Chapter 43: Slaying the Demons
Yihao liberated the prohibition of the "Chaos Egg" in his hand, and the seal on it expanded into a circular closed space with a diameter of several miles in the void, the surface of the space was pitch black, and the outer layer was suspended with countless golden runes, and the runes were circled into circles of different sizes along the surface of the dark space, overlapping layer by layer, locking the dark space tightly in it.
"It's ...... What is it? The dragon frowned, looking at the closed space in front of him, as if it was obscuring the sky and the sun. Intense demonic energy was leaking out of the darkness, and she could even see countless alien demons dancing in ecstasy, which should have destroyed these abominable demons immediately, but the outer golden runes exuded pure light aura, which made her feel quite confused.
“…… Multilayered Three-Dimensional Magic Array...... It's the seal of hell......" A voice came from the side, and the imperial dragon looked back, only to see a light spirit trying to get close to here, but it was overwhelmed by her divine power, and it was almost extinguished.
"Hell's seal?" With a wave of his hand, the dragon summoned Gabriel over, and with his divine power, the archangel instantly regained his original form, and even the second pair of wings, which had already degenerated, were completely manifested. “…… You're the guest brought by Suzaku? The dragon looked Gabriel up and down, then turned his attention back to the black ball. You say 'seal', what is that? ”
"Yes...... The gateway to hell, the only way for thousands of demons to reach the world. Gabriel bowed her head in awe, and the overwhelming divine power emanating from the imperial dragon made her recall the glory of meeting the Lord in the heavenly realm, so she replied more respectfully. The magic circle outside is the seal of the heavenly realm, it is imprisoning the portal of hell, if the magic circle is broken, this will become the entrance to hell to the world, so ......"
"Why does this kind of thing appear in Penglai?" The dragon interrupted her, narrowing his eyes slightly. "You brought it?"
“…… Please forgive your sins. Gabriel, feeling the dragon's wrath, reflexively fell to his knees and folded his two pairs of wings in obedience—and this is usually the gesture of an angel's loyalty to the Lord, even tame.
“…… I'll deal with you later. After all, the descendants of Yan and Huang have always had a tradition of tolerance, so in the face of the archangel who had no intention of resisting, the imperial dragon was a little unable to make a move, and with a wave of his hand, he ejected Gabriel several miles away, and then turned to face the exit to hell - under the influence of Chiyou Shenwei, the golden runes of the seal were gradually eroded by the darkness, and the black ball began to expand again, and it was about to break through the shackles of the seal.
"Hmm......" The Imperial Dragon looked at the extremely cumbersome seal with some headaches, although the divine power on it was not strong, but the way it operated was completely different from the spells she knew, and there was no time for her to tell them one by one. Huh! Trouble, destroy it together! So, the dragon decided to simply put his power into it.
The divine power that filled the heavens and the earth began to flow slowly, converging in the direction of the imperial dragon, and the earth of Penglai trembled like a wail, and above the ruins below, an object appeared in the collapsed ruins, and the dazzling glow invaded the imperial dragon's vision in an instant.
"Xuanyuan Sword!" The imperial dragon subconsciously beckoned, and the Xuanyuan Sword flew briskly in front of her. "Father, why ......" Huang Long looked at the divine sword suspended in front of him, with an incredible surprise on his face, after all, no matter how she called before, Xuanyuan Sword always rejected her will, but now suddenly......
The Imperial Dragon stretched out his hand and tried to grasp the hilt of Xuanyuan's sword, and at the same time, a golden flame rose from the sword's body, and she felt the familiar warmth in the flames, and at the same time heard a sound that was vague. “…… Want me, save him? The dragon turned his head to look at the closed space in front of him, but then closed his eyes, and the concentrated divine consciousness instantly pierced through the figures of the demons dancing in the darkness, bringing the deeper scene into the horizon - there, Yi Hao was lying on the ground as if he had lost his strength, and a huge black shadow enveloped him and slowly eroded his body.
"Understood, since this is what my father meant......" The imperial dragon opened his eyes, and the ice blue eyes exploded with a bright sun. Kamui, which had been slowly circulating in the atmosphere, suddenly set off a tornado like a typhoon, and the barrier of the storm squeezed the locked space from all sides. On the edge of the storm and darkness, two transcendent forces collided and rubbed violently.
With an explosion, the runes burst out with a cluster of fire, and they were wiped out in an instant, and the seal of the Heavenly Realm could not withstand such an impact and collapsed. It's just that the gate of hell not only failed to take the opportunity to open, but the black ball was squeezed inward by the tornado, and in just a few minutes, the black ball that was originally several miles in diameter was compressed to less than 100 meters, and the power of the tornado became more and more fierce.
“…… It's impossible ......," Gabriel stared blankly at the scene. The seal that had been barely formed by gathering the power of all the archangels was broken so lightly, and what was even more incredible was that the Imperial Dragon had imprisoned the gates of hell with only one hand.
“…… Is that! The crimson sky was suddenly filled with dazzling golden light, and Gabriel jerked his head up to see the figure standing above the storm—the imperial dragon stared at the black ball below, and raised the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, the sparkle of the blade making her look as if she was holding the sun.
The pause was only a matter of a moment, and in the next moment, the imperial dragon slashed down with a sword......
……………………
In the sea of consciousness, Yihao once again confronted the man who was shrouded in a dark cloak, and unlike before, the darkness around him was now as thick as substance, and even the firebird that guarded him was swallowed by the darkness.
At this moment, the man was placing his right hand on his chest, and the MONOCULUS Totem had moved to his hand.
"Why do you have to resist...... The cold voice continued to stimulate Yihao's crumbling spiritual defense. As I said, we are just different levels of the same soul, and when we merge, I will inherit your memories and thoughts, and you will not disappear ......"
"Who...... Who listens to your nonsense......" Yihao tried to roar, but he could only make a faint sound, the darkness that invaded from the man's hand was constantly devouring his body, and now his hands and feet around him were paralyzed, and even the sound of his heartbeat was gradually fainting, if it weren't for the willpower of ordinary people to support him, I'm afraid Yihao would have sunk into the darkness long ago.
"Give up, you can't succeed, ...... in front of the power of this demon god" The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, as if a sinister smile appeared, but this smile quickly froze. Because from the darkness behind him, there was a ray of light mixed with supreme divine power, and the glow shot straight onto Yihao's body, and instantly melted away the darkness in his body.
"Hmm!" The man screamed, was violently bounced off Yihao's body, and then looked back as if he felt something, and immediately his eyes reflected an unbelievable scene - only to see that the infinitely deep dark door that connected to hell was actually being torn apart by a beam of light! The scene reminds people of the embankment before it collapsed, and what crushed the embankment was the mighty power of the imperial dragon.
“…… Gates of Hell...... Chopped up? This was the man's last voice, for in the next moment a torrent of light broke through the of darkness and engulfed the darkness along with his being......
……………………
"Hmm......" Feeling surrounded by inexplicable warmth, Yi Hao Xun woke up, looked at the golden light that enveloped his whole body in disbelief, then moved his right hand to his eyes, tried to move, and then began to pull his cheeks, a little not like pain, is it a dream......
"Don't worry, this is the reality......" A dignified voice came from above, Yihao subconsciously looked up, but saw a huge dragon looking down at him, the dragon's whole body was covered with golden scales, and the back was covered with silky silver hair, and he was sitting on it now.
Compared to the overbearing and fierce dragon in the impression, this golden dragon gave people a softer feeling, and the deep blue pupils showed obvious concern. "That demon has been slain by me, how do you feel now...... Yihao. When his name was called, the golden dragon hesitated, as if he was not used to being so close to others.
“…… Imperial Dragon? However, it is even more unaccustomed to Yihao's side, if the attitude in front of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is only the recklessness of the newborn calf who is not afraid of the tiger, then now he does understand the supreme rank of the imperial dragon in the red world, although it has not yet reached the point of wanting to bow down, but being treated so kindly by this supreme god, it is the first time that he has such a feeling of helplessness.
"Looks like you're all right...... "The dragon seemed to chuckle, but Yi Hao wasn't sure, a warm glow enveloped him, and Yi Hao involuntarily relaxed his whole body and lay back on the soft fur of the dragon .
"Your mind and body are in a rather tired state, just close your eyes and rest, I will deal with a qiē ......" When the rare gentle voice of the imperial dragon sounded, Yihao had already fallen asleep.
……………………
Five days have passed since the Imperial Dragon's wrath, and the land of Penglai has gradually returned to calm. During this period, although Yihao could enjoy a quiet sleep under the careful care of Jingyu, the residents of Penglai other than the two of them, and even including the four gods, became synonymous with hot pot ants for a while.
As the Imperial Dragon's anger subsided, the storm that raged over Penglai gradually subsided, and the leveled mountains were also restored by the Imperial Dragon's magical power to manipulate the leylines. Among the four gods, Xuanwu is responsible for repairing the broken rivers, Qinglong sets out to restore the forest landscape on the barren slopes, Baihu patrols Penglai, searching for traces of ancient demons, and Suzaku arranges for the rescue of Penglai's residents instead of Qinglong.
Broadly speaking, there are three people who caused the rare disaster of Penglai, one is the eternal fierce god Chi You who destroyed the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum and the Imperial Dragon Palace, the second is the imperial dragon who almost cut off the imperial dragon under the rage, and the third is the mortal boy who destroyed the Qiankun Ding, released the fierce gods of the ages, and finally even tried to open the gate of hell...... In fact, although Jingyu racked her brains to share Yihao's guilt as much as possible on the heads of the other two gods, in fact, she herself knew that the residents of Penglai would probably only accept the simplest kind, that is, Yihao was the culprit who caused this disaster!
Of course, the public opinion of Penglai residents is not so important. In fact, there is only one person in this land who has the absolute right to dispose of everything - the will of the Emperor Dragon will determine the life and death of Yi Hao, if the Emperor Dragon intends to forgive Yi Hao, then no one in Penglai will dare to hold Yi Hao responsible; If the Imperial Dragon wants to hold Yihao responsible, then even Suzaku probably has only the choice of throwing Yihao into the Sanyang Hell......
Jingyu sincerely looked forward to the former possibility, but she also knew that the chances of life were almost desperate, because the disaster caused by Yihao was too great! The Imperial Dragon Palace is ignored, but the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is a forbidden place in the Penglai Forbidden Land, and Yihao not only stepped into it, but even led to the birth of the eternal fierce god, and then destroyed the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, even Jingyu didn't know why the Huanglong didn't directly bombard Yihao on the spot......
The only thing that allowed her to have some hope was the news that Suzaku brought - for the past three days, the imperial dragon had been standing quietly in front of the ruins of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, without any angry expression, and if this continued, maybe Yihao would have a chance to escape this catastrophe......
Thinking of this, Jing Yu looked up at the window, the sky there had already returned to the blue of the past, but the number of auspicious birds flying in the air had decreased significantly, and a blue enchantment shrouded this building, which was the divine power prohibition laid by Qinglong himself, even if Suzaku wanted to break it, it would take a lot of effort, thus completely cutting off Jing Yu's plan to escape with Yihao.
“…… Jingyu, hasn't he woken up yet? At this moment, Gabriel poked his head out of the staircase and asked. As one of the suspects in the conspiracy to sabotage Penglai, the archangel is also being held in this makeshift cell. Five days earlier, the power of the Imperial Dragon slashing through the gates of hell had given her an unbearable shock, and it had taken her a full day to recover from the shock, and then she was extremely enthusiastic about Yihao's physical condition.
"Well, I should be about to wake up...... Jingyu touched Yihao's wrist, feeling that his pulse was much stronger than a few days ago, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I want to go down and dress up, can I ask you to take care of Lang Jun? Jingyu stood up, smoothed Shun's messy head, turned to Gabriel and asked.
"Dressed?" Gabriel walked over, and rightfully looked puzzled.
"Lang Jun is about to wake up, I don't want him to see my ugly appearance......" Jing Yu pulled a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth, but just as she walked up the stairs, a hand gently grabbed the corner of her clothes.
“…… Stupid, what are you pretending to be......" Yihao, who didn't know when he woke up, looked at the beauty that had lost a lot of color due to heavy fatigue, and his heart swelled with deep love. "That's good, if anyone dares to say you're ugly, I'm sure he'll be ugly right away."
