From the Valkyrie to the Endless

The energy of the earth's veins has almost been completely exhausted, all life has been cut off, the wasteland is covered with fertile soil, and not a single blade of grass grows.

The ancient trees that had grown for hundreds or thousands of years also gradually began to wither. Only in the many cities where spirit gathering formations were set up did there seem to be some sporadic signs of life.

The vitality of the entire southern region is drying up, famine is spreading at a terrifying rate, and with trade routes cut off, this place is about to become a purgatory, and there will be no chance of improvement.

Under this situation, what Shen Qing can do is very limited. He can only do his best to protect more people.

Nowadays, the wilderness is full of crises. The powerful hidden demons can no longer hold back and have begun to move frequently.

In order to avoid contact with these powerful monsters, Shen Qing always traveled along the safer official roads between cities.

Even so, accidents still happened.

When passing by a city, the city that was normal when I came here is now in ruins and full of corpses.

The spiritual formation that enveloped the entire city has collapsed, the city walls have crumbled, and only the raging fire is eating away at the ruins.

Powerful energy fluctuations came from deep within the city. A golden statue over a hundred feet tall stood in the center of the city, holding a divine instrument in his hand. It had been completely awakened, and the surging incense and vows formed clouds, with a terrifying momentum.

His opponent was a strange bird with a wingspan of nearly hundreds of feet. Its body was cyan and gold, and its three tail feathers were extremely long, stretching for more than a hundred feet. They were red, black, and gold in color, and were entwined with spiritual patterns.

Every time the tail feathers flap, they will roll up a deafening energy tide, summoning a sea of ​​fire out of thin air, which is extremely terrifying.

Every time it attacks, a light will light up between the eyebrows of the strange bird. This is the precious light that blooms when the spiritual consciousness is operating to the limit.

There is no doubt that this is a great demon that has opened up the divine hidden power within its body.

The battle situation changed rapidly, and soon the god's golden body began to break, and it was obvious that he was at a disadvantage.

The giant golden sword in his hand was full of holes and pits. The power of incense and vows was defeated time and time again. Under the erosion of water and the tempering of fire, it was gradually losing its strength.

On the other hand, the strange bird only had a few sword wounds, no bones were exposed, and a few feathers had fallen off.

It is obvious that the battle has been decided.

Shen Qing couldn't help but hold his breath and retreated silently. The gods behind him also didn't dare to breathe.

The big monster in the Shenzang Realm is still too powerful for Shen Qing to be an opponent now, and there are too many uncontrollable risks.

However, before she could walk far, the battle situation suddenly changed. The golden body of the god suddenly collapsed, and at the same time, endless divine light lit up in the area thousands of miles around, rising into the sky.

The light rain from the sky condensed into a giant sword that was more than a thousand feet across, with divine patterns flowing on it, bursting with vigorous and sharp energy.

Chi-

The giant sword tore through the sky, and its force was so fierce that the strange bird could not dodge in a hurry, and half of its wings along with two tail feathers were cut off.

A long, shrill cry sounded from the sky, and the huge body fell into the ruins like a meteorite falling to the ground, raising thousands of feet of dust.

The unknown god's dying counterattack had apparently caused the strange bird to suffer almost unbearable damage.

Seeing this, Shen Qing suddenly stopped retreating, and the breath he had been holding gradually began to loosen up, and he silently took out his sword.

Even its wings have been cut off. Is it still a great demon in the Shenzang realm?

No, that is her hidden door.

Before the gods behind him could react, Shen Qing had already streaked across the sky like a comet, his long sword making the sound of wind and thunder, and like a waning moon rolling through the void, he rushed into the smoke and dust.

Having decided to take action, Shen Qing no longer hesitated. A knife shadow flashed in his pupils and his eyes were as fast as arrows. He broke through the obstruction of dust and smoke and locked onto the strange bird struggling on the ground. He used up all the energy in his body and chopped it down suddenly.

Before the knife flashed, a long and sharp sound that was enough to tear gold and split stone exploded, going straight into Shen Qing's head and causing a sharp pain like a needle prick.

It is a secret method that directly strikes the soul.

Before she killed the gods and absorbed the power of incense and vows, this blow was enough to make her faint, or even shatter her soul for a short period of time, causing her to lose her mind.

It’s a pity that her spiritual strength is no longer what it used to be. She swung the sword without any pause. The hundred-foot-long sword energy condensed by the internal energy chopped heavily into the neck of the strange bird.

puff!

Blood spurted out, and the knife energy cut into a depth of several feet before being stuck by the cervical vertebra. Lines of information emerged in Shen Qing's mind.

[Bloodline: Seven-Colored Phoenix]

【Cultivation: Fifth Realm Middle Stage】

[Status: Near Death]

Without paying any attention to the sudden message, Shen Qing put away his sword, calmed down, and chopped down again with even more force.

click-

This time, the head of the strange bird was cut off directly with one knife, and a surge of essence that Shen Qing had never felt before poured into his body and was gradually absorbed by the sundial.

Shen Qing's mind gradually relaxed. The corpse of the strange bird lying in the pit suddenly trembled, and the only remaining golden tail feather rose up, flashing a dazzling divine light.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next moment he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his body. His chest and limbs were pierced by several golden feathers, and he was beaten into a sieve.

Middle-earth, the imperial capital.

A long rainbow streaked across the sky, and a green-robed monk carrying a convoy slowly landed in front of the south gate of the imperial capital.

There were already people waiting at the gate, led by a thirty-year-old man wearing a white brocade with cloud patterns, followed by several monks in different costumes.

The man had a tall and handsome figure, deep facial features, and black eyebrows. Between his brows was an unconcealable heroic spirit.

"Husband!"

Ji Jingyu got out of the car and couldn't help but throw himself into Zhao Yingnan's arms.

She had been exposed to wind and rain, and had been worried and frightened all the way. Her heart had already been stretched to its limit and she was exhausted. It was not until this moment that she completely relaxed.

"Suffering."

Zhao Yingnan comforted his wife in his arms and tilted his head to look at the line of attendants beside him:

"This trip has been rewarded, you will receive your reward when you return home."

"Thank you, General." Everyone thanked him.

Then, Zhao Yingnan looked at the green-robed monk and thanked him solemnly:

"Thank you for your help this time, Elder Fu. I, Zhao, owe you a favor."

"General, your words are too sincere. I dare not take credit for them. It was a cultivator who sent my wife out of the Southern Region. I just happened to receive her."

Hearing this, Zhao Yingnan was surprised:

"Oh? Did you leave a name?"

I'm very sorry. I'll find time to make up for it later. Yesterday's chapter has been supplemented. You can refresh it and have a look. There may be some content that was supplemented later. I didn't see it. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

"It's a woman named December."

"December? What level of cultivation?"

Zhao Yingnan was a little confused when he heard this somewhat unfamiliar name.

"Gangsha is perfect."

"That's strange. I've been in the Southern Region for many years and have never heard of this person."

Most of the Gangsha cultivators or fourth-level gods have some reputation. Zhao Yingnan has stayed in the Southern Region for many years and must have heard of them.

"The reason why the general has never heard of him is that he was only a cultivator in the Condensation Stage half a year ago."

Ji Yunxiao on the side took over the conversation and explained the reason.

"This is quite new. Which old monster has possessed him?"

Zhao Yingnan's first reaction was to possess another body and be reborn, otherwise his cultivation level wouldn't have improved so abnormally.

"There is nothing abnormal about her soul. Her behavior during this reunion is not much different from before. It is not possible that she is possessing another body."

Ji Yunxiao shook his head and denied it, and then said: "This woman is hiding a big secret. She once said that she would come to the Imperial Capital. Then the general can try it out for himself."

"Forget it. I'll thank you again when I have a chance."

Zhao Yingnan shook his head and said no more. Ji Jingyu, who was curled up in his arms, was about to speak when suddenly his vision went dark and his legs went weak. If Zhao Yingnan hadn't supported him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"Jingyu?"

Zhao Yingnan's face changed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse. After a few breaths, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Looking at the bewildered look on Ji Jingyu's face, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless:

"How come you're so old, and you don't even know you're pregnant?"

"Pregnant?" Ji Jingyu looked puzzled. After coming to his senses, his eyes were moist and joy almost overflowed from his face. He asked for confirmation with a hint of disbelief:

"real?!"

"It's my daughter."

Zhao Yingnan nodded, a smile on his face, but worry was hidden in his eyes.

It is not known whether this child’s birth is a blessing or a curse.

"Hello, daughter." Ji Jingyu gently stroked her belly with a soft light in his eyes.

Thinking of what she had seen and heard along the way, the joy on her face gradually faded, and worry hung between her brows. She asked softly: "When will the South Region be able to return to its original state?"

This question made Zhao Yingnan fall silent for a while. After a while, he spoke with a slightly heavy tone: "It's hard to restore it to its original state."

Those who have died can never be resurrected, and those who died in this war will never come back.

The Holy King Jiuyou sent a divine decree to summon him back to the Imperial Capital. Now he is not even allowed to leave the Imperial Capital, which is tantamount to imprisonment.

It has been made clear that he is not allowed to interfere in this matter.

Zhao Yingnan did not tell Ji Jingyu these words explicitly. There was no need for both of them to share this pressure.

"The South Territory is now full of demons. I encountered them many times on my way back." Ji Jingyu sighed softly: "In addition to December, I was also saved by a god when I came back. It's a pity that something seemed to have happened to him, and the jade talisman he gave me to protect me turned into ashes."

"Let's go back home first."
