Chapter 1056: Foreign Invasion
Chapter 1056: Foreign Invasion
September 25th, 2017
Bei Feng, Enigma Gate Arena.
The malevolent spirit that emerged from the Mystic Gate, its power growing with every drop of human blood it devoured, continued to rage uncontrollably.
With each death of the heavily armored guards, its power surged, inflating like a balloon.
When this creature first appeared, its strength was around 90, relying solely on its elusive path and terrifying speed to defeat Cheng Jin.
But within a few minutes, its power had already reached the threshold of breaking through 100.
Not only did its power grow, but its physical form also rapidly transformed during this process. In just a few minutes, the creature went from a skeletal, ghostly figure to a young man with a pair of red eyes, surprisingly handsome.
As he fully transformed, a long-forgotten feeling surged within him.
The gentle breeze brushing past his ears and the faint, almost imperceptible, scent of blood lingering at his nose tip made everything feel incredibly wonderful.
"Indeed, coming out of this gate was the right choice. There were so many people on the other side, I wouldn't have gotten anything good. But here, everything is mine!"
"Fresh, living insects, pitiful humans, wail in agony!"
Madness and joy flashed in the handsome youth's blood-red eyes, and he lifted his hands with a slightly neurotic gesture. The aura around him became even more terrifying.
In an instant, the blood-red sky seemed to intensify, and an invisible wave spread like a ripple, engulfing nearly half of Bei Feng in a moment. It was then that Sun Ce and the guests' faces paled.
As the guests' expressions changed, their spirits dampened, but the young man before them was in an ecstatic mood.
In his eyes, he was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice barrel, surrounded by 'food'. With his strength rapidly increasing, he felt an insatiable hunger: "Let this hundred-mile radius become a wasteland!"
As he spoke, the malevolent spirit prepared to indulge in its feast, but at that moment, a voice filled with boundless rage echoed.
"Die!"
A golden hand appeared above the malevolent spirit's head.
The instant the golden hand appeared, the spirit's smile froze. What about the promised feast? Why did this hand appear now?
Blood-red flames erupted from the spirit, and a terrifying aura rose from its body as its face contorted in extreme madness. However, it didn't intend to resist the golden hand; it only wanted to escape.
But before this golden hand, even escape was impossible.
Despite its desperate struggle, all efforts were in vain. The golden hand steadily descended, crushing the malevolent spirit beneath it and firmly grasping it.
Initially, the golden hand was about to crush the spirit to death, but it halted at the last moment.
Although the golden hand didn't crush the spirit, it didn't stop there.
The golden hand tightened its grip on the spirit, transforming into a golden fist that violently slammed into the open Mystic Gate.
The first punch caused the gate to tremble, and the already dilapidated Mystic Gate seemed to crumble further.
Then came the second punch, the third punch...
The golden fist rained down relentlessly, delivering thirteen punches in total. The final blow completely shattered the Mystic Gate!
After shattering the gate, the golden fist flipped over, casually striking and killing all the malevolent spirits that had emerged. Once it finished, the golden fist carried the captured spirit and appeared in the Celestial Prison.
As the Malevolent Spirit was thrown into the Celestial Prison by the Golden Hand, the latter finally dissipated.
At the same time as the disappearance of the Golden Hand, in the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Hai Kong finally removed his hand from the Imperial Ancestral Cauldron.
It was clear that the Golden Hand was a manifestation of Lu Hai Kong's power, or more accurately, the divine might of the Imperial Ancestral Cauldron.
After all, it was a divine artifact of the Emperor, and with Lu Hai Kong's nearly two hundred thousand units of fortune, it was only natural for it to unleash such terrifying energy.
Just as Lu Hai Kong withdrew his hand from the cauldron, a system notification appeared.
[You captured the Foreigner from Beyond (????) and obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest!]
[You killed 142 Crimson Demons and obtained a Legendary Treasure Chest!]
[You successfully destroyed a Mystic Gate and received a Heaven and Earth Blessing!]
Three system notifications rang out, announcing the acquisition of a Mythical Treasure Chest, a Legendary Treasure Chest, and a Heaven and Earth Blessing that Lu Hai Kong had never obtained before. However, despite this significant gain, Lu Hai Kong's face showed no hint of joy.
This was not only because Cheng Jin, who had been with him for years, had met an untimely end during the recent Mystic Gate incident, nor was it due to the hundred or so Heavy Armored Guards who were slain. It wasn't even because his perfect wedding had been slightly disrupted; instead, a sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.
Lu Hai Kong felt that something was amiss. It wasn't just the sudden turn of events at the Mystic Gate or the unusual system rewards; he had a vague feeling that there was an even bigger conspiracy at play.
In a 1619 book, a bar, and a mistake-free version!
This sense of unease prevented Lu Hai Kong, who was in a furious state, from delivering the fatal blow. He had many questions he wanted to ask the Malevolent Spirit!
As Lu Hai Kong removed his hand from the Imperial Ancestral Cauldron and was about to take action, his movements suddenly froze. At that moment, another system notification appeared.
[Urgent Forced Advancement Task: Advance to Sovereign, Foreign Invasion!

...
As Lu Hai Kong's task appeared, countless people in the Great Han Empire looked up.
In Beifeng City, a middle-aged man polishing his longsword; an old man holding a spear on a mountain in Youzhou; Zhang Jue, who had just put down his book in a certain Taoist temple; a Great Scholar in a certain academy; and some ethereal and sage-like Taoists all raised their heads and turned their gazes towards Youzhou.
In Huaxiang City, an old man who had been following Old Grandfather Gongsun around and doing nothing productive, whom Lu Hai Kong had met upon his arrival in this world, also lifted his head. His expression was more complex than the others, and after glancing around, he sighed and lowered his head.
In a faint voice, he seemed to mutter, "It has begun..."
At the same time, at the massive Mystic Gate in Shanhaiguan, Youzhou, Qin Mu's face wore an extremely cold smile.
The Mystic Gate opened, and countless Malevolent Spirits and demons poured out.
The azure sky turned completely red...
