My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

But it was Cheng Guang who was protecting Empress Wei, the Sky-Man.

It was utterly absurd.

Such that all those who witnessed this scene, their faces briefly stiffened, shocked into silence.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the crowd,

Cheng Guang reached the mountaintop.

At the summit, the world before him suddenly opened up.

A delicate residence made of blue stone and wood sat at the top of the mountain.

Above it, a signboard bore three large characters.

Around Immortal Residence.

The Around Immortal Residence was surrounded by yellow maple trees, their golden leaves picturesque like a poem, fluttering in the autumn breeze, causing a splendid rain of falling leaves.

In a corner of the temple, there sat a large wine jar, a rough and simple piece of pottery.

It seemed to be a wine vat.

A fragrance wafted from it, so intoxicating that one's cultivation level would increase upon smelling it. Your journey continues with empire

Approaching it, even with Cheng Guang's not so sharp senses, inhaling the fragrance caused his complexion to flush red, and his Qi and Blood surged, a blush rising to his head.

His cultivation level had clearly advanced a great deal!

He was almost at the brink of a breakthrough!

Just a whiff of it, and there was such a significant effect.

This thing.

Perhaps it was what had caused so many Sky-Men to gather here!

This opportunity lay before him, where were the other Sky-Men?

Cheng Guang's gaze swept around and suddenly turned towards the nearby Around Immortal Residence.

There was another wine vat there, but it had been shattered.

It was probably due to the struggle among the many Sky-Men, which resulted in the vat's breakage.

The surrounding ground and yellow leaves seemed a bit disorderly, and Qi was agitated, indicating that a battle had just taken place here.

The commotion was not small.

The Sky-Man that had just died might have met his end right here.

Cheng Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, ready to approach and inspect the contents of the wine vat when a dark shadow fell from the distant sky, landing directly on the roof of the Around Immortal Residence.

As it landed, a dense aura of authority spread in all directions.

For those of lower strength, it was exceedingly difficult even to approach this area!

Cheng Guang found his breathing had become much more difficult!

Fortunately, he had Empress Wei by his side, which afforded him some relief.

"Drink the wine of today in today's mirth, and let not the concerns of the world trouble thee at thy gate."

The dark shadow suddenly raised its head and poured liquor into its mouth.

"Ill fortune, ill fortune, all just trifles trying to cause trouble. How many years has it been since anyone other than those calamities that persecute our clan has dared to treat me so?"

"To task me with protecting them here is truly vexing! Mind you, one of these days I'll drink myself senseless and smash them to bits!"

After muttering to himself, the shadow once again became swallowed by silence.

One hand drooped slightly.

Streaks of fresh blood dripped down from its body.

That blood was clearly not its own, but rather... seemed to be...

Sky-Men...

Suddenly, Cheng Guang turned his head, glancing towards where the shadow had come from.

In that direction, without knowing when, the sky had been enveloped in blood.

The skies had drastically changed!

No one knew how many Sky-Men had fallen!

Given the scope of this onslaught, at least three or four Sky-Men must have died at the hands of the shadow!!

Cheng Guang looked up at the shadow.

When he saw the full appearance of the shadow,

Cheng Guang's pupils shrank, utterly shocked.

The shadow was none other than a humanoid scorpion clad in armor, its body displaying a deep brown color, with a pair of massive pincers for hands, one of which was broken.

"How could such a being have suffered such heavy injuries??"

"Who did this?"

"And in such a wounded state, he can still repel a host of Sky-Men? Just how powerful was he at his peak?"

Cheng Guang murmured to himself while simultaneously thinking.

Furthermore...

Listening to the words of that creature,

Could it be that this scorpion, unlike the Monkey Devil that was infested by parasites...

Is still alive????

At this thought, Cheng Guang's scalp tingled!

He suddenly looked up.

And just in time to lock eyes with a pair of profound scorpion pupils.
