Chapter 82 Jade Dragon and Plain Kite
Despite the widespread suffering and misery on the Douluo Continent, the reforms continued to be firmly implemented. Under difficult conditions, each immortal manor was producing precious food with all its might, providing a continuous supply of resources for the great cause of the Tianli Empire.
Truckloads of grain, armor, and weapons were transported to the far north—a grand prelude indeed. Zhongli knew that this was a miracle and an opportunity created by the people of Tianli during their most difficult time. Each bag of wheat might have meant the life of a family, yet, guided by the immortal warriors, they gave it up without hesitation for the salvation of the entire Douluo plane and for the unification of the two continents.
How could he let down such people? He had already made a promise in his heart: when the planet is unified and the divine realm collapses, that will be the day the glorious era of Liyue will begin! All suffering will end at that time.
Perhaps there have been some sacrifices, but this is an inevitable part of the development of any world. As Ovilette said, the total population of Douluo Continent has now plummeted to less than half of what it used to be, and this number will continue to decline for the time being. But so what?
In Liyue, many once-crowded places, even Guili Plain, the most prosperous and wealthy region in the east of Teyvat, once known as the center of the world, a land of breathtaking beauty and a battleground for demons, have long since become desolate wastelands, no longer inhabited by humans. All that remains in people's memories is a dish called "Central Plains Miscellaneous Food." In times of prosperity, some things must be sacrificed.
Liyue, having abandoned and desolate half of its former human settlements, completely discarded these so-called "strategic locations," which is why it has been able to maintain long-term peace and prosperity for a thousand years, making it the most stable of the seven kingdoms of Teyvat.
--------------------------------
As winter approached in the following year, 150,000 celestial warriors, along with 200,000 Rock Army soldiers, raced across the vast, frozen sea, heading towards the distant Sun and Moon Continent. The 470,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King—Bear Lord—led the vanguard, while Rock King Emperor Zhongli personally commanded the central army, and the former King of Slaughter, now Tian Shu Xing, brought up the rear. This massive army, hundreds of thousands strong and fearless, swept into the Sun and Moon Continent when it was completely unprepared!
At this time, the Sun Moon Continent was not yet unified, unlike thousands of years later when it went to war with the Douluo Continent. It was still a land of many independent kingdoms, though they had recently submitted to the tyranny of the Demon Forest.
After arriving in this world, the "Chi" surprisingly joined forces with the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler of the Demon Forest, together taking control of the entire Sun and Moon Continent. Its ambitions and evil schemes are unknown. However, with the arrival of the Heavenly Soldiers of Tianli, everything will melt away like snowflakes.
"kill!"
The 470,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King, Xiong Jun, was incredibly brave. Leading 50,000 celestial warriors, he charged straight into the dark and gloomy Demon Forest. Deep within the Demon Forest, terrifying blood-red light appeared. Some saw eerie gray mist rising into the sky, while others saw a deep blue light flash.
A few days later, Zhongli, who was leading the army to rest and recuperate in the rear, received a message from a wolf bandit covered in blood. His gaze also turned serious.
The elite disciples of the immortal clan, led by Xiong Jun, were almost completely wiped out deep within the Demon Forest. Even Xiong Jun himself, the once second strongest warrior in the Star Dou Great Forest, the mighty bear who had wounded Di Tian with his Sky-Tearing Claw, perished in the battle, falling victim to the combined attack of Chi and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler. The blood of the immortal warriors stained the Demon Forest!
"First, capture Mingdu, replenish supplies, and complete reorganization. Then, the entire army will advance into the Demon Forest and wipe them out!"
A faint golden light appeared in Zhongli's eyes as he gave the order. His voice was steady, yet it possessed a weighty, mountain-like quality. Just like the expression on the Emperor's face when the vanguard of the Thousand Rock Army and the Immortal Clan's disciples were trapped in the Abyss of Layered Rocks, and many warriors, including Fushe, perished in battle.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The immortals and the warriors of the Thousand Rock Army roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth. In the distance, Mingdu seemed to tremble slightly.
After the immortals and the warriors of the Thousand Rocks Army captured Mingdu, which was defended by cowardly humans, almost without bloodshed, they rested and prepared for seven days before heading to the vast Demon Forest.
The Demon Forest is incredibly vast, almost comparable to the Star Dou Great Forest on the Douluo Continent. Every step the army takes forward is met with attacks from the soul beasts within the Demon Forest, making it a truly bloody path.
"call"
Ma Hongjun transformed into a giant fire phoenix, unleashing the flames of vengeance from the immortal disciples upon the demonic forest. All the immortal beasts with fire-type abilities also joined in setting fires, turning the dark forest into a sea of fire wherever they went!
Finally, perhaps unable to bear the destruction of the Demon Forest any longer, Chi and the Evil Eye Tyrant took the initiative to lead the main force of the Demon Forest to attack and engage in a decisive battle with the Immortal Warriors and the Thousand Rock Army.
Zhongli faced his former formidable foe, "Chi," while Ying, who accompanied him, confronted the Evil Eye Tyrant. The Evil Eye Tyrant, now aided by power from another world, had become a "God of Evil" in this world, far more powerful than the former Beast God, Di Tian. It's no wonder that even with Xiong Jun's bravery and immortal techniques, he perished in the Demon Forest.
The Chi is a colossal beast with a body somewhat resembling a dragon and a tiger, exceeding a hundred zhang in length. It resembles a gray mountain range and is extremely ferocious. Although it is not a demon god, it is one of the most terrifying demonic beasts, even more powerful than immortals like Ge Chenlangshi and Liu Yunjiefeng, and in no way inferior to many demon gods.
"A sheer cliff!" "As solid as a rock!"
Faced with the ferocious attack of the Chi, which even attempted to kill the Thousand Rocks army below, Zhongli erected thick barriers of Thousand Rocks, which stood proudly like mountains, and could not be shaken in the slightest no matter how angry the Chi roared and howled.
"Morax, Morax! I am the true King of Beasts. Unlike you scum, who mingle with humans!"
The dragon roared madly, its gaze fixed coldly on the Rock King Emperor.
"You ferocious beast, knowing only slaughter and destruction, utterly unaware of the beauty of civilization and creation. For the future of humanity and spirit beasts in this world, I will make you perish here once again, just as I did on the continent of Teyvat!"
The Emperor ascended into the sky, with a rock dragon formed from jade and a kite sculpted from rock appearing behind him. "Ruo Tuo" landed on the ground, roared, and stomped on the ground a few times. The terrifying rock wolf, mixed with flames and lightning, rushed into the sky and swept over the Chi.
Just as the dragon roared and plummeted, He Puyuan circled in the air, then swooped down with a shriek, seizing the dragon's massive head and piercing one of its eyes with its sharp edge.
"Roara ...
The massive body of the dragon rolled on the ground, letting out a desperate roar. "Ruo Tuo" charged towards the dragon with an earth-shaking force, its dragon legs, wrapped in frost and lightning, stomped heavily on the dragon's body, instantly turning the surrounding area into a sea of boiling elements.
"Justice prevails."
Finally, what ended everything was once again the terrifying rock spear that fell from the sky. The rock spear was covered with various runes possessing boundless power, and as it fell from the sky, it was accompanied by the chanting of countless immortals. At this moment, golden light dispelled the darkness of the demon forest, and finally pierced through the giant beast's head!
