Chapter 345 Super Rebound
Before the sky-sealing cold air penetrated into the land of Kyushu, even though the environment for the human race was not very good at that time, there were still over a hundred billion humans.

This was after experiencing the Fire Demon Disaster and the Demon Disaster, but ever since the Heaven-Sealing Cold Air penetrated into the land of Kyushu, the situation of the human race began to deteriorate.

Especially the subsequent East China Sea earthquake and hail disaster caused the human population to decrease at an alarming rate. In just about three years, the human population, which originally reached 100 billion, is now reduced to only about 60 billion, a population reduction of about 40 billion.

As for the monsters and demons, the losses were even more severe. There were originally more than 200 billion monsters and demons, but now there are less than 100 billion left, a total of more than 100 billion monsters and demons were lost.

Most of the corpses of monsters and demons were promptly stored by the Jiuzhou Alliance and turned into food to supply the survival of all humans and some monsters and demons in the future.

Even Lu Changjing did not expect such tragic damage. When the statistics came to Lu Changjing, he was also shocked.

But there was no time for mourning and sadness. While the temperature in autumn was not yet so low, the entire Jiuzhou Alliance took action to plant food crops that could mature in a short period of time, mainly cold-resistant crops.

At the same time, we also try our best to increase the production of these crops so that they can produce more food.

Secretly, Lu Changjing asked people to continue collecting the corpses of demons and monsters that died in disasters. Their conditions were far worse than those of humans, and they suffered heavy casualties in various disasters.

Who knows how long this situation will last? We must prepare early and use demons and monsters to exchange for the survival of the human race.

There are only less than a few hundred million demons and monsters that can be blessed by the Jiuzhou Alliance, and most of them are high-level demons and monsters, or their relatives and friends.

As for those of lower levels, they have been abandoned by default.

Not dealing with them personally and turning them into food was Lu Changjing's last act of kindness.

After all, demons and monsters are allies with humans now, especially after the disaster. After learning that the natural disaster outside the Kyushu barrier is even more horrific and the hail is as big as houses, the demons and monsters inside also became somewhat desperate.

They have now realized that the demons and monsters outside may be trying their best to break through the relatively stable environment inside the Jiuzhou Barrier and hide inside.

They were unaware of the existence of the Dinghai Pearl, but this alone alerted the demons and monsters, and they were unwilling to let their fellow creatures from outside in.

Without saying too much, as long as the barrier of Jiuzhou is broken, the sky-sealing cold air outside will surely pour into the land of Jiuzhou on a large scale.

Now that they are blocked by the Kyushu Barrier, their losses are already so heavy. If the Kyushu Barrier is broken, one can imagine how terrible the disaster will be.

Although the Phoenix God King's actions are biased towards the human race, they would most likely do the same even if they were in charge of the Nine Provinces.

At least the Phoenix God King did not deliberately target them, but only focused on taking care of the human race.

At the same time, before the disaster comes, the Phoenix God King will also remind the demons and monsters, otherwise the number of demons and monsters killed and injured will not be just over 100 billion.

The human race has suffered so many casualties, how can they be demons and monsters?

Although the actions of the Phoenix God King were unfair, they were relatively good.

Because of these disasters, the restoration of the Kyushu land has become slower and slower. However, because of the disasters, the water veins, spirit veins, and earth veins in many places have been able to recuperate. Of course, many have been damaged.

As one thing grows stronger while the other shrinks, the overall strength is still weakening. Coupled with the attacks from the world-destroying monsters and demons outside, the time that the Jiuzhou barrier can hold out is getting shorter and shorter.

There was nothing that could be done about it, and Lu Changjing had no choice.

After the hail disaster, although there was still hail and heavy snow, it was much less than this time. In addition, we had already had experience and lessons in dealing with it, so the losses were getting smaller and smaller.

Before he knew it, five thousand days had passed since Lu Changjing traveled to this world. New characteristics were already brewing, and Lu Changjing had already sensed them in advance.

As the midnight of a new day passed, the immortal physique reached five thousand points, and a new characteristic began to emerge.

Lu Changjing could clearly feel the restlessness in his body. His cultivation foundation and natural aptitude were improving rapidly, far surpassing every previous time his immortal physique increased.

Every thousand points is a hurdle, and as long as you get over it, you can get a significant improvement.

And this hurdle is not difficult to overcome, it just takes time to accumulate.

There was a rumbling sound coming from his body again, and a strange power appeared in his body, causing his whole body to undergo earth-shaking changes.

When everything was settled, Lu Changjing's cultivation foundation had increased by a few tens, his talent had increased by a few tens, and his spirit, energy and spirit were much closer to breaking the limit, especially in the aspect of essence, the improvement was the most amazing.

After all, the immortal physique mainly improves the body cultivation, and the qi cultivation and spirit cultivation are all related. It is normal for the body cultivation to step into the level of semi-profound gods and demons first.

As the immortal physique reached five thousand points, Lu Changjing gradually felt more and more the power of the immortal physique. Compared with the improvement brought by physical cultivation, the defense, endurance, and longevity brought by the immortal physique were simply terrifying, and basically covered all aspects.

Just talking about defense, this defense is not only reflected in the body, but also includes the defense of the divine veins and spiritual sea, which also reach five thousand points.

Even the divine blood, divine essence, and divine soul became tougher, and their defense power also increased by 5,000 points.

As for endurance, it has also increased by 5,000 points on the original basis, not to mention the lifespan.

Although he is just a god or demon, Lu Changjing's lifespan is astonishing. I'm afraid it is close to ten thousand years, and the speed of increase far exceeds the speed of consumption.

As long as Lu Changjing didn't use those secret techniques that greatly consumed his lifespan, he would basically be immortal. Unless he used up all his lifespan at once, if he was left with one day of life, he could increase his lifespan through the continuous growth of his immortal physique, and even restore it to its original level.

Although it seems to have only 5,000 points of immortal physique, it encompasses all aspects. Although it is not as good as the 2 million times defense of ordinary people brought by physical cultivation, it has greatly increased these basic defenses.

As time goes by, Lu Changjing will sooner or later reach a bottleneck in the cultivation of his spirit, energy and spirit. At that time, his immortal physique will continue to grow, thereby driving the growth of his spirit, energy and spirit. Therefore, the minimum immortal physique is the most important.

New characteristics also emerge as the immortal physique reaches five thousand points.

Looking at this new feature, Lu Changjing couldn't help but smile bitterly. This really seemed like they were trying to train him to be a super meat shield.

Super rebound!

One of the characteristics in the same series as Vajra Indestructibility, Super Recovery, Super Damage Reduction... It can rebound more than 90% of the enemy's attacks, and includes all attacks from the spirit, energy and spirit, and is not limited to one aspect.

Combined with the rebound effect of the Nine Yang Mysterious Art system, almost all enemy attacks can be rebounded back.

Vajra Indestructibility increases defense, and Super Rebound can bounce back almost all of the enemy's attacks. The remaining attacks will be weakened by more than 90% by Super Damage Reduction. Even if they can still have an effect on him, he can recover quickly under the effect of Super Recovery.

It almost formed a closed loop, which increased Lu Changjing's life-saving ability by more than a hundred times.

Lu Changjing was quite satisfied with this feature, but he still hoped to obtain a feature that could accelerate his practice, as he was too short of time now.

However, the golden finger was not based on his will, and the several characteristics given in succession were all to increase the ability to save life. Although it was very consistent with the effect of the golden finger, Lu Changjing's defense was already very strong.

But to be precise, the super rebound feature can be considered to be both offensive and defensive, and it can rebound the enemy's attack, so it is still quite good.

Lu Changjing specially found the Soul-Picking Slave and the Nine Dragon Slave to try out its effects and was quite satisfied with it.

Faced with the blessing of layer upon layer of super characteristics, the Soul-Picking Slaves and Nine Dragon Slaves couldn't even break through the defense. All attacks were bounced back, making them confused and some were even injured.

The harder the attack, the stronger the rebound, unless the attack breaks through Lu Changjing's limit and can break through his defense in one go. Even in this case, these characteristics can play a certain effect and greatly reduce his damage.

I wonder if a cultivator at the Xuanzun level can break through his defense?
Lu Changjing had a feeling that with his current stacked defense and characteristics, ordinary lower-level and middle-level Xuanzuns might not even be able to hurt him. Only upper-level and extreme-level Xuanzuns could cause some damage to him.

After adapting to the characteristics of super rebound, Lu Changjing began to practice again. Most of his time was spent on combat skills, secret techniques, and formations, and very little time was spent on improving his realm.

Only after obtaining relevant treasures will they practice, and basically they rely on their immortal physique to drive them.

In this situation, the speed at which various combat skills and secret techniques improved was extremely fast, and before he knew it, the Nine Dragon Fingers, Nine Dragon Seals, Nine Dragon Steps, Nine Dragon Sword Techniques, Nine Dragon Tribulations, Nine Dragon Covers, Nine Dragon Chant... had all been cultivated to the level of perfection by him.

It is now the seventh year of Chang'an, and the eighth year of Chang'an is just around the corner.

Although there were natural disasters during this period, none of them were as severe as the previous earthquakes and hailstorms. Even so, humans and demons and monsters died every day.

Today's environment is becoming increasingly harsh, and the old, weak, sick and disabled have basically been eliminated. Those who can survive are the young and middle-aged, or those with a relatively high level of cultivation. There is nothing anyone can do about this.

Among the demons and monsters, the losses were even more severe, and the birth rate plummeted a thousand times, because most of the little demons and monsters born could not survive, unless they stayed in those divine formations, but how many divine formations were there in the land of Kyushu?

Even the humans and demons and monsters living in the divine array are unwilling to reproduce. Nowadays, there are more and more disasters. If they give birth to offspring, they will only be a burden and may even die young.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to have children?

If the probability of Lu Changjing getting pregnant was not so low, he would have done the same to avoid having children.

Because even if he could be promoted to the realm of Xuanzun, he was not sure whether he could survive the disaster.

There are so many world-destroying demons and monsters outside, which one is not Xuanzun? They are all so panicked that they do not hesitate to attack the Jiuzhou Barrier as Xuan Yao, Xuan Mo, Xuan Ghost...

If the disaster outside could not have a huge impact on them, or even a catastrophic disaster, they would not have personally taken up the fight and fought for years.

You must know that the sky-sealing cold air that has penetrated into the land of Jiuzhou is only a small part, and it has been filtered through the Jiuzhou barrier. Even so, it can cause such a horrific natural disaster, leaving the entire Jiuzhou land helpless.

If a large amount of sky-sealing cold air gathered together, and was fueled by a deep cold wind, even Xuan Zun would not be able to resist it.

Lu Changjing's defense is strong. If he can be promoted to Xuanzun, his defense will increase a lot. However, his lovers do not have such strong defense, not to mention his future children who have not yet been conceived.

The situation is extremely precarious, what can we do?

Lu Changjing looked up at the sky. The heavy snow was falling, which made people feel relieved. At least it was not hail. Compared with hail, the heavy snow was nothing.

Another winter has come, and another sleepless winter.

Lu Changjing took a deep breath, entered the imperial study, and immersed himself in practice again.

What he didn't know was that another disaster was coming and was about to shake the entire Kyushu barrier.
