The army marches.

Renata in the team looked into the distance and couldn't help but say the same thing.

Li Re looked in the direction of the sound and narrowed his eyes slightly - a hint of blue emerged in the depths of his eyes.

And it is different from what we have seen in the Duchy of Kent...

The blue sea and the dark sky.

Pitch black...

Forever night!

Chapter 559

Giant turtle, Zhang Ju's hometown and the Demon Pillar

It was clearly still afternoon at this moment, with the sunlight at its peak. However, when one looked out to the sea from the southern edge of the Ariel Continent, what one saw was not the brightness of midday, but darkness - or rather, darkness even darker than night.

The surging darkness did not look like it was covered by clouds or the sky had lost its color. Instead, it was as if the sky was collapsing and shattering.

The army coming from the mortal world was a mixture of giants, dragons, elves, dwarves, goblins and other races that did not exist in the mortal world. They slowly approached the edge of the endless mountains and the gigantic forest, with fluttering flags. Following the words of Li Re and Renata, others also looked into the distance and saw the scene of 'eternal night'.

"Is that the 'eternal night' that the church is talking about?"

"It really feels like the end of the world..."

"What will happen if you enter that darkness?"

"I don't know, but it definitely won't be pleasant—"

Everyone was talking about it.

By now, 'Eternal Night', a 'warning' that was only circulated among the church, has long become a well-known thing in the army that is conquering the continent. With the collapse of the church, many secrets of the world are no longer secrets, which is also inevitable.

And such things have never been a secret that needs to be kept in the primeval forest.

Just looking at the scene of eternal night, the expressions of the giants and dragons that came with the army became very solemn.

The voice of the Giant King Ymir fell from the sky, echoing in Li Re's ears like an explosion:

"Eternal Night is so close..."

"Do you still want to go over there?"

"Although you are very strong, I still want to give you a piece of advice - there is a huge crisis hidden in the eternal night, but this is not the biggest danger. The biggest danger is that this crisis is unknown." The voice of the Dragon King 'Chi Yan' also came from the sky.

Their voices were loud and terrifying, but they only echoed in the carriage where Li Re and Renata were. Li Re and the silver-haired and blue-eyed 'Iron Lord' opposite him looked at each other and understood what they meant.

Eternal night is bound to be dangerous, but if it is a known danger, then certain preventions and preparations can be made. But if it is an unknown danger... then even prevention is impossible.

No one can move in the eternal night.

Even if all life does not die, it will become dead silent as if frozen.

So naturally no one knows what is inside.

under these circumstances.

It's best not to get involved.

however.

"Now that we're here, it's not good to just go back like this!"

Li Re replied simply.

Renata also looked somewhat eager to try.

The swaying and bumpy hearse slowly came to a stop on a hill at the edge of the mountain, and stopped moving forward amidst the crowds of countless humans and non-humans.

The wind is blowing fiercely.

A mighty gallop.

After hearing Li Re's words, the Giant King and the Dragon King seemed to breathe a sigh of relief - it was not surprising at all, and they seemed to be slightly relieved.

Their exhortation was sincere.

But actually, he also wanted to see the courage of Li Re, a man who came from the mortal world.

If he doesn't even have the courage to touch the Eternal Night...

Then it would be almost a fantasy to want to end the eternal night that occurs once every thousand years.

In that case, they might not follow this man so wholeheartedly - even if he is very strong, strong enough to be comparable to gods and angels, strong enough to crush beings like themselves.

Here.

The army finally stopped completely.

"Your Majesty Li Re... Lady Renata, the road ahead is blocked."

Xiuji Engat's voice came almost at the same time.

Li Re and Renata looked at each other and couldn't help but smile... He thought that was probably the 'pass' that Renata had told him about before and marked on the map, blocking the end of the primeval forest.

Renata nodded more instinctively, and her young face was eager to try again.

I couldn't get through here before.

this time.

She also plans to avenge her previous humiliation!

"Eternal Night...The cause of my father's death is right in front of us!" She took a deep breath, stood up with Li Re, and walked out together under the watchful eyes of Xiuji Engat who was standing outside.

As he stepped out of the carriage, the dim sky in front of him came into view - it was much larger and more terrifying than what he had seen when he opened the curtains in the carriage just now. The pervasive darkness spread beyond the continent, as if it was brewing to engulf the world. An icy cold current also poured in from the darkness, tearing the high-raised imperial flags of "Spirit" and "Emperor" higher.

Just the terror of eternal night.

The army that had arrived here seemed to be no less powerful—those veterans of hundreds of battles were lined up in a mighty formation. The legendary nobles, ordinary legends, mages, magicians, and those who had nothing were all shocked and inevitably afraid, but they did not have the slightest urge to retreat. This was the case with the army from the mortal world, and the primitive forest races that followed closely behind were no less powerful.

The giant breathed heavily.

The giant dragon is soaring high in the sky.

The elves held their bowstrings tightly, the dwarves held their hammers, the centaurs drove forward, and the goblins danced and buzzed in the low sky, relieving the tension in everyone's hearts...

The fantastical army was spread over the hills, from high to low.

Fantasy Leader -

Facing the darkness ahead, Li Re stood on the platform in front of the car door and narrowed his eyes. He dropped his hands and felt the breath of darkness more deeply.

He said:

"really..."

"It's the breath of 'chaos'."

He had personally experienced the scene after the world was destroyed and everything turned into chaos and nothingness - in the "Pluto's Reincarnation" copy.

So his words were very affirmative.

Quite accurate.

"The 'chaos' in the creation myth..." Renata blinked her cyan eyes: "It seems that your previous guess in the Sky City was correct--"

"Eternal Night is actually the process of reorganization after the world is destroyed."

That's not speculation in Sky City.

But it was earlier.

However, when Li Re heard this, he just smiled and didn't explain... It doesn't matter, as long as you know it.

What to do next becomes even simpler.

Li Re and Renata looked forward together - looking at the 'eternal night' that was as dark as the abyss, and the 'mountain' that seemed to have grown to a gigantic size that ran across the end of the primeval forest - the mountain was thousands of feet high, stretching for thousands of miles, shaped like a door, stretching across the end of the continent, isolating the rolling of the ocean currents and blocking the extension of the land.

That is what Renata calls the 'pass'.

This mountain has an extremely huge amount of energy, it seems to be a powerful creature itself... No, maybe not just seeming, but it is indeed -

Boom!

Just after the army stopped here, the terrifyingly huge mountain suddenly shook.

Large clouds of dust were raised.

It was like a huge curtain rising from the ground, covering the sky and the sun.

Soon, a hint of bright red appeared in the dust.

It blooms bright red, more like a blazing sun - rising up into the sky!

The mountains rise from the ground!

The soldiers tried to keep their bodies steady during the violent shaking and looked up, and saw two 'blazing suns' lit up in the dust and smoke that filled the thousands of miles ahead...

Roar!

A clear cry arose, and the wind that followed blew away the dust for thousands of miles.

Finally, everyone saw the extremely terrifying existence.

Behind this mountain... a huge head suddenly appeared! Countless streams of water were rushing down its head, and its gray-brown skin was like a rock with a few bumps and ridges. It appeared behind the mountain, and seemed to turn its head to look at them inside the mountain——

This is actually an extremely huge turtle!

Its back is towards the Arielan continent.

He should have been facing the endless sea but he turned his head back.

It seemed to be carrying this mountain, and also the entire Ariel continent...

Its head is more than ten thousand feet long.

Facing this giant turtle, even such huge beings as the Giant King and the Dragon King felt a little suffocated.

Li Re also held his breath slightly.

He also suddenly understood why Renata was blocked here... The turtle in front of him was so big just with its exposed head, and one could foresee how huge its body was - it was so huge that it could fight against a silver-level existence just by relying on its size.

No matter how strong Renata is or how long she lives, she is ultimately just the 'King' in legend, the limit of the bronze limit, unable to cross the ladder to a higher level.

During this time, Renata couldn't help but raise her hand and tightly grasp the iron sword on her back. The sword body hummed and vibrated.

Boom!

The head of the huge turtle that twisted from the front suddenly opened its abyss-like mouth and let out a low roar.

The roar was huge and terrifying, shaking the earth.

The terrifying oppression caused everyone to retreat unconsciously - only a very small number of legendary strongmen were able to stand firm.

But it was this roar.

This made Li Re's eyes pause slightly, and also made Renata slightly stunned.

"It...is hurt!"

Li Re heard the sound of pain in this roar.

"Indeed." Renata agreed: "Its power has weakened a lot... and I can feel the damage left by the 'iron' in its body..."

That was a sword wound.

"It's a fragment of the Dragon Sword."

The Dragon King Chi Yan suddenly spoke again in the sky: "This is the energy of the Dragon Sword fragment!"

"Dragon Sword?"

Li Re raised his head and looked up into the sky.

The fiery Dragon King also lowered his head and explained: "The giant turtle you are seeing now is actually a dragon - but it is not a giant dragon like us, but an even more ancient 'ancient dragon' that existed in the world ten thousand years ago."

"In the ancient legends passed down from generation to generation in my clan, ten thousand years ago, Tsattois created the mortal world. There were only the first and last two ancient dragons in the world. One of them turned into a barrier to block the eternal night at the end of the world, and the other turned into a 'sword' to open the barrier - that barrier is the 'giant turtle' in front of us, and that 'sword' is what I call the Dragon Sword."

"It's just that six thousand years ago, the Dragon Sword was lost in the world along with the beastman disaster that swept across the continent... I never thought its fragments would appear here!"

The key to open the barrier...the dragon sword?
