One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 630 - 499: Liao Beast Escapes Trouble, The Era Has Changed!

For a millennium since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always been abundant in martial virtue, and has committed acts such as city slaughter and nation annihilation numerous times. It is precisely because of such illustrious military achievements that it possesses tens of millions of square kilometers of vast territory. Yet over these years of warfare, the Zhou Dynasty has also suffered its share of setbacks. Skull Plain was one such instance, and the current Outer Sea is another.

The reason why the Outer Sea proved indigestible lies mainly in two aspects.

On one hand, the tribes of the Outer Sea are adept in warfare, with no shortage of strong individuals at the Earth Immortal Realm.

Moreover, due to the special environment of the Outer Sea, there are many Gu Insects with mysterious functions. During combat, they often exhibit unexpected effects; thus, overpowering stronger foes is not unusual, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

On the other hand, there is the Mythical Battlefield.

The Mythical Battlefield can appear on land, and naturally, it can also emerge within the sea.

If it's the former, one could still rely on individuals of the Heavenly King Level to forcefully suppress it. However, if it's the latter, due to the great distance and late discovery, once a Mythical Battlefield emerges in the deep sea, it often signifies a disaster. The Chaotic Power stemming from the Longevity Heaven will expand disorderly across the vast deep sea, eventually leading to the contamination of the entire ocean.

In this world, there are two large continents to the north and south, and for a Heavenly King powerhouse, crossing the sea under normal circumstances is not challenging.

But in reality, it is not the case, as there are often seven or eight different Mythical Battlefields scattered across the ocean. Attempting to traverse the sea is nearly equivalent to surfing in the Longevity Heaven. A moment of inattention could drag one into the chaotic currents. Even Su Heng fears such an event; he might not die, but could become lost in the vast Longevity Heaven, and upon returning, find the world changed beyond recognition.

That is why, after the Descender concealed themselves on the other continent, the news about them gradually got suppressed, eventually becoming completely unknown to the world.

Among the strong individuals of past generations,

Only someone who had experienced the passage of long years like the Longevity King would slowly start to notice some clues.

Because the entire ocean got contaminated, the cities along the coastal line would suffer invasions by Sea Beasts. Some of these beasts are the creatures from the ocean floor, mutated by the power of Longevity Heaven. Others are pure-blooded demons that are born directly from the Mythical Battlefield. The former is somewhat manageable, but the latter, without a doubt, poses a great threat to the entire Imperial.

To deal with such situations,

Over a span of a thousand years, modeled after the Mythical Battlefield, fortress cities were successively built along the coastline.

And White Stone City, located near Moon Lake Bay, is one of these newly constructed fortresses.

Compared to other sea-defense fortresses, Bai Shi City boasts exceptionally beautiful scenery.

The pollution here is not too severe, and it has maintained the natural beauty of the coastline.

It is now noon, with bright yet not scorching sunlight. Looking out through the crenels on the wall, you can see fine white sand as delicate as snow, uneven greenery, and waves of dark blue crashing against the shore, leaving behind large patches of white foam. Massive palm trees swayed in the wind, while the town in the distance was dotted with houses featuring white walls and red tiles, and high-rise towers.

Birds fly across the sky flapping their wings, and even a few whales can be seen surfacing below the cliffs.

Yet, Andre found something unusual in this peaceful environment.

He is forty-two this year, with rough skin and brilliantly sharp, black eyes, now intently staring at the distant sky. As a border guard, it is his duty to relay information promptly upon spotting any anomalies.

After the Empress ascended to the throne, she combined grace with severity.

The parasites leeching off the Empire were secretly purged, and new policies were thoroughly implemented from top to bottom.

Andre had originally held little hope for his own future training, but with the influx of resources, in just over ten days, his long-stagnant realm achieved breakthroughs one after another, even giving hum a sense of accumulating thinness and bursting forth. His heart was aflame, feeling that a man in his forties is like a flower in full bloom, and now was the best time to fight for the Empress with all his loyalty.

Therefore, even during the drowsy midday, Andre remained as vigilant as a hawk, not slackening in the least.

It was this that allowed him to notice the anomaly.

The tide was receding, the rhythm that precedes a tsunami.

White Stone City had a Heavenly King Realm general stationed within; a simple tsunami naturally wouldn't pose much of a disaster, the crucial matter lay in what hid behind the tsunami.

In the distant sky, a straight black line had appeared as if a curtain had been drawn, heading straight in the direction of White Stone City.

The rolling dark clouds sparked with blue-purple lightning, and distant thunder could be faintly heard.

Andre felt his breathing grow heavy; the air pressure around him was dropping.

He woke up his resting companion and arranged for them to immediately relay the message, while he continued to observe from atop the city wall. Before long, passionate drum beats and horn sounds rose together, and signal towers' smoke was Ignited, rising like black pillars, straight into the clouds.

By this point, the entire sky was shrouded by low-hanging leaden clouds, the sea breeze howled, as if countless invisible blades were striking Andre.

An odd, sweet fishiness filled his mouth and nose, and his armor clattered in the wind.

"Roar!"

With a roar as if coming from primordial times,

The pitch-black sea exploded as those monsters surged forth from the ocean depths.
