Chapter 79 Destroying the Sky and Destroying the Earth
As people who lived on land all year round, I found it difficult to understand a great flood. So even the remnants of the Dingling Tribe who heard the alarm didn't react in any way, only feeling that it had nothing to do with them. They continued to move northward slowly with their heads hanging down.
There was a long, long cliff on the east side of Zhongming Country, significantly less than a mile from the eastern gate of the longitudinal city, which was the slash-and-burn 10,000-foot cliff. Only the older adults inside the town had heard that Zongcheng City was built near the sea and the east gate was a natural harbor where people once fished for a living. But the era is too long ago. People nowadays have only seen the natural sea a long time ago. One can only see the endless calm shallows from high above. There was nothing except for the often heavy fog. That's why the people of Zongcheng City, or even the entire Zhongming Kingdom, seldom went to the east, thinking it was an ominous place.
Only the people from Nandu were much more nervous when they heard that there was a big flood coming. South of Nandu was the sea; there was always a big or small flood every year, and many people were fishing at sea for a living. They knew very well how horrible the power of the sea was. Nandu died, and the principal general, Dongfang Chang, initially fled around the troops; as soon as they heard the alarm of the east side of the big water, they all ran towards the west side of Zong Yu Mountain. Even if the Yue billet army at the south city gate wanted to catch them, they didn't care and directly pulled the Yue billet army and the Zong Yu City defenders together to run to the west. While running, they said in fear: "If we don't run yet, the Dragon King is going to eat people! Fighting a war is not as scary as a big flood!"
Shan Xiaohu could also see the tide getting closer and closer and even hear the roar of ten thousand horses galloping. Although Ouyang Zhong didn't have their eyesight and hearing, his nose was comparable to that of the roaring dog Xuan Mo, and he could smell the salty air in the air and an even more terrifying presence in the water that was stirring. The military and civilians of Zongcheng City were united, helping each other to withdraw from the hole in the ground quickly. Those who could go up the city wall went up the city wall, and those who could go to Zongyu Mountain went to Zongyu Mountain. No matter what, everyone did their best to run towards the high ground.
Ouyang Zhong saw the crowd making their escape in an orderly manner amidst the chaos and suddenly asked Shan Xiaohu's Fox Xiaxia, "Where's Xiao Xian? Where did Little Fairy go?"
Shan Xiaohu and Fox Xiaxia looked at each other in dismay. Yes, where is Fox Xiao Xian?
They used Thousand Mile Sound Transmission to search for her, yet there was no reply. Ouyang Zhong panicked. He pulled a general manning the western city gate and asked, "Where is Senator Hu? Where is Fox Xiao Xian, who was here just now?"
The general replied, a bit puzzled, "She just turned into a fox and burned the crows in the sky to death, then she rushed towards Zong Yu Mountain; she said that there was a strange movement over there to go and survey it."
Ouyang Zhong thought that if she could go to Zong Yu Mountain, she wouldn't be affected by the great water, so she would still be safe. But just as he was thinking this, he felt a sudden dizziness, followed by a sharp ringing in his ears. He looked at everyone with difficulty, and it turned out that everyone was like this. It hadn't been more than a few breaths before the earth began to shake and roar. Boulders were rolling down from the mountain high above Zong Yu Mountain, and the people who were originally going to flee up the hill to escape the flood were now shouting, screaming, and running in all directions. Those who ran fast dodged the torrent of debris, and those who ran slowly were either hit by the debris or wrapped up in the mountain's mudslide and rushed down the hill.
Ouyang Zhong transformed the dragon and flew into the sky, eagerly searching for Fox Xiao Xian's figure on Zong Yu Mountain. Finally, on one of the mountain peaks, he saw Fox Xiao Xian, who was fighting with a ferocious beast.
Just as Fox Xiao Xian was destroying the countless crows with her fireballs, she saw a demonic aura overflowing from the air on Zong Yu Mountain and tracked it. When she arrived at the entrance of the black gold mine in Zhongming, she saw that the place had just experienced a battle between us and the enemy. Both the generals and the Nandu army had fallen to the ground, with traces of different degrees of essence being sucked out of their bodies, which the Demon Sovereign indeed did. Then Fox Xiao Xian chased into the mine, with the magic gas getting heavier and heavier, and finally saw the depths of the mine in the black gold-suppressed monster. That monster in eight trigrams in the formation turned into a stone statue. The demon monarch's wisp of spirit into this stone statue began to tremble violently, and it was about to have signs of awakening.
"Not good! This is Legend, one of the four great beasts of ancient times! Master said that the Demon Monarch's true purpose is Zong Yu Mountain, so it's this TaoWu!" Fox Xiao Xian hurriedly cast a spell to open the Eight Trigrams Formation that suppressed this beast, hoping that Tao Wu would continue to be suppressed in its slumber or else the consequences would be unimaginable. While using her spells to suppress Tao Wu, she heard the sound of alarm bells outside the mountain, and her heart couldn't help but thump. Could the Demon Lord be going to awaken in the Yinghai Abyss? Although she didn't know where the Yinghai was, she couldn't ignore it if it was all related to the Demon Lord's present appearance.
Unfortunately, Fox Xiao Xian's magical power is still limited, and she cannot suppress Tao Wu with all her might. As Tao Wu's confinement was lifted, it let out a roar that could shatter one's internal organs and formed a vast shockwave that split the entire mountain and then escaped. Fox Xiao Xian was shocked by the shockwave and roar so much that she spat out blood from her mouth and almost fainted. She held her breath and slowed down for a moment, using her mind to send a message to Kunlun Mountain, and then lit up her Xuan Iron Sword and chased after Legend in the direction he had fled.
Fox Xiao Xian's magic power was no match for Tao Wu, but after only three or two moves, Tao Wu threw Fox Xiao Xian out heavily, while it did not suffer any damage. Fox Xiao Xian had blood in the corner of her mouth. He continued holding on with clenched teeth to delay Tao Wu from coming down the mountain, endangering the earth, and, even more importantly, buying time for her Master to come here. Only an immortal with high magical power like his Master could have a way to stop the legendary beast and the devil. At this moment, Ouyang Zhong rushed to her side. Ouyang Zhong hugged Fox Xiao Xian and asked eagerly, "How are you?"
Fox Xiao Xian smiled and said, "I can't die yet. You help me maneuver with this Tao Wu for a while. First, I'll catch my breath."
Ouyang Zhong smiled and said, "I'm happy that you're finally not so outgoing with me! You rest well." Then, he transformed into a dragon again and lunged at Tao Wu.
The shocking waves soon reached Zong City. The original ten thousand-foot cliffs were also submerged into an ocean; people stood on the once tall city walls and towers, but at the moment, they could also feel the seawater underneath their feet slamming against the walls repeatedly. Previously lived in the street houses all sunk to the bottom of the sea, Zong Yu mountain. After a short shock, people look at the enormous waves, have nowhere to go, and can only continue to climb up the hill with a hard head and hope to survive as the tide recedes.
Can have a place to stay to hide after all, or a few people, many people who did not climb the walls or up the mountain, were rushing waves into the water and died, those who are still on the way to the remnants of the Ministry of Dingling army did not manage to escape the power of the sea, growing up in the grassland people have never seen the sea. The first and last time to see the sea, but buried their lives.
The deaths caused by tidal waves and seismic mudslides were far more detrimental than those caused by the war. Nearly a million people lost their lives in a matter of moments. The natural disaster of destruction and the artificial disaster of war made people suffer a lot, but this was also when the greatest desire for survival was aroused. Now, people no longer have enemies and self, pulling each other, protecting and caring for each other, and trying to save a person if they can. Someone slipped on the mountain and quickly had several hands to help; some people fell into the water, immediately someone with all kinds of ways to pull people up.
Fox Xiaxia and Shan Xiaohu were busy running around looking after the people of Zongcheng and vigilantly looking out to the east to raise the alarm at any time. They saw that at the top of Zong Yu Mountain, Ouyang Zhonghua Dragon was tangling with Tao Wu and was disadvantaged. There was a Tao Wu here! Both of them were shocked in their hearts.
Shan Xiaohu told Fox Xiaxia, "You take care of this place. I'll go help Ouyang Zhong!"
Fox Xiaxia momentarily pulled on Shan Xiaohu 's arm and said, "Senior brother, be careful!"
Shan Xiaohu gave a big smile, so he turned into a vast lynx and ran to the top of Zong Yu Mountain. Fox Xiaxia hurriedly contacted Kunlun Mountain with her mana, but a few of their little fairies could barely hold it up.
But it is afraid of what will come, another wave than the last momentum is even more huge waves rushed again. Fox Xiaxia mobilized his entire body's mana to form a considerable mana barrier at the eastern gate of Zongcheng to block and dissipate the impact of the waves. Although it had some effect, he really couldn't support himself for too long, but after half a tea time, Fox Xiaxia was already panting, his hands trembling as he held on stiffly. The corners of his mouth were also gradually flowing out crimson blood; his black hair gradually receded into white hair, and even his handsome face was aging with the naked eye.
On the other hand, in Ouyang Zhong, several people are struggling to drag down Tao Wu; if it goes down the mountain, it will not be able to survive anyone. This ferocious beast was not only infinitely solid and robust but also brutal and bloodthirsty and loved to eat people the most. That strand of the Demon Monarch's Yuan Shen injected into it increased its dark mana even more. Even the combined efforts of Shan Xiaohu, Fox Xiaoxian, and Ouyang Zhong could not subdue it. They could only be described as barely entangling and holding it back, preventing it from descending the mountain to attack the humans already during deep water and fire.
Just then, Tao Wu also became annoyed and angry as he let out the voice of a demonic ruler and roared, ''You Xiao Xians who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, how dare you block this king's way? Since you guys are so anxious to die, then I will fulfill your wishes. Come on! As my tribute, offer your flesh and souls to help me be able to break my confinement and reappear in the world!" Then Legend's figure grew bigger and bigger, opening his bloody mouth and opening his soul-sucking and soul-taking demonic techniques towards Fox Xiao Xian and the other three.
Fox Xiao Xian was already heavily injured, she was almost sucked in when she was unsteady, but fortunately, she was caught in time by Shan Xiaohu and Ouyang Zhong together. While casting spells to resist, Shan Xiaohu said with difficulty, ''We can't all fold here. Do you guys remember that the Demon Lord's goal is the two of their physical bodies and souls? So you guys must not be sucked in by this beast." Then Shan Xiaohu fiercely pushed Ouyang Zhong and shouted, "Ouyang Zhong, quickly take Xiao Xian away!" Then Shan Xiaohu held the Purple Gold Battle Axe and turned into a silver-colored light rushing into Legend's mouth, vowing to die together.
"Third senior brother !!!! Don't !!!!" Fox Xiao Xian fainted in grief. The loss of two close friends and family members in a row caused her a lot of pain. Ouyang Zhong turned into a dragon to carry Fox Xiao Xian on his back and flew towards the Citadel of Zong City. He saw that Fox Xiaxia was also about to lose her support, so he put down Fox Xiao Xian and said to Fox Xiaxia, ''You take care of Little Fairy, and by the way, take a rest as well! How is it that a big, handsome man has become older in a short while? Looking at it is heartbreaking, ah!" He shed tears but told jokes.
Teacher Xuan Mo died in battle, the enemy killed Brother Xiaohu, Brother Fox's magic power was about to run out of oil and lamps, and the most beloved Fox Xiaoxian, both physically and mentally, suffered severe injuries unconscious. The people are resisting under the threat of death. At this moment, his companions are using their lives to protect his safety. It was time for him to protect everyone.
He thought that although he could not remember exactly what had happened in his past life, since he was a dragon and in the deep waters of the Sumeru Mirage, it was clear that he was free to roam.
"Maybe my power has never been properly exerted." Ouyang Zhong muttered to Fox Xiaxia and Fox Xiao Xian, "I'll go deal with this sea. Don't you guys be alright! Wait for me to come back!" Fox Xiaxia also fell on the roof with tears in her eyes, choking for a moment, barely pulling out a smile to dislike Ouyang Zhong. "Don't worry. We're all scourges waiting for you to come back!"
Ouyang Zhong leaped into the deep sea. The seawater wrapped, the waves caressed him, and something called from the ocean's depths. He had never felt a sense of closeness so truly. Like a wanderer wandering for many years, he finally returned to his hometown after a long absence. This closeness and familiarity that moved him to tears shocked him. After all, besides seeing the ocean in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, he had not touched seawater in real life.
Countless memory fragments emerged in his heart, as if in front of his eyes reappeared the crystal palace where he once lived, the dragon king, mother, brothers and sisters, all kinds of aquatic people, everyone happy scene. At that time, he was still a dragon egg, and his father and mother invited many people to him to celebrate his birthday. I am curious who gave him a small fox-form doll as a gift! The little fox doll has a long fox tail wrapped in his egg; he can feel the first incomparable softness and warmth; from then on, he is very fond of this fox tail doll, and even after the shell is still holding, the doll does not let go.
Remember the father while holding him, while telling the story of sleep: the vastness of the sea, there are a few sea eyes, as long as the sea eye is covered, the sea will be calm and peaceful if the sea eye is open, the sea will be tossing angry, not only the sea inside the living beings will be the sea sucked into the eye of the sea, and even the people on the shore will be the fury of the sea swept away, everything will sink to the bottom of the sea. The eye of the sea is hidden in dark and slimy black water; as long as the eye of the sea is subdued, the raging ocean will be calmed, and the tide will recede.
I don't remember exactly what day it was; I only remember breakfast with my father and mother, who were still feeding him a little soup. Suddenly, the coral table where the food was usually placed fell. Food was scattered everywhere, and then everything in the crystal palace collapsed; the father and a few brothers went out for a long time and didn't come back, and the mother and queen took her sister and herself to hide in a dark cave. After a violent earthquake and tsunami, the Crystal Palace was reduced to rubble, and the Queen Mother entrusted herself to the soft-shelled soft-shelled turtle Prime Minister to search for her father and several brothers.
At that time, he was too young to understand anything, but he only felt scared. Then, he kept crying; his sister and the fox doll in his hand were lost. Later, he saw his father, mother, and many relatives and aquatic people were sucked into an underwater abyss, the old soft-shelled turtle exerted his last strength to carry the young dragon son to the surface of the sea, and after sending him to the shore, the old soft-shelled turtle gradually sank to the bottom of the ocean after being injured too much. From then on, the young one began to wander in the six worlds. Over time, he gradually grew up but could no longer remember who he was. Where did he come from?
He only remembers that his family called him "Brother Zhong," but his full name is unclear; he looked at the silt in the pond and casually named himself "Ni Zhong." He learned his magic skills by stealing from different immortal caves he encountered while wandering. One day, he was seen by the other side teaching martial arts; the other side chased him and beat him up; he fled several mountains before falling into the Kunlun Mountain Fengxi Stream by mistake.
When he finally remembered the origin of his own body, he immediately felt heartache like a knife, but now was not the time to be sad. As long as you can find the eye of the sea, the entire vertical city and even the entire continent can restore the peace of the past. Find it, quickly find it!
Ouyang Zhong mobilized all the mana in his body to perceive the entire sea area, trying to find the location of the sea eye, but he didn't see the sea eye, but he found the undersea abyss that sucked all his relatives in.
"Maybe this abyss is the eye of the sea ..." Ouyang Zhong thought to himself. So he accelerated his speed and quickly swam toward the undersea abyss.
Just as Ouyang Zhong was searching for the eye of the sea at the bottom of the sea, Zongcheng was facing an even more significant threat. The Tao Wu still went down the mountain, and when it was on the hill, it kept hunting people who were hiding from the flood on the mountain, sucking innocent people into his belly. The beast's belly became bigger and bigger, and his greed grew stronger and stronger.
Fox Xiaxia and Fox Xiaoxian, holding each other up, took out their weapons again to fight with Legend to the death. Shan Xiaohu, inside Tao Wu's stomach, was also trying to use his last magic power to seal the devil's spirit and stop him from continuing his evil deeds.
When everyone was exhausted and about to despair, Erlang Shen and Nan Ji Immortal finally arrived. Erlang Shen first fought with Legend for dozens of rounds but still couldn't completely turn the situation around. Finally, the two great deities with high Immortal Laws joined hands together before finally subduing Legend and setting up a mana barrier for Zongcheng City and Zong Yu Mountain. Within the barrier, the water receded, and people could escape for the time being. The mortals watched as so many immortals came to their rescue, kneeling and showing gratitude.
Fox Xiao Xian held up the alchemy furnace that Xuan Mo had finally turned into, begged Erlang Shen to save Xuan Mo, and begged Master to save his third senior brother.
Looking at the devastated and corpse-strewn earthly world, both Erlang Shen and Nanji Immortal had a bad taste in their hearts.
Nanji Immortal turned Legend into a stone statue again and handed it over to Erlang Shen to take it back to the Heavenly Court. Everything that Tao swallowed, Wu was stripped out and became a grain of Yuan Shen. The largest of them glowed with a silver-blue light. Nanji Immortal looked at Shan Xiaohu's Yuan Shen Dan with pity and carefully put it into his sleeve pouch.
The Demon Monarch's wisp of Yuan Shen was initially attached to Tao Wu's body. Still, at this time, it was also forced out by the combined efforts of the two gods, and the Demon Monarch was just about to run away when he was sucked into the dog-shaped alchemy furnace retrieved by Erlangshen from across the sky. Erlangshen activated his own Samadhi accurate fire to cast spells to quench. The alchemy furnace emitted the screams of wolves crying and ghosts howling, and the Demon Monarch's Yuan Shen wisp was finally refined in Xuanmo's stomach.
The Master brought He Yunfeng and Mei Xiangzi to the side of Fox Xiaxia and Fox Xiaoxian. Looking at the siblings' tragic appearance, the always strict and unsmiling elder brother, He Yunfeng, sadly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Mei Xiangzi rushed to take the prepared pills to the elder brother and sister.
Mei Xiangzi looked at Fox Xiaxia. Even because of the excessive mana consumption, there were already signs of exhaustion, and he did not say anything directly to him to transport the law. At this moment, what do you care about the rules and regulations of heaven? Why do you care not to use heavy law on earth? As long as you can save the lives of your younger siblings, violating a few rules of heaven is not a big deal, but it is also on the torture table to let the lightning strike for a few years.
A consistently strong fox, a tiny fairy, at this moment with a crying voice, begged this Master: "Please, Master, save a few senior brothers, save the human beings who have experienced the disaster of war, as well as Ouyang Zhong, who jumped into the sea and has not yet returned. I must go to find him."
