Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 556 Gathering Place

The spatial rift caused spatial turbulence, leading to a large-scale spatial collapse. Centered on the fat old man, the collapse spread to a radius of one kilometer and lasted for three or four minutes before stopping.

As the distorted and shattered space gradually returned to its original state, only a huge crater and a mess remained.

A few drops of blood on the ground testified to the bloodshed and existence of the battle; apart from that, there wasn't even a piece of flesh or a scrap of cloth.

In this spatial storm, everything, including the smell of blood, was swallowed up.

Xie Yixiao and the other two looked at the huge pit with complicated expressions.

In the sky, the giant purple eagle flapped its wings, reaching a height of four or five hundred meters above the ground, and even so, it continued to rise.

The bald man inside the soul had a solemn expression, with suppressed anger and fear in his eyes.

A seven-on-three battle, a relatively easy encirclement and kill, was ruined because of a single champion.

His six ninth-rank subordinates were instantly swallowed up by the spatial turbulence.

Any defense or barrier appears so fragile under the influence of spatial turbulence.

When the fat old man appeared, the bald man guessed that the other party should be a king, and even if he was a mid-level king, he would not be surprised.

If you don't have some strength, how dare you easily intervene in this battle?

Even a king would find it difficult to gain the upper hand when facing six ninth-rank experts at the same time.

What's more, he was an elderly man.

He never expected that the old man would self-destruct!
It's even more unimaginable that the old man planned to self-destruct from the very beginning.

And immediately exposed himself.

If he hadn't seen Xie Yixiao and the other two escape, or rather, if the old man hadn't given them time to escape, he probably would have been swallowed up by the spatial turbulence.

Even if he were a king, not even an emperor, he couldn't withstand it. At most, he could only hold out a little longer, but the outcome would be the same.

This is probably why no emperor dares to easily enter the Land of Fallen Gods.

"Boom."

Just as the bald man was still shaken, another violent roar rang out. He turned around abruptly and looked northwest. The explosion was not far from him. He could clearly see the distorted, semi-transparent circular spatial turbulence in the air. The strong shock wave made his robes flutter loudly.

"madman!"

The bald man cursed viciously.

This is clearly another example of a top player self-destructing.

Faced with the human king's tendency to self-destruct at will, the bald man began to feel terrified.

The land where gods fell is their territory.

They have an absolute advantage here.

In recent days, he has also hunted down many humans.

But from this moment on, the hunting game ended.

Two consecutive self-destructions by top players made him realize that the game had ended prematurely.

The human king forced them to stop hunting by self-destructing.

Even leaving the land where the gods fell.

They seem to have no way to fight back.

When he saw an old man flapping his spiritual wings and flying rapidly toward him, the bald man's expression changed instantly. He quickly activated the giant eagle's life soul, flapped his wings, and flew away into the distance.

He doesn't want to die!
He also couldn't understand why the human king would be willing to sacrifice himself.

"Running pretty fast."

Zhang Dongguang watched the giant eagle disappear and said with a smile. A moment later, he flapped his spiritual wings and flew downwards.

Behind him followed an old man.

The two slowly walked to the spot where their old friend had self-destructed.

The location is easy to find; it's in the center of the pit, which is over twenty meters in diameter and five meters deep.

"There's no fat in it!"

Standing at the edge of the pit, Zhang Dongguang surveyed the bottom of the pit and said with a smile.

There was nothing inside the pit; the soil and rocks were charred black.

"Haha."

Another old man laughed out loud, but his eyes were already red and his voice trembled slightly: "Perhaps it has already evaporated."

Xie Yixiao and the other two arrived at the edge of the pit. They remained silent, unsure of what to say, and could only bow to express their respect and gratitude to their saviors.

Why did he self-destruct?

Xie Yixiao hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking a question.

This is the answer he wants to know.

Why would a stranger risk his life to save them?
The fat old man who self-destructed was a King. If we're not guessing, the two old men in front of us are also Kings. With the help of three Kings, they could easily repel the enemy, or even kill one or two of them. There was absolutely no need for them to self-destruct.

"He had lived for over a hundred years and had long enough of life. Seeing how rampant these superhumans were, he self-destructed."

Zhang Dongguang said calmly.

He knew Xie Yixiao; how could he not know one of the top ten All-Stars of Glory? He didn't explain their mission to enter the Land of Fallen Gods, not wanting to put pressure on these geniuses.

This was something they did voluntarily, and there's no need to make them feel guilty.

In the old friend's opinion, exchanging one for seven was a very good deal.

After all, with his disabled and aged body, it would be almost impossible for him to hunt down a king of the superhumans.

Let alone a king of supernatural beings, even a ninth-rank supernatural being would find it very difficult.

It is only possible to do this in the land where gods have fallen.

It's a pity that the strongest player in the game escaped.

"Explosions are art!"

Another old man sighed.

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and burst into laughter: "Now I finally understand why Lin Feng likes to self-destruct so much."

Xie Yixiao remained silent.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, he could already guess the purpose of these elderly kings entering the Land of Fallen Gods.

As for Lin Feng, he doesn't harbor much resentment anymore.

That conflict is utterly insignificant in the face of life and the extraordinary.

"There are advantages to self-destruction: no remains are left, so there's no need to find a burial site."

As he spoke, Zhang Dongguang took the watch off his wrist and threw it into the pit.

Another old man took off his bracelet and threw it into the pit as well.

There was no special ceremony or significance; it was just something to remember the memory of.

"He's gone." Zhang Dongguang took one last look at the traces left by his old buddy, suppressed his sadness, and said to Xie Yixiao and the other two.

"Where to?" Chen Junhao asked.

Zhang Dongguang pointed southeast: "Go to the meeting point, which is in the center of the Land of Fallen Gods, not far from the temple. If all goes well, we'll get there in a day."

The three of them didn't ask any more questions and silently followed behind the two old men.

At this point, they had already exited their demonic transformation state, so they no longer needed to be constantly vigilant about their surroundings or worry about being attacked by supernatural beings.

Because they knew that no other superhuman would dare to attack them again.

On their way to the meeting place, they encountered many supernatural beings, but this time, none of them dared to approach, let alone attack.

In just two hours, Xie Yixiao heard four explosions and saw eleven huge craters on the road, which meant that another eleven Kings had chosen to self-destruct.

On the way, they also encountered five contestants, including three students and two helpers, and the five of them joined the team.

With more self-destructing kings, the number of extraordinary individuals encountered on the road decreases.

Sometimes you can't see a single one for an hour or two.

"Even the extraordinary ones are terrified."

Zhang Dongguang laughed and said, "It's a pity. I didn't get a chance to show off along the way. Just when I was about to make a move, those bastards ran away. The rare opportunity was snatched away by Fatty. It's laughable that Fatty only dragged six ninth-rank people down with him. He might as well have dragged down a King of the Otherworld. If I had the chance, I would definitely have been able to hold off that bald guy."

Another old man shook his head helplessly, unable to bear his old friend's nagging.

"We'll still have a chance once we get them to the temple."

“That’s true, we need to find a young, exceptional individual to make it worthwhile,” Zhang Dongguang said.

Before nightfall, they did not continue their journey, but instead found an empty house to stay in.

No one slept that night, and the night was peaceful with no surprise attacks from any supernatural beings.

Even the ghostly shadows that occasionally flashed past the window dared not enter the house.

The next day, in the afternoon, they arrived at the meeting point without incident.

The assembly point looked like a makeshift base with only four buildings, one of which had a medical sign.

By this time, thousands of people had gathered at the assembly point. People of different skin colors and nationalities were all gathered together, and the scene was somewhat noisy.

Around the assembly point, an elderly man stood every two or three hundred meters, representing various countries; conservatively estimated, there were three or four hundred of them.

They protect the safety of the participants and are the guarantee that this gathering place can exist stably.

"Alright, we've arrived at the assembly point. I wish you all the best in becoming kings."

Zhang Dongguang addressed the three of them.

The person has been delivered, and their mission is complete.

"Thank you."

Xie Yixiao quickly thanked him, and was about to say something when Zhang Dongguang waved and turned to leave. For some reason, their backs seemed somewhat lonely and desolate in Xie Yixiao's eyes at that moment.

About 100 meters from the meeting point, three men in uniforms approached them, asked about their identities, and verified their information before allowing them to enter.

"Brother Hao."

"Junhao".

"How was the journey? Was it smooth sailing?"

As they entered the meeting point, Chen Junhao was greeted by many people along the way.

Chen Junhao smiled and waved his hand: "We've finally arrived."

"Yes, we've finally arrived."

Zhao Zhou also sighed.

The plan to become king hasn't even really started yet, and the casualties from just one gathering mission are already so heavy. Hopefully, things will go more smoothly from here on out.

"Brother Hao!"

Someone shouted loudly, their voice trembling with excitement.

Chen Junhao looked over and found that they were his original teammates, but the original team of six people now only had four.

"Zhang Li and the others?"

Chen Junhao frowned slightly.

No one answered.

"Hey."

Chen Junhao sighed softly, then looked at one of the young men: "How long have you been here? What's the situation now?"

The young man, named Sha Yuda, said with some helplessness, "I don't know. We arrived two days ago, but no tasks have been issued in the past two days. We've just been waiting."

"There are still three days until the assembly deadline, so we should wait until everyone arrives before we start."

Another young man said.

As he spoke, he said with envy, "Lin Feng's team hasn't arrived yet either. They captured a flying dragon horse at the Star Sea Space Gate, and each of them has one."

"Flying Dragon Steed?"

Chen Junhao and Zhao Zhou looked surprised and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

There's no one who wouldn't be tempted by such a mount.

"How did they capture it? Aren't wyverns extremely proud? How did they tame it?"

Zhao Zhou asked a series of questions.

The thought of Yun Tianqi owning a flying dragon steed made him very unhappy.

With the Flying Dragon Steed, that guy will probably be even more difficult to deal with.

"I heard they caught a baby ginseng and used it to lure the flying dragon horse out. As for how they tamed it, I don't know."

Sha Yuda said.

He began to explain to Chen Junhao and the others the route Lin Feng's team had taken and their achievements.

These are no secrets; everyone in the gathering place knows them.

After touring various treasure troves, Lin Feng's team's strength has likely improved considerably.

Although he didn't quite like them, Chen Junhao had to admire their courage and strength.

They were relentlessly pursued before entering the Land of Fallen Gods.

Entering the Land of Fallen Gods also meant being hunted down.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng's team is wreaking havoc on the precious lands of the Divine Martial Continent, and the Extraordinary Ones are powerless to stop it.

The envy is real, and so is the admiration.

They didn't originally consider the Avengers as opponents, after all, they were so young, what right did they have to be their opponents?

But if you still think that way now, you'd be a fool.
