Chapter 68: The Blade of the Godslayer
On the Pantheon, the light of the crystal ball illuminated the hall flickering, and the thin Wu Xuanyuan stood beside the crystal ball, his eyes staring, and he kept chanting incantations in his mouth.
The guards in the main hall on the side were silent, for fear of disturbing the lord's divination.
Suddenly, the red light in the crystal ball flickered, reflecting the surrounding walls, and the black mist above rose, causing the dark clouds on the dome of the main hall to gather, and the flames on the torches tilted in one direction with the air current, and the atmosphere became even more eerie. Wu Xuanyuan's deadwood-like fingers swept across the surface of the crystal ball, and said in a hoarse and sharp voice:
"The time of legend has come! The great gods will show us ......"
The Thunder Emperor on the throne also stood up, frowning slightly. He has great trust in this soothsayer known as the "eye of the sky", and he has been able to sit on the throne for so many years, which is inseparable from Wu Xuanyuan's insight into world affairs.
The oppressive atmosphere around the hall convinced everyone in the hall that the near future would be brought to the horizon with the strange power of the crystal ball's divination.
A magnificent volcano gradually appeared in the crystal ball, the lava of the crater was scarlet and dazzling, the hot bubbles were tumbling and bursting, and the dark clouds were condensed in the sky. It is the Doomsday Volcano located in the northern part of the Red Earth Desert.
Wu Xuanyuan raised his arms high, and said something in his mouth: "The day of the doomsday volcano eruption, when the god-killing blade will reappear!"
According to the "Book of Ancient and Modern Times", 5,000 years ago, the warriors of the Thunder Family held the "God-killing Blade" and killed the Demon King, and after learning the news that the Demon King would be resurrected, they sank the God-killing Blade into the "Doomsday Volcano", and prophesied that after 5,000 years, the Doomsday Volcano would erupt with the reincarnation and resurrection of the Demon King. Since then, the Doomsday Volcano has been silent for 5,000 years.
The Thunder Emperor's face was solemn, and he asked majestically:
"Are you sure? The eruption is today?"
Wu Xuanyuan turned his back to the Thunder Emperor, his cruel triangular eyes squinted to the side, and muttered in his heart: "When did my first soothsayer's prophecy come to fruition......
But he didn't say the dissatisfaction in his heart, looked at the crystal ball, and said:
"Tell me, O God, your great will ......"
In the crystal ball, the magma in the crater suddenly boiled, and the crimson light flickered incessantly. Wu Xuanyuan asserted loudly:
"The Doomsday Volcano is bound to erupt, right today!"
When the Thunder Emperor heard this, he felt that it was even more urgent, and his grand voice passed through the main hall:
"Send someone to Mount Doom, the god-killing blade must not fall into the hands of others!"
A report came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the leaders of the major families have gathered, led by the Chiyan family, and they are all here for the Doomsday Volcano. ”
"Hmph, at this time, they all come one by one without urging! Let them in!"
The main entrance of the main hall slowly opened, and the first person to step into the door was the patriarch of the Chiyan family, Yi Sheng. He was tall and tall, dressed in a majestic and righteous manner, and wore the red cloak of a fire-type holy demon master behind him.
Beside him, there was a silver-haired mother-in-law, who was over 100 years old but was in good spirits, holding the Shenlong Scepter in her hand, and it was the leader of the Shenlong clan, the Dragon Woman.
Behind is the Queen of Light Elves, Lingge, with long golden hair hanging down the ground, twisted bouquets on both sides of her sideburns, wearing a crown of olive branches, her face is holy and beautiful, and the ground under her feet is blooming, as if coming from a dream.
The other person next to her has a completely different temperament, her face is as cold as frost, her temperament is arrogant, she is wearing a crystal crown, the soles of her feet are condensed with frost, and her body is cold, it is the Ice Queen, Qianlan.
The rest of the leaders from all the major races also humbly followed into the temple. The Thunder Emperor waved his hand to take a seat, and everyone took their seats on the left and right sides of the main hall. The ten elders and elites of the Pantheon stood on both sides of the main hall.
As soon as the Ice Queen sat down, she folded her two slender legs, swept the audience with her arrogant gaze, and said in a strange manner:
"Unexpectedly, even the patriarch of the Chiyan family and the patriarch of the Shenlong clan were alarmed, and the people who came today were really all. ”
After Yi Sheng sat down, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and said slowly without anger and self-authority:
"The Chiyan family has been guarding the eastern border for generations, and this matter is even more related to the peace and stability of the entire continent, how can I be missing. ”
Long Po, who was sitting next to Yi Sheng, spoke: "The Doomsday Volcano is within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Chiyan City Lord, and it is not unusual for him to come. It's the Ice Queen, who came from the snowy region not far away, so it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it. ”
The Ice Queen snorted lightly, and her face raised slightly angrily: "To maintain the balance and stability of the continent, my Ice and Snow Family is naturally duty-bound." ”
"I'm afraid that a person stays in the ice and snow palace, lonely and unbearable, he likes to be cranky, and it is really difficult for you to be young. Long Po sneered.
"You!" the Ice Queen was so angry that her face was gloomy, and she cursed in her heart: "You old immortal ......"
The leaders of the other families also whispered about the Doomsday Volcano, only the Queen of Light Elves Lingge, always sitting quietly, without saying a word, the flowers in the phantom around them developed for the first time, beautiful as a picture, like water with an ethereal spirit in her eyes.
The patriarch of the Xingchen family from the West Sea suddenly pressed his hands and said:
"Alright, everyone, we're here to discuss the matter of the Doomsday Volcano, and listen to what the Thunder Emperor has to say!"
This Xingchen family has always been a vassal family of the Thunder Family, until Wu Xuanyuan, who was born in the Wu Clan, replaced the position of the strongest soothsayer of the Xingchen Clan, and the status of this family declined.
Everyone looked at the Thunder Emperor, and the hall fell silent.
The Thunder Emperor sat on the throne, his eyes blazing, and he spoke majestically:
"This time, everyone is called here, not only for the Doomsday Volcano, but also for the belonging of the God-killing Blade. Presumably, everyone knows that the ancient divine blade 5,000 years ago is said to have sunk to the bottom of the Doomsday Volcano. This matter is related to the peace of my magic continent, and I hope you can treat it carefully. ”
Wu Xuanyuan held a purple crystal ball in his hand and stood respectfully on the side of the throne.
"Elder Wu, tell you about your divination. ”
"Yes. ”
Wu Xuanyuan bowed slightly, woke up the crystal ball, and his fingers with long pointed black nails swiped across the crystal ball: "Adults, please look." ”
The crystal ball shows the scene of the Doomsday Volcano, the crater is full of smoke, the magma is boiling more violently than before, the surrounding earth is cracked due to the shaking, and the hot magma is clearly visible in the cracks in the ground.
"This ......"
The leaders fidgeted, and some stood up in surprise. Among them, Yi Sheng's expression was even more solemn, and he knew that the Doomsday Volcano had never been like this before......
"That's right, what you're looking at is the Doomsday Volcano. ”
Wu Xuanyuan continued, "For the past five thousand years, the Doomsday Volcano has been silent, so that people do not believe that this volcano can erupt, and even doubt that the legends about the demon invasion and the god-killing blade five thousand years ago are not credible. ”
