Chapter 1685
Chapter 1685
The second name on the Badlands General Ranking lit up with a dazzling golden light.
It was Wang Yuanshan, a legendary figure of the Wang Family and the current Vice Domain Lord of the Imperial Sky Region.
The reason why the Wang Family could enter the Battlefield of Despair and become one of the Five Great Powers was because of Wang Yuanshan's contributions.
Wang Yuanshan was a figure of the same generation as Long Fei and had occupied this spot for ten thousand years. Today, this name would fade away and Wang Yuanshan's traces in this city would be erased.
Zi Chen would take his place and become the second.
This was a historical moment. No matter when, the second place would be the center of attention.
When Wang Yuanshan entered the second place, the whole city cheered and excited.
But this time, when Zi Chen was about to enter the second place, the whole city was silent. Even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Because everyone, including the person involved, Zi Chen, was staring at the first place of the Desperate Zones General Board. There was a legendary name there, Long Fei.
He had occupied the first place for more than ten thousand years. He was the true number one person in the Imperial Sky Region for ten thousand years.
But today, this name would become a thing of the past.
Everyone in the city held their breaths, including those who were enemies of Zi Chen.
Everyone was very nervous now, but they were suppressing their excitement. The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Fei's name with anticipation.
In the sky, the Black Armor City Lord was also staring at the Desperate Zones General Board.
Mo Sha and Si Ken opened their mouths wide.
Everyone was very nervous, but all of them added together couldn't compare to Zi Chen's.
If he couldn't reach the top this time, then his plan would end in failure.
Facing the Black Armor City Lord and so many Nine Layers Guards in the city, whether they could keep their lives was a problem.
Zi Chen had long expected that there would be experts blocking his path. And the scene in front of him was the key to breaking out of this situation.
Although he didn't know Long Fei's true strength, Zi Chen had a good understanding of himself. Before coming here, he had simulated it many times. With the Perfect Series and two types of energy, he felt that he wouldn't be weaker than Long Fei, who was at the same level.
Now that it had really happened, the lives of Man Shi and the others were completely in his hands. Zi Chen realized that he was actually very nervous.
His heartbeat quickened as he stared at the first position. As an atheist, he even began to pray in his heart.
"Buzz."
As if praying had received the blessings of the gods, the soldier list trembled slightly, and Long Fei's name lit up.
"Hu."
Zi Chen heaved a huge sigh of relief. His tense body instantly loosened, and he almost collapsed. Only then did he realize that his whole body was covered in cold sweat.
Cheers, uproars, and roars rang out in the next moment.
The entire city cheered. Everyone was very excited.
Looking at Long Fei, who was gradually fading away, and looking at Zi Chen's name that was gradually solidifying and shining brightly, the new generation replacing the old.
Following this, the history of the Battlefield of Despair would be written by Zi Chen.
Man Shi and the others shouted at the top of their lungs. This was a historical moment that would have a great impact on the entire Royal Sky Region.
"So what if you're number one? Being number one on the General Rankings doesn't mean you're number one on the Marshal Rankings."
An indifferent voice rang out amidst the cheers of the entire city.
This voice wasn't loud, but it clearly spread to every corner of the city and into everyone's ears.
The clamor in the city stopped, and the cheers of the entire city instantly disappeared. The entire city became quiet again, and the sound of breathing couldn't be heard.
Dead silence.
Only then did everyone remember that there was still an opponent waiting for Zi Chen.
This opponent wasn't an eighth layer, nor an ordinary ninth layer, but a peak ninth layer. He was only half a step away from the Emperor Realm.
Although this half a step might be impossible for him to take in his entire life, the peak was still the peak. He definitely wasn't someone that a mere Zi Chen could fight against.
Moreover, this was a City Lord, one of the three cities in the Royal Sky Region. His battle prowess was naturally much stronger than those of the same level.
If the twelve of them worked together, they might not have a chance of winning. They might be able to escape.
However, if there were twelve of them, how many would die and how many could escape?
With a flash of light, silhouettes appeared one after another, standing around Zi Chen. They were the eleven people from before.
The eleven of them raised their heads, their eyes filled with resolute killing intent.
Obviously, they all felt threatened by this City Lord.
If they wanted to live, they could only fight to the death.
This was the Battlefield of Despair.
Apart from people like Long Fei, who dared to claim to be invincible?
However, even Long Fei at the peak of his life was still troublesome.
For example, last time, when the Skeletal Dragon Ship appeared, Long Fei stopped. Although some people said that there were other factors, more people believed that it was because of fear.
Feeling the killing intent in the sky, Zi Chen's expression was still calm. Since he had successfully reached the top, he wouldn't be afraid even if Xu Hou came here, let alone a mere City Lord.
One had to know that Zi Chen's enemy wasn't the City Lord, but the expert on the list, Xu Hou.
Beside the list, the old man finally revealed a smile when he saw Zi Chen in first place. The threat of the black-armored City Lord caused a trace of dissatisfaction to flash across his face. He glanced at the black-armored City Lord, and his gaze landed on Zi Chen. He saw how calm Zi Chen was.
Therefore, a look of interest appeared on his face, and he decided to watch the show.
Many people present saw Zi Chen's calmness, but they were all puzzled. They couldn't understand how Zi Chen could be so confident when there was such a huge gap between them.
Zi Chen's eyes gradually turned cold. "You want to kill me, so I won't be polite to you."
The black-armored City Lord sneered and said, "You're boasting shamelessly."
A blood-colored crystal appeared in Zi Chen's hand. There were many fine lines on the crystal.
Many people present recognized the blood-colored crystal. Someone immediately exclaimed, "Summoning Crystal!"
The blood-colored crystal was also called the Summoning Crystal. It was a unique benefit of the Zhanwu Continent in this world. It could summon something from the Domain World.
At this moment, seeing Zi Chen take out the Summoning Crystal, many people guessed Zi Chen's intention. Obviously, he was so confident because of this Summoning Crystal.
Therefore, they were all very curious about what the blood-colored crystal could summon.
A powerful weapon.
Furthermore, it was a peculiar item.
Everyone was curious, but some people were puzzled.
If Zi Chen was so confident, why didn't he take out the Summoning Crystal earlier? Why did he deliberately come here and climb to the top of the Ranking of Generals?
In their eyes, this was completely unnecessary.
Because if he summoned that thing, he couldn't climb to the top after killing the City Lord in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, someone thought of a problem.
Could it be that the condition to complete the Summoning Crystal was to become the top of the Ranking of Generals?
This was the only way to explain why Zi Chen came here, why he insisted on climbing to the top, and why he took out the Summoning Crystal only now.
If this was the case, then everyone could hardly imagine what the thing that needed to be first on the Ranking of Generals could be summoned.
A look of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he nodded in realization.
In the sky, the confident black-armored City Lord's face gradually turned gloomy. He was not stupid. Of course, he guessed the reason.
Zi Chen had already crushed the Summoning Crystal. The power of the laws erupted and completely enveloped him.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to make a move. Unless they had the confidence to resist the punishment of the laws.
Naturally, the black-armored City Lord did not have that confidence. He could only watch with a grim face to see what Zi Chen could summon.
The others were curious as well.
Under the shroud of the laws, a silver light appeared. Within the silver light were a series of withered bones that did not seem like anything good.
But if one were to look at the entire situation, these were wings made up of withered bones. They could be called Bone Wings.
"This is …!"
Looking at the six wings on Zi Chen's back, the old man's pupils dilated. For the first time, his expression changed drastically, "Utmost Treasure of the Thunder race, Bone Wings of the Thunder God! Eh? Something doesn't seem right."
Not everyone recognized the Heaven's Thunder Wings. But, there were quite a number of people who did. Soon, exclamations rang out one after another.
"It's the Heaven's Thunder Wings! The Heaven's Thunder Wings of the Thunder race!"
"To think that Zi Chen would summon the Heaven's Thunder Wings! That's right! He had been using the power of thunder all this while! Seems like Zi Chen is from the Thunder race!"
"I heard that the Thunder race has been destroyed and is on the decline. To think that such an existence would appear again!"
The voices of discussion continued.
Knowing the Heavenly Thunder Wings, they naturally knew that the Nine Lightning Fleeting Flashes was known as the fastest footwork in the world.
"So it's called the Heaven's Thunder Wings now." The old man sighed.
"To think that it's the Heaven's Thunder Wings. Hehe, this is going to be a good show."
Seeing the Heaven's Thunder Wings, Man Shi was completely relieved. He crossed his arms and smiled coldly at the black-armored City Lord, "Let's see what this old thing will do next."
Shuntian Dao shook his head and clicked his tongue, "I didn't expect Zi Chen to summon the Heaven's Thunder Wings. But it seems that the price is too high."
Indeed, only the number one could summon the Heaven's Thunder Wings. It was obvious how high the price was.
Since Long Fei had been number one for ten thousand years, of course, he had his own strengths. Even Shuntian Dao, who had refined the Devouring God Seal, dared not say that he could suppress Long Fei.
Perhaps only Zi Chen, who was at the same level, could push Long Fei down.
The others knew Zi Chen very well. Naturally, they knew that Zi Chen had the Heaven's Thunder Wings. With the Heaven's Thunder Wings in hand, Zi Chen could be said to be like a tiger that had grown wings. Eliminating the black-armored City Lord was really not a problem at all.
The group was no longer nervous. They were completely relieved and chatted and laughed.
In the light of the rules, the Heaven's Thunder Wings completely appeared. According to Zi Chen's will, it turned into a thunder force and poured into Zi Chen's back.
The Heaven's Thunder Wings completely merged into his body. The light of the rules slowly dissipated. Zi Chen's back flashed with silver light and six wings spread out.
At this moment, Zi Chen's body flashed with golden light. The thunder wings on his back emitted silver light. He was like a thunder god.
In his eyes, the originally blurry space rules became clear at this moment.
In his line of sight, every space was so obvious. Zi Chen even saw four or five space nodes at a glance, which could allow him to reach the black-armored City Lord in one step.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the black-armored War God. His whole body surged with fighting spirit, "The battle begins now."
