Chapter 348: Facing the AbyssChapter 348: Facing the Abyss (Part )
Yaksha City fell.
The 300,000 hunting troops stationed here were completely defeated and annihilated in just a cup of tea.
Twelve million permanent residents of Kyushu were all reduced to slaves, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, and were driven to several nearby mountains, wielding pickaxes and digging for various metal ores with a clanging sound.
High in the sky, the battleship was suspended, with the armor plates on both sides open. Tens of thousands of tiny laser cannon muzzles glowed dimly, ready to kill anyone who dared to resist or escape.
On the ground, the mechas of the brigades ranged in height from three to ten feet, with smooth and graceful appearance, and their entire bodies were wrapped in energy shields like water waves. They patrolled silently, and from time to time, high-pitched electronic sounds were heard, scolding the residents of the city, "Work harder, work harder, and whoever dares to be lazy will have his entire family implicated."
Yaksha City, formerly the Yaksha Palace, now the Western Chu Imperial Palace.
In front of the tall throne, several big-headed old men were lined up. Their heads were smooth without a single hair. Along their hairlines, they were decorated with a circle of tiny gems that sparkled and added a bit of weirdness to them.
"So, you overthrew the rule of the Yaksha people?" A big-headed old man roared in disbelief, "Nonsense, absolute nonsense. You people of Jiuzhou are slaves and accomplices of the Yaksha people. They drove you to destroy our civilization and forced us to leave our home planet and wander in the void."
"Now, you actually tell us that you slaves have overthrown the rule of the Yaksha people?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The big-headed old men roared angrily. In the hall, many big-headed men wearing funny gray tights and holding high-powered high-energy guns also nodded. Their faces turned purple with anger. It was obvious that they all thought they were fooled.
The current emperor of the Western Chu Empire... well, after the Yaksha tribe was overthrown by Xing Tianli, all the various forces in the Nine Provinces in Yaksha City formed alliances, and the original emperor abdicated on the charge of "fawning on foreign races". The new emperor who ascended the throne was a young man in his twenties who was born sinister and deep.
At this moment, Emperor Xiang Mo, who had been procrastinating for a year and was still recuperating, unwilling to go to Chujing to meet Xing Tianli and Xiang Liang, was kneeling on the ground, shaking uncontrollably like sieved bran.
"My Lords, I, I am not lying." Xiang Mo said tremblingly, "With the power of me and the other ministers, of course, we cannot resist the tyranny of the Yaksha people... But, oh, the gods from heaven, among the Miao people of Jiuzhou, there is a great sage born, his name is Xing Tianli, he is the state teacher of this dynasty... Under his hands, the Yaksha people are like withered dry wood and rotten wood, they can't stand a single blow."
Xiang Mo blinked his eyes desperately, just wanting to attract all the attention of these inexplicably appearing enemies to Xing Tianli.
"National Master?" Several big-headed old men gathered together and muttered in a low voice for a while.
Afterwards, they asked several big men to hold electric whips and give Xiang Mo a severe lesson, asking him to tell them everything related to Xing Tianli, everything he knew, and all the information related to Xing Tianli, without any detail.
Unfortunately, Xiang Mo had never seen Xing Tianli.
Everything he knew about Xing Tianli was bits and pieces he heard from various channels.
Soon, Xiang Mo opened his mouth, but could not confess anything.
"Go, dig for minerals." After a while, a big-headed old man straightened up and pointed at Xiang Mo with great dignity: "Look at your delicate skin and tender flesh, your existence like a parasite is really disgusting. Let him, his relatives, and ministers go to mine... Set a three-fold quota of ore for them. If they fail to meet the quota every day, they will be starved and beaten!"
The other big-headed old man added fiercely: "Beat him to death!"
Xiang Mo's body twitched violently. He raised his pale face and looked at these big-headed guys in extreme despair.
He regretted it.
He really should have rushed to meet Xing Tianli a year ago. He really should have returned to Chujing and stayed there. He would not have encountered the bad luck today, right?Xiang Mo was dragged out.
The big-headed old men gathered together and continued to discuss.
Finally, they decided to expand their territory and take down a few cities. Their people were too few, and the warships they had could only control such a small area.
After enslaving the people of Kyushu and mining enough ore, they can sell these high-quality ores, trade for more warships, more advanced weapons, and conquer larger territories, thus creating a virtuous circle.
In Chujing City, Xing Tianli quickly received the news.
Yaksha City was taken down.
Fortunately, there were not many hunting troops stationed in Yaksha City.
Unlike the Yaksha people who directly assigned their hunting corps to Chujing and Yaksha City, in the current Western Chu Empire, the hunting corps is distributed all over the country and stationed in various cities, especially in the nature reserves where the Yaksha people are heavily surrounded.
There were only 300,000 hunting troops in Yaksha City, and these enemies with big, protruding heads only forced the people of Kyushu to mine, and did not do anything too excessive to them.
"No matter where they come from, they don't take us seriously, do they?" Xing Tianli frowned and whistled. After three breaths, the Tongtian Creation Tower turned into a streak of light and quickly rushed back from the horizon.
With a loud 'boom', the huge Tongtian Creation Tower shrank to the size of a thumb, like a nimble hummingbird, and quickly rotated around the Xingtian Carp several times.
"Let's go, let's go meet these guys. Um, the civilization that was destroyed by the Yaksha people?"
Xing Tianli murmured, "Where do they get the strength and courage to seek revenge on the Yaksha?"
From the memories of Chi Hehe and other high-ranking Yaksha leaders, Xing Tianli obtained information about these big-headed, gray-skinned people - the Tarot people, a strange group with extremely high wisdom and talent, but a national character that is too stubborn and likes to stick to one path to the end.
Because of their single-mindedness, many of their research projects in the past have come to a dead end, but they still invested endless resources in them, investing immeasurable manpower and material resources... Most importantly, they wasted too many years and time.
This led to the fact that when the Yaksha people came, the technological level of the Tarot people, who had developed for a million years, was only slightly higher than that of Xing Tianli's hometown in his previous life. With such a technological level, facing such a powerful Yaksha people, it was really a collapse. Most of the Tarot people were destroyed, and only a few lucky ones drove crude ships and escaped into the void.
But how many years have passed?
Given the Tarot people's stubborn personalities and the meager resources they have after losing their home planet, how dare they, how could they, open the world gate that can only be opened one-way and directly counterattack the Yaksha Star?Water clouds rose into the sky, and Xing Tianli and his group rode on the clouds and headed straight for Yaksha City.
It was only a distance of a few thousand miles, and soon, Xing Tianli and others had reached the outskirts of Yaksha City. Three small but gracefully shaped warships had discovered them, and they immediately made a nimble turn, suddenly accelerated, and headed straight for them.
Without any intention of greeting, more than 100,000 extremely fine red lasers were already shooting at them from more than 300 miles away from Xing Tianli and the others. These three small warships were small in size, but their energy furnaces and weapon systems were of extremely high quality. Each thumb-thick aurora could easily kill ordinary celestial beings!
No wonder the hunting troops stationed in Yaksha City were no match at all.
In this world without any spiritual power, even those hunting soldiers who have cultivated themselves, the strongest combat power they can exert is only that of earthly immortals.
As the sleeves of the Taoist robe with purple ribbons were rolled up, purple air suddenly rose all over the sky. The vast purple air seemed to be condensed from crystal, crystal clear, and shining brightly for thousands of miles. The air diffused for miles, and hundreds of thousands of lasers were shot down, but were all swallowed up by the vortex-shaped purple air, and directly refined into wisps of primordial Qi by Xing Tianli using the fundamental method of "A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth".
"Go on, show me..." Before Xing Tianli could finish his words, Xiang Liang roared and rushed out on a half-mechanical, half-flesh black horse that Xing Tianli had made for him using mechanical and biological technology and the magical power of 'mediating creation'. The horse was a combination of mechanical and biological technology and the magical power of 'mediating creation', and it emitted a beam of black light.
The Taiyi-level Wuzhuima combat puppet is so fast that it can become a beam of light.
With three crisp "bangs", the halberd in Xiang Liang's hand, which was made of "heavy iron" mixed with forty-eight other special metal ores of Yaksha Star, and although it could not contain magic power, was extremely heavy, hard and suitable for physical cultivation, had already hit the three warships with incredible violence.
The energy shield exploded, and the three small warships were bent by Xiang Liang.
With a deafening sound of breaking through the air, the three warships tore through the air, creating visible sonic boom rings, and flew backwards for hundreds of miles - the three shuttle-shaped warships were surprisingly broken in half by a single blow, but were not torn apart.
The materials used in these three warships were surprisingly "flexible" and their extremely strong tensile strength made Xiang Liang unable to break them with one blow, but only folded them in half. With the extremely harsh sound of metal stretching, the three folded warships actually returned to their original appearance bit by bit.
Xiang Liang was stunned. His eyes flashed with surprise as he looked up and down at the three warships.
This kind of strange metal, without any fluctuation of magical power, can actually recover on its own after being deformed by external trauma?
Such means have not even been found in Maria's mechanical army - I don't know, is it that the master of the mechanical army cannot master such materials, or is Maria's grade not high enough and she is not qualified to obtain such high-level materials?More warships swarmed in, and red lasers roared over the sky.
A laser as thick as a thumb can threaten a fairy.
When more than a hundred thumb-thick lasers suddenly merged into one, its power was enough to threaten a Golden Immortal...
And when these warships found that the scattered lasers could not cause any damage to the purple gas emitted by Zishou Daoyi, they closed the armor plates on both sides, revealing the lonely gun muzzle as thick as a water tank in front of the warship.
Purple-red high-energy particle streams blasted out silently, and the power of these particle streams actually posed a certain threat to the Half-Step Taiyi Realm.
However, it is only a bit of a threat to Half-Step Taiyi.
Fortunately, Xing Tianli had removed the purple air from his purple robe. He pulled open his robe, exposing his chest, and allowed streams of particles as thick as water tanks to hit his body. His skin was glowing with light, and he seemed to have turned into a human black hole. No matter how many particles were madly output, his skin did not even change color.
Behind these warships, in Yaksha City, a metal ball with a diameter of about three miles, which was clearly made up of dozens of warships that had changed their shapes, slowly rose into the air. In the middle of this metal ball, a gun muzzle with a diameter of a hundred feet was flashing a dark light.
Xing Tianli sighed.
The attack methods of these guys who follow the path of mechanical civilization and technology are so monotonous and boring.
However, this metal sphere actually made Xing Tianli feel inexplicably creepy.
No wonder these Tarot people dared to come and seek revenge on the Yaksha people.
The lethality of this metal ball has indeed reached the Daluo realm.
However, it seemed that they had only reached the threshold of the Daluo realm... Xing Tianli breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that these Tarot people had been fooled?
The figures of thirteen Yaksha ghosts flashed behind Xing Tianli, and they lined up in a row, blocking Xing Tianli and his group. The sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and an extremely condensed black light wave blasted out silently. Wherever it passed, all matter, including the air, was swallowed up and annihilated, turning into the energy of this black light wave.
A Yaksha Ghost Lord raised dozens of arms, overlapping his palms, blooming like flowers, like a shield, protecting himself. The black light wave hit his palms, and the light wave vibrated and jumped, releasing terrifying power continuously. The sun and the moon were dark, and all the natural light that fell into this area was completely swallowed up by the black light wave.
This went on for a full quarter of an hour.
The huge metal ball became dull in color, and a weak humming sound continued to come from inside, as if it had been completely drained and was almost dying.
There was no casualty.
If this black light wave faced a cultivator who had just entered the Daluo realm, it would have wiped him out. However, the thirteen Yaksha Ghost Lords created by Xing Tianli had traveled a very long distance in the Daluo realm before their death, and their physical strength could almost compete with ordinary Daluo perfect body cultivators.
After their deaths, Xing Tianli processed them using the secret technique of the ghost way, and also integrated a sufficient amount of the essence of the mother tree of the world.
Their powers far exceed those in their lifetime, and they have mastered extraordinary magical powers and secret techniques.
This black light wave can't even hurt them at all.
Xing Tianli came out from behind Yaksha Ghost Lord and said coldly to Yaksha City: "Is that enough? Is this all you have? Who gave you the courage to seek revenge on the Yaksha people?"
On a metal platform above the metal ball, several big-headed old men of the highest status stared at Xing Tianli in amazement. They were all trembling with fear, and their bodies were covered with sticky cold sweat. One big-headed old man even screamed at the top of his lungs: "How is it possible? We paid such a heavy price... The astronomical master told us that this time, the weapons we exchanged, no one in the Yaksha tribe can stop us!"
Xing Tianli widened his eyes.
He exchanged glances with the Black Sun leader and others around him, and had a vague feeling that these bigwigs might have been tricked.
Xing Tianli laughed dryly and said, "Who is that astronomical master? He told you that when you take revenge on this big metal lump you brought, no one among the Yaksha tribe will be able to stop you?"
Several big-headed old men nodded honestly.
Xing Tianli spread out his hands.
That astronomical master still had some integrity - that's right, no one in the Yaksha tribe could stop it, because those who could resist the black light wave had already been eliminated by Xing Tianli. It was difficult to find a terrestrial immortal in the Yaksha tribe now, let alone a tribe member in the Daluo realm.
However, didn’t the astronomer tell these unfortunate guys that Xing Tianli, who killed the Yaksha clan, is more terrifying than the entire Yaksha clan combined?
The Tongtian Creation Tower rose into the sky, and countless fighting puppets swarmed out.
Three Daluo, eight hundred Taiyi, and the rest were all Golden Immortal fighting forces - such a torrent roared out that even Xing Tianli felt his scalp tingling - God bless, this is a treasure created by Xing Tianli himself, and it is completely under his control.
Xing Tian couldn't imagine what he could do if he encountered such an army coming towards him on the battlefield.
He himself is just a small, insignificant Taiyi!Everything went smoothly and the Tarot people were captured.
They had no room to resist at all.
Xiang Mo, who had just been sent to the mine and had his palms rubbed by the pickaxe, was whining and trying to slack off, so he was beaten hard by the Tarot supervisor. He was almost beaten to death. After receiving emergency treatment, he returned to the Western Chu Palace that he had just left with a group of princes and ministers.
Xing Tianli sat on the throne quite comfortably, smiling at Xiang Mo and others who walked in with gloomy faces.
Xiang Mo and his group finally realized the cruel truth - without the protection of Xing Tianli, they would be like weaklings at the mercy of anyone. Even a mere Tarot person who was easily exterminated by the Yaksha people could easily defeat them.
Xiang Mo and a group of Xiang clan descendants knelt on the ground obediently.
"Greetings to the Great Immortal Master who protects the country." The group bowed in worship, and then Xiang Mo said with a bit of flattery and a rather obedient smile: "Master Xingtian, I have ordered those great Confucian scholars to help you come up with a brilliant and elegant Taoist name, which I will announce to the world later..."
Xiang Liang couldn't bear to see this.
This spineless, sycophantic guy is actually a descendant of the Xiang family?Asshole, this guy didn't obey Xing Tianli and himself, Xiang Liang knew it, but he wasn't angry. Xiang's sons were not afraid of ambitions, not afraid of having different intentions, Xiang Liang was angry about - you kid, you have the guts to not come to see me for a year, you kid got into trouble, why don't you clean up your own ass?He is incompetent, yet he occupies a high position and is so fawning... Such descendants should be beaten to death.
Xiang Liang rushed forward and beat Xiang Mo violently, making Xiang Mo cry out in pain and his bones were broken. He looked very miserable for a while.
Several Tarot elders standing nearby were so frightened that their souls left their bodies and they could hardly stand.
With the help of Xiang Mo, the chicken, Xing Tianli began to question the monkeys, the chief elder of the Tarot people, in a gentle voice.
