The Land of the Earth

Everyone had just returned to Tianlong Academy. They were so exhausted both physically and mentally that they didn't even have time to say a few words. They dragged their heavy feet back to their rooms to rest.

The hardships of traveling all the way and rebuilding the royal city weighed on them like a huge rock. Now they urgently needed a good rest to restore their energy.

Two days later, the sunlight shone through the window onto everyone's faces, awakening their sleeping bodies.

After two days of rest, everyone felt that their physical strength and magic power had recovered a lot.

They walked out of the room and prepared to go to the academy's training ground to continue improving their strength. That was where they practiced every day, full of familiar atmosphere and memories of struggle.

At this moment, the clear sky suddenly changed color. Black clouds gathered rapidly like raging waves, as if the end of the world had come.

Immediately afterwards, black blood rain poured down, emitting a pungent fishy smell, and every drop of it seemed like a curse from the depths of hell.

Wherever the blood rain went, the buildings in Songcheng began to make a "sizzling" sound, and the building materials seemed to have encountered strong acid and melted rapidly.

The barrier surrounding the royal city began to ripple under the erosion of the blood rain, the light gradually dimmed, the runes began to twist and dissipate, and the power of the barrier was vulnerable to the attack of the blood rain.

The citizens fled in terror, but the blood rain still fell mercilessly on them, burning their skin in an instant, and their screams of pain resounded throughout the royal city.

At this critical moment, Dean Chen's majestic and steady voice rang out in everyone's mind: "Follow me to resist the blood rain!"

This voice was like a beacon in the darkness, bringing a glimmer of hope to the panicked people. Dean Chen was the first to fly into the sky, his posture erect, his long robe rustling in the strong wind.

Behind him, the teachers and students of the academy responded, casting spells and soaring into the sky. For a moment, the sky was filled with magical light, and the power of various attributes intertwined. Everyone worked together to form a huge shield. Runes flowed on the shield, emitting a dazzling light, barely keeping the blood rain out.

Tian Yuan frowned. He looked at the blood rain that continuously hit the shield and shouted, "Dean, the power of this blood rain is too strong. We can't hold it off for much longer. What should we do?"

There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, and those around him felt a heavy weight on their hearts. Everyone knew that if a solution wasn't found quickly, once the shield was broken, the entire royal city would be doomed.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, suddenly, the Yunming Sword, Huofen Sword, Shitian Sword, Lianming Sword, Fengmo Sword, Time Sword, Guangming Sword, and Huanmeng Sword seemed to sense the crisis and emitted strong light.

The blade of the Yunming Sword was surrounded by clouds and mist, and those clouds and mists were like a lively dragon, releasing mysterious power;

The Fire Sword was enveloped in raging flames, the flames shot up into the sky, and the high temperature seemed to ignite the surrounding air;

The stone patterns on the Stone Sky Sword shone with an earthy yellow light, emitting a heavy and steady power;

The Lianming Sword glowed with a pink halo, as if an invisible emotional force was surging within it;

The Wind Demon Sword whistled, and a powerful tornado formed around it, with the wind blades spinning like sharp blades;

The Sword of Time emits a faint blue light, which seems to contain the secret of time and can control the passage of all things;

The sword of light was as dazzling as the sun, and wherever its light reached, darkness seemed to retreat;

The Fantasy Sword was like a dream, with all sorts of strange sights appearing around it, each of which seemed like an illusory dream, yet contained real power.

The power released by these eight swords was like eight rushing rivers, quickly converging together. That combined power formed a devastating shockwave that rushed towards the blood rain in the sky.

Under the impact of this powerful force, the blood rain in the sky disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

However, before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a massive dark door appeared in the sky. It seemed to be the entrance to an endless abyss, and eerie roars emanated from within.

Countless dark creatures swarmed out from it, they had different shapes, some had huge wings covered with sharp bone spurs; some were shaped like giant pythons, spitting black venom from their mouths;

Some resembled humanoid monsters, wielding weapons emitting a dark aura. These dark creatures rushed towards the city like a tide, leaving devastation in their wake.

Dean Chen's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Follow me and kill them!" He swung the sword in his hand, and a powerful beam of power shot towards the group of dark creatures, instantly destroying a large number of them.

Everyone in the academy responded, exerting their most powerful strength and fighting a desperate battle with the dark creatures.

For a moment, the sounds of magic colliding with dark forces and shouts of killing were intertwined in the sky.

Qiao Jing waved the magic weapon in her hand and cast a wind and fire spell. Wind and fire intertwined to form a huge tornado, which sucked in the dark creatures that approached and burned them to ashes.

He Jiaojiao controlled the wind blades, which rained down on the dark creatures, cutting off their wings and limbs.

Feng Qi summoned a powerful wind spell, blowing a group of dark creatures around, and then crushed them with his powerful force;

Tian Yuan's hands ignited with blazing flames, and he rushed into the group of dark creatures, like a god of war bathed in fire. Wherever he went, the dark creatures were devoured by the flames.

Chaoyun cast an earth spell, and countless huge stone spikes suddenly extended from the ground, piercing the dark creature from below.

The teachers also displayed extraordinary strength. Some teachers summoned ice spells, freezing large groups of dark creatures into ice sculptures;

Some teachers use the power of light, and the light penetrates the bodies of dark creatures like a sharp sword;

Some teachers also used teleportation spells to send a group of dark creatures to a distant place so that they could no longer threaten the royal city.

However, the dark creatures were numerous and seemed endless. They kept pouring out of the Dark Portal, attacking everyone in wave after wave.

The battle became more and more intense, and everyone's strength began to be gradually consumed, but they had no intention of retreating.

They knew that behind them were their homes and countless innocent citizens, and they had to protect them.

During the battle, Song Chaoming looked at his tired but determined companions and shouted, "We can't let these dark creatures destroy our efforts. Everyone, hold on!"

His words were like a shot of adrenaline to everyone, and they mustered up their courage again and threw themselves into the fierce battle.

While everyone was fighting hard against the dark creatures, it seemed that there were pairs of more evil eyes watching everything from inside the Dark Portal.

The existence hidden in the depths of darkness seems to be plotting a more terrifying conspiracy, and this brutal battle is only the beginning of this conspiracy...
