Start from Wusheng

Chapter 1017 The world is shocked
Rumble!
A deafening roar shook the earth and mountains, and the upheaval that began at the eastern boundary affected the entire southern border.

The enormous stone pillar slowly rose from the ground and flew towards the highest heavens.

This is a signal, the trigger signal for the start of the final battle.

The initial shockwaves alone were enough to overwhelm a large number of martial artists, causing their bodies to collapse and die instantly amidst the tremors in the air.

The unrest in southern Xinjiang affected not only the local area, but also all fifty prefectures of the country.

On the overseas islands, the waves were ten times higher than usual, crashing against the shore and creating a sea of ​​foam.

The once-solid seawalls were destroyed, and one by one, the nations located on the islands were washed away and destroyed.

The sea warriors appeared in terror, slashing through the waves with their swords and using their agility to dodge the arrow-like water droplets.

They were constantly on the move, and people were frequently shot down from mid-air, completely swept away by the waves and shattered to pieces.

No matter what martial artist, martial master, or even a martial artist in the early stages of a powerful martial arts realm, they all struggled to withstand the might of heaven and earth, ending up in a sorry state.

Those grandmaster-level sea warriors hovered high in the sky, watching the calamities unfold one after another, their expressions solemn.

They sensed a trend emerging from the events unfolding before their eyes: a wind rising in the southern borderlands, its influence reaching overseas thousands of miles away.

"It's going to be tough, really tough!"

As a member of the powerful maritime forces, Chi Riqianli looked up at the solemnly arrayed grandmasters and knew that the maritime environment was too fragile, and even the slightest disturbance could cause serious changes.

Therefore, the only way out for sea warriors is... to go ashore.

Beyond the northern border, in the most desolate lands, far from the borders of the fifty states after the great defeat and expulsion of the Wu tribe from the Central Plains, they migrated even deeper into the wilderness.

The living environment of the shamans became even harsher, making reproduction difficult and hindering their lineage, leading to their decline.

Whenever they looked toward the Central Plains with resentment, they were blocked by a huge shadow, called... Zhenbei Ge.

Unless Zhenbei Ge is eliminated, the Wu people will never be able to set foot in the Central Plains.

On this day, the witch beasts and Gu worms stirred up panic, triggering a huge upheaval.

Thousands of the shamans responsible for raising the animals were eaten, which caught the attention of the higher-ups at the altar. Upon inspection, they discovered that the disturbance originated from the southernmost part of the area.

"The Divine Sword of the Southern Heaven?"

"No, we need to go further south, across the northern lands, then across the capital, and further south of the capital!"

Is that the limit of heaven and the boundary of earth?

"Southern Xinjiang, the borderland guarded by the towering pillar, is just like the border between us and Zhenbeige."

"Is there anything in this world that can rival the Zhenbei Ge?"

"Yes, although not many, there are still a few, one of which is in the southern border region."

A Gu King, as thick as a dragon, soared into the sky, tearing the heavens apart, and went berserk due to the unbearable fluctuations.

The powerful figures at the level of the Great Shaman stepped forward to suppress the enemy, tearing apart the densely clouded sky, shattering the thick clouds and snow.

At the same time...

Somewhere in the sacrificial palace of the capital city!
The water tank rippled slightly, startling a water flea that had been pausing for a long time, causing it to dart away.

With a clang, the copper ball fell into the large iron vat, bobbing and tinkling for a moment.

The piercing noise drew the attention of the guards. Looking up at the massive, complex machinery, they noticed a missing copper ball in the direction of the southern border; the ball was lying in a large iron vat.

"A massive earthquake has struck the southern border region. Report this to the Emperor immediately!"

Before long, General Zhou of the Imperial Guard rushed to Qingyun Road and delivered the message to the Lord.

"Hmm, Southern Frontier, the decisive battle has begun!"

Feng Jun took the copper ball, on which two opposing streams of vital energy swirled, clearly the demonic energy of the tiger corpse from the distant southern border and the power of Lord Shen.

He pondered for a moment, then instructed Zhou, "Take it to... um, Consort Mei to see!" A moment later, Consort Mei saw the copper ball, stared at it for a moment, and asked, "Has it already begun?"

She waved her sleeve and nodded to Zhou, "Thank you for your trouble, General!"

Zhou jogged back to the massive machine, clutching the copper ball. He carefully placed the ball back in its original position.

After finishing all that, an old voice sounded behind me, "Everything went smoothly!"
This place in the state was a key and important location for the sacrificial palace to Heaven.
Only he and the guards on duty that day were allowed to enter. Any other living creature that entered the area, regardless of its identity, was to be killed.

The voice of the old warrior was clearly neither the guard on duty nor Zhou himself, and was the target to be killed.

Strangely, Zhou did not suddenly attack, but instead turned around very calmly.

He bowed respectfully to the owner of the voice, "Lord Chongyang!"

The visitor was none other than the renowned master of the capital, the foremost expert in seal script, the leader of the Heavenly Organization, the unparalleled Golden Immortal of the era, the Nine Coins and Nine Points Immortal, Chongyang Gong.

Chongyang Gong wore an indigo turban, with a withered twig stuck in his hair bun, and his ten fingernails were stained black with ink.

He was very relaxed, strolling leisurely in front of such a fierce and violent master as Zhou.

Strangely, Zhou, who was usually arrogant, was extremely respectful in front of him, as if he were meeting a lord.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhou knelt down with a thud, clasping his fists together, "We've only fished out two Nine Cauldrons; the time isn't right yet!"

"No, it's too early. The nine tripods in the north are one, and the two tripods in the south and southeast are the second and third. One-third of the nine tripods have already been produced!"

Chongyang Gong counted on his fingers, "Once one cauldron is produced, all nine cauldrons will be difficult to hide."

"Let me tell you, the Nine Cauldrons are like beads strung together on a thread. Once you pick out one, the rest will naturally follow, and it's not difficult at all!"

Zhou's lips twitched slightly. That's for you, but others don't think that way.

He continued, "The outcome of the battle between Shenhou and Yindao is irrelevant to the overall situation; the birth of the second of the Nine Tripods is already a foregone conclusion."

"Your Majesty is wise! The forces of demons, monsters, bewitches, and warriors are all under your control!"

Duke Chongyang raised his hand, "Don't flatter me. I'm not as clever as you think. I've simply seen through and understood the general trend around me, and acted accordingly, thus getting a few steps ahead of others!"

“Everyone says that rats are short-sighted, but not everyone in the world has a far-sighted view. You just need to see a few steps ahead of others to win!” He pondered for a moment, “Go do something else.”

"?"

"Go to Xiaoyaozi's residence immediately and deliver a box of ink blocks. Make sure you see him in person."

Mr. Zhou was greatly surprised. "Your Majesty, could this person be the one to ruin everything?"

Duke Chongyang gave him a disapproving look and said, "Don't ask, just do it!"

Duke Chongyang said, "If I confirm that he is in the capital, my chances of winning will be more than 90%, otherwise..."

He sighed and waved his hand, "Go ahead, it would be too abrupt to show up suddenly. Take my box of gold ink with you."

Gold-ink mud?
Mr. Zhou was taken aback. "This is your lifeline!"

"Stop talking nonsense and go!"

Chongyang Gong watched Zhou leave in a hurry, then said to the massive machine, "

Xiaoyaozi, you're the only one who can ruin my plans.

"Over the years, I've gone to great lengths to keep you in Beijing and separate you from Liangdi, but I haven't been able to stop your meteoric rise." "If this continues, you'll eventually see through my schemes!"

"Sorry!"

"I can only allow you to live until I launch my great undertaking."
