Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

They came to a secluded little garden, which was a piece of pure land that Galantina used to visit. It was surrounded by rockery and lush flowers and trees.

This place is already the inner city of the imperial city, and every brick and tile is very luxurious and exquisite. Ying Li asked Galantina to help him find a secluded place with few people. He wanted to absorb the new fragments quietly, so that he would be stronger and more confident when speaking later.

Hiding behind a hill, Galantina took out the fragment from the storage device. This little thing had helped her before. This was all thanks to the "Life Spirit Crossing Technique". After all, she was using it with it in her pocket, and the fragment was already covered with her demonic energy.

The moment Ying Li took the fragment from Galantina, the scene of Galantina's death in her previous life suddenly appeared in his mind. He wondered what she had been through, why was she so weak and in such a miserable state?

That state was the same as mine, she was on the verge of death and had to use this method to be reborn. It seemed that even if she didn't want to cross time and space to reunite with me, she had to use this taboo to prolong her life.

Seeing Ying Li looking embarrassed, Galantina tilted her head in confusion. He always seemed very happy every time he absorbed fragments, so what happened this time?

Crack-like demonic energy appeared on the fragments, and continued to flow into the main body of the Eclipse Sword. The cracked part of the blade only glowed with light, with no intention of repairing, but the defects in the hilt and guard began to repair themselves.

In his mind, countless dark flames gathered together to form a restless, expanding ball of energy that was ready to explode, and then suddenly smashed forward with the force of a lion attacking a rabbit.

boom--

The terrifying energy fluctuations exploded in Ying Li's spiritual world. Circles of earth-shaking impacts swept through every inch of his spiritual sea, making him look dazed and almost faint.

"Netherworld Sword Technique - Fifth Style - Darkness"

This scene is the full picture of this move, which is a super-strong single-target attack in the "Seven Netherworld Styles" that concentrates strength to strike one place.

Of course, this "single target" is not that "single target". It's just that compared to the super-large-scale attacks such as "Blade Tide" and "Sky Amber", "Darkness" is considered a single target attack.

The attack range of "Soul Abyss" is controllable, and "Ghost Embers", as the basis of all moves, can be excluded. After all, as long as Ying Li mobilizes a little magic power to attack, it can be regarded as using "Ghost Embers".

I thought I would have to go through a series of tests like in the "Black Prison", but I didn't expect it to be so easy. When he came to his senses, the first thing he looked at was Galantina. The only explanation was her.

Ying Li asked, "You helped me?"

Galantina, however, was confused. She had only touched the fragments before and went over the scene before her death in her mind. How could she be asked to "help"?

"No? I, I don't remember. Could it be that before I died...hiss! I can't remember. It gives me a headache just thinking about it."

Seeing that she had a splitting headache and squatted down in pain, Ying Li quickly injected a stream of dark fire into her body and patted her shoulder.

"Don't make it hard on yourself. You might find out everything when you meet Crablan."

The answer may be right in front of us. Galantina's "help" may be the fatal injuries on her body in the picture!

……

Imperial City-Central Palace——

The white jade-paved ground shone with a warm light, and a mysterious wisp of mist enveloped the entire palace. Civil and military officials from various political circles and military regions came and went in the tall and majestic castle, making this place particularly lively.

The roof of the temple is covered with purple glazed tiles, the spire tower reaches up to the sky, and the magic orb on the top shines in the clouds. The outer wall is covered with stone statues and reliefs of various monsters, symbolizing the grand scene of the demons dancing wildly, as well as ancient and mysterious legends.

The eaves carved from sandalwood look like phoenixes spreading their wings, the floating windows carved from green tiles look like floating windows, and the wall panels made of jade are inlaid with colored glass, which, under the spectrum of the magic orb on the dome, embellishes the entire building with colorful colors.

There is also a circle of temple columns outside the building, and a coiled dragon sculpture connects the two columns. The dragon head sticks out of the eaves, and the dragon tail goes straight into the temple. The practicality and decoration are perfectly combined into one, which increases the imperial aura of the temple.

A cloud of black mist landed in the large courtyard in front of the palace. Ying Li and Galantina emerged from it and landed on a mermaid fountain in a princess hug.

The place is dotted with fountains of various shapes, and in the surrounding gardens, various rare flowers bloom on the carefully manicured lawns, exuding fragrance.

"Wow, this place is much better. Before, there was only a fountain and some poplar trees." Galanthena praised.

Ying Li said "hmm". He chose to settle here because of the environment here. Yes, this Carla Brown knows the importance of greening.

The sirens sounded again. When the two broke through the outer layer of thick fog, Ying Li felt something strange. It turned out to be a surveillance network.

The patrolling guards immediately sent half of their forces to provide support. This was the center of the empire; without permission, not even a fly would be allowed in, let alone a wanted criminal.

Almost in an instant, a large number of elite demon generals appeared around the fountain, and various formations were laid out on the surrounding roads.

"Forest of Thorns", "Frozen Tomb", "Purgatory Sea"...

When this restrictive, high-damage killing formation appeared, their sorcerers had superb skills and were proficient in the techniques. They accomplished the task almost the moment they raised their hands, and were determined to stop Ying Li from moving forward.

"give it to me!"

Galantina wanted to take the credit again, but Ying Li shook his head. In front of him was Crabrand, Galantina's father. He hoped that the two of them could go together.

Ying Li said loudly: "Get out of the way immediately, or I won't be able to show mercy in my next move!"

After finishing the job, Ying Li still had to rush to fight the Iron Blood Alliance. Time was running out and he was gradually losing his patience.

"Don't be so rampant, you evil cultist. We will never let you get any closer to the palace!" The commander of the Imperial Guard, Lu Daofu, stepped forward and scolded with a glare.

Even though he was only at the first level of Ghost King Realm, he could not give up his mission of defending the palace. He raised his sword high, issued an attack order, and the entire army went into attack.

"Huh, how brave!"

Since they were prepared to die, Ying Li didn't need to be polite. He raised the Eclipse Sword above his head and instantly condensed a large amount of demonic energy on the blade, and continued to apply pressure to concentrate it.

"Darkness"!!

The sword swung vertically, and the focused sword energy attacked head-on. All that was left in everyone's vision was oppressive darkness. They could feel the fear from their hearts suddenly increase, and the devastating magic power was about to engulf everything -

"Be merciful!"

The majestic voice was transmitted through the palace to the courtyard. The low shout like a bell made the guards tremble in their hearts. A dazzling golden light shone on their bodies. The huge dark sword energy was actually dispersed by the layers of golden light.

Ying Li could feel that the magic power contained in it had already reached the level of the late Ghost King Realm. Then a dragon roar fell from the sky, and a man wearing golden armor and looking majestic descended in the center of the battlefield.

Seeing this man appear, Galantina's body and mind trembled at the same time. For a moment, she felt mixed emotions and subconsciously leaned behind Ying Li.

Ying Li smiled faintly, removed all his authority and walked forward confidently, surrounding Galantina with the "Sea of ​​Sparks". He also held her slightly sweaty little hand with his powerful big hand, trying his best to ease her uneasy mood.

"Your Majesty, welcome! Thank you for your help, we are deeply ashamed!"

Lu Daofu knelt on one knee, and the guards behind him also knelt down in unison.

The first emperor of the Eternal Night Empire, the King of the Night Elves - Krabron Gilmantis Ye Linlang, he finally appeared.

"No need to bow, generals. You are no match for that man. Return to your original positions. We have nothing to worry about tonight!"

Krablank is not a cruel tyrant. He treats every Eternal Night person with a friendly face, giving people an extremely comfortable and reliable first impression.

Ying Li disagreed. Only he and Galantina knew that the monarch was just doing some superficial work. The real Crablanc was a very utilitarian, ruthless and power-conscious person.

"Hey! Crablon, I haven't seen you for a thousand years. You have really changed a lot. But why haven't you reached the Demon Lord Realm yet?"

Ying Li was still the same as always, speaking the most arrogant words in a low, calm and indifferent tone.

However, Krablanc still maintained his original faint smile and elegant manners, the black and gold imperial robe on his body fluttering without wind, and the pressure of the late Ghost King realm spread throughout the entire courtyard.

Krablanc was in no hurry to reply, but instead used simple magic energy to test the other party. He knew that Ying Li was not even one-tenth as good as he was in the past, but his side was receiving bad news one after another, which forced him to re-examine Ying Li.

"Humph~"

With the activation of the Nether Flame Art, the purple sea of ​​fire that devoured everything reappeared, and the surrounding petals began to dance in the stronger gale.

To retract the momentum first is to use courtesy before force. After all, coming here rashly is an act of invasion, and Ying Li's original intention was not to cause trouble.

Since the opponent wanted to meet him with a fight, Ying Li could not show weakness. In this encounter, he used all his skills, using the early stage of Ghost King Realm to fight against the late stage of Ghost King Realm. At least on the surface, Ying Li did not show any signs of weakness.

It turned out to be the right decision to try again after absorbing the fragments. If he was still at the level of just entering the first stage of the Ghost King Realm, he would probably have been suppressed to the point where he couldn't even stand up straight.

Although each level of the Ghost King Realm is as different as heaven and earth, this absorption only allowed him to go from the entry level to the peak, and did not break through to the second level, but it was enough to deal with this level of temptation.

Thanks to the characteristics of the Nether Flame, Crablan was unable to detect the truth in depth. He could only see from the surface that the opponent was as strong as himself. Little did he know that Ying Li had already used most of his strength.

Crabron was somewhat stunned. Was he really only a first-level Ghost King? He was indeed a former Demon Lord. He was truly a genius.

The next moment, the two opposing pressures disappeared at the same time. This might be a tacit understanding between the masters. There was no need to keep pestering. Then, Crabron took the initiative to greet him:

"It's been a long time since we last met. Your Excellency the Dark Flame Demon Lord, or... the Western Ghost Emperor - Ying Li? And my daughter Galantina, who ran away from home for decades, actually brought back such an outstanding man. It's worth the trip."

Galantina bit her lip. She was too embarrassed to say what she had been thinking about for a long time on the way. She opened her mouth and closed it again and again, holding Ying Li's sleeve even tighter.

Seeing her uneasy look, Clabron just smiled indifferently and didn't care. He took a step sideways and stretched out his right hand towards the palace behind him.

"Please, follow me into the palace for a chat."

"please."

Ying Li was not polite either, as this man used to be his subordinate.

The three of them walked through the courtyard and had to cross a crystal clear river before entering the palace.

Krablank introduced that this is artificial magic water, which follows the "magic bathing practice method" of the demons. The original practice of practicing while soaking in hot springs was changed to practicing at the bottom of the river. Of course, most of the time is spent on viewing.

There are many floating bookshelves placed intermittently on both sides of the river. This is also an open-air library. Every book is a carefully bound magic book, and the pages are made of waterproof paper. The magic controller can study magic while diving.

There are some windows on the walls near the palace, with various musical instruments placed inside. They play various soft classical music by themselves using artificial intelligence technology, adding a tranquil atmosphere to this luxurious place.

After passing through the gate decorated with ancient trees and wreaths, the three entered the palace. The first thing that caught their eyes was a huge jade carved railing, emitting a soft glow under the light.

The walls of the palace are made of finely polished marble. The spacious halls are magnificent and decorated with exquisite carvings everywhere.

A large number of artworks are displayed along the walls, bordered by bulletproof and magic-proof glass, and are constantly modified and observed by various artists.

The ceiling of the hall is decorated with gorgeous crystal chandeliers, which sparkle like stars in the night sky and cast soft light; the floor is made of mirror-smooth marble, reflecting an elegant and luxurious atmosphere; in the corridor, rows of golden brocade curtains hang quietly, soft to the touch and inlaid with shining magic minerals.

All kinds of high-end luxury home decoration can be seen everywhere. Rare minerals mined from all over the country are the rouge and foundation for decorating the imperial palace. Just digging a piece of floor tile here is enough to make ordinary people rich overnight.

Among the people coming and going were soldiers, gardeners, politicians and royal relatives. They were dressed much more luxuriously than ordinary people and always maintained a superior look on their faces.

Only when they passed by Crablan would they open their eyes wide and look at each other directly, and then show great etiquette.

There were some people who caught Ying Li's attention. They were wearing dark military uniforms, windbreakers covered with medals, and military caps with gold stars on their heads.

Thinking back, after taking off the coat and military cap, it seemed to be the same military uniform as Kuss, but the color was slightly different, which should be the difference between the navy, army and air force.

Krablanc introduced with a bit of pride that black represents strength and solemnity. This is the color of the uniforms of the Eternal Night Empire’s army. The Eternal Night Empire is also a strong army country.

The navy and air force uniforms also have a hint of black, especially the navy which is a dark blue close to the army, and the air force which is black and white.

Going further inside, in addition to the classical-style interior decoration, the palace is also filled with high-tech facilities. Cleaning is done by robots, and only tasks that require careful care, such as pruning plants and raising pets, are handled by humans.

Krablank led Ying Li to his own bedroom, the "Night Charm Palace", which was deep inside the imperial palace. After passing through countless high-end and luxurious palaces, it was rare to see such a peaceful and quiet room.

The exterior walls here are constructed of black marble and many precious minerals in cool colors. The design and layout can also block the glare and noise from the outside world. It is the palace where Carla Brown rests.

"Just sit anywhere. No one will disturb you here. Mr. Ying Li, where should we start talking about?"

Krablanc sat casually behind a tea table, making tea and talking in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

Ying Li held Galantina's hand, sat on two camphorwood chairs side by side, and went straight to the point:

"A few days ago, one of my former subordinates, A Jiao, your wife, and her tribe were attacked by the Iron Blood Alliance. Let's talk about everything you know."
