Before dawn.

This is the second time Qin Yao has infiltrated the Demon Jing, and it is more convenient than the last time. First, they were familiar with the road, and second, thousands of ancient beasts wreaked havoc in the city all night, and they all went to rest with a full meal and wine.

The people in the city were miserable, but they didn't dare to cry heartbreakingly, for fear that the cry would attract the ancient beasts again. So the family was gloomy and tense, and the whole city was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Xixi was more familiar with Mojing, and took Qin Yao straight to the palace. The control center of the Heaven Covering Array was on a tower on the other side of the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

It's something like a watchtower, and it's unusually sturdy. A bronze pillar like a lightning rod is the central pillar of the tower, which plunges into the sky from the foundation, revealing the top of the tower for more than a zhang.

The copper pillar is actually a slender cone, and the base part of the foundation needs to be hugged by two people, and the top of the 12 zhang high is only as thick as the mouth of the sea bowl.

When he arrived at the palace, Xixi was naturally more familiar. And even more fortunate is that after a night of chaos raging, he was resting somewhere else, and he couldn't even smell the smell.

Everything went so smoothly that when they arrived at the bottom of the watchtower, there were actually twenty minutes left before the agreed time.

And the reason why this time was set was because there was a need for cooperation inside and outside the city. When it was just early in the morning, Tang Jianxin would lead a group of masters to pretend to attack at the head of the city. At that time, Chaos will definitely kill it. As soon as Chaos was attracted to the northwest corner of the city wall, Xixi and they would open a sky-covering array in the center of the city.

Chaos will be alarmed and will return immediately. It's a pity that half the distance of the magic capital, even if it takes a while to return. Even if the speed of chaos is flying, it will take at least two minutes.

And there is only about three minutes of warm-up period to open the Sky Covering Array, and after that, it will be easy.

Then sneak into the bottom of the tower and wait. And the secret room where the octagonal crystal was stored was also next to it, and for Qin Yao, who could be invisible, it was not difficult to steal this rare crystal as big as a fist.

But as soon as he entered the tower, Qin Yao was stunned by the scene in front of him.

As a tall tower, the space inside is not large, but there is a huge bronze statue erected.

Made of bronze, two stories high, dressed in the style of the Zhengjie Pre-Qin Dynasty, it quietly exudes supreme majesty in solemnity.

Even if you don't have facial features, you feel like you're being stared at.

This huge bronze figure sits next to the central bronze pillar, with one hand resting on his heart and the other on the pillar.

"What are you doing?" said Sissy was a little curious.

Qin Yao muttered to himself: "I've seen such a bronze statue!"

Xixi was also stunned: "Is it? Where is it? It is said that this is what my ancestor obtained in the mysterious place, and it is also the central foundation of the entire Heaven Covering Array. ”

Qin Yao: "After I came to the Reverse Realm, I made a big move in the Heavenly Demon Hall by the Great Wall of Red Blood, you should know, right? Although the posture is different, the style is exactly the same at first glance. In particular, there is only a human form and no facial features, and this peculiar style seems to come from the same place. ”

This time it was Sissy's turn to be stunned.

Qin Yao was thinking that the Heavenly Demon Hall was made by the Demon Dragon Emperor 10,000 years ago, and the Second Dragon also said at that time that it used the technology of the Demon Clan, and that the Demon Clan helped build it. But I didn't say anything very detailed, because the second dragon also has a vague memory.

Especially after merging with the dragon body of the green snake, many things were even more blurred, and Qin Yao couldn't ask anything. Moreover, at that time, the second dragon was imprisoned by a special spell when he was still young, and was locked up in the Heavenly Demon Hall as a challenge object for the trialists, and it knew very little things.

In short, the technology of the bronze statue in front of him should be the same as that of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Maybe it was also a treasure from 10,000 years ago, which was found by the ancestors of the Chu family somewhere, and carried back to the palace to become the center of the formation to protect the dynasty.

Thinking back to when he saw this bronze statue in the Heavenly Demon Palace, this thing was like an artificial intelligence in later generations, almost scaring Qin Yao out of a cold sweat. So now when I see this again, I can't help but feel worried.

Regarding this, Qin Yao also doubted whether there were other special civilizations in ancient times. Not only cultivators, but also terrifying technological civilizations. Otherwise, how would this artificial intelligence-like bronze statue be explained?

And if the demon race had mastered this kind of thing ten thousand years ago, how could the world of the remnant clan and even the ordinary human race be able to resist its advantage? unless they also had similar abilities.

Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but make Qin Yao's heart surge.

It's just that no one remembers those things anymore, and the history books are even more vague.

Perhaps, once you can open the "Memory Gift Package" of the Demon Dragon Emperor in your head, you can also have a real understanding of that era.

The Demon Dragon Emperor should be a combination of the brilliant ancient era and the ignorant period of the current era. Finding its memories will continue this disconnected civilization.

Too much secrecy.

Just when Qin Yao was immersed in this reverie, Xixi was already sitting in the big hand that the bronze statue was holding up. She poured her telekinesis into the octagonal crystal, which took on a colorful glow.

Then, as long as the octagonal crystal is placed in the groove that fits just right on the middle finger of the bronze statue, and then recite the corresponding incantation, the Heaven Covering Array will be opened.

Of course, Qin Yao also immediately took out the beast crystals that had been gathered and opened the pit of the bronze statue's pedestal. Obediently, the demon cores inside were piled up like broken coals, and the beast crystals were neatly stacked in fixed pits. After checking, in fact, Qin Yao couldn't use up the beast crystals they had prepared, and there were still a few left.

Everything is ready, and now all we have to do is wait for the signal from outside the city.

Finally, there seemed to be some signs of confusion on the other side of the city wall, and there were also shouts of killing. Obviously, Tang Jianxin led people to attack.

A few minutes later, when Tang Jianxin saw the chaotic figure appear on the top of the city, he ordered people to fire four shots according to the rhythm of 1, 2, and 1. Although the shouts were heavy, the sound of gunfire reached the palace clearly at this dawn hour.

Qin Yao in the tower smiled: "Chaos has really gone to the city wall in the northwest corner, let's start!"

Cissy nodded, tucked the octagonal crystal into the groove, and began to chant the words. Then the entire faceless bronze figure seemed to glow slightly, and the light was transmitted along the outstretched hand to the central copper pillar, and then slowly rose from the base of the copper pillar to the top.

Xixi sat there motionless, while Qin Yao immediately ran out to prevent an enemy that might appear at any time.

At this time, Qin Yao looked up and saw that the copper pillar exposed at the top of the tower had begun to slowly emit light, although it seemed soft, it gave people a sense of oppression, as if it contained an extremely large amount of energy.

Immediately after, there was a loud click, and the spire released a terrifying light, like a huge thunderbolt. This thunder and lightning pierced the sky, and a terrifying net of thunder seemed to bloom in the sky.

Then with the spread of the thunder net, it seemed that a large number of clouds and mist suddenly appeared in the sky. These clouds quickly gathered, gradually forming a layer of black and oppressive thunderclouds.

The area of this thundercloud was huge, and it even extended to a mile outside the Demon City.

Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, that's how it feels. Moreover, the concentration of this thundercloud is still increasing, and the energy inside seems to be unable to be suppressed and begins to escape outward.

And the lightning burst from the copper pillar continued to collude with the thunderclouds, but it still did not trigger.

It was like a drastic change in heaven and earth, and the people of the entire Demon Capital were stunned. Since it had already been turned on once a while ago when the Emperor died and the dragon fell, everyone now knows what happened. Just, why? Why did it start again!

Who is presiding over this Heaven-Covering Array?

Doesn't it mean that only the royal family is eligible?

But isn't the pseudo-demon emperor Chu Zidong dead?

Don't...... Is Princess Sissy back?

In an instant, the people of the entire Demon Capital became excited. Of course, families with relatives who died in the beast disaster gritted their teeth, and they couldn't wait to ask Princess Xixi to kill all the monsters!

Yes, surely, this is a big array that even an adult dragon can kill!

And at the head of the city, the fierce beast Chaos, who was confronting Tang Jianxin and other strong men, suddenly came back to his senses - he had fallen into the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain!

Gnea...... With an angry roar, Chaos' massive body turned from the city to the palace. Such a huge body went on a rampage, and I don't know how many houses and temples were damaged along the way.

Of course, now I don't have to worry about being exposed, so Tang Jianxin and other strong people, as well as a group of intelligent beasts such as Bai Jiablack and Huo Ling'er, also followed in. It's just that Chaos can't turn back and fight back, its time is too urgent.

And the giant beasts such as Huo Ling'er harassed it from behind, somewhat limiting its speed. In this way, maybe before it came to Qin Yao, the big array had already been opened. Three minutes, very quickly.

Chaos was a little impulsive, and it actually had another choice just now, which was to flee before the Heaven-Covering Array was opened. Because it should know that the Heaven Covering Array has the ability to kill it.

But at the same time, it was also worried that Qin Yao in Tang Jianxin's camp never appeared, did he deliberately ambush outside?

The safest strategy now is to rush in and interrupt the process before the Heaven Covering Array is fully activated.

Of course, anger is also one of the important reasons why it made this choice.

At the same time, it also ordered the other ancient beasts in the city to hurry to the tower of the palace and stop the opening of the Heaven Covering Array at all costs through its angry roar!

So before it arrived, dozens of fierce beasts broke into the palace first, and went straight to the square under the tower. It's just that Qin Yao's figure blocked them.

All of a sudden, the shadows of the beasts in the square were heavy, with teeth and claws. But these fierce and inward-looking guys didn't dare to rush forward first.

"Xixi, how long do you have to go?" Qin Yao had already heard the heavy footsteps of Chaos.

Xixi didn't answer, he concentrated on activating the big array, and the state of no answer made Qin Yao's heart even more bottomless. Due to the tense situation, every minute and second seems extraordinarily long.
