The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

The moment those cold, green, vertical pupils locked onto Wu You, the clear sword heart in his heart, which had only been trembling slightly, suddenly shuddered violently as if it had been struck hard by something.

Wu You: ? ? ?

God of Beasts: ? ? ?

Wu You was somewhat taken aback.

Wasn't it agreed that the Sinful Dragon would prioritize attacking the most threatening individuals?

He was, at best, an eleventh-tier being with some trump cards. According to the God of Beasts, there were quite a few twelfth-tier and thirteenth-tier beings in this deep dark domain after its aggregation. So why did this sinful dragon fix its gaze on him the moment it descended?!

Meanwhile, Old Wei was completely unable to think about anything else. His body, which had been tempered by the power of the True Yang Realm for many years, felt the terrifying pressure coming towards him, and the hairs on his body stood up almost instantly!

His voice was almost a shout. Even though the defenses within the stronghold had already been activated at their highest level when the black vortex appeared, he still added an extra layer of instructions immediately:

"The power and range of the psionic shield are instantly maxed out!!!"

"The city defense ritual has switched to absolute defense mode!!!"

"All torchbearers below rank seven, immediately enter the base's underground defensive fortifications!!!"

As the order was given, Wu You subconsciously looked up and glanced ahead.

The enormous, grayish-white creature was swooping down toward the Yunshang Province stronghold at an incredibly illogical speed. Its massive body rapidly grew larger in the field of vision, expanding from the size of a fist to fill the entire sky, as if a grayish-white wall was crashing down on it head-on.

Even though he was already at the Enlightenment Realm, looking through layers of psionic light at the rapidly approaching behemoth, he couldn't help but mentally mutter a complaint:

"Didn't you say there was nothing to worry about?!"

"And are you sure He didn't discover your existence?!"

The hoarse voice in his mind was momentarily speechless. He deliberately ignored Wu You's first question and answered in a clearly unsure tone: "...Probably not...?"

...Probably not...?

Wu You almost laughed out of anger.

But then, listening to Wu You, he couldn't help but briefly doubt himself.

Could it be that the existence of the Sword Canon was detected by the other party, which is why they identified him as the most threatening existence in this space?

The moment the thought popped into his head, Wu You immediately dismissed it.

No, it's impossible.

Judging from the extraordinary effects of the sword manual, its level of existence must far exceed that of the so-called "gods," while the opponent was merely a sinful dragon at the level of a divine child.

Then Wu You thought of the sword techniques he had mastered, such as the "Separation from Hatred" and the "Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter".

But he immediately rejected it.

the reason is simple.

Because the sword techniques such as [Lihentian] and [Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] were provided by the Sword Codex, even Lord Li, who was face-to-face with them, could not detect anything unusual.

Although we don't know exactly what level the Lords of the Li realm are, they can hold their own against the gods of the Corpse Realm. Even if they are not as good as the gods, they should be close to them.

The sinful dragon in the sky is only at the level of a divine child; what merit or ability does it have to discover anything unusual?

Thinking about this, Wu You also realized another problem.

He asked the voice in his mind, "Approximately what rank does the Divine Child level correspond to?"

This time, the hoarse voice answered without hesitation: "Thirteenth level."

But He immediately added the well-known exception: "However, in the combat power storyline of the Sin Dragons, their strength is generally calculated based on being one rank higher than their original rank!"

"Therefore, you need at least one level fourteen to defeat this sinful dragon."

"To kill him, it would probably require an extremely strong level 14 or even 15 expert."

"Wait—" The hoarse voice paused, "Why are you asking this—"

"You don't actually want to confront Him head-on, do you?"

Wu You did not answer, because the enormous gray-white creature had already traversed the long distance between the outposts at a speed far exceeding normal flight speed, and using some kind of spatial ability, its figure flashed in mid-air and appeared directly in front of the Yunshang Province outpost.

The terrifying aura emanating from Him, almost tangible, pressed down like a mountain. Everyone on the city wall felt a sudden tightness in their chest, as if something invisible had pressed down on them.

The three layers of psionic shields above the stronghold were now all at their maximum brightness. The outermost light blue membrane was nearly twice as thick as usual, with densely interwoven energy patterns on its surface. The middle layer of silver-white membrane was also operating at overload, with its edges already turning somewhat white. The innermost layer of amber warm light was also trembling violently.

The three layers of psionic shields were also operating at full power or even overload, like three thick curtains enveloping the entire Yunshang Province stronghold.

Then the enormous, grayish-white creature rammed into him without hesitation.

Boom! ...

When the first loud bang exploded, the outermost psionic shield suddenly burst out with a dazzling and blinding light. The light membrane seemed to be forcefully pushed inward by something from the outside, and a large part of it caved in. The patterns on the edge flickered wildly for about half a second, and then it shattered with a bang, breaking into a shower of pale blue light points that flew in all directions.

Immediately afterward, the second layer of silver-white shield was erected, but the speed and power of the evil dragon were hardly weakened by the first layer of shield. The silver-white light membrane also shattered in less than a breath, and the fragments drew short streaks of light in the air.

Fortunately, the sacrifice of the two shields bought the third layer some breathing room.

The innermost layer of amber-colored warm light rippled violently across the entire shield surface when it was impacted, and the outline of the edge flickered several times, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.

Everyone on the city wall held their breath for those few seconds. But after swaying for several breaths, the amber-colored membrane of light ultimately did not shatter.

The first attack from the Sinful Dragon was blocked!!!

The tremors on the city wall caused by the dragon's attack continued, and the stone bricks underfoot emitted a buzzing echo.

Wu You steadied himself amidst the swaying, and when he looked up, the ferocious head of that enormous creature was suspended above the stronghold through the last amber-colored light barrier, so close that he could see the fine lines on the surface of the gray scales and the wear marks on the edges.

Those cold, vertical green pupils remained fixed on him, calm, cold, and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

He frowned, all hope gone: this guy really was after him!

But then, he exhaled a breath of stale air, shook his head, and that was his answer to the question from the God of Beasts about "facing the Sinful Dragon head-on."

He asked about the opponent's specific strength level not because he wanted to fight them head-on, but now that the opponent was hitting him in the face, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing!

Or rather, given the current situation, he probably can't escape the fate of confronting the other side!

Right now, it's just a matter of learning more about the enemy.

At the same time, although the God of Beasts had previously mentioned that there were many twelfth and thirteenth level experts in this space, Wu You knew that this most likely referred to the group of torchbearers who were guarding the boundary of the forbidden zone.

However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and the fact that the Sin Dragon has fully descended and launched its attack, yet no beings above the tenth rank have appeared, reveals the problem!

Those powerful torchbearers likely have more important things to do, or are temporarily unable to leave for other reasons.

In addition, there was the Li Zhu projection, which showed no reaction whatsoever.

Wu You understood in his heart:

Now, they probably only have themselves to rely on!
