C366 Four Shadow Guards
"Sigh, thinking back to when we started our business, how much suffering we went through, how many battles we fought, and how hard it took us twenty to thirty years to get to this point."
"I didn't expect that in less than a year, you, kid, would already climb to the top of us old fellows, and even reach the peak of Western King Region's power. This is truly fate messing with people."
Lord of Dongfang City looked at Luo Tongtian with a complicated expression. His expression was somewhat gratified, praising, and envious.
"Ai, the waves of the Flooding Lake are stronger than the waves. We're old now!"
Deputy City Lord Tian smiled as he stroked his white beard and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong with the two of you? No matter how promising this kid is, he is still our son. He has to be filial to us and serve us. What else do we have to be unsatisfied with?"
When General Luo heard their words, he pulled a man with one hand and asked with a surprised expression.
"That's right. All of you are my adoptive father!"
After seeing the look in his foster father's eyes, Luo Tongtian nodded his head and said with a silly smile.
"Little rascal, why aren't you kowtowing to your godfather?"
General Luo rolled his eyes and kicked his butt.
"Yes, godfathers. Please accept Tongtian's bow!"
After being kicked by his godfather, not only did Luo Tongtian not feel any pain, he even felt extremely close to him. He scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment. He formally knelt to the three of them and paid his respects.
"Brat, you are just like that old man Luo Ning. You are both smart and cunning. You only know how to lie to us old men who do not have a sense of security." Lord of Dongfang City rolled his eyes at the father and son and shouted angrily.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the two city lords, Luo Tongtian and his son looked at each other and smiled.
After they talked about some matters regarding the Devil Spirit, they finally decided to use the time when the Yang energy was at its peak to open the spatial door at noon the next day and send Luo Tongtian to the underground space of Dongfang City.
Taking advantage of the few hours of buffer time, Luo Tongtian found a secret room to adjust his condition.
After his advancement, the Heaven Melting Furnace also became stronger. Its capacity to absorb and exhale Yuan energy increased. When he regulated his breathing, his strong breathing actually formed a terrifying vortex on the roof, controlling all directions. When all living things came and went, it was truly amazing.
Under the effect of the Heaven Melting Furnace, the surrounding natural spirit energy turned into talisman shaped spirit lights that flickered with a moving beauty. They drilled into Luo Tongtian's dantian, nourishing his spirit core and strengthening his body.
After more than two hours, Luo Tongtian had finished regulating his breathing. His entire body was glowing, and his blood and Qi soared into the sky. He looked like a supreme magic tool that shot out in all directions from the treasure light.
"I don't know what use this Half-king magic weapon that the Western King gave me has, but I forgot to ask just now. I'm really confused." Luo Tongtian held the pearl in his hand, and he couldn't help but frown.
"It should be a broken Spatial Escape Bead. Although the King Law is broken, it can still make you hide in layers of space and avoid the large-scale attack of the enemy."
Lagerstroemia Envoy, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. Her voice sounded a little surprised.
"Space Escape Bead?"
Luo Tongtian was slightly stunned when he heard that.
"Not bad. If we can repair it, it will be a pretty good escaping magic treasure."
"I thought you were a fool, but I didn't expect you to have such great fortune and luck. In such a short period of time, you have already gained the ability to kill Half-king warriors. This is unbelievable."
Lagerstroemia Envoy nodded. There was a complicated look in her eyes as she looked at Luo Tongtian.
"I should be able to pass the test and officially become master's disciple now, right?"
After hearing Lagerstroemia Envoy's praise, Luo Tongtian could not help but feel happy and asked with anticipation.
"That's not true. Godless, that old fellow, always does things unreasonably. Just like how you have already completed the task he assigned to you, he did not send anyone to look for you. I also do not understand why."
Lagerstroemia Envoy pondered for a moment and slowly shook her head.
"That old man is not playing with me, right?"
After hearing this, Luo Tongtian said with some frustration.
"Not really!"
"According to my understanding of him, he should be doing something big."
Lagerstroemia Envoy was in a good mood today. She chatted with Luo Tongtian with interest for a while before leaving.
"Hey, that old man really makes people happy and worried!"
Luo Tongtian played with the Spatial Escape Bead in his hand and thought about the old man he met back then. He could not help but secretly smile.
...
...
Unknowingly, it was already close to noon!
Luo Tongtian walked out of the secret room and headed towards the demonized area with his three godfathers accompanying him.
In the northwest direction of Dongfang City, there was a dark forbidden area with a diameter of about three hundred miles.
The ground there was as dark as iron, and there was surging liquid magic on the surface. All the living creatures there had been demonized, and they had become ferocious and easy to kill magic beasts.
The magic formation to the underground space was in the center of the forbidden area.
After occupying the Holy Tower underneath the Dongfang City, the Devil Spirit Realm injected its powerful magic into the ground through the strange node of the Holy Tower, attempting to demonize the entire continent and turn it into a branch of the Devil Spirit Realm.
Unfortunately, this continent was full of spirit energy and was a strange spiritual land. It was extremely difficult for their demonization plan to be carried out here.
Helpless, they had no choice but to take a step back and concentrate their magic on the small piece of land in the Dongfang City, hoping to completely demonize this place and turn it into a passageway for them to march into the continent.
As long as the Devil Spirit army could open up this passageway, they could rely on the Holy Tower's formation to advance and attack. They could also retreat and defend, and they would be able to obtain the convenience of being an innate expert when dealing with this continent.
Luo Tongtian's mission this time was to break into the army of ten million Devil Spirit, find ways to activate the sacred light of Holy Tower, and completely destroy the enemy's plot.
"Father, please wait. I will go in alone."
"You can just activate the formation in two hours. Don't hesitate!"
After arriving at the border of the Forbidden Land of Darkness, Luo Tongtian stood still and smiled at his three father.
"Can you do it alone?"
General Luo asked hesitantly.
"You see..."
Seeing his foster father's concern, Luo Tongtian opened up a small space in the Treasure Gathering Ring.
"Oh my god, there's really a kid like you."
After General Luo scanned the Treasure Gathering Ring with his mind, his facial expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong?"0
The two city lords looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion.
"Half-king, four Half-king!"
General Luo stretched out four fingers and said with a trembling voice.
Upon hearing this, the two city lords trembled and were petrified on the spot.
Seeing the three old men in a daze, Luo Tongtian didn't disturb them. Instead, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards the center of the land of darkness.
This Dark Forbidden Land was extremely dangerous. There were as many as a million magic beasts in it, and there was no lack of spirit level magic beasts. Sometimes, even the Qi of Profound Level magic beasts could be detected.
However, these magic beasts seemed to be afraid of something. They were all hiding underground, and they were trying their best to hide their Qi. This made Luo Tongtian somewhat puzzled.
When he flew above the formation at the center of the Forbidden Land of Darkness, he finally found the answer.
It turned out that there were four soaring shadows there. They were ten miles tall, interweaving between reality and reality. They were like emissaries sent from hell to the human realm, giving off a sinister and terrifying feeling.
