Shadow underworld.
Above the great whirlpool of the Styx, there is a city in the sky.
The thick dark green roots are like strong arms.
It entangles the City of Xiguang, preventing the city and tens of thousands of its residents from falling into the dark vortex of the Styx.
Many tender green branches grow from the roots of the tree, climbing up the slender tower-shaped building with an elf-like shape.
Some of these vines even bloom and bear fruit in the underworld.
The fruit of the World Tree looks like a huge golden apple.
Each one is emitting radiance, like a little sun that never sets, dispelling the darkness of the underworld and instilling hope in people's hearts.
Under the natural dome formed by the vines of the World Tree, four Galaxy Guards were walking and chatting, bathed in the soft light.
Taona looked Helent up and down and felt particularly unfamiliar with this red-haired girl who was wearing a snow-white robe with the emblem of holy light and exuded a holy temperament.
I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I just asked him in person.
"Sister Helen! As a demon warlock, how did you sneak into the Holy Light Church and become a 'Holy Light Apostle'?"
"Sister Taona, the warlock bloodline only represents my origin, and it cannot define my beliefs and concepts of good and evil."
Helen explained calmly.
"As long as one has a heart of goodness, even a succubus of pure blood can become a paladin and contribute to the cause of justice."
"What's more, I am just a warlock with high-level succubus bloodline. I yearn for light with all my heart. It is all because of my piety that I moved my Lord and granted me divine grace."
Feilin was listening nearby and interrupted her with a sneer.
"Senior! Tao Na is not the person you should preach to, let alone a lost lamb. Please control your temper!"
"Friends, don't be so pretentious. Can't you just tell the truth?"
Helen smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry, my occupational disease has come on..."
"In fact, what I just said was the truth, and I sincerely want to join the Church of Holy Light."
"You may not understand why someone like me, who has devil blood flowing in my veins, is particularly eager for a pure and holy cause."
"Given my background, it is not reasonable for me to be recommended by the church to become an Apostle of Holy Light."
"But I am lucky to have been specially selected by my Lord."
"My Lord's previous life was my junior at the Warlock Academy. We once spent some time together on the ship..."
"Of course I know that, but you and Angel don't have much friendship, right?" Tao Na asked relentlessly.
This question really embarrassed Helen.
The red-haired girl rolled her watery eyes, trying to make up an excuse to get away with it decently.
At this time, Feilin took over the conversation with a smile.
"Not only do senior sister Helen and Angel have no friendship, but she even held a grudge against him because of her failed attempt to seduce Angel on the ship!"
"If it weren't for Alan's protection, she would definitely find a chance to make things difficult for Angel and vent her anger!"
Now Helen really couldn't hold it anymore.
Unable to maintain her elegant demeanor, she stamped her feet and angrily scolded Feilin: "Little fatty, shut up! What good will it do you to expose my past?!"
Feilin ignored her complaints and continued to expose the truth.
"To put it bluntly, the reason why His Highness Guang made an exception and recruited Senior Helen into our church was entirely for Allen's sake. After all, Senior Helen and Allen were having an affair..."
"In fact, not only Miss Guang, but all relatives and friends of Alan will receive special care from His Highness Guang. I have also benefited from it."
"I'm also Alan's friend, why didn't you take care of me?"
Tao Na's face was full of grievance.
Helen rolled her eyes at her and retorted unhappily:
"You chose to join Life Church, who can you blame?"
As soon as he said this, he realized Qinglan was following him, so he quickly stopped talking and tried to change the subject.
Qinglan smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.
"The Life Church and the Holy Light Church are like a pair of sisters. Don't harbor sectarian views and treat each other as outsiders."
Taona, Felin and Helen nodded in agreement, but they knew in their hearts that even sisters could have conflicts. How could two churches with different philosophies be free of grudges?
Only because we face a common enemy and are bound together by common interests can we maintain deep cooperation in Xiguang City.
Qinglan groaned for a moment, then said to Tao Na:
"In fact, you have also received the care of His Highness Guang."
"The day after His Highness Guang greeted Her Majesty the Queen, you were included in the church's key training list. This doesn't seem like a coincidence."
Tao Na nodded suddenly and murmured, "That kid Allen has been missing for a whole year. I don't know what he is busy with or what level of cultivation he has reached."
During this year, everyone has been practicing hard.
Tao Na is in the late sixth stage, and it won’t be long before she breaks through to the seventh stage.
But she was not in a hurry to break through. She planned to improve her bloodline potential first, hoping that after reaching the seventh level, she would be able to awaken the transcendent realm at the fastest speed.
Feilin and Herent are both in the early stage of level six.
The senior sister Qinglan recently crossed the ninth level and gained an additional super-limit level.
Even if she encounters a nine-headed poisonous dragon, she has the confidence to fight it alone.
The nine-headed poisonous dragon reminded Qinglan of Allen again.
A year ago, Allen was only a seventh-level warlock, but he killed a nine-headed poisonous dragon in a melee, which shocked her deeply!
No wonder Taona, Feilin and Helente all expressed their heartfelt admiration when they mentioned him.
No wonder His Highness Guang and His Highness Hua both pay special attention to this person.
Qinglan is a very proud person.
Her talent is something to be proud of.
But after meeting Allen, she realized that there are young people in this world who are more talented than herself.
The Holy Demon Ancestral Court still has a leader who has not yet been reincarnated.
The positions that most urgently need to be filled are "Lord of Wind" and "Lord of Death".
Qinglan originally thought that she had a chance to enter the sequence of candidate sect leaders and receive intensive training.
It now seems that Allen is the popular first candidate.
Qinglan's blood affinity makes it unlikely that he can fuse the "Origin of Death" and reincarnate as the "Lord of Death".
If Allen is also not interested in the position of the leader of the "City of Memory" and intends to merge the "Origin of Wind"...
There is no hope for Qinglan at all!
When I think of this, I can’t help feeling a little disappointed.
At this moment, a magic alarm suddenly sounded over the city!
Everyone stopped and their expressions changed.
The roots of the World Tree that wrapped around Xiguang City, along with the vines and leaves that grew from the roots, all emitted magical light, forming a shining spherical shield that protected the city.
This is the maze barrier that opens spontaneously when the roots of the World Tree face a crisis.
Creatures below the legendary level cannot enter the Xiguang City shrouded by a maze without authorization.
According to past experience, the invading enemies are mostly undead spirits or evil spirits wandering in the underworld.
This type of enemy is usually not a big threat.
The city's armed forces, composed of clergy from the "Church of Life" and the "Church of Holy Light", can easily cope with the situation under the protection of the maze barrier.
Occasionally, large groups of poisonous dragons would rush out of the whirlpool of the Styx and madly gnaw at the roots of the World Tree.
The residents of Xiguang City cannot resist threats of this level on their own.
Qinglan and others are stationed in Xiguang City to guard against such situations.
Everyone hurried to the enemy-attack area.
As expected, groups of purple poisonous dragons rushed out of the whirlpool of the Styx and were rushing towards Xiguang City.
The Poison Dragon Clan is mostly at level seven or level eight.
Unable to break through the barrier formed by the World Tree Maze and break into the city to cause trouble.
However, this does not mean that the city residents can rest easy.
The Poison|Dragon's claws, soaked in poison, are one of the very few means in the world that can harm the World Tree and prevent the wound from healing itself.
Because of this, the Poison Dragon Clan has been regarded as the number one enemy by the "Church of Life" since ancient times, and they are called "worms that corrode the world tree" with fear and disgust.
It was not the first time that Taona, Feilin and Helent had participated in the battle against the poisonous dragon's attack.
He calmly took out the Galaxy Ring and sent a request to the Maze Center to establish a mental link.
In a flash, everyone's application was approved, and they were granted permission to call upon the magic power of the maze.
In this state, the magic power consumed by everyone in casting magic and magical martial arts is provided by the maze.
In addition, Galaxy Guardians have the right to call upon spells and special skills mounted on the mystery lock.
The calling authority is equivalent to one’s own rank + star rating.
Feilin, Taona and Helent are all sixth-level warlocks and two-star galactic guards.
Therefore, the three of them can cast up to 8th-level spells, which is far beyond their own spellcasting ability.
The World Tree Maze is jointly maintained by the "Church of Life" and the "Church of Holy Light".
The spells mounted on the maze are mostly nature, medical and light spells, which are suitable for fighting against the evil demons, undead and poisonous dragons in the underworld.
Taona raised her hand, her blue eyes gleaming with anger.
The blazing flames turned into a storm and blasted towards the poisonous dragon.
Poison dragons are a water subspecies and are naturally afraid of fire.
Tao Na released the 7th level spell "Flame Storm", which can kill the poison dragon and prevent the wound from regenerating.
Another advantage of "Firestorm" is that it will not cause damage to the roots of the world tree around the poisonous dragon, so you can bombard it boldly without any worries.
Felin and Helen, both holding holy emblems in their hands, chanted prayers praising the "Holy Light".
Draw power from the puzzle and unleash the same magic.
8th ring "Yangyan Explosion"!
A huge ball of light burst out in the night sky of the underworld.
It was as if two scorching suns rose.
Many poisonous dragons were instantly blinded by the strong light and howled in pain.
The scales all over his body were burned by the high temperature, and blood mist was rising, making a hissing sound.
At the same time, elite priests from the two major churches came to join the battle in every corner of the city.
Their level does not exceed level five.
But within the maze barrier, one can also use 6th-level magic to kill poisonous dragons.
As the battle continued, the maze barrier consumed a huge amount of energy.
The golden fruits on the vines are darkening in color.
These golden fruits are like the "batteries" of the puzzle.
If the battle lasts too long and the magic power is overdrawn, the fruit will wither and die, and the World Tree Maze will become disabled and collapse.
To avoid this terrible situation, the battle must be ended before the magic power is exhausted to buy time for the magic lock to recharge.
Qinglan knew this very well.
She did not have the ability to cast the spells required to invoke the mythal.
The highest level of the World Tree Maze that can be mounted on it is the 9th level.
Her own spellcasting ability has reached the same level.
Qinglan opens the "Eternal Spring Field" and casts the 2nd-level spell "Protection from Poison", which is increased to the 9th level and can resist and remove all poisons that do not exceed level 9.
The radiation radius of the "Eternal Spring Field" is as far as 9 kilometers, even beyond the coverage area of ​​the maze barrier.
The roots of the World Tree that were being bitten by the poisonous dragon were blessed with "Super Limit Protective Toxin", and the wounds turned from purple to tender green, the venom was discharged, and vitality was restored.
In the second over-limit position, Qinglan mounted the "anti-living creature shield".
This 6th level spell, when extended to 9th level, forcibly pushed away the poisonous dragon that was clinging to the roots of the World Tree and gnawing at it.
Until it popped out of Qinglan's territory.
"Super-limit anti-living creature shield" is like adding another circle of protection shield outside the world tree barrier.
A few poisonous dragons that are good at teleportation magic can bypass this emerald-colored force field shield and teleport directly in.
Seeing this scene, Qinglan smiled indifferently.
I plan to use the last super limit to mount an 8-ring "dimensional lock".
In this way, the poisonous dragons outside the area cannot be teleported in, and the poisonous dragons that have already entered cannot teleport away and can only leave their lives behind.
However, before she could complete the spellcasting process, something unexpected happened outside the city!
A terrifying roar came from the depths of the whirlpool of the Styx.
From far to near, it gradually becomes sharper.
Everyone in the city, including Qinglan, saw darkness before their eyes and silence the moment they heard the roar.
The senses of touch, smell and taste also disappeared one after another.
Only the thoughts in my mind can still barely keep functioning.
When you are in a state of losing all five senses, being clear-headed is a torture and only deepens your fear of the unknown.
Qinglan was the first to come to her senses.
Realized that he and his companions were poisoned by Leviathan!
However……
Xiguang City is protected by the World Tree Maze, isolating it from toxins from the outside world.
What's more, her "super-limit protective toxin" is still in effect, adding another layer of insurance.
How could the poison dragon possibly break through these two lines of defense and poison all the residents in the city in an instant?
Qinglan managed to stay calm, her mind working at full speed.
Suddenly, I thought of a very terrifying explanation.
Everyone was poisoned collectively because of hearing the dragon's roar!
After being poisoned, all five senses were lost, indicating that the Leviathan toxin has exceeded the resistance limit of the maze and "super-limit protective toxin" and reached the legendary level!
The reason why he and his companions were still able to remain conscious was because the 9th-ring "super-limit protective toxin" still had some anti-toxin effect.
Level 9 Leviathan Toxin can poison the gazer through the dragon's gaze.
The legendary Leviathan toxin , on this basis, the infection efficiency is further enhanced!
The victim doesn't even need to have visual contact with the legendary poison dragon. Just seeing, hearing or smelling the dragon's figure, movements or breath from afar will poison him!
Passively transmitted through the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, this is the horror of the legendary Leviathan toxin.
"Could it be that monster..."
Qinglan suppressed her palpitations, used the last field to exceed the limit, and mounted the "Group Mind's Eye".
This spell enables the recipient to use mental power to replace vision when he loses his vision, and to project the real scene into his mind.
The "Eye of the Mind of the Super-Limited Group" is bestowed upon the residents of the city through the "Eternal Spring Field".
The people whose vision had fallen into darkness finally "saw clearly" the invading enemy.
What a huge monster it is!
From beginning to end, over a thousand feet!
The scales soaked in the water of the River Styx are purple with a hint of black, shining with a dazzling luster.
The monster's head resembles a dragon, with its horns raised.
The monster's body twisted in the air like a giant python.
The monster's tail is flat and forked, resembling a whale's tail.
What level of poisonous dragon is that...? !
The same question arose in the minds of Feilin, Taona, Helent and others.
Legendary Poison|Dragon Nidhogg!
Qinglan's heart was pounding and her hair stood on end!
Nidhogg, the direct descendant of the ancestor Leviathan, the patriarch of the Styx Poison Dragon clan!
Legend has it that Nidhogg has been in a long dormancy in a deep pit at the bottom of the River Styx and has not been seen for hundreds of years.
Unexpectedly, this old monster actually woke up and launched an attack on Xiguang City personally!
Just when Qinglan and others were at a loss, Nidhogg had already opened a legendary level of super-limit field.
A huge purple vortex, centered on where he was, rapidly expanded outward.
It collided violently with Qinglan's "Eternal Spring Field", almost crushing the latter.
puff!!
Qinglan spat out a mouthful of blood.
The headache caused by the backlash of magic nearly made her faint on the spot.
The bloodless fingers trembled as they grasped the Galaxy Ring.
Now she had only one thing on her mind...
Send a letter to "Lord of Life" Luo Tianhua as soon as possible to ask for support!
However, Nidhogg's roar interrupted her actions.
The legendary poisonous dragon's aura of fear, along with its roar, penetrated Qinglan's defense line of mind, causing her to fall into indescribable panic.
Those who were not as strong as her were so frightened that they collapsed on the spot, unable to move.
After scaring off the guards, the legendary poisonous dragon swaggered through the maze barrier, opened its greedy mouth, and took a deep breath.
Many roots of the world tree were torn apart by the violent airflow and flew into Nidhogg's mouth.
Hit by the storm, Xiguang City began to shake violently.
The golden apples hanging on the branches are also shaky and may fall off at any time.
The legendary poison dragon chewed the roots of the world tree in big mouthfuls, juice flowing from the corners of his mouth, and a satisfied look of enjoying delicious food appeared in his eyes.
Just at this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the night sky of the underworld.
Accompanied by the rumbling thunder, a figure flashed over at a high speed.
BANG!!
The sudden figure crashed heavily into Nidhogg.
As if struck by a heavy hammer, the legendary poisonous dragon rolled over with its head raised.
He steadied his body, coiled in the air like a snake, and stared fiercely at the guy who interrupted him from enjoying his delicious food.
Qinglan and others also looked at the uninvited guest with curiosity and awe through their "mind's eyes".
Looks like a Titan.
However, its height is four times that of an ordinary Titan!
The upper body is covered with gorgeous pale blue scales.
Muscular arms connected to ferocious claws.
The long purple hair danced wildly in the wind.
The ends of her hair turned into nine poisonous dragons spewing purple smoke!
Above the head, there was a dark sphere floating, like a sun stained black by ink.
In one person, the blood characteristics of three primitive alien species, Titan, Behemoth and Leviathan, are combined, exuding a powerful aura that is terrifying, majestic and inexplicably fascinating.
Qinglan was stunned, her cheeks flushed and hot.
My heart couldn't help but beat so fast that it almost burst through my chest!
The mysterious giant roared to the sky.
The "Overlord's Roar" originating from the Behemoth bloodline resounded throughout the city.
Hearing his roar, Qinglan and others felt refreshed.
The fear caused by the legendary poisonous dragon was instantly dispelled by the battle roar.
Looking up again, the mysterious giant was already fighting with the legendary poisonous dragon.
The mysterious giant is indeed of great stature, but compared to the thousand-foot-tall poisonous dragon, he is still too small.
He was soon entangled by Nidhogg and strangled.
Like a rabbit entangled by a python, it looks so helpless...
In a fight of this level, Feilin and others could not intervene.
Qinglan calmed herself down and quickly adjusted her area beyond the limit.
Remove the "Anti-Living Shield" and install "Group Mobility" instead.
The golden magic light spread to the mysterious giant, helping him to successfully break free from the entanglement of the legendary poisonous dragon.
This tough man did not take the opportunity to escape.
Instead, he rushed forward bravely, holding a flawless magic shell in each hand!
The "Flawless Black Magic Shell" in his left hand exploded, releasing a high concentration of negative energy.
The nine-headed poisonous dragon transformed from the giant's long hair used hissing roars instead of casting spells, and collectively launched the "Withering Death Spell"!
Nine-headed Poison|Dragon Bloodline, combined with the 9th-level distraction meditation method, can cast nine spells at the same time!
The 8th-ring "Withering Magic" was enhanced by the "Flawless Black Magic Shell" and upgraded to the legendary level.
Nine overlapping attacks hit Nidhogg.
Coupled with the double damage of "Withering" to aquatic creatures, it is enough to cause heavy damage to this arrogant legendary poisonous dragon.
The scales all over Nidhogg's body were dry and cracked, and the poisonous blood spurting out of his wounds was greedily absorbed by the Taotie black ball in an instant, and it pressed on the wounds to spray out more blood.
Nidhogg twisted his body in pain and roared angrily.
Legends are legends after all.
Despite suffering such a heavy blow, they did not lose their fighting capacity.
The evil dragon suddenly lowered its head and bit the mysterious giant hard.
The fangs tore through the scales, sank deep into the flesh, and crushed the bones!
Nidhogg's throat moved, swallowing the prey into his mouth piece by piece.
Just when Qinglan and the others were stunned and their hearts were about to jump out of their throats...
The mysterious giant suddenly raised his right hand and punched the legendary poisonous dragon on the chin.
"Exploding Divine Power" suddenly erupted!
With the enhancement of the Flawless Thunder Demon Shell, Nidhogg's head was blown up on the spot!
However, at the same time, the upper body of the mysterious giant, which was held in the mouth of the legendary poisonous dragon, also turned into raw dust...
The headless body of the legendary poisonous dragon, entangled with the broken corpse of the mysterious giant, slid down with the blood rain all over the sky...
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, he disappeared into the depths of the whirlpool of the Styx.
