After staying in the icy town for an hour, Victor and the other two students had learned some information about the 'Midgardian World'.
Not much.
Due to the limited manpower and strength, the ice plains town was mainly hidden. It was located at the edge of the world, and there were very few traces of intelligent life.
"Midgard is a world where many races coexist. There are also humans, but not many."
Ji Kaipeng looked at the few pages of information in his hand.
"The ruler of the Midgardian World is the Black Horn Clan, a branch of the Horn Clan …"
During their days in Void City, other than training, the students also began to come into contact with some 'general knowledge of the universe'.
Victor and the other two had some understanding of the Horn Race.
This was a race that valued their horns as their beauty, and they were also spread throughout the universe. In terms of numbers, they were second only to the Human Race, the Spirit Race, and the other former Four Great Races.
However, their quality was much worse. The Horn Race did not even give birth to a Universe Overlord level organization.
"Even so, the Black Horn Clan is still the absolute overlord of the Midgardian World. They cannot be underestimated."
"That's right. Moreover, Midgard is a high-level world. There's a 99.9% chance of Domain-Class champions, or even pinnacle champions. We're no match for them at all."
"Wait, aren't we just investigating the legend of the 'God-expiation Tree'? Why do we have to start a conflict with the Black Horn Clan?"
"Hey, you're right. Why didn't I think of that?"
Since there were humans in Midgard, the trio did not have to disguise themselves too much. They simply put on the common clothing of the world and left the icy plains, heading towards the core of Midgard.
…
Mountain Sea Realm.
Ever since the Big Dao Sect displayed absolute power and destroyed the Dark Capital and other top forces that were filled with hostility, the entire continent and the Endless Ocean outside the continent basically respected the Big Dao Sect and the human race.
At least on the surface.
Now, even though they were just ordinary people, their identity as humans allowed them to receive preferential treatment in many alien cities.
A few years had passed since that battle. Most ordinary people and Awakened ones had already forgotten the might of the Big Dao Sect that covered half the continent that day.
However, the upper echelons of the various forces would never forget it.
Thus, although the various major powers did some small things in secret, they did not dare to go overboard. The Mountain Sea Realm also entered a rare period of peace, and cities were gradually built in some areas where the terrain had changed due to the battles.
Southeast of the mainland, adjacent to the Heavenly Moat Mountain Range.
There was a small country called Nanze Country.
This place was far from the continent's core. It was much more remote than the Great Chang dynasty where Tang Yu had once stayed for a period of time.
The Genesis Qi concentration was thin, and there were only a few scattered low grade Genesis crystal mines in the surrounding area.
The development of the entire South Pool Kingdom was lagging behind. Be it runic technology or the number of experts, they were far inferior to the Great Chang dynasty. However, it was also because Nanze Country was located in a remote corner that there were no intelligent tribes around it. Apart from the occasional weak beasts that would charge out from one of the branches in the southern Heavenly Moat Mountain Range, there were no other threats.
Over the past few centuries, Nanze Country had lived in peace and contentment. Its population had multiplied by several times, and the size of the country had also expanded by quite a bit. However, it was still an ordinary small country.
A High Awakened was a master who could walk with the wind.
Essence Water Town was a small town with unique characteristics located in the south of Nanze Country. As it was close to a branch of the Heavenly Moat Mountain Range and had official roads that led directly to the surrounding cities, Essence Water Town had always been very prosperous.
Martial artists with swords and sabers could be seen everywhere.
From time to time, experts could be seen leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls, disappearing in a few leaps.
"Is that a body sculpting expert?"
"Heh, a body sculpting expert is nothing. Didn't you hear that a youth at the Origin Condensation realm recently appeared in our Essence Water Town?"
"Ah? There's actually such a genius! "
The storyteller in the tavern recounted what he had seen and heard. When he mentioned the young genius, some people exclaimed. However, many warriors from the surrounding cities revealed looks of disdain.
Was it possible?
A mere teenager had cultivated to the High Awakened realm?
Even the descendants of large family clans in large cities could not do it!
That was already a top-notch expert in the pugilistic world. Every Origin Condensation realm expert was famous.
A brat who was still wet behind the ears? To be able to reach the Fifth Stage of Awakening and step into the ranks of a third-rate expert was already a genius among the younger generation.
The knowledgeable warriors were disdainful, but they did not retort. There was no need for them to take it seriously with ordinary people.
After all, what did ordinary people know?
At that moment, in a spacious independent courtyard at the back of the tavern.
The youth sat cross-legged on a straw mat, cultivating.
After a long time, he opened his eyes like an awakened lion. However, his intimidating aura was instantly restrained. Except for his slightly mature face, he was not much different from other teenagers.
"Cultivation after reaching the Origin Condensation realm is too slow."
The youth Su Bing frowned. "According to the current speed, it will take me at least a year to break through to the Eleventh Stage of Awakening. Maybe five or six years, or even seven or eight years to reach the Peak of the Awakening realm. Whether I can reach the legendary Void Treading realm is even more unknown … How can it be so slow?"
Su Bing's parents were not weak hunters. According to the pugilistic world's classification, they were second-rate.
However, when he was still a child, his parents died because of an accident, leaving behind a young and unawakened Su Bing.
Later.
In order to survive and to find out the cause of his parents' death, Su Bing became a professional hunter, specializing in hunting exotic beasts near the mountains or ordinary animals with a little exotic beast bloodline and selling them to the local tavern.
One time, he was unlucky. He was chased by an exotic beast and fell off a cliff. However, he accidentally found a rotten corpse on the finger of the corpse …
Su Bing's gaze moved down and touched the inconspicuous silver ring on his finger.
"I didn't expect space rings to really exist in this world."
This space ring was very small, less than a cubic meter, but it still contained a few books, some herbs, and some minerals.
Among them, there was a cultivation method called "Great Sun Cultivation Method (First Part)."
Su Bing knew that he could become a genius in the eyes of outsiders, but … it was because he had cultivated a more advanced cultivation method.
"But according to the records of cultivation, after breaking through to the Origin Condensation realm, I can sense the Genesis Qi of heaven and earth more clearly. My cultivation speed shouldn't be much slower, but …"
Su Bing closed his eyes again. In his perception, there were only a few scattered Genesis Qi particles between heaven and earth.
Something was wrong.
"As expected, it's my own talent that is too poor …"
"It's also recorded that many geniuses only took a few years to cultivate to the Peak, but they were stuck at the bottleneck, unable to break through until they died of old age … If it were me, I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to break through to the Void Treading realm."
"However, Nanze Country is not the center of the world, but the border. If I can go to the center of the world, to the Great Dao City that the deceased senior yearned for, there will be hope for me to break through to the Void Treading realm."
"Even if it's just to go to a second-class city."
"But how to leave Nanze Country, where should I go …"
Su Bing had no idea.
He was now an advanced awakened, and the information he knew was not much less than that of a warrior's family. But as far as he knew, other than the Heavenly Moat Mountain Range in the south, which became more and more dangerous the further one went, the other directions were all barren lands.
"Do I have to go south and cross the Heavenly Moat Mountain Range to find other countries?"
Su Bing felt that was how it was written in novels.
"But with my strength, it's almost impossible to cross the Heavenly Moat Mountain Range. Now is not the time to risk my life."
He pondered.
Suddenly.
The ground shook slightly. It was not much, but he was keenly aware of it.
"Earthquake? No, wait, it seems a little chaotic outside? "
Su Bing suddenly stood up, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Without hesitation, he picked up the saber beside him, opened the door, and rushed to the roof.
He looked up. In the distance of the town, the sky was filled with red mist, full of ominous.
The feeling of oppression was even stronger.
After hesitating for a while, Su Bing leaped from roof to roof, and soon arrived at the border of Essence Water Town.
Essence Water Town had the word "water" in its name because there was a lake near the town, called Essence Water Lake, which provided the town with a lot of fresh fish.
But at this moment, the surface of the Prime Water Lake, which was originally blue and boundless, suddenly caved in, as if a hole had appeared in the middle of the lake. The lake water poured down like a waterfall, and the surface of the Prime Water Lake was visibly lowering.
"What's happening? The ground caved in? "
There were already warriors moving quickly, and they were approaching the Essence Water Lake.
There were even warriors who were originally at the edge of the Essence Water Lake, and they were carefully wading in the water, as if they wanted to reach the center of the lake.
Su Bing's ears twitched, and he heard many old warriors talking in low voices.
They thought that some kind of relic had appeared.
It was rumored that the royal family of Nanze Country had excavated a certain relic, and that was how they built Nanze Country.
The warriors became even more frantic.
Su Bing did not approach. He looked at the red mist above the Essence Water Lake. At this moment, the mist was gradually thickening, and the ominous feeling in his heart also became stronger.
The Essence Water Lake was gradually drying up, and there were only some small puddles and water stains left. In the middle of the lake, there was a huge crack that could be seen with the naked eye, like an abyss.
Some warriors were already close to the crack.
Suddenly.
A gray shadow pounced out from the huge crack, and one after another, it pounced toward the nearest warriors.
Su Bing saw a warrior immediately draw his sword and slashed, but he only saw the gray shadow flash, and the warrior flew backward. His chest was drenched in blood, and his breath was weak. It seemed that he would not survive.
"Is it a beast?"
Many warriors could not see the gray shadow clearly, but Su Bing could.
It was a giant gray wolf with rotting fur. It was about two to three meters tall, and its pupils were scarlet red. It was incomparably ferocious.
The warriors near the Essence Water Lake were scared silly, and they turned to flee. But these Giant Rotten Wolves were faster, and they were stronger. In the blink of an eye, they had pounced on and killed many warriors.
Even the so-called third-rate warriors in the Jianghu had almost no power to resist the Giant Rotten Wolves.
"Each wolf's strength is at least at the Sixth Awakening Stage. Even if I face more than five of them, there will be a certain degree of danger."
Su Bing did not hesitate and turned to retreat.
As he was running away, he caught a glimpse of more and more monsters pouring out of the chasm from the corner of his eye.
Red creatures with six feet, big gray birds with four wings on their backs …
Without exception, they all had a ferocious appearance, scarlet eyes, and … … powerful strength.
What the hell is this monster?!
At this time, the Essence Water Town was in chaos. Su Bing had no relatives or friends in the town. He just informed the tavern owner and fled to the north.
This escape lasted for a day and a night.
Su Bing was travel-worn. After killing a flying monster with one slash, he jumped to the top of a tree and looked into the distance. A giant city with tall city walls had already appeared in his field of vision.
Nanze Capital City.
The capital was under martial law at this time, and soldiers with solemn faces could be seen everywhere on the city walls.
There were also many refugees who were fleeing outside the capital.
Su Bing was a warrior, and he released a trace of not weak aura, so he was quickly allowed to enter the city.
He inquired about some news, and his face became more and more solemn.
"The southern part of the Nanze Country has completely fallen."
"Those monsters are bloodthirsty, violent, and kill anyone they see. It's said that it's hard to see living people in the south. Almost no one survived in the southernmost cities!"
Su Bing didn't think the news was exaggerated.
He came from the southernmost side and ran all the way. Even so, he encountered a flying monster once. Other hunters who were not as strong as him had a very small chance of escaping.
Soon.
As a warrior, Su Bing was recruited to join the city guard.
In just less than half a day, an overwhelming tide of monsters came straight to the capital.
There were countless flying in the sky and running on the ground.
The Nanze Country did have some foundation.
At the critical moment of the country's survival, there were two white-haired old men in the capital city, stepping on the void.
The city's protection array also began to operate.
Hundreds of thousands of warriors guarding the city wall stood guard.
But they only defended for a few hours before the city was breached.
Su Bing saw a monster over a hundred meters tall trampling the city wall.
He also saw the two national protectors step on the void and fall from the sky.
He followed the surging crowd and fled further north.
In the beginning, the capital city was not surrounded by the monster tide. Many warriors jumped and fled to the north.
But gradually, fewer and fewer people could keep up with his speed.
Some were not strong enough and gradually fell behind.
Some were killed by the monsters that caught up.
Su Bing fled to the northernmost part of the Nanze Country and continued to flee into the wilderness. Even if there was a majestic fortress in the north, many refugees did not think that it could stop the terrifying monster tide.
"Huff ~ huff!"
On the barren land, Su Bing panted heavily.
His spirit was tense, and he was on the verge of collapse.
His physical strength was almost at its limit. He only relied on his willpower and ran like a machine.
His source energy was exhausted three times. If it weren't for the source energy potion left by the senior in his storage ring, he would have been killed by the monsters.
Su Bing was already alone after fleeing until now.
He didn't know how far he had fled, how many days he had fled, and where he could escape to.
Only his survival instinct drove him to keep running.
Those monsters seemed to be able to track his aura. Every once in a while, they would catch up again.
Several flying monsters appeared in the sky. Su Bing's face was filled with despair.
He no longer had the strength to swing his machete.
After fleeing for so long, he still couldn't see the world outside the Nanze Country. The last trace of willpower that supported him gradually faded away.
Several flying monsters swooped down.
Su Bing shakily raised the machete that had a few cracks on it, ready to make a last stand.
Suddenly …
A voice came from the sky.
"Huh, there's someone in this broken place? Wait … isn't that a demonic beast?! "
The voice in the sky seemed to burst out some kind of foul language.
In the next moment …
Accompanied by a harsh whooshing sound, the flying monsters that were not weak at all were dismembered in the air.
