Chapter 81: Breakout
The reason why human beings call the demon beast clan "beasts" is because human beings feel that demon beasts drink blood and only live by instinct and savagery. But in fact, in many cases, humans are much more savage and cruel than monsters. Throughout the history of the continent, there have been countless mutilations of the demon beast clan by human beings.
The tyrant also felt the same way, and in the memories he passed down, his dislike for humans had almost been deeply imprinted into the blood of their demon beast clan.
After being silent for a long time, the tyrant sighed softly and said, "Huayin, I know what you said, we all know it. However, since we have known each other for a few times, and until now, we have not always had a wish, that is, we want to go out of this holy place and see what the outside world is like, don't we? Now that we have this opportunity, I think we should take advantage of it. Working with Emperor Kid, I've already decided on this matter. As for what you think, I hope you can think about it as well. ”
Hearing the tyrant's words, Hua Yin and Tongsa both fell silent, and soon after, Tongsa smiled and said, "Tyrant, since you choose to believe in this human kid, then I have nothing to say. There's just a problem, can we really get out of here with this human being? You know, after so many years, we haven't even been able to find the slightest bit of the mysterious prohibition on the periphery of this holy land. Not to mention these newcomers?"
Regarding Tongsa's questioning, Di Tian just smiled slightly and did not comment.
The tyrant waved his hand and said, "It's okay, whether it can be done or not, you have to try." Now the situation in the Holy Land is becoming more and more severe, and if we can't find a way out, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will also enter the consequences of destruction. You remember a thousand years ago, when we didn't know each other very well. At that time, wasn't there also a group of foreign human cultivators who broke into our holy land and finally disappeared into the ** valley? At that time, we couldn't figure out what was going on, but now it seems that most of them are not much different from what this Emperor Tian kid said. ”
Hearing this, Hua Yin and Tongsa nodded in agreement.
Then, Hua Yin said: "Brother Xiong King, we haven't seen each other for a few days, how has it been in your territory recently?"
The tyrant shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What else can we do? The number of people at all levels has been greatly reduced, and that guy is already getting closer and closer to us." ”
Hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, what is that guy the tyrant was talking about? After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Tyrant, what are you talking about?"
The Demon Bear Tyrant turned his head and glanced at Di Tian, as if he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Emperor Tian boy, to tell you the truth, the real reason why this king is so anxious to find a way to leave the Holy Land is actually because our Holy Land is facing a huge threat at this time. If we can't find a way out, our huge holy place will become the granary of that guy. And all living things here, even us, will become its prey!"
Seeing that the demon bear said so seriously, Di Tian also faintly felt a little bad, and hurriedly said, "What is that guy?"
The tyrant's expression suddenly changed, and Hua Yin and Tongsa beside him also had a different color.
"Swallow the sky!" the tyrant slowly spat out two words.
"Swallowing the sky?" Di Tian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out for a while, what did this mean.
I saw the tyrant nodding solemnly: "That's right." I don't know if you've heard of the name Sky Devouring Demon Beast!"
Heaven Devouring Demon Beast?!Di Tian only felt a buzzing in his head, and the whole person felt a little blind. It turned out to be the Sky Devouring Demon Beast, the legendary Great Demon of World Destruction, how could it appear here?!
Regarding the name of the Heaven Devouring Demon Beast, Emperor Tian was no stranger. In all the books he had read about demon beasts before, almost all of them had records of sky-swallowing demon beasts. Specifically, in fact, no one had ever seen the true appearance of the Sky Devouring Demon Beast at all. Every time it appears, it changes the color of the heavens and the earth, as if swallowing the sky, and darkness envelops the world. Then, everything that has life on the ground will be swallowed up by the black shadow that emerges in mid-air, no matter what it is, whether it is a human or a demon beast, in front of the Sky Devouring Demon Beast, there is only the fate of being devoured by it.
This heaven-swallowing demon beast made Emperor Tian can't help but think of the gluttony in those gods and monsters in the legends of the earth in his previous life. It's just that this Heaven Devouring Demon Beast is far more terrifying and powerful than the legendary gluttony. In the historical records of the Heavenly Evolution Continent, the Heaven Devouring Demon Beast appeared a total of twice. But these two times have brought almost the threat of destruction to the entire continent.
The first time the Sky Devouring Demon Beast appeared, it could have been traced back to ancient times, tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, in less than half a year, under the ravage of the Heaven Devouring Demon Beast, more than 100 countries of the human race were wiped out. At that time, humanity lost almost half of its population. But no one even knows what the other party looks like. All of a sudden, the sky fell into darkness, and then death came.
It was also for this reason that people named that unknown guy the Sky Devouring Demon Beast at that time.
And then wait until it appears for the second time, thousands of years ago. The last time the Sky Devouring Demon Beast appeared, the world had nothing to do with this guy, and in the end, I don't know if it was enough life force it devoured, or how, in short, it appeared mysteriously, and finally disappeared mysteriously. However, its second appearance brought an even greater disaster to the entire Heavenly Evolution Continent.
That time, almost the entire Heavenly Evolution Continent was involved, and where the Heaven Devouring Demon Beast passed, there was not a single grass. In the sky above the entire Celestial Continent, a shadow of death was cast. If the Sky Devouring Demon Beast first appeared, it only destroyed the human realm, so people would classify that guy as a demon beast. But this time, the Sky Devouring Demon Beast appeared again, which made people see it clearly. This guy, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a demon beast, you will all take it into your mouth.
At that time, the entire world was already facing the threat of destruction, and as a last resort, the Divine Martial Realm, the holy land of human cultivators, finally joined forces with the Demon Separation Realm for the first time to fight against the Heaven Devouring Demon Beast. The battle was extremely tragic, and even if you search for the ancient historical books that have been handed down from now on, it is difficult to find a complete record.
Everyone only knew that at that time, the human cultivators united with a group of high-level demon beasts in the Demon Separation Realm, and thousands of teams went together to crusade against the Heaven Devouring Demon Beasts. But as a result, very few came back alive in the end. And about the situation of that battle, the one who came back alive never mentioned it.
It's just that after that battle, the Sky Devouring Demon Beast disappeared again, and this world gained peace for thousands of years.
But at this time, listening to the meaning of the tyrant and the others, this Heaven Devouring Demon Beast actually appeared here, how could this not make Di Tian feel frightened!? Di Tian hurriedly asked, "Tyrant, are you not kidding? You said it, but the legendary Sky Devouring Demon Beast that almost destroyed the world?!
I saw the tyrant shake his head and smile bitterly, and said, "Emperor Tian boy, I don't know if it's or not, I'm not sure." But what I can tell you is that don't look at the holy place we are in now, it is not a complete holy place, but so many people of my clan live here, and they can also survive and reproduce, and the cycle is endless. Even if it is another 10,000 years, I'm afraid there will be no problem. However, in the past two hundred years, an extremely evil aura suddenly appeared in this holy place. Even if we waited, we couldn't find the true place of this breath. The breath flickered, and no one knew where it was or what it was. However, every time this evil aura appears, there will be a great deal of death in the Holy Land. Many of our kind died because of this. ”
"At first, we didn't know what was going on, let alone thinking of Swallowing Heaven? This has been going on for more than a hundred years, and the number of times that evil aura appears has become more and more frequent, and the lives lost by our clan for no reason have also increased exponentially. It wasn't until almost ten years ago that something suddenly happened in our holy place. In the Flawless Mountain in the north, you probably don't know that place, Emperor Tianzi, it used to be the territory of the Tianhu clan, but after the Tianhu clan disappeared somehow, it became the place of Lao Peng. Lao Peng is the same as this king, to be honest, our strength is also about the same. However, one day that year, the sun was clear in the daylight, and suddenly it was as if it was dark, and the entire holy land was filled with that strong evil aura. Even now that I think about it, that breath makes this king feel terrible. It was dark, and we didn't know what was going on, so it lasted for about half a day, and the breath gradually dissipated, and the sky was bright again. ”
Speaking of this, the tyrant suddenly paused, with a bit of a taste that Emperor Tian couldn't understand. And hearing this critical juncture, Di Tian's heart was also full of nervousness, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, waiting for the following.
The tyrant looked back at Huayin and Tongsa beside him, and both of them looked equally gloomy.
The tyrant continued, "After the sky is back to light, I will rush to the place where the evil aura was the strongest before, that is, the Immaculate Mountain. But when we got there, we found that the whole Immaculate Mountain was as if it had been scorched by fire, the trees were black, the ground was also black, and the originally vibrant and rich Immaculate Mountain had no sign of life. And then we finally found Lao Peng, which ...... Like the rest of its fellow tribes in the mountains, it had already turned into a pile of bones......"
At this point, the tyrant did not continue, his expression was a little heavy, as if he was caught in the unbearable past.
The sky fades and death falls.
All of this that the tyrant said was so similar to the legendary scene of the Swallowing Heaven.
Di Tian's heart suddenly tightened, could it be that this Heaven Devouring Demon Beast really appeared here? I have to admit that Di Tian felt a little panicked at this time. In the face of the legendary world-destroying demon like the Sky Devouring Demon Beast, no matter how conceited Di Tian was, he didn't dare to say that he could deal with it. For thousands of years, whether it is the Divine Martial Realm or the Demon Separation Realm, so many peerless powerhouses have no way to take it, if Emperor Tian and they really collide with the Heaven Devouring Demon Beast here at this time, the result can be imagined.
"Emperor Boy, now you know why this king is in a hurry to find a way to get out of here, right? If you continue to stay here, not only us, but also you humans, will not be able to escape the fate of destruction. The tyrant glanced at Di Tian and said, "According to our observations over the years, we have found that most of this is the right to swallow the sky. Although it doesn't seem as terrifying and powerful as the legend, I feel that this guy is constantly strengthening. The life it devours seems to be able to provide it with growth. If you wait for this guy to get stronger and stronger, and then devour all the creatures in this holy place. I'm afraid that by that time, no matter how powerful this formation that trapped our Holy Land is, it may not be able to stop it. As long as it appears outside again, that'......"
The tyrant didn't say any more, but the meaning of his words, Emperor Tian understood very well. If the Sky Devouring Demon Beast was really born, then what greeted them would undoubtedly be a world-destroying catastrophe.
The mountains and forests of the Demon Yuan Ridge are dense, and the terrain is treacherous. At this time, in a place in the forest, more than ten people were gathered together, looking nervous. And around them, there were countless demon beasts standing densely. These demon beasts were eyeing each other, with a blazing light in their eyes, and their killing intent was soaring.
This group of people is Di Chongyang and his party, before Emperor Tian led away the Demon Bear Tyrant, and then they also chased after him. It's just that the situation in this Demon Yuan Ridge is very complicated, and the speed of the demon bear at that time was too fast, so they couldn't catch up. Later, as everyone went deep into the forest, they suddenly found that they had fallen into the heavy encirclement of all the demon beasts in this Demon Yuan Ridge.
Looking around, the demon beasts around at this time had a ghostly light in their eyes, even if there were not a thousand, there should be hundreds. However, Di Chongyang's group was originally only about twenty people. Previously, Xu Lao fought hard with the Demon Bear Tyrant, and he was even more injured, and at this time, it was all up to Zong Zhengjun to maintain it alone. As for the others, after these demon beasts were besieged for a whole day, they were even more injured and died, and there were only a few left who could still stand.
"Uncle Emperor, what should we do now, we are already surrounded by a heavy circle, and if we want to break through, I am afraid it will not be easy. Beside him, it was Duan Kaiyang who spoke, at this time he also had a lot of colors on his body, covered with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own, or if he died on his demon beast, he looked very embarrassed, and he didn't have the appearance of a dashing son before.
There are more and more demon beasts gathering from all sides, and they are getting closer and closer to them. Di Chongyang's face was also a little ugly, and it could be seen that there was a bit of exhaustion between his eyebrows, and it seemed that he was probably still injured on his body. Hearing Duan Kaiyang's words, Emperor Chongyang endured the pain on his body, smiled, and said, "Kaiyang Virtuous Nephew, decades ago, when I was in the Western Desert with your father, the situation was similar to now, surrounded by a group of enemies. Hehe, I really can't imagine that after many years, I encountered such a desperate situation again, but the people around me have been replaced by the sons of old friends. ”
Di Chongyang's tone did not show any nervousness, nor did he have the slightest panic, at this time, he seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his tone was indifferent. Somehow, hearing Emperor Chongyang's words, Duan Kaiyang had gradually fallen into a trough mood, but at this time, it seemed to suddenly boil again. His frowning brow couldn't help but unfold, revealing a hint of a smile.
"It is Kaiyang's honor to be able to fight with Uncle Emperor to kill the enemy!" Just a simple sentence, Duan Kaiyang's eyes suddenly became firm again.
Di Chongyang just nodded silently and didn't say anything more. Looking around at the demon beasts around him, Di Chongyang's mood was heavy, he knew very well that in today's battle, they were likely to be more than lucky. In fact, as early as when he decided to enter this ancient secret realm, he already had the consciousness of death. It's just that what I didn't expect was that Tian'er would come in halfway. Originally, I thought that as long as the father and son worked together, even if it was difficult, they would still be able to get out of here safely after all.
But now, Tian'er was chased by the demon bear, and not only could he not be rescued, but he was also in danger. Even if there are 10,000 people in my heart, I believe that Tian'er must be auspicious and can turn danger into a disaster. But in fact, his heart was still full of apprehension, especially in the face of such a desperate situation at this time. Di Chongyang knew that among them now, only Zong Zhengjun had the ability to fight his way out of the encirclement, and as for the others, he was afraid that he would have to confess here.
The open space in front of Di Chongyang and the others was already full of corpses, including their companions, but more of them were left by those demon beasts. These demon beasts all seemed to be crazy, and they all pounced on them one by one, although Emperor Chongyang's side also brought some good hands among human cultivators. However, among this group of demon beasts, there are mostly various mid-level and high-level demon beasts. Even Zong Zhengjun, in the face of the crazy raid of so many demon beasts, he felt a struggle.
The strong smell of blood permeated the entire mountain forest.
"Emperor Family Master......" Zong Zhengjun condensed his eyes and guarded the surroundings, slowly approached Emperor Chongyang, and then said: "The current situation is not good, even the old man is afraid that it will be difficult to resist so many demon beasts. Later, the old man will try his best to kill an exit, and the emperor will follow the old man and kill it together!"
When Zong Zhengjun spoke, his eyes looked around coldly, and most of the people in front of him who were ranked first in the exam were just some middle-level demon beasts of the fifth or sixth order. If it were in normal times, Zong Zhengjun would not take these mid-level demon beasts in his eyes at all. But now it's different, there are too many demon beasts here, the so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master, even if he is as strong as Zong Zhengjun, he doesn't dare to fight hard with so many demon beasts head-on. What's more, among these demon beasts, there are still a lot of powerful guys.
These high-level demon beasts have all become elites, and they are very cunning. Their strength is not weak, but none of them rushed up boldly, and they kept letting those low-level demon beasts fight hard, and then these guys secretly attacked from time to time. Before, if one was not careful, Zong Zhengjun was almost injured by a sneak attack by a guy.
When Emperor Chongyang heard Zong Zhengjun's words, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and his expression moved slightly. Immediately afterwards, he suddenly smiled indifferently and said, "Senior Zongzheng, the matter of cooperation between you and me, in fact, to put it bluntly, was decided by the seniors and the dogs. Now that the dog is gone, our partnership can be terminated. Zongzheng's predecessors don't have to worry about us and others, just fight their way out of the encirclement from here. If...... If the dog can escape from the demon bear, and the senior Zongzheng can see him again in the future, I hope to help him bring him a word......"
Di Chongyang's tone of words was resolute, obviously a bit of a dying last word.
Zong Zhengjun frowned when he heard this, glanced at Emperor Chongyang deeply, and then suddenly his face turned cold, and he snorted: "Emperor Chongyang, if you have anything to say, go to your boy yourself, don't fucking count on Lao Tzu." ”
Obviously, Zong Zhengjun's strange temper has come up again.
