective power by several times or even ten times.
With the help of these army formations, hundreds of thousands of True Immortals can kill Immortal Kings!
Without an army formation, even if an Immortal King were sleeping there, True Immortals would not be able to hurt him in the slightest.
After countless years of fighting, these army formations were clearly studied to the extreme.
Li Hao was on this battlefield at this moment, his ears filled with vibrating roars and screams. Countless Laws collapsed, and the power of the domain shrouded out, but it was torn apart in the blink of an eye. In such a battlefield, the Immortal King Realm seemed to be a flash in the pan.
Suddenly, a black giant ghost rushed from the side, attacking the dragon tail.
