Chapter 822 - Now There Is
Heavenly Abyss Continent.
It is divided into two areas: Demon Abyss and Heavenly Domain.
As in many fantasy works, there are different intelligent races in the Abyss Continent, including humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and demons.
Demons are different from humans and dwarves.
Strictly speaking, it is not considered a single race.
Among humans, dwarves, elves, and orcs, there are special "humans" who have a similar appearance to their counterparts, but their skin color is brown and almost black.
At the same time, they can perceive magical energy, and once they perceive that magical energy is absorbed and used, these people will become tyrannical and bloodthirsty.
Over time, these people were separated, collectively known as the Demon Race, and were driven to the bitter cold land on the other side of the continent where the environment was terrible and it was difficult to survive.
Those places are called the Demon Abyss.
The place where the normal race lives is called the Heavenly Domain.
For a long time, the demons were bent on counterattacking the Heavenly Domain, and the two sides fought endlessly.
Sometimes the demons have the upper hand, and sometimes the celestial clan has the upper hand.
Until hundreds of years ago, a demon dragon fell from the sky and fell into the Demon Abyss region, and then led the demons to continuously attack the heavenly domain.
Now occupying one-half of the territory of the Heavenly Domain, it has the intention of exterminating all the Heavenly Races.
That dragon was Tiamat.
Tiamat seems to have escaped the influence of the Old Gods of Flesh, but has not returned to the dream realm of the gods.
After all, it is not a dream apostle of the Eight Classics, but a true servant of Xia Yan.
In the dream realm of the gods, there was no mission before.
They had met with Tiamat, and before they could say a few words, Tiamat was furious.
Tao E and they didn't want to fight with Tiamat, so they chose to leave and asked Xia Yanzhen to come out of the mountain.
Because the door had been opened before leaving, Xia Yanzhen was in the Demon Abyss area of the continent as soon as he entered.
Compared to the Heavenly Domain, the Demon Abyss region is generally cold.
Two-thirds of the days of the year are ravaged by snowstorms.
The natural living conditions are harsh.
In this environment, the number of demons is small, but those who can survive are strong.
Nowadays, there are not many demons in the Demon Abyss, and most of the demons have moved to the Heavenly Domain after occupying the Heavenly Domain.
The number is also growing, and it is close to the total number of the Celestial Clan.
The Demon Abyss has slowly become a place of tempering for some demon powerhouses, as well as a place for a few old-school demon clans.
Among them, the old-school demons, including the demon king, the Nether Demon Dragon, Tiamat.
Tiamat's place of residence, on the edge of the Abyss, at the junction of the Heavenly Realm.
The Heavenly Realm and the Demon Abyss are separated by an abyss and a mountain range.
Together, the dividing line is half mountains and half abyss.
Birds fly above the abyss, and almost anyone who tries to cross the abyss of the rift will be dragged to the bottom of the abyss by the terrifying force.
And the towering mountains, more than half of the height, were all shrouded in a terrifying blizzard.
The blizzard lasts all year round, and if you enter it, you will almost inevitably be frozen into ice.
Between the mountains and the abyss, there is the only passage between the heavenly realm and the demon abyss.
This vast pathway is covered by blizzards for a third of the year, dominated by the gravitational pull of terror for a third of the year, and the remaining third is normal.
It used to be a battleground for the war between the Tianyu clan and the demon clan.
Now it is the bridgehead of the Demon King's residence.
Tiamat's lives at the back of the passage, in the Black Mountain of the Abyss region.
Montenegro is a high mountain overgrown with black trees.
The Demon King lives in it, but no one knows whether he built a castle or a cave in all directions.
At the foot of the Black Mountain, many demon powerhouses guarded it.
When Xia Yanzhen came to the foot of the Black Mountain, there was a movement around him.
More than fifty demon powerhouses appeared and surrounded them.
But he didn't do it in the first place.
Xia Yanzhen's body exuded an inhuman-like aura, which made the demons instinctively feel a palpitation.
This person, it seems that he is not from the Tianyu clan?
But it's not a demon either.
Xia Yanzhen looked at the surrounding demons.
Like the information given by Tao E, there is not much difference between the demons and the "ordinary people" in appearance.
Only the skin color is brown and almost dark.
In "professional" terms, it can be called black skin, brown skin.
Humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs look just as they imagined.
Elves are handsome, pointy-eared, bearded, short, half-orcs - not orcs, but people with some beastly features.
It has ears, a tail, and limbs that are close to beasts and humans in other aspects.
"You are %*-&)......"
The weapons used by the elves were also very stereotypical, and they drew their bows to aim at Xia Yanzhen.
A demon human looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked.
Some words don't make sense.
Xia Yan really knew the reason, his Dream Apostle's innate ability, the ability to understand language and writing, was also affected by the imprint space.
Fortunately, it's not completely useless.
Barely able to communicate.
"I'm looking for your demon king, Tiamat." Xia Yanzhen said.
To the ears of the demon people, Xia Yanzhen's words were not in the language they knew, but they could barely understand the meaning.
Vigilance suddenly went to the next level.
There was no need to exchange glances, and one of the elves silently stepped back, not to run, but to move the rescuers.
"If you want to see the Demon King, at least report to your home first, right?" Said the human in the demon race.
"Go and tell Tiamat that his master is back."
Xia Yanzhen showed a hint of a smile.
“……”
For the time being, the surrounding demon people only understood the name of the demon king, as well as the master.
For a while, I couldn't figure out the relationship between the person in front of me and the demon king, and I didn't dare to act rashly.
Could it be that this person is a servant of the Demon King?
As for the Demon King being his servant, how is this possible?
"Don't you lead the way? Or do I have to find it myself? ”
Seeing that everyone was not moving, Xia Yanzhen slowly flew up, intending to make some noise and force Tiamat out.
At this moment, the space in front of Xia Yanzhen blurred for a while, forming a whirlpool.
A black paw poked out of it and headed straight for Xia Yanzhen.
The invisible force field blocked the dragon claws, and Xia Yanzhen watched as a tall half-dragon man walked out of the whirlpool.
Its appearance is not much different from that of a Tiamat human.
However, there is an extra pair of dragon horns on the bald head, and there is also a dragon tail on the back.
The limbs are distinctly dragon claw shapes.
Half-dragon stance.
"Who are you?"
Xia Yanzhen looked at the bald dragon man who came out and asked.
He instinctively felt that the "person" in front of him was a little different from Tiamat.
It doesn't seem to be Tiamat.
Although only from the outside, there is no difference between the two.
"Who are you?" Sure enough, the demon dragon in front of him asked Xia Yanzhen rhetorically, but he didn't recognize who Xia Yanzhen was.
"Is it Tao E, they are mistaken? Or amnesia? Xia Yan said secretly in his heart, "There shouldn't be a mistake, the Nether Demon Dragon should be unique." ”
"Don't speak? Hum! Who dares to come to my demon territory to spread wild? Die! ”
Seeing that Xia Yan really didn't speak, Tiamat (let's just assume that he was Tiamat) made a decisive move.
As he swung his claws, a huge dragon claw phantom formed, passing over Xia Yanzhen's body.
"Sure enough, you don't know me. Forget it, take it back first. ”
Xia Yanzhen grabbed it casually, and the force field directly grabbed Tiamat.
Fly towards where the space door is.
Many demons saw that their demon lord was grabbed by someone in the air like a little chicken, and he couldn't struggle.
“……”
The elf who had just reported the news retreated behind everyone again, this time not to move the rescuers.
The strongest demon king has been captured, and there is no rescue!
It's a simple way to avoid danger.
Without waiting for those demons to react, Xia Yanzhen had already come to the location of the space gate, first threw Tiamat who was still struggling, and then stepped in by himself, temporarily closing the space gate.
This temporary closure does not cause the loss of destination or origin, and can be reopened at any time.
It also prevents others from coming in through the space door.
"Coming back so soon?" In the manor, Tao E hadn't left yet, and when he saw Xia Yanzhen coming back with Tiamat, he sighed at its high efficiency.
"It's a bit of a problem, he doesn't seem to be Tiamat."
Xia Yanzhen regained control of Tiamat.
It can be seen that his eyes are full of tyranny, and there seems to be a purple, black and gold flame burning in his eyes.
At any moment, it can erupt dragon breath and burn everything around it.
But he was so pressed by Xia Yanzhen that he couldn't move, and he could only use his eyes to represent anger.
"Isn't it?" Tao E was a little surprised, "We shouldn't have found the wrong person, right?" ”
"I feel that something is wrong, let's find someone to take a closer look, maybe I can find a clue." Xia Yanzhen said.
"Okay, I'll call someone."
Tao E returned to the Dream of the Gods and quickly found some professionals.
The crowd, including himself, was discerned after a period of probing.
Sure enough, it was discovered that the soul of this dragon was not complete, and the seemingly complete soul was actually only two-thirds of the soul in its normal state.
The remaining third was divided, and it is not known whether it dissipated or was elsewhere.
"It may be that part of the soul has been separated with the power of the old gods of flesh and blood, causing the memory to be biased." Tao E gives a possibility.
Blame has to recognize people.
"Are you going to re-tame?" Tie Xin next to him said.
He was not a professional, but he helped find someone and stopped by to have a look.
"It's hard."
Without waiting for Xia Yanzhen to speak, Tao E gave a conclusion.
The special Nether Dragon is not something that can be tamed.
Being strong doesn't mean you can make everyone surrender to you.
During the inspection just now, Tiamat never gave in, although he was suppressed.
The tyrannical nature is destined to devour the Lord.
The "combat power" that will devour the Lord at any time is not a boost.
It was really impossible for Xia Yan to devote his energy to looking at Tiamat all the time.
"I'm going to look at the original world, and if I can find the other third of the souls, I'll bring them back. If you can't find it, let him go. Xia Yanzhen said.
I don't know if it's due to the influence of his status as an old god, or if it's the relationship between missing a third of his soul.
At the moment, Tiamat is not his servant.
If he let it go, Tiamat should be truly free.
As for the struggle between the Heavenly Domain Clan and the Demon Clan, Xia Yanzhen didn't care.
This kind of thing related to the survival of various races, he has little interest in distinguishing who is right and who is wrong, who is righteous and who is evil, and then helps the righteous and right side.
Just because the demons are called demons doesn't mean they're evil.
Anyway, at present, Xia Yanzhen has not felt any old god aura from the demon race, and he is not an enemy for the time being.
The Demon Race finally completely occupied the Tianyuan Continent, or the Human Race drove the Demon Race back to the Demon Yuan again, it was not something that Xia Yan really cared about.
As for the tyrannical bloodthirsty ...... of demons In the short contact, Xia Yanzhen felt that they were not irritable, but rather cowardly.
"Okay." Tao E didn't object, "You give me a slightly more important position on his body, not too much, let's try to get a 'detector' out." ”
"Okay." Xia Yanzhen looked at Tiamat, "How is the dragon horn?" ”
"It should work."
Dragon's horn is a very important part.
There are also parts such as scales, eyes, and hearts.
Tiamat doesn't have reverse scales, and if you have eyes and heart, you can't try again.
For the Nether Dragon, the lack of a heart will not die, it will only become extremely weak.
Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand and folded in the air, breaking Tiamat's dragon horn.
An angry dragon roared.
Reverberates over the island of Divine Punishment.
Nearly ninety percent of the islanders trembled and had no faces, and the rest of them also had ugly faces.
What's that? What a terrifying sound, it seems that something big is happening.
How does it feel like it's coming from inside the Divine Punishment Manor?
Wait, it's from the Divine Punishment Manor?
Oh, that's fine.
The power of the Lord of Divine Punishment Island is now fully understood by everyone.
The first person in the past, the first person in the present.
If it weren't for some special reason that it was forgotten for a while.
The nickname of the Xia Dynasty will not be the king of the world at all, but "under one person" - now it is not possible to be under one person, the king of the world who is forced hard.
Xia Yanzhen gave the dragon horn to Tao E.
Tao E took people to the dream realm of the gods to tinker.
"You heard what we said, go back with me to find your missing soul, and if you can't find me, I'll set you free." Xia Yanzhen looked at Tiamat and said.
Tiamat understood Xia Yanzhen's words and didn't need a translation.
But he didn't respond.
"If you don't speak, you'll acquiesce."
Xia Yan really didn't care about this Tiamat's thoughts.
If he dies repeatedly, after making sure that he can't find the missing soul, Xia Yanzhen doesn't mind sending him on his way.
About two hours later.
Tao E came back with the dragon horn: "It's okay." ”
He let go of the dragon's horns.
The dragon's horns hovered in midair, the tip slowly pointing at Tiamat's location.
"If the missing soul is still there and has not dissipated, there is a high probability that it will not appear in the form of a simple soul, and it should be in some 'place', and the possibility of living creatures is relatively large." Tao E and Xia Yanzhen explained, "If you get close to a distance of about a kilometer, the dragon horn will automatically point, and you can use it as a compass." ”
"Got it." Xia Yanzhen nodded.
"I could have gone faster together, but we're on a mission soon." Tao E said.
They hurriedly ended their last trip and let Xia Yanzhen come forward.
Another reason is that their next mission is coming.
And most likely, it's a promotion mission.
Now that the team is reorganized, Tao E and Tiexin are all on the same team.
After passing this mission, there will be more than ten more Eleventh-Order Dream Apostles at one time.
"It's okay, you can concentrate on the task, I'm pretty idle anyway."
Xia Yanzhen said, reopening the portal, "Then I'll go." The flow rate of the two worlds is about the same, and if I don't come back in three or five years, you can pick it up. ”
"Okay." Tao E agreed.
The teleportation gun Xia Yanzhen still carried it.
But just in case, it's better to make an appointment.
Opening the door of space, Xia Yanzhen once again came to the Tianyuan Continent.
Near the space gate, more than a thousand demons had gathered, and they came out with Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat.
These demons exude an astonishing murderous aura.
Seeing that their Demon King's dragon horn had been broken, he was even more furious.
Almost did it on the spot.
"I won't say more nonsense, you demon powerhouses are respected."
Xia Yanzhen's gaze swept over the many demon clans, "From now on, I am your new demon king, who respects and who opposes?" ”
Hearing this, the anger of the demons stagnated slightly.
"Nonsense!" Soon, an old man of the demon clan scolded angrily, "Our demon clan has never had this rule!" ”
Everyone reacted, yes! When did our demons become strong?
The reason why the Demon King became the Demon King...... Not because he is strong enough, but because he can lead the demons to counterattack the Heavenly Domain!
Well, it's also a kind of strong man for the sake of respect.
But you can't say that, it seems that we demons are savage.
"Really?"
Xia Yanzhen was noncommittal, "It seems that you are an atypical demon clan. It doesn't matter, now there is. ”
