Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Jizhou Army, which seemed to cover the sky and earth, surrounded and attacked from the four city gates. The weakest in the army had a third-grade bloodline. In the county-level Demon Suppression Division, they could be the main force to deal with the demons. Here, they could only be cannon fodder.
However, these third-grade bloodline practitioners were extremely crazy. This was because in the Jizhou Army, military merit rewards were extremely huge. Not only could they obtain resources like cultivation in the fields, but they could also obtain Blood Beads. Compared to any resources, Blood Beads were undoubtedly the most precious, and there were no side effects at all. No matter how low one’s talent was, they could rely on Blood Beads to enter the Star Rank.
If they wanted to obtain the Blood Bead, they could only obtain military merits. Therefore, every soldier in the Jizhou Army yearned to make contributions. Regardless of whether they were third grade bloodline cultivators or those who had already broken through to the Star Rank, they were all like this. They charged towards the city wall without any regard for their lives.
“Damn it, these lunatics!”
“If this continues, we won’t be able to defend at all!”
“We have to defend even if we can’t!”
On the city wall, the royal family and the remaining army struggled to hold on. The royal family was fine. After all, once the country was destroyed, their outcome would be very miserable. However, the army was different. They did not want to die with the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was easy to defend the mountains and rivers, but difficult to defend the hearts of people. At the end of the dynasty, there was no human heart to speak of.
Although Ancestor Ji had long thought of this and placed the imperial family’s elites at the main city gate while the other troops guarded the back, the great families in the Imperial Capital were all thinking about ways to contact the Jizhou Army outside. They were even willing to secretly destroy the security of the patrols in the city.
They only guarded for half a month before the Star Platform experts of the clans had no choice but to step forward to suppress these aristocratic families. However, this was only drinking poison to quench their thirst. As the pressure of the city wall and the Jizhou Army’s attack gradually increased, the imperial elites gradually could not hold on.
They had no choice. The royal family could only send a Star Palace cultivator to take action. However, there were also many Star Palace experts on the Jizhou Army’s side as well.
Seeing that the Imperial City was about to die, Ancestor Ji, who was sitting cross-legged in the depths of the palace, frowned. He had long known about the Blood Bead and had even studied it carefully, but there was no result. Clearly, this precious resource was created by that young sect master and no one else could obtain it.
“Ancestor, what should we do? According to this situation, the Imperial Capital can only hold on for another half a month!”
Initially, they thought that with the royal family’s foundation and strength, it would be easy to hold on for ten years. However, it had only been a month, and they were about to lose.
Ancestor Ji pondered for a moment before standing up. “Currently, we can only find that Sect Master Shen. No matter what, we have to hold on for ten years.” With that, his figure disappeared.
Shen Ping and Ancestor Ji appeared at the place where they had fought previously.
“Sect Master Shen, can you give me another ten years of the Great Xia Dynasty? If you’re willing, this old man can agree to all conditions, including my Ji Family’s thousands of years of accumulation. With these things, your Shen Family can save a thousand years, and in the future, you can continuously nurture Star Platform experts.” Ancestor Ji said sincerely.
It had to be said that this condition was indeed very tempting. It had to be known that Shen Ping’s foundation in this world was very shallow. In the future, when he established the country, without his nurturing, his descendants would not be comparable to the Ji Family or even the aristocratic families in the state capital.
Especially since he had to enter the Black Abyss, this meant that he could not take care of his juniors for too long.
It was a pity. What Ancestor Ji did not know was that Shen Ping did not care about any junior at all.
Shen Ping did not say anything. Instead, he raised his hand and pressed down. The surging lightning domain pressed down like the sky.
He felt the deep pressure. Ancestor Ji’s pupils suddenly constricted. This wasn’t the pressure of the second level of the Star Platform at all. Even those at the emperor level didn’t have such pressure.
“Y-You’ve actually stepped into the Divine Realm… As expected of the most monstrous prodigy in tens of thousands of years.”
He could not help but exclaim. Since the ancient era, no one had been able to enter the Divine Realm outside the Black Abyss. He did not expect this peerless genius to do it.
Ancestor Ji did not say anything else about the conditions. Instead, he looked at Shen Ping and slowly said, “Sect Master Shen, if you have any requests, feel free to ask. Since you followed this old man here, you should be open for negotiation.”
Shen Ping said calmly, “I just want to know why you left the Black Abyss.”
Ancestor Ji shook his head. “I can’t say these things. With the restrictions of the rules of the Black Abyss, I can only tell you that be it me or the Demon Emperor Black Dragon, it’s all for the matter of the bloodline origin. And this matter is related to the fate of the world’s territories. It was deduced by an ancient senior of the Black Abyss that it will appear in this era.”
Shen Ping understood. It was indeed the origin blood.
“The source of the bloodline concerns all the bloodline cultivators in the world. If we can find it, it will be very beneficial to Sect Master Shen.”
Seeing that Shen Ping did not reply, Ancestor Ji continued, “Actually, this old man previously guessed that Sect Master Shen should have the source of bloodline. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to reach this level in such a short period of time. Since you have stepped into the Divine Realm, the Demon Emperor Black Dragon and that sea demon must have guessed the same. Even if Sect Master Shen kills the three of us, it will be useless.
“Because once the three of us can’t return, the Divine Realm experts in the Black Abyss will definitely know that a peerless expert was born outside the Black Abyss, and that this expert must be related to the source of the bloodline..”
