"The Fallen Immortals are coming soon?"
In the darkness, Black's words were earth-shattering. Luo Xiao's primordial spirit trembled and was extremely shocked. He repeated the sentence to make sure that he didn't hear it wrong. As a result, he only heard Black's disdainful laughter.
"Heh."
"…"
After the shock, Luo Xiao began to think about the meaning behind this sentence, but he didn't know where to sort it out. After a long silence, Luo Xiao finally couldn't calm down and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
Of course, he had a reason to ask why. He had worked hard and sacrificed everything he had to finally break the nail in Black. He thought that he had made a great contribution and greatly slowed down the progress of the arrival of the Fallen Immortals. Who knew that in exchange for such a sentence from Black?
The Fallen Immortals were coming soon? Why?
The early arrangement of the Fallen Immortals in the City of Immortals was basically broken. The Mind Disorientation Powder was solved, the Vortex of the Fallen was destroyed, and Black was trapped here. They were already at their wits' end, so why could they come to Nine Regions soon?
"Because I failed, of course, they will come in person."
Black said lightly, but every word he said was like a heavy hammer that hit Luo Xiao's heart.
"… You failed, so they will come in person?"
Black sneered and said, "What else? What do you think will happen? After I, the strongest chess piece, have been knocked out, the Fallen Immortals have no choice. Either they come in person, or they give up their plan to come here and let you, a group of ants, celebrate. Which one do you think they will choose? "
Luo Xiao was tongue-tied. His body could not help but shake, and his mouth was full of bitterness.
He wanted to point at Black's nose and scold him for talking nonsense and absurdity, but every word of Black's was so logical that it was completely impossible to refute.
Yes, since all the chess pieces in his hand were wasted, of course, the chess player could only go to the battlefield in person. Why didn't he think of such a simple truth before?
Thinking of this, Luo Xiao's thoughts became more and more chaotic. He had thought that this would be an unparalleled achievement, enough to support him to suppress Wang Lu, but he did not expect that it would cause such a great disaster.
Perhaps the reason why Wang Lu didn't kill Black wasn't because he didn't have a way, but because he had already seen through this, so he would rather use a more gentle method to stall for time? Just like what he did at the opening ceremony of the Grand Competition...
As for him, he, who fancied himself clever, had dragged the entire Nine Regions into the abyss!
The more he thought about it, the colder Luo Xiao felt his entire body go cold. His heart seemed as if it was struck by a sledgehammer, and it painfully constricted. The glow of his Soul Core flickered, and it displayed that his mental state was already extremely unstable.
However, just before he collapsed, a fire snake swept over and swept away his chaotic thoughts. What replaced it was a vigorous fighting spirit.
"Damn it, so what if the Fallen Immortals come? If they can come here without the guidance of the chess pieces from the lower realm, then the Fallen Immortals will come sooner or later. The result will be the same whether I do it or not. No, cutting off their chess pieces will disrupt their rhythm in any case … Perhaps they can come ahead of time, but it's better to do it in a hurry than to wait for them to come after they're ready. Yes, if they can come to Nine Regions at will, why would they need to support their chess pieces? Wouldn't it be better to do it themselves? There must be great obstacles in the passage between the two realms, which will lead to various restrictions when they come. In that case, I don't need to feel guilty at all, because I didn't do anything wrong! "
"So what if the Fallen Immortals come ahead of time? I can subdue Black, so I can subdue the Fallen Immortals! Ha, if I can subdue a Fallen Immortal dog, let alone Wang Lu, even if it's Hetu Daoren, so what? Yes, the next target is that Fallen Immortal who doesn't have eyes! "
Thinking of this, the flames in Luo Xiao's eyes almost gushed out.
In this regard, Black smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you haven't been scared to death."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao's heart suddenly turned cold.
"You've said so much to me, but what you've done seems to be a bit beyond your duty, right?"
Black said, "So, let me ask you one last time, are you ready for your God of War Blood?"
Luo Xiao was stunned, and then burst into a crazy laughter.

"Wang Lu, what are you going to do next?"
"Yes, what should I do next?"
Wang Lu sighed and drove the giant Divine Weapon to sit down on the top of the mountain, which made a slight vibration.
A few months ago, this was completely impossible to do. Once the thousand-feet-tall giant sat down, no mountain could bear its weight. The mountains collapsed, the earth split, and it was a scene of destruction.
However, after a few months, there was no longer that giant in the Thunder Reservoir Realm. Now, sitting on the top of the mountain was a giant puppet that was two hundred feet long. Although it was still huge and burly compared to the child-faced woman beside the puppet, it was no longer that bulky appearance that made it hard for the world to contain it.
This was, of course, thanks to the improvement of the synchronization rate. When the synchronization rate reached 20%, Wang Lu could finally fully control this powerful puppet and freely use most of its functions and magical abilities, including the enlargement and shrinkage of the puppet.
The thousand-feet-tall giant was only the original form. With the adjustment of the internal structure and the activation of the array, the giant Divine Weapon could be extended by another hundred times, becoming a terrible war machine comparable to the size of Jiesaurus. It could also shrink by a hundred times, becoming the size of a normal person. Of course, this step was not yet possible for Wang Lu.
The giant Divine Weapon that Sun Buping built for ten thousand years contained trillions of small metal cubes, each of which was engraved with tens of thousands of glyphs. It was not easy to compress such a huge basic structure as a whole. On the other hand, if it could be done, it meant that Wang Lu had an incredibly powerful war machine. To compress the power of the thousand-feet-tall giant into one meter, the combination of agility and explosive power was probably enough to surpass any cultivator in Nine Regions.
However, to do that, the synchronization rate must at least exceed 40%. Judging from the current progress, although it could not be said to be far away, there was still a long way to go.
Thinking about the road in the future, Wang Lu drove the giant Divine Weapon and was silent on the top of the mountain.
Tetragon, who was beside him, asked, "In three days, Thunder Reservoir will fall apart. At that time, it is likely that we will be intercepted by Black as soon as we go out. Are you ready to fight now?"
"I can fight at any time … But, I don't think he will come. That guy has been lurking around you and Sun Buping for so long, so he should have this little bit of cleverness. He can't stop Sun Buping from choosing his successor, so he should have guessed what kind of opponent he will face when we meet again. "
Tetragon somewhat regretfully said, "Yes, if it weren't for my injury, I would not lose to him alone."
Previously, she was seriously injured by Black in Thunder Reservoir, which had always been a stain on Tetragon's mind. The opponent was obviously far inferior to her in strength, but he took advantage of her carelessness and caused her serious injury that could not be healed for several years.
"Since he won't come here, will there be any problems in the City of Immortals?"
"Don't worry, since that guy Wang Wu has followed him, there will be no problem."
"You do trust her."
"In her opinion, at least half of the property in the entire City of Immortals should belong to her. How could she allow a mere lackey of the Fallen Immortal to destroy all of this? Believe me, when it comes to protecting wealth, she is basically invincible. "
"…"
"But, I have a hunch." Wang Lu said and drove the giant Divine Weapon to stand up. The hundreds of millions of cubes on its body rotated at the same time and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and release the immortal spirit.
"What hunch?"
"When we go out this time, I'm afraid we will meet a stronger opponent than Black. Think about it, as a chess piece in the hands of the Fallen Immortals, Black's most important task should be to prevent the resurrection of Sun Buping. But now he has failed on the verge of success. As a chess piece, he has no value. "
Tetragon didn't respond. "So what?"
"That means that either the Fallen Immortals change to a more powerful chess piece, or … it's time for those chess players to play in person."
"Impossible!" Tetragon said decisively, "At that time, we desperately closed the passage between the two worlds. It's not so easy to open it!"
"But in fact, that passage has been opened a long time ago." Wang Lu was a little surprised and said, "Didn't I tell you the story of the golden generation of Lingjian School?"
"Yes, you did, but …" Tetragon shook his head and said, "I don't think it's really the Fallen Immortals. You haven't seen the real Fallen Immortals, so you don't understand how powerful the other party is. If it's really the Fallen Immortals, it's impossible for your golden generation to survive. With the current power of Nine Regions, any Fallen Immortal can sweep the continent and be invincible. "
Wang Lu didn't bother to explain to her how many things happened that year and said, "Think whatever you want."
"However, even if it's not the real Fallen Immortal, it's at least an exceptionally powerful chess piece. For them to be able to lay such a chess piece in Nine Regions, it seems that the passage between the two worlds is indeed in jeopardy. " Tetragon said and then stood up, "After I go out, I'm going to find time to patrol for nine weeks and reinforce the seal."
"… Alright, after we go out, if there's a chance, I'll try to reinforce the seal first, although I doubt that it's meaningful to do so."
—
Three days later, the magical ability of Momentary Youth disappeared, and the distorted time and space backtracked, which instantly crushed the entire Thunder Reservoir Realm. Wang Lu and Tetragon left the Thunder Reservoir Realm smoothly through the gap of time and space and came to the vast sea of stars.
The starlight around them was still the same. It seemed that there was no change from three years ago — in fact, of course not. They had been in the Thunder Reservoir Realm for three years, but only three days had passed in the outside world.
Three days was not enough to change too many things, but it was enough for Nine Regions to welcome an uninvited guest.
In the bitter cold land of the far north, a shadow quietly descended.
"Useless waste, I actually have to do it myself."
