The effect of the spatial gate's fusion was too great. Powerhouses kept appearing in the sky, flapping their wings and landing on the ruins.
Ye Xing, Yun Tianqi, and the others had been following Linfeng closely. Now, they sat on the ground ten meters away from everyone and started absorbing spirit power and life force.
This spirit power tide was not helpful to kings, but it was very beneficial to them.
"Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi are here too. They followed us not long after we left the sports center."
Yu Qiao was originally an early-stage Rank-6, but he had broken through to an upper-stage Rank-6, crossing two stages in a row.
It only took ten minutes, but it saved him half a year of cultivation time. The effect was far better than the Pool of Spirit Power baptism.
Forcefully breaking through in a short period of time overloaded his meridians, causing him to be unable to continue. As for the demon spirit in his soul sea, although it had grown, it had not advanced.
Bored, Yu Qiao began to observe the surroundings and spoke from time to time.
Linfeng followed his gaze and glanced at Yun Tianqi's location. He did not say anything, but he approved of Ye Xing and the others.
These professional players were not just talented.
Those who could follow them out of the sports center were at least not people who were afraid of death.
Such people had their own persistence and were much more courageous than those who came later.
Because they arrived early, except for Linfeng, the others had finished their breakthroughs and stopped absorbing spirit power and life force.
Linfeng had reached the peak of Rank-6. He did not absorb spirit power but focused on absorbing life force.
After absorbing a large amount of life force, the Arowana had successfully evolved and reached Rank-6.
Similar to the Sixth Transformation of the Ichthyosaur Transformation, the evolved Arowana was not only more slender, but it was also covered in dragon scales and had a pair of silver wings.
The Arowana's successful evolution meant that Linfeng could absorb another soul skill.
Life force was a good thing that could promote the Arowana's evolution.
Although the Arowana was full, Linfeng continued to absorb life force.
As long as he did not die from overeating, it was good to absorb more.
Linfeng was different from Yunkai and the others.
The Arowana's advancement was equivalent to evolution, which was extremely difficult. Yunkai and the others absorbed demon spirits from the Earth Ranking, so the advancement of their demon spirits was natural. The difficult part was absorbing the soul skills they wanted.
"Xie Yixiao and the others are here too."
Suddenly, Yu Qiao saw a group of people and spoke in a mocking tone.
Almost all of these latecomers were lured here after learning of the benefits of the Spirit Energy Tide.
Ye Xing also noticed Xie Yixiao's arrival.
However, this time, he did not show too much enthusiasm and only nodded in greeting. Yun Tianqi even sneered with disdain in his eyes.
Yun Tianqi wasn't the only one; a few other people also revealed mocking expressions. Although they didn't say anything, there was a trace of repulsion in their eyes, as if they disdained to be associated with him.
Xie Yixiao didn't care about the other people's attitudes or even their mocking words.
After all, they were originally opponents of different teams.
However, the slight change in Ye Xing's attitude made Xie Yixiao, who was just about to greet him, change his expression slightly. Although he quickly recovered, he still felt very uncomfortable.
They were both All-Stars and belonged to the same team. They spent every day together, training and living together. He and Ye Xing weren't just teammates, they were close brothers.
Among the main team members, he and Ye Xing were the youngest. Both of them were talented, so they got along better with each other.
He was one year younger than Ye Xing, and Ye Xing took better care of him.
Their age, strength, and status were similar, so the two of them acknowledged each other more.
Now, the slight change in Ye Xing's attitude made Xie Yixiao feel as if he was about to lose this brother.
This feeling was far more uncomfortable than being injured.
There were 17 people in Xie Yixiao's group, and they were all professional players. Some of them were a bit embarrassed and were even too embarrassed to look at Ye Xing.
After all, Ye Xing had invited them before, but they silently refused because of their own safety.
Now that they saw benefits appear, they were indeed a bit embarrassed.
Perhaps because of this awkwardness, they didn't choose to join Ye Xing's group. Instead, they casually found a place to sit down and began to absorb spiritual energy.
"Haha, a bunch of cowards."
Someone laughed, his tone full of mockery.
"Alright, don't say too much. Everyone has their own ideas."
Everyone has their own opinions, "Ye Xing said slowly with a slight frown.
Although he was a bit disappointed in Xie Yixiao's group, he didn't think too much about it and wouldn't reject them joining.
Ye Xing didn't know that the change in his attitude actually revealed a sense of rejection, but he didn't show it.
"The fusion of the spatial door means that the aliens are about to invade. Are we still going to suppress our strength?"
Yun Tianqi didn't continue to pay attention to Xie Yixiao and asked Ye Xing.
Ye Xing was also slightly taken aback. He thought for a moment but didn't know how to answer.
Professional players entered the Glory of Glory Professional Alliance for nothing more than fame and fortune.
As one of the Ten All-Stars, he and Yun Tianqi already had both fame and fortune. Even if they left the Professional Alliance now, it wouldn't affect them much.
He and Yun Tianqi were currently at the peak of the Skysoar Realm. With their strength and talent, they could break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
Now, they were suppressing their strength in order to participate in the Battle of Glory.
But now that the aliens were about to invade, would the Battle of Glory still be held as scheduled?
Would the Professional Alliance still exist?
If the Battle of Glory didn't exist, then it would naturally be better to directly break through.
The stronger they were, the safer they would be.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Even if the aliens invade, they won't be able to start a war in the short term. The Battle of Glory will probably still be held. We've worked so hard for so long, so we can't let all our previous efforts go to waste."
Ye Xing thought for a moment and said.
Yun Tianqi nodded. It made sense.
The Battle of Glory was very important to them and also to the country. They couldn't give up so easily.
The intensity of the Spirit Energy Tide was getting smaller and smaller, but it still showed no signs of stopping. At this moment, people were continuously joining.
Among these people, apart from professional players, there were also many important figures.
As the news of the spatial gates fusing spread throughout the country and even the world, Shang Jing became the focus of the world.
This spatial gate fusion not only affected Shang Jing, but also the whole world.
This was because the fusion of the spatial gates represented the aliens' probing before the invasion. It meant that a large-scale war was about to break out between the two worlds.
This was far more terrifying than a world war.
Powerful people and important figures constantly entered Shang Jing from other bases and appeared outside the space portal.
"Apostles have appeared."
At this moment, three figures appeared on the horizon, attracting Bu Zheng's attention. His tone was solemn.
Apostles were far stronger than ordinary Kings. This was a publicly acknowledged fact.
They were powerful and had the "Pure Land" as their backer. Thus, they acted even more unscrupulously.
Bu Zheng didn't care much about ordinary Kings, but it was different if they were apostles. He didn't have the confidence to defeat them.
Moreover, three apostles had appeared at the same time.
Apostles!
Hearing this, Lin Feng also looked at the sky.
At this moment, one of his identities was an apostle candidate.
In the future, if there were no accidents, he would also become an apostle.
The three figures were still on the horizon, but they soon appeared above the ruins. They didn't land but floated in the air.
Lin Feng observed the three apostles.
One of them was a young man wearing a black martial arts suit. He was about 30 years old.
The other was a middle-aged man wearing casual clothes. The last was a 30-year-old woman wearing a yellow dress.
"The apostles have appeared. I wonder when the 12 Kings will appear?"
Yang Qingtian also noticed the arrival of the apostles and wasn't surprised.
It would be strange if the apostles didn't appear at such a big event. Even if the 12 Kings appeared, it wouldn't be surprising.
Perhaps an Emperor had already appeared and was just hiding in a corner.
Although apostles were stronger than ordinary Kings, it didn't mean that they were invincible.
With Yang Qingtian's strength, he could easily defeat apostles.
In front of so many Guardians, even the Kings didn't dare to be too arrogant. Facing a group attack, there was a risk of dying, let alone apostles.
Therefore, the Guardians didn't care about the arrival of the apostles. The more people there were, the happier they were.
More people meant more power.
The Pure Land was different from the "New World".
The New World was a traitor who sided with the foreign races.
The Pure Land's slogan and mission was "Create the last pure land of mankind."
This was a group of powerhouses who transcended the law. The 12 Kings weren't all from Huaxia. They came from all over the world.
The essence of this organization was selfish. They would do whatever was beneficial to them.
The Pure Land didn't belong to any country and wouldn't target any country.
Although the country's upper echelons were wary of this organization, they weren't afraid.
After all, an organization couldn't be stronger than a country!
They just didn't want to have a direct conflict with it. It wouldn't benefit anyone.
At the same time, the Pure Land was arrogant and seemed unscrupulous. However, they didn't dare to challenge the dignity of a country.
After all, the members of this organization came from all over the world. They didn't have a unified belief and were all for their own interests.
If they targeted Huaxia, the Kings from Huaxia wouldn't agree.
Now, they all had a common enemy.
That was the foreign races.
"Your enemy is here."
A man next to Yang Qing said.
Yang Qing didn't have much of a reaction. She glanced at the middle-aged man among the three apostles.
The middle-aged man seemed to have sensed something. He lowered his head and looked at Yang Qing. Their eyes met and were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"We just have some conflicts. We can't be considered enemies."
Yang Qing said calmly.
The middle-aged man's name was Chen Long. He was a descendant of the Chen family, one of the top ten families in Shang Jing.
As one of the top ten families in Shang Jing, the two of them grew up together. However, they parted ways in the end.
Chen Long's reputation and talent weren't much inferior to Yang Qing's.
He was Yang Qing's main opponent in the Kaiyuan Space Gate.
In the battle for the key, the two of them also fought. However, Yang Qing won in the end and obtained the key. Thus, a feud was formed.
Chen Long was the same as Yang Qing. In order to obtain a nine-star key, he deliberately suppressed his strength and didn't break through to Martial King.
After losing the battle for the key, seeing that there were no other opportunities, he could only choose to break through to Martial King. He also joined the Pure Land and became an apostle.
Yang Qing could defeat Chen Long without obtaining the key. Naturally, she was confident that she could defeat him now.
In the air.
The female apostle also looked at Yang Qing. She had to admit that Yang Qing was indeed very handsome and had a strong aura. Although they were in the air and Yang Qing was underground, his indifferent eyes seemed to be looking down on the three of them.
In the eyes of others, apostles were the synonym of terrifying and powerful. However, to Yang Qing, they were no different from ordinary people.
This gaze made the female a little unhappy. She said to Chen Long beside her.
"This is Yang Qing?
The one who defeated you?
He's as arrogant as the rumors say!
I'll help you get back your face when I have the chance. "
"Yan Man, don't provoke him."
Chen Long glanced at the female beside him. Seeing the eagerness in her eyes, he said in a serious tone.
"He's arrogant, but he does have the right to be arrogant. Now that he has obtained a key, I'm even less of a match for him."
"I'm not that stupid. We'll talk about it when we have the chance."
Yan Man smiled slightly and said indifferently.
A King with a key would have far greater stamina and recovery speed than other Kings.
As apostles, they could surpass ordinary Kings, but it did not mean that they could surpass all Kings.
Among the powerhouses present, there were some who could crush them. For example, Yang Qingtian, who was at the peak of Martial King and was only one step away from becoming an Emperor.
Therefore, even as apostles, they did not dare to be too arrogant.
Perhaps because they were talking about Yang Qing, the three of them could not help but look at Lin Feng.
"Is Lin Feng really Yang Qing's child?"
Yan Man asked curiously.
Lin Feng's recent fame was not inferior to Yang Qing's. In fact, he was even more famous.
His talent was more dazzling than Yang Qing's.
To be able to seal a door at such a young age and make the foreign races tremble in fear, this was a battle record that they did not have.
Moreover, Lin Feng was an apostle candidate. If he succeeded in the competition and became an apostle, he would have the same status as them.
A 20-year-old apostle was probably something that the Pure Land had never had before.
Although Lin Feng's strength was certainly not as strong as theirs, with Lin Feng's talent and the Pure Land's nurturing, he might be able to break through to become a King in a few years and have the strength to contend against them.
Being young meant that his potential was much higher than theirs. In the future, Lin Feng would go further than them.
Perhaps when they were still apostles, Lin Feng would have already become a Heavenly King.
"Most likely. Otherwise, there wouldn't be rumors out of nowhere." Chen Long sighed.
Compared to Yang Qing, Lin Feng shocked him more.
"Do you think that a key will appear after the fusion of the interspatial door?"
Yan Man looked at the spiritual power tide and said with a hint of desire in her tone.
To an apostle, a key was also a treasure.
Having a key was equivalent to having a healer with you. One could quickly replenish one's strength and treat one's injuries.
In a battle, although one's strength could not be increased, it could allow the owner to fight without any worries and gain an advantage.
Not to mention the key and the secret to breaking through to become a Ruler. Even they yearned for it.
Even among apostles, very few people had keys. There were less than 5 of them, and they were all 5- or 6-star interspatial keys. They were not as precious as Yang Qing's 9-star interspatial key.
"This is a 10-star interspatial door. Even if a key appears, you and I won't be able to snatch it," Chen Long said calmly.
The battle for the key was extremely tragic. Hundreds of powerhouses from foreign races, humans, and demonic beasts were fighting for a key, and the possibility of obtaining it was very slim.
Only an invincible powerhouse of the same rank could obtain it.
Among Kings, their strengths were not at the peak.
If they overestimated themselves and fought for the key, they might die.
In the outside world, Kings were high above and had a respected status.
Nonetheless, in the battle for the key, powerhouses were worthless and could easily die.
The spiritual power tide lasted for an hour. People kept leaving, and powerhouses kept arriving. The atmosphere became more and more solemn.
More than 10,000 soldiers were stationed about 500 meters away from the interspatial door.
When the intensity of the spiritual power tide became weaker, the surroundings gradually quieted down. No one talked, and the atmosphere was tense.
Everyone's bodies were slightly tense. Most of them had entered the demonic transformation state and were ready to release their strongest soul skills.
All kinds of weapons and missiles were aimed at the interspatial door. Everything was ready.
When the spiritual power tide stopped, a figure suddenly rushed out of the interspatial door. This figure was covered in wounds and his right arm was missing. At this moment, everyone's bodies were tense. When they saw the person who came, they subconsciously prepared to release their soul skills. However, they stopped at the crucial moment because they recognized that figure. Everyone recognized it.
It was the transcendent powerhouse, Flood Emperor!
