Chapter 198 The Submerged Shanghai, the Invasion of the Ocean

The catastrophe in northern Xinjiang was extinguished before it could cause too many casualties.

Only the Northern Frontier Military Headquarters discovered a skeleton, suspected to be the Eight Directions Demise King of the Ancient Capital, nestled on a mountain peak, but it did not express any intention to attack or invade.

Given its powerful monarchy, the Northern Frontier Army had no intention of launching a campaign against it. After all, it was far from the populated areas, so they could simply send a troop to monitor it in real time.

The Lord of the Underworld shook his head and looked at the traces left by the previous dimensional portal.

It had been lying in the northern border region for almost half a year, and returned after not seeing Lin Ling and Jiu You.

Could it be that it was left behind in northern Xinjiang?
But it didn't dare fly back to the ancient capital on its own. If the Nine Netherworld Queen suddenly returned, it would be in deep trouble.

Who told Jiuyouhou to be the first of the eight fallen rulers to be promoted to emperor?

The Bone Dragon Lord roared to the sky. For some reason, the Northern Frontier soldiers stationed there to monitor the situation felt a strange sense of desolation about the Bone Dragon Lord before them.

After all, without gaining any weight, the biting winds of northern Xinjiang truly penetrate to the bone; he probably couldn't stand the cold.

On the other side, at the original location of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

At the scorching midday sun, the golden desert shimmered dazzlingly.

Suddenly, black muddy water gushed out from the desert particles, rapidly expanding into a black swamp.

Boom!
A hand broke through the mud and reached out to support the body, then used its strength to lift the entire body up.

The person who reappeared was none other than Lin Ling, who had disappeared for some time.

"We've been tricked. That old scoundrel Khufu, even as an emperor, still resorts to such tactics."

After being severely injured by the Nine Netherworld, Khufu used forbidden dark magic to pull the entire Great Pyramid of Khufu into the dark dimension.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was long ago transformed by Khufu into a passage between the Dark Dimension and Earth; in an instant, the pyramid could fall into the Dark Dimension.

It was only at this moment that Lin Ling and Jiu You realized that Khufu's true elite power was all in the Dark Dimension.

Sphinx, Medusa, and so on. These were merely his subordinates left behind during his lifetime.

After his death, Khufu waged war in the Dark Dimension for thousands of years, conquering a territory of moderate size and possessing a minor emperor and two half-emperors as his subordinates.

Its strength far exceeds its capital on Earth.

Lin Ling was put on the defensive for a short time after being pulled in. Before she could figure out what was going on, she was tricked by Hu Fu.

Fortunately, his strength was enough in the end. He fought for a whole week and killed all the emperors, including Khufu. Khufu's territory was shattered and covered with the destructive marks left by forbidden magic.

Only then did they use the power of the Dark Lord to open the passage and return to Earth.

"As expected, Khufu also possessed a fragment of a dark godhood."

After pulling Jiuyou Hou out of the dark quagmire, Lin Ling then examined the black fragments swirling inside her body.

This fragment resonated with his power as the Dark King, but it was too small. Perhaps one day he could collect enough fragments of divinity and try to become the Dark King himself.

"What time is it now?" Lin Ling took out her phone to check the time.

The flow of time in the Dark Dimension may not be on the same track as the flow of time on Earth.

He fought outside the darkness for a week, and surely more than a week had passed on Earth.

I pressed the power button, only to find that the phone had already shut down due to a dead battery. I had no choice but to take out a power bank, charge it while pressing the power button, and see when it would turn on.

Finally, when the battery level reached 2%, the phone screen lit up and connected to the signal.

Before Lin Ling could even see the time, a series of explosive messages suddenly burst forth.

Most of the messages were sent by Lingling, but there were also Leng Qing and Mu Nujiao.

But the messages from all the different senders were strikingly similar: "Siren invasion, the Demon Capital is in trouble!"

"A siren invasion?"

Lin Ling looked and realized that about half a year had passed on Blue Star.

"Damn it, Khufu! If you weren't already ashes, I'd drag you out and shoot you for five hours straight!"

boom! ! !
Lin Ling didn't linger; he transformed into a shooting star and soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant at the horizon.

Dragon Country, Magic City.

The once dazzling metropolis of Shanghai has now been reduced to ruins in a vast ocean.

The surging seawater swallowed half the city, and the once towering skyscrapers are now only half-buried, like drowning giants struggling helplessly in the churning, muddy waves.

The glass curtain wall reflected the leaden-gray sunlight, like countless desperate eyes staring at the sinking city.

The sky shattered, and dark clouds rolled and poured down like ink. Dozens of celestial rivers poured down from the broken sky, forming a giant waterspout connecting heaven and earth.

Seawater, carrying the remains of reinforced concrete, surged and raged through the streets. Gale-force winds swept across the water, whipping up towering waves that smashed the last few buildings that had not yet collapsed into pieces.

The entire city let out its final sobs in the vast ocean, the afterimages of neon lights flickering beneath the murky surface, like a dream fading away.

Old Man Bao led Lingling to the Pearl Academy, which was still half-submerged.

Lingling stood atop the clock tower, gazing at the familiar city before her, her bright yellow eyes filled with confusion.

Everything happened so suddenly.

As usual, it was a peaceful afternoon, but the sweltering heat kept people huddled indoors in air-conditioned rooms.

In an instant, pitch-black clouds surged in from all directions, completely enveloping the sky above Shanghai in just a few breaths.

Before anyone could react, a towering tsunami, nearly reaching the sky, swept across the land and crashed into the city, submerging the entire coastal area of ​​Shanghai.

The sky was shattered by an unknown force, revealing dozens of enormous holes, as if connected to the sea, from which endless seawater poured in, accelerating the city's demise.

In less than ten minutes, Shanghai suffered an unprecedented devastating blow, leaving half of the city completely inoperable and the other half barely clinging to life.

"Lingling, you stay here and try to contact Lin Ling again. We can't get in touch with him at crucial moments."

At this moment, Old Man Bao could no longer afford to slack off; he was a forbidden spell, the pinnacle of human magic.

Now he must once again shoulder the responsibilities that the strong should bear.

Protect our home!

"Grandpa." Watching Old Man Bao leave, Lingling knew there was nothing she could do now.

At this moment, Mu Nujiao also came to Lingling's side.

Lingling had no cultivation and was like a lone leaf in an unknown disaster that affected everyone.

"Lingling, don't worry, Lin Ling will definitely come back. Shanghai can also weather this disaster," Mu Nujiao comforted Lingling.

"It's different. This time it's different."

"What's different?" Mu Nujiao didn't understand what Lingling meant for a moment.

"The sea is too deep...it's not just for rulers and monarchs..."

"The king of the seas is coming."
