Chapter 339: Dark Temple! Emperor's Throne!
The crane in the clouds followed the high priest away, and this time he was not blindfolded again.
Keep walking, keep walking.
Basically, all the time climbing the stairs and going up the hill.
The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and finally the heat is gone.
After walking for more than two hours, I came to the top of the mountain, where the altitude is more than 2,000 meters, and the temperature below is nearly 40 degrees Celsius, and here it is only about 10 degrees Celsius.
The air here is good, the visibility is very high, and you can overlook the whole Black Dragon City.
Well, in a sense, the city is still beautiful and full of absolute exoticism.
The stone buildings are all in the middle of a large forest.
And on the top of this mountain, there is also a stone hall.
"Please come in, Your Majesty is waiting for you. The High Priest said.
This Black Dragon King actually lives here?
Yun Zhonghe looked at this stone hall, supported by dozens of stone pillars, and a black dragon hovered on each stone pillar.
It looks quaint and mysterious, with the same dark and cult atmosphere.
What should this be called? Black Dragon Temple?
The crane in the clouds entered this black dragon hall, which was empty and huge, but empty.
The high priest came to the back of the temple, and there was a door that led to the apse.
"Please go in alone. The High Priest said.
The crane in the cloud walked through the stone gate and came to the apse, and the scenery in front of him couldn't help but make the crane in the cloud stunned for a while.
Is this a yin-yang taiji diagram?
On the left is water, on the right is fire.
A figure sat in the flames. However, this flame is not pure red, but dark red, and it looks like black.
The other half is water, and there is a dot in the center of the water, which is indeed a complete taiji diagram.
The one sitting in the flames should be the Black Dragon King?
The high priest took the crane by the collar and threw it lightly, and the crane floated lightly on the center of the circle on the water.
The crane in the cloud sat down, he was about ten meters away from the Black Dragon King, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly, there was a flame in the middle, and only a black shadow could be seen faintly.
The crane in the clouds said: "Your Majesty the Black Dragon King." ”
The other party didn't say anything, but the flames flickered, representing his response.
Is it so cold?
Yun Zhonghe said: "Your Majesty, you should know my intention, right?"
"Yes!"
The crane in the cloud was suddenly startled, because this was not the sound made by the other party, but the sound of flames.
Normal flames only make whirring sounds, but this Black Dragon King can control the flames to vibrate and emit the notes of words.
Jing Zhongyue had said before that the martial arts of this Black Dragon King were unfathomable, and in front of him, let alone fighting, he couldn't even muster up the courage to resist.
Yun Zhonghe said: "The New Great Yan Empire wants to form an alliance with the Black Yan Empire to jointly fight against the Great Salty Demon Empire. ”
"No, I can't. "This Black Dragon King is really like gold, and his words are full of absolute will.
Yun Zhonghe said: "That's okay, we don't form an alliance, but the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, and you immediately withdraw your troops from the third colony of the New Great Yan Empire." And I want to take away Jing Zhongyue, Jing Que, Jing Hu, Jing Wubian, Chu Zhaoran, Leng Bi and everyone else, the people brought by Jing Zhongyue before, I want to take them all this time. ”
"No!" the other party said directly.
The crane in the cloud narrowed his eyes, what does this mean? You came to talk to me, but you didn't say anything?
"Your Majesty the Black Dragon King, I know that the Black Flame Empire has a life-saving grace for Jing Zhongyue and the others, but I can repay this kindness, you can put forward any conditions, as long as I can do it. "Crane in the clouds.
"No, I don't. ”
I am your uncle's black dragon king.
Is it so cool? I don't have to talk with my mouth, I just talk with fire, and I never have more than two words.
Are the people of the Black Flame Empire so unsightly?
The crane in the cloud was about to speak again, and with a slight wave of the other party's hand, the crane in the cloud floated out of the whole body, leaving the water and leaving the apse.
Then, the stone gate closed, leaving a bewildered crane in the clouds.
What the hell? That's the end of the conversation?
Is this playing?
The crane in the cloud felt in his heart that there were a thousand grass and mud horses galloping past.
He had already blown up that super bomb, and he had already made the Black Flame Empire feel a powerful lethality.
As long as there is no problem with IQ, you can know that once the war starts, in the face of the new army of the New Great Yan Empire, the Black Flame Empire will definitely suffer heavy casualties and will not be able to take any advantage.
Now that the sincerity has arrived, and the big killer has been demonstrated, what should I do next?
This Black Flame Empire is completely inaccessible to oil and salt.
Yun Zhonghe thought it was strange, others might be arrogant and ignorant, but the Black Dragon King wouldn't be like that.
Why did he do this, if he just wanted to reject himself coldly, why did he have to summon himself once?
What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?
The high priest said, "Your Excellency Yunzhonghe, please come with me." ”
The crane in the clouds followed him to a room.
"Please rest here. The High Priest said, and then he closed the door directly.
What is this going to do?
His peace talks with the Black Dragon King are over, and they have failed, so why keep him?
After that, Yun Zhonghe stayed in this room all the time, still eating and drinking, but no one came to contact him.
..........................................
Three days later!
The door opened, and the high priest walked in and said, "Your Excellency Yunzhonghe, please follow me." ”
The crane followed him out of the room.
This time I came to the main hall, which was the magnificent and empty hall before, but it was no longer empty at this time.
The main hall has a black dragon throne, high above, and the black dragon king sits on it.
This time the crane in the cloud finally saw his figure clearly, what a giant, sitting taller than the crane in the cloud, I'm afraid that it is more than two meters six, right?
His whole body was shrouded in black armor, his helmet was also black, and he had two black dragon horns, so he couldn't see his face at all.
Other people's armor at least showed their eyes, but His Majesty the Black Dragon King didn't even show his eyes.
There was still a raging fire burning in front of him.
In the main hall, there were already eight people standing, each of whom was more than two meters three.
The crane in the cloud is no longer low at one meter and eight meters, but among them, he is like a child, more than a head shorter.
If you didn't guess wrong, this is the eight princes of the Black Flame Empire, all of them are here except for Jing Zhongyue.
Everyone was wearing black dragon armor, and they didn't show their faces, only their eyes.
The high priest also came, pointed to the crane in the clouds and said, "Princes, let's get to know each other, this person in front of you is the crane in the clouds, the king of the New Great Yan Empire, and a member of the Order Society. ”
The eight princes had no expressions.
The Black Dragon King on the throne sat up straight, and suddenly the eight princes all knelt on the ground neatly, motionless.
In the Black Flame Empire, the level is greater than the sky, and the centralized rule here is even more serious than that of the Eastern World, so to speak, the Black Dragon King controls the life and death of any person.
No one dared to disobey the slightest bit of his will, not even in his heart.
Any order given by this black dragon, everyone must obey, even if there is even half a question, they will be killed.
The real one who goes along prospers, and the one who goes against him dies, is definitely the supreme dictator of fate.
The Eight Great Princes were very curious, why did His Majesty bring everyone here, just because of this crane in the clouds?
The Eight Great Princes were in awe of the super bomb detonated by the Crane in the Clouds, but the Crane in the Clouds was powerless, and it was still difficult to gain their respect.
They have been respected for too long in martial arts, and in their worldview, martial arts are the standard by which everything is measured.
So even though he knows that the super bomb is very powerful, he will instinctively ignore the crane in the clouds.
"Lonely, I'm dying. "The Black Dragon King said.
At this point, everyone was shocked, as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt, and they couldn't believe it.
The Black Dragon King's words were still emitted by the vibrations of the flames, not his own words.
When the crane in the cloud heard this, he was also stunned.
The Black Dragon King is dying? His martial prowess is unfathomable, who can kill him, or is there something wrong with his body?
What happened to him?
And he's not talking about me, he's lonely.
The Black Dragon King continued to use the vibration of the flames and said, "Within a month, a new Black Dragon King needs to be selected. ”
That's explosive news.
The crane in the cloud couldn't help but think of the Emperor Nu back then, how powerful the Great Xian Demon Kingdom was, but as soon as the Nu Emperor died, the Great Xian Demon Kingdom fell into a civil war and fell apart directly.
The Black Flame Empire is almost a copy of the Great Salty Demon Country, the same cruel darkness.
Once the Black Dragon King is dead, the eight princes except Jing Zhongyue are afraid that they will beat out all the dog's brains.
The position of a commander was vacated before, and he directly used a life-and-death duel to decide who would take the position.
"When Emperor Nu died, the Great Xian Demon Kingdom perished. The Black Dragon King said: "The Black Flame Empire can't repeat the mistakes of the past, so the nine people present have a chance to become the new Black Dragon King and become the emperor of the Black Flame Kingdom." ”
The crane in the clouds was stunned?
Nine people? What do you mean, there are obviously only eight princes present.
"Crane in the clouds, you are also qualified to compete for the throne of the Black Flame Empire. "The Black Dragon King said.
The crane in the clouds was even more stunned.
How can he be qualified? He is not from the Black Flame Empire at all, and he is powerless.
Only the Nine Great Princes are qualified to compete for the throne.
Yun Zhonghe was puzzled in his heart, and the others were suddenly even more confused, and suddenly a high priest raised his head directly and was about to ask.
However, in the next second, the high priest seemed to be suppressed by a ghost, and he was completely unable to move. He was already tall, but his whole body seemed to be stretched by a few inches, and his neck was straightened, as if he had been choked by a ghost.
Then, a ball of flame burst into his mouth.
At the moment ......of "boom", his entire body burned from the inside out, and in a short moment, it turned into ashes.
It's really burned to ashes, and only black armor remains.
This is the Black Dragon King, no matter what he orders, he can only obey them, and there can be no questioning.
Because he won't let you question it at all, he has already been killed, and it is in ashes.
This high priest was undoubtedly very powerful, but in the face of the Black Dragon King's bizarre killing, he had no resistance at all.
The Black Dragon King said lightly, "Do you still have any questions?"
It's too dick, you don't explain it at all, you just obey.
The Black Dragon King said, "Since there is no doubt, then let's continue." ”
The eight princes listened carefully.
The Black Dragon King said: "Our predecessor was the Order Society, and after breaking with the New Great Yan Empire, we went into exile for tens of thousands of miles, and we found the Black Dragon Pyramid before we settled down. ”
Please, don't be so brief.
In fact, after the Order Society broke with the New Great Yan Empire, they went into exile for tens of thousands of miles, and what they wanted to find was the Holy Temple.
Because the civilization of the whole world, the power of the whole world comes from the temple.
As a result, instead of finding the Temple, the Order found a very bizarre land.
The land was cursed, and many things had mutated.
The vast majority of normal people who enter this area will die immediately.
However, people with relatively special bloodlines will also mutate their bodies after entering this area, and practicing martial arts here will be completely twice the result with half the effort.
This cursed land is about tens of thousands of square kilometers, and there is a group of black pyramids in the center of the area, there are nine in total.
Ordinary warriors only need to practice martial arts in this cursed area, but if they want to become very powerful, they need to enter this pyramid to practice martial arts.
Anyone, once they step into this land, will not only change their body, but also their temperament.
So Leng Bi was reluctant to enter this area.
The two children of the crane in the clouds are only practicing on the edge of this cursed land at the moment.
But Jing Zhongyue entered the pyramid in the center of this area to practice martial arts.
This is also the source of the dramatic changes in her body.
Anyone who enters the pyramid to practice martial arts, absolute nine deaths and one life, this is not an adjective, but a real one.
Ten people went in, and only one man came out alive.
The most important thing is that after coming out of the pyramid, everything inside is not remembered.
After a dream, you can still remember the contents of the dream, but everything in the pyramid has no memory at all.
But when it comes out, it becomes powerful.
Incomparably mysterious!
When Yun Zhonghe listened to Jing Zhongyue, he also felt very bizarre.
Then he couldn't change his doubts, was this the place where Emperor Nu rose?
Thinking that the important treasure in the box on the wreck of the Nu Emperor was actually graphite powder with strong radiation, he wondered if this so-called cursed land was shrouded in strong radiation.
Jing Zhongyue told Yun Zhonghe that the nine princes are also strong and weak, and she is the last person to be promoted to the prince.
There are nine pyramids in total, which is a progressive relationship.
Practicing martial arts in the second pyramid is definitely stronger than in the first pyramid.
The second pyramid is also definitely more dangerous than the first.
Therefore, the higher the level of the pyramid, the higher the results of martial arts training, and the more dangerous and terrifying it is.
Jing Zhongyue had only cultivated to the fifth pyramid, while the other princes of the Black Flame Empire had cultivated to the sixth pyramid at the highest.
The Black Dragon King is the strongest and has entered the Eighth Pyramid, so he is two levels stronger than the strongest Prince of the Black Flame Empire, and he is absolutely invincible in the Black Flame Empire.
And the highest, the strongest ninth pyramid, has never been entered.
No, someone has been in. But all of them died, and not one of them came out alive.
In the thousand-year history of the Order Society, no one has come out of the Ninth Pyramid alive.
So now Yun Zhonghe is very suspicious that the place where Emperor Nu went may not be a holy temple at all, but the ninth pyramid of the black pyramid group in this cursed land.
This statement seems to have been told by someone to the crane in the clouds, and the holy place in the heart of the entire Eastern world is the holy temple.
And the Emperor of Nu went to the Dark Temple.
Could it be this place?
Otherwise, why is this Black Flame Empire so similar to the Great Salty Demon Country?
The Black Dragon King said: "As we all know, I am invincible in the Black Flame Empire, and no one can beat half of my fingers. But even so, I only cultivated in the Eighth Pyramid, and I didn't enter the Ninth Pyramid, because I felt in my heart that if I entered, I would never be able to come out again, and I would definitely die. ”
Everyone listened quietly.
The Black Dragon King continued, "However, the widow has less than a month to live, and he is going to die anyway, so he has to give it a try. ”
Everyone pricked up their ears even more.
Once His Majesty the Black Dragon King enters the Ninth Pyramid, if he succeeds in coming out, wouldn't it be so powerful that it makes people desperate.
Now he is invincible and can easily crush anyone.
The Black Dragon King said: "Of course, my intuition has not changed this time, once I enter the Ninth Pyramid, I will definitely die, and if I can't come out alive, my cultivation this time is doomed to fail." ”
"So......" The Black Dragon King paused for a moment and said, "Once I can't come out, then I need to choose a new emperor among the nine of you." ”
Everyone held their breath, by what means did they compete for the throne?
Could it be a duel contest? The first one to be killed in an instant was the crane in the clouds.
And the nine princes, presumably none of them can defeat the remaining eight people, so I am the only one, the greatest probability is that the nine princes will die together.
The Black Dragon King said: "This time for the throne, there will be no competition, no duel. I entered the Ninth Pyramid to cultivate, and within half a month, if I came out alive, it would prove that I had transformed into Nirvana and became even stronger. The Black Flame Empire does not need to change emperors, and can even compete for world dominance. But if I haven't come out within half a month, it proves that I'm dead inside the pyramid. At this time, whoever can enter the Ninth Pyramid and carry my body out, then he is the new emperor of the Black Flame Empire, the new Black Dragon King. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were churning.
This is a fallacy, and it cannot be established.
Of the great princes present, the most powerful person could only enter the seventh pyramid, and the eighth pyramid could not enter, let alone the ninth.
For thousands of years, all those who entered the Ninth Pyramid died.
And if anyone can enter the Ninth Pyramid, it means that he is even more powerful than the current Black Dragon King.
However, no one dares to question it.
Once questioned, it is a dead end, and the high priest just now is a lesson from the past.
The heart of the crane in the clouds is also churning.
What the hell is this? Is this trying to test him in the clouds, or is he trying to kill him?
There is no doubt that none of the nine princes of the Black Flame Empire can enter this ninth pyramid, so what about the crane in the clouds?
Is this tailor-made?
What's inside the Ninth Pyramid? Will the crane in the clouds die when it enters?
No one has been able to come out alive for thousands of years, so why should the crane in the clouds be an exception?
The Black Dragon King said: "Very good, no one questioned it, very good." ”
It's that no one dares to question it, it's not that no one has questioned it.
The Black Dragon King said, "Three days later, go to the Land of the Damned." ”
..........................................
Three days later!
The crane in the clouds is riding a horse, which is also a mutant horse, right?
The blood-red eyes are obviously war horses, but their body size is comparable to that of a shire horse, with infinite strength and speed.
The Black Dragon King rode in a black carriage, accompanied by the Eight Great Princes on horseback, along with a thousand generals and shamans from the Black Flame Empire.
This is the wayward Black Dragon King, who doesn't need to explain to anyone, and does whatever he wants.
These more than 1,000 people can be regarded as the highest level of the Black Flame Empire, and they are also the most powerful group of people.
Everyone was puzzled in their hearts, and even dissatisfied, it was just that the eight princes were competing for the throne, why should the crane in the clouds also be qualified to compete for the throne of the Black Flame Empire?
But...... No one dares to say it, don't you want to die?
When they were about to reach the cursed land, everyone stared at the crane in the clouds, because this place was terrifying, and normal people would react immediately after entering, first vomiting, then the capillaries of the whole body ruptured, and finally vomiting blood and dying.
Only relatively special people can enter this area.
Far away, the crane in the clouds saw the area.
What a cursed land, where there is no life, and everything that comes into view is black.
And on the periphery of this area, a large number of mutant plants and mutant animals have appeared.
That's right, it's really a radiant energy. But...... It seems to be different from the nuclear bomb radiation that the crane in the clouds knows.
But at a great distance, I did feel a suffocating breath.
Very depressing, terrifying.
The crane in the clouds has traveled all over the world and has not yet discovered this place, it should have existed for countless years, so what exactly happened to this land?
The crane in the cloud did feel very uncomfortable, and before it was close to the cursed place, it had a feeling of vomiting.
The closer he got to the Cursed Lands, the more uncomfortable and dizzy he became.
This kind of ghost place is deadly.
But......
The strange thing is that when he actually entered this black cursed land, he didn't even vomit.
And...... Entered a strange mental state.
Every time he took the rosemary pill before, his spiritual perception would be magnified many times, time would slow down, and he would be able to enter a very special field of vision, and anyone in his eyes would be a transparent patch of color.
And now, this feeling is strong I don't know how many times.
He enters a world that is completely bizarre.
Very weird, and completely unexplained.
But in short, he didn't vomit, the more he didn't vomit blood.
In this way, more than a thousand people continued to go deeper into this cursed land, and the deeper they went, the more terrifying the radiation energy became.
Halfway deep, all the horse mounts could not be used, because they could not bear it.
It can only be entered by walking.
And the crane in the clouds is completely in a bizarre vision, and he can't see what the surroundings look like, only a bizarre light and shadow.
..........................................
I walked for more than an hour!
The Black Dragon King, the Eight Great Princes, the Crane in the Clouds, and thousands of others all came to the center of this cursed land.
In front of it are the nine Dark Pyramids.
The crane in the clouds looked up, almost feeling a suffocation, as if it was the center of darkness in the whole world.
What a big pyramid.
Eight pyramids surround it, guarding the ninth pyramid in the middle.
The smallest pyramid is more than 100 meters high, and the tallest one, which is 200 meters, is really as huge as a mountain.
A truly superstructure, much bigger than the largest pyramid on Earth. In particular, the ninth pyramid of the superintendent is simply a repressive existence.
And every pyramid is black, thoroughly black.
It looks particularly eerie and magnificent.
Martial arts can be practiced in this way? Martial arts can improve by leaps and bounds? Why?
Is it because the radiation energy in it is stronger? Or is it what the principle is?
It's a pity that after anyone enters it to practice martial arts, they don't have any memory, and they have forgotten the process of dying and living.
In the eyes of the vast majority of people, these are the nine hells that have devoured countless lives.
Even if the first pyramid is the lowest pyramid, ten powerful warriors of the Black Flame Empire enter, only one person comes out alive, and the remaining nine will die.
The ninth pyramid in the middle looks even more terrifying, as if hell is standing upside down on earth.
The Black Dragon King looked at everyone and said, "The highest levels of the Black Flame Empire are all here, so I want to ask you, are there any doubts?"
"I entered the Ninth Pyramid to cultivate, and if within half a month, I came out alive, then everything would be fine. If he still doesn't come out within half a month, then it proves that he is already dead inside, who can enter and bring out my body, then he is the new emperor of the Black Flame Empire, the new Black Dragon King, do you hear?"
Suddenly, more than 1,000 people present knelt down and said, "Obey!"
The Black Dragon King said, "That's good. ”
Then, this extremely powerful Black Dragon King, under the eyes of everyone, slowly walked into the ninth pyramid in the middle.
The moment he entered.
The whole ground trembled.
The dark clouds in the sky also seemed to begin to condense, completely looking like a dark apocalypse.
Then, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
This supreme powerhouse of the Black Flame Empire completely disappeared, as if he had completely gone deep into hell.
For thousands of years, no one has been able to come out of the Ninth Pyramid alive, so is this Black Dragon King an exception?
Did Emperor Nu come out of the Ninth Pyramid? In this Ninth Pyramid, is there the ultimate secret of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom? Is there any ultimate secret of Emperor Nu?
The crane in the clouds had infinite questions in his heart.
Then, more than a thousand people, unable to do anything, could only wait quietly.
Wait half a month!
........................
One day, two days, three days......
Time is like water, time is like a shuttle, and the days when you can't pretend to be forced still fly by.
Half a month has passed.
........................
Note: The next shift is 3 o'clock in the morning, thank you!
Double monthly pass on the last day, brother with a ticket, don't keep it, okay? Give it pastries, thank you very much!
