Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 745 Tianlan Falls! Shocks from All Sides!
Now heavily wounded, first with half of his divine soul extinguished, and then the self-detonation of the immortal weapon and the clan's fortune, he suffered a second blow, making it impossible to resist the determined Bi You Palace immortal.
Only the essence blood avatar of Mo Ying could save him.
Moreover, he believed that based on his life-saving grace to Mo Ying, he would not stand idly by. Even if Mo Ying didn't remember his kindness.
Considering it from the perspective of self-interest, he wouldn't refuse to save him.
Because among the several demon gods in Southern Border, although his strength wasn't the absolute best, he was definitely someone the other demon gods would be wary of, unwilling to fight him.
It was precisely his strength that made the other demon gods hesitant to act rashly, forcing them to negotiate and prepare to recommend him as the Demon Emperor after his triumphant return.
If he were to fall, Mo Ying, who had only recently recovered from his injuries, would definitely be jointly oppressed by the other three major demon clans and even the hundred clans of Southern Border.
Therefore, Tian Lan dared to be so certain.
The Bi You Palace immortal behind him remained unmoved, the rules around him rapidly coalescing, and a rule divine sword instantly appeared in the void.
Without seeing him pinching his fingers and forming seals, the rule sword suddenly erupted, directly charging towards Tian Lan Demon God.
"Boom!"
The rule divine sword exploded on Tian Lan Demon God's body, extinguishing his vitality and annihilating his lifeblood. With the launching of this sword, the Bi You Palace immortal became even more illusory.
He wasn't an immortal god in the flesh, but just a divine thought imprint of an immortal's foundation. His essence was condensed from the most fundamental rules of the world. Therefore, every time he used a rule, his strength would weaken.
Of course, the heavily wounded Tian Lan Demon God was even more severely injured by this sword.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Bi You Palace immortal seemed to have forgotten everything, only remembering to kill this demon god. He didn't hold back in the slightest, completely exchanging his life for a life.
Of course, he had already fallen and didn't care about death.
But Tian Lan Demon God did care. At this moment, his mind was filled with terror because he had been injured to his origin by the person behind him. His vitality and aura were rapidly declining.
When his origin was wiped out and his aura fell to the lowest point, even if he had stepped into the sixth realm and could be reborn from a drop of blood, he would still not escape the fate of falling after his origin was wiped out.
"Mo Ying! Mo Ying! Save me!"
Tian Lan Demon God had long lost his former demeanor, filled only with madness and fear of death and falling. He didn't want to die. He wanted to live.
He still wanted to become the Demon Emperor, the supreme being of Southern Border.
He wanted to lead the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan to the pinnacle, suppress the world, and cultivate to the legendary Sixth Realm Third Heaven!
"Ah... Ah..."
Behind him, the illusory light around the Bi You Palace immortal suddenly surged. The vitality of heaven and earth within a hundred zhang rapidly began to condense, and a powerful rule aura quickly swept through the world.
The strongest sword locked directly onto Tian Lan Demon God.
The next moment, the rule divine sword erupted, and the world went dark.
Tian Lan Demon God felt a fatal danger, became highly alert, and rapidly began to burn his lifeblood, wanting to resist the fatal blow from behind.
But at that moment, the surrounding void was torn apart, and a black-robed Mo Ying quickly appeared. Almost without hesitation, a rule divine whip appeared in his hand.
It directly struck the Bi You Palace immortal's rule divine sword.
"Boom!"
The purest rule forces intertwined, instantly shattering the void and condensing a black hole the size of a fist, emitting a faint aura. Then, the void within a thousand zhang began to collapse and distort.
From a distance, this place suddenly looked like a piece had directly collapsed. At the moment of collapse and distortion, an extremely terrifying explosive sound erupted in the void.
More than ten li around were completely cleared, mountains collapsed, the ground cracked, rivers reversed...
For existences at the level of demon gods and immortals, the commotion of their battles wasn't actually very large because they could completely control their power.
They wouldn't leak power, but condense it into one.
But when rules collided together, the commotion couldn't be suppressed. More than ten li, larger than a county town, was now completely overturned.
Even further away was affected, but the closer range was more terrifying.
"Mo Ying!"
Tian Lan Demon God's pupils shrank deeply, and then a hint of joy quickly flashed across them.
Mo Ying didn't respond, but instead condensed a terrifying rule furnace around him, like a black hole, quickly devouring the last bit of power left by the Bi You Palace immortal.
Then, he turned his gaze to Tian Lan, his expression indifferent.
The surrounding void seemed to be frozen, silent, not even the sound of wind could be heard. Tian Lan Demon God's face was originally ecstatic, but looking at Mo Ying's expression, his face gradually changed from joy to indifference.
"Why?"
Tian Lan Demon God was the first to break the silence, staring intently at Mo Ying, asking the question he had buried deep in his heart.
This one word, 'why,' seemed mindless, just a casual question, but both Tian Lan Demon God and Mo Ying Demon God knew the meaning of this sentence.
Did Tian Lan Demon God really have an unclear mind?
Couldn't he see that he was being schemed against?
In fact, as early as when he had probed his divine thought into Chen Yuan's spirit platform, he had already had this question in his heart, as well as deep anger.
Mo Ying was deliberately guiding him to erode Chen Yuan's spirit platform. If not, the demon race might not have lost, or even if they had lost, they definitely wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses as they did now.
In this battle, the demon race lost more than half of their million-strong army, several demon god avatars were destroyed, and more than five demon saints fell on the front lines. The losses were devastating.
This was the most devastating loss for the Southern Border demon race since the battle five hundred years ago, directly driving the demon race's morale, accumulated over hundreds of years, to rock bottom.
One had to know that this time they weren't facing the entire Central Plains, and not even the Central Plains Dynasty had intervened. They were facing only a rebel king who controlled two prefectures.
If they couldn't even defeat someone controlling two prefectures, how could they talk about swallowing the Central Plains?
This battle wasn't just about losses, it also brought a huge blow to the Southern Border demon race, suppressing the demon race's burgeoning momentum.
Therefore, Tian Lan Demon God was very angry and also very curious.
Why?
What exactly had he and the demon race done to Mo Ying that he would harm them so much?
If it weren't for his order, Mo Ying would still be imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower of Mount Shu!
"Does it matter?"
Mo Ying looked calmly at Tian Lan, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Of course it matters! It was this deity who saved you, using the foundation of our clan to help you recover from your injuries and origin. Is this how you repay this deity, repay the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan?"
Tian Lan Demon God questioned him. He didn't run away because, for him now, it would only be in vain.
The fact that he had easily neutralized the Bi You Palace immortal's strongest blow proved that he wasn't just an essence blood avatar, but his true body had arrived.
The surrounding void must have been tampered with. Escape was definitely impossible.
"Great kindness begets enmity. I wonder if Tian Lan Daoist has heard this saying from the Central Plains humans."
"Just that?"
Tian Lan Demon God looked incredulous. When had he ever asked the other party to repay him?
"Of course not, that was just something this deity said casually..." Mo Ying smiled faintly.
Tian Lan Demon God: ...
"Are you toying with me?"
"Heh... yes, toying with you. So what?"
"You..."
With a wave of his hand, Mo Ying rapidly condensed divine patterns in the void ten thousand zhang around, directly sealing Tian Lan Demon God within this space, the terrifying power directly imprisoning him in place.
"Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor... What are you, Tian Lan? A mere First Heaven demon god, daring to covet the Demon Emperor's throne? This position should be mine!"
"You... Hehehe... Then what are you? A homeless dog, a trash who has been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower for five hundred years. Are you more qualified than me to become the Demon Emperor?"
Although Tian Lan Demon God was about to die, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Mo Ying's words, feeling that the other party was daydreaming.
"If this deity dies, the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan will inevitably be suppressed. If you want to become the Demon Emperor, do so in your next life..."
"Yes, imprisoned for five hundred years... five hundred years... Everything in this world is beautiful. I am trash, but you are even more trash than me.
Do you think that without you, this deity will be suppressed? Then you overestimate yourself too much. If I dared to plot to kill you, I naturally have other considerations."
"What?"
"Guess?"
Mo Ying curled the corners of his mouth into an evil smile. The next moment, a huge black hole slowly condensed within the void of ten thousand zhang, and endless vitality of heaven and earth gathered towards the black hole.
As soon as the black hole was formed, it immediately erupted with an extremely terrifying devouring power. Tian Lan Demon God was horrified to find that he couldn't control himself at this moment.
Even the rules couldn't stop it, and he could only watch himself gradually approach the direction of the black hole.
"You... Mo Ying... Do you want to devour this deity?"
"Become one with this deity... This is your supreme glory!" Mo Ying Demon God laughed maniacally, and his mouth began to utter strange syllables.
With the sound of the syllables, the terrifying suction force increased again.
"You... you are definitely not Mo Ying. Who exactly are you?!"
Tian Lan Demon God roared.
"I... will be the future emperor of the demon race, the supreme being of the human world!" Mo Ying replied.
"No... no... Ah... This deity's origin..."
"Soul Devourer, Tian Lan sold you to this deity as a pawn. Now this deity has avenged you, so you should rest in peace..." Mo Ying chuckled sinisterly, his pupils flashing with a faint light.
He watched Tian Lan's aura gradually fade, his laughter growing louder. At the same time, the only disharmony on his body, the resentment from Soul Devourer, was gradually disintegrating on its own, making up for the last weakness in this body.
......
......
When the Bi You Palace immortal pursued Tian Lan Demon God, and he finally died in the hands of Mo Ying Demon God, the great battle between Chen Yuan and the Southern Border hundred clans completely came to an end.
Before, the front line had ended, and Chu Changfeng was still chasing the scattered demon race.
Now, it was completely over.
Chu Changfeng brought back half of the soldiers, as well as a large number of demon race prisoners, all bound with iron chains and long swords, kneeling on the ground and not daring to move.
In this great battle, the demon race lost more than half of their forces. When the exact numbers were tallied afterward, a rough conclusion could be drawn: of the more than one million demon race troops, less than 400,000 survived to return to the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Border.
The losses were devastating. When Tian Lan ordered the retreat, the demon race commander could only comply. After that, it was all about chasing and killing.
They chased for more than a hundred li, only stopping when they encountered dense forests because the warhorses couldn't enter and had reached their physical limits.
Even different species of warhorses couldn't sustain such a huge expenditure.
Along the way, on both sides of the road, were the corpses of the demon race army, directly dyeing the escape route red.
For the demon race, this was definitely a heavy blow, even shattering the confidence of many demon races, making them feel that the human race was irresistible, and resisting meant death.
They fled all the way, spreading the terror of the human race along the way.
Of course, while the demon race suffered such great losses, Chen Yuan's side also suffered considerable casualties as the opponent. After detailed statistics were taken after the war, the 500,000 troops were directly cut in half.
Most of the remaining people were wounded, which was also very tragic.
This was on the basis of Chen Yuan's prior preparation of the Blood Fiend Ten Absolute Formation. Without such a great formation, the casualties would only have been more terrifying.
When Chu Changfeng returned to Zhennan Pass, his aura was weak, but his eyes were shining extremely brightly. This time, he had thoroughly enjoyed the battle.
He was completely immersed in the joy of slaughter.
On the second day after the war, almost every household in Zhennan Pass hung white silk, and the sounds of crying continued for a day. Chen Yuan also distributed the pensions in a very short period of time.
He reorganized all the previous armies into the Yan Army.
At the same time, he began to expand the army on a large scale in Nanzhou and Shuzhou, using the veterans of this battle as the core, using the old to bring the new, so that they could restore combat power in a short period of time.
This million-level war was more like a huge baptism. From top to bottom, there were transformations. Given time, it would definitely be a steel-blooded strong army.
Chen Yuan handed over the people's livelihood to Su Ziyue and the officials below to restore. Chen Yuan directly delegated the power of the army to Chu Changfeng and Yang Huatian to take charge.
The violent agency, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was still managed by Jiang He.
At the same time, because he foresaw that Xiang Qianqiu, Ling Mountain, and all the forces in the world would have a great possibility of taking advantage of this opportunity when he was seriously injured to launch a sneak attack.
Many royal orders were issued from Chen Yuan's Yan Wang Mansion.
First, provide war pensions and restore people's livelihood.
Second, reorganize the army and expand the army on a large scale.
Third, the Embroidered Uniform Guard should take advantage of Chen Yuan's victory and not be low-key, but instead be high-profile and clear all the previous hidden dangers. Those who don't follow will be killed.
Fourth, led by Mo Luo, taking the Heavenly Void Taoist, Zhao Danqing, and other Yang God True Monarchs back to Shuzhou to guard against probes and disputes from other forces.
There was no need to back down, no need to endure. Whoever dared to show their teeth would be beaten.
The more outwardly strong and inwardly weak you were, the more you couldn't reveal a trace of weakness.
After all, no matter what, he had won this great battle. If they didn't investigate Chen Yuan's actual strength clearly, the other party would have to think twice before acting.
As for Chen Yuan himself, he would ostensibly go into seclusion, but secretly leave Zhennan Pass and head to Southern Border.
When he killed Nangong Lie, Chen Yuan couldn't wait for the opportunity, but at that time, he really couldn't leave. If he left, there was really no one who could suppress everyone.
In addition to the threat of the demon race, he could only break free after the end of that great battle.
Now, the demon race was severely damaged, and the entire demon race was estimated to be in chaos, which was a great opportunity to snatch chestnuts from the fire and sneak into the demon race.
Originally, for the sake of prudence, Chen Yuan wanted Mo Luo to protect him. Only in this way could he guarantee that everything would be safe.
But after thinking about it, he finally gave up this idea.
One was because Mo Luo had just been severely injured and had not recovered. The second was because the threat of Xiang Qianqiu and Ling Mountain was too great. Without an immortal sitting in town, the forces under him would be as fragile as lambs to the slaughter.
Third, it was because Mo Luo had been following him for too long. He knew about several opportunities he had taken, and he must have already guessed in his heart. After all, this couldn't be concealed with luck.
It was better to go to the opportunity separately.
Of course, the main reason was also because Chen Yuan was very confident in his current strength. The previous battle could be considered a measure. Although he was as fragile as an ant in the face of existences at the level of Tian Lan Demon God,
he still had a certain advantage in the face of demon god essence blood avatars.
As for under the demon god, Chen Yuan really had nothing to fear now. Even the top three on the Heavenly Ranking were not worthy of his harm. At most, he would just be wary.
There was no hope of killing him.
The overall strength of the Southern Border demon race was not as good as that of the Central Plains. How many demon gods could there be?
Who would have thought that he would not stay in the Central Plains and go to Southern Border instead?
Under various considerations, Chen Yuan decided to enter Southern Border alone.
Having made a decision, Chen Yuan never hesitated. In any case, there were people in charge of the military and political affairs of Nanzhou. It was better if he was there, but if he wasn't, there would be no problem in the short term.
Only a few people knew about his departure from Southern Border.
Thus, just as the news of the Battle of Zhennan Pass swept the world, Chen Yuan... secretly left the Wang Mansion and headed south...
......
......
Just as Chen Yuan had predicted, there were too many people in Zhennan Pass, and it was too big. It was impossible to suppress the news, so it was better to add fuel to the fire and make it have a greater impact.
Under his impetus, the news first shook Nanzhou and Shuzhou, almost the entire territory cheering. The dark clouds pressing on the heads of tens of millions of people in the two prefectures finally dissipated.
The demon race was defeated! A great defeat!
The King of Yan won! A great victory!
Hundreds of thousands of heads were cut off, and the corpses were piled up like mountains. Countless people could swear to this.
Chen Yuan's prestige in Nanzhou and Shuzhou had almost reached the point where it could not be improved. Countless people built living shrines for Chen Yuan, praying to heaven to let Chen Yuan live forever.
Only powerful force was the guarantee of peace.
At this moment, when the news came, the people of Nanzhou and Shuzhou only felt incomparably safe.
The reputation of Chen Yuan in the Jianghu was almost at the point of worship. Previously, under Chen Yuan's strong suppression, countless sects and families were destroyed.
This caused many Jianghu martial artists to complain secretly, but when the demon race oppressed the human race, they found that only Chen Yuan could protect them.
A million demon soldiers, dozens of demon saints, and several 'demon gods.' What was the concept?
This force was almost invincible, but it still couldn't do anything to Chen Yuan. In this way, who could resist him?
Many people remembered that when the demon race's soldiers approached the border, they couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, their hearts filled with fear and fear for the future.
Now that the darkness had been driven away, it was naturally filled with light.
Yes, there was an exaggeration in the number of demon gods that Chen Yuan had.
One demon god and two demon god avatars directly became three major demon gods leading a million demon soldiers to press the border, and finally being defeated and killed.
The emotions in Nanzhou and Shuzhou fermented to the extreme. Afterward, when the news spread to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, the East Sea, Zhongzhou, and the various prefectures of the Central Plains,
many people's first reaction was that it was impossible, absolutely impossible!
How could Chen Yuan win?
Many of them were prepared for the allied forces to resist the demon race's soldiers, just waiting for the news of Chen Yuan's fall. Therefore, they had silently allowed Chen Yuan to be rampant at the beginning.
Countless forces were instantly silent because of this news, directly shocked.
The people cheered, and the Jianghu praised, but only on the bodies of the various rebel kings, there was an unusual agreement, that was to keep silent!
First, the King of Zhennan, controlling Nanzhou, and then defending against enemies outside the Central Plains, defeating a million demon soldiers, each and every one of them proved the gap between them and Chen Yuan was bigger than that between a dog and a human.
After a full few days of silence, after investigating the exact situation of that battle, King Liang Wei Jinfeng praised Chen Yuan as the pillar of the Central Plains, the pillar of the human race.
Although there was exaggeration in the news in the Jianghu, it basically conformed to the facts. He also respected Chen Yuan.
After him, Ye Xiangnan, the City Lord of Martial Emperor City, also expressed his admiration for Chen Yuan through Dengxian Tower.
But behind the overflowing sounds of praise, was the fear of Chen Yuan from the rebel kings of the world. Without prior consultation, the various prefectures of the Central Plains began to implement stricter blockades.
Moreover, they were rapidly training and expanding their armies, with signs that the various princes were attacking the King of Yan.
After Xiang Qianqiu heard the news of that battle, he was silent for a long time, without making any sound. To this day, he was still recalling the scene he saw that day.
His mind was very heavy.
While Chen Yuan shook the world, causing the rebel kings to join forces to target him, there were also some small forces who saw Chen Yuan's aura of a Lord of Men.
They had originally wanted to sell for a good price, so they did not hesitate to start secretly contacting Chen Yuan's side, expressing their willingness to surrender to the King of Yan, asking the King of Yan's army to come here, and they would definitely greet the royal army with baskets of food and pots of drink.
The new Emperor of Zhongzhou, Sima Ke, ostensibly praised Chen Yuan for defending against enemies outside the country, but behind the scenes, he quickly contacted his imperial sister, asking her to deepen her relationship with Chen Yuan.
If it really didn't work, he could send his mother-concubine to serve him, to seek Chen Yuan's love.
Princess Pingyang and several loyal officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, who were aware of the Emperor's surrender to Chen Yuan, also quickly convened a military conference, expressing their willingness to secretly send Chen Yuan everything he needed at any cost.
As long as he wanted it, as long as the imperial court had it, they would satisfy it.
Looking at the court officials who were excited because Chen Yuan had won a great victory over the demon race, Sima Ke also smiled very happily, and began to praise Chen Yuan endlessly.
The Emperor praised: "My father is a god, and has the posture of an Emperor!"

Here it comes, here it comes, though late, it is here.
