Time flies like an arrow, and time flies.

Unconsciously, a full year has passed since the battle between Xiao Dongchen and S.H.I.E.L.D. Thor.

A year is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

But it is enough to forget a lot of things, and some of the memories related to the Great War have gradually been forgotten around the world, except for some people with good intentions.

However, despite this, some of the consequences caused by that war did not fade over time, but became more and more intense.

Among them, the most affected is naturally S.H.I.E.L.D., which was originally the world's top martial arts force, but after that war, the overall comprehensive strength has shrunk by nearly one-third, although it is still the world's top martial arts force, but it is much worse than before.

The second most profitable in that war were the Holy See of Light and the Council of Darkness in Europe.

As we all know, the national history of the country is extremely short, and the real source is still in Europe.

The United States and Europe exist on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, across the sea.

As the strongest force in the United States, S.H.I.E.L.D. has an extremely domineering style, and has had a lot of conflicts with some martial arts forces in Europe.

As the two most powerful forces in Europe, the Holy See of Light and the Council of Darkness are also the world's top martial arts forces, so they naturally have friction with S.H.I.E.L.D.

It's just because the Holy See of Light and the Council of Darkness are hostile to each other, and their comprehensive strength is weaker than that of S.H.I.E.L.D., so they have been suppressed by S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years.

But now, because of the changes caused by that war, the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been greatly reduced, and there are only six core members left, and the Holy See of Light and the Council of Darkness have all seen the opportunity to turn the weak into strong, and under the discussion of the core figures of the two sides, they have all put aside their grievances for the time being and have a strong alliance.

The combination of two world's top forces is naturally extremely terrifying.

Even with the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., it began to be unable to withstand the joint attacks of the two sides, and the sphere of influence shrank again and again, and the beaten ones were defeated and retreated.

So now, although only a short year has passed, the strongholds of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Europe have almost been completely uprooted, and the form is extremely grim.

......

......

Just when the three forces were inextricably fighting, in the sea where there had been a big war.

The original island has long since disappeared, and there is no trace of a star at all, and it was completely destroyed by that battle.

Above the sea, wisps of gentle sea breeze blow leisurely, bringing up waves one after another in the sea.

"Bang!"

Without warning, the calm sea suddenly exploded, and a figure rushed out of it.

This figure is a slender man, the man's skin is pure, his face is handsome, although he looks only about twenty years old, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes and profundity that are extremely inconsistent with his age, like an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years.

After rushing out of the sea, the man did not rush to leave, but landed his feet firmly on the sea, as if he was stepping on flat ground, and he showed no sign of sinking even though the sea water flowed.

He first glanced at the surrounding sea and punched it, and after discovering that the fist was an endless stretch of water, he slowly raised his arm this time.

The five fingers were all straightened, and as soon as the thought in his heart moved, the spiritual power in the meridians in his body immediately surged up like a great river of the Yangtze River, converging towards the position of the palm.

"Buzz!"

Beams of soft light slowly emanated from the palm of his hand, feeling the soft but more majestic spiritual power fluctuations in the palm at this time, the man's face showed a little smile this time,

With a flip of your palm, you make a downward pressure motion against the sea in front of you.

The next moment, I saw invisible spiritual power swarming out, with a huge pressure, directly pressing down on the surface of the sea.

"Boom!"

A low roar immediately resounded through the sea.

As those spiritual powers gushed out, the sea water suddenly shrank downward on the surface of the sea that was pressed down by the man.

A huge five-finger palm print appeared on the surface of the sea, as if there was really a big hand pressing on it, no matter how the surrounding sea water flowed, the sea water under this handprint did not show any signs of compatibility with other sea water, as if it had broken away from this sea area and became an independent existence.

Looking at the huge handprint in front of him that still existed even if he had dissipated his spiritual power, the man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's already in the late stage of Xuanxuan." ”

In the late stage of Tongxuan, this is a realm that only monks know, and this young man is Xiao Dongchen, who has disappeared for a whole year.

In that battle a year ago, because Thor finally launched a shocking blow at the cost of his own life, even with Xiao Dongchen's strong physical toughness, he was a little unable to withstand it, and he was almost torn apart by the violent energy contained in that blow.

It was only at the last moment that seeing that his body was no longer able to bear it, he simply took out the soul refining banner that had just been successfully refined for a short time, and summoned the nine-tailed soul in it to help him resist a large part of the energy, so he survived the bombardment of that blow.

However, although he saved his life, the pure energy that blasted into his body could not be forced out, so he could only refine it with all his strength, and it took him a full year, not only refining all those energies to himself, but even the cultivation that was originally only in the middle stage of Tongxuan was broken through by him with the help of these energies, and became the realm that came to the late stage of Tongxuan.

"It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, otherwise, under normal circumstances, it will definitely take a long time to break through to the late stage of Tongxuan. ”

Xiao Dongchen muttered.

There are two sides to everything, and calamity can also become creation.

Take this incident as an example, although he almost paid the price of his life, but now that he has been carried over, the harvest obtained is also extremely gratifying, and the cultivation in the late stage of Tongxuan has made his strength greatly improved compared to before.

"It seems that there are still many people in this world who can threaten my existence, and in the past, I underestimated the heroes of the world. ”

Xiao Dongchen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a contemplative look in his eyes.

Although Thor's strength can only be regarded as a powerful late-stage powerhouse of the Heavenly Sect, not the top super powerhouse in the world, but the last blow sent out during that battle almost killed him, if it weren't for the help of the Nine-Tails Soul to resist, he might have been torn to pieces by the furious energy in that blow now.
