Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 619 Human Race vs. All Races! (Two Chapters Combined)

However, inscribing each rune consumed too much mental energy, and his mastery of this sealing array was only at a beginner level.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to completely repair the sealing array in one go.

But this is enough.

Slightly repairing a few 'worn' runes can drastically increase the difficulty for the Star Devourer to influence the outside world.

Its so-called 'cosmic energy' could no longer be released for a time.

To be honest, he didn't believe that this was just the ordinary aura that the Star Devouring Dragon usually exhaled.

The other party deliberately released this mist; they must have had a purpose.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the released 'cosmic energy' was specifically targeted at him.

Now that the influence of 'cosmic energy' is gone, the surrounding space quickly stabilizes and returns to normal.

"Ok?"

Song Changming touched his Qiankun Ring, and several communication jade slips were taken out from it, floating in front of him and opened.

Messages were coming from all of them, and they were all from a long time ago!
He glanced at them and saw that they were all messages from acquaintances: Su Qingqing, Song Ping'an, the Jade King, and even the Cloud Palace.

All that he said was that the demon race invaded five human states a month ago, and the world is in chaos!
"A month ago?!" Song Changming's eyes widened.

But he felt that he had only been in the abyss for less than a day, so how could it have become a month ago?
"It's that cosmic energy!"

His thoughts raced, and he quickly realized that the cosmic energy released by the Star Devouring Dragon could not only shield him from external stimuli, rendering his communication jade slip ineffective.

Can it better control the flow of time?
It seemed like only one day had passed for him inside the universe, but more than a month had passed in the outside world!

"The power of time! The Star Devouring Dragon can control time?!" Song Changming was greatly shocked by this.

But then I thought about it again and felt that something was not right.

This power of time is far more terrifying than the power of space. If the Star-Devouring Dragon truly controls time and is so powerful, how did the Abyss Emperor manage to seal it away back then?

“That’s not the case.”

Based on Zhou Qi's recent behavior, Song Changming formed another judgment in his mind.

The cosmic energy released by the Star Devourer Dragon should not actually affect the passage of time.

The person it truly affects is him, or rather, his consciousness.

The cosmic energy could subtly cause Song Changming to lose his perception of the outside world, as well as his sense of the passage of time.

My consciousness became rigid, my thoughts became sluggish, and I felt as if I had only spent a day in the abyss.

In fact, he did spend a whole month in the abyss!

"But why would the Star-Devouring Dragon trap him? Could it be for the sake of those demons from the Nine Provinces?" Song Changming was somewhat unsure of the Star-Devouring Dragon's true intentions.

If it were for the sake of the demon race of the Nine Provinces, it would be somewhat far-fetched.

After all, if it breaks free from the seal and releases those monstrous beasts from the fog to destroy the world, then naturally neither the human race nor the demon race of the Nine Provinces will survive.

What does the conflict between the human and demon races of the Nine Provinces have to do with it?
Now that the seal has been reinforced, it is difficult for the Star Devouring Dragon's 'inner thoughts' to be conveyed, so Song Changming is unable to get any information out of it.

Song Changming took a deep look at the sealing array below. Through the seal, he seemed to see a pair of beast eyes as bright as the sun, staring back at him.

"As long as I'm here, you can forget about ever coming out again!" Song Changming sneered.

He was very unhappy that he had been tricked by the Star Devourer Dragon without his knowledge.

He also realized that he had been far too careless. After all, this was a world-destroying beast from outer space, and its danger was far greater than any other ferocious creature in the Nine Provinces.

Even when dealing with someone who is sealed away, he must be extremely careful.

Otherwise, as in this case, if there is even the slightest opportunity, the other party will seize the chance to do something to affect him.

At this moment, Song Changming didn't linger. He withdrew his gaze, opened the portal, and left.

Time is of the essence; more than a month has passed since the demon race attacked the five states.

Judging from the outdated news, the situation for the human race is not optimistic.

The demon race is more united than ever before, comparable to the demon alliance that destroyed the ancient Yuan Kingdom.

Once all races unite, even if the human race rises with great momentum, it will be difficult to resist at this moment.

After all, there are just too many demons. Even if all the common people of the human race were added together, their numbers would still be far less than the number of these invading demons!

In the southern part of Yunzhou, of the twenty-eight cities along the Cuibai Road, twenty-three have now been reduced to ruins and infernos.

The number of people lost in this wave alone is at least over ten million!
Most of the territory of Cuibai Road has been occupied by the demon race, and only Cuibai Main City is still struggling to hold on and standing firm.

This main city is the last lifeline of Cui Bai Dao. Once the main city falls, Cui Bai Dao will have no chance to recover.

As night fell, a hundred miles outside the main city of Cuibai lay.

Under the light of numerous runes, countless demons retreated like the sea, disappearing into the darkness.

"We've retreated." Yang Zhen used his gun as a support for his battered body.

Within his body, in his Purple Mansion, all the power of a Grandmaster had been completely exhausted in the bloody battle that had lasted for three days and three nights.

Covered in demonic blood, his wounds burned, causing unbearable pain, numbness, and itching.

He bowed to Tang Leshan, who was standing to the side, to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for saving me, otherwise I would have been in grave danger."

He didn't remember how many demons he had killed, only that he had almost lost his life just now.

A powerful demon had seized the opportunity to ambush and kill this human grandmaster who was already on his deathbed.

Tang Leshan arrived just in time, and the two of them worked together to barely defeat the great demon.

Tang Leshan glanced at Yang Zhen, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.

His condition wasn't much better either. His body, once that of a Grandmaster, had been torn apart by the great demon, and even his bones and internal organs were faintly visible beneath a few pieces of armor.

And it wasn't just them; many other martial artists, including many grandmasters, suffered the same fate, all seriously injured.

This bloody battle was truly extremely brutal, the bloodiest and most dangerous battle in the history of Cuibai Road.

They were so close to their defenses collapsing and the main city falling.

hum!
A figure fell heavily from the sky; it was none other than the Jade King.

At this moment, the King of Cui was also panting heavily. The sword he always carried was broken in two, with the broken blade in his left hand and the hilt in his right.

He also had a lot of demon blood on his body, but his own injuries were relatively better.

After all, he was a Grandmaster-level expert in the later stages of cultivation. If Song Changming is not included, he was the strongest person in Cuibaidao.

As the southern gateway to Yunzhou, the fact that this main city has been able to hold out until now is largely thanks to the efforts of the King of Cui.

In the past month, at least three or five great demons have died at his hands!

With a phoenix cry, Little Phoenix returned from the ashes in the distance. Her golden figure, like a blazing sun, radiated a scorching brilliance against the gloomy sky, making her exceptionally dazzling.

With a flap of its wings, Xiaohuang swept across the battlefield and returned to the main city behind it, transforming back into the charming young girl who played with fire.

If the Jade King is the number one hero who defended the main city, then Little Phoenix is ​​the number two hero, second only to the Jade King.

It was thanks to Xiao Huang's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Fire that many powerful demons dared not approach the main city of Cuibai.

"What is the situation regarding casualties?" the Jade King asked. This was what he was most concerned about.

Looking around, the sight of dismembered limbs and broken bodies everywhere filled him with immense heartache.

"Your Majesty, the commanders of the 34th and 28th Armies have been killed!" A powerful figure from the royal palace stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"..." King Cui remained silent.

In fact, the loss of only two military commanders was much better than he had anticipated.

This is a barely acceptable result.

War is never without its frustrations, but as long as the casualties are kept within a manageable range, the war can continue.

"However, there are too many seriously wounded, and very few of our commanders still have the strength to fight..."

The powerful figure from the royal palace couldn't help but offer another reminder.

Besides the heavy losses suffered by top-level combatants like the Grand Marshal, many junior commanders and generals also suffered even greater casualties, a truly shocking sight.

He wanted his king to be mentally prepared.

Because after this battle, the army was no longer able to fight!

The king's gaze swept over the generals who were still standing, covered in blood. They were all looking at their king, waiting for his orders.

“Take the people and the soldiers and retreat, Your Majesty…” An old man with a cane approached the King of the Green Kingdom, leaned down and suddenly said.

His tone was extremely solemn.

He is currently the top minister of the Prince's Palace, and is also a master martial artist, skilled in both literature and martial arts, holding a very high position.

Only he dared to speak these words now, which was tantamount to asking the King of Cui to give up his fiefdom. Under normal circumstances, this would be considered a rebellious act.

But now, retreat is the only way for everyone to survive.

King Cui was also struggling with his own thoughts. He understood that if they did not retreat now, they would not be able to withstand the next wave of demon attacks.

At that time, both the army and the people in the city will be buried with them.

But while he understood, it was incredibly difficult for him to make that decision.

Some generals, their faces contorted with rage, stepped forward, brandishing their guns and swords, and shouted, "We are willing to defend our fiefdom to the death for the King!"

They are true guardians, having fought the demon race for a month, long since putting life and death behind them.

Even in a fight to the death, they never considered surrendering to the demon race.

"Elder Ling, lead the people of the city away first, and head towards the heart of Yunzhou," the Green King calmly instructed the old minister leaning on his cane.

Upon hearing this, the old minister basically understood the king's thoughts. He opened his mouth, wanting to offer some advice, but ultimately swallowed his words.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"

The Green King turned his gaze back to the generals standing amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Either stay and fight the demons to the death, or escort the people away from Cuibai Road. Your fate is up to you, and I will not blame you!"

The King of Green's voice echoed across the battlefield, making it clear to all the soldiers.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"."

A series of roars echoed in response to the Green King.

They were unwilling to cede territory to the demon race, so their only option was to fight to the death!

Xu Yuan exhaled a breath crackling with electricity, wiping his blood-stained longsword as he shook his head and said, "I have to admit, I miss Song Changming a little now."

Tang Leshan, standing to the side, silently agreed.

They had all witnessed Song Changming's rapid rise to power and knew that as long as Song Changming was around, how could these invading demons possibly drive them into a corner?

Just then, the girl Huang, standing on the city wall, suddenly had her eyes light up and looked towards the distance not far outside the city as if she had sensed something.

There, space twisted, and particles of light gradually coalesced, eventually forming a portal of light out of thin air!
The king and many generals present were all invigorated upon seeing the appearance of the gate of light.

They all knew what the appearance of this familiar light gate meant.

The turning point is here!

Sure enough, a towering figure that many of them had been longing to see emerged from the portal.

Many light source particles within the light gate drifted and dissipated behind this figure.

This figure was none other than Song Changming, who had returned from the abyss!

"I'm sorry I'm late." Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, and even many familiar faces who were seriously injured, Song Changming couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Regardless of the external factors that led to this, it is a fact that he failed to appear and stand with the others when they needed him most.

"Thankfully, at least the main city is still here. Changming, you're not too late to come back," said the Jade King with a sigh of relief.

With Song Changming around, at least when the next wave of demons attacks, they won't need to be filled with the will to die and the determination to perish together with the demons.

"Young master, you're finally back." The young girl Huang wrinkled her nose and began to complain.

"Those demons are impossible to burn out no matter how hard we try. If you don't come back soon, I'm going to take Da Huang and Da Bai to find Qing Qing."

"Where are Qingqing and the others?" Song Changming asked Xiaohuang.

"Fox Mountain is fighting those giant insects. Qingqing and Heya went there. I originally wanted to go too, but Qingqing said that since Young Master hasn't returned, she asked me to stay here," said the young lady Huang.

Song Changming sorted out his thoughts and then learned about the current war situation of the human race from the Green King.

Overall, the situation is not optimistic.

Besieged on all sides, the entire five provinces of the human race have suffered countless deaths and injuries in just one month.

The demon realm was more united than ever before, and even the four human emperors were finding it difficult to maintain order.

"Changming, what are your plans?" the Jade King asked.

Song Changming first replied to Yun Di, Su Qingqing and others with text messages one by one.

Then, his eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light.

"Of course, we should settle accounts with the demon race!"

After saying that, he told Xiaohuang to stay here and help guard the city, while he took off and lightly stepped into the air.

His toes created ripples and twists as he stepped out, and in the next instant, he disappeared into the night.

The sensation spread out, quickly covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Soon, he found the retreating demon army.

The number was indeed enormous, an uncountable horde, including fire monsters from Yanzhou and demons from other places gathered together.

Among them, there are quite a few ancient demons. After a great battle, there are at least fifty or more left!

It's no wonder the battlefield was so brutal. Rather, it's a miracle that King Cui and his people were able to hold onto the main city and prevent Cui Bai Dao from falling completely under such a large-scale and intense invasion by the demon race.
