Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023 - 451: Green Demon Arc - Waves (Part 2)

After speaking, the Hei Family Ancestor made a sudden move, attacking Lord Lan!

The Zuo Family Ancestor and Bai Family Ancestor exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

In an instant, the four of them were tangled in chaos, the thunderous sound of explosions continuously echoing, as they battled further away, yet most people couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the battle!

Only the ceaseless tremors, the collapsing caverns, and the shaking earth and mountains made it clear how intense the battle was.

"Lord Lan is being suppressed!"

The Shu Bird Demon said in a deep voice at this moment.

It was the first time he saw Lord Lan fall into a disadvantage!

Without waiting for others to react, he directly led all demons to attack Ye Zhongyu and his group.

At this time, all demons attacked the humans.

In an instant, the entire secret place turned into a chaotic battle, with the humans visibly retreating step by step!

"Lord Lan! You no longer have the bravery of those years! You’ve taken the wrong path!"

"We’ve grown stronger in our own way, but do you know how much suffering we’ve endured to reach this point, Lord Lan!! Your theory has wasted so many years for us!!"

"Lord Lan, colluding with demons and attacking us, what do you really gain!!"

The three Ancestors jointly fighting the enemy all roared.

Losing ground, Lord Lan suddenly stopped in his tracks at this moment.

"You all... understand nothing! I’ve never held back, I’ve never taught you wrong!"

Facing the simultaneous attack from the three people, he neither dodged nor evaded, but was ready to take it head-on!

"The human body is the key to everything!"

A blinding blue glow suddenly emanated from Lord Lan’s body! Bands of light like the aurora encircled him.

"Only by preserving the pure human body does one have the right to reach the pinnacle!!"

BOOM!!!!

A terrifying energy erupted centered around the four of them, sweeping upward!

...

On the surface, at the crossroads.

"Is this the location where the Foolish Underworld provided intelligence?"

"I can’t sense anything, where are they?"

"The Family Ancestor followed them, maybe they went in first? Let’s wait here outside."

People from the Five Great Families gathered together in this place.

Besides them, there were also people from the Foolish Underworld, as well as powers from the three major martial arts schools and smaller forces in Tianyuan Town, all concentrated here.

BOOM!

With a flash of thunder among the dark clouds, it illuminated the densely packed crowd below.

"Truly, a convergence of events!"

The Black Tiger Gang Leader [Yu Wenwuji] looked excitedly at the people around him.

He had never seen such a grand spectacle in his life!

Once upon a time, he longed for such a scene so much that he didn’t mind being a dog for the Five Great Families.

And now, he had single-handedly expanded and strengthened the Black Tiger Gang, turning it into the top power under the three major martial arts schools!

In fact, as long as the three major martial arts schools weakened a little, his Black Tiger Gang could replace them!

"I will step by step! Step by step! To the top!!"

Yu Wenwuji clenched his fists, trembling with excitement.

In chaotic times, heroes emerge, and now was the time for his Black Tiger Gang to rise! Even the Five Great Families suffered continuous losses, with the favorable timing, location, and human factors aligning, his Black Tiger Gang was destined to reach the pinnacle in his hands!

Equally excited like Yu Wenwuji was Xuan Jinhua, the Xuan Family Master, who stood behind him like a small subordinate and a country bumpkin.

Others in the gang couldn’t hold on and left one after another.

Only he remained steadfast!

What if he starves to death? Moreover, he wasn’t going to starve!

He had long foreseen, if he didn’t log off continuously, he would have his private doctor at home directly provide IV injections, inserting a catheter for urination, and unless it truly threatened his life, he would never remove the helmet!

A person can go three days without food or drink before dying, let alone this event hasn’t even lasted three days since the Tianyuan Grand Array’s lockdown, preventing players from logging off.

The greatest pressure actually came from the psychology of the gang members and players in Tianyuan Town!

The fear of not being able to log off, the panic of not knowing when they could log off.

Half a day is bearable, but after a day, anyone would start to worry.

Some feared death would mean real death, hiding away, with no discipline to speak of.

Some saw the system functions all normal, just temporarily unable to log off, so they suicided to delete their characters.

The result is unknown to anyone, but most watched time tick away, fearing their real-life bodies could starve or something else under the stress, resorting to extreme measures.

Not everyone has loads of time to play games, life needs to go on in reality, and being unable to log off affects everything too much.

In the street, Xuan Jinhua even encountered a player exploiting the situation to advocate for the ’game life theory’, whom he killed on the spot.

The so-called game life theory is about living as if the game was reality, becoming digital humans in the future, living only in this game.

In reality, it was just spreading panic, along with theories about divine beings, which Xuan Jinhua directly ignored.

Games are just games!

Unable to log off is indeed a bit strange, but this game is extraordinary in every way, and introducing a feature preventing log-off during a major event is unprecedented, yet exciting!

"Information, it’s all intelligence! By mastering this intelligence, I’m on the forefront of the game!"

Xuan Jinhua looked at the top experts gathered around, secretly anticipating the development of the event.

After all, the event was made for players.

Will it be about defeating a BOSS to get gear, or participating in an epic storyline? Xuan Jinhua’s heart filled with anticipation.

And at this moment...

BOOM!!!!

Suddenly, a violent roar came beneath everyone’s feet.

Before they could react...

BOOM!!!

The ground beneath the crossroads suddenly surged high, as if propelled by energy, shooting up hundreds of meters almost instantaneously.

Xuan Jinhua watched almost helplessly as the ground rose up, taking along the surrounding buildings, standing at a vantage point.

While others were panic-stricken, Xuan Jinhua excitedly looked around from above, having almost a full view of Tianyuan Town, and from afar, he could vaguely see a squad gathered beyond the Tianyuan Grand Array’s city gate.

Before Xuan Jinhua could take a closer look, a greater commotion came from below, from unknown depths beneath the risen ground!

BOOM!!!!

Before he could even react, the oval ground raised hundreds of meters exploded with a boom!

"Ahhhh!"

"Help! Help me!"

"What’s happening! What’s happening!!"

The exaggerated power shattered the entire raised ground while sending a terrifying force outward from the center!

The entire surface of Tianyuan Town, in waves like an undulating sea, suddenly spread outward!

All paved bricks flew up and came crashing down, splitting in half.

All buildings connected to the land were tossed half a meter high, coming down heavily, collapsing in disarray, with blood and bodies strewn across Tianyuan Town, cries and pleas unending.

In just a blink, the entire Tianyuan Town almost plunged into purgatory!

And this wave-like shockwave didn’t cease, continuing outward until it crashed heavily against the Tianyuan Grand Array with a deafening boom that conveyed the aftershock to the array, resolving the crisis.

However, from Xuan Jinhua’s falling perspective, the entire Tianyuan Town seemed like a giant had grabbed and shaken its surface like a sheet being shaken, fiercely jolting it.

The buildings in Tianyuan Town leaned haphazardly, collapsing in a mess, reduced to ruins, chaotic once again.
