The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 668 Battle
After Li Hao and Shi Miao arrived in Longmen City, their lives continued as usual, with each of them focusing on their own cultivation.

Occasionally, Shi Miao would come to the first floor to visit Li Hao. When she saw that Li Hao was immersed in cultivation, she would sit quietly beside him for a while and then leave without disturbing him.

Time passed, but the atmosphere in the city was not as peaceful as elsewhere. Dark clouds shrouded the city, and a desolate atmosphere prevailed year-round, with a fishy smell permeating the air.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the mountain spring atop the peak, a zither materialized from the spring water before Li Hao's eyes. He gently stroked the zither, and the music resonated, stirring up countless threads. These threads were the flow of numerous laws, and each sound wave contained the power of many laws, possessing extremely strong destructive power.

"Not even close..."

Li Hao could sense that he was still one step away from reaching the thirteenth level of the bottleneck.

Boom!Boom!
Suddenly, the mountain shook, and a dragon's roar echoed from high above.

Li Hao looked up and saw a golden dragon soul phantom soaring out of the sky and rapidly arriving at the mountaintop.

"The landlord has summoned you; please assemble immediately."

The phantom of the dragon soul spoke rapidly, and at the same time, a golden passage appeared behind it, running through the entire Dragon Shield Building and reaching the top.

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat, knowing that there was probably a battle going on, otherwise the sect leader wouldn't have disturbed others' cultivation and rest so easily.

Without saying much, he quickly got up from the mountain spring. After he finished dressing, he saw a figure rushing towards him from the void. It was Shi Miao.

The other party has the floor number for their floor and can come and go freely.

"The summons from the Lord of the Tower suggests an invasion by ancient demons."

Shi Miao found Li Hao with a serious expression and said quickly, "When we go into battle, remember to stay by my side and don't take any risks. This kind of war is no small matter. The powerful ones among the ancient demons may launch a sneak attack and crush the most dazzling and tough ones. Concealing your strength is the only way to survive longer."

Li Hao knew she was worried about his safety, and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Shi Miao nodded, and then the two of them followed the golden light to the rooftop.

When the two arrived, they saw that the other seven people were already there, and their eyes were all on the two of them, especially on Li Hao.

Li Hao could sense the seriousness and worry in their eyes; clearly, he was the weak link here.

"There is an enemy attack, and it's quite large. Prepare for battle."

Long Ying glanced around and said in a deep voice.

Duan Yuan and the others all nodded, already fully armed and clad in celestial helmets and armor.

"The responsibilities we will undertake this time include not only the Kanlong Army as before, but also the Kunlong Army of the Ninth Battalion."

Long Ying said solemnly, "The larger range means we need to push the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Formation to its limit to protect them all!"

"The Kunlong Army will also belong to us?"

Duan Yuan and the others' expressions changed slightly. Liu Li asked in surprise, "Could it be that something happened to the Dragon Shield Tower?"

"No, it's because we have other tasks to perform, which is why we have to take on more responsibilities."

Long Ying shook his head, but his gaze fell on Li Hao. He said, "Brother Haotian, although you have mastered the formation, you are only at the first level of the Immortal King Realm. Your own power is too weak. I have obtained this Exploding Realm Pill, which can temporarily elevate you to the second level of the Immortal King Realm. However, there will be some aftereffects, and it will also significantly reduce your lifespan..."

Before he could finish speaking, the pill in his hand, which was emitting a purplish-black light, was knocked over by a force.

Shi Miao said coldly, "I'll take his share. There's no way I'd eat this kind of thing!"

Long Ying slightly opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile. He realized that these disciples of the Immortal Emperor could not possibly take such pills. After all, once they were taken, in addition to the problems he mentioned, it would also cause cracks in the realm, which would affect their cultivation and advancement.

The others knew this too, and remained silent, none of them pressuring Li Hao. If it were them, they wouldn't want to consume this substance either, unless it was a matter of life and death.

“In that case, Brother Haotian, you will be in charge of the dragon's tail. Shimiao, since your combat strength surpasses Duanyuan's, I will be in charge of the dragon's head, and you will be in charge of the Heavenly Claws!” Longying said.

Shi Miao frowned, wanting to refuse, as this would be too far from Li Hao, but before she could speak, Li Hao transmitted his voice to her: "Let's leave it at that. Since we've come here to train, we should focus on slaying the ancient demons. Otherwise, if I become a burden, it will be meaningless."

Hearing Li Hao say this, Shi Miao glanced at him and saw fighting spirit and decisiveness in his eyes. She immediately understood that this young man's heart was not only concerned with his own safety, but also with a great love for the world.

"Then be careful."

Shi Miao said.

She knew that Li Hao possessed that top-tier immortal armor and the End Immortal Sword, making him quite capable of protecting himself, even more so than the others in the building. If something really happened, she could come to his aid in time. Otherwise, she would not leave even if she disobeyed Li Hao.

hum!
At that moment, a vast and desolate dragon's roar came from outside the building, like the moo of a cow or the roar of a tiger from the deep sea, deep and powerful.

Long Ying raised his hand, concealing the barrier inside the building. The building walls seemed to become transparent, revealing the scene outside. The majestic Dragon Gate City was filled with countless tall buildings, and among these towering structures, figures streaked out. Some figures revealed their true forms, carrying overwhelming ghostly energy, while others were various dragon races.

They resembled mutated dragons; some were like crawling lizards with wings on their backs, some were obese like goats with scales all over their bodies, and others were like giant crocodiles with sharp horns and dragon tails on their heads—they were crocodile dragons.

In the Eastern Region, the vast majority of the inhabitants are demon races, but they also belong to the myriad races of the True Realm. Humans are few in number here. Under the suppression of the Ancestral Dragon Court, these demon races have not experienced any internal strife. When the ancient demons invaded, they took on the responsibility of guarding the Eastern Region. After all, the Eastern Region and the True Realm are their home.

"Everyone else has been mobilized, it's our turn now."

As he watched the countless streaks of light fly towards the battlefield outside the city, Long Ying said in a deep voice.

Li Hao had previously participated in wars elsewhere, including on the border of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, but those border battlefields were clearly inferior to this one, and were not the largest frontline battlefields against the outside world.

The magnificent scene before him gave Li Hao a sense of awe. All races rushed to the city to fight the ancient demons.

What would the battlefield have been like 100,000 years ago?

Li Hao felt a surge of blood within his body. He summoned the immortal armor and put it on.

Although this top-tier domain artifact cannot unleash its full power at this moment, anyone with discerning eyes can sense its extraordinary nature and the terrifying aura it contains.

Long Ying and the others glanced at Li Hao, knowing that he was a direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor and must possess life-saving treasures, so this domain artifact would definitely not be bad.

"go!"

Long Ying said in a low voice, his body suddenly turned around, transforming into a golden ancestral dragon, and soared into the sky with a dragon's roar.

Duan Yuan and the others transformed into their true forms one after another, making no attempt to conceal their auras, and flew after Long Ying.

Li Hao and Shi Miao didn't fall behind either, and they both chased after them.

As the towering buildings of the city stretched across the landscape, the nine of them arrived at Dragon Gate City. Their gaze swept across the city and they saw a fierce battlefield outside. High in the sky ahead, dark clouds gathered, and within them were countless ancient demon figures, most of them True Immortal Realm ancient demons. They were huge and exuded an extremely ferocious aura, giving off a natural sense of oppression.

At this moment, countless figures stood on the city wall, all of them soldiers who had rushed here.

Inside the city, there were also a large number of soldiers from various tribes, arranged in various places, forming a great formation.

Bang!Bang!
At this moment, a terrifying black meteor from the ancient demon realm crashed down and struck the Dragon Gate City.

A barrier appeared on the city wall, with dragon patterns coiling around it, blocking the attack of the dark meteor.

"This time the momentum is quite significant!"

Upon seeing this scene, Long Ying's dragon eyes became extremely solemn. Duan Yuan and the others also sensed that the ancient demon's forces were formidable, and their expressions turned grave.

Not far away, golden streams of light suddenly shot out from within the city, like streaks of golden fire rain, falling towards the ancient demon.

Suddenly, a dark cloud condensed within the ancient demon, obscuring the golden rain of light. Then, a gigantic arm formed from black energy was revealed, its fist clenched. The arm, tens of thousands of miles thick, was raised high and smashed down on the barrier above Dragon Gate City.

With a loud boom, the barrier on the city wall rippled, countless golden lights shattered, and some dragon patterns also dissipated and dimmed.

"So strong!"

On the city wall, many people's faces changed color, for among the ancient demons were terrifyingly powerful figures at the high level of the Immortal King realm.

"This is the aura of a Perfected Immortal King."

Shi Miao's expression was solemn. At this moment, she was also unable to fight against a Perfected Immortal King.

After all, that was already the pinnacle of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Dragon Blade Tower has made its move!"

"Dragon Shadow suddenly said."

Suddenly, nine enormous ancestral dragons appeared above the city wall beside them. The dragons' bodies stretched for tens of thousands of miles, formed from the military formation, with their scales and fur fluttering, and divine light radiating from them.

At this moment, all nine ancestral dragons spewed out scorching True Dragon Annihilation Flames towards the battlefield ahead.

It was a silvery-gray flame, exuding an aura of annihilation, that spewed through the barrier into the horde of ancient demons.

This is not a kind of immortal technique, but rather a pure killing move formed by the convergence of the power of hundreds of thousands of true immortals within the body of the nine-headed ancestral dragon, through the burning of immortal power. It possesses extremely pure destructive power.

On the battlefield, many fancy magic spells may not be effective. This is a place where blood is exchanged for blood, and the most terrifying magic spells, such as the Silent Burning Technique, are even more difficult to defend against.

This technique can only be used in military formations. If an individual were to burn their own immortal power, they would perish before even killing the enemy.

However, within a military formation, it can gather the power of hundreds of thousands of true immortals and transform it into this terrifying move, causing almost no damage to the group. Of course, unless the battle reaches its extreme and is repeatedly overdrawn, the terrible side effects will become apparent.

As the True Dragon Annihilation Flame swept across, the dark clouds in the ancient demon formation were instantly pierced. Some of the ancient demons in front screamed in agony, and even their bloodline techniques were no match for the ancient demon race. They were instantly reduced to ashes.

Amidst the ongoing casualties, a large amount of black energy suddenly surged out from the ancient demon, condensing into a huge skull-like head. With one mouth, it sucked up the True Dragon Annihilation Flame released by the Ancestral Dragon Formation, as if it were devouring it.

Just then, a cold snort suddenly rang out from within the city, a sound that shook the heavens and the earth, like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom appeared in the sky above the battlefield. It was a huge dragon claw that slammed down on the giant skull, actually grabbing it and pressing it down to the ground from high above. The earth roared, and the skull was crushed to death.

"The City Lord has made his move on the Ancestral Dragon Clan's World-Suppressing Dragon Claw!"

Upon seeing this, Long Ying's eyes lit up with joy.

Without the skull, the remaining dragon flames spewed out, causing considerable casualties within the ancient demon array, with many ancient demons wailing and screaming.

Before Li Hao and the others could show any joy, suddenly, a condensed black aura from the ancient demon rushed towards the barrier on the city wall.

The black mist, like a finger, stretched out from the ancient demon horde and seemed to stab them hard. The barrier that covered the million-mile-long border wall seemed to be shaken violently, and the countless golden patterns on it trembled violently before suddenly shattering.

The barrier around Longmen City has been broken!

Seeing this, many people's expressions changed. Long Ying's expression also changed slightly. He said, "They're breaking through faster than before. This attack is even fiercer. Everyone, hold on!"

Longmen City has three barriers: the first is the outermost barrier, the second is the barrier protecting the city, and the third is the inner city.

In a typical major battle, the outer city's barrier would break under the fierce attacks of both sides. In front of the second barrier, countless soldiers inside the city would defend to the death. Only in the most critical situations would they retreat to the inner city.

"It's time for our Dragon Shield Tower to take action! Protect the Kunlong Army and the Kanlong Army!"

Long Ying shouted in a low voice, "Form the formation!"

Duan Yuan and the others roared in unison, releasing the Six Harmony Dragon Scale Array. Golden light emanated from each other, and their immortal power became the array base. The arrays they released quickly resonated and merged into one.

Shi Miao also raised her hand and released an array, merging into the formation.

Li Hao then released his immortal power and quickly sketched out the formation, which then appeared. He merged into it and came to the dragon's tail.

Behind them was a vast army, composed of various tribes, their true forms revealed, strange and bizarre, but each part of their bodies bore the military camp's insignia, marked with the characters Kan or Kun.

Among them, several large flags fluttered in the wind, bolstering the morale of the troops.

With a low roar from the dragon's shadow, the six-dimensional dragon scale formation formed by the nine figures emerged, enveloping the two massive armies.

In an instant, Li Hao sensed that as these people entered the formation, their immortal power seemed to merge into the formation, creating a sense of mutual support and circulation.

"kill!"

Accompanied by countless roars, the ancient demon army charged forward in a mighty wave.

On the city wall, countless figures rushed out and fought their way into the outside of the wall. Both sides roared with earth-shattering cries, ten thousand times louder than thunder.

In this vast battlefield, Li Hao felt that the great formation formed by the nine of them, including the two armies they covered, was only a small part of it, extremely insignificant, let alone the individuals, who were like ants or dust, completely invisible.

kill!

The two armies formed their own battle formations, transforming into two ferocious dragons with limbs forged like molten iron and extremely strong bodies, charging into the battlefield.

The Six Harmony Dragon Scale Formation overlapped with the Savage Dragon Army Formation, complementing each other to form a sharp force that charged into the ancient demon horde.

Meanwhile, within the ancient demon horde, the Yama Ghost Array also coalesced, transforming into a gigantic black demon with a ferocious face. It was formed from hundreds of thousands of True Immortal Ancient Demons, seemingly crawling out of the abyss, and swung its arm towards Li Hao and the others.

"Dragon Rebellion!"

With a low roar, Long Ying calmly manipulated the formation. The dragon scales on the golden dragon bodies that the nine people had transformed into suddenly stood up and deflected the attack.

The Yama Ghost Array, formed by hundreds of thousands of ancient demons, was so destructive that even a low-level Immortal King would find it difficult to withstand it; this is the terrifying power of an array.

As the black giant demon's arm swung down, dragon scales were torn apart, and the opponent was clearly injured. At this moment, two savage dragons rushed out from within the formation, tearing at the black giant demon's body and gnawing out clumps of black energy. The edge of the formation was immediately breached, and an ancient demon was pulled out and smashed to pieces.

Li Hao stayed at the dragon's tail, with the dragon's body in front. He hadn't really exerted his strength yet, and he had the spare power to sweep across the battlefield. He saw huge figures formed by military formations everywhere, marching and fighting on the battlefield. Military formations could multiply the collective power several times or even ten times.

With the help of these military formations, hundreds of thousands of True Immortals can kill Immortal Kings!

Without military formations, even if the Celestial King were to sleep there, True Immortals would not be able to harm him in the slightest.

Through countless years of battles, these military formations have clearly been perfected.

Li Hao was in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by deafening roars and howls. Countless laws collapsed, and the power of the realm was released, only to be torn apart in the blink of an eye. In such a battlefield, even the Immortal King realm seemed to be just a fleeting moment.

Suddenly, a giant black demon charged from the side, attacking the dragon's tail.
