Prequel 1: Unknown Blood and Chaos
The poem says:
You don't see the snow on the seaside, and the flat sand is reckless and yellow into the sky. Luntai roared in September at night, and the gravel of a river was as big as a bucket, and the stones were all over the ground with the wind.
The flat sand is boundless, and no one is visible. The river lingers, and the mountains are disputed. It is gloomy and miserable, and the wind is sad. The grass is dry, and the frost is like a morning. If the birds don't fly, the beasts will die!
There is an endless land here, and there is a scorched earth that has been devastated by life. As the sky grew older, the cool breeze began to blow and desolate.
The trees on the ground, each one is very stout, the youngest one has to be hugged by two people, and the oldest one is lying there is a behemoth, and it takes seven or eight people to hug it, and it is really impossible to imagine how such a thick tree can grow on such a scorched earth.
They have different forms, upside down, lying down, and some have even become charcoal, and the dead state is different from each other.
Thousands of miles away, the wind was raging, and there were three figures in beast clothes standing.
Among the three figures, one in the middle was holding a sword, one on the left was holding a ding, and one on the right was holding a large flag.
This sword, golden yellow. The sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and the mountains, rivers and plants on the other. On the hilt of the sword, the art of farming and animal husbandry is written, and the policy of unification of the four seas is written on the other. At a glance, you can see that this is a sword that contains infinite power.
This tripod is inky black, with three legs on top of one, and the tripod mouth derives two ears. On the pitch-black top wall, there are all kinds of ancient and mysterious creatures, there are strange-looking three-legged birds, thick coiled hideous ancient vines, strange and blooming magical flowers, complex and born, small tripod body, all-encompassing, endless, as if there is an endless meaning.
This flag is blood red and triangular in shape. On the blood-colored banner, there is only a fierce monster embroidered. This monster has a human body with cow hooves, four eyes and six hands, ears and sideburns like a halberd, and a head with two horns. Although it may seem scary, as soon as you get a little closer to it, a strong battle intent rises from the bottom of your heart.
To the west of these three figures, that is, behind them, stood five behemoths.
Among the five behemoths, in the center is a hundred zhang long, seventy zhang high, set the dragon's head, antlers, lion's eye, tiger's back, bear waist, snake scales, horseshoe, oxtail in one, there is a horn with meat unicorn.
On the east side of the unicorn, there is a green dragon with a length of one hundred and two zhang, a body like a long snake, a unicorn head, a carp tail, a long beard, horns like a deer, five claws, and a mighty appearance.
In the south, it is 90 zhang long, 70 zhang wide, the bird body is plump, the head is hooked and the beak is raised, the tail is rectangular, the two sides are stepped shaped, and the red scaly wings around the body fly in the air.
In the west, it is a white tiger with a length of 90 zhang and a height of 60 zhang, white as jade, and the body shape is no different from that of the tiger of later generations.
To the north, there is a body length of 90 zhang, a height of 60 zhang, a body width of 60 zhang, a turtle body snake tail, a turtle back is black Xuanwu standing on the ground.
Although the three of them and the five beasts did not move, the aura of the Great Dao on their bodies was pervasive, evolving repeatedly, and it was endless. Just looking at this momentum, I want to ask who in the world can compete with it!
However, the three of them and the five beasts joined forces, looking up at the eastern sky together, and their expressions were solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.
What is it that makes them so jealous?
Suddenly, the already dark sky in the east became even darker, and there was a trace of black gas in the darkness.
Immediately, the black gas flourished, and there was no end in sight. It covered the entire sky in just a breath and kept pouring down on the ground.
This posture is not to devour everything in the world!
"This is the third time that Bendi has come, and it is also the last time!" In the black air, there were bursts of piercing screams, which made people shudder when they heard it.
"All beings are immortal, and my way will last forever!" The man holding the golden sword gritted his teeth, and the golden sword in his hand emitted a thousand rays of light, and the killing aura enveloped the entire land, slashing straight towards the black qi in the air.
The man on the left also moved.
I saw that the three-legged tripod hanging on his head suddenly became dozens of zhang big, and bursts of cyan light kept emitting from the tripod, which looked soft, restrained, and without the slightest attack power. But the power they contained was no less than the golden light of the one in the middle, and it also struck towards the black qi in the air.
The one on the right, the battle flag in his hand swelled dozens of times and hung in the air, and the battle flag began to emit a vague blood-colored light continuously, engulfing each other with the black qi.
Behind them, the five divine beasts roared, each showing their abilities, offering all kinds of secret methods, peerless learning, or breathing fire, or spitting water, or spitting teeth and claws into the black qi.
For a while, the lights were brilliantly intertwined, accompanied by the roar of dragons and tigers, the hissing of birds' hooves, and the roar of Xuanwu and the sky.
The dead trees thousands of miles away have been reduced to ashes.
If time is a long river that flows calmly, and space is the water in the river, then the water in a certain section of the river has stirred up a thousand waves and is constantly bursting. And before the splash of this section of the river calmed down, the water of another section of the river began to be blown into countless droplets......
This battle is three hundred years after a fight.
In the end, the light emitted by the three people and the five beasts was all swallowed by the black qi.
The three people who stayed at the front took off their hands, and although they soon returned, these three people had long lost their previous vigor and coughed up blood from the back.
Compared to them, the five divine beasts were even worse. When they landed, they only smashed the ground into layers and broke it, kicking up patches of dust.
What is puzzling is that under the destruction of such a huge force, when this land was smashed to a certain extent, runes flashed on the ground, protecting this land from continuing to shatter.
"Bendi also said that this is the last time Bendi will come. Let's see how this emperor beats you to pieces, so that all the ants in the world know the consequences of not obeying the destiny of heaven!"
After the three of them and the five beasts were injured, bursts of hideous and sharp laughter came from the black air.
After laughing, the black qi was even stronger, and it only pressed on the top of the heads of the three people and five beasts, and they could be swallowed at any time.
"Fight!" the Qilin roared, and its four thick legs leaped from the ground, and with a phantom shadow, it fought with the black qi again.
"Yang Yang Immortal Realm, how can you be presumptuous!" the white tiger roared, bowing and pounced.
"I'll also say that all living beings are immortal, and my way will last forever!" The remaining three people and three beasts looked at each other and killed them together.
It's a pity that they were soon ruthlessly shot down by the black gas. In this way, the three people and five beasts completely lost their combat power.
The black qi struck, and the voice wrapped in it said proudly: "What sentient beings are immortal, the way of Erdao will live forever, and the way of this emperor is the way of heaven! From now on, there will never be your existence in this world!"
The man holding the golden sword had blood-red eyes, and said sadly: "I did my best!"
"We've tried, we've struggled!" said the man with the banner of battle to the man with the golden sword.
The remaining one person and five beasts also had their livers and intestines broken, bowed their heads and sighed.
Knowing that you are going to die and your life is going to be ruined, but you can't do anything about it, what a despair!
Just when they were in despair, suddenly a chicken head, swallow jaw, snake neck, turtle back, fish tail, five-colored, ninety zhang long, seventy zhang wide fire phoenix appeared out of thin air with a crisp birdsong.
With a "bang", the phoenix spat out boundless flames from its mouth, and only the black qi that burned was retreating.
"Huh?"
After being burned back for hundreds of zhang, a sound of surprise came from the black air, and he said to himself in some confusion: "How can there be a phoenix with Vermilion Bird, why didn't the emperor notice its existence? Could it be that the Great Dao has changed? Or is it ......?"
When he thought of the latter possibility, Hei Qi was a little jealous.
The three people and five beasts on the ground all had complex expressions, among which the green dragon was the most obvious.
"I didn't expect you to come anyway!" Qinglong's voice was low, and the contradiction in his tone was indescribable.
At the same time, they didn't understand that just now their top eight alliance failed to take advantage of the black qi, why did the phoenix, which was comparable to them, start to retreat as soon as the black qi came?
"Haha, that's true!" the three-legged man on top of his head laughed as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had a guess that he hadn't told for some reason, and now the arrival of the phoenix just confirmed that his guess was correct.
If someone takes a closer look, it is not difficult to see that the three-legged tripod on this person's head is overflowing with a trace of green energy, mending the wounds left by the great war for him.
"Hurry up and breathe, this seat is in the way first!" said to everyone with a heavenly sound from the huge beak of the phoenix.
"There's not much time left for us, do your best!" said the man with the golden sword to the side, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to breathe.
"Get close to the lone tripod, so you will recover from your injuries faster!" reminded the man with the three-legged tripod on his head.
The five divine beasts struggled to move on the ground, trying to get closer to the three-legged tripod.
At this time, the green light in the three-legged tripod became more and more abundant, although it could not be compared with the beginning, but it was enough to envelop the three people and five beasts on the ground.
