The First Acraepoid Kingdom.
Simple yet practical Flame Burrows were erected one after another. They seemed to have been built from scratch by the elites of the Acraepoids over the past few decades. They carried the last legacy of the Acraepoids in the Endless World, and defended the last dignity of the Acraepoids in the Endless World.
On top of a three-hundred-meter tall Flame Burrow, Aeschi lay flat on the rooftop, looking up at the blue sky filled with white clouds. His heart was filled with thoughts.
'How is the outside world?'
Ever since he was brought into the First Acraepoid Kingdom, Aeschi had been instilled with the belief that one day, the great Acraepoids would attack the Infernal Spirit Continent and reclaim the Infernal Spirit World.
Decades ago, when the Blood Moon appeared, the Infernal Spirit World was ravaged by a group of terrifying creatures from a foreign world called the Sorcerers. The Sorcerers destroyed the capital cities of the Five Great Empires one after another, occupying the World Core. At the same time, they polluted the entire world with the "Sorcerer's Shadow".
Under the leadership of the First Acraepoid King and the Guardian of the Sea, most of the remaining Acraepoid Nobles and World Guardians of the Infernal Spirit World were gathered. They began to secretly recruit the Acraepoid elites who were struggling for their lives in the First Acraepoid Kingdom as the light of hope.
Aixi would never forget the look in his mother's eyes when they parted from their loved ones.
The resources of the First Acraepoid Kingdom were limited. Not all Acraepoids could enter. Only those who were recognized by the Nobles and World Guardians as possessing the potential of swordsmanship could enter the Infernal Spirit World's last piece of hope, peace, and land that had not been polluted by the Sorcerer's Shadow.
Now, several decades had passed.
Aeschi looked at the busy Acraepoids in the city. Every Acraepoid seemed to be fighting for the hope of tomorrow. Their eyes were filled with the so-called hope.
The people seemed to have forgotten everything about the outside world!
Because the First Acraepoid Kingdom was too peaceful.
The outside world was a disaster zone where evil and powerful sorcerers wreaked havoc. An invisible Space Wall separated the outside world. Inside, all the Acraepoid elites of the Infernal Spirit World lived, building and struggling, forming a complete miniature Infernal Spirit World.
"Aeschi!"
A voice called out from behind. It was Aeschi's childhood sweetheart, Umi. She was also a talented swordsman genius of the Infernal Spirit World. She was also recognized by an Acraepoid Noble as the hope of the Infernal Spirit World, and was brought into the First Acraepoid Kingdom.
There were two swords hanging from his waist. They were the rare dual swords of the Infernal Spirit World, the Flowing Sea Locusts.
Wu Mei walked to Ai Xi's side, her eyes were filled with sadness and indifference, as if she had lost all warmth to the outside world and only had eyes for Ai Xi.
"Saint Lei Tong asked me to summon you to cultivate the Infernal Sword Dao. You haven't appeared for two days."
Aeschi didn't answer his wife's question. Instead, he continued to stare blankly at the clear blue sky and the white clouds drifting about. It was a scene of harmony and beauty, as if he was in a world of tranquility and solemnity, isolated from the outside world.
At any time, Umi would never show her indifference to Aixi.
Creak!
Umi sat down next to Aixi, the sword at her waist making a grinding sound as it came into contact with the platform. Together with Aixi, she looked up at the beautiful blue sky and the white clouds drifting in the sky.
The Infernal Spirit World was truly beautiful …
Finally, the absent-minded Aeschi turned to his wife and asked, "Say … what do you think the world outside of God's Kingdom is like? Is it really as the Thunder Pupil Saint said, that the great Acraepoid race has successfully defended against the sorcerers' invasion and has begun a strategic counterattack? "
"That should be the case."
Umi was extremely intelligent, but she never seemed to have her own opinions when she was with Aixi. Deep in her eyes, there was always a sadness that made people feel pity for her, want to understand her, and care for her.
Creak!
Aixi sat up and swung the sword in his hand at lightning speed. A wave of Infernal Spirit Energy swept across and waves of energy spread out with Aixi as the center.
"It's been thirty years! For thirty years, we've relentlessly cultivated the Infernal Sword Dao, all for the sake of taking back the Infernal Spirit World that belongs to us, to kill those evil, cruel sorcerers, to kill them all! To avenge our fallen loved ones! But now? "
As if a little discouraged, Aixi lowered the sword in his hand.
"Look at those Acraepoids, every single one of them has a look of confidence on their faces, as if they're glad that they were able to enter the First Acraepoid Kingdom. They're enjoying this momentary comfort and have forgotten our original belief, to take back the world that belongs to us outside the Spatial Wall!"
The Spatial Wall was one of the characteristics and rules of the First Acraepoid Kingdom. It could effectively prevent World Lord-level beings from entering the kingdom.
Aixi had dreams and passion, he had the arrogance of youth. He could not tolerate anything, and he would not allow the world to go against his own justice. This was the concept of character that every hero should have before they were tempered.
Umi looked at the hot-blooded Aixi and said softly, "We can only defeat those sorcerers by becoming stronger."
"More powerful, more powerful, more powerful! The Noble Thunder Pupil says this every day. Shouldn't the truly strong Acraepoids grow through constant battles? But look at them, they've forgotten everything that's going on outside. They're just using their strength to allow themselves to enjoy a more comfortable life within the Spatial Wall, watching as the Acraepoids in the outside world get killed by the sorcerers … "
What Aixi said seemed to be the truth of the First Acraepoid Kingdom.
Although the Acraepoid elites who lived here were strong and were known as the last hope of the Acraepoid World, they were only strong on the surface.
Deep down, most of the Acraepoids here had lost the courage to face the powerful and mysterious sorcerers and the endless army of Soul Slaves.
Dong dong dong dong …
The sound of a bell rang. The faces of the Acraepoids changed slightly. Some of them gritted their teeth and kept muttering to themselves, "We won't be chosen, we won't be chosen" as they flew towards the sound of the bell.
"Did you see that?"
Aixi gritted his teeth and roared at Umi, "These cowards, they're not willing to leave the protection of the Spatial Wall to carry out extraterrestrial missions. They're praying that they won't be chosen to carry out the mission!"
"Aixi …"
Umi did not know what to say to calm the righteous and hot-blooded Aixi. All she could do was silently stand guard by his side.
"Parasitizing within this Spatial Wall, defiling the will of the great Acraepoid Soul. Such a deformed and filthy world is not worthy of being called the hope of the Infernal Spirit World!"
Aixi was getting angrier as he spoke. The black flames on top of his head burned fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot, but he was powerless to change anything.
Umi pulled Aixi back.
"Don't say anymore. If someone else hears us, we'll be interrogated. We might even lose the right to continue living in the kingdom."
Aixi shook off Umi's hand.
"Even you're afraid of those sorcerers!?"
Aixi's voice became cold.
"So you're just like them, a coward. Cowards who are secretly happy that they're able to live a peaceful life within the Spatial Wall. You've lost the courage to face the sorcerers!"
Umi did not know what to say after her hand was shaken off. All her wisdom seemed to have lost its effect when it came to Aixi.
Umi could not find any words to quibble with.
Before entering the Divine Kingdom, Umi and Aeschi swore to each other that they would do everything in their power to reclaim the Infernal Spirit World, which had been polluted by the Sorcerer's Shadow. One day, they would reclaim the Infernal Spirit World with their own strength.
However, their anger and hatred were short-lived.
The peace within the Acraepoid Kingdom was like a paradise within the Spatial Wall compared to the chaos caused by the Sorcerer's Shadow. The people continued to build this paradise, and it was getting better and better.
Every Acraepoid here had a high potential for growth.
According to the original plan, if they continued to grow stronger, they should be able to counterattack the sorcerers. However, the reality was the opposite …
The stronger the Acraepoid, the more power they wielded. They built their own safety by constantly sending weaker Acraepoids out of the kingdom to carry out so-called counterattacks. It was meaningless suicide to deal with the rules.
Things did not turn out the way they wanted.
Umi was ashamed of Aixi's righteousness and passion. However, this was the rule of the Acraepoid Kingdom. It was not something that Aixi and Umi could change. They could only adapt.
"Aixi, where are you going?"
Umi shouted. But Aixi was like a teenager who had nowhere to vent his anger. He said coldly, "It's none of your business where I'm going. This filthy world, I'll never …"
Boom!
Just as Aeschi was halfway through his sentence, a thunderous rumble reverberated across the sky.
"Hmm?"
"This is …"
Aixi and Umi looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with confusion.
The Acraepoids on the streets and in the Flame Burrow looked up at the sky.
"What's going on? It's such a sunny day, why is there thunder all of a sudden?"
"Hey hey hey, don't tell me it's the Spatial Wall?"
"Stop joking, how is that possible! This is the Spatial Wall of the Acraepoid Kingdom. No matter how strong those monsters are, they can't break through the Spatial Wall. "
After a brief moment of confusion and discussion among the Acraepoids, other than a few members of the Rapid Response Unit who flew up to the Spatial Wall to deal with the scouting mission, most of the Acraepoids calmed down and continued with their own tasks.
Aeschi was also looking up at the sky, at the strangely large white cloud floating in the deep blue sky, completely ignoring the fog around him.
Behind the blue sky, behind the white cloud, there seemed to be something!
He had to do something to stop the Rapid Response Unit from approaching, and warn the people to get ready!
As if he had gone mad, Aixi suddenly roared, "My house, pick up the weapons! Prepare for battle! Sorcerers, it's the sorcerers! The sorcerers are coming! "
The Acraepoids who saw the flying Acraepoids were momentarily shocked. They distanced themselves from Aixi and continued to fly towards their destination.
The Umi ran over and grabbed Aixi tightly, crying, "Stop shouting, if the law enforcers come …"
Aixi panted, looking at the Acraepoids around him in despair. His pupils trembled, but there was nothing he could do to change anything.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Five Acraepoid law enforcers flew over and looked at Aixi coldly. The leader of the Acraepoids said coldly, "Follow us to the police department. If you resist, kill on the spot!"
Aixi seemed to have lost his soul as he was restrained by two Acraepoid law enforcers.
Just as the few of them were about to fly away, another thunderous boom sounded in the sky. Screams of agony could be heard as the Acraepoids fell from the white cloud.
Thud thud thud thud. Corpses fell to the ground.
Crack!
A pair of pure black energy giant hands were constantly being strangled by the chains of laws, but they did not care about it at all. They slowly opened up a crack in the spatial wall formed by the tightly packed chains of laws, and the black aura of the Abyss surged in through the crack.
Deep in the darkness, a pair of huge eyes peeked through the crack.
