Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 89: The Tribulation of Promotion (×) Equipment Exhibition (√)

In half a month, the three sages Bai Yao, Guan Yue and Jin Hui had left.

The sages have a lot of things to do. During this special period, they have to visit their own countries in person to provide guidance on strategies, explore ruins, investigate the evil camp, contact ancient beings, and so on.

They could not stay in the Burning City for long, but each of the three sages left behind a special incarnation to walk in the Burning Oasis.

So is the Sage of the North Wind.

Sage Cangtu, who had the least trivial matters, simply stayed in Ranhuo City. He wanted to see the power of the Xinhuo Organization with his own eyes. However, during this period of time, Sage Cangtu tended to hang out in various restaurants.

“Xinhuo’s food is really great!”

"The food I've eaten these days is more than what I've eaten in the past few hundred years."

"If you need me later, I will lend a hand and help you."

He didn't think that the Xinhuo organization could not withstand the challenge of promotion.

Xinhuo has three ninth-level high-ranking masters, and Xinhuo's mentor Fang and Liufeng Sword God are all stronger than him. Xinhuo also owns a large ninth-level oasis in this Falling Star Domain.

This strength is almost unmatched among all human beings.

Even stronger than the Neverwinter Empire.

Normally, when an oasis is promoted to the ninth level, it only faces one or two high-ranking evil spirits, and can survive with the power of the Xinhuo Organization.

But being stable does not mean there will be no losses.

There will be no loss in the process of promotion.

First, the evil tide is surging. Not only are there high-level evil spirits, but there are also endless ordinary evil spirits. No matter how strong the high-level combat power is, sometimes it will be difficult to defend than to attack.

Secondly, during the promotion period, a door to the strange world will open inside the oasis.

This is the most dangerous part.

No matter how well prepared an oasis is, it cannot avoid losses when faced with evil that appears directly inside the city.

Apart from other things, even the slightest aftermath of a battle in the mythical realm and above can destroy an entire city block. Only if one's own combat power exceeds that of the evil tide by ten or a hundred times, and uses great combat power to crush and control it, can the spread of the aftermath be avoided.

But even so, the residents of the city still have to face the filthy attacks from high-level evil.

Just a few seconds is enough to cause ordinary people and low-level awakeners to degenerate and alienate with the filthy shock.

Especially since the promotion of the Burning City is open to the public for guests from all forces to learn from, this makes the situation even more difficult.

When it is safe, the awakened people in each group will naturally abide by the rules and discipline set by the Burning City, but when danger comes and casualties occur, many awakened people cannot remain calm.

At that time, the order of the Burning City will be impacted.

It may add to the chaos and should not be underestimated.

Sage Cang Tu thought that when the time comes, he would help for free and sell his firewood to the organization as a favor.

…

Today is the day when the Burning City starts upgrading to the ninth-level oasis.

The moment of promotion is scheduled for 10 a.m.

There is still one hour left until now.

There were hardly any people on the streets, and the entire Burning City was in a deserted state, much more deserted and depressed than during the disaster tide.

This certainly does not mean that the city residents and foreign awakened people have withdrawn from the oasis.

Only a very small number of people were evacuated.

But many awakened people arrived in this city one after another.

The population of the Burning City is now greater than it was half a month ago, and most of them have entered various underground shelters.

It is true that the Xinhuo Organization agreed to make the battle public, but it is impossible for them to allow the awakened ones to roam the streets freely.

During war, do warlike things.

Only representatives of superpowers and a very small number of people in charge of major forces are qualified to stay outside.

They can watch the battle and learn, but they must also stay in fixed stands. If they run around and affect the battle to defend the city, the Xinhuo Warriors will be killed on the spot for endangering the safety of the city.

No one dares to try whether the Xinhuo organization can do what it says.

For the vast majority of forces, they are not aware of the power of Xinhuo, nor do they know that Xinhuo has powerful people in high positions, but the title of overlord of Xinhuo Academy is enough to make everyone behave themselves.

Representatives from all parties climbed onto the platform and looked at the soldiers defending the city who were ready to go and full of fighting spirit not far away. They swallowed their saliva.

“It’s about to start.”

"Half an hour left."

"The promotion of the ninth-level oasis...we will meet the high-level evil spirits, right...Gulu!"

"Oh my god, I haven't even seen an eight-star evil spirit, let alone a high-level evil spirit. I'm a little scared. What should I do?"

"Coward... Well, actually I am a little scared too, but only a little bit."

"The high position is so evil, it seems that it can kill us with just one look, right? Are we really safe standing here?"

"It is safe, and the arrangements made by the Xinhuo Organization will not go wrong. Under normal circumstances, we cannot withstand the filthy impact spread by the high-level evil spirits, but after being weakened by the defense rituals of the Burning Fire City, we can easily withstand it."

"No matter what you say, everyone present is a Sixth Sense expert. If ordinary soldiers of the Xinhuo Organization can withstand the impact of filth, there is no reason why we can't, right?"

They don't mean to look down on the soldiers.

However, they are, after all, the top leaders of various powers, and the most powerful mortals who have reached the sixth level of awakening.

Even if they are not as strong or elite as the Xinhuo Organization, they are definitely much stronger than the most ordinary soldiers of the Xinhuo Organization, right?

The soldiers on the city wall stood straight, their weapons shining coldly and their eyes shining brightly.

You can tell at first glance that they are elite soldiers.

However, there are hundreds of soldiers on this section of the city wall, and the total number of soldiers on all defense lines in the entire city is at least tens of thousands.

The construction and design of defensive rituals must take into account the weakest link, that is, the ability of the weakest person to withstand it.

The representatives nodded in agreement, feeling a little relieved.

"But, I feel like there aren't any weaklings among these tens of thousands of Xinhuo organization warriors. Is this just an illusion?"

The sky seemed even darker.

The voices of the representatives' conversation became lower and lower until no one spoke at all. The entire section of the city wall was silent, and even people's breathing seemed to have dropped to a very low level.

when--

The loud bell rang nine times in a row, spreading to every corner of the city.

The battle for promotion has begun!

Dark clouds came, the whole sky darkened, and the cold wind blew like ghosts howling and wolves howling.

Before the war even began, a desperate and deadly atmosphere filled the air.

The representatives gasped: Is this the disaster that a Level 9 Oasis will face? This is too terrible. The pressure faced at the last moment of being promoted to a Level 7 Oasis was probably not as great as this.

However, the darkness lasted only briefly.

The next moment, golden light spread out, like warm sunshine, dispelling all filth and evil.

"The sun has come out again?"

"Nine, nine suns! There are nine suns hanging in the sky!"

"No, it's not the sun. The sky is still covered with dark clouds, without a single gap. This golden sunlight is some kind of power of Xinhuo, blooming from the tip of the pure white tower in the distance."

Light is not just light, it also contains the power to inspire people.

It also dispelled the palpitations and fear brought by the dark clouds.

The representatives were all very knowledgeable and immediately realized the specialness of the golden glow.

This is a building that targets evil tides and special attacks against negative states.

Do they have a chance to buy this building and technology from the Xinhuo Organization?

They didn't have time to think about it.

The earth was already rumbling and shaking.

At the end of the oasis, a thick wall of gray fog began to wriggle and surge. A ferocious figure emerged from it, howling and rushing towards the burning city.

Then came the second, the third, the thousandth, the ten thousandth…

In the blink of an eye, the gray-black figures that emerged gathered together to form a wriggling black wave, the number of which could not be estimated by the naked eye.

"Is it so exciting at the beginning? I heard that the promotion to the ninth-level oasis will last for two to three days!"

"Not only are there a lot of them, I seem to have discovered the Seven-Star Evil Spirit, oh my god!"

"The Burning City, can it be...can it be stopped, right?"

They have confidence in the Xinhuo organization, but they are really afraid at this moment.

No one can be free from fear.

The evil tide was too fierce, and there might be a thousand or ten thousand terrifying evil spirits that could defeat them in a one-on-one fight. Even if all of their representatives went to meet them, they would be like a small splash of water, submerged in the tide in the blink of an eye.

And this is just the beginning of the calamity of promotion.

If the burning city cannot resist;

If the walls are breached;

They will be wiped out in an instant and won't be able to escape. Who wouldn't be afraid of this?

"But the soldiers guarding the city from the Xinhuo Organization didn't seem to be afraid. They didn't even blink an eye."

Someone who is honest and humane.

The others looked at it and fell silent.

Some sharp-eyed people could vaguely read the eagerness to try from the soldiers' eyes and faces.

...This is definitely an illusion!

The representatives had no time to pay too much attention. They looked at the strange evil tide that was getting closer and closer, bringing a strong sense of oppression. They swallowed their saliva with difficulty, unable to suppress the growing sense of fear in their hearts.

"Xinhuo Organization, are you not ready to take action yet?"

"The distance is still quite far. After all, there is a long distance between the walls of the Burning City and the edge of the oasis."

"It's not far, it's not far. The closer the distance is, the lower the margin of error!"

However, they only dared to discuss it in a low voice.

Xinhuo couldn't possibly change the battle plan because of them. With their level, they couldn't possibly be compared to Xinhuo's tactical experts.

They are just pure fear.

Fortunately, most people are afraid, so it’s not shameful.

The representatives tried hard to suppress their fear, staring into the distance with their eyes wide open.

Finally, the soldiers guarding the city took action.

To be precise, it was the artillery position set up not far away that officially opened fire.

The roar of thunder resounded throughout the world.

The dazzling light burst out from the black waves in the distance, like little suns rising up one after another.

It is so dazzling that it will burn the eyes staring at it.

When the billowing smoke and dust gradually dissipated, what appeared in the eyes of many representatives were regular circular pits, and the fragmented and evil debris inside and outside the pits.

The surging and seemingly unstoppable black wave was bitten off by dozens of pieces at this moment, and became sparse in the blink of an eye.

The power of this strange crystal cannon...

hiss--

The strange crystal cannon is not unique to Xinhuo, it is the most common weapon of war.

Every company, country, and oasis has conducted research and development on the strange crystal cannon.

Some of the strange crystal cannons developed by Super Oasis itself can also emit brilliant light with one shot.

However, no matter how powerful their ghost crystal cannons are and how wide their coverage is, they can only destroy weaker ghosts with one shot.

Amidst the diffuse smoke and energy tide, huge and evil creatures will rush out.

Unlike now, when the light fades, only a few dry bones remain.

Yes, most of the evil corpses had been annihilated in the energy artillery fire and turned into the tiniest dust.

"If I'm not mistaken, just now, a beam of light from a ghost crystal cannon killed a seven-star ghost."

One shot, destroy seven stars!

The representatives couldn't help but grumble again.

Then a frenzy emerged.

"Do we have a chance to buy this kind of strange crystal cannon? If we can place two or three of them outside our own oasis, the safety of the oasis will be greatly improved!"

"Yes, especially now, with strange attacks happening all the time, this strange crystal cannon is even more important."

"I don't think it's possible. This strange crystal cannon is clearly the Xinhuo Organization's trump card."

The delegates were silent.

It is normal for the dominant forces to show their strength in the face of the challenge of promotion to the ninth-level oasis.

At this time, a representative from the neighboring domain spoke up, "This is the M series of Destruction Cannon. Actually... you can buy it in the Burning City."

Other representatives: “???”

Such a powerful weapon can actually be purchased?

The delegates went wild with excitement.

The evil tide continues to surge forward.

The strange crystal cannon also continued to fire.

M series cannons, S series cannons, Z series cannons, cannons of different styles are presented in front of everyone.

There are also many special plant-based defensive weapons.

A huge wall of rattan trees.

Blood-sucking vines.

Pea cannon.

The individual performance of these special plants is not as shocking as the strange crystal cannon, but after counting carefully, the representatives can find that the number of kills by special plants is just as high.

It also blocked and delayed the charge of the evil tide.

After two or three hours, the surging black wave couldn't even touch the city walls and collapsed .

The representatives shook their heads.

From the initial fear, to the daze in the middle, to the fanaticism and numbness now, their faces kept changing and they kept murmuring.

Is this an extremely terrifying calamity of promotion?

Is this the calamity of promotion?

However, looking at the tide of evil spirits coming in with hideous faces and huge bodies, they knew very well that it was not because the evil spirit tide was too weak, but because the defense of the Burning Fire City was too strong and the technology of the Xinhuo Organization was too terrifying.

So far, the soldiers defending the city have not taken any action and are just picking up the loose ends.

"There is an eight-star evil!"

A huge shadow slowly emerged from the wall of fog.

Its tentacles squirmed, crushing each and every huge evil spirit that seemed so tiny in front of this evil spirit wherever it passed.

Knead it into minced meat.

It keeps moving forward, carving out a path of flesh and blood.

The filthy impact it spread, even though it was mostly weakened by the light curtain, still caused some representatives to have hallucinations.

Eight stars, disaster-level evil!

It is a moving disaster!

At this time...

On one side of the city wall, a certain defensive device hummed and emitted a myriad of golden lights.

This was followed by the second, third, and fourth places.
