#465 - Jiuli Tribe (2 in 1 order)
Cang Li continued to explain that the Nine Sons of the Dragon had also perished in the Dragon Clan's homeland, the Xuan Tian Dragon Domain, during the ancient war between gods and demons, with only the lineage descended from those who mated with humans surviving to this day.
Cang Li was actually the incarnation of the last wisp of remnant soul of Ying Long left in this world, reshaped and brought back to life with the help of the Star Lord of the Big Dipper.
He had been waiting for a descendant of the human-dragon lineage like Zhong Wu Ye to activate the power of their bloodline and restart the divine power of the Xuan Tian Dragon Domain.
In this way, by using the divine power left by Ying Long, the shackles of the Nightmare Cocoon could be broken, and the world could be saved.
After Cang Li's physical body perished together with the Devourer in the battle of Chang'an City, his soul finally waited for Zhong Wu Ye here.
...
Zhong Wu Ye gazed at Cang Li's familiar and composed face for a long time, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She slowly spoke, her voice choked with emotion:
"Thanks to your guidance all along, I have been able to get to where I am today. You have watched me grow from naive to gradually mature, and you have always understood my innermost thoughts."
She lowered her eyes, her brow filled with melancholy: "On the surface, I seem strong and dignified, but in reality, I have always been fragile and insecure. I am afraid that the catastrophic disaster brought to the Dragon Clan will be repeated, and that my people will have no way out. So I have been looking for a place to shelter the Dragon Clan, even if it is just a vague legend, it has ignited the fire of hope in my desperate situation."
Cang Li nodded without interrupting her.
Zhong Wu Ye took a deep breath and continued, "My seemingly aloof and even rebellious exterior is just a layer of self-protective disguise. I once thought that only by becoming strong and ruthless enough could I barely maintain a semblance of composure. However, as I ventured together with everyone, I truly realized the importance of family and friends."
She looked towards her companions behind her, each of their figures shining brightly: "With your companionship, I have grown from a lonely and lost girl into a leader who can stand alone. I have learned precious things from you: passion, courage, friendship, justice. These have given me strength and direction again."
Speaking of this, Zhong Wu Ye looked up at the desolate and broken Dragon Domain ruins in the sky, her eyes flashing with renewed fighting spirit: "Yes, this is not the paradise we imagined, but just a broken battlefield. But that is why I am even more determined to save the world!"
"I want to find a home for the Dragon Clan, this is my unwavering dream. But at the same time, I also hope to save the common people of Da Yuan and Northern Zhou, rescue the various monsters in the ten thousand mountains of Southern Border, and even include Wu Ya's Nine Li tribe. I want to create a new era of tolerance for all things, a peaceful and happy era, so that all living beings can find a place to live and thrive!"
Zhong Wu Ye's voice grew louder and louder, and her words became more and more powerful, full of the grandeur of a leader: "Once upon a time, I was so confused and helpless. But now, I finally understand my mission! Let me lead everyone to break through this barrier and open up a real new world, dedicated to all the living beings who are blocked inside and outside!"
Her gaze was like lightning, and her firm expression moved Cang Li and her companions behind her. This was the Dragon King they were proud of!
Cang Li took a deep breath and nodded heavily. He said in a steady voice: "Very good, you are finally truly ready and have completed the final step of your mission! Let us work together with one heart and one mind to break open this layer of restraint!"
...
Looking at the sky-covering and sun-shading barrier of the Soul Severing Realm, Zhong Wu Ye took a deep breath, and a dazzling golden light began to burst out from her whole body!
This was her great power as a true dragon, derived from the complete awakening of the dragon clan's origin. Her dragon scales gradually emerged all over her body, her eyes were like burning flames, and her roar was deafening, causing the entire Dragon Domain world to tremble!
"Roar--!"
Zhong Wu Ye suddenly raised her head and spat out a pillar of golden dragon hellfire! The dazzling pillar of flame swirled and twisted like a living creature, colliding with the barrier of the Soul Severing Realm, instantly annihilating it!
The barrier of the Soul Severing Realm seemed incomparably hard, and scarlet arcs of electricity crackled everywhere, engaging in a fierce collision with the golden dragon hellfire! The two forces competed against each other, erupting in a series of terrifying energy shock waves, causing the entire Dragon Domain world to tremble!
"Ahhhhh--!" Zhong Wu Ye roared fiercely, waving her arms, and two huge golden dragon claws appeared in the sky, tightly clamping onto the barrier!
In an instant, golden dragon hellfire surged from all directions, like a myriad of snakes roaring wildly, densely wrapping the entire barrier! The battle formations were immediately separated, and the collision of the two forces produced ten thousand zhang of shocking thunder, and the Dragon Domain was tumbling up and down, with surging waves of air!
"What violent energy." The companions behind her felt extremely shocked, crawling behind the giant rocks, dodging the sparks and stones thrown from all directions.
"It's just the barrier of the Soul Severing Realm, with my power as a true dragon, I will eventually break it!" Zhong Wu Ye flashed a confident expression, and the dragon scales all over her body became even more dazzling!
The golden dragon hellfire became more and more intense, finally completely enveloping the barrier! The defense line of the Soul Severing Realm disintegrated under the bombardment of the rolling golden light, and finally let out a deafening roar - the entire defense line collapsed in the air, like a tattered curtain, rolling to both sides!
"Success!" The cheers of the companions resounded through the sky.
In an instant, a surging tide of magical power poured out, rushing from the crack of the Soul Severing Realm into the Dragon Domain like ten thousand horses galloping! Zhong Wu Ye and her companions felt a darkness in front of their eyes, suffered a shock that swept their whole bodies, and retreated in a panic.
When the rolling waves finally gradually subsided, they finally recovered and opened their eyes. What came into view was a completely new and mysterious world!
The surroundings were not a vast universe, but a gloomy and eerie demon domain! Everywhere were terrifying abyssal canyons and volcanoes, and the air was filled with a foul and pungent smell of sulfur, accompanied by strange roars and moans constantly coming.
The most thrilling thing was the hideous and terrifying monsters with unrecognizable faces all over the ground! They seemed to be nightmares turned into reality, crawling, prostrating, leaping, and roaring, pouncing on Zhong Wu Ye and others with viciousness!
"Is this the core of the Soul Severing Realm?" Zhong Wu Ye looked solemn, obviously not expecting such a terrifying scene!
But at this moment, a giant beast resembling a nine-headed snake suddenly bared its fangs and claws, and pounced on Zhong Wu Ye frantically! Its whole body was surrounded by green smoke, as if it would spit out corrosive venom at any time!
"Be careful!" Cang Li shouted, and in an instant, he sacrificed a shield, covering Zhong Wu Ye and her companions completely.
The venomous snake slammed into the shield, making a shrill hiss. Cang Li's body glowed with golden light, and he cast a magic seal, forcing the monster back!
"We're in," Zhong Wu Ye looked at the demon army surging outside the shield, and a fighting spirit burst out in her eyes: "This time, let us fight to the end in this demon domain to save the Nine Heavens!"
...
Stepping into the demon domain was like being in an endless hell!
The surroundings were a scene of appalling tragedy: fiery lava gushed out from the ground, covering every inch of land, baking the earth to a scorching heat; they roared and surged like living creatures, occasionally spewing out a few clusters of lava, which condensed into two or three lava bombs in mid-air and smashed to the ground, exploding with sulfurous and pungent smoke;
Even more terrifying was that a few twisted and shriveled charred corpses occasionally appeared in the thick smoke, as if they were creatures burned to death, struggling and rolling in the lava; and whenever a wisp of black mist drifted over, the moment it landed on the ground, it would corrode out terrifying cracks, from which sprayed out pungent sulfur and heat waves!
"Be careful! This terrifying hellfire is not something ordinary people can withstand!" Cang Li warned the surroundings while using magic to create a transparent shield for everyone, isolating this area from the surroundings.
At this moment, a volcano several zhang high erupted! It let out a deafening roar, and a large amount of scalding lava gushed out from the crater, rolling down like a rolling red waterfall, and a hot dragon phantom actually appeared in mid-air!
The entire demon domain was darkened, and sulfur rained down like raindrops from the lava waterfall, and the air waves swept in suddenly, and the remaining sulfur smell was extremely pungent, making people dizzy!
"Ugh... everything here is too terrifying!" Qin Chuan covered his mouth and nose uncomfortably, almost suffocating. Even the battle-hardened demon race was taken aback by the hellish scene in front of them!
"That's right, this is the real core of the demon domain!" Zhong Wu Ye said in a deep voice: "In the past, we were just wandering in the periphery of the continuum, and we have never really entered its core. Everything here concentrates the original power of the demon domain!"
As soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound came from the ground, making people tremble with fear! What followed was a violent tremor of the earth, and countless lava cracks spread rapidly around, as if they were about to tear the entire demon domain apart!
"What's going on?" Everyone was stunned by this sudden vision and quickly drew their swords to defend themselves.
At this moment, a black shadow broke out of the ground and soared into the sky! It was a giant beast resembling a flying dragon, its whole body was blue-black and shiny, as evil as some kind of decaying metal! It was a hundred meters long, and its body was covered with sharp spikes, and nine thick and powerful tails swayed behind it, bringing up a gust of wind!
When its terrifying fangs and blood basin mouth were revealed, the ground actually burned out deep pits around the fangs, and scalding lava rolled in the pits! And that pungent dragon breath directly burned a gully hundreds of meters long on the ground, and the lava along the road spewed wildly!
"Where did this monster come from?" Before a group of companions could react, they saw Zhong Wu Ye rise into the air and slammed into the blue dragon!
The two collided fiercely in mid-air, and the dragon's roar shook the past and the present, and the entire sky was stirred by two majestic forces! A few splashes of lava splashed over, and Cang Li quickly used magic to splash them away, for fear of hurting the surroundings!
At this moment, more giant beasts appeared from the ground! They surged in from all directions, all resembling grotesque and terrifying insect beasts, each of them extremely ugly, with unrecognizable faces, and the crawling and leaping movements were terrifying!
"Everyone be careful! These are all nightmare weapons of the demon domain!" Cang Li rose into the air, transformed into a golden true dragon, and fought hard with many demons, his dragon claws flying and his dragon flames spreading!
Zhong Wu Ye and others also displayed powerful forces behind him. For a time, the demon domain was full of swords, lights, swords and shadows, and the dragon's roar shook the sky! They were fighting to the death with the demons in this sea of fire and hell!
...
Just when Zhong Wu Ye and Cang Li and others were fighting to the death and entangled with the demon army, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the chaotic battlefield!
It was a mysterious girl in a Luo skirt, with her green hair flying lightly, like a fairy descending to earth. Behind her was a huge magic circle, flashing with a faint blue light, the light flowing on her body, setting off her skin as white as snow.
"Isn't this Wu Ya?" Qin Chuan saw her face clearly and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that this Nine Li witch who caused many conflicts would appear here at this time!
Zhong Wu Ye also frowned fiercely, and a fire burst into her heart. She saw Wu Ya pacing leisurely, stepping on the dots of flowing fireflies, and walking towards them. Her eyes were as deep as the sea, and her eyes showed a kind of cold and arrogant temperament.
"Zhong Wu Ye, you have finally come to the center of the demon domain." Wu Ya spoke slowly, her tone slightly teasing: "Now, let me show you the true origin of the demon domain!"
Speaking, her expression was solemn, and she gently pointed in the void. In an instant, Zhong Wu Ye and others were shrouded in the blue magic circle! A burst of dizziness, the world began to distort and deform, and everything in front of her turned into heavy vortices.
The latest novel is first published in Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!
Zhong Wu Ye only felt a burst of dizziness in her brain, and her feet were as light as if she had stepped on cotton, and her consciousness quickly dissipated...
"This is... a dream?" She struggled to maintain the last trace of clarity, and then her whole body lost its balance and fell into a bottomless nightmare...
In a daze, Zhong Wu Ye seemed to have traveled through the scenery of several centuries. When she finally woke up, she found herself in a strange and primitive world!
Here, everything is full of lush and verdant primitive trees, towering into the clouds and intertwined. Some savage tribes with ferocious faces and resembling half-beasts and half-humans roam in the forest. They hold wooden sticks and stone axes, their muscles are knotted, and their movements are as agile as leopards.
In the center of the forest is a huge lake, the lake surface shimmering with clear and green waves. The most striking thing is a tall rock standing in the heart of the lake, towering high like a giant mushroom umbrella, covering the sky and the sun!
Above the rock hill is a primitive and elegant group of buildings, and the wooden "houses" are randomly distributed on it, simple but with a sense of isolation from the world. Looking up, it is the largest phoenix tree on the island in the legend! The trunk is strong and powerful, the branches and leaves are vast as clouds, and countless golden phoenix birds are coiled on the branches, shining brightly in the sun.
The savages patrolling in the forest held weapons, their faces were ferocious, and they waved at each other, making deafening roars. Obviously, they were competing for something.
"Is this the original appearance of the Nine Li tribe in ancient times?" Zhong Wu Ye was shocked by the scene in front of her, and subconsciously murmured.
No wonder Wu Ya has always regarded this place as the origin, this is the last home of the ancient race that is on the verge of extinction! Even if it is so backward and primitive, they are willing to regard it as a spiritual home, which shows how deeply they are attached to their home!
At this moment, a wave of incantation quietly spread out. Immediately afterwards, from the verdant leaves, there came a burst of singing like heavenly music!
The singing, melodious and flowing, drifted from afar, gentle and touching, seemingly possessing a mysterious magic. The primitive tribesmen all stopped what they were doing, their expressions gradually becoming dazed and entranced. Some even prostrated themselves on the ground, fanatically praying towards the island in the heart of the lake.
The singing originated from the crown of the towering phoenix tree. Among the verdant branches, a slender figure in white flickered, a stunningly beautiful Jiuli maiden!
The maiden's skin was as white as snow, her black hair fluttering in the wind, like a celestial being descending to the mortal realm. Her hands were clasped together, her eyes closed as she chanted, her clear and melodious voice echoing through the forest, a serene power flowing with it.
Suddenly, the singing stopped abruptly! A group of figures from the primitive tribe rushed over, surrounding the island in the heart of the lake! They held sharp blades, roaring with earth-shattering cries, clearly intending to attack the island!
Dozens of elaborately dressed wizards then appeared from the island, wielding staffs to defend against the enemy. In an instant, flames soared into the sky in the forest, attacks and defenses clashing in waves! The sharp blades flashed, and spells surged through the forest, exploding with deafening sounds!
"No!" Zhong Wuye exclaimed, just as she was about to rush forward to stop them, but all the scenery gradually blurred. The surrounding forest and the battle situation suddenly twisted and deformed, transforming into thousands of black mists in an instant, re-enveloping her.
When she opened her eyes again, the scene before her had completely changed once more! This time, what appeared was a magnificent and majestic empire!
Above her head was a bright and clear moon, shining brightly in the boundless sea of stars. When Zhong Wuye looked up, she was surprised to discover that it was actually the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm!
Beneath her feet was a towering and majestic pyramid-shaped city wall, standing tall and imposing! The city wall was covered with magnificent golden reliefs, with various forms and postures, which were actually the totems of slumbering dragons!
On the city tower, Jiuli people danced like goddesses, their sleeves flowing gracefully in white robes, like celestial beings descending to the mortal realm! They were tall and slender, with fair and radiant skin, and exquisite features. Even the most ordinary people looked like the chosen ones of heaven.
Within the city walls was a metropolis with thousands of households and millions of houses, grand and magnificent, resplendent and glittering! The roads were lined with towering trees, their branches intertwined, lush and verdant. Interspersed among them were flowing lakes, running through the city, with white lakeside pavilions on both sides.
In the very center was the most magnificent golden palace, like the king of the city! The resplendent golden dome soared into the clouds, majestic and magnificent, with extraordinary momentum! Above the main hall, nine-colored auspicious clouds fluttered high, supporting a huge phoenix statue, with its claws and teeth bared, covering the sky and the sun!
"Is this the glorious period of the Jiuli tribe?" Zhong Wuye finally spoke, her tone full of surprise and admiration: "No wonder they shined in the Immortal Realm and were known as the 'Nine Luminaries Star Lords'! Even I, a descendant of the dragon, have never seen such a magnificent scene!"
The Jiuli people were undoubtedly the most intelligent and spiritual race of their time, and they built such a magnificent dynasty, bringing their wisdom and art to the extreme! For a moment, Zhong Wuye was almost intoxicated by the luxurious atmosphere.
