As a being of Yan Huang's status, how could he not know that the Myriad Races Forest was the habitat of the demons of the myriad races.
"The Emperor of our race slumbers within the ancestral land, and the younglings require a place."
The monstrous beast, with a terrifying mountain-like form, a beast's head, a human torso, a fish tail, and sixteen arms, faced Yan Huang and spoke, as if Yan Huang were his equal.
Yan Huang slowly spoke, "No, the Dragon Kingdom is the dwelling place of the human race. If you seek a habitat, the two forbidden lands, Meteor Immortal Cliff and the Myriad Races Forest, are sufficient to house the demons of the myriad races."
"Humans, we only require the outer regions of the Meteor Immortal Cliff forbidden land as our habitat. Our wells shall not interfere with your rivers."
Yan Huang took a slow step forward, his voice resonant and powerful, a dangerous glint flickering in his eyes:
"This is the territory of our Dragon Kingdom's human race. Not an inch shall be yielded!"
"Human, although you are strong, you are not yet qualified to negotiate with us, the demons of the myriad races." The mountain-like monstrous beast spoke, its colossal serpentine eyes cold, as if mocking:
"The path to the Great Emperor of the Myriad Races is about to open. Our ancient Emperor does not wish to rekindle old fires and cause widespread destruction..."
"Then we shall fight!"
Yan Huang interrupted it, his voice firm as gold, his eyes filled with surging battle intent, his surging blood essence seemingly about to pierce the heavens.
"Very well. To kill a human Emperor-level expert is to show respect to us, the demons of the myriad races. Remember the name of your killer, my name is Li Sha!"
The colossal monstrous beast's body moved, blotting out the sun and obscuring the sky!
Its terrifying forelimb, like a skyscraper's palm, slammed down towards Yan Huang.
The human form was too minuscule.
In this instant, countless people's pupils contracted sharply, their bodies chilled, awakening a primal fear of the demon race from the depths of their bloodline inheritance!
Yan Huang!
Can he win?
This Li Sha had been waiting behind the rain, waiting for human powerhouses like Yan Huang to appear, to test the strength of the current human race, releasing some cannon fodder demon beasts to attract human attention.
"Today, I know that all directions wish to witness the power of the Guardian, and now, I shall fulfill your wishes."
Facing the terrifying attack of the monstrous beast's body, Yan Huang, standing on the accumulated snow, remained still. He slowly turned, his expression calm, his hoarse voice carrying for tens of thousands of meters.
Then.
He slowly raised his hand, and a golden aura erupted from him. This aura was already extremely powerful, causing the pupils of the old monsters from the five great sacred lands who were secretly observing to shrink, secretly alarmed by Yan Huang's power.
However, this... was not enough!
Following that.
"The citizens of the Dragon Kingdom in this place, my name is Yan Fengyun, I am self-proclaimed as the Guardian of the Dragon Kingdom. Now that the demon race has appeared, our Dragon Kingdom's human race may once again suffer calamity. Are you willing to lend me your strength? If you are willing, please raise your hands."
As the voice fell, ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters!
One kilometer!
Ten kilometers!
A hundred kilometers!
Everyone within a hundred-kilometer radius heard Yan Huang's words.
In a kindergarten in a small town, a five-year-old child seemed to understand and slowly raised his hand. A trace of invisible power flew out from his body, converging towards Yan Huang.
An old man, with only half a breath left, lying on his sickbed, vaguely raised his hand in a daze, a trace of power.
A pregnant woman about to give birth raised her hand.
Immediately!
One person, two people, three people!
A hundred people, a thousand people, ten thousand people!
One hundred thousand, one million, ten million!
Every citizen of the Dragon Kingdom within a hundred kilometers slowly raised their hands.
Those faint traces of weak power converged here, transforming into a vast and invincible force, descending upon Yan Huang.
Among them were farmers tilling the fields, construction workers, students still studying, disabled individuals with illnesses, pregnant women about to give birth, soldiers in armor, white-collar workers at their jobs, sanitation workers cleaning, and homeless people rummaging through trash cans!
Each of them constituted the current Dragon Kingdom, and each of them was a person of the Dragon Kingdom!
Individually weak, but when gathered together, that fervent power transformed into golden light, soaring into the sky, shaking the heavens and earth!!!
"Cough, cough!"
Scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of Yan Huang's mouth, but his expression remained calm. His hoarse, calm voice echoed, "Watch closely, this is the power of a Guardian."
"If I am the Guardian, then the Dragon Kingdom will be peaceful everywhere, and no evil spirits will run rampant!"
"Our Dragon Kingdom shall prosper!"
"Our Dragon Kingdom shall be eternal and indestructible, and the human way shall prosper forever!"
Yan Huang then slowly turned, and with a gentle flick of his finger, he sent a projectile towards the terrifying, mountain-like Li Sha from a distance.
"Rumble!!!"
The power of the golden light, like an apocalypse, swept over and enveloped the monstrous beast's body, Li Sha.
In an instant, it turned to ashes, disintegrating into dust, ceasing to exist in this world.
"Whoosh!!!"
Countless people's minds went blank, utterly shocked by this power.
A tidal wave of shock surged within their hearts.
The thousands of Guardians who had descended with Yan Huang roared:
"Our Dragon Kingdom shall be eternal and indestructible, and the human way shall prosper forever!"
"Is this the power of a Guardian..."
Countless people came back to their senses, their eyes filled with profound dread.
Countless hearts churned.
"The times are about to change!"
"This Guardian system might truly replace the systems of sealing kings and sword wielders, yet it is not controlled or bound by anyone!"
"The will of the people cannot be stopped!"
The old monsters from the five great sacred lands who were secretly observing turned pale: "A formidable Guardian system!"
"So that's how it is! Destroying the Sword Wielder system and the Sealing King system, and damaging the Kyushu Ding Ancestral Artifact, was all for this!!!"
"This Yan Fengyun cannot be allowed to live, he must die!"
On this day, the Dragon Kingdom was shaken.
The Guardian system officially emerged into the world!
...
Far away.
On a luxurious cruise ship heading to the Lighthouse Country.
Chen Jiuyang was unaware of the events unfolding in the Dragon Kingdom.
On the vast deck.
Dozens of people in martial arts robes were practicing martial arts, following the path of soldiers.
However, they were merely at the level of national martial arts, which was equivalent to one blood exchange.
One blood exchange was national martial arts, two blood exchanges was mastery of national martial arts, and three blood exchanges was the formal entry into the soldier's path.
However, here, Chen Jiuyang had the opportunity to witness the once famous Hongmen of the martial world.
This force, born hundreds of years ago, was now distributed in countries worldwide, with great fame and considerable influence.
Chen Jiuyang was fortunate to have chosen this cruise ship to conceal his identity and board.
The person leading the martial arts practice was a young woman in white, with a curvaceous figure, a 'Hong' character embroidered on her clothes.
Her status seemed not low; she was the core of this group.
Chen Jiuyang watched for a while, then walked out from behind, clapping his hands as he said, "Your Bajiquan is quite good. At such a young age, you've already reached the peak of the second blood exchange, just a step away from the third."
"May I ask which esteemed descendant of the Hongmen you are?"
Seeing Chen Jiuyang, a stranger, appear, the members of the Hongmen immediately became vigilant.
The woman in the lead saw Chen Jiuyang as an ordinary person, with no trace of martial arts practice, yet he could discern her strength at a glance:
"I remember there was no guest like you on our Hongmen cruise ship."
"May I ask who you are?"
