Chapter 902

This news was earth-shattering, causing the entire City Lord's Mansion to fall into silence, as if it were dead silence.

When they came back to their senses, everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

Jianlong Pass, the first pass of the Eastern Region border, had actually been broken?!

The Ancestral Dragon transmitted the message, written in dragon blood. This was a symbol of the pass being broken, but... how could this be possible?!

"How could Jianlong Pass be broken? We haven't even waited for reinforcements. Could it be a surprise attack?"

This sudden bolt from the blue made everyone's hair stand on end, and they had a feeling of horror.

On the battlefield, things change in an instant, and anything can happen, but this bad news was too shocking.

"Quick, send someone to teleport to Jianlong Pass to confirm the intelligence!"

After Long Potian was stunned, he came back to his senses and said hurriedly.

Others also reacted one after another and quickly arranged for sentries to go and investigate.

Not long after, news came back from Jianlong Pass. Of the team of sentries sent, only one escaped back. As soon as he returned, he ordered an emergency blockade of the teleportation array and destroyed the teleportation anchor point of the Jianlong Pass channel!

The news was also transmitted back to the City Lord's Mansion for the first time. Long Potian received the situation brought back by the sentry. It was a miserable and tragic scene of a desperate situation. That solemn and iron-blooded Jianlong Pass, that city that had stood for countless years, had now turned into broken walls!

The towering city walls, tens of thousands of feet high, were broken into shocking holes, which was chilling.

On the ground were huge footprints, torn earth, and in the void, there were holes that could not be healed for a long time. Inside those holes contained the power of void destruction, which could not be approached, as if they were whirlpools that could swallow the living things that approached.

On the ground, there were wrecks and blood everywhere, including those of the Eastern Region tribes, as well as a large number of Ancient Demon corpses.

The most terrifying thing was that the Divine Dragon Sculpture of Jianlong Pass, which symbolized the supreme symbol of the Ancestral Dragon lineage, had actually broken. The dragon's head was shattered on the ground, the dragon's body was torn, and the sharp claws were broken!

You must know that this Divine Dragon Sculpture was an Immortal Forbidden Emperor Artifact!

Especially after being stained with the blood of the Ancestral Dragon lineage, it could erupt with power comparable to an Immortal Emperor!

At this moment, this sculpture was actually incomplete, and the Emperor Artifact had been destroyed!

"This, what happened?"

Long Potian was shocked and unable to believe it. He only felt his heart trembling. Although there were frequent wars on the border, in so many years, he had never encountered such a heavy blow!

Jianlong Pass, as the first pass of the Eastern Region, had only been broken three times. Once was the much more distant Battle of the Broken Realm Mountain, which was an internal war of the Myriad Tribes of the Heavens, which was extremely distant.

The second time was the Ancient Demon Great War, and the third time was a certain Ancient Demon surprise attack campaign fifty thousand years ago.

And now, the fourth time had actually appeared!

"Jianlong Pass has a Great Emperor of the Candle Dragon Clan guarding it, and nine Quasi-Emperor Realms sitting in town. How could it..."

Long Potian was somewhat lost. The pass was broken, and the key was that they didn't even receive the news of asking for reinforcements. It could be seen how fierce this attack was!

Just when they were in a mess, suddenly, a loud dragon roar pierced through the sky, extending from the void along some power that exceeded the laws. That dragon roar deterred the heavens and earth and looked over the heavens. It was the power from the Ancestral Dragon Court of the Eastern Region.

The dragon roar broke through the air and descended into the City Lord's Mansion, turning into an Ancestral Dragon Order.

The order from the Ancestral Dragon Court came out from the Ancestral Dragon Order:

"Jianlong Pass is broken, the Candle Dragon Great Emperor is seriously injured. Lead the four Quasi-Emperors, as well as the soldiers of Jianlong Pass, to retreat and guard the hundred-city defense line, take the Ancestral Longcheng as the foundation, and fight the Ancient Demons to the death. Each city must fully reinforce and fight to the death!"

The whisper from the Ancestral Dragon came out. Long Potian and the others were all stunned. This meant that Jianlong Pass was really broken, the sentry's news was true, and that Candle Dragon Great Emperor was actually seriously injured. This was an Immortal Emperor! How many campaigns, he might not necessarily take action himself, yet this time he was seriously injured, and could only abandon Jianlong Pass and retreat to the second line of defense.

"What about the spies among the Ancient Demons? How come there is no intelligence at all? The Ancient Demons suddenly launched such a battle formation, it must be that the Great Emperor among the Ancient Demons has also been dispatched!"

Long Potian's expression was suspicious, but his mind was somewhat chaotic. He knew that the elders in the Ancestral Dragon Court would not sit idly by, and they had probably already rushed to the Ancestral Longcheng.

This border war suddenly took a turn for the worse, and such major casualties appeared, which seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen!

"Quick, mobilize the army and teleport to Ancestral Longcheng for reinforcements!"

Long Potian ordered hurriedly.

Qing Xuan nodded, his expression incomparably solemn, and even cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

He ordered quickly, but when mobilizing the army, some figures appeared in his mind, and he immediately gave a hint to let the dispatched army avoid those people.

After all, this reinforcement had a very high casualty rate, and it was better to keep some seeds in Longmen City.

Outside Jianlong Pass.

In the darkness of the void starry sky, a group of figures stood here. Among them, three figures were the most towering, like three mountains, standing quietly. The might emanating from their bodies made the entire void seem to freeze, time and space were cut off, and they did not flow, as if they were stagnant outside the world.

This meant that in such stagnant time and space, they could live forever.

The position they were in was the Eternal Realm.

Besides the three figures, there was also a group of figures of different heights standing beside them. Among them, there was a figure with a graceful posture and cold and sharp eyes. Although the body was the terrifying figure of an Ancient Demon, a pair of eyes were as bright and moving as autumn water. Although the gaze was cold, there was a kind of beautiful feeling.

"Xueyao, this time you returned, the Reincarnation Fragment you presented is the first merit!"

Suddenly, one of the towering figures whispered. The voice was vicissitudinous and gentle, with a kind of kind and gentle feeling, as if it were a majestic yet kind elder.

"Father, it was all your reinforcements, otherwise Xueyao would not have been able to cross the Southern Region and return to the family."

That Ancient Demon with eyes like autumn water whispered softly.

If Li Hao were here, hearing this voice, he would immediately recognize that it was an Ancient Demon he had known, Seeing Mi Xueyao.

"Xueyao, this child, is indeed rare. If it weren't for her, our five clans would not have returned to good terms. Now that half of the Reincarnation Gate has been recast, the other five clans are unwilling to unite. When we take the Eastern Region and establish reincarnation here, they will naturally come."

Another towering figure said. The voice was as rough as mountain stone, but it carried a smile.

"These Myriad Tribes of the True Realm have been comfortable for too many years, and it is time to let them feel terror again."

Another figure said plainly, and the words emanated a cold indifference.

Beside them, other Ancient Demons of different heights were all silent. They were all top-tier powerhouses among the Ancient Demons, or the royal bloodlines of various clans.

They had never had any pity for the Myriad Tribes of the True Realm, viewing them as pigs and dogs, just like a pond of fish, with crucian carp, common carp, and topmouth culter, just with more patterns, and there was no big difference.

"The Emperor of the Evil Mirror and the Emperor of Poisonous Erosion have already broken the pass. It is time for us to attack the next city. That old Dragon King of the Ancestral Dragon Court must have recovered by now. Everyone, be careful. The Emperor Monarchs of other territories will probably not sit idly by. This is our second declaration of war since one hundred thousand years ago!"

The Ancient Demon whose voice was like mountain stone said in a low tone.

Its bones were hideous, and unlike other Ancient Demons, its body seemed to have no flesh and blood, only skeletons, appearing extremely rough, and some bones were like sharp knives.

Besides bones, there were many chains and terrifying weapon shapes extending on its body, such as iron hooks, saw blades, sharp cones, and so on.

Just its terrifying body had a feeling of suffocation.

As if one would be endlessly decomposed and fall into unimaginable pain.

It was one of the ten royal clans of the Ancient Demons, the Punishment Bone Clan.

Beside it, there were several Punishment Bone Clan powerhouses who were smaller in size but also ten thousand feet high. Among them was a royal bloodline heaven's pride, whose whole body was covered in chains. The ends of the chains were sharp barbs, and behind it were curved sharp knives like spider claws, stretching at will, looking extremely terrifying and strange.

Compared to the Punishment Bone Clan, Seeing Mi Xueyao, who was pitch black, was undoubtedly "delicate and lovely".

As a Yama Clan member, she was considered the existence closest to the human race in appearance among the ten clans.

"Shatter the Eastern Region!"

Seeing Mi Xueyao's father, this Yama Emperor, also said slowly and in a low tone at this moment.

Hearing her father's words, Seeing Mi Xueyao looked into the distance. That pass ahead was already swaying in the wind and rain, the city was broken and messy, corpses were everywhere, and the remaining soldiers were still barely resisting, but they became the after-battle meal for their army.

Suddenly, for some reason, a figure flashed in Seeing Mi Xueyao's heart.

Human race... She originally had no feeling for the human race, and no pity, just like other Ancient Demons, looking at the human race as if looking at bugs.

But on the border of a certain Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region, she was saved by that human race and spent several months with the other party... Those bugs were not only capable of screaming and fighting, but also had that noble indifference and composure.

Thinking of that young man, she thought of the other party's magical cooking ability, taking Ancient Demons as food, and actually being able to quickly refine power and enhance the soul.

After she returned, she looked for many chefs of the Ancient Demon clans in the clan. Alas, their Ancient Demon clan was not so picky about eating and drinking, only picky about ingredients, and about cooking... they only paid attention to the simplest methods.

Although the chefs in the royal clan also became very exquisite in cooking, they were still far from being able to refine power that enhanced the soul from Ancient Demon flesh and blood.

She later looked for some divine chefs of the human race, and they also failed to do it. The best performer also spent countless divine medicines and several years of effort to cook an Immortal Lord Realm Ancient Demon, but it could only barely nourish and advance the soul a little bit... The effect was too poor, and it was not worth it at all.

Now that hundreds of years have passed, I don't know where that young man is now, and how many Ancient Demons he has eaten, and what kind of realm his Primordial Spirit has cultivated to.

Since the end of the Southern Region Assembly Battle, she had never seen that young man's figure again, and had lost his whereabouts, so she returned to the family alone.

"Now, perhaps he should have reached the perfection of the Immortal Lord Realm..."

She murmured in her heart, but the corner of her mouth could not help but hook up a curve. Although she knew that the young man would cook his own kind, they, the Ancient Demon clan, not only looked down on the Myriad Tribes, but also looked down on other Ancient Demon clans, all viewing their own clan as the most noble and supreme, and there was not much emotion of sympathy for their own kind.

Perhaps, their clan was a life born lacking emotion.

That's why they were so strong and could sweep across the Myriad Tribes of the True Realm.

"Let's go. This surprise attack on Jianlong Pass, they didn't have time to react. This second pass will not be so easy, but fortunately, we have already made preparations in advance."

Another towering figure said coldly. It was pitch black, like a scorched dry corpse, but black flames were floating in the flesh seams. The flames did not emanate high temperature, but instead made people feel extremely cold, or hot to the extreme, making people unable to distinguish between heat and cold.

"You all, also set off with your troops!"

Yama Emperor ordered.

The many figures beside him all nodded.

Seeing Mi Xueyao also bowed and nodded slightly, saying: "Father, child will also go!"

"Don't take risks, be careful of reinforcements from other regions."

Yama Emperor said gently.

Seeing Mi Xueyao nodded, then her figure flickered and flew toward the front at high speed.

In Longmen City.

Seventh floor of the Dragon Shield, first floor.

In the mountain spring on the peak, Li Hao slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were gray-silver, with a feeling of emptiness, but they seemed to contain Myriad Daos of flawless silver light.

"Sound..."

After a hundred years of contemplation on the Extreme Dao, plus the ten years of closed-door cultivation in Longmen City.

At this very moment, Li Hao finally had an epiphany.

Sound Dao, entering without seams!

The Dao says, supreme goodness is like water, water benefits all things and does not contend.

Water is the softest, but when frozen into ice, it is the sharpest.

And sound is even more terrifying. Sound can penetrate water currents and can penetrate rock layers.

What can prevent water may not be able to prevent sound. Sound is rhythm, is vibration, all things have sound, once resonant, it can be transmitted.

"Musical rhythm... piercing all things, piercing the void, penetrating all surface layers, reaching the depths of the soul!"

"Entering without holes, penetrating all things, Heavenly Sound Piercing the Void..."

Li Hao murmured to himself.

In front of him, a panel prompt jumped out.

【Comprehended 'Void-Piercing Heart-Mind', Musical Rhythm Dao elevated to the thirteenth stage!】

The shackles lost their fetters, and countless insights surged into his heart. Li Hao sat in the mountain spring, but felt connected to the entire mountain body. The Void-Piercing Dao of musical rhythm made him feel that he himself was also a musical rhythm, capable of piercing all things, piercing the heavens and earth, and capable of having a tighter connection with all things!

And this feeling was very much like Immortal Transformation!

Immortal Transformation is the body merging into the heavens and earth, consciousness dispersing into the heavens and earth, in a delicate balance between form and dispersion.

Li Hao had already mastered the Extreme Realm of Immortal Transformation. Under the Void-Piercing Heart-Mind at this moment, his feeling was deeper, and the feeling of Immortal Transformation seemed to have been enhanced ten or a hundred times.

Once, he vaguely touched the deepest part of the heavens and earth, that majestic will.

That is the Heavenly Venerable!

Immortal Transformation is the extreme, Heavenly Venerable is the end!

At this very moment, while Li Hao comprehended the Void-Piercing Heart-Mind of musical rhythm, his consciousness also merged infinitely into the heavens and earth, like the strongest sound, touching the deepest part of the heavens and earth.

He had barely touched the power of the Heavenly Venerable before and could vaguely feel it, but now, it was real and solid. He felt that in the deepest part of the heavens and earth, there was a power, as if it were the Heavenly Dao, but it was different from the Heavenly Dao power he felt on the Ascension Road.

The Heavenly Dao felt on the Ascension Road was supreme, but it seemed to have the emotions of life.

And the Heavenly Venerable he felt at this moment was as if it were the truth of the universe's operation, the order of everything, cold, supreme, yet without the slightest emotion, indifferent and majestic, immovable and inseparable.

"This is... what kind of existence?"

Li Hao felt a shudder all over his body.

That Heavenly Venerable seemed to be an existence comparable to the Heavenly Dao, without the slightest emotion, yet terrifying to the extreme.
